Pakistani Summer in England

[King Tendulkar]

Says a fan whose own domestic tournament was played outside:giggle:

So is it a home or away series?

[HowardRoark]

Boyz, there is an ignore function. Might I suggest you that use that instead of allowing these idiots to provoke you. Remember the old saying - Never argue with an idiot, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

I agree and I shall remember...

[Gunner_Mania]

Says a fan whose countrymen were dying to get into the next edition of the domestic tournament :giggle: after being ignored, they said their nation has been humiliated :--D but after 2 days again said, we r willing to forget everything, just take us in :hysterical:

What does that have to do with the fact that our domestic tournament was played in South Africa?

[EnterTheVoid]

KT, ouch, leave the baccha alone :((

I don't want to sound like a whinging child, but look at Post #40 -- if that is not provocative -- what on the M-F'ing earth is ? And I have clearly ignored this dirt ridden scum bag all along and stated some facts, which he of-course he did not have balls to handle.

[CSK Fan]

When and why did this thread change from a Pak cricket thread to a Pakistan bashing one? Seriously, the quality of the threads have dipped a lot recently and we can have no serious discussions without Pakistan bashing. come on guys, we can do better than this

How is post 40 different from post 30 and subsequent posts by you? How is what he said any less of a 'fact' than yours? Come on dude, if you were in his place you would have replied on like terms too. And i dont see a reason he had to be abused by you

Katich wary of Pakistan under captain Afridi Brydon Coverdale July 1, 2010 Australia's opener Simon Katich expects Pakistan's new captain Shahid Afridi to spark an improvement from his side when the teams meet for two Tests in England this month. The series comes barely six months after Pakistan's disastrous tour of Australia, when they lost 3-0 and the board subsequently dished out harsh penalties to a range of players. The leader of that ill-fated trip, Mohammad Yousuf, retired from international cricket in the aftermath and although he might return later in the year, it won't be for this series. Instead, control of the Test team has been handed to Afridi, who led Pakistan at the end of their 5-0 ODI defeat in January and was banned for two Twenty20s for biting the ball in the final game at the WACA. Last month Ricky Ponting said he was confident the Australians could "sort out" Afridi, who hasn't played a Test since 2006. However, despite Afridi's lack of success at the helm in Australia, Katich believes as captain he has the potential to energise Pakistan, who haven't beaten Australia in a Test since November 1995. "When he took over in the one-day series they had a bit more direction on the field, with him in charge," Katich told Cricinfo. "They put in some good performances after that, even if they didn't win the games they were certainly more competitive. He'll bring an energy and enthusiasm to the job because that's the sort of player that he is. I think they've probably chosen wisely there." The matches at Lord's and Headingley will be the first neutral Tests played in England since the triangular tournament of 1912 and it is hard to predict which side will appreciate the conditions more. Katich, who has been adjusting to the English summer during a stint with Lancashire, believes Pakistan's attack will enjoy the venues more than the harder surfaces in Australia last summer. "Conditions here will probably suit them better than Australian conditions, given that they've got a couple of good spinners in Danish Kaneria and Saeed Ajmal," Katich said. "The wickets here generally this time of year, if the weather stays dry, they will spin. They will prefer the wickets here than in Australia, where the wickets didn't turn a huge amount. Some of their fast bowlers will as well, given that there's probably a bit more swing in England." Katich, who is Australia's reigning Test Player of the Year, will link up with the squad ahead of next week's two-day tour match in Derby, where the group will also be joined by Test specialist Marcus North, the returning fast bowler Ben Hilfenhaus and the backup batsman Usman Khawaja. Australia will almost certainly have two debutants at Lord's, where Tim Paine will keep wicket and Steven Smith is likely to take the No. 1 spin role in the absence of the injured Nathan Hauritz. The series gives the chance for Australia to test their depth ahead of the Ashes later this year, although they can now fine-tune their plans in the recently-announced two-Test tour of India in October. The trip was originally scheduled to include ODIs only, but Katich is pleased the Test players will have another opportunity to warm up before November's Ashes opener at the Gabba. "I think we've got a pretty good balance because there are still a couple of Shield games before the Ashes start," Katich said. "That will give the guys plenty of time to acclimatise back to Australian conditions and it's probably good that we've got some more Test cricket to make sure we're in that mode leading in to what's a very important series."

What I really want to see is Paki Fans running on to the pitch and throwing some beer cans and stuff. That will teach these friggin English a lesson or two. They keep their grounds so damn open, no fences, nothing -- just like they used to play cricket 50 years ago. In this day age that is very very dangerous, it is insane. There are more chances a cricketer will get killed in England than anywhere else

Huh??? What did you find provocative there ? Who did I provoke there ? All I am asking is -- the grounds to be fenced is provocative ? Something that has happened and a person known as Steve Waugh -- echoed similar sentiments. Who did I provoke here? Come on man... give me a bloody break ? And the scum bag -- shows me a finger by stating use less things -- that has nothing to do with fencing of stadiums --- that is not provocative ? To begin with I did not answer in any of my posts to that scum bag. I intentionally try to keep away from him (as much as possible) -- knowing his level of posts, and the fact that he is bloody useless troll, who is here to be a pain in our rear ends

Yaar, too much negativity and bashing going on in threads recently. No serious discussions

[Mamu]

Here is more reason I consider him to be a scum bag -- who maintains that Pakiland is a holier than thou attitude He stated

That`s debatable? You`re the first person to say that. The act of throwing "missiles" is a shameless act. Not found in ANY OTHER country! Teams and their players have been attacked in many countries. Both Saqlain and Waqar were attacked by knives in SA. They were injured and out of action for quite sometime.So this phenomenon isn`t limited to Pakistan only.

But the facts are : At Karachi, December 20. No result, the match being stopped because of crowd trouble. Toss: India. Put in on a damp pitch, Pakistan were in dire straits when Prabhakar picked up three wickets in his opening spell of five overs. However, the Indian team were forced to leave the field owing to repeated stone-throwing by the huge crowd, particularly from the galleries. The police were still struggling to control the student faction when the Indians, though reluctantly, took the field for the second time. As missiles more deadly than stones kept coming, they walked off again. With a full-scale battle between the police and the students resulting in the use of tear-gas and gun shots outside the National Stadium being heard, the abandonment of the match was a formality. I have just provided one example. There are many more -- BTW he has mentioned this Missile Throwing Crap -- probably a 100 bloody times on this forum -- just to rile us up and also to say -- we never bloody threw stones in Pakistan. We dont even know what a stone is.
