Pakistan v England | 2nd T20I | Dubai | 25/2/12 | England Innings

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan loosing the plot.

 

[tauseefm]

Bairstow is just playing cricketing shots and scoring over 200+ rate. Amazing batting!

 

[adnan yasin]

10 from the over shaabaash

 

[Sledger]

Good move bringing Malik in as can't afford cheema to bowl 4.

Why not? He's a good yorker and slower ball bowler. Malik is just useless and his offbreaks are Kevin Pietersen level nowadays.

 

[Watsupdoc]

Why the heck is everyone bowling around the wicket

 

[mohimran]

I DONT UNDERSTAND THIS, we can get another wicket and get them really in trouble....and yet Malik and Afridi bowling

 

[Saudi]

Samit Patel milking the bowl better than most of our batsmen.

 

[Justcrazy]

Each run is vital, 160 not easy to chase.

 

[Sledger]

Cheema on now. I would have bowled Ajmal now and saved him.

 

[Iffitheking]

Just when Afridi got wicket Shoiab "Friend of Misbah" Malik came took to pressure off England...

 

[Watsupdoc]

Cheema back in...

 

[saeed-sohail]

Cheema replaces the Ishtaar.

 

[DOOSRA95]

Malik move still conceded 10 runs now Cheema back

 

[iZeeshan]

Aizaz back on to bowl

Hammad will NOT be bowling today. That's a fact.

 

[talha3]

Why not? He's a good yorker and slower ball bowler. Malik is just useless and his offbreaks are Kevin Pietersen level nowadays.

I guess so. Here come Cheema, let's see if he can get those 2 types of ball right.

 

[Watsupdoc]

Get ready for some Phainty!

 

[pak4life]

cheema needs to mix it up

 

[saeed-sohail]

Dot ball.

 

[Watsupdoc]

Aizaz back on to bowl

Hammad will NOT be bowling today. That's a fact.

He's playing as a specialist fielder mmad

 

[Sledger]

Excellent tight bowling. :cheema

 

[adnan yasin]

good to see england having faith in a youngster throwing them in

baristow is a talent to watch out for in future ...

give him few games he will prove his worth

 

[I Believe in the Teesra]

Wonderful length by Cheema!

 

[Watsupdoc]

Well bowled Cheema! Now don't mess it up.

 

[Sledger]

Now a slower ball for a leg bye. Not picked.

 

[talha3]

Great 4 balls from Cheema, proving me wrong. Can he finish well?

 

[usmiunique]

Need to get Barstow!!

 

[ManaFan]

AJMAL SHUD HAVE BOWLED TO TRY TO TAKE ANOTHER WICKET.

Thats where Misbah is missing the trick, he needs to be a bit more attacking.

I DONT UNDERSTAND THIS, we can get another wicket and get them really in trouble....and yet Malik and Afridi bowling

Yep

 

[DOOSRA95]

Even if the over from Cheema is 7 or 8 it will be like the spell from Junaid last match , some thing like 36 plus runs conceded.

 

[I Believe in the Teesra]

Lol his slower ball is prob his best one. Very hard to pick.

 

[adnan yasin]

Wide

 

[Sledger]

Wide.

 

[Watsupdoc]

Undone's all the good work

 

[Sledger]

Comes back with a dot ball. Homing in on the stumps.

 

[adnan yasin]

Did ECB chairman also came to watch the matches ?

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan have depth in Batting will need to be positive from start.

 

[I Believe in the Teesra]

Aizaz "The Runrate Killer" Cheema

 

[Sledger]

Undone's all the good work

By bowling one wide? Seriously?

 

[Sledger]

Make that two wides.

 

[adnan yasin]

Another wide

 

[Watsupdoc]

Wide again

 

[DOOSRA95]

wide again by Cheema bowl a slower one

 

[Justcrazy]

 

[Sledger]

Very fine over.

 

[pak4life]

cheema seems under pressure all the time

 

[Hamxa89]

They can practically hit anywhere and take a single

 

[Watsupdoc]

By bowling one wide? Seriously?

Yes! In a T20 a wide can make the difference!

 

[talha3]

Based on that over, don't bowl Afridi all out and bowl Aizaz instead.

 

[cricketpassion]

Good over by cheema

 

[Sledger]

Should Cheema bowl out instead of Afridi?

 

[adnan yasin]

94/1 in 12 overs

 

[Justcrazy]

94 / 4 from 12 overs.

 

[xkalibur80]

Pak needs to wrap England up under 135 - anything over 140 will be hard to chase down

 

[Sledger]

Ajmal on, single taken.

 

[saeed-sohail]

Eng will get a winning score here. 150+.

 

[Justcrazy]

8 overs England will get 60 - 65 runs

 

[talha3]

Bowl a doosra Ajmal!

 

[Sledger]

Just three singles so far. Good start.

 

[Sledger]

3(4)

 

[Justcrazy]

: looks tensed.

 

[qaiser]

Anything over 140 would be tough to chase with our tuk tuk batting

 

[Hamxa89]

Obsession with the leg side bowling continues for Ajmal

 

[I Believe in the Teesra]

: looks tensed.

That's his calm face.

 

[Sledger]

Quality over by Ajmal.

 

[adnan yasin]

99/4 in 13 overs

 

[Sledger]

Just cannot believe people wrist slitting already. I know Pakistan don't like to chase but honestly chill out.

Cheema replaced by Afridi.

 

[Hamxa89]

Anything over 140 would be tough to chase with our tuk tuk batting

says hi!

 

[insaftak]

that singer

 

[CalculatedRisk]

Afridi has not made make a significant impact with his bowling in the odis and t20s

 

[adnan yasin]

short stuff by afridi .. single to deep cover

 

[insaftak]

that singer

 

[Hash]

Fantastic couple of overs for Pakistan.

England need to get a serious move on here. They are in serious trouble because Gul will come back and Ajmal still has two overs. Not sure where their runs will come from.

Pakistan in command.

 

[DOOSRA95]

still 26 overs of the match left.

 

[adnan yasin]

short stuff by afridi again .. and slapped for

deserved

 

[Sledger]

In the gap for four. Afridi going for plenty today.

 

[Noman]

hmm. what is afridi bowling today.. bowling too short here and fast???

 

[pak4life]

afridi short again smacked for 4.

 

[saeed-sohail]

If this guy is the best bowler we have then we are doomed.

 

[DOOSRA95]

Bairstow is taking LALA to the cleaners

 

[Sledger]

Lucky to get away with that, legside again.

 

[Justcrazy]
