To Ahmad, you wrote (Wahab is too new and has been too ordinary to be rated as anything but a fluke). Last week he was the another great finding of Pakistans rich heritage of naturally talented fast bowlers. In fact Mohammed Amir is also an ordinary bowler. He has been lucky that he has bowled only in New-Zealand, Australia and now in England throughout his career. Even in this series in England I have noticed he becomes too ordinary whenever conditions eased out and becomes easy pick for the batsman like Broad, Prior. I am worried about his future if he comes across the Asian batsman in Sub-continent conditions. I would love to see him bowl in Pakistan, India and specially in Sri-Lanka. England already have piled more then 340 runs in this inning and you are dreaming about Pakistan win. I will be surprised if Pakistan manage to avoid follow-on.

Bilal, smoldering or not, one needs to be truthful. I am glad to see that you are posting your views instead of list of 11 players that you would like to see in the team. Yes we are little bit jealous of your bowling unit but that is because you unearth good raw talent very often, **but truthfully, Zaheer, Nehra, Praveen and Ishant would habe been a much better bowling unit in these conditions than over hyped pakistani bowling line-up. **Coupled with not so pathetic fielding and awesome firepower of Sehwag, Sachin, Dravid, Laxman and Yuvraj Singh, India would have been on the winning side more often than not. Not for nothing India is number 1 side in the world.
Sehwag would have probably scored few blistering double centuries, Dravid would have played and payed against Finn and Broad till the cow came home and Laxman would have improved his average. And Sachin would have been bored as he can play these bowlers with a stump.
but truthfully, Zaheer, Nehra, Praveen and Ishant would habe been a much better bowling unit in these conditions than over hyped pakistani bowling line-up.
again.. you guys are committing a dumb mistake equating all Indians based on a few cricket crazy posters..
Aashiq.. India beat Eng when we toured them 2-3 yrs ago. We pushed the Aussies to the limit last time in their home. Lost in SA (while ago, cant wait for this yrs series). Drew in SL. Won in NZ. What do you have to say about that? You look really dumb right now don't you?
Zaheer was instrumental in India winning the test series last time in England. I can guarantee you Praveen would be a handful in the swinging conditions of England. Same with Ishant. Not sure about Nehra because he is not fit to play test cricket I think. These are bowler friendly conditions when the clouds are out.
I am taking nothing away from the Pak bowlers. They have been fantastic this summer. As per my last comment.. Aamir is an amazing prospect and I love watching him bowl.
If you stoop to an Indian idiot's level by making such bizarre inaccurate comments.. you become a Pakistani IDIOT.
Aashiq has disappeared from the thread agian hahaha. This is the second time he has made inaccurate retarrrded comments.. and I have destroyed hsi allegation based on pure facts.. and he has vanished.. HAHAHAHAHA.. shameless
