They are playing well too. :k: not just lucky
England must've begged Pakistan to lose this match on purpose. Pakistan looked so good in the last game, that there's absolutely no way they'd be losing this one so pathetically.
They're just crumbling now, in their heads they have already lost the match.
I say hand the ball to shoib malik atleast he can try and give his best.

England very lucky.

Drop catches is not luck for england it is bad fielding on our part. Admit it we have been thoroughly outplayed and routed.
everyt thing is goind England's way.
WHY THE HELL IS RASHID NOT TAKING AKHTAR OFF???
I wish javaid would just walk out there and whack him across the head.

Shoaib 4 overs 46/0.
Everyone please sit tight for Shoaib's 50, he could even score a century today, the way he is going. He surely has wiped off Akram and Waqar from our memory. Cant the ICC ban him again.
[/QUOTE]
Whats all the complaining, you asked for Waqar to be dropped when he played and now you want him back because of one bad bowling display.
Though I am not justifying Shoaib's careless bowling, I think you can also look at other bowler's economy figure.
Sami is going for 8, Hafeez for 9, Razzaq for 6, Mahmood for 8.5.
Its not just one person performing badly, if Shoaib Akhtar is to be criticized than all the bowlers too.
a lost cause 
those of us who are watching live will agree with me that pakistan is lacking the very basics in this game, namely decipline, professionalism and commitment. younus just dropped a fairly simply catch off shoaib’s bowling and guy had a huge smile on his face. i mean come on, that wasn’t so hard to hold on and on top of that, he is smiling like a jerk. 2 0’s in 2 innings and now dropping catches like they are hot rocks 
Umair,
Shoib is taking the blame because he is the most experienced bowler out of the lot. He is supposed to lead the bowling from the front. The rest of the bowlers haven't had as many ugly matches as shoaib has had.
When you have played as many matches as shaoib, you're expected to develop a certain amount of skill to stop the flow of runs.
Umair, it's about time you wipe off that avatar of Shoaib from under your name. Please do it for Pakistani team's sake. I just can't believe a cricket fan like yourself would be a fan of such an idiot cricketer.

Umair try reading english properly. Where did I say bring back Waqar, can you highlight that for me.
The other bowlers dont bad mouth their countrymen like this git does.
Now please show me where I have said Waqar be brought back.
sadi sobi must be unconscious after english team's batting that is why she is not posting anymore :-)
I told you guys from the start that this was a belter of a batting pitch and we handed the initiative to England by our over-careful approach against mediocre bowling.
Trescothick got what he deserved for taking charge so hats off to him. Pakistan's bowling has been shocking but on a batting wicket you have to put up a decent total and we didn't look like doing it from the first ball because of our negative approach.
I think she is in shock as well. Plus she is busy putting some final touches that green dupatta for Mr Xtreme. Now that Pakistan has lost, I am kinda looking forward to him wearing it in a sick sort of way. :p
sighz
16.2 Shoaib Akhtar to Solanki, FOUR, a great shot past the bowler to long off rope

To insult him more and people like me would look at his bowling and laugh at him. So this is the guy who says the W's were nothing. I think Rashid is doing good to keep Shoaib on.

wht abt a tight kurta and pajama for x-treme? :-)
he'll looking dashing in that dress :--P
Well atleast something good came out of the loss (apart from the upcoming sacking of shoib and younis)

Mistook about Waqar, its someone else who said it
sorry!
but everyone criticizing Shoaib alone won't do it, blame should be on everyone, Razzaq and Azhar have more experience then Shoaib as far international caps are concerned.
one bad day doesn't justify a player's performance, you need to look at overall display which has been pretty decent.
