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

[dhump]

PP can backfire too so lets see I hope this one goes Pakistans way.

 

[adnan yasin]

England 169/2 in 35 overs

RR 4.82

Cook 97 Bopara 47

 

[style_guru]

Mandatory PP time.

Let the phainty begin

 

[imshally81]

Batting PP has been taken

 

[IAJ]

300 anyone?

Nope. Won't happen. They will not even reach 250!

 

[chui_kadoo]

Need a collpase now

 

[ash 68]

why is everyone so gloomy

I want to see Pak chasing 270-280, with Afridi at 8 we have depth

 

[IAJ]

Batting PP has been taken

They don't have much choice now

 

[imshally81]

100 for cook

 

[Hassan0987]

100 for Cook, bad ball first up

 

[chui_kadoo]

Ajmal too short today

 

[adnan yasin]

100 for Cook

fantastic innings

 

[Iffitheking]

here is a wicket time... Power play...

 

[chui_kadoo]

100 for cook

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

100 for cook

 

[sarmadsl]

100

 

[Justcrazy]

Cook 100 up

 

[Asif321]

100 By COOK

 

[style_guru]

Well played Cookie

 

[chui_kadoo]

Very dissapointed with Ajmal today. I expected much better from him

 

[Proud To Be A Pakistani]

Well done Cook :100

 

[Looney]

Ajmal was brought on only after Hafeez finished his quota . Should have brought him in earlier and saved Hafeez 's couple of overs .


100 for Cook . Well done .

Great for my fantasy side but he can get out now or England will have this in the bag .

 

[adnan yasin]

short short short

 

[iRfaN_LA]

tough times ahead.

 

[Justcrazy]

100 out 175 .... what a knock

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

isn't the ball bouncing way to much ?

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan might end up chasing 280 here.

 

[Hassan0987]

Lol @ Gul

 

[Looney]

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

 

[style_guru]

If England get anything less then 275 here, it'll be shameful for them. The platform is all set for a good score.

 

[Justcrazy]

14 overs left ........ England can get another 90 here.

 

[chui_kadoo]

Umar Gul diving in installments. LOL

 

[leatherface58]

100 for cook. well done! that should shut them up.

 

[Looney]

Just as the commie appreciates Pakistani fielding , there is a bit of a misfield )

 

[sarmadsl]

Wahab should bowl

 

[Justcrazy]

back

 

[chui_kadoo]

Gul needs to deliver here

 

[Hamxa89]

Oh! Pathetic fielding

 

[Asif321]

Gullllaaaaaaaaa

 

[Sharingan]

I don't understand why they're not getting any wickets? Is the pitch that flat?

 

[ninjafirstslip]

what a classy hundred. Openers are so important to the game but we still don't grasp that...

 

[Hassan0987]

Bowl those yorkers

 

[Justcrazy]

annoyed at no reverse here

 

[style_guru]

Come on Gullybaaz

 

[saeedhk]

At least 260 is on the cards

 

[ads101]

what an innings off cook. Guy has really improved his ODI game, scores big and at impressive strike rates now.

England doing well, only consolation is that they are scoring at a run rate of less than 5 (though just barely). Malik actually might come in handy today with the ball, looks like riaz isn't at his best.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan need tight overs and couple of quick wickets.

 

[Phool]

Why the run rate is not going down?

I was wondering why Misbah so far has failed in this match to stop the batsmen from going for singles and twos? Either the bowlers are not being able to bowl according to the field placements or Misbah has not set attacking field to put the pressure on the batsmen.

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

I see 280-290 here.

 

[Hamxa89]

Gul looking to pitch it up.. Good to see.. just needs to get the line right

 

[sarmadsl]

Match is soo boring

 

[Justcrazy]

Andy Flower must be pleased with this batting here

 

[Sharingan]

Why is pakistan not getting any wickets??? What is going on?

 

[Looney]

i miss Razzaq , always provided us with a breakthrough

 

[Hassan0987]

This outfield is lightning quick

 

[chui_kadoo]

Gul hammered

 

[Justcrazy]

280 minimum here.......... Pakistan have there task cut out.

 

[Hamxa89]

Even the crap shots are going for four

 

[imshally81]

:444

 

[DOOSRA95]

England are taking Pakistan to task here.

 

[Phool]

Captain innings by Cook

 

[GLORY OF '92]

We are in trouble here. Been very flat today and our chasing isnt the best.

Farhat. Malik are not exactly players who add depth IMO

 

[Hamxa89]

w.t.f Gul?

 

[Love Pakistan]

Batsmen are batting good today! Especially Cooka

 

[JellyBro]

so who's a better ODI spinner; Abur Rehman or Saeed Ajmal?

 

[sarmadsl]

Gul some yorkers

 

[Asif321]

cooked

 

[Hassan0987]

50 up for Bopara

 

[chui_kadoo]

50 for Bopara

 

[Justcrazy]

speaking about razzak ......... his batting.

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

50 for bopara

 

[style_guru]

Gul

 

[chui_kadoo]

Rehman needs to come in next match.

 

[cricfan4ever]

will need :umarakmal and special to win today with the bat ...

 

[ninjafirstslip]

) what a phainty we are in for. England win by 70 runs. Part time keeper when your bowlers are spinners and two absolutely atrocious passengers to boot. School boy fielding the cherry on top. Pakistan you deserve the loss.

 

[Phool]

Batsmen are batting good today! Especially Cooka

They have been batting so comfortably.

 

[Pakhtoon_Rules]

Gul is such an inconsistent bowler.

Been playing for 7 years and still s***

 

[leatherface58]

gul the greatest bowler from sc? you gotta be kidding me.

 

[Asif321]

50 to bopu

 

[style_guru]

Mirza IMO should be bowling here. He has kept it tight today.
