yes indeed

So will Shoaib Actor (brill nickname, I must say) pull out all the stops in front of his home crowd?

Will Kamran Akmal hit another century?

Will Andrew Flintoff stay up late?

Hmm.

 

[yertle-the-turtle]

LOL, I know it's juvenile but this quote on Shoaib's wikipedia talk page made me laugh:

I'm pretty sure Shoaib Akhtar is not a eunuch. There is no source given for the claim so I am removing it. Fkh82

2nd over: With Bell reduced to fiddling with his i-pod up in the stands, super-sub Anderson takes the second over

now that's funny

England pick up some early wickets. It'll be up to Yousuf and Inzi to give Pakistan a chance.

Solid innings by Inzamam there.

Pakistan looked dangerous when Afridi was in with him, but that all came undone.

 

[Axver]

Oh, also, the target of 211 looks low, but I just read England hasn't passed 160 at this ground. This is going to be interesting.

Also, is it just me, or does this look like one of the worst prepared, most pock-marked cricket grounds in the world?

[ibiarain]

look on the bright side atleast england for the 1st time passed 160 on this ground

 

[the rockin edge]

yeah, that really helps

 

[ibiarain]

it was really a good effort bythe england tail....they had us in a bother there at the end but i guess coming baq from 114 for8 was always going to be difficult

Now that Pakistan have won the series, I have a feeling that England will just roll over in the final ODI, while Pakistan will go out there to press their advantage and keep their momentum. I expect it to finish 4-1.

 

[Axver]

Wow, I just looked at the score.

I went to bed at about 8/120 and thought England wouldn't even stagger to 150. Talk about the tail wagging.

 

[the rockin edge]

yeah, our tail is good

i wish the head would bat well

 

[ibiarain]

i wish the head would bat well

thats interesting....whynot try opening with the tail the next time

 

[yertle-the-turtle]

Nice of England to win. Even if it doesn't matter against a weakened side.

Nice to win. Ian Blackwell and Jimmy Anderson to save English cricket? Hmm.

There ends one series, onto another. The India one's going to be even tougher.
