Pakistan vs England ~ First Test ~ Updates ~ Day Two

[Muyazzim Khan]

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.

[zMario]

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.
For those who have a negative attitude, please leave.

[zMario]

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.
Our openers arent MoYo and Faisal... :)))

[Sid100]

well bowled razzaq

[iZeeshan]

ooo that was mighty close...then again Farhat is no Jonty

[Muyazzim Khan]

Our openers arent MoYo and Faisal... :)))

I said our openers along with MoYo and Faisal if you read it properly my friend.

[iZeeshan]

Our openers arent MoYo and Faisal... :)))

he meant to put a comma, give the kid a break..

:29:

[b0wld]

is imran farhat still fielding in the slips

he should be placed where he ca see the butts of the batsman... believe me he catches all the balls that go through the butts

[zMario]

I read it properly, you learn how to write english. You said I think our openers MoYo and Faisal

:)))

[Muyazzim Khan]

I say Cauliflower will get 300!

[zMario]

Haha you edited it now

[Muyazzim Khan]

I read it properly, you learn how to write english. You said

:)))

I guess you have never made a typo then ?

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

no offence to collingwood

you cant say its a been a knock by a top batsmen he a lucky guy

but hes riding his luck so well done to him

[iZeeshan]

I say Cauliflower will get 300!

Quite possible...

:20:

[UJ]

Boycott "I like Robert Key....I'm not ashamed about it...."

[b0wld]

wats the score??

[The_Cricket_Devil]

402-4 after 112 overs

[iZeeshan]

wats the score??

403-4

[Shayan]

more good stuff from Razzaq

[Sid100]

well bowled razzaq

[Billy]

no offence to collingwood

you cant say its a been a knock by a top batsmen he a lucky guy

but hes riding his luck so well done to him


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.

[the Great Khan]

they gonna make 600 at this rate...damn...our bowling has been terrible ..and sami will never improve..ever!!..

[Muyazzim Khan]

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.

[MIG]

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.

[Shayan]

we need to trigger a collapse, but none of our bowlers seem good enough!!

[zMario]

Only Razzaq will be able to trigger the collapse

[Easa]

407-4

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

[Shayan]

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.

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.

[The_Cricket_Devil]

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

[Sid100]

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

[Easa]

Another big shout, not given too high

[MIG]

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

[zMario]

That was out. Taufel is a dork.

[Muhammad]

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.

[Shayan]

another not out, that could've been given.

[iZeeshan]

Simon Toffy aint interested in anything...

[zMario]

I KNEW IT!

That was out!!

[Billy]

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.

[muhammad saad]

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)

[Sid100]

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

[Billy]

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.

[Easa]

409-4

[Muhammad]

Taufel thought it was an inside edge, though it was probably a tad high too

[The_Cricket_Devil]

sigh..when things dont go your way they REALLY don't go your way.

[Easa]

411-4

[Muhammad]

Gotta keep ur heads up through think or thin, it's admirable stuff from Abdul

[Shayan]

412-4, runs coming easily

[zMario]

I feel depressed now :(

[muhammad saad]

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

[Shayan]

more luck for colly, edged to fine leg for 4

[b0wld]

tat was not out...clearly hitting above the role, no way taufell would hav GIVEN THAT OUT considering his presents umpiring...

[Easa]

More bad luck for Pak, thick inside edge for 4.

10 mins till lunch.

[Shayan]

96 partnership

[Shayan]

this session:

27 overs, 108 runs, 1 wicket, run rate of 4

[HAFRIDI]

anyone pick up the sky sports cricket email address?

[muhammad saad]

Congrats for england

[IMMY69]

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...

[HAFRIDI]

Shayan?^

[UJ]

Bell hits a 4 off Kaneria...through mid wicket...100 p'ship

[muhammad saad]

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

[Billy]

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.

[IMMY69]

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

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....

[muhammad saad]

why Immy69 are always regreting my post ,If u dont like one pls shut up!

[Raz]

Salam guys, oh my!!

422-4?!

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

[muhammad saad]

every on the earth can say that our opners bowler are far below average westindies attack

[muhammad saad]

walaikum salam

[Shayan]

cricket@skysports.com

[IMMY69]

why Immy69 are always regreting my post ,If u dont like one pls shut up!

being a newcomer to this site you should know that this is an open discussion cricket forum...which mean if u, i or anyone for that matter disagrees with what someone is saying has an absolute right to comment/reply to it...if someone else had made your comment then i would have replied to their post...

please do not tell me to shut up...its rude and not very nice and betrays your age...

