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

[Iffitheking]

I see some one run out...

 

[kkmix]

Is Umar Akmal capable of facing new ball?

 

[ash 68]

Good performance by England so far today, Cook and Finn the stars.

Cook's a hugely underrated ODI batsman.

and Ajmal dont forget

anyones match

 

[shehzi]

very difficult now to win BUT watch out ... its a LONG batting LINE UP

 

[Justcrazy]

needs to score at least 70 here.

 

[chui_kadoo]

Too right Ramiz having a big go at Wahab. Justified criticism. Just compare him to Finn who also hasnt played for a while

 

[Strike!]

Solid in defense.

 

[Hassan0987]

3 runs, misfield by England

 

[ninjafirstslip]

farhat is such a phattu player. Does not like playing the new ball even though he is an opner by trade.

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

I can't believe people are panicking already. Guys, we still have Farhat out there!!!

hes the next one to go, his father in law wont be able to help him.

 

[12cavalry]

donkey

 

[Amjid Javed]

Good performance by England so far today, Cook and Finn the stars.

Cook's a hugely underrated ODI batsman.

I think cooks averaging nearly 40 as a batsmen since playing ODIs again in 2010 and his strike rate is around the 85+ mark so hes done well in adapting his game.

 

[DOOSRA95]

Shambolic Samita patel

 

[Hassan0987]

Good over, 7 runs from this over

 

[t_kaay]

dont worry guys, ramiz raja will soon be off commentary and we'll get back to scoring runs...the guy is a jinx with his negative vibes

 

[Seen Sheen]

Early 140's.

 

[Justcrazy]

20 /2 after 5

 

[Maher96]

Farhat needs t mke most of it. Hes not gna b there long anyway.

 

[Maher96]

Yk looking good.

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

dont worry guys, ramiz raja will soon be off commentary and we'll get back to scoring runs...the guy is a jinx with his negative vibes

yeah a proper manoose.

 

[Watsupdoc]

What a start for Pakistan!

 

[Justcrazy]

The pitch is pretty good, just need to stay there, find the gaps runs will come.

 

[ash 68]

21/2

looking better panic over

 

[DOOSRA95]

me Think Farhats no is with Anderson

 

[Britstani]

What a shot from farthat....well played and missed lol

 

[taqi]

looking good

 

[Maher96]

Farhat playing selfishley as usual.

 

[Inswinger]

Farhat playing selfishley as usual.

What do you want him to do at this point?

 

[Inswinger]

Does Asad usually bat at 3 in domestic cricket?

 

[DOOSRA95]

2.2


Finn to Asad Shafiq, OUT, and another one! A similar ball, a touch fuller, seaming back into Shafiq's front pad. The bat was nowhere near the ball and he was rooted right in front of middle and off. Finn has started like a train!


Asad Shafiq lbw b Finn 0 (1b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00

2.1


Finn to Mohammad Hafeez, OUT, 142.7 kph, Finn strikes early, beating Hafeez's chop and thumping into his pads. He was stuck on his crease and though he thought about reviewing, that looked pretty plumb

 

[Hassan0987]

23-2 after 6 overs

 

[t_kaay]

dunno why the negative posters on here seem to have given up....its still a run a ball and even younis and misbah can manage that.....they use their heads and we can do this still

 

[ninjafirstslip]

farhats batting is sooooooo ugly.

 

[kungfu90]

Lower order with Umar and Afridi needs to step up. These 2 and Misbah can provide a quick fix though.

 

[ninjafirstslip]

misbah cant face the new ball, send in jnr next.

 

[Justcrazy]

23 / 2 after 6 overs......... run rate moving down .

 

[Maher96]

Wattta shoot!!

 

[Hassan0987]

Excellent shot from

 

[Watsupdoc]

Shot! :4

 

[Seen Sheen]

Shot!Driven down the ground for FOUR.

 

[Phool]

Younus khan is a big player and he has faced a lot of situations like this in his career.

 

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

Crunching drive by YK, class.

 

[kkmix]

Younis looking good here ... will get a hundred for sure.

 

[Justcrazy]

:4

 

[Asif321]

yk

 

[DOOSRA95]

YK is showing the likes of Hafeez and co don't just plant your feet to incoming delivery, play with your bat in v.

 

[Seen Sheen]

Smart!Made Morgan throw at the stumps.

 

[Rana]

younis khan loves England

 

[Hassan0987]

Out

 

[CalculatedRisk]

you need good test class players in our odi team. If the openers keep on faltering I wouldnt mind testing azhar ali in the top 3 positions in odi

 

[Watsupdoc]

Finn destroying Pak here...

 

[Maher96]

Collapseee on maan.

 

[iZeeshan]

Wow, that's just unfortunate

It's Finn's day.

 

[Seen Sheen]

[Hassan0987]

Another one gone, good bowling by England

 

[kkmix]

Younis looking good here ... will get a hundred for sure.

[farsiddiqui]

[DOOSRA95]

[Majestic_Inzi]

[adnan yasin]

Deep trouble

Long batting can help us or not ?

 

[iZeeshan]

No worries, only 85 short

 

[chui_kadoo]

[DOOSRA95]

pak will score in this match 145.

 

[James]

Finn is fantastic! Brilliant stuff.

No luck involved, just quality fast bowling from the outset.

 

[Seen Sheen]

Got a good one.

Captain walks in.

 

[castortroy]

England could of scored 180 and we wouldn't of chased it down. Our batting is seriously Pathetic.

 

[t_kaay]

[Britstani]

[Asif321]

 

[Watsupdoc]

Captain solid comes in

[iZeeshan]

The Savior, The Quaid, The Malik-supporter, is in - All Hail Misbah

 

[chui_kadoo]

Wahab this is how you bowl. Watch and learn

 

[Inziquicksingle]

Younus khan is a big player and he has faced a lot of situations like this in his career.

Only to fail consistently (ODIs).

 

[greekscavenger]

Look on the bright side guys.

Farhat is still in

 

[Watsupdoc]

Finn is fantastic! Brilliant stuff.

No luck involved, just quality fast bowling from the outset.

Why wasn't he playing in Test matches?

 

[iZeeshan]

I really wouldn't blame the batsmen though, they've played well

Just fantastic bowling from Finn - not much you can do about it
