Another wicket before Pakistan take the lead would be lovely.

Great to come back from meetings to see good things have happened!

Batting averages as captain.

Imran as captain - 48 games, 2408 runs @ 52.3, 187 wickets @ 20.26

What a boss.

Misbah walks off grinning.

 

[NasserFan207]

You'd say thats the match.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

Monty doin' alright then.

 

[smash84]

yeah....pretty much match over for Pak.....

lol @ ppl questioning Monty's inclusion in the side

 

[Pothas]

Right then lets not **** this up. It's lovely to see Monty going so well.

How frustrating is it that we put up with crap spinners for years and now we have two decent ones at the same time?

 

[Z-Man]

So Monty Panesar comes in, I have a gut feeling hes going to perform.

My predictions going pretty well this series.

I agree. I do not rate my team highly.
Take Ajmal out of this test series and we will see..

Pakistan relies heavily on individual performances.

As I said. We need another individual performance to put up a show against England atm and Asad can't do that imo.. Umar is the best choice for these situations..

Hope for the best.

I know - you should have seen some of the comments a few months ago when it was suggested that two spinners might be the way to go on this tour.

Anyway, presumably the Pak middle order will have a swipe sooner or later. I still wouldn't fancy chasing much more than 100.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Could we finish this today? was taking piss earlier but the main bats are all gone and a long tail to come.

 

[smash84]

do Pakistan even look like they can make 170?

My issue was never about picking Monty - it was about 2 spinners.

I can't help thinking that Broad would be a better bet than Anderson right now.

Good to see Monty was logged onto CricketWeb during the tea break.

Indeed. Perhaps someone could suggest that the middle order make some serious runs before the series is out and see if they act on that as well.

Unfortunately only Monty is geeky enough to come onto CW so we're relying on him passing on the message.