[UJ]

last over before lunch coming up

[Shayan]

farhat on to bowl

[Raz]

Imran Farhat on!!

Come on Immy bro!!

[UJ]

Farhat to bowl it

[muhammad saad]

hey guys u have to admit that pakistan bowling is far below than yesterday

[IMMY69]

Salam guys, oh my!!

422-4?!

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

clear cut....there was noise and a visible deflection...shocking decision really...

[Raz]

Farhat flighting the ball nicely.

[iZeeshan]

Farhat onto bowl. LOL! We have dropped to the ultimate low...

[Shayan]

Lunch: 426-4.

[Raz]

426-4 at the lunch break

[UJ]

Lunch it is

4/426

[Shayan]

I really hope we make loads and loads of runs. hundreds for Butt, Inzi, Yousuf, and Afridi would do nicely.

[ziggy]

As expected, pakistan just don't like to play well in the first test of any series...it's part of woolmers plan..lure the opposition into a false sense of security

[iZeeshan]

So its lunch, 30 mins.

Farhat didn't bowl so poorly, I'd say.

[IMMY69]

hey guys u have to admit that pakistan bowling is far below than yesterday

sami had a nick not given..razaq had a couple of very decnt lbw shouts not given and so did afridi...all in all they have created chances...

also, yday was overcast and much more favourable for bowling, today it sunny and warm and anyone will tell you that lords is a batting paradise (especially on day 2/3) when the sun is shining...so if bowlers, on naked eye, dont look as penetrive as they did yday then judge them in the context of the game...

[zMario]

:( Disappointing

[muhammad saad]

As expected, pakistan just don't like to play well in the first test of any series...it's part of woolmers plan..lure the opposition into a false sense of security
:)))
LOL

[Muhammad]

At least the real reason for Farhat catching like a fish yesterday has been expeosed, he was desperate for a bowl!

[Usman Chadda]

England dominating the entire session. 426/4 in 120 overs is very good going indeed. Collingwood is on course for a double century while Bell has also looked quite good. Pakistan have been ultra flat today, no bowler has impressed and even though Sami got that wicket of Cook, even he looked a little off colour.

England have put themselves in a position from where they can only put more pressure on us. They will be looking to get to about 500 or more, and then inflict damage on Pakistan's batting line-up in the closing stages of the day

[Usman Chadda]

Simon Taufel has been pathetic today. 3 decisions that should have gone Pakistan's way were not given. That Collingwood was quite a simple decision for any umpire, still he didnt give it out

[Easa]

Salam guys, oh my!!

422-4?!

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

It was a clear edge.

[PlanetPakistan]

Salam guys, oh my!!

422-4?!

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

I heard it in my ear!

[spongebob]

this is looking ominous... :31:

[Billy]

Simon Taufel has been pathetic today. 3 decisions that should have gone Pakistan's way were not given. That Collingwood was quite a simple decision for any umpire, still he didnt give it out

Be fair, only one was stone dead.

[HAFRIDI]

thanks Shayan

[iZeeshan]

I hate the fact that everyone misses the fact that the umpires are officiating crap...

[Usman Chadda]

Be fair, only one was stone dead.

The last appeal from Razzaq was also quite dodgy. Collingwood's innings has been full of luck, I have lost count of how many times he has got lucky!

[deviously~fading~away]

Afridi should have said something to Collingwood after he didnt walk but disappointed that he didnt say anything. Afridi has got rubbed for his pitch dance and this could have been Afridi chance to rub it to England.

[HAFRIDI]

im off to Jummah, whoever watches look out for my Q to skysports

[zMario]

LOL Ad for Cricket AM

[Easa]

Haf, Jummah now?

I returned from Jummah a good two hours back! ;)

[zMario]

im off to Jummah, whoever watches look out for my Q to skysports
What is ur question Haf

[Billy]

What's a Jummah when it's at home?

[inzidabest]

Pakistan will battle to survive in this test. Tough luck. I hope it doed not set the trend for the series

[iZeeshan]

I go to Jumaa in 6 hours...

:)

[inzidabest]

Anyone to criticize Umar Guls action?Thats how kids bowl on the streets. People who donot know bowling. That is rubbish action

[inzidabest]

And anyone for Pakistan being 65/5 when they come out to bat today

[wazim87]

Sigh, Pakistan will ahve to comeback again!
If they do, Im making a special DVD "the COmeback Kings"
put the previous comebacks in it too

by the way anyone know when the comeback starts, it may even be a last day thing again ;)

[Raz]

Haf, Jummah now?

