its such a pleasue readng about bowling like this..."defeated by a super ball! reminds of our great westindies bowlers

yeah man ....looks like WI lose the art ..

Mohammad Asif to Strauss, OUT, 77.8 mph, cracker! Beauty from Asif! What a bowler! Full, swinging in a fraction before nipping back further, bursting through the gate as Strauss tried to defend, and clipping leg stump! He really deserved that

reminds of tests-long battles between Garner and Keppler Wessells.

there was a time when Garner used to get wessells all the time. wessells did not know what to do with Garner till the fifth test at sydney prolly 1984 when wessells finally scored a 173, fist inings on a pitch dat deteriorated to gave Oz a rare victory in those days

garner made middle stump to outside-off a corridor of hell fuh wessells

nice lil story deh...but I see Wessell finally figured out Garner though. Still we need some mo good fast bowling around the world to exposed em posers

England 67/5 (20.5 ov)

England 139/7 (49.0 ov)

England in a spot of bother

why does pakistan insist on selecting Akmal as keeper when he drops and drop and drops...at the most inopportune times? (off course no dropped-catch is opportune)

Its not my business of course but I could nto help noticing that he dropped Broad today at 132. Broad went on to add 37 more runs to his total and quite a bit more in partnership with Trott.

I could have sworn Pak had solved its problem with the change to Zulquarnin. low and behold after a sterling performance by Zulquar Akmal is back on the side!

well! as I said its not my business!

england 446/10 Braod 169...Trott 184

england has a nice lil side that bats all the way down the line. the only real weak link is dat Finn newbie fella!

a good bowling attack is a good bowling attack that would trouble any side no matter how long the batting is. but it is nice to have a side that bats long like westindies used to be.

especially in helpful conditions Pak has a tremendous bowling side. but Pakistan remains Pakistan a hide and seek side..or jekyll and hide...no one aware of which apsect will show up on any given day.

and it starts off the field with Pak selection. why Akmal at all?
