Really I have had enough of them.Even the guys who are in the ground they are saying it seems ok, Now even if you open cricinfo live coverage page of Pak vs England it says Partly cloudy.but all of them will come,Óh God we are going to have a washout"

"ït will start raining in 40 minutes time"

Thats rubbish, utterly rubbish.
 
Younis has covered his bases saying that Pakistan have '2 chances'. Gives the impression that he wouldn't be overly disappointed with a loss today, wheras England can't afford that. And with T20 matches, when the teams are more or less evenly matched, it often can come down to who wants it more....

reliable.. we will shortly find out..
its looking good man..Chance of Precip. 20%.. lets c wot happens..

got feelin pak will flop again..


Ohh I was dieing to know what you felt.

Thank You for the feeling.
 
Now compare him with Imran khan's attitude against England in 1992 worldcup..he wore t shirt with tiger on it n said at toss i want my team to attack like tiger or somehting those lines..winning mentality intimidates opposition..x factor man...

I dont rate younis at all man..how the hell he became pak captain..its ludicrice,
 
What's the rain situation guys? I am really excited for this game and if something happens to it, it will ruin my day.
 
Why are these skysports pundit talking like england have already qualified???
 
Can you people give it rest about the rain/weather.

If it rains, it rains. You can't do nothing about it.

Selecting Swann ahead of Rashid might be a mistake for England as the pitch is spinning quite a bit.

no, Swann has been so good for England,
my prediction for England: Macarenhas, KP and swann come in. And replace Morgan Key and Rashid, Os Swann could replace Sidebottom if England consider 2 spinners

thanks for a positive update.
 
TvOne reportn that Tanvir is going to be dropped and Aamer will play his first international game.
 
Oh, well that means that Aamer and Arafat will play
Gotta give my man ajmal the new ball now
 
ian botham has been dragged out for this one because it such a serious game!!!! presently having discussion with ward and david lloyd...

note: botham doesnt normally do 20/20
 
CMON PAKISTAN!!!
win the toss bat first, Akmal Afridi and Misbah fire and score 180-200
put the pressure on with the spinners straight away, strangle England, get the required rate up, Gul comes in to ball with a staggering ask for England and the batsmen try to hit his yorkers and get cleaned up one by one xD
 
botham saying pakistan spinners will come on very soon, straight after first 6 overs
 
I'm looking forward to Aamer bowling and seeing how fast he bowls.

InshaALLAH Pakistan will win.

Pakistan Zindabad.
 
Aamer will be super inshAllah
He will rattle England with his pace and bounce
He made Rohit Sharma hurry which is a big achievement as hes known for having extra time on his hands.
Give him the brand new ball along with saeed ajmal and Pakistan will do amazing inshAllah
 
Good afternoon and welcome to our coverage of this absurdly fascinating contest between England and Pakistan. I'm Will Luke, and I could scarcely be more up for this. As if you need reminding, if England lose this they're out of the tournament. Gone. Zip. Bye bye. No team news yet but, by 'eck, there will be soon. Stay tuned

We spotted Kevin Pietersen gobbling some pills (medicine - no funny business) so we think he could be playing, in spite of his Achilles pain. We'll confirm shortly

It's fine. He's barely at 60% anyway, so he probably can't do much.

That's dangerous, he knows he has nothing to lose so he might play fearless cricket.
 
Good to see Amer.

What about the other youngsters: Ahmed Shezad, Shahzaib Hasan and Shahid Afridi?
 
oh alright thanks,
then i guess shahzaib sits out
and maybe tanvir sits out

You just crack me up.
 
but is back, rest of the guys are the same... wat does that mean, we had 13 players last time
 
bowling first! ... I really want to see Aamer rip through England today.

wow it's drizzling there now. Hopefully it stays at that.
 
rightly Tanvir replaced by Yasir Arafat who has experience playing in England.
 
I hoped Pakistan batted first, but yonis better win this match now!
 
Here's the toss...Pakistan have won and will bowl. Younus expects the ball to move around, which is a fair guess - it's breezy and rain is in the air. Collingwood says England are looking to put the Netherlands match behind them, yadda blah etc. Sidebottom is out, Mascarenhas and Pietersen are in. Full team news is imminent.

About 25 minutes to go, so let's ponder what we have ahead of us. England's selection will be fascinating: if Pietersen doesn't play, will they opt for Rob Key again, or go with some power - Napier perhaps? Everything rests on Pietersen
 
Pakistan Salman Butt, Ahmad Shahzad, Kamran Akmal, Younus Khan, Misbah-ul-Haq, Shoaib Malik, Shahid Afridi, yasir Arafat, Umar Gul, Mohammad Amir, Saeed Ajmal
 
tbh happy with the team, jus bring butt lower down the order maybe would be good, bring kami back to the top
 
whats the point of bringing butt lower down the order, it makes no sense

England 1 Ravi Bopara, 2 Luke Wright, 3 Kevin Pietersen, 4 Owais Shah, 5 Paul Collingwood (capt), 6 Dimitri Mascarenhas, 7 James Foster (wk), 8 Adil Rashid, 9 Graeme Swann, 10 Stuart Broad, 11 James Anderson
 
*sallu* said:

agree. The only chance for him hitting boundaries is in the first 6 overs so no need to change his postion.
 
to at least make some use of the PPlays... it sounds stupid, unless they gonna put akmal at 3 again
 
Salman butt giya bhaar may, I want to see Fawad Alam batting for Pakistan.
 
We should bat first and go crazy in the first 6 overs just like last time. Until the collapse we were putting a lot of pressure on india i'd like to see that again... as for the collapse that can happen even if we are playing cautiously

edit: looks like rain's stopped
 
no no im quite sure depending on the target Pakistan will use the powerplays.
If its high then deifintely Butt will be given instructions to go for it
 
Bismilla i rahman ir raheem
May Allah grant Pakistan a victory in this match.
Ameen
 
I don't know why but my 6th sense is saying that Younis or BUTT 1 of them will score will in this match.
