4th One Day International

[Barrel of Fun]

Pakistan have stumbled slightly to 138/5. England must finish off the lower order as soon as possible.

Pick of the bowlers so far.......Mr A Flintoff.

 

[JJ McClure]

Couple of quick wickets, 174-7

 

[Barrel of Fun]

WICKET PAKISTAN 174-6 (Afridi 34)
Plunkett beats Afridi with a tempter outside off-stump. Inzamam looks upset not to have made the most of a short one, pulling it away for just a single. Afridi is then castled by Plunkett, attempting an ugly leg-side hoik.

41st over: WICKET PAKISTAN 174-7 (Razzaq 0)
The dangerous Razzaq is cleaned-up by a wicked, in-swinging yorker from Plunkett first up.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

210 All out. Now lets chase the target and not capitulate, as we have done in the past two games.

 

[Pavilionaire]

Great job by the bowlers, good mix of economy and strike bowling. Hopefully Strauss and or Collingwood will steer the ship home from here.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

13/1 Prior is out

Rana Strikes.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Strauss is out.

Rana on a hatrick......

 

[Withdean Wanderer]

Won't be seeing much of Rana this summer then

However, at least we should still have Mushy.

 

[Pavilionaire]

Solanki out, 30-3, we've got to stop losing our vickets.

 

[JJ McClure]

Cracking start to our reply

 

[Pavilionaire]

57-3 off 11 overs, all overs bowled by Rana and Akhtar so Pakistan gambling on getting another vicket. Key part of match now.

 

[CHAPPERS]

70/4

15.3 Arshad Khan to Trescothick, OUT: arm ball, came in with the arm
tries to cut it, mised it and ball hit the off stump, Arshad Khan
strike in his very first over!

 

[Barrel of Fun]

77/5

piss poor . . .but as most of the better players have feigned injury to get homne in plenty of time for christmas its hardly suprising

 

[Scoffers]

Freddie needs to get a century for us to have a chance in winning this. What the hell happened to Bell, he was picked, and then substituted for Anderson, that worked well then !!!

They should get rid of this stupid rule once and for all. Why try and fix something that isn't broken

 

[CHAPPERS]

Having heard what the players have been doing in Pakistan I'm not actually that surprised at these performances anymore. They've been confined to their hotels for the large majority of the time.

 

[zefarelly]

agreed barel. pick a team and play it. end of.

I agree, it's farcical, in what other team sport in the world do you get picked to play, and then get substituted before the game actually begins !

 

[zefarelly]

freddies hit the bar.
