Returned after a long gap because I was busy with my university's flood relieve activities!
Atlast Pakistan did win in this series, that too with comprehensive performances from our bowlers and similarly equal unsatisfying performance with bats in hand! Apart from some +vs, one negative aspect to be have great note of is that Alastair Cook, the English opener has shown some sort of form in the second innings of the test played at the Brit Oval, and so the next test starting in 2 days time from the time I am writing this thing, it would be a great test for Pakistani batters to bat on and score heavily to get English into some sorta trouble!
Again even though MoYo have been included but still batting looks bleak and the whole burden is on Moyo. Even if England won the toss and elected to bat first, there's sniff of a chance that Pakistan might replay the same performance they had in England's first inning, and if Pakistan bat first, I personally don't think Pakistan can't post a score more than 250. So lets see how the situation and conditions end up in London that day!

INSHALLAH we will win Lords test and draw the series... just hope for the best. Bowlers are really performing well... we can just pray for our batting line and fielding!
ReplyDeletePakistan should not bat first...I think they wont give a better total.
I do agree with you...Undoubtedly, M.Yousuf has made his presence felt..but we can't depend on just Yousuf. we need a team performance to win this test.
I must appreciate Aamer.. what a talent.Wish he isn't wasted as many cricketers have been in Pakistan..
