Pakistan v England | 1st ODI | Abu Dhabi | 13/2/2012 | England Innings

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan need to get things right here, field settings should be right ....... must cut out the angles here.

 

[Strike!]

Ajmal bowling too short now.

 

[cricfan4ever]

has totally forgotten how to bowl those yorkers

 

[Justcrazy]

has to hit a 50 here today.........

 

[greekscavenger]

From Cricinfo:

Anyway, we've established one thing for certain: the only way is Essex for England.

That TV show is utter utter crap )

 

[sarmad1983]

any links guys? if you cant post here, can someone PM me??

 

[leatherface58]

275-280 should be good for england. send kieswetter and swann to slog and if it pays off they might sneak upto 300.

 

[style_guru]

Drinks in the middle of a PP??

Good for Pakistan as England was getting away with the game. I wont be surprised to see a wicket fall after the break.

 

[Down2Earth]

gosh this is a tough one, ermm maybe because they're scoring at a healthy rate?

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

How is supposed to go down when you are not stopping singles, missing stumps and wasting a review as earlier as in 3.4 overs.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan would be lucky to restrict them within 280 here.

 

[Looney]

Cook and Bopara 's partnership has been the difference but also the guy with the best ER should have been saved for another spell

 

[Hassan0987]

Gone. Stumped!

 

[imshally81]

ttt

 

[ads101]

Might be interesting chasing a big total, want to see how our guys do. Sri lanka was a lot of small total chases. Plus all of our batsmen will probably have to bat, nowhere for anyone to hide.

 

[chui_kadoo]

bopi gone. Yes

 

[IAJ]

This is a real good wicket for batting. I back Pakistan to chase down any target England set

 

[Justcrazy]

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Nice one idone

 

[greekscavenger]

At the 43rd over Bopara and Cook should just start smashing them and if they get out, Morgan and Kieswetter come in

 

[Hassan0987]

Good work by Ajmal and Umar, should look to take more wickets now, and restrict England

 

[adilmomin]

They will score 280-300. And I will be DAMNED if Misbah doesn't seem to change the batting order according to situation. Push up Umar Akmal if the RR is at 6 or something rather than you come in and block block

 

[Looney]

throw it away after your 50 come on Bopara i know you can do it

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS THANK YOU

 

[chui_kadoo]

dangerman morgan in next

 

[leatherface58]

ajmal strikes. bopara throws it away. again.

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

 

[Asif321]

idone

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan need more wickets here, and tight overs.

 

[Hassan0987]

Morgan is in, Ajmal take him out

 

[leatherface58]

the morgan will struggle vs the ajmal.

 

[ads101]

Bopara out.

Decent innings by him though.

England's best ODI batsman in now.

 

[Justcrazy]

Morgan is a walking wicket.

 

[MuqaddarKaSikandar]

We all know who you mean ...

Anyone else feels I should bet some $$ in future?

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

Dive man dive

 

[chui_kadoo]

morgan off the mark

 

[Hamxa89]

Lucky escape for Morgan

 

[Justcrazy]

That was almost gone.

 

[Phool]

How is supposed to go down when you are not stopping singles, missing stumps and wasting a review as earlier as in 3.4 overs.

Very true. It would have made a great difference.

 

[chui_kadoo]

190-3 after 38

 

[Hassan0987]

Good over from Ajmal

 

[ash 68]

what a ridiculous thread

do you expect Pak to keep all teams down below 250 in every single match?

flat track

 

[Justcrazy]

Morgan will struggle here.

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

 

[Hassan0987]

Edge and four, no slips

 

[imshally81]

:44

 

[chui_kadoo]

 

[Justcrazy]

England will struggle now ... new batsman would struggle.

 

[chui_kadoo]

cook flying

 

[Phool]

Ravi Bopara has played his role.

 

[Justcrazy]

Need to get cook out here.

 

[style_guru]

If Morgan remains for 5-6 overs, I can see him troubling the bowlers with his unorthodox shots. But only if he remains..

 

[Asif321]

edge

 

[Justcrazy]

RR is above 5 now !!!

 

[Phool]

Morgan can be very dangerous.

 

[ninjafirstslip]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS THANK YOU

LOONEY BHAI!!!!!

 

[leatherface58]

gul is doing everything he can to release pressure from the other end.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan need wickets that is the only way to bring RR down.

 

[adilmomin]

Let's hope Pak bowlers in last 10 overs can be like Indian bowlers in last 10 overs yesterday. Restrict to 260-270.

 

[Phool]

situation will be very difficult for Pakistan if the target of 250.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Wonderful captain knock so far today by Cook.

One of our batsmen is going to have to do the same later.

 

[Hassan0987]

Good over from Gul, one over remaining of the powerplay

 

[ads101]

We all know who you mean ...

I know )

I wish Malik the best, but don't like him being carried as a passenger at seven. If he can show to score big at seven and perform for us there, then great. We're not going to see him batting much unless it's a big total, or we collapse chasing a small/average one.

 

[Justcrazy]

Not out !!

 

[Justcrazy]

11 overs to go ........ pakistan need to get it right here.

 

[ads101]

Pakistan need wickets that is the only way to bring RR down.

I'd bowl 10 overs from all our spinners even Malik today. Our pacers don't look good today, England just want to look to hit them.

 

[chui_kadoo]

 

[imshally81]

ttt

 

[Hassan0987]

Out! Given LBW, review taken

 

[Looney]

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

He's out, Review wasted

 

[chui_kadoo]

review. maybe missing

 

[imshally81]

decision review...

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Reviewed it

 

[imshally81]

should be out

 

[style_guru]

Morgan wasting deliveries. Ideally, Pak would want him to stay there and waste few more

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Looks out to me

 

[chui_kadoo]

gone. Morgan flops again

 

[Hassan0987]

Tried to play a pathetic shot, reverse sweep gone totally wrong, out LBW

 

[insaftak]

what a dumb review!
