Plunkett has made 50,we were 130-8,now 228-8,so a recovery . But Solanki has had to come on as super-sub,so we are going to struggle in the bowling stakes and 220 odd isn't going to be enough on this wicket.

230 all out :( Not good enough.We are going to have to bowl well to win and i can't see it happening.

I thought J1mmy Anderson was the best bowler in the first ODI.
Could've we sub Harmison instead.

To emphasize that you've put a number one in his name 8)  :)
I guess its about the batting and Harmy can bat a bit unless he gets run out :-))( The super-sub thing is crap anyway.

Pietersen looks like he isn't going to play again this series, can't even chuck the ball.

Pak 154-2.  :?

Harmy has just got Akmal :) ,trouble is he's already made his century :(
Another batting collapse has effected us again.

Poor batting and totally friendly stuff from Plunkett and Harmison.

I skipped college for this.

Oopps,not the best idea.
At least i didn't get up at six to watch the start :)
The thing is we need to do well in this series because it will effect our postion in the I.C.C rankings, if we finish lower than sixth [i think :-))( ]we will have to qualify for the I.C.C champions trophy competition that takes place prior to the World cup in India.

We didnt get anywhere near enough runs to make a match of it, on a good Batting track.  :|

I blame Blackwell for this defeat, if he had scored 100+ we would have been alright.  :wink:

blackwell's bowling really well at the minute. shame his fielding is akin to that of a carthorse

i agree boeta, but he'll stay there so im fine with his fieldig efforts. if they had common sense they'd put him somewhere where running isn't that vital.

The way Pakistan batting is going. They can hit it to all areas.
So anywhere Blackwell is fielding is a danger.
Use him as a sub.

Like the pavilion :wink: sorry couldn't resist :)  Today yet again on this tour the batsmen let us down,the bowlers couldn't really defend such a paltry total.
