Pakistan v England | 1st Test | Abu Dhabi | Oct 13-17 | Day 5

[Aman]

England to resume 569/8 in 50 minutes time.

How big of a first innings lead can they take?

 

[#GreenRoars]

I hope no drama in the end.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Dammit england declare. You stil have an innings left

 

[Sam1]

Dammit england declare. You stil have an innings left

Not worth it really, might as well just let these 2 who are capable carry on rather than run the bowlers into the ground.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan would be disappointed here

 

[Justcrazy]

This kind of pitches destroying test cricket and ICC is just sleeping

 

[#GreenRoars]

Adil Rashid will get his debut fifty?

 

[Justcrazy]

Daud: "Drop Shan Masood, let Azhar open with Malik at no. 3. Problem solved. Oh and make Michael Klinger the batting coach." Simples

[Justcrazy]

when will England Declare ?

 

[#GreenRoars]

Dammit england declare. You stil have an innings left

They want to punish Pakistan bowlers

 

[#GreenRoars]

when will England Declare ?

May be when 10 wickets down.

 

[Justcrazy]

is one dimensional bowler , should not be playing on these pitches.

 

[#GreenRoars]

, that was a good delivery

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Good ball imran

 

[Asadullah]

Brilliant inswing. IK can be handy for tail with his wicket-to-wicket bowling

 

[Justcrazy]

Nine down

 

[#GreenRoars]

1 more to go, come on IK make it 3

 

[Justcrazy]

Adil Rashid will get his debut fifty?

No . he has to wait for next test

 

[Asadullah]

Slips+keeper need to come forward. Its not first day, ball is taking 2nd bounce way ahead of keeper

 

[#GreenRoars]

Come on man, end this

 

[#GreenRoars]

So, it's not out

 

[Asadullah]

#unluckybabar

 

[#GreenRoars]

England declared?

 

[blackanhyellow]

can we see a pakistani century today?

Hafeez maybe or shoaib again.

 

[Asadullah]

Chalo shukar, England declare.

Trail by 75

 

[Asif321]

england can try to dismiss pakistan for 150 then chase target in last 1.5 hour

 

[Robert]

Ha ha, England have declared! They reckon they can win! )

 

[Couch Cricketer]

can we see a pakistani century today?

Hafeez maybe or shoaib again.

Would love to see Malik hit another century. With about 80 overs to go we bat have to bat at least 50 overs with this being the 1st match of the series expect us to shut the doors. Personally I would like to see us score 300 in 50-60 over and put Eng to bat for 20 overs again.

Batting order should be:

Shan
Hafeez
Misbah
YK
Sarfraz
Shafiq
Zulfiqar
Malik

The rest.

 

[Square Drive]

^ Only for this innings, that is.

 

[Strike Rate]

Jimmy looks frustrated he wasn't in the mood to pad up and bat but cook didn't declare yesterday evening and not even in morning today so he had to come to bat lol

 

[Asadullah]

English slip fielders too close, thats more like it.
They are quick learners

 

[Strike Rate]

Is there any cloud on sky? jimmy should find it

 

[Strike Rate]

This Barmy Army and their singing

lol nah just bat the day out get some net practice.

There is no point declaring with 20 overs on a pitch like this.

 

[Dman]

Which song is the English fans singing ?

 

[Asadullah]

No swing for "best bowler of earth"

 

[#GreenRoars]

Aggressive field set

 

[Strike Rate]

No swing for "best bowler of earth"

Management trying to find some clouds but on success yet.

 

[blackanhyellow]

No swing for "best bowler of earth"

He is an exceptional bowler.

Yes when conditions suit him he gets it to swing corners.

But he is also extremely accurate and a very smart bowler.

That being said people are hard on him just because he does really well in English conditions.

He is an exceptional bowler but he is no atg or legend.

 

[Sam1]

Which song is the English fans singing ?

Jerusalem originally, technicallyy the national anthem for the team hence a few of the players singing along.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Dear team, no drama please

 

[Strike Rate]

A more short and less complicated statement would be, "Jimmy wasn't excited with Cook's decision to declare just when he came out to bat"

sorry i am not that good in explaining stuff and here comes the first wicket

 

[eradicator]

Same sort of dismissal for Masood

 

[Sam1]

This barmy army singing is so annoying, why can't these fat old bald men give it a rest

You prefer listening to the birds tweet I guess...

Masood not having the best of tests.

 

[#GreenRoars]

What the hell

 

[Pete Rose]

I would like PakiStan to be dismissed for 180 or something and leave England 20 overs to chase. As fans we deserve this after wasting our time for the last four days.

 

[Aviator]

This masood is a joke in the name of a cricketer....
Throw him out of team...

 

[#GreenRoars]

Pakistan team and Drama are directly proportional to each other!

I wished no drama and here we go

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Dammit shan what was that

 

[#GreenRoars]

I would like PakiStan to be dismissed for 180 or something and leave England 20 overs to chase. As fans we deserve this after wasting our time for the last four days.

And who will win?

 

[eradicator]

GONE. Malik Gone

 

[Pete Rose]

And who will win?

It's 50/50 but a tantalizing enough prospect to hope for.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Oh come on what the hell is going on

 

[blackanhyellow]

If we lose this I will cry.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Fans were complaining that this is boring test, so Our team thought to give you people some entertainment

 

[marlonbrowndo]

What is happening pakistan!

 

[eradicator]

Younis Khan will also not stay for too long , I sense.

 

[Uzair Gooner]

Lol collapse coming!!
Remember someone said that Malik is a better test batsman than Asad

 

[Ozymandiasza]

What are you doing?!

 

[Robert]

Don't worry, Clouderson can't take wickets in Asia.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Up to younis now. Bug responsibilty on younis, misbah, hafeez and shafiq. Hope sarfraz comes as late as possible

 

[eradicator]

Malik is a chicken under a hint of pressure.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Mr. Consistent will save us IA

 

[m.shah]

Pak in trouble

 

[waleed88]

Aahahahahahaaha Malik dismissal was comedy

Are you underestimating your bowlers?

Actually if YK and Hafeez can settle this down a bit, Id love it if Sarfraz came in next and upped the score rate.

If we can get a lead and take time out of the game at the same time England cant win.


But if we just put shutters down and get out to freak dismissals without scoring england wont have to chase much.

Pakistan and the habit of converting boring matches into interesting only to troll fans

Dude batted for 420 balls. Bowled for 35 overs. And fielded the rest of the time. Had to be put on IVs.

Maybe he was just exhausted?

He has an average of 100.

His fans will not accept this.

They are used to his high standards loll

This sort of excuse doesnot cut it at the top level.

Getting bounced out with a 79 mile ball shows his level.

Over cautiousness has always let us down.

 

[dashing_man]

I think we might still lose this one

 

[#GreenRoars]

I hope no more wickets till the end of the day

 

[blackanhyellow]

Younis looks scratchy. Not good signs.

 

[dashing_man]

isn't that a good thing for neutral point of view :cheema

 

[zabalestmsm]

Smash the ball. End the trail amd take at least 100 runs lead till the end of the second session. Dont be stuck. Tuk tuk wont help.

 

[eradicator]

I sense a wicket around the corner, infact a couple of them .
