[Rabbani]

Is the Match been played on same Pitch ? , if so 300 could be manageable

 

[Raz]

England 15-0 after 3 overs

Trescothick 2*
Prior 10*

RR 5.00

England lead by 15 runs with 47 overs remaining.

 

[offstump]

ronner isnt doing anything with the new ball

 

[octavian]

nop its a different pitch

 

[ontheBackfoot]

Difference between Arshad khan and Blackwell is

Arshad khan is an off spinner and not a very good one

and black well is a left arm leg spinner and naturally has that line going for him..

 

[pacman]

Rana bowling much better today. Lets hope he keeps it up. Shoaib looks like he is under some sort of pressure. He doesn't look like he is enjoying the stint.

 

[pakistani_banda]

shoaib is bowling too much on the sort length he should bowl full........

 

[pakistani_banda]

but rana is mashallah bowling very well.......

 

[pacman]

Ooooooooh, man, Tresco escaped.

 

[pacman]

Bootha think it was deliberate )

 

[Jonty]

early wickets needed!

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

delibrate punt over slips for 4 by tresco

 

[offstump]

great chance there,

 

[Raz]

England 18-0 after 4 overs

Trescothick 5*
Prior 10*

RR 4.50

England lead by 18 runs with 46 overs remaining.

 

[nafajafam]

Booth should reverse his way back to mother in law's lap!

 

[offstump]

my **** that was deliberate bootha

 

[nafajafam]

24-0 England
5 overs

 

[Raz]

Bootha is talking straight from his a*se if he thinks that was deliberate, he was talking as if Trescothick had all the time in the world to play that. It was 90mph+ that means less than half a second to react. It was a definate edge and wasnt deliberate. Just a damn good delivery!!

 

[nadeem]

is shoaibs fastest still 94.7?

 

[offstump]

rana with a zaheer-esque stare down

 

[nafajafam]

prior comes down the pitch to rana and misses.. good outswinger from him

 

[pakistani_banda]

wats the score.....the cricinfo score is not updated yet and can someone tell me the score after 5 overs....

 

[Jonty]

shoaib needs to bowl fuller

 

[octavian]

things not looking good. again for Pak

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

Who cares what speed it is when you're going at 6 runs per over.

 

[Raz]

After 5 overs 24-0

 

[nafajafam]

4 off rana down third man. good shot that.

 

[Sheikh]

prepare to chase 350 boys

 

[Jonty]

come on guys get a wicket

 

[studentsbiryani]

bloody raja "pooja-ing" goray as usual

 

[nafajafam]

30-0. 6 overs.

 

[Farah]

slower ball and bowled him

 

[Raz]

England 30-0 after 6 overs

Trescothick 16*
Prior 11*

RR 5.00

England lead by 30 runs with 44 overs remaining.

 

[pacman]

Tresco gone. HIHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

 

[smoothcriminal]

Wow. What A Ball

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

Pak are already playing with a batsman short. You'd think that they would at least choose an all-rounder for the supersub. Gambling on a bowler as a supersub when you've already got 6 bowlers is damn stupid. If you're going to gamble with this lineup, at least gamble with a batsman.

 

[Farah]

Captain gone sorry forgot to mention

 

[nafajafam]

Out

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

tr4esco goes

come on shoaib

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

bowled him! lol noone realized it lol neither did tresco good start for pakistan tresco was looking dangerous

 

[offstump]

hahahha i thought rameez was wrong on that one as usual

 

[Raz]

Tresco fooled by a slower ball and the bail is removed from his stump. Good breakthrough from Shoaib.

 

[Jonty]

that was my majic guys, give me some credit

 

[smoothcriminal]

slower ball managed to fool not only the batsman but the viewers also!

 

[nafajafam]

slower ball, seams off the pitch and kisses the off stump. bail falls off and tresco is out. good bowling for shoaib. England cant play fast bowling, now they cant even play slow bowling.

finally some sense being spoken

 

[Jonty]

akhtar has used his pace well. he is an express pacer but his wickets coming mainly from slower deliveries

 

[Raz]

95.8mph from Shoaib!!!

 

[offstump]

wow great 1st ball to strauss, 96 mph fast and had bounce

 

[nafajafam]

95.8mph delivery. fastest yet.

 

[pacman]

Shoaib looking better now. The wicket has given him confidence

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

varying his pace well this over shaoib showing his mastery

 

[Farah]

strauss is out to akhtar

 

[pacman]

Strauss Gone. Shoaib on fire.

 

[smoothcriminal]

Amazing Stuff!!!

 

[octavian]

what a catch

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

STRAUSS GONE!!! WAT A BALL! shoaib completely fools strauus with a bouncer and he is caught behind

 

[Shayan_Sohail]

Yeeeaaahhh,

Shoaaibbbyyy

 

[Jonty]

rawalpindi express!

 

[nafajafam]

Goneee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Short Ball And Taken By Akmal.

 

[Raz]

Strauss gone now!! A double wicket strike from Shoaib!!!!

 

[pacman]

Game on. Lets get KP quick.

 

[offstump]

viscious bouncer from shoaib, what a ball and i thought hair wasnt goona give it for a second

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

the danger man goes without troubling the scorers and england in trouble now this could be a double wicket maiden here

 

[nafajafam]

England 34-2. Good bowling by Shaibby.

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

yers staruss goes as well

 

[Raz]

Strauss tried fending off a nasty short delivery, takes the handle i think or very near to it and goes behind, it was going away from Kami but he took it very well!!

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

agaya kevin pussyson lets see how long he lasts

 

[CrickFan]

Arshad Khan as supersub ? How would you explain that ? Some cricketing strategy that is beyond the comprehension of mortals like us ?

 

[Sheikh]

more wickets

we need more wickets

more wickets

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

kp edges to third man in a retarded way as shoaib bowls a no ball

 

[pacman]

poor Shoaib. it was not a noball. Did KP hit that, otherwise that was plumb.

 

[darkmoon459]

oh man he almost got peter

 

[Jonty]

yes crikfan im afraid so

 

[offstump]

that wasnt even a noball you ****** hair and it was out too

 

[Raz]

That wasnt a no ball and was plumb!! No bat involved!! Hair robs Pakistan yet again!!!

 

[Sheikh]

we need them to use their super-sub

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

[nafajafam]

wasnt a noball and was plumb. Hair robbed us again.
