Any highlights of this on tonight?


Showed it last night on Sky sports, dont know if they are going to re-show it again.

Awesome pakistani performance though, couldnt stop laughing when Pietersen got out for a big fat ZERO:D \o/, just shows how much pakistan have been missing Asif...devastating bowler and also Strauss's wicket was a good 'un as well. Good to see Shoaib back bowling, didnt too well but then he is rusty..got a nice wicket though:p

Batting wise i thought Boom Boom Afridi was simply amazing...28 runs off 10 balls:eek:, what an awesome strike rate that fella has...helped put some quick runs on the board. Inzi played well but it aint a test lol but he did smack one out of the ground though and Razzaq...well a simply sublime performance by him...very under-rated as a batsman and bowler..got 3 wickets for his troubles. Hafeez played well and just missed his 50 by 4 runs, was hoping he would get it.

Should be an interesting ODI series, now that pakistan are more or less back to full strength. You can tell they definitely missed Asif and Shoaib in the test series, with them on the field it would have been much more closer as both are proven match winners.

Am hoping that Pak get some sort of revenge back for losing the test series, phase one completed yesterday with the 20/20 victory. Pakistan Zindabad!!!!\o/

Yep :) I managed to catch the whole game that evening, and il be watching the first ODI very closely tomorrow :D

Its good to see Pakistans proper team back though, especially the likes of Asif and Shoaib. Pakistan 'should' win this one day series comfortably in all honesty, but strange things can happen, Darrell Hair might be called in to umpire :rolleyes:

BTW where is all the evidence for the ball tampering allegations? Has anything come out yet?
 
Still waiting for the hearing. Rumour was Asif was one who could have been thought to be doing things and suggestions that county umpires had problems with him during his county spell this year. Just gotta wait for the hearings to see what happens.

And the (Rawal)PindiExpress is breaking rules with his sig. Not the first time Shoaib has done that...

Mislead person---

HE has completely changed and is much more discplined, rarely see England producing bowlers going over the 95 mark nowadays :p

I think the team that Pakistan put out today, is probably our best 1-day team. They did good, hopefully they can do the same in the remaining games, and win the series. I'd be very worried if we lose this series though, especially since this looks like our 2007 world cup team!
