anyways a line n length bowler..the way hes got thrashed in ODI's seams another irfan pathan in making..the rest are not worth commenting.

M Asif has an econmy rate of less than 4 runs/ over in ODIs......hardly a thrashing!!

iZeeshan · Jul 8, 2006

Isn't there something to worry about here? Inzi and Yousuf gone for 0? Surely even Solanki would do better.

When was the last time Pathan ran through a batting lineup in test matches (please leave Zimbabwe and Bangladesh out of this).

from wat I have seen ,hes not impressed me as a ODI bowler..he looks clueless when batsmen go after him....The trouble is if he looses more pace.... will wait couple of series before judging him though!

this is a joke o what? Asif, Rana and Gul all can get into the Indian side without any competion apart from Munaf wich is doing just good at the moment.

well you clearly then don't rate your own batting line up either!

Toony™® · Jul 8, 2006

i am not worried about yousef...but more worried about inzy since england tour - he has been going downhill.. could be his lower back or it could be his powers are beginning to wane.

whatever it is...a off form batting inzy is no good for the team.

Azam6380 · Jul 8, 2006

6 for Faisal!

J-Essence · Jul 8, 2006

are there any live audio or video on the net for this game....plz plz plz answer

Farah · Jul 8, 2006

Asif has only played 12 ODI's >

Career economy > 3.99

v Ind 7 matches > 4.43 (thrashing? ::J

)
v SL 3 matches > 3.89
v Eng 1 match > 2.00

I know wat you sayin,but remember even pathan managed a hatrick on the very same pitch!
Gotta leave now,

satuday night u see,time to get high

Same pitch where a Pak batting line up broke a world record and your team lost by over 300 runs too.

J-Essence · Jul 8, 2006

Asif has already ran through two line-ups (which are not Zimbabwe and Bangladesh).

Hash · Jul 8, 2006

kamran gone as well!

AHAHAH

This is hilarious what the hell are we doing?!?!?!

Usman Chadda · Jul 8, 2006

Akmal gone aswell

Loudon cleans him up. Not looking good for Pakistan at the moment.

Pakistan 207/6 in 59.1 overs

Faisal 75*

Has · Jul 8, 2006

At least our batsman will get a second chance!

Has · Jul 8, 2006

Well done to Faisal Iqbal, I think he has done enough to be given the number 6 spot over Afridi.

sehban · Jul 8, 2006

seriously what are we doing...we are in a big mess at the moment

Has · Jul 8, 2006

UsmanCHADDA said:

Hash · Jul 8, 2006

To be honest I am not worried.

The main reason for us being 207 for 6 is that both Inzi and Yousuf got ducks. That does not happen very often and will not happen for a long time. Both are experienced cricketers who have played in England before and Inzi, more often than not, comes good when it matters (I have no doubt he will do so again).

It is more important for guys like Farhat, Butt, Faisal, Malik and Kamran to get time batting out there. All have done so (though Kamran failed in this innings). We will be ready by Thursday and England will not know what has hit them.

Daoud · Jul 8, 2006

If we're bound to have a batting collapse, better get it done and over with before the series starts. Otherwise...

Has said:

how so?

Has · Jul 8, 2006

Im sure we will be much more on the ball come Thursday, no need to read too much into this, openers have got some runs in the last 2 games which is a very good sign, and the others have all got some runs since they have been here, would have been nice for Inzi to get some runs before the first test, maybe he can do it in the second innings.

Has · Jul 8, 2006

Hash said:

Because he is on better form.

Iqbal is in better form than Afridi on the basis of two county matches. Now I've heard it all. :))

Disco_Lemonade · Jul 8, 2006

sum1 named denis lille said 2 years back.... never get fooled by pakistan's perfomance in practice matches

Usman Chadda · Jul 8, 2006

Dalrymple continuing on from where he left against Sri Lanka. Three big wickets might just be the ticket to the first test.

JWM Dalrymple 19 overs, 7 maidens, 45 runs and 3 big wickets. All that with an economy rate of just 2.36!

