Re: Pak V England - First test Match

England are more susceptible to be panic stricken than Pakistan if a couple of wickets fall down in quick succession. They are especially nervous about plaing Kaneria and AFridi, while we didnt have much trouble playing Panesar. So if Sami and Gul can somehow get a couple of wickets, we are in a good position to unleash Kaneria on them.

Sami is being rubbish. I didn't see this coming.

Re: Pak V England - First test Match

Same Sami in the 2nd innings. Short and wide.

743

Re: Pak V England - First test Match

Not only that, short and wide, either side of the batsman, alternately. This is why I say, it doesn't matter how many wickets he may get on his good day, a bowler that bowls on both sides of the batsman in nearly every over is absolutely rubbish!

Re: Pak V England - First test Match

Strauss sends a short-and-very-wide (not just wide) christmas gift to point boundry. Even England batsman know which bowler to go after when chasing widish deliveries.

745

Re: Pak V England - First test Match

Sami as usuall starts of with a trash over and got hit for a boundry and as usuall gets hit for another boundry in his 2nd over…:rolleyes: seriously…is this all we got for fast bowlers in Pakistan after Rana, Shoaib, and Asif?

746

Re: Pak V England - First test Match

Getting hit is okay, every bowler gets hit. But bowling MULTIPLE lollypop deliveries in every over is not okay. The way Sami bowls, even Afridi786 would hit a couple of fours in every over facing him. And that is saying something.

747

Re: Pak V England - First test Match

Shoaib is fit already, but PCB wants him to get some 'match practice' first. i wish we could play him in the second test match. Asif is not going to be available for any of the tests, and Rana Naveed hasn't been too successful in tests either.

^ :rotfl: :hehe: :rotfl: jokes aside, I hope Niazi or Nazir get a chance in the 2nd test match…they cant do any worse than Sami. Plus Nazir can bat a bit as well…certainly better than Sami.

Re: Pak V England - First test Match

Sami is making sure the England batsmen enjoy their stay at the crease. When our bowlers aren't bowling 4 balls, they're dishing out no balls. :o

I thought I would never say this, but bring on Rao.

Re: Pak V England - First test Match

Yep, Sami should not be included in the team himself, but should be used as a standard to judge whether a new bowler should be included in the team. Question should be, can this new bowler be worse than Sami? If the answer is no, bring him in!

751

Re: Pak V England - First test Match

I agree with Nasser Hussain's suggestion. Sami is better bowling his aggressive stuff. With new ball, we have more chances of ball being nicked, so bring your line and length bower (Razzaq) to bowl the new ball, and let Sami bowl next.

752

Re: Pak V England - First test Match

Commentators are absolutely right. With the wicket causing balls to die down, why aren't the bowlers aiming for the stump?? A ball outside off stump which doesn't bounce isn't exactly threatening to the batsman.

Re: Pak V England - First test Match

I think Sami could make good career by acting in bollywood movies as a villian...the one who kidnaps innocent girls....because he can forget about bowling career...or maybe he can become a coach...a coach who tells bowlers...this is NOT how you're supposed to bowl if you are to become a successfull bowler.

754

Re: Pak V England - First test Match

Neither line nor length is right from Sami. Not a single ball on target so far.

755

Re: Pak V England - First test Match

By the time Kaneria and Afridi come to bowl, Sami would have given 60 runs in 10 odd overs and Inzi will set a defensive field so pressure will not be on England. :smiley:

756

Re: Pak V England - First test Match

If only we had Akhtar, Asif and Rana with this new ball. If only..........

757

Re: Pak V England - First test Match

Our bowilng in this match feels like India's bowling three years ago. Just going through the motions, there's nothing aggressive or entertaining about it. Sigh.

758

Re: Pak V England - First test Match

and another choka by strauss to Sami…:smack:

759

Re: Pak V England - First test Match

^ The Indians at least know their limitations and stick to a consistent line and length. That feat seems beyond our current lot.

This is the flattest and most toothless pace attack from Pakistan I've seen in a long time.
