England vs Pakistan

[Shaggy]

Apparently it's the first time ever England's 4, 5 and 6 have all gone for ducks, and only about the 4th time it's ever happened to anybody.

Anyone watching this? Is the ball swinging all over the place?

[Shaggy]

I've got it on in the background but haven't been watching much. From what I can gather it's just been brilliant bowling from Amir and Asif.

Yes, it is, the overhead conditions are really aiding Asif particularly, if he was just a touch quicker he'd be unplayable, well he practically is anyway. The number of plays and misses are outlandish. In the last over he was bowling incredibly wide of the crease and still getting away swing. So the ball was shaping in then swinging out, tell you what, I'm glad it's not me facing that bowling.

[Shaggy]

Haha. Great.

I think Pakistan must be relieved they won this toss.

The next wicket is absolutely crucial. If pakistan can get this next wicket within the next hour it will kill england

Unbelievable huh. He is some bowler.

I always miss the fun parts of tests matches

[Buzzo]

Unbelievable huh. He is some bowler.

A frightening talent no doubt... No loose balls at all today.


Oooh.... And thats about the third time he has had Trotts outside edge this morning as well...

[-V-]

Pieterson doesn't look half the player he was a few years ago eh?

[Buzzo]

Its bizarre - he was imperious at the World 20/20, what, 6 months ago but looks well short off confidence in test matches. Hard to know what to say about the batting, all of them look a bit out of touch. Trott ok, but hardly taking the game to them.

[Vermilion]

What a talent this lad is...awesome gift he has.
