[JibranAnsari]

Lol is imran express? What you smoking rameez?

 

[#GreenRoars]

Whattay century by Cook

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Sad to see even english commies are bored

 

[JibranAnsari]

I said on day 1 let's call the series a draw, play some charity games for the local labourers and save the bowlers!

Its only the first match.. abudabhi is usually batting friendly ,5 doubles in 8 matches. Dubai and sharjah will challenge england. Get ready for it.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Cook is already an ATG

 

[zabalestmsm]

No signs of reverse swing. While Wood was swinging it impressively.

 

[Arsal_AK]

Rahat has been even more toothless than Babar.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Lol is imran express? What you smoking rameez?

At least he bowled better than other pacers tbh.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Cook is already an ATG

Welcome back bro

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Hope dubai pitch isnt as disgraceful and sickening as this

 

[#GreenRoars]

Sad to see even english commies are bored

They are bored since day one

 

[Mamoon]

We are finished as a bowling unit. As usual putting all our eggs in one basket.

First it was the chucker Ajmal and now its Yasir.

Compare our pacers of yesteryears to the ones we have now. An absolute disgrace.

Our fast bowling legacy is in tatters.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Pakistan have gone up well in the ODi stats,but still Legendary Misbah's hasn't changed a bit

 

[JibranAnsari]

Zulfis last match i guess.

 

[Asif321]

no wonder malik made 245

 

[Mamoon]

Babar should be on pension now. Stop blowing hot air in your palms, it won't work.

 

[Robert]

England RR still below 3, such a shame, new ball is due in 20 overs and they're still playing safe.

They are doing just right! Avoid the follow-on first, then press on a bit as the shot-players come in down the order.

Cook now has eight test centuries in Asia, level with Kallis as the most by a non-Asian.

And most of Bell's centuries have come when someone scores one up the order from him, so that is a good sign......

 

[JibranAnsari]

On a pitch where malik can score a 200 ,you know that it has to be dead.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

This test is putting pakistan to shame

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Cook is just amazing. Best ever at leaving the ball

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Soo happy to see talented youngsters getting chances again and again :zulfy

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Ball not even reversing at all...

 

[Mamoon]

Rahat has awful body language and attitude. Lazy and uninspiring.

 

[world cup captain]

Why not give Malik a few overs again? Can't be worse than Zulfi.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

On a pitch where malik can score a 200 ,you know that it has to be dead.

You forgot someonelse

 

[JibranAnsari]

Well cricinfo for me for the rest of the day.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

How were we not able to get bell out!! He looked like a tailender

 

[Mamoon]

We have been lucky to have won plenty of tosses in recent times in the UAE. We have been exposed when we have batted second.

We have overhyped our success.

 

[m.shah]

Zulfikar can't take a wicket even against England now

 

[Asif321]

our next test series is against NZ in Nz ????

 

[Mamoon]

Only way things can get worse than this is for Junaid to get a chance ahead of Rahat in the next match. As bad as Rahat can be, he is still better than Junaid of recent times.

 

[MarkCooper]

I don't think a spinner has taken a wicket in the entire match yet have they? Astonishing!

 

[GreenKnightRises]

The moment Pro survived Anderson and Broad the first 10 overs, I knew where this Test will be headed

 

[#GreenRoars]

I don't think a spinner has taken a wicket in the entire match yet have they? Astonishing!

So far nope.

 

[Arsal_AK]

On a pitch where malik can score a 200 ,you know that it has to be dead.

Not to mention Hafeez's 96 as well.

I have said it before; if Hafeez can score a ton on a said pitch, anyone can.

This is the flatest I have seen Abu-Dhabi look since 2011. The ideal track would have like the one vs Aus.

Im guessing England fast bowling is also in tatters then, since they didn't pick up wickets here ?

 

[Mamoon]

Who will get Root out on this wicket.

 

[Arsal_AK]

our next test series is against NZ in Nz ????

Eng in Eng.

 

[Pakcricket89]

Azhar Ali is an even bigger mediocre close in fielder, Shan is head and shoulders ahead of him when it comes to catching.

Azhar is a very good close-in fielder, Shan is garbage

 

[#GreenRoars]

Bring back IK Missi

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Give the ball to imran...

 

[Mamoon]

Im guessing England fast bowling is also in tatters then, since they didn't pick up wickets here ?

They are proven performers except Wood and had two dropped catches + a dismissal on a no-ball. Broad, Anderson and Wood were more penetrative than Wahab, Rahat and Imran.

You know things are bad when your first-choice attack is Wahab, Rahat and Imran.

 

[Robert]

Eng in Eng.

Which grounds, do we know? That could be significant. Manchester and the Oval will probably suit Yasir.

 

[Arsal_AK]

Babar and Rahat in tandem.

How did this happen??

 

[#GreenRoars]

Have some mercy on Zulfi dear Missi

 

[JibranAnsari]

You forgot someonelse

Yah hafeez as well , shafiq can score on difficult pitches as well.

Amir will be back and Mir Hamza is waiting in the wings.

Let's not forget Rahat bowled a beautiful spell of swing bowling in SL not very long ago.

 

[Mamoon]

Let's not forget Rahat bowled a beautiful spell of swing bowling in SL not very long ago.

Rahat will never be consistent.

 

[Mamoon]

This is good net practice for Bell.

 

[Watsupdoc]

And now Pakistanis are complaining about the pitch? )

 

[Robert]

This is good net practice for Bell.

Facing a moderate attack on the roadiest road in the history of roads.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan bowling exposed.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Misbah Zulfi per rehem karo yaar

 

[Mamoon]

We are a 5th/6th ranked team at best. Nearly half of our team is below par.

 

[Asif321]

Eng in Eng.

allright

 

[GreenKnightRises]

still can't get the wicket of out of form Bell

 

[#GreenRoars]

Seems close

 

[Robert]

And now Pakistanis are complaining about the pitch? )

It might still break up on the last day, you never know. England could get 700 and force a win by an innings

 

[Asif321]

outside line ?

 

[Asif321]

i think its out

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan need quick wickets.

 

[Big Mac]

That looks like it's hit him in line with off.

 

[Asif321]

missing oh god

 

[#GreenRoars]

Woooow?What??????????

 

[MarkCooper]

"this is a great review from Pakistan.... WOW MISSING" - Bumble

 

[Mamoon]

What on earth?

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Waste of review ??

 

[The_KING]

This is the flattest wicket ever. I don't think Yasir would have been effective on it either.

 

[Cricket lover 27]

Amir will be back and Mir Hamza is waiting in the wings.

Let's not forget Rahat bowled a beautiful spell of swing bowling in SL not very long ago.

Tbh Amir in his short career averaged in the 40's in his only tour to SRL so he is unproven in SC conditions.

 

[Watsupdoc]

It might still break up on the last day, you never know. England could get 700 and force a win by an innings

This is a draw for sure, but I am surprised that people who were complaining about England whining about the pitch, are themselves whining now

 

[#GreenRoars]

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Damn

 

[Big Mac]

Waste of review ??

Get them back with the new ball in thirteen overs.

 

[majiz]

curveball strikes again

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan attack looking toothless.

 

[taqi]

good thing is Eng innings don't have any momentum two quick wickets what we need

 

[Asif321]

dangerous IK

 

[Justcrazy]

by cook.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Look on twitter how much people are joking about his match. Embarrassing stuff from pakistan. This is worse than losing
