Title: Lahore warm up Post by: fatbury on Monday, November 7, 2005, 08:26:27 He had knee probs before so Im not hopeful .. Freddie for captain?? :-))(

Title: Lahore warm up Post by: larwood on Monday, November 7, 2005, 08:55:29 Aside from the worring injury though our batting again has been disappointing,which makes me feel a bit concerned for Saturday, especially as at the moment it seems to be the seamers and not the spinners that are doing the damage.what the fuck are we going to do when the spinners come more into the game?
Although it is now 148-4(5),struss has made 50,so maybe i'm getting worried a little too soon :) . Title: Lahore warm up Post by: fatbury on Monday, November 7, 2005, 09:08:26 I dont think these pitches are anything like the ones we are going to be playing on .. hopefully we can get out act together for the big one .. im gonna be up at 4:30 to watch it on Saturday so they better!

Me too Fatbury :) ,but i'm getting up at 4.00 to watch the build up as well :) The big man Inzy has been saying how the game in Multan could be effected by adverse weather, its coming up to the winter there. Title: Lahore warm up Post by: larwood on Monday, November 7, 2005, 15:06:57 We finished on 256-9,England bat well at last :beers:
Pakistan A finished on 31-1,chasing 250 odd to win,Hoggy got the wicket,sounds like he's doing well :) . Title: Lahore warm up Post by: fatbury on Monday, November 7, 2005, 15:09:50 doesnt sound good for Vaughny .. Tresco will be captain I guess - I think we should let Strauss or Freddie have a go tho
Title: Lahore warm up Post by: larwood on Monday, November 7, 2005, 16:06:32 Quote doesnt sound good for Vaughny No it doesn't :( ,they will know more tomorrow.If he needs surgery it will be the end of his tour :( . Title: Lahore warm up Post by: larwood on Tuesday, November 8, 2005, 08:55:56 Looks like we might lose :( ,Pakistan A are 207-3 chasing 254.Its not looking good.
Title: Lahore warm up Post by: fatbury on Tuesday, November 8, 2005, 09:16:32 yeah bit of a disappointment .. Tresco will be captain if Vaughan isnt fit
So whats your side Larwood? Id go with Tresco Strauss Prior Pietersen Flintoff Bell Collingwood Giles Udal Hoggard Harmison Prior in for extra batting in absence of Vaughan and two spinners Title: Lahore warm up Post by: larwood on Tuesday, November 8, 2005, 09:27:54 Quote Prior in for extra batting in absence of Vaughan The way Virgil is batting at the moment i can't see us missing him for his runs :wink: but as captain he is a huge loss :( ,not sure if he's been ruled out of the tour yet so there is still some hope he may just miss the first test. I like your side :) ,i think two spinners are the way to go certainly in the absence of the Welsh wizard.But unfortunately i can't see Geraint Jones getting dropped,so i think it will be him keeping wicket instead of Prior [or Tresco :wink: :) ]. Title: Lahore warm up Post by: fatbury on Tuesday, November 8, 2005, 09:35:12 see we lost - but at least Freddie got some wickets .. they might play both Jones AND Prior .. with Bell being omitted out of my side
Title: Lahore warm up Post by: larwood on Tuesday, November 8, 2005, 09:48:09 Yes we've lost :( ,they were chasing 245 not 254,easy mistake to make :oops: .
Replacing Prior for Bell is a good idea,at least Prior has made some runs.Whoever plays its going to be a stern test,i fear it could be a long hard slog for the boys.At least by losing maybe some of the complacency they may be effected with will have gone.Its set the series up as well,hopefully it will be a cracker.

Title: Lahore warm up Post by: larwood on Tuesday, November 8, 2005, 15:55:32 Quote 7 Butterfingers :D Funny but alas true.The lack of a decent wicket keeper could have a big effect on pitches that take spin,of course we don't know what conditions are going to be like yet so hopefully it won't be too much of a problem :-))( .I guess he was part of the Ashes winning team though to be fair to the bloke. |
