Can someone with Sky Sports check if it is on any of the channels? Doubt it though, but worth a try? :D

101/3
 
And Yasir Shah srikes right after i called him a waste of space :))
The guy has an impressive first class average, better than Raza at the moment. Don't think Raza's fully developed in tests honestly. In limited overs though he's ready.

Sadaf Hussein you're right should have played. Perhaps Zulquifar Babar too, but at 33 perhaps selectors aren't thinking of him breaking into the international team anytime soon.
 
Yasir Shah strikes.


Raza Hasan is a waste of space. He din't deserve a call up. I'm surprised that the selectors ignored Danish Kaneria, who was the top spinner in this years domestic season. Instead they picked Raza Hasan who hasn't been good this season. :facepalm:
 
should bring in Talha back on. Eoin Morgan does struggle against Pace.

Btw Ali Imran Pasha is 12th player

:))

I always said spin is gonna be key in UAE , and here England are in a twist against yasir shah who is a division 2 spinner in Pakistan and more of a limited overs bowler

Imagine what Ajmal and rehman are gonna do who are world class bowlers.

Apart from Ali Cook, rest of the england batting has looked pretty woeful in these warm up games!

Cook looks a class apart to the rest! England struggling against spin once again!
 
talha always bowls at 90mph and that's in first class cricket. in odi's he'll get upto 94mph :talha

talha>>>>>>>>>>>wahab>>>cheema

In pace yes, but there's more to fast bowling than pace.

By your logic, talha>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>asif.

wrong. wahab's still faster than him, pace plays a part but talha looks the real deal. if only he sorted his run up out.
 
Mohammad Talha back in the attack and immediately finds the edge


Mohammad Talha to Cook, FOUR, edged, full length dive from the keeper not able to get a hand to that.
 
and a dropped from talha :P




Mohammad Talha to Cook, no run, hit back to the bowler, dropped, casual effort really.
 
Hint younis, misbah and umar all quality players of spin, infact younis and misbah are better at playing spin than pace.

Haha, we just need to being in a debut spinner to clean you guys up then, you seem to struggle against newbies.

Nah seriously, i'm not making excuses here, but i doubt our batsmen have done much practicing against leg spin recently. Pakistan do not have a leggie in their squad, and i'm presuming they've been setting ProBatter to off-spin/SLA to counter Ajmal/Hafeez etc.
 
One thing about England is that they have a lot of grit and fight and even their tail can bat

Prior always does well and very unselfish player

And cook well he is very good away and will most likely score lots of runs on these flat pitches I think he could end up being a big thorn for Pakistan , key is to get him early or otherwise he is a type of batsmen who will get big hundreds.

How much have you actually seen of him? I've not seen much recently and I was assuming you were just going on reports about his pace.

he was at slough cricket club last year. took 7 on debut but gave something like 20 no balls in in 10 overs :asadrauf
 
England have a lot of depth in batting and having Prior at number 7 is a good person to come in wether teams in trouble or they need to push on for quick runs.

PCB X1 need to get both these batsmen out quickly!
 
England's two best / most reliable batsmen stepping up again. Prior's record in rescue acts is immense.
