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

[uberkoen]

Never try to act smart without knowing the fact, or you 'll be exposed. Last 5 Test in Shiekh Zayed has 4 results & the only draw was due to 2 of the most defensive Captains, otherwise that match also had 1st inning scores of 200 & 380.

I don't understand why stupid people gets caught like this when one can easily check the score. For you convenience

http://stats.espncricinfo.com/pakis...atch_results.html?class=1;id=1965;type=ground

um. I'd suggest you look at your link again. After this match it will be 4 draws and 4 results. 50% of the games in the ground are likely to end up without a result. I said more than half, I was wrong but still 50% is rather high.

Next time, have a look at what you're posting before your posting it. It might save you some embarrassment.

[Pakcricket89]

24 overs left in the day we need to bat atleast 12 more and score 30-40 more runs

 

[ExplicitAI]

Just do tuk tuk pls

 

[shaz619]

Misbah - what the heck was that?

Misbah was looking to accelerate; the plan was for him and Sir Fraz to get to 150 in 7 overs and put in England in giving Pakistan 20 overs to bowl them out.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

I guess it's good to say that Pakistan have lost the plot

England about to go 1-0 up

25 overs to get 4 wickets

 

[Ozymandiasza]

Not feeling very confident now.

 

[razabbas]

Sarfraz wapis bacha la yaar bhai hoga

 

[Hawkeye]

If we lose this from here, it is thanks to this stupid shot by Misbah.

the burn inside that you were waiting so long to hold, had to come out . ) )

Match is saved by now. Thank him rather than "DROP MISBAH" ) .. you hate him so much you want him dropped.

 

[Abdullah719]

How many ACTUAL overs left?

26 is the official number.

Actual overs is always lesser due to lights.

I'm guessing approximately 19 maximum.

 

[Jabo]

Ĺol

If we lose this match it will be hilarious

Geez, how the hell did they get into this position

 

[Pakcricket89]

"drop Misbah"

Match is saved by now, he can go home.

Match is not saved by now, Our tail is pathetic, and Target can easily be something like 110-115 in 17-18 overs which is easily chasable

 

[Abdullah719]

"drop Misbah"

Match is saved by now, he can go home.

More than an hour left with a long tail and a lead of 84. Really?

 

[Mamoon]

Misbah choked again. Awful shot.

 

[the Great Khan]

Uh oh. We need to somehow kast another hour to prevent eng from having enough time to bat..can we make it??

 

[Hawkeye]

No, at max 12-15 overs will actually be played - Tail is there, plus England batmsen will have to come out get padded up, IF pak gets bowled, there won't be any daylight left.

 

[aloo paratha]

If the lead is more than 100 then we could have ab Abu Dhabi 2012 repeat!

 

[Asif321]

wahab is crucial if he goes other 3 will go in over

 

[Pakcricket89]

I'm guessing approximately 19 maximum.

Depends on umpires they can continue playing if there is a possibility of the result

 

[Bullet Drive]

Why does Misbah always choke?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

 

[theariezman]

Unthinkable is well in reach for England.

Just do tuk tuk.

This test isn't so bad after all am really enjoying my Saturday afternoon hehehe

 

[Hawkeye]

Misbah choked again. Awful shot.

After saving the match. For how long were you waiting to come and speak this line? Holding it up inside, for an opportunity?

Choking is a duck that was scored today.

 

[Watsupdoc]

Misbah was looking to accelerate; the plan was for him and Sir Fraz to get to 150 in 7 overs and put in England in giving Pakistan 20 overs to bowl them out.

I must say that was a genius plan. Unlucky that the ball moved in the air - there was nothing wrong with the shot.

We on for another Pakistan v England and light situation ?

 

[Adil_94]

So nervous right now.

165-6 on a placid pitch

 

[shaz619]

Who's birthday is it? ) the crowd were singing hapi bday it to someone

 

[Bullet Drive]

Dumb shot. Misbah retire now please

 

[Pakcricket89]

23 more to go, if we get overs under 15 we can be fine

 

[Adil_94]

Only Pakistan would lose this from.here.

