Pakistan v England | 3rd T20I | Abu Dhabi | 27/02/12 | England Innings

[Azlan Khan]

1 Hour To Go!

My Team For Today -

Hafeez, Awais, Asad, Umar, Misbah, Malik, Afridi, Hammad, Gul, Ajmal And Wahab.

 

[shokz1408]

10 mins to go.. 10 minutes before the winner of match is decided. The flip of the coin will settle the game, the other 3 hours or so of cricket we will watch will be sole entertainment

 

[Maher96]

shameful act to declare Awais Zia unfit.

 

[shokz1408]

Why is nobody talking about this match yet Lol, I would have thought there would have been a fair bit of interest

 

[Maher96]

seems to be a way of running away from controversy by admitting to drop a player.

 

[shokz1408]

shameful act to declare Awais Zia unfit.

Oh dear... I don;t like the sound of that :/

 

[Zeeraq]

Its a T20 not an ODI .

 

[Mian Hassan]

Imran Farhat is playing i can feel it

 

[Zeeraq]

shameful act to declare Awais Zia unfit.

OH no, so that means Imran Farhat

 

[Mian Hassan]

which means Zia had only 2 games to prove what he is all about

 

[Zeeraq]

Really pathetic from whoever selects the Playing XI.

 

[Azlan Khan]

My Bad, Please Change The Title To T20.

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Ramiz and Waqar on straight drive, Waqar impressed with Hammad Azam.

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Waqar saying Zia has bad technique.

 

[pakcricketfan]

Zia is not fully fit - will go through a fitness test before they can decide whether he's going to play or not.

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Zia is not fully fit - will go through a fitness test before they can decide whether he's going to play or not.

unfit after just two T20s? thats just poor fitness.

 

[pakcricketfan]

England win the toss and elect to bat first.

 

[iRfaN_LA]

[Zeeraq]

So the chances of England winning rise up to 75%.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Pakistan team is unchanged.

[ss3samzy]

Pakistan Zindabaad Inshallah series win

 

[Afridirocks]

[Inswinger]

Maybe Team Misbah will surprise us here...

 

[ares1000]

chasing. its a done deal, probably.

Eng 2-1.

 

[AFG_Brit]

Same team for pak

 

[Sledger]

Pakistan will win.

The tide has to change sometime. Poor call by Broad to bat.

 

[ares1000]

all the ppl saying "gameover". No point in wasting 3 hours then, right?

I am watching 13 Days on my laptop and have cricket on too.

 

[whyamir]

Malik bats at #5 and Hammad at #8 according to ramiz at ten sports..

 

[pakcricketfan]

we did make a change lol AC for JK

No, Cheema did play the last game. So it's an unchanged side.

 

[WiiiCKET]

Different ground may help Pakistan. Had to keep England under 120

 

[Monty786]

O well...now or never for Pakistan! Only interesting thing was where Misbah-Ul-Haq was in the batting line-up. Afridi promoted. Hammad unchanged at least on paper so far.

I really hope Finn gets battered today! Oh plz! plz plz!

 

[amjad145]

yeah lets hope azam comes higher up. plus i think he will bawl today too.

 

[asadee]

easier to chase at Abu Dhabi than Dubai

 

[pakcricketfan]

kabhi achi khabar bhi de diya karo.

Pakistan can never chase.

Achi khabar for you: They didn't drop .

Pakistan will chase down the target, win the series and give a farewell gift to

 

[Pak_Power]

Very bad toss to lose for Pakistan.

Confidence to chase is really low at the moment and that gives England even bigger advantage at this stage...

Please prove me wrong and Win today!! INSHALLAH!!

 

[Inswinger]

Achi khabar for you: They didn't drop .

Pakistan will chase down the target, win the series and give a farewell gift to

Time to wake up

 

[Badsha]

Shoib Malik plays ahead of Hammad Azam. I don't even..

 

[Lala-Afridi]

wasn't all Pakistani players banned from using social media ?

 

[bforme]

long bunch of pessimists............
i know we are very bad in chasing but we shouldnt say that we have lost before there is not even a single delivery bowled!!
Absolutely not..............

 

[Badsha]

Mohsin Khan begging for a good job

 

[amirfanforlife]

We'll win this. :umarakmal

 

[violet_may]

So we are chasing..


England will put up 145.


First few overs of the game:

Hafeez will get out after facing 2 balls, Zia will follow suit.

Umar Akmal will make a short cameo (20 runs?), Asad Shafiq will do well but will face criticism for facing 4 dot balls in a row after a batting collapse.

Score: 35-3 after 4 overs.

 

[sarmadsl]

Pak will losse today

 

[Osama_B]

amir sohail asking mohsin a question. do u think pakistan can make it 2-1. mohsin gives a completely irrelevant answer talking about team unity.

amir asks him again...so do u think the team can make it 2-1.

[CalculatedRisk]

This is great. If Pakistan manage to chase, it will be a 'true' and morale-boosting victory.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Seriously guys...

we have to stop our negative mentality about chasing...


If we want to win the T20 World CuP again .. we need to have some good chases under our belt.

Pakistan should challenge themselves to chase down anything England post.

And Please guys .. I am backing our team to win this.. no matter chasing 120 or 170....

 

[VTEC]

Have faith boys have faith

Yeh Khel Apna hai Jaise Jazz apna hai.

Tired of this Ad but good acting.

Yup, agreed.

Although, I'll probably lose hope when we lose a few early wickets.

I am positive and confident ! mmad I think Hammad should be promoted up the order today.

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Yup, agreed.

Although, I'll probably lose hope when we lose a few early wickets.

I don't lose hope even if we are 9 down and need 50 runs.

Most Pakistani fans are backing the team. Backing the team, and Believing they can actually win are 2 different things.

 

[iZeeshan]

Hammad is going to finish the game today

Last time was just practice
