:rolleyes: Mazzak uraatay hoo Makholiyaaaaaae :stuck_out_tongue: taab tak to mujhe bhi pata chal jaye ga

Re: Pakistan vs England, 1st Test, Multan

Bat FIRST :jhanda:

Re: Pakistan vs England, 1st Test, Multan

kyon kyaa toss fixing kar rhay ho:D ?

Yar I will be fine with anything, either Pakistan or bowling. However If the pitch is going to help fast bowlers on day 1 or 2 than definitely I would not like Pakstan to bat first.

Re: Pakistan vs England, 1st Test, Multan

Ummm a .. swing will be there for all the 5 days (if the match last)
its upto the bowler how to swing it !!! in their way

Re: Pakistan vs England, 1st Test, Multan

I think it will be hard to keep both Afridi & Malik out of the team. After all, in the past we have been playing with Razzak & Afridi together.
This means either Butt or the no. 6 (Hassan / Asim) will have to be sacrificed.
Interesting for me would be what happens when Razzak is fit. That would be excellent situation to have 3 world-class all-rounders in the team (Malik, Afridi, Razzak). We will probably drop one of the seamers (depends upon which one performs poorly in 1st test).

Re: Pakistan vs England, 1st Test, Multan

I think Pak has to bat first and set up a 400+ total.
Engl. should have a tough time chasing evening 200 on a spinning day 5 track.

Re: Pakistan vs England, 1st Test, Multan

It looks lke both Inzi and Woolmer are not sure about the way the pitch is going to be. I've read conflicting reports about the pitch coming from Bob and Inzi. Let's see what happens.

Re: Pakistan vs England, 1st Test, Multan

afridi must be in the team, we need his bouncy leg spin as well as the firepower to match flintoff and peterson

Re: Pakistan vs England, 1st Test, Multan

how much time left :eek:

Re: Pakistan vs England, 1st Test, Multan

hopefully 23 minutes

Re: Pakistan vs England, 1st Test, Multan

Inzi won the toss, elected to bat. Good pitch for batting, first hour is going to be difficult.

Re: Pakistan vs England, 1st Test, Multan

afridi not playing, Butt under pressure to justify his selection by a good knock

first hour will be crucial
