[Deewana Mastana]

I called Salman a liar because he didnt own up to the accusations in the first place - Raja

 

[cricketpassion]

Haha Ramiz calling Butt Lier again .Good

 

[Markhor]

Nasser:The silence from the camp has been deafening.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Whos the presenter ? No David Gower today.

I dont think Gower commentates in T20's!

 

[bhakkar]

[Noork85]

[iHammad]

he main cover is off the field and Shahid Afridi is bounding around the pitch excitedly, talking with coach Waqar and the umpires. There is a brilliant energy about Shahid. Huzzah!

 

[chui_kadoo]

I wonder who will open the bowling with Akther today

 

[Noork85]

Good warm ups by England out there

 

[iHammad]

Rameez is speaking sense here.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Probably Wahab if he plays...

 

[IAJ]

Whos the presenter ? No David Gower today.

Ian Ward, good man.

 

[Poison]

Aamer Sohail looks p*ssed hahaha.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Rameez is speaking sense here.

Hussain agrees fully with him!

 

[Markhor]

) And now we move on to England !

I've never seen a home side so overshadowed like this ! Such is the presence of the Markhors.

 

[saajidrox]

i remember a quote which rameez raja said during the t20 wc in WI " pakistan are best when they have controversies in the dressing room"

 

[Markhor]

Hussain agrees fully with him!

My roza is really getting to me !

 

[Momo]

he main cover is off the field and Shahid Afridi is bounding around the pitch excitedly, talking with coach Waqar and the umpires. There is a brilliant energy about Shahid. Huzzah!

Shahid is energy, to be precise.

 

[Noork85]

[chui_kadoo]

Probably Wahab if he plays...

If wahab plays who will he replace

 

[zainkhan]

Wasalaam Shally!

I liked one thing about the cricket scandal timing that, cricket is still continue and if Pakistan is winning it gonna be good, specially in t20 pak is against champion ,,,,,,,,,,hmmmmmmmm

 

[KingKhanWC]

I wish someone would sting Rameez, a big fat wasp would be nice.

Any team news?

[Markhor]

Shahid is energy, to be precise.

[Markhor]

whats Markhors?

The Markhor is the National Animal of Pakistan

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Why?

Because they want to focus on England now!

 

[kingusama92]

Why?

They need more time getting things ready - camera crew and mic I would guess?

 

[Kashif_nazir]

2.30pm Another update, the toss has been delayed by 10 minutes but don't worry folks, it won't affect the start time.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Bopara looks to have lost a bit of weight

 

[*sallu*]

So we're still starting at 3
That can't be bad

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Ok so how many have bought today's NOTW?

 

[chui_kadoo]

Why?

LOL! I just got my copy now! Will flick through it later, just seen the Yasir Hameed pics and read that he was sipping "white wine" while talking to them guys - I had a feeling as it was a wine glass and looked like wine to me when I saw the clips last night even!