I returned from Jummah a good two hours back! ;)

In the UK its about now.

[Easa]

What's a Jummah when it's at home?

Thuhr prayer.

[inzidabest]

Anyone for a tripple hundred by Shahid Afridi

[iZeeshan]

Anyone for a tripple hundred by Shahid Afridi

Nah...more like a triple for Farhat

A hundred for each of his dropped catches :P

[Usman Chadda]

Anyone for a tripple hundred by Shahid Afridi

I hope it happens, and he smashes Collingwood for 36 runs in 1 over!

[shan]

what is the score now?

[iZeeshan]

426/4

And mind you, check www.crapinfo.com

[shan]

426/4

And mind you, check www.crapinfo.com

crapinfo is not working :(

[zMario]

what is the score now?
Don't ask.

[deviously~fading~away]

And anyone for Pakistan being 65/5 when they come out to bat today

Mate the new ball does swing, something Pakistan do not like! And all the posters who predicted 203-3 for Pakistan think this is a flat track but its not.

[shan]

No chance for pakistan now to win the game and very little to draw

[shan]

thank god this is a 4 test series so Pak have better chance to come back is they lose this one.

[Easa]

Players back onto the field.

Gul to bowl

[zMario]

If we can get 6 wickets in the first hour, I give ourselves "a chance"

[Usman Chadda]

It would need only a miracle for Pakistan to win this game. They do have a chance of drawing. Our batting line-up does have the capability to hold-on for days

[Easa]

WIDE signalled, poor ball

[shan]

Pakistan should atleast make 400 runs in first innings

[zMario]

We should've appealed on that first ball, maybe umpire will give it out :)))

[zMario]

Hmmm, I think Gul is trying to use the slope to get inswing to the right hander, so he leaves it and he bowls him. Its what I think of it anyway

[Easa]

Our only success of the day so far

http://usa.cricinfo.com/db/PICTURES/CMS/64400/64401.1.jpg

[shan]

another wide

[Easa]

Good delivery from Gul, had Cauliflower in a bit of a mess

[shan]

How can gul bowl so many wides in Test match?

[UJ]

429/4

[shan]

and a no ball!

[iZeeshan]

Wides and no balls in a test? This many? WOW can't be...even Akhtar and Sami ain't like this

[Easa]

Kaneria on from the other end.

[zMario]

Haha, Gul bowling all over the place, which may be a good thing - he hasn't strayed on the pads yet

[inzidabest]

We should've appealed on that first ball, maybe umpire will give it out :)))
Any reason why Pakistan has started to bowl so negative. Where are the days when even young guys used to bowl great

[zMario]

C'mon Dani Boy!

[zMario]

1 run off the over

[iZeeshan]

You know, I'd die if PakPassion wasn't here during the match...

[Romali_rotti]

Relax boys Kaneria is just about 10-15 runs away from his 100, and once he gets a 100 he usually picks up a wicket ;)..

[Easa]

432-4

[zMario]

Pfff... I feel like calling Woolmer, and telling him to give me the $200 I paid for the series as compensation for this terrible bowling

[Shayan]

435 for 4, commentators saying England won't look to declare for ages.

[Shayan]

the razzaq-afridi bowling combination has looked the most threatening today.

[ali_ed2006]

finally i hear the Pakistan Zindabad chants :)

[zMario]

Oho, the crowds going now... when we're losing. I wonder why the stewarts havent quieted them

[iZeeshan]

We all rate Danish too highly...I can't remember a single moment where he actually, single handedly won us a match. He's really bad, if you ask me.

[shan]

Kaneria and sami are useless

[shan]

550+ on cards

[Shayan]

good ball from Gul, play and a miss. 437-4

[Muyazzim Khan]

Kaneria has bowled 1 maiden in 36 overs, even Gul & Sami have bowled more maidens and have taken a wicket. This pitch is turning yet our 'Warning' man has nothing next to his wickets column. I guess we will have to wait until his 60th over.

[inzidabest]

kuch karo

[Muyazzim Khan]

550+ on cards

More like 600+. Englands highest score V pak on the cards for sure. Plus a Colly triple ton.

[whyhkk]

Kaneria is like Kumble: a bowler who bowls well on spinning tracks or in the second innings

[Amir]

We all rate Danish too highly...I can't remember a single moment where he actually, single handedly won us a match. He's really bad, if you ask me.

