TMS on BBC sports started the first thread of this Test Series as "Lords Test: A Complete DRAW"

i think they were absolutely spot on, untill & unless pakistani batsman makes a fool out of themselves

bring Kaneria on!

Yep I echo that thought. I think we need to start boring cricket now. Kaneria at one end and the rest should bowl short spells with men on the offside wide outside off.

Dont forget we are more than capable of doing that.
 
taufell should be stripped of his 2 best umpire of the year awards... he's becoming more & more like the shitty david shepard as he gets more awards...
 
For those who applaud Collingwood, please stop.

For those who think Pak is going to bat today, please stop.

For those who think Afridi is going get a wicket today, please stop.

For those who think cricket umpiring is ever gonna get better and unbiased, please stop.
 
Pitch and conditions have provided plenty of assistance for the bowlers, but if you bowl rubbish helpful conditions or not you'll get punished and that's what's happened at the start of both days.

Of course catching needs no further mention!
 
How do you guys think we will do on this wicket ? I think our openers, MoYo and Faisal will struggle with the bounce Harmy will get. With added pressure of a massive total I reckon we will struggle big time if the openers go quickly.

He was dropped once before his ton, it was a top knock regardless. I don't think many people make flawless tons these days.

The "dismissal that never was" however was lucky. He's still only had a couple of let offs though, I think you can allow him that.
 
they gonna make 600 at this rate...damn...our bowling has been terrible ..and sami will never improve..ever!!..
 
Considering England A plunered our attack I guess its no surprise we are getting slaughtered. We have a spinner who is fast developing a strike rate of 50 overs per wicket instead of 50 deliveries per wicket.
 
Its wait and see - there isnt much in the pitch but have we bowled that bad ? I think man for man, Pak batters are better than England - this will be put to the test tomorrow - for the moment Inzi is too negative for my liking but then he can see some ground realities that we cant.
 
we need to trigger a collapse, but none of our bowlers seem good enough!!
 
407-4

If England make 500+, it'll be pretty damn hard to lose for them, unless there is a spectacular collapse.

no i don't think we've bowled too badly. If we'd taken our chances, and if the decisions had gone our way, it could've been a different story.
 
Barring miracle we could easily be looking at 600 as our defecit when we come out to bat for our first innings effectively taking away any chance of winning this match for us. I however keep my fingers crossed that we will pull a multan here of sorts
 
overall weve bowled ok, if only we took our chances and if the umpires gave us a few decisions our way we would have bowled england out by now
 
I think conditions are not such that we will see quick wickets - I believe we had the best of conditions before lunch yesterday - who knows how we would have fared during the same time.

More I look at this - more I am convinced that Pak will bat well atleast well enough in 1 of the innings to ensure a draw
 
Sami and Gul have bowled badly first up on both days, yesterday we managed to recover though our failure to build on it was more down to the fielding.

Bowling has been reasonable overall taking away the first 30-40 minutes of both days.
 
I called that as too high.. but I guess Bell isn't that tall.

You'd probably want that one, given the luck Pakistan have had so far.

at this kind of attack even Hoggard can put up double century like Gillespie done agains Bangladesh ,(I agree that pakistan current attack is slighly better than bangladesh but Hoggard is also better than gillespie so that could be in the card)

was it out i didnt see it?? or did it hit his bat or ??

If hawkeye was on then I missed it but it certainly didn't hit his bat.
 
Taufel thought it was an inside edge, though it was probably a tad high too
 
Gotta keep ur heads up through think or thin, it's admirable stuff from Abdul
 
Well I agree that Pakistan has a better bating than England but England bowling far more better than our below average bowling so I can say for sure a follow on.
MARK MY WORDS
 
tat was not out...clearly hitting above the role, no way taufell would hav GIVEN THAT OUT considering his presents umpiring...
 
More bad luck for Pak, thick inside edge for 4.

10 mins till lunch.
 
hawkeye showing it as hityting to of middle stump...

for those who are slating our attack and calling it toothless...please look at the facts before making such atrocious comments...facts are that we had the chances..cook, while he was on naught for gods sakes and again when hadnt even reach 50 when danny dropped him...then there was the drop off collongwood straight to akmal...(a regulation catch)...add the massive umpire cock ups and england could easily have been all out for under 250...
so please look at the fact before saying how crap our bowling is...
 
well I can say that our fielding is below first class cricket but our current bowling is not that bad but surely last in the test playing nation cause westindies bowling is far more better than ours currently
 
I think Razzaq has done quite well to be honest.

Ed Joyce is back by the way, looks like he'll be fit for the ODI's.

ru judhing it on pace alone or fact that windies bowling creates so many mnore chances then ours does??? because i tell you our bowlers (who are second string attack) deserve a hell a lot of credit for creating so many chances....
 
Salam guys, oh my!!

Can someone tell me how clear that edge was from Colly that should have been given out?
