i dont understand one thing. my understanding is in UAE foreigners cannot become citizens and most of these guys from India/Pak went their on work visas. How come they are allowed to play for UAE side?? does it mean anyone could go on a visa to any test playing country also and play for them without becoming a citizen??

You can't just take a visit visa and play, just like how you can't take a visit visa and work. Yes, once you get the residence visa, then you can.
 
Tauqir should look to hand the ball either to Khurram or Rohan. Karate is getting whipped!
 
History in making.

Bad dream for Pakistan, Minnows performing well.
 
Why is Khurram bhai not bowling? I thought he was an allrounder. My fantasy team is dead now. :facepalm:

Canada got demoted to division 3, so ICC cut $300,000 funding. Basically, they just said "screw it", eliminated all the "contracts" of players and the coach. Coach was the only one who had full contract(led Baroda to 2010-2011 Ranji trophy final), among players there were about 2-3 players who were getting X amount per game and if you add the matches they played they wouldn't have made more than $5000/YEAR. You need at least $30,000 to survive in Canada as a single male, so most have day jobs. As of now, Cricket Canada has no players, no coach, just a president. The President of Cricket Canada, came on national television, CBC(BBC of Canada) and basically asked future Canadian players to pay their own money for future tours and etc. Majority of the top cricketers have probably moved on. Among associate nations, Canada has the most number of registered players playing. Afghan and Nepali players can survive with $1000/month because of currency exchange and funding isn't a major issue, but for a developed country like Canada funding is a major issue because $1000 is not even good enough to rent a 1 bedroom apartment.

He is a professional who excels at helping other professionals. Sadly, there is nothing professional about the Pakistan team, and they do not take strategies seriously.
 
Fielding towards the latter part of the innings is always a problem for lower ranked teams
 
Zimababwe whole team can bat.

Pakistan in trouble in their match, i have a feeling.

Fitness issue will always haunt them. most of the players are in mid 30s and early 40s for UAE and no professional training for them as part timers
 
Masakadza-Taylor-Williams, if 2/3 of them fire, Zimbabwe seem well set chasing any kind of total so far.

UAE really need to find a sixth bowling option .. they cant do with 5 bowlers

they do have. this guy Rohan Mustafa came in number 7 but wasn't used for bowling. also khurran khan is all rounder with decent stats, not sure why he didn't bowl either.

Nooo, there was so much stupid politics. The league teams have good rivalry thing going on and the selectors are basically coaches of 3-4 teams so they often end up picking their players and bs like that. We had like 4 coaches in 4_years. The 2011wc team was coached by current Nepali coach Pabudu Disanayake who is being worshipped like a god in Nepal. The older experienced guys have quit, fastest bowler who hits 150km/h had been poached by West Indies and currently we have like few 18 to 26yr olds with 29yr olds in the team. Ive seen them practice several times over the last 5 months and it is not encouraging. Some guys only bat indoor from September till April due to winter Canada Sports doesn't fund them to be sent to play elsewhere in summer.

yeah khurram khan i know can bowl...if rohan can bowl then why didnt they try him .. Aaqib is a wise guy he cannot make mistakes like this when finalizing the game plan . I hope they do use more and more bowling options
 
Magnificent 50 by Craig Williams, since the moment he came out to bat he has looked cool as a cucumber :raja
 
last recognized batsmen in. if UAE break this partnership in next 2 overs, game on.
 
83 runs partnership by last ervine and williams in almost 10 overs.. really took the game away
 
this captain is better than misbah, brought in field for new batsmen even in last few overs unlike when dhawan got out, we kept bowling with spread field and haris!
 
dot balls wont do it, they must get wickets. have to get them all out basically.
 
I heard that Chatara and Panyangara can bat better than Shehzad ....
