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

[Looney]

AFRIDI is back

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

in. lets see

 

[sarmadsl]

Lala is back only hope

 

[MuqaddarKaSikandar]

likely target 284/8 ... pakistan to chase 285.

 

[Asif321]

Lala ...........

 

[sarmadsl]

No wickets

 

[ninjafirstslip]

Hafeez
azhar (at least he can field)
younis
misbah
akmal
hammad
malik
adnan (trial by spin requires proper keeper!!!!!!)
saeed
gul
rehman

 

[DOOSRA95]

let boom boom do the bowling job

 

[chui_kadoo]

Amazing display by England so far. These two are batting very well indeed. Seems like Bopara is picking the spin very well.

 

[Phool]

Next game
Rehman in for Malik ... (proper bowler - would do better than malik in bowling certainly and could bat a bit)
Hammad Azam in for Riaz ...(decent batsman and medium pacer - can't do much worse than riaz in bowling and proper batsman at no 8)

So then....Team for 2nd ODI
Hafeez
Farhat (Azhar ali preferred but won't happen)
Shafiq
Younis
Misbah
Afridi
Akmal
Azam
Rehman
Ajmal
Gul

What do you think ?

Farhat should be replaced with Azhar.

 

[adnan yasin]

England back on track now

for 270

 

[adnan yasin]

England back on track now

for 270

 

[sarmadsl]

Lala is swinging too much

 

[dhump]

3rd fifity coming on just 47 balls.

 

[chui_kadoo]

150-2 after 32. Great platform is set now

 

[Asif321]

150 UP

 

[Hamxa89]

This is England guys!! Come on.. They aren't going above 250..The choke is just around the corner

 

[chui_kadoo]

Bopara should be picked for tests in SL.

 

[dhump]

It will be not bad for a change to win a game while batting positivly so good chance for batmsan.

 

[Pak_Power]

Malik's bowling looks so ordinary, easy singles available!!!

 

[sarmadsl]

Milking

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

This is getting boring, Everything going right in England's way

 

[chui_kadoo]

Malik better perform with the bat today. He has been pretty useless with the ball

 

[DOOSRA95]

Pakistan pace bowling in Odi's has gone down hill, so much for Aaqib javedas coach.

 

[dhump]

hahaha Moon bhai just scared the crap out of Bopara.

 

[Pak_Power]

He should've thrown the ball there was a chance!!

 

[style_guru]

Seems like Malik is in trouble while delivering the ball.

 

[Iffitheking]

Stupid captaincy of Misbah.. why removed Afridi from Attack.. when he was bowling beautiful... he could have taken Bopara's wicket..

 

[Asif321]

sania showing aggression :cheema

 

[Sherlock]

No atmosphere on the field or in the crowd. Dire game.

 

[sarmadsl]

3 overs of lala remaining

 

[adnan yasin]

England 153/2 in 32.4 overs

RR 4.67

Cook 86 (101) Bopara 43 (60)

 

[imshally81]

Is 270+ gettable ????

 

[ninjafirstslip]

misbah has become very predictable and england came prepared. spin on flat odi decks is not that hard misbah.

 

[chui_kadoo]

 

[imshally81]

:4

 

[chui_kadoo]

100 partnership up

 

[adnan yasin]

 

[Sherlock]

Looks like a 100 for Cook coming up.

 

[imshally81]

another :4

 

[chui_kadoo]

oh dear. Poor in the field again

 

[Zamee]

Misbah never attacked them !! Wierd field placements

 

[Sherlock]

280

 

[ninjafirstslip]

Is 270+ gettable ????

our elongated batting order will not get that total. We bat till 8 but still duck at chasing

 

[chui_kadoo]

Afridi struggling against Cook

 

[dhump]

this is not good at all boundries comming regularly 2 in a row.

 

[Asif321]

cooooked

 

[adnan yasin]

Afridi now becoming expensive

 

[sarmadsl]

Fours

 

[Asif321]

another oo la la

 

[leatherface58]

well done cook but fair way to go.

 

[Iffitheking]

100 Partnership... good going... 300 within sight...

 

[Phool]

Already two four in Afridi's over

 

[style_guru]

Afraid left with only 2 overs and the game is just 34 overs old. Trouble ahead for Pakistan with succesive fours

 

[bforme]

can any body jinx Cook??????

 

[adnan yasin]

3 Toooooooooooo short deliveries by afridi

come on lala .... ur standards are higher then this

 

[Phool]

Afridi should come over the wicket

 

[chui_kadoo]

very expensive over by Afridi.I would bring him back after Cook gets out

 

[CalculatedRisk]

this is for all those who thought pak will easily crush eng. international cricket is not a piece of cake.

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

Cook gonna score century. bet

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Bopara was plumb out when he was on 2 Stupid Umpire.

 

[adnan yasin]

Batting power play is about to come

 

[Sherlock]

malakian will come running back soon )

 

[sarmadsl]

Afridi being murdered now we need some faster ones frm lala

 

[chui_kadoo]

lala expensive today

 

[dhump]

Bopara was plumb out when he was on 2 Stupid Umpire.

this is part of the parcel when you waste review on half anf half selfish decisions and Hafeez is calling for those regularlly.

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

300 anyone?

 

[style_guru]

Mirza bowling within his limits

 

[chui_kadoo]

169-2 after 35

 

[dhump]

and actually ajmal,gul,wahab are very ordinary during the last 2 ODIs nothing special at all from them by far.

 

[Hassan0987]

Batting powerplay is on, team meeting going on, who should bowl?

 

[sarmadsl]

Poweplay

 

[cricfan4ever]

need 3-4 wickets in PP

 

[Looney]

England 's next coach ? :vicky

 

[Pakhtoon_Rules]

Ajmal should bowl

 

[chui_kadoo]

Bopara was plumb out when he was on 2 Stupid Umpire.

Should blame Hafeez for that. Why did he waste a review. It was clearly not out. Cant blame the umpires there

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

powerplay taken.

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Mirza has done well to stop runs SO FAR.

 

[Hassan0987]

Ajmal to bowl

 

[adnan yasin]

England 169/2 in 35 overs

RR 4.82

Cook 97 Bopara 47
