curator is from my city.no wonder the pitch is so gr8:108:


I must say the pitches in Dubai and Abu Dhabi both have been perfect for test cricket after that boring Pak vs South Africa test series. There is a bit in it for the spinners, pacers and batsmen.
 
The next 8-10 overs are the key here. If Pak loses one wicket, England shall make inroads into the lower middle order.
 
we need 150+ partnership between these two and atleast one or both scoring a 100 here! otehrwise its game over and 1-1 with decider to come.
 
Scoring at mighty 1.8 runs per over someone needs to tell them we cant draw this game
 
Mohsin khan should tell both these guys out there in a loving way they need to score 100s here!
 
So if he hasn't done it, how do you know he has the potential and the current players don't?

If Bangladesh hasn't had the chance to play in the up coming World cup yet, how can you say they wont win it and any other team will?
 
The last time Pak lost a series after being 1-0 up was against SL in 96. They lost 2-1. A lot of tension back then. :waqar :wasim

Both of them are not capable of playing such an innings specially if they keep blocking without any intent
 
the way they are going a ball will come with their name on it and they will have to go. not like there are 5-6 overs left in the day
 
imo this innigs is very key for shafiq if he can rescue pak then umar akmals return to the test team is done for a while, if not then i think we will see him in the 3rd test
 
Just like angry man Kohli in Adelaide this is a chance for azhar and Asad to show some fight and make a name for themselves.

You didn't answer my question.

What a thrashing by these batsmen - lead grows and grows!
 
Panesar the worlds 2nd best spinner after swan back in the attack...........well according to waqar
 
Asad Shafiq needs to play like this more often. I'm not saying he should just play strokes all the time but come on.. get at least 3 runs an over.
 
Asad showing some fight! now score a 100 like you should have in 1st inns!

87/4
 
Come on guys give them credit... this is a tough situation to be batting in. Shafiq must have gotten a lot of words for his dismissal in the first innings. Let them play according to the situation. At least they are getting singles now and a few boundaries here and there. Most importantly they are not throwing it away. We need them to stay there till the end of the day... while they are both still together, runs should not be our primary concern
 
both batsmen have got starts now.......time to seperate the men from the boys in our batting now
