*Official* Pakistan in England 2010

[Pothas]

Carberry got to still be ahead of him at the moment.

Lyth has had an excellent season but Carberry was already in the frame and is in fantastic form, two consecutive hundreds an unbeaten fifty so far today.

I guess it depends on whether the selectors decide Lyth being the younger player has more of a future than Carberry.To be honest wouldn't mind either coming in for Cook.He needs a break like Strauss and Bell did before him and they came back better for it so hopefully the same will apply with Cook.Send him to a beach in the sun for a fortnight and forget cricket entirely.

Trott's going to have a massive series this winter.

You can't expect the bowling attack to fire every single time...nevertheless...hoping to see Mohammad Yousuf in the next test...i doubt Pak will win but certainly a much needed muscle in the middle....

What's the update with Umar Gul...he batted but i don't know if it was with a runner....

 

[King Pietersen]

He had a runner last night, and this morning. The commentators mentioned something about him being out for the rest of the series.

 

[Burgey]

Backing a tie here..

 

[Jayzamann]

Would be more worried if it was Amir or Asif, tbh.

 

[GIMH]

One more win, then a draw, and we officially prove what everyone already knows: England are better than Australia.

He is?

This the same Trott who averaged 27 in SA last summer?

 

[Avada Kedavra]

Disappointed...expected Pak bowlers to make a match of it but I suppose they can't do the job every innings.Well played Eng.

 

[Avada Kedavra]

It is ok to average 27 at home

 

[Jarquis]

Which is relevant how? Unless you're trying to say he can only score runs between April-September.
Or something equally as stupid.

Until we demonstrate that the ranking system is deeply flawed over the summer. I'll give you the prediction now - 5-0 Australia.

No just that he is going to battle on harder pitches against better quickies.

 

[grecian]

*yawns* Broads a girl, and England are South Africa A, Get new material guys, seriously.

Anyway, competent enough performance, a bit slack in a couple of sessions.

Trott to open next match and Hildreth to come in, this is the only way to go, surely?

Yes, those Australian minefields! And the same quicks he made a ton on debut against?

Time will tell who is right.

 

[Matt79]

****, I think I'm starting to look like Greig as he appears in that photo. I'm never leaving the house again!

 

[social]

I see in Andy Flower a man with a lot more rationality, reason and foresight than Hilditch, so you never know.

This

Then again, the same thing applies to my 4yo so it's not much of a wrap
