**I couldnt believe my eyes when Rashid dropped that catch. Cricket is a great equalizer aint it?? :( that catch gave away the match to england and Rashid has dropped one of the rare and most important catches of his career.

I wouldn't crucify him for that though. He and Hafeez brought us back into the match in the first place. So, it's all right. But it does go to show as the commentators were suggesting that having a keeper as captain can be tricky.

either way, well played boys. I'm proud of them.

Good game, England. That catch dropped by Latif cost them this game.
:jhanda:

it was a good move to bring Azhar to end the game quickly.

:konfused: So how is Cricket a great equalizer ?

'cause he had some excellent dismissals earlier.

well palyed Boyz,, congrats to England,,

only reason I see was missed catches and Run Out chances...
other wise the team played well and the better team won....
waissay Saby,, you are right , its a rarity when Rashid drops a catch. and unfortunately he dropped one on a crucial moment..

yaar sodi,, cant you just shut upp...

Trethy was simply superb, he kept his cool throughout the whole maytch.

Not to take anything away from Read, the kid played really well under a lot of pressure :k:

Can you guys please stop blaming it on dropped catches/biased umpires/bad conditions etc and admit that England played really well and deserved to win the match.

England ver lucky and a very undeserving win.
I have in the past admitted Pakistan’s loss to different teams but this was a very biased officiating match, even if you take out all the drop catches, everything was done against Pakistan.

2 LBW appeals were turned down which should have been out, 1 catch which was cleanly caught by Younis Khan was not given out.

Very biased umpiring, and once again Pakistan is the hunted.

Anyways, good batting from Trescothick but he didn’t even a deserve a century, he was dropped 3 times :eek:, and was missed on a run out twice.

Anways, not dissappointed in Pak’s performance, we batted well and cameback with the bowlers. But fielding was horrible and thats why we lost today.

Ayeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, what a thrilling match!!
Mazzah aa geya :k: :k:

:hula:

what cool?

three lives, some more courtesy of the two other non-batting members of the English team. immune to lbw decisions. and he was playing cool, yeah right.

I say we should summon Shakoor Rana to officiate in the matches next time England come visiting. give 'em a taste of their own medicine.

England won on pure luck!..not to mention shiithole umpires who refused to raise the finger even though it was clearly out!
The english commentators were surprised themselves when a few decisions were not given!
Overall a game spoilt by bad umpiring and pak not being able to grab opportunities!

maza os waqt aata hia yar jab banda jeet raha hia..

umair i agreee he doenst deserve the century.. itna chance milay to Afridi bhi 20 balls main century banalay :mad:
