Well done Pakistan!

[Cricket_Guru]

Mubarak to everyone.... This team is complete, the only thing it might lack is a good allrounder and I am sure that my Hero Sahibzada Nawabzada Shahid Khan Afridi fits that role perfectly. :--D

Congratulations Pakistan and their fans!

[Number]

Not like it needs defending but for what it's worth I watched the whole thing in all its glory (lurked ICF intermittently too). Day's play started at 10PM where I am.

your signature

[King Tendulkar]

Your fecking team deserves all of it at the moment. But I am very disappointed with your fans. 4 of them (waseem, utalk, ali and pioneer) were sleeping, going off to sleep, walking on the roads and doing such kind of nonsense when your team was delivering the performance of this decade. Even, we, your arch-rivals were biting our nails hoping that you would win and loved the way the Eng got routed. Please teach your fans some discipline next time so that they know how to appreciate a good performance 'live' and not through youtube, highlights, sms and similar rubbish. :mad:

:--D

[Pagalpanti]

There is something about this Pak team, you just can't hate them :P I guess just because they got rid of the characters and are playing as a team.

Good boy. Now teach the rest how to be a disciplined fan. :winky:

[Asim]

Was on the road while my father was texting me the score. Almost got into an accident each time a wicket fell

:--D same here :((

Thanks guys. I watched the first half of the day and went to bed at Eng 18/0 thinking they would win. Got up two hours later and it was presentation time. Now thats what you call bad timing. I watched 80% of the play but missed the best bit. But hey I am not complaining because this ranks as one of the best test wins for us. Spinners were awesome but Eng batting was not test class I am afraid. They were some embarrassing dismissals,

I watched each ball since Day-1 yet somehow missed it after Eng 3/33 onwards, still I was not too positive about victory :(( but what happened later :hatsoff: I think team finally started to look like a TEAM, if they keep on performing consistently, I'll keep on increasing my level of optimism for the team...

[Asim]

I've even started to like their Shafiqs and Alis and whoever they are. Just can't like the Khatmal family.

I can see Pak to play every format for next few decades with at least one khatmal in team :(( :--D

[Asim]

fkn asim too went on 36 hour hibernation cos he though they are gonna lose some body wake him up already! :mad: see how much jinxed i used today so pakistan wins.. :((

BOOOO at the Paki fans. We wake up early mornings to see our last 4 wickets capitulate in an hour to complete our humiliation and these maharajas don't have the time to see their team win like champs. :facepalm:

Guys I watched it ball by ball since Day-1 and not went off cz of thinking they 'd loose, I actually had to go somewhere :( which I delayed best possible I cud... & while I was in some traveling, kept on getting those shocking sms score alerts, from 68/5 to 72 AO was almost impossible to believe on, Yes I missed alot but kind of enjoyed too those moments too, reminded me early school days when I used to go school with pocket radio to listen commentary in break...

[abis_waseem]

Thanks guys for the so nice gesture

Most overrated player in the history of cricket. We need a fast bowling all rounder and two batsmen to challenge Aussies and South Africa on their soil.

Welcome to my Akmals Out Club.

[rkt.india]

The brilliant part was the quick pace at which Rehman and Ajmal bowled in the innings' date=' clearly outlining that there is a thought and plan in their attack and they just go out there and bowl in their comfort zone.[/quote'] But all cricketing expert talk about giving flight and bowling slow. I think it is over rated and depends on the strength of the bowler. It is the accuracy which is the most important part to build pressure. After all every one cannot be Murli or Warne to turn the ball square.

On these pitches you need to bowl a bit quick as they are slow and if you bowl at lesser pace batsman can play off the back foot,Also they were able to turn the ball at that pace due to the wikcet so it becomes harder to play.

I missed this match.. looked at the score card and it's 72 all out. :hehe: Wonderful stuff by Pakistan!

Depends on the pitch - think to the Bombay test against Australia when Clarke and Karthik were the top bowlers or to the '87 pitch against Pakistan when Qasim was bowling his fast turners.

It is a too much talked about cliche. I think accuracy with a little bit of spin at good pace like BS Chndrashekhar used to ball. It all depends on the strength of a ball. Spinning the ball like Warne and Murli is a gifted talent which every one does not possess and if some one does not have it, it is better to concentrate on accuracy and varying the pace. Ajmal is neither a big turner of the ball nor his doosra turns a lot, but he is difficult to read and assess because of his start-stop action and bowls with accuracy as well.