I thought you were done with this test series?

 

[The_KING]

Wahab's technique is so unusual

 

[the Great Khan]

Actually it will be about 112 in 10-12 overs.. we need to ensure the tail gets another 40 - 50 runs somehow. This series is like 2001..must draw this natch to allow yasir and azhar a chance in next one.

 

[shaz619]

It stayed a bit too low as well

 

[Barragan]

Another one.

 

[Pakcricket89]

7 down

Draw 60% Eng 40%

 

[Bullet Drive]

Misbah you absolute moron. I'm shocked.

 

[Red Devil]

Dang another one down .

 

[Shafi]

Both England spinners are performing better than Zulfiqar. Such a shame

 

[razabbas]

Wahab too

so we are losing this WTH

 

[_Ace_]

Hilarious choke by Misbah.

 

[The_KING]

OMG

 

[Asif321]

what the hell

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Typical of Pakistan to do this, going to be an interesting finish

 

[aloo paratha]

[ExplicitAI]

***!!!!

 

[Watsupdoc]

What a genius plan from Pak. Get out for 120 and then get England all out for 72 :Ajmal

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Misbah's foolishness is now creating more problems.

 

[Abdullah]

When does light deteriorate

 

[Bullet Drive]

Choke choke choke.

 

[Hawkeye]

This is getting bad.

 

[castortroy]

Pak were undoubtedly going to bottle this

 

[ViciousMachine]

Oh my.... game on

 

[Big Mac]

Why does Misbah always choke?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Aren't you a fan of Junior Akmal? I'd have thought you enjoyed seeing batsmen throw their wicket away

I must say that was a genius plan. Unlucky that the ball moved in the air - there was nothing wrong with the shot.

Should have just waited for the inevitable Rashid long hop if they wanted to accelerate, no need for that type of shot.

 

[Mamoon]

I thought you were done with this test series?

Don't ask negative questions.

 

[Ahson8]

Looks like we're losing...

 

[James]

We still might lose while chasing lol.

Although we would probably take the bad light to avoid falling into a hole; likewise we might have to 'do a Karachi' to have enough time to get the runs.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Still very hard for England to win.

But its a decent chance to be honest.

 

[Adil_94]

Pathetic shot by Misbah. When you know our tail is the worst amongst top 8 why would you do that.

[ExplicitAI]

Just keep blocking and take the odd single

 

[Yossarian]

bad light yesterday around 17:45 pm
10 minutes between innings.
If the remaining 3 wickets last around another 15 minutes, this leaves around one hour, approx 13 overs, to get 90 or so. Doable.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Misbah should play for South Africa.

 

[Mamoon]

Lol at Misbah saved the match

 

[Deewana Mastana]

165-7

 

[Shafi]

Sarfraz should attack now instead of letting tail enders to play

 

[Adil_94]

Game over for Pak now. England hum ko bohot bhara maar deyn ge.

[sensible-indian-fan]

Moeen Bhai is tormenting Pak batsmen almost every ball.

 

[_Ace_]

That shot by Misbah was an Akmal level brainfade, if not worse.

 

[Watsupdoc]

Moeen looks like taking a wicket every single bowl

 

[Adil_94]

Misbah did a Misbah the nearly man job. Nearly getting us across the line but falling at the final hurdle.

[Deewana Mastana]

Can England chase 100-120 from 12-15 overs?

 

[Bullet Drive]

Zulfi on strike.

 

[Hawkeye]

The match is still saved. The absolute moronity on display here, few people were waiting and burning up inside while Misbah was trying to save the match and hit his match-saving fifty.

They're now out in full force. Yes, few nervous moments now, but there's no time left in the match and it is saved.

 

[Red Devil]

Sarfraz should launch a counterattack and score as many runs as possible.

 

[Asif321]

atleast sarfraz getting runs

 

[The_KING]

Why is Sarfraz giving the strike to Babar?

 

[90MPH]

Get a lead over 100.

Loving it, finally some entertainment in these last dying hours of this test.
