[shaz619]

The English Spinners have taken 6 Wickets ahem ahem

 

[shaz619]

Fatel gobbles up another wicket....

Botham was a Fat Bastrahd to

 

[MarkCooper]

That is stumps on day 1. Pakistan A finish with 192 for 12

 

[#GreenRoars]

Adil Rashid took 3 wickets

hain???

 

[Bilal7]

hain???

12 wickets have fallen. Some of the Pakistani batsmen have batted twice for some strange reason. You'd think England would have wanted to bowl them out and gain some confidence from that.

 

[MarkCooper]

Both teams agreed to bat all day regardless of wickets falling

Does this match count as a First-Class match seeing that people have batted twice in the same innings?

Would be hilarious if someone gets 2 ducks in the same innings.

 

[Lurker_Ind]

England are a dangerous Test team. If they can score close to 300 every time they come out to bat, they have a good chance of upsetting Pak.

Ahh, ok thanks for clarification bro. Seems strange though

 

[Adnan Siddiqui]

In 2012 series, England bowled well. It was batting that let them down

 

[Adnan Siddiqui]

Ahh, ok thanks for clarification bro. Seems strange though

It was pre-decided, that each team will bat 1 day.

 

[s28]

So a fixed game.

Well done Administrators.

 

[WC-Passion]

Silly rules honestly.

 

[ExplicitAI]

Better bowling attacks will most probably filter out our current batting talent by a large margin.

 

[Sam1]

So a fixed game.

Well done Administrators.

It's a practice... It's not there for entertainment or a result.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Strange match. Manzoor, Ali Asad and now Salahuddin OUT twice each in this innings. 11 Wickets have fallen and Pak A still batting on.

I think 12

 

[s28]

watch all 12 wickets

We are not india. We won't be owned by England at home

 

[khalil1986]

We are not india. We won't be owned by England at home

Comment like this usually bite back hard, little humility is better.

 

[Asadullah]

Both Moeen and Alex fail as openers. I guess Alex has squandered his chance to debut

 

[Fantasy]

2 wickets down for 17.

MM Ali and Hales in the back in pavilion.

 

[MenInG]

More importantly - Junaid Khan get a wicket (Moeen)

 

[blackanhyellow]

We are not india. We won't be owned by England at home

waita jinx us bud.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Woow so JK takes wicket

 

[Amjid Javed]

Moeen and Hales both failing thats good to see before 1st test!

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

Mir Hamza got a wicket. Lets hope he gets some more.

 

[Robert]

Moeen and Hales both failing thats good to see before 1st test!

Neither are long-term bets anyway. Both will get sorted out by Steyn in SA. Moeen has problems with the short ball and Hales has no back-foot game.

 

[mmkextreme_1]

Pakistan A spinners Zafar Gohar and Mohammad Asghar getting some phainty by the English batsmen. Looks like this is going to be a tougher series then last time.

 

[James]

A couple of pretty good warm ups for us.

Excited for Tuesday!

 

[Pakcricket89]

England look good here, wont be surprised if we get a reality check on tuesday

 

[Bullet Drive]

England beat PAK A in 2012...........

 

[Ahson8]

Mir Hamza got a wicket. Lets hope he gets some more.

He's a smart bowler.


3.5
W Mir Hamza to Hales, OUT, great channel bowling here, Hales gets a healthy edge down to first slip, Pakistan on a roll here!!
AD Hales c Iftikhar Ahmed b Mir Hamza 9 (13b 1x4 0x6) SR: 69.23

Will be a travesty if he isn't taken to the tour of England next year. He will be a handful in those conditions.

 

[MarkCooper]

Bell and Taylor have retired

 

[JibranAnsari]

England did well in 2011 warm ups as well.

Let the real thing begin

 

[Mobashir]

Stokes gone on 0.

Important series for his career. Is he good enough to play spin bowling or not?

That's what will either make him a great cricketer or just a good cricketer.

 

[Ahson8]

Miro swinging it both ways. [MENTION=7701]Prince of Pakistan[/MENTION]


36.3 Mir Hamza to Buttler, no run, away swinger, no shot offered


36.4 Mir Hamza to Buttler, no run, incoming ball, forward defense, beaten, appeal for catch behind, Not Out!

 

[Mobashir]

I have a feeling Samit PAtel is going to replace Stokes in the playing XI and England might go with something like this :

Cook
Ali
Bell
Root
Bairstow/ Taylor
Buttler
Patel (I hope Stokes)
Rashid
Broad
Finn
Anderson

 

[zabalestmsm]

This Iftikhar Ahmed can be a very handy LOIs cricketer.

 

[shaz619]

Taylor needs to be selected. Would be surprised if Hales makes the line-up now although it's unfair that he was given once chance to prove his worth. Ali is going to open no doubt.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Ifti takes wicket, that's good.

 

[Ahson8]

Taylor needs to be selected. Would be surprised if Hales makes the line-up now although it's unfair that he was given once chance to prove his worth. Ali is going to open no doubt.

Guess they'll go with something like:

Moeen Ali
Alastair Cook (c)
Ian Bell
James Taylor
Joe Root
Ben Stokes
Bairstow / Buttler (wk)
Adil Rashid
Stuart Broad
Finn / Wood
James Anderson

 

[Cricket lover 27]

Another wicket for Mir Hamza Buttler gone.

 

[Ahson8]

Miro on :AAG
Back to back wickets..