Geordie Ahmed · Jul 8, 2006

I cudnt care less how we do in these practice matches, aslong as our main players dont get injured

Now I would be mad if someone stood on Asif's hand...

HAFRIDI said:
Of course i hope they do but i think they will take Afridi's form into account. If memory serves me right i think Faisal did well in the last game

Where are u gone Easa and Afridi_Fan ; )

Faisal is an almost certain ahead of Afridi at Lords

If they play Faisal instead of Afridi and play Razzaq as the 3rd seamer that would pretty much be handing England the 1st test

Has · Jul 8, 2006

Iqbal is showing signs of developing into a genuine test match batman, that 139 against India and the 60 against Sri Lanka were important innings and showed he is maturing as a batsman.

He has hit the ground running since we arrived in England, 40 not out against Leicestershire and the current 75 not out when the rest of our batting is crumbling compare favourably against Afridi’s failures against Scotland and Leicestershire.

Now don’t get me wrong, I’m no Afridi hatter like many on here, but at the moment I feel we would be better off with Faisal Iqbal at number 6. I think you have to take most recent form into account and while Afridi is in a mini slump Iqbal seems to be on the up, he should be given the chance to capitalise on this momentum.

although i agree with a afridi part but i dont quiet agree with the razzaq part..due to the fact that if pak doe not play razzaq we have awfully long tail 7 our battings becomes really weak..also some of our batsmen are not in really good form if you see the last 2 series pak has played including inzy..so our batting will be really weak if we dont play razzaq as a third seamer
our bowling is till pretty gud with asif,sami,razzaq,kaneria,afridi,malik
afridi will be a key factor especially with his bowling

Daoud said:

Yeah, im not in favour of it of course me being a massive Afridi fan and even so he doesnt deserve to be dropped as he's been one of our top batsmen in tests. However i do think they will drop him for the first test !

Usman Chadda · Jul 8, 2006

Sami strikes his second boundary! Moves onto 14

Pakistan 227/6 in 67 overs

Sami 14* (29b)
Faisal 81* (145b)

Nauman · Jul 8, 2006

Well if Faisal Iqbal gets his century today then it would be very difficult to drop him.

Usman Chadda · Jul 8, 2006

HAFRIDI said:

I am really surprised how Broad scored a half century. I mean he has a First-Class highest score of 31!

Nauman said:

Yet it is very easy to drop someone who in his last 10 tests has scored 3 centuries and 4 fifties (plus a bowling average of 32 in same period)? :20:

Nauman said:

He is gone now

Dalrymple gets another one! His fourth wicket

Good innings by Faisal c Bopara b Dalrymple 82 (223b)

Has · Jul 8, 2006

Playing Faisal Iqbal at 6 would also give more scope for dropping Razzaq and putting out a pace attack off Mohammad Asif, Umar Gul and Mohammad Sami.

embarassing how we cant even make half of the runs they made...

Usman Chadda · Jul 8, 2006

Hopefully Sami can do a Read now

PlanetPakistan · Jul 8, 2006

Sid100 · Jul 8, 2006

Im not too concerned, it looks like we'll be following on

Its a good test to see if our batsman can save the match and deal with pressure and get some batting practice.

we should be able to bat out about 100 overs(about 10 left today and 90 tomorrow)

KaSaNoVa_G · Jul 8, 2006

how comes Mo Asif aint batting ? they said his " absent hurt" whats wrong with him ??

i wonder how many loud mouthed arogant pakistani fans are crowing now how easy pakistan will win series 4-0

am sure there a quite a few slapped faces about!

Sid100 · Jul 8, 2006

good test for our openers to survive the next 20mins or so without taking risks. Its all good practice

Azam6380 · Jul 8, 2006

Easa · Jul 8, 2006

Amjid bro, just a practice game.

Last year, ESSEX piled on the runs against Australia, 500 in one day. Cook made a 200.

That doesn't make Australia a bad side.
