Ehsan Bhai with your permission (aapki ijazaat ke saath)
Coming back to my favorite subject, importance of having specialist opners. We can blame umpiring, ground whatever but what we cannot deny is the importance of having specialists doing a specialist job. In test match cricket, having reliable batsmen with a proven track record in domestic circuit or international are a must. It is the openers who can set the pace for your innings,
t only are we now struggling to consolidate we have lost any opportunity to put England under pressure with a quick fired opening stand of atleast 100 runs on the board and a well set batsman who could have carried his bat till the close.

At the end of the day we all want the same thing ie Pakistan win. By playing specialists for each position we can only improve our chances, expecting success by experimenting with gutsy players with a flawed technique for that particular spot carries a very small probability.

Yaar leave this discussion for end of the day. your post will just get lsot amidst all live updates so wll answer it later:D

oookay .. so exactly why do we have umpires? We can straightforwardly go with the opposite possibility than what actually occurs.

Inzi had a word with Taufel as well when he walked in...I think Inzi showed something to Taufel and the poor soul got scared...oh boy Taufel will obey to Inzi now...

Ball hit Inzi marginally outside the off and decision could have gone either way. Good to see benefit of doubt going Pak’s way :k:

Re: Pakistan V England 2nd Test Match, Faislabad

yar i'm sooooooooooooooo sick n tired of this Hair .... he's been a nemisis for pak cricket since mid nineties as far as I can remember..... Being involved in calling pakis and lankans throwers... (there's no doubt in my mind abt him being the biggest racist in the whole pannel of ICC umpires) I even read that he prefers to be appointed for series including Pakistan and it has proved right because he's involved in almost every IMPORTANT series !! its a fact really.... no just cribbing!! I was afraid when pakistan requested for both neutral umpires that he'll get himself involved, and he did... and look at the price we r paying!!!
Is se to behtar hai ke hum bhi India ki tarah Hari Haran jesa koi desi umpire rakhain in all Pakistan match who can kick these english butts and make Ian Botham cry!!

Going on the defensive side never helps. Pak should have been looking to win...