42.4
Mir Hamza to Buttler, OUT, off stump ball, uppishly played cover drive straight down Khurram's throat at covers.

JC Buttler c Khurram Manzoor b Mir Hamza 8 (28b 1x4 0x6) SR: 28.57

42.5
Mir Hamza to Bairstow, OUT, away swinger, nipping of the turf, Saaures up Bairstow who gets a faint edge to Adnan behind the wickets!!

JM Bairstow c †Adnan Akmal b Mir Hamza 0 (1b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00

 

[Cricket lover 27]

Bairstow gone first ball to Mir Hamza 3 wickets to him.

 

[Ahson8]

Bairstow gone first ball to Mir Hamza 3 wickets to him.

He really should be selected for Tests. Will be a handful in our foreign tours next year. One of the few guys in Pakistan who actually swings the ball.

Can't wait to see the highlights package today.

 

[hussain.r97]

Can't wait to see the highlights package today.

He should seriously be considered. If he has a similar skill set, but better brain than Rahat Ali, then he could replace him for sure.

Yeah he should be apart from taking wickets he also keeps it tight.

 

[hussain.r97]

Zafar gets Rashid

 

[zabalestmsm]

I really hope that the selectors dont select Mir Hamza for ODIs on the basis of his good performance with the red ball in a 2 day game.

A mistake which our selectors have been committing for many years. A player will perform in some format and will get selected for another.

 

[Ahson8]

What a session

 

[#GreenRoars]

Miro is very impressive MA, we are getting good future bowlers

 

[khalil1986]

Besides Bell and Taylor the rest have got zilch, as predicted Cook will be the main man as Bell will go missing when the pressure is on.

I hope England don't select Taylor he is the ideal player or these conditions.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Tiger JK is back

 

[Robert]

Guess they'll go with something like:

Moeen Ali
Alastair Cook (c)
Ian Bell
James Taylor
Joe Root
Ben Stokes
Bairstow / Buttler (wk)
Adil Rashid
Stuart Broad
Finn / Wood
James Anderson

I'll narrow that down to

Moeen Ali
Alastair Cook (c)
Ian Bell
Joe Root
James Taylor
Ben Stokes
Buttler (wk)
Adil Rashid
Broad
Wood
James Anderson

I think the Invisible Horse will play instead of Finn due to the former's ability to reverse it.

 

[zabalestmsm]

So sad to see Ehsan Adil regressed with time.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Taylor is very fine batsman, and i think against national team he will perform better.

 

[zabalestmsm]

I hope its a Kookaburra ball.

 

[#GreenRoars]

So sad to see Ehsan Adil regressed with time.

He was good at U 19 level, his first seasons of domestic were also impressive, but he couldn't flourish at international level. Still he is young, he can get better with time

 

[Ahson8]

I'll narrow that down to

Moeen Ali
Alastair Cook (c)
Ian Bell
Joe Root
James Taylor
Ben Stokes
Buttler (wk)
Adil Rashid
Broad
Wood
James Anderson

I think the Invisible Horse will play instead of Finn due to the former's ability to reverse it.

Won't mind Buttler playing ahead of Bairstow at all. Buttler seems in very poor form. Similarly, think Finn will cause more problems with his pace than Wood.

 

[b.lesner]

why is cricinfo showing wrong mohammad asgher

 

[Abdullah719]

Would be hilarious if someone gets 2 ducks in the same innings.

Ali Asad managed it. Poor guy. Feel for him. Has been a very good performer at FC level but hasn't been able to buy a run in either match.

 

[Ahson8]

Another one for Zafar !


Zafar Gohar to Plunkett, OUT, comes down the track , ball spins away sharply, plunkett almost yards away from the crease as Adnan whips the bails!
LE Plunkett st Khurram Manzoor b Zafar Gohar 1 (8b 0x4 0x6) SR: 12.50

 

[Ahson8]

A couple of pretty good warm ups for us.

Excited for Tuesday!

Still excited ?

#SpokeTooSoon.

 

[m.shah]

Jk has good figures so far

 

[Asadullah]

Moeen Ali in again. This is in essence the second innings of England, after 50 overs

 

[Adnan Siddiqui]

Taylor is very fine batsman, and i think against national team he will perform better.

He is better player of spin but still played only 2 Test matches.

 

[Adnan Siddiqui]

Mir Hamza bowled well.

 

[Abid Z]

how is junaid bowling. Cricinfo seem to think he is swinging the ball away which will be momentous if true. can anybody confirm

 

[JibranAnsari]

how is junaid bowling. Cricinfo seem to think he is swinging the ball away which will be momentous if true. can anybody confirm

He swings with the old ball , its the new ball which is the issue.

 

[Asadullah]

JK is bowling bouncers to Moeen. Few mishits it seems from the commentary

 

[Naim]

So sad to see Ehsan Adil regressed with time.

khuda ko mano.

 

[LordJames]

I'll narrow that down to

Moeen Ali
Alastair Cook (c)
Ian Bell
Joe Root
James Taylor
Ben Stokes
Buttler (wk)
Adil Rashid
Broad
Wood
James Anderson

I think the Invisible Horse will play instead of Finn due to the former's ability to reverse it.

Would Clouderson be effective in UAE?

Thats what you call a proper bowler.

 

[Ahson8]

Junaid gets rid of Samit

54.3
W Junaid Khan to Patel, OUT, leg stump ball, pulls, gets a glove to Adnan down leg stump
SR Patel c †Adnan Akmal b Junaid Khan 8 (41b 0x4 0x6) SR: 19.51

 

[Cricket lover 27]

Junaid gets another wicket

Really want to see today's highlights.

Big mistake to not play Finn. I would drop Jimmy.
