Pakistan Cricket Board XI v England XI | Tour Match | Dubai (GCA) | Jan 11-13, 2012

[IAJ]

No we need to choke them.

 

[JibranAnsari]

And Yasir Shah srikes right after i called him a waste of space

 

[JibranAnsari]

let's induce a collapse on them

 

[WiiiCKET]

KP again out to a Left arm spinner.

 

[anakwalajinn]

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

101/3

 

[IAJ]

KP again out to a Left arm spinner.

Nope. Yasir shah is a right arm leggie

 

[anakwalajinn]

KP again out to a Left arm spinner.

Yasir Shah bowls with the right hand :shah

 

[WiiiCKET]

Morgan-Bell-Prior all are going to get 100.

Mark my words.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Lols Jibran, as we question Yasir's place in the team he cleans up KP.

97/3

hope khalil does the same

 

[ads101]

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.

 

[TheHK16]

cook in good form

 

[shahrukh619]

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.

 

[ads101]

haha another one. Yasir!!!

 

[TheHK16]

haha cant play spin

 

[WiiiCKET]

Yasir Shah bowls with the right hand :shah

On cricinfo it was written (LB) i thought it is left arm bowler. Anyways thanks for the correction.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Morgan-Bell-Prior all are going to get 100.

Mark my words.

In a warm up no one bats that long

 

[shahrukh619]

another one by Yasir Shah

 

[anakwalajinn]

And Yasir Shah srikes right after i called him a waste of space

Another one gone

 

[WiiiCKET]

In a warm up no one bats that long

Of course Bell is Out

 

[shahrukh619]

Morgan-Bell-Prior all are going to get 100.

Mark my words.

right..............

 

[ads101]

haha cant play spin

Bell can certainly play spin, just a bad shot and a good ball. Out of all the English batsmen, his play against spin all round is the strongest.

 

[JibranAnsari]

lol wiiicket your one centurion is gone

 

[JibranAnsari]

Damn why isn't it being televised ?

 

[WiiiCKET]

lol wiiicket your one centurion is gone

Oh No.. Ok i add Cook on my list.

 

[shahrukh619]

here comes raza hasan

 

[shahrukh619]

Looks like Kaneria's career is over. Won't be selected ever again.

 

[shahrukh619]

shah back on

 

[shahrukh619]

should bring in Talha back on. Eoin Morgan does struggle against Pace.

Btw Ali Imran Pasha is 12th player

 

[JibranAnsari]

Kaneria is still the best leg spinner in the country by a country mile.

 

[JibranAnsari]

The irish strokes a :4

 

[supersix]

[anakwalajinn]

Man, Yasir :shah is on a roll (ercoaster!)

 

[WiiiCKET]

Yes my 2nd Centurion

Shah once again done it.

 

[Watsupdoc]

Yasir Shah has done very well so far!

 

[JibranAnsari]

Another goes

 

[shahrukh619]

Yasiiiiiiiiiiirrrrrrrr Shaaaaaaaahhhhh :shah 3rd wicket

 

[Ismailtoca]

this game shoulda been properly televised

 

[JibranAnsari]

Raza hasan is dissapointing , only has 34 wickets in 15 matches

 

[malakian]

One of these fine days we'll learn how to play leg spin.

 

[anakwalajinn]

I hope we can get the tail today, so di buoyz can bat a bit :nj

 

[JibranAnsari]

One of these fine days we'll learn how to play leg spin.

The day that will never come.

 

[WiiiCKET]

Some Pics of Match so far.

 

[ahamedirshad123]

Eng are effectively on a day 4 pitch here - good for the POMS

 

[WiiiCKET]

 

[WiiiCKET]

Should give Raza some rest. bring back Fast.

 

[shahrukh619]

Raza hasan is dissapointing , only has 34 wickets in 15 matches

exactly! Danish Kaneria was the best spinner this season, but he was ignored.............

 

[Ahson8]

One of these fine days we'll learn how to play leg spin.

I believe you Still think England are gonna whitewash us?

 

[shahrukh619]

One of these fine days we'll learn how to play leg spin.

Don't worry, we don't even have a leg spinner in our test squad

 

[carbon11]

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.

 

[Amjid Javed]

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!

 

[talha3]

Cook seems to be in fine form.

 

[ahamedirshad123]

Kanpur, Delhi, Kolkata, Chennai .. Can't wait !

 

[Asif321]

Yasir shah is killing english

 

[talha3]

Don't worry, we don't even have a leg spinner in our test squad

Woah woah hang on there, let's not disrespect our secret weapon

 

[shahrukh619]

Woah woah hang on there, let's not disrespect our secret weapon

He would probably get 2-3 overs.

Still remember that Sanga wicket

 

[Down2Earth]

talha always bowls at 90mph and that's in first class cricket. in odi's he'll get upto 94mph

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

 

[malakian]

I believe you Still think England are gonna whitewash us?

Probably yeah. Pakistan are no good at facing spin either.

 

[Ahson8]

Come on I want more wickets

 

[talha3]

talha always bowls at 90mph and that's in first class cricket. in odi's he'll get upto 94mph

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

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

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

 

[Down2Earth]

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.

 

[carbon11]

Probably yeah. Pakistan are no good at facing spin either.

Hint younis, misbah and umar all quality players of spin, infact younis and misbah are better at playing spin than pace.

 

[Arfan Shafiq]

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.

 

[Arfan Shafiq]

and a dropped from talha




Mohammad Talha to Cook, no run, hit back to the bowler, dropped, casual effort really.

 

[malakian]

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.

 

[carbon11]

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.

 

[talha3]

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.

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.

 

[Watsupdoc]

Yaar get Cook!

 

[Down2Earth]

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

 

[WiiiCKET]

Talha needs to do something with his No-balls

 

[Amjid Javed]

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!

 

[ali bubba]

Anyone got the score?

 

[Bashira_taeli]

Who is the 5th bowler?
Is it Fawad

 

[Bashira_taeli]

Anyone got the score?

England XI 173/5 (55.0 ov)

 

[SOSami]

England's two best / most reliable batsmen stepping up again. Prior's record in rescue acts is immense.
