[Oxy]

re: a suitable lead, i would add 25 runs onto the target to take into account Pak's on-going no ball problems

 

[Somali Pirate]

good morning everyone.

just woke up.

go pak go!

 

[Oxy]

Does anyone else think Inzi is 'falling over' a bit?

 

[WasimG]

When eng was in this situation yesterday, the headline was "England aims to pile on runs" now when Pak is in this position it says "England target quick wickets"
They might as well call it enginfo.com

 

[Schiller]

everything is a wkt away

 

[Amjid Javed]

Does anyone else think Inzi is 'falling over' a bit?

yeah, hopefully he doesnt flatten pitch out to much.

 

[Daoud]

Does anyone else think Inzi is 'falling over' a bit?

Not watching, but Inzi tends to do that at the start of his innings. Hopefully he'll stop once hes completely settled

 

[Amjid Javed]

Giles on to bowl now.

 

[ali kc]

Giles on now

 

[Amjid Javed]

giles smashed for 4.

top shot by inzi!

 

[Daoud]

yeah, hopefully he doesnt flatten pitch out to much.

Conversely, we can hope he puts a khada in the pitch at a good length on about legstump

 

[Amjid Javed]
