A Great performance from the lads, to beat Pakistan and well done to Anderson (English cricket new Hope). I see all the pakistanis are crying.

Where do you see that? That sort of comment will only cause trouble.chris.hinton said:I see all the pakistanis are crying.
Yeah, that's the sort of comment for which you castigate the so-called "terrace" element each time.marc71178 said:Where do you see that? That sort of comment will only cause trouble.

Yeah, it was interesting, only it got a little too interesting at times....(fiery, vulgar, personal attacks...you name it...)Langeveldt said:I wish I was around during the "terrace times"... sounds interesting lol

No but throwing bottles and anything else they can at opposition players on the field is...full_length said:Surprisingly, vandalism and violence are not really the defining/most common characteristics of a cricket crowd in India
He just said it is not the defining characteristic. Isolated incidents in certain grounds have happened over the years, that's no reason to class the entire cricket watching population in India in that category.Rik said:No but throwing bottles and anything else they can at opposition players on the field is...
Sorry, but how many games in a row in the most recent series were interupted?full_length said:

No, it's the most common. That's what I was commenting on.anilramavarma said:He just said it is not the defining characteristic.
Well I should have put it in context, amateurish in the sense that I would not say that they can bowl out sides for scores less then 150. Decent alright.Langeveldt said:England bowling? Amateurish? I think your just a bit bitter, they arent strong, but White Flintoff Giles etc are not Amateurish. They are decent bowlers in their own right...
Alright. Until that happens leave the guy out. You wouldn't persist with a batsman with such an extended bad patch. Its not about trying to hit sixe atm, its about being able to negotiate swing and good line and length on bouncy wickets. Soemthing Afridi is especially not good at.Langeveldt said:And why drop Afridi? He is an awesome bowler against lesser batting attacks, and a fine fielder as well..
Someone just needs to drum it in to Afridi that not every ball need go for six, or just drop him down the order...
They've tried both...and both have failed so far...Langeveldt said:Someone just needs to drum it in to Afridi that not every ball need go for six, or just drop him down the order...
Funny you bring this up after he conceded 63 in 9 overs - havng not seen any of the play I can't comment on accuracy, but surely going at 7 an over means he can't have been that good?Gotchya said:
Some positives from this game; Waqar is among the wickets, and Shoaib is bowling very very accurately, surlely his economy rate has improved manfold over the last two or so years.