No bowler can single handely win you a match, but he has been the center of our attack on many occasions. Such as Karachi v/ Sri Lanka, Jamaica v/ West Indies and Lahore v/ South Africa.

[zMario]

Yay, a maiden

[zMario]

Somethings gotta give , just 11 runs in 7 overs, a big shot or a wicket

[iZeeshan]

Why is everyone so critical of Sami. He hasn't bowled great, but he has bowled fine. Like I said before, what is he supposed to do? Take his own slip catch? Or umpire his own bowling?

[shan]

Two maidens for umar gul in a row WOW

[inzidabest]

Sami was ok. Gul is and was rubbish

[Easa]

England going along at snail's pace.

[zMario]

Maiden for Kaneria :)

[zMario]

Paaakistannn


ZINDAAABADD!

[shan]

Make them play as many overs as posible to get to 600

[zMario]

DANG IT GUL!!

A few more maidens, and 2 more wickets would've fallen!

[iZeeshan]

No bowler can single handely win you a match, but he has been the center of our attack on many occasions. Such as Karachi v/ Sri Lanka, Jamaica v/ West Indies and Lahore v/ South Africa.

But Amir, there have been many times where I saw Shoaib Akhtar and Waqar Younis, and even Mohammad Sami and Asif at times, bring Pakistan back into the match without any help from anybody. Of course there will be others that take wickets, but its not gonna be important. As I saw, no one right now rates Sami's wicket at all.

[Pakistani tigers]

i sense a wicket inshallah! come on boys rally behind the lads...they have given us amazing victories from the jaws of defeat in the recent past!

[zMario]

i sense a wicket inshallah! come on boys rally behind the lads...they have given us amazing victories from the jaws of defeat in the recent past!
We're not at the jaws of defeat. Not yet, anyway

[Easa]

Colly has scored 1 run in the last 8 odd overs after lunch.

[zMario]

Oooo, almost a slower ball in full toss

[iZeeshan]

She paints really well...

[Easa]

Kaneria needs to develop a flipper, agree with Athers

[Easa]

Very optimistic appeal

[Muyazzim Khan]

No bowler can single handely win you a match, but he has been the center of our attack on many occasions. Such as Karachi v/ Sri Lanka, Jamaica v/ West Indies and Lahore v/ South Africa.

Mo Asif on the Sri Lanka tour won the match single handedly. Mushy beat Aussies in Brisbane with 12 wickets in the match and countless others do around the world.

Apart from the 3rd inns of a match where Kaneria averages 23, his 1st,2nd,4th inns averages are 30 + runs per wicket. His fourth inns stats are pathetic, only 14 wickets @33.50. All the pre series hype he gets before every series makes me laugh.

[zMario]

That was out. We hate you Bucknor!!

[iZeeshan]

Come on Kaneria, just 7 more runs.

[Easa]

Yet another maiden... England have slowed down after lunch.

[zMario]

Wow, yet another maiden!

[Easa]

That was out. We hate you Bucknor!!

:20:

[Easa]

439-4

[Easa]

Colly 185*, Bell 47*

[whyhkk]

I do wonder why does he get so much hype
His average is as good as Afridi's

[zMario]

You know Easa, maybe our bowling has become better after lunch, and it's not England's decision to bat more slowly

[Billy]

I do wonder why does he get so much hype
His average is as good as Afridi's

Who?

[Easa]

You know Easa, maybe our bowling has become better after lunch, and it's not England's decision to bat more slowly

They have not even TRIED to attack one ball since the resumption

[Muyazzim Khan]

Bell is doing the right thing he is biding his time to get to fifty likewise Collingwood for his double ton. When they reach their landmark they will step on the gas again. I think pea brain Farhat should watch and learn.

[Easa]

Who?

Kaneria

[pak4life]

14 wides in a test match not impressive

[inzidabest]

come on wicket now. They should have bowled like this right from the start

[iZeeshan]

No such thing as better bowling when there is no wicket

[Easa]

Bell is doing the right thing he is biding his time to get to fifty likewise Collingwood for his double ton. When they reach their landmark they will step on the gas again. I think pea brain Farhat should watch and learn.

No need for that

[Muyazzim Khan]

Who?

Kaneria the bowler with a strike rate of 60 OVERS not deliveries.

[whyhkk]

Who?

