Pakistan vs England | 2nd Twenty20 | Cardiff | 07/09/10 |

Big contest for Pakistan. They badly need to win this match to gain some confidence. Amid all the crisis, today's win will put some smile on the faces back home.

Pakistan looks good and more stronger than England on paper but it is the confidence and belief we are lacking. Hopefully today they will put England back to their place.

Go Pakistan!

 

[Inswinger]

A sticky thread already exists. Will be opened shortly.

 

[Energy]

Afridi or Abdul Razzaq will need to bat at No.3 for any decent Pakistan score its as simple as that.

I apologise. Didn't see the thread.

 

[Leonidos]

Afridi or Abdul Razzaq will need to bat at No.3 for any decent Pakistan score its as simple as that.

What MoYo did wrong at 3? IMO razaq or afridi should come at 4.

 

[Gulf of Gold]

I hope fawad and shahzaid make it count today.........................

Baarish so far guys, pray for relief

 

[Boi]

Think it will get called off due to rain.

Razzler, Afridi and U Akmal have to fire today if we want to give Eng some first class phainty.

Per Cricinfo

5.15pm Greetings, cricket fans, and welcome to ESPNcricinfo's coverage of the second Twenty20 between England and Pakistan in Cardiff. Unfortunately I must start today's commentary off with a decidedly frustrating update: with less than an hour to go until the scheduled start of play, it's hosing down in Cardiff so steady yourself because we might be in for a bit of a delay. And it had been mostly sunny for much of the day until just now!

 

[Radiance Of Australis]

Is it the same stadium?
Please,please..I hope not.

 

[Free Hit]

Is it the same stadium?
Please,please..I hope not.

[imshally81]

so M hafeez is going to replacez fawad today ?

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Let the party begin

 

[adzzy786]

They ThinK England is so much better than Pakistan

 

[imshally81]

is this same pitch ??

 

[TalhaSyed]

I thot this in the last match aswell...what is up with those nasty yellow tops :S

Hate how the commentators are going on and on about how brilliant and unstoppable eng are at T20 and how they supposidly 'dominated the 1st T20' even tho if Akhtar caught that stupid catch its more then likly theyd be 1-0 down!

 

[cricketpassion]

They ThinK England is so much better than Pakistan

We will find out in few hours

 

[iRfaN_LA]

so M hafeez is going to replacez fawad today ?

logically he should. Fawad alam was a pain to watch in the first T20.

 

[TigerJat]

has the team been announced?

any changes

 

[Radiance Of Australis]

I hope pak wins the toss!

 

[adzzy786]

I wish Grame Swann Gets hit for 6 6's By The One and Only

 

[TalhaSyed]

"It was an almost perfect performance" - Nasser Hussain talking about the 1st T20

What the hell are these commentators on about!?!?

 

[Dil Dil Pakistan]

is this same pitch ??

unfortunantly yes

well see what our batting and fielding produces today, i hope we dont get shocker catch drops from our team, i wornt mind if collingwood drops a few ( in my dreams !)

 

[Inswinger]

"It was an almost perfect performance" - Nasser Hussain talking about the 1st T20

What the hell are these commentators on about!?!?

Weren't there 3 dropped catches and a mini collapse by them?

 

[sanakazmi]

yup, hafeez for wahab riaz.

 

[cricketpassion]

"It was an almost perfect performance" - Nasser Hussain talking about the 1st T20

let them enjoy .I think we are still no1 in t20 if we have ranking

 

[Dil Dil Pakistan]

I hope pak wins the toss!

I Hope pakistan win the games, they could atleast do that.

This is going to be the cricinfo headline after tos

"Pakistan win the toss and decided to BET first"

 

[adzzy786]

Toss at 5.40pm and its 5.43pm now lol No toss?

 

[cricketpassion]

Toss .Pakistan has won and elected to Bat

 

[*sallu*]

Toss and team news?

 

[TalhaSyed]

Weren't there 3 dropped catches and a mini collapse by them?

Exactly!

62/5 relying on to drop a catch and catching quite terribly them selves is apparently a near perfect performance

Meanwhile with the over head conditions is batting first the best option?

 

[sanakazmi]

batting first, afridi and razzaq will bat up the order.

 

[Inswinger]

Pakistan win the toss and will bat first. Wow!

 

[bluffmasterv2]

Toss .Pakistan has won and elected to Bat

what whyyy bat first ?

 

[cricketpassion]

Wahab is not playing Hafeez in .good

 

[iRfaN_LA]

yup, hafeez for wahab riaz.

I hope Afridi fixes the batting order today. 12 overs of spin scare me

 

[saajidrox]

bat first? should have fielded

 

[Inswinger]

Riaz out and Hafeez in.

 

[imshally81]

batting first brave decision man

 

[*sallu*]

Decent enough team

Only 2 genuine quickies

Afridi might gamble and open with Hafeez (the bowling that is)

 

[Poison]

Positive decision to bat first.

 

[TalhaSyed]

Riaz out and Hafeez in

 

[saajidrox]

i hope the openers dont do any foolish stuff .

 

[adzzy786]

Boom Boom goin up the order

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

fixer out, crap in.

Dont know what to say lol.

 

[TalhaSyed]

The english commentators are trying to score a one night stand with the irish man by the looks of it
