Re: 2nd Test, England vs Pakistan, 27th-31st July

18 of 19 wickets have gone to Harmison and Monty.

Re: 2nd Test, England vs Pakistan, 27th-31st July

The first ten-wicket haul at Old Trafford for 50 years - the last man was none other than Jim Laker

Re: 2nd Test, England vs Pakistan, 27th-31st July

Monty takes a 5-fer and we did not play Mushtaq since Warne didnt succeed here. Dumba$$e$

Re: 2nd Test, England vs Pakistan, 27th-31st July

Prior to this match we had never lost at Old Trafford and now we have done it in style.

Re: 2nd Test, England vs Pakistan, 27th-31st July

Monty also needs one more wicket to take 10 wickets in this test mtach.

Hi every one, not a good day to jump in the GupShup Forum

Re: 2nd Test, England vs Pakistan, 27th-31st July

so it was you who has caused all this, when we were expecting a fightback :smilestar:

Re: 2nd Test, England vs Pakistan, 27th-31st July

Easy man. Just becuase 'a' spinner succeeds, doesn't mean 'all' spinners will succeed on a given pitch. Kaneria and Afridi didn't. Why make our attack even more monotonous by including Mushy in too.

Besides, spinners' success especially depends on the match situation. After getting out for 119, we were never in a position to go on all attack with men around the bat and not caring about the runs. Monty enjoyed Pakistan being on the defensive in both innings :-)

Re: 2nd Test, England vs Pakistan, 27th-31st July

If Dani can play a maiden from Monty, our premier batsmen should have done so too :grumpy:

Re: 2nd Test, England vs Pakistan, 27th-31st July

Mujhe toh kushi hai monty ko dus wicketah nahi mili...actually mein toh kaafi achai mood mai hu.

Re: 2nd Test, England vs Pakistan, 27th-31st July

Yeah that is it and I take the blame because all of our stars have done brillently

Re: 2nd Test, England vs Pakistan, 27th-31st July

Pakistan lost by innings and 120 runs

Re: 2nd Test, England vs Pakistan, 27th-31st July


I can assure you, even playing Samiullah Niazi would have provided us with a much better attack, any bowler replacing Sami means a positive sign!

Re: 2nd Test, England vs Pakistan, 27th-31st July

All over...

Eng - Pak 1-0

Re: 2nd Test, England vs Pakistan, 27th-31st July

67.1 Harmison to Abdul Razzaq, OUT, and that's the victory! Another short ball, a swirling top-edge. Jones with the gloves calls for it and hurtles forward, clutches it well, and flings it high into the air to spark the celebrations!

**
Abdul Razzaq c Jones b Harmison 13 (41b 2x4 0x6) sr: 31.70**

Re: 2nd Test, England vs Pakistan, 27th-31st July

Next Test, If both Umar Gul and Sami aren't replaced I'll be surprised. If Kamran isn't back in his usual spot, I'll be surprised, if Butt isn't back I'll be surprised, If one of Afridi or Razzaq isn't dropped, I'll be surprised.