Kaneria = 31.5
Afridi = 32.5

[zMario]

Well, maybe they're respecting the bowling Easa. Geez :)))

[Easa]

14 wides, 14 no balls, byes.

36 extras

[Billy]

Kaneria = 31.5
Afridi = 32.5

He's only young for a leggie, he'll get better.

[zMario]

I'm gonna laugh if Kaneria gets a wicket with that thing on his thumb

[INZItheman]

The state of this bowling is making me cry! :6: :6: :6:

[Muyazzim Khan]

No need for that

I said that because he throws his wicket away with a silly shot when he seems to be comfortable at the crease. His gets out at bad times for the team and himself such as an over before lunch,tea or close of play.

[Shayan]

great ball

[Easa]

OUT!

Beautiful delivery

[whyhkk]

yes stumped out Kaneria gets Colly

[zMario]

BOWLED!!

Yeah!

[Shayan]

I'm gonna laugh if Kaneria gets a wicket with that thing on his thumb


laugh!

[zMario]

Or wait is he stumped?

[Sultan Yusuf]

Come on Cauli and ghanti - hit danish for two boundaries and we can finally pick up another wicket!

[Easa]

Colly goes for 186, well played SIR.

Kaneria - great delivery, great stumping

[zMario]

laugh!
Ok. :))) :))) :)))

[Shayan]

lets finish things off quickly now, under 500 would be great

[Billy]

It'll be interesting to see how much England make now.

Not too many more I should.. although you never know. Bell may yet make a ton.

[iZeeshan]

And our Kanny bhai picks up a wicket...

I am too stunned to say anything *clap clap*

[Easa]

Stumped, lured him with flight, dragged him out of the crease, classic leg spinners dismissal

[zMario]

Now we gotta get em all out before they get 500

[Sultan Yusuf]

right on cue!!!

[inzidabest]

GONE!!!! Ha ha Ha

[Easa]

441-5

[Shayan]

441-5, i think Danish will finish things off quickly

[Easa]

Wicket maiden, well bowled

[Muyazzim Khan]

He's only young for a leggie, he'll get better.

If you compare him to good bowlers forget legends like Warne or Murali he is steady at best. I find it silly the hype he gets as if he is the ultimate threat Pakistan pose to opponents. He should be recognised for what he is, just steady spinner.

[iZeeshan]

Btw, I am surprised Bucknor/Tauful didn't object...

[Tupac]

brilliant bowling danish!

[zMario]

Wicket maiden, well bowled
I told you it was our brilliant bowling that made them bat slow!

[Shayan]

Razzaq should come on instead of Gul

[whyhkk]

not bad Kaneria got his first wicket before 100 (@93)

[zMario]

Btw, I am surprised Bucknor/Tauful didn't object...
They didn't think they would get him out

[iZeeshan]

Maybe we can get a session to bat...no...drop catches and bad desicions are on their way

[Shayan]

2 to Bell, moves on to 49

[Shayan]

443-5

[Osman]

regardless of a flat pitch or not pakistan should look to clean up Englands lower order and tail quickly.

[Osman]

Razzaq should come on instead of Gul

very true

[Shayan]

not that anyone cares i guess.... .but both Collingwood and Bell are in my fantasy cricket team. I only left out Cook at the last minute as well!

[iZeeshan]

This is the time to take a wicket, or Jones will get set in and they'll get another 100 partnership

[Easa]

Bell made to wait on 49

[zMario]

kk keep Kaneria on this end, put Razzaq on the other :)

[Easa]

13 overs, 17 runs in this session.

[Shayan]

4 to Jones, straight off Kaneria

[inzidabest]

Shahid will hit a tripple.

[Easa]

4444

[Easa]

13.2 overs, 21 runs.

Runrate of less than 2.

[Shayan]

geraint jones has played 45 innings without getting a duck. new record.

[iZeeshan]

not that anyone cares i guess.... .but both Collingwood and Bell are in my fantasy cricket team. I only left out Cook at the last minute as well!

your fantasy takes precedence over your real life team?

[Easa]

Jones sets a new record, 45 innings without a duck.

[Shayan]

your fantasy takes precedence over your real life team?


no.

[Muyazzim Khan]

Its not a forgone conclusion that we will blow the tail away. If you recall both Jones and Plunkett have hit 50s against us before.

[iZeeshan]

Stupid commentators forget that he was dropped and badly officiated.

[zMario]

I bet Kamran hasn't got out for duck yet in tests

[Shayan]

Botham just can't resist mentioning the Ashes!!
