ICC Combined Associate and Affiliate XI v England XI | Dubai (GCA) | 7-9/1/12

England XI vs ICC Combined Associate and Affiliate XI squad | JAN 7-9 | MATCH THREAD

How can there be no match thread for this? Not long to go. I heard it will be streamed online some where for some money. Any one reckon it will go online for free somewhere else and will mods allow us to post links etc?

Bresnan is doubtful for this match which gives a place for Finn. Interesting how England cope in UAE conditions.

5 hours to go.

 

[greekscavenger]

Crictime, will you marry me?

Though I hope we bowl first as I don't want to wake up at 6 in the morning to watch Cook/Trott tukking away singles.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Will it be on Crictime?

 

[greekscavenger]

*hopefully*

*prays*

 

[Nice-N-Fresh]

Someone said on the other thread that the english media XI is far superior to this England XI.

However, it will be intresting to see the form of the South africans Strauss, KP, Trott etc...

 

[greekscavenger]

Bitter, as expected.

 

[khalil1986]

Bitter, as expected.

Ah the bitter truth

 

[Prince_Pathan]

this on any channel i want to see hamid hasan bowl

 

[Random Aussie]

Which team is which?

 

[Square Drive]

This doesn't even involve any Pakistanis in it, so I'm not that excited.

 

[Ruri]

This doesn't even involve any Pakistanis in it, so I'm not that excited.

I didn't know Pakistan was part of the Associate nations?

Kinda obvious really.

 

[Ahson8]

Porterfield already

 

[Ruri]

Broad has two wickets already. Fun. This was a poor idea to set the Associates against England.

 

[Ahson8]

and now stirling too Broad seems in good form

 

[Ahson8]

Another one down )

 

[Ruri]

And Broad has three. This is ridiculous.

 

[Ahson8]

Broad 2.4-1-5-3

 

[shahrukh619]

Pakistani born batsmen at the crease

 

[AFG_Brit]

Anyone watching it live? If so, where pls?

[Qadeer]

there is a link on cricinfo website for live streaming 10dollors for 3 days...

a LOL moment

 

[W63L35]

From Cricinfo..

21.6 Swann to Williams, SIX, too full again and Williams taking full advantage of that, ball sailing over the boundary good clean strike.

21.5 Swann to Mohammad Shahzad, 1 run, good use of the wrists

21.4 Swann to Mohammad Shahzad, FOUR, full this time elegante drive past mid off

They're all basically slogging tailenders. And they're 91/6 on a flat pitch, I think England is doing completely fine here.

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

I expected the 11 associated to put in a better performance. Really bad sofar

 

[IAJ]

The run rate is fine but have lost just too many wickets.

 

[Qadeer]

Mohammad Shahzad on 43..i like his average 73 from 10 matches

 

[TheHK16]

any link guys

 

[AFG_Brit]

What's the score please and who is the highest scorer so far?

 

[TheHK16]

[AFG_Brit]

@ thehk16, thank u.

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

England will post 700 on this wicket.

 

[TheHK16]

 

[Inziquicksingle]

England will post 700 on this wicket.

Is the wicket that flat? How do you know?

 

[Quick Single]

I hope Majid Haq does well, he's a really nice guy.

 

[Quick Single]

And a solid allrounder.

 

[greekscavenger]

anyone got a free stream for this?

 

[malakian]

Fraid not. Finn has just got out Haq. Anyone know what the pitch is like?

 

[greekscavenger]

Flat, according to people here.

 

[Azlan Khan]

any links for streaming ???

 

[Amjid Javed]

Assoc X1 181/8

Haq out for 26, so a decent recovery here. England will be happy with work out they have had so far.

 

[Bullet Drive]

good recovery but.as expeted england.are ahead. whens the pak a vs eng game?

 

[Deewana Mastana]

England were expected to romp to a win in this game anyway!

 

[greekscavenger]

Whats the score? All my commentary feeds all stopped for some reason.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

The last score I knew was that the ICC side were 150/7

 

[AFG_Brit]

Cricinfo is not updating.. Score plz? An hour ago it was 181/8.

 

[AmmarAshraf]

218/8

 

[greekscavenger]

Now's when we need Swann to knock over them tail enders.

 

[ash 68]

World no 1 bowlers going round the park

Lol associate tailenders giving them some work

 

[greekscavenger]

Eh? We're on 238/8, hardly a bad score :/

 

[AmmarAshraf]

ICC Comb XI 238/8 (72.0 ov)

 

[IAJ]

Pakistan should take notice of how ICC CO XI are playing Swann. He has bowled 21 overs and gone for 89 runs at 4.23 though he has picked up a couple of wickets.

248/8. Very good recovery from 90/6.

 

[Proud To Be A Pakistani]

to be honest ... after the start they had to get where they are ... they deserve a loud cheer , england have some work to do

 

[James]

Typical England, pwn the batsmen and let the tail run riot.

One of the last remaining weaknesses of this team is their bowling against the tail, this keeps happening.

Not too bad overall though, Broad and Finn look like they ragged it.

 

[IAJ]

Captaan sahib

 

[Amjid Javed]

Viljoen is approaching his highest ever 1st class score.

Boyd rankin is no mug with the bat as hes shown when hes played for ireland.

255/8

ICC X1 have done themselves proud so far and if they can bat all day its job well done!

Same can be said about India and Australia and Pakistan sometimes as well

surely agree 100% with that , they should be proud of this , i want Vilojen to get 100

 

[Amjid Javed]

England leaking runs against the tail here. Intresting to see how england bat on this wicket tomorrow.

 

[Amjid Javed]

surely agree 100% with that , they should be proud of this , i want Vilojen to get 100

So do i! hes on 84*

 

[IAJ]

So do i! hes on 84*

Don't jinx him!

 

[James]

England have leaked runs against loads of tail-enders in different teams. annoying.

good batting practice tomorrow hopefully.

 

[Proud To Be A Pakistani]

come on Vilojen go for it on 88

 

[Proud To Be A Pakistani]

ahhhh this 100 would be cherry on the top to the story ..... wat i read about team india on ... cricinfo ... the dream is DEAD

 

[shahrukh619]

Poterfield is a foolish captain. He sended Mohammad Shezad at lower order. Shezad is a top order batsmen. He usually comes at 1 down.

 

[James]

I'd like to congratulate Porterfield, Stirling, Rankin and Viljoen for finally qualifying for England, looks they are really taking the sword to this ICC combined XI.

.......oh wait.

 

[Proud To Be A Pakistani]

90* bring it on combo

 

[AmmarAshraf]

Hmm Swann yet to bowl maiden over

 

[AmmarAshraf]

New ball taken!

[Bullet Drive]

[WalkingWiggett]

[Bullet Drive]

[Proud To Be A Pakistani]
