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

[Amjid Javed]

There will be competition between Masood and Shezzi.

Masood is a joke a batsmen and shouldnt be considered ever again.

 

[Strike Rate]

C'mon that that looks like out misbah was attempting a shot and did the acting later for umpire.

 

[Mamoon]

The secret to our success in the UAE has been winning the toss.

 

[Fallen King]

Malik has done nothing in england , he averages 8 there and in good number of innings. We will again go to england after 5 years so no need to screw up a tour keeping a batsman who can't do jack in english conditions. No need for assumptions here , we have results from his past. Hafeez is another one who needs to go.

You make it sound like we have couple of don bradman. He hasn't played Test format for more than five years in UAE, and people already thought he would choke, but instead he feasted on the top quality bowling for two days.

We don't know what the future has in store for Pakistan cricket. Judging by the form Malik is in, isolating him would be unwise knowing the alternate options such as Misbah, Azhar and Asad are eager to treat dead track as landmine.

 

[Fallen King]

There will be competition between Masood and Shezzi.

I would prefer Shan Masood. Shehzad just refuses to improve his technique due to his arrogant.

 

[Mamoon]

England need Wood and Stokes back. They have the pace to breach this shake defense.

 

[ViciousMachine]

Only 3 runs behind now, great partnership so far, taking us close to safety

 

[Pete Rose]

How can you not bowl bouncers on a 5 day pitch? some will get up some will hit the batsmen

 

[Amjid Javed]

4 for msibah and pakistan are 1 run ahead.

 

[Barragan]

ramiz

 

[Mamoon]

Sweep dot

Sweep dot
Sweep four

Wonderful cricket.

 

[taqi]

how does he not know ball touched fence ?

 

[ExplicitAI]

Just don't get out guys, go for the draw and inflate your stats

 

[uberkoen]

Back in the lead!

 

[Amjid Javed]

reverse sweep and 2 for misbah

 

[Mamoon]

Moeen is rubbish.

 

[ViciousMachine]

Into the lead we go!! GO PAK!!!

 

[Abdullah]

Still a dangerous predicament. England are a double strike away any time in next 2 hours n they r there.

 

[Pete Rose]

Pakistan take the lead, pressure on England

 

[JibranAnsari]

if england can get us out in the next 25 then they can win easily.

 

[Mamoon]

Another close call.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Interesting field set.

 

[imshally81]

Draw on the card

There is 0 pressure on England here given the expectations since day 3. It's all on pak!!

you sure?

 

[#GreenRoars]

What is wrong with Misbah? He is playing like it is first time he played at home in day 5.

Not first, but may be last time

 

[Sam1]

Alot of close calls against some slightly dodgy looking batting but nothing quite taking the wicket yet.

 

[#GreenRoars]

close call i guess

 

[#GreenRoars]

Haha hit him on the head

 

[JibranAnsari]

If england with same field with moeen in the next match , younis wont be able to score.

 

[Amjid Javed]

YK trying to injure or kill bairstow )

 

[James]

Should have reviewed that LBW, looked out to me straight away.

 

[uberkoen]

'Misbah taking a fancy to Moeen Ali"

It's been a draw since day 1.

 

[Adil_94]

Moeen getting good revs on the ball. He could do well in Dubai on a more spin friendly track. If England win the toss in dubai and rack up 500-600. They will win for sure.

Not out.

 

[Abdullah]

you sure?

Y is there pressure when all n sundry have slated the wicket and u r in a position where u can not lose and the other team has retreated into its she'll and has it ALL to lose. U weren't expecting England to keep them under 75 all day we're u?

 

[Pete Rose]

The sweep shot has always been pressure release for YK

sure, i was fibbing

 

[ExplicitAI]

So it seems that Misbah won't average 50 in Tests after all

 

[uberkoen]

That was weird.

They won't get 500 vs Yasir on a more responsive surface.

 

[Mamoon]

Anderson throws the towel, literally.

 

[Abdullah]

What time did bad light happen yesterday

 

[Pete Rose]

yes, finally a bouncer

 

[Haroon786]

Anderson using underhanded tactics.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Misbah couldnt believe that he found a gap.

 

[Adil_94]

Cook is the key he is englands glue we get him early and then its a different game. But of Cook sets his stall and bats long. Rest of the team can bat around him.

Yasir will nab him.

 

[JibranAnsari]

plum LBW.

 

[uberkoen]

 

[Haroon786]

That looks plumb.

 

[Abdullah]

I'd give I at least couple more. He may by the wicket

 

[uberkoen]

Not caught behind.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Gone

 

[uberkoen]

Looks like he's gone.

 

[JibranAnsari]

He gave him out caught ..LOL

 

[Haroon786]

Not out.

 

[Barragan]

The umpire gave him out caught, not out.

 

[JibranAnsari]

What a stupid rule.

 

[uberkoen]

What the hell happened here? LOL. Lucky lucky Misbah

 

[Haroon786]

He gave him out caught ..LOL

Needs to take the specs off.

 

[aukhan]

Lucky misbah

 

[Adil_94]

What a stupid rule. England have every right to be aggrieved.

[Haroon786]

Misbah now to reach his 100 in 80 balls.

 

[Adil_94]

Misbah getting lucky his reflexes are going. He should retire at the end of the series.

Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk

 

[JibranAnsari]

Misbah should rightly retire after this series. He is clearly not the player he was.

 

[Adil_94]

If that happened to us when we were bowling we rightly would feel unfairly done by.

Hmm so when the bowling side gets a 'not out' and reviews to try and get the decision in their favour it will be reviewed for a potential dismissal on any grounds, but when the batting side reviews against the umpire's specific 'out' decision then different rules apply specific to their 'out' decision which only they know what it was for. Bizarre, and inconsistent to say the least.
