Pakistan v England | 3rd Test | Sharjah | Nov 1-5, 2015 | Day 5

[Justcrazy]

Rashid is doing a good job

 

[dhump]

There was bound to be a partnership of some sort somewhere , no need to be tense.

But Pakistan need to get out of job done mindset.

Adil Rashid faced 65 balls

 

[dhump]

Take the ball away from Malik for a while...need to plan for a wicket here properly.

[JibranAnsari]

Malik tired now I guess. Time for some wahab.

 

[Watsupdoc]

This partnership is frustating. Very frustating.

 

[blackanhyellow]

Rashid should definitely bat higher up the order next time England tour the SC.

England's third best player against spin and he is batting so low.

 

[Haroon786]

There is nothing elegant about Cook's batting.

 

[Justcrazy]

Solid partnership developing.

 

[JibranAnsari]

dangerous partnership

 

[Haroon786]

Why is Rahat bowling ?

Hasn't looked likely to take a wicket this innings, Wahab should've been brought on.

He is becoming Cameroon white

 

[Watsupdoc]

Adil Rashid faced 65 balls

To be honest he's batted the best apart from Cook.

We need to bring Wahab in.

 

[Strike!]

Why Rahat instead of Wahab?

These 2 have won the game for England

Brilliant Delivery

 

[Haroon786]

Lol spoke too soon.

What a nipper!

 

[Red Devil]

Aithe rakh!

 

[JibranAnsari]

adil goes

 

[Watsupdoc]

And out of nowhere he bowls a ripper

 

[dhump]

I wish he was able to produce these more often.

Because Misbah knew he would produce a wicket taking delivery [emoji14]

 

[Pantani]

Wow, England completely disintegrated in the morning session.

As long as Cook is at the crease though, I wouldn't rule them out from somehow scraping a draw.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Rahat ali , now runs will leak.

I told you may be a wicket, and here we go

 

[dhump]

1 down among these 2.

Some people here need to be slapped with daed fish on the butt.

They won't survive to Tea let alone another 2 sessions.

I dont see a draw now.

 

[Haroon786]

Yasir should be bowling from Malik's end.

 

[Haroon786]

I dont see a draw now.

There was never going to be a draw.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Misbahs wife doesnt look too happy next to maliks wife. #womenproblems

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Well played cook

 

[Haroon786]

Want Cook to break Tendulkar's record.

Well played.

 

[Pantani]

I dont see a draw now.

Overs remaining 60.2

Yeah, it is almost impossible.

 

[Watsupdoc]

Need to bring in Wahab and bowl bouncers at Broad.

 

[Pantani]

This is the first time in 87 Tests together that Cook & Broad have batted together. Jayasuriya and Murali hold the record of 90 Tests without batting together.

 

[Watsupdoc]

Zulfi in the attack - don't hibk he'll take a wicket though, but should keep things tight.

Broad will give him a LbW

Haha, 25 years old and studying in Egypt. And it's a calculated bunk. However mom still does not know I am bunking, though...

Bunk is bunk bro, no calculations possible. It was my dream to be prefect in school, but they never made me..

I still remember Broad's innings against us in 2010 in England.. Hopefully there is no repeat. England have a stubborn tail.

the reason was the spot fixing saga whole team was down and out specially our two gun bowlers asif and amir secondly this is UAE not england so chill

This one is calculated bunking one one of the classes which ends next week.

 

[LegbreakGoogly]

Congratulation pakistan.....

 

[Robert]

Don't get me wrong bro, I know what you mean; you should also understand what I mean

This is stupidity of the highest order to put a team like this & believe that these spinners are going to do anything against PAK batsmen. In one sense, Botham is correct - PAK indeed was confused, if not scared of Adil, other wise; 3-0 was written on the series had PAK gone for turners. I watched 2/3 ODIs last summer & thought that Adil is probably at per with our Zubair, PAK THICK Tank thought he was at per with Warne.

Anyway, any thought of team for SAF? This bits & pieces formula is not going to work. Fortunately for ENG, the wickets 'll be more favorable to their attack. What about this team
Cook, a specialist Opener, may be Balance
Bell (I still think, he 'll come good in SAF), Root, Taylor
Moeen, Stokes
2 of Wood/Berbi/Finn, Jimmy &
a WK.

The key take here is, the WK might bat at 11, but a proper one.

What do you think?

Concur on the keeper front. I'd bring Foster in as a stop-gap keeper while Buttler improves.

I'd drop Moeen and keep Adil because he can at least run through a side on the last day. Ballance can come back at #5 where he bats for Yorkshire. I'd keep Taylor. Maybe give Hales a go as opener.

The pace bowling is good, if they stay fit.

I think Boad scored his ton before Spot fixing scandal broke

 

[razabbas]

cook to carry bat ?

 

[razabbas]

*bat carry

 

[Watsupdoc]

Why isn't there a second slip?

 

[Eureka]

You are correct this was done in the innings where spot fixing occurred but the scandal broke the next day. So had Broad or trott been caught of a no ball then it would have been the case of Pakistan being defeated due to the saga but it came before anything had come in News of the World

 

[Justcrazy]

Good start by Poms

 

[razabbas]

out khaa gaya umpire phir

 

[Watsupdoc]

Not out - missed everything I think.

 

[Watsupdoc]

Why is Stokes going to bat? England shouldn't risk him

 

[Haroon786]

Cook still has the fishing outside off problem.

 

[dashing_man]

[MENTION=47617]Red Devil[/MENTION] you watchin

 

[Watsupdoc]

Good over from Wahab - unlucky not to get a wicket.

 

[Justcrazy]

Cook has to be given credit , solid batsman.

 

[zabalestmsm]

Broad means business.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Come on pakistan wrap this game up now and dont let england drag things out.

 

[Red Devil]

[MENTION=47617]Red Devil[/MENTION] you watchin

Yeah... Not going to miss this.

 

[Watsupdoc]

Runs leaking here...

 

[Amjid Javed]

This partnership is getting anoying now and we dont need broad gaining in confidence.

 

[Haroon786]

Poor from Yasir.

 

[razabbas]

ben stokes phir ready

 

[JibranAnsari]

We should attack more , why are there so many boundary riders.

 

[zabalestmsm]

Someone created a thread a while ago the title of which read something like this that Misbah will retire after this Test. The thread is no more now. But any information guys?

 

[Watsupdoc]

Wahab bowling at a good pace. Time to get broad out.

 

[zabalestmsm]

Its good that Broad is attacking.

 

[razabbas]

wow what an outfield girta he ruk gayi
