So who were the "seniors" who came under verbal attack from Waqar?
Shoaib and Razzaq?

5.15pm Greetings, cricket fans, and welcome to ESPNcricinfo's coverage of the second Twenty20 between England and Pakistan in Cardiff. Unfortunately I must start today's commentary off with a decidedly frustrating update: with less than an hour to go until the scheduled start of play, it's hosing down in Cardiff so steady yourself because we might be in for a bit of a delay.

Due to periodic showers…the D/L method might be used this evening… ![]()
Re: 2nd T20I Eng vs Pak at Cardiff - Sept 07, 2010
D/L method in a 20 over match.
What next?
Re: 2nd T20I Eng vs Pak at Cardiff - Sept 07, 2010
We might have a twelve-12 or even ten-10
D/L method is heavily loaded in favour of the side batting second as you have all wickets in hand to chase a smaller total
Re: 2nd T20I Eng vs Pak at Cardiff - Sept 07, 2010
So Pakistan should win the toss and elect to field... :D
Re: 2nd T20I Eng vs Pak at Cardiff - Sept 07, 2010
Shahid Afridi called correctly at the toss, and Pakistan will bat first. Afridi reckons there are runs to be had on what he thinks is a good batting surface. There's one change to his team, with Mohammad Hafeez coming in for Wahab Riaz. England, unsurprisingly, will field an unchanged squad. If the home side wins today, they'll set a new record for consecutive wins in Twenty20 internationals.
Pakistan: 1 Shahzaib Hasan, 2 Kamran Akmal (wk), 3 Mohammad Hafeez, 4 Fawad Alam, 5 Mohammad Yousuf, 6 Umar Akmal, 7 Shahid Afridi (capt), 8 Abdul Razzaq, 9 Umar Gul, 10 Saeed Ajmal, 11 Shoaib Akhtar
*England: * 1 Craig Kieswetter, 2 Steve Davies (wk), 3 Ravi Bopara, 4 Paul Collingwood, 5 Eoin Morgan, 6 Luke Wright, 7 Tim Bresnan, 8 Michael Yardy, 9 Graeme Swann, 10 Stuart Broad, 11 Ryan Sidebottom

Re: 2nd T20I Eng vs Pak at Cardiff - Sept 07, 2010
Looking at the ground on TV the weather looks nasty.

A bit of throw away wicket by Kamran...

The bat slipped in his hand.
