[shahrukh619]

Bro, Cheema has done better then Junaid..............

 

[ads101]

damn it lost the toss.

Team is good, it's the one I would have picked.

 

[adnan yasin]

its good not to select junaid and wahab riaz....its a 4 match series

lets take a lead first ....then try your comeback players

 

[raff]

NO FARHAT!!!! unbelivable!

 

[talha3]

Had a choice of two good left armers in Wahab and Junaid. Gone with 2 right armers

 

[whyamir]

Lol is waqar and rameez commentating this game?

this is gonna be crispy....

 

[MVP26]

Cheema and Shafiq are gonna be exposed big time.

 

[cricfan4ever]

either we are in for a long day with phainty or we'll get them out cheaply, please let it be the latter!

 

[Friend786]

no junaid or wahab ? umar akmal ?

 

[Random Aussie]

Had a choice of two good left armers in Wahab and Junaid. Gone with 2 right armers

Mmm but neither of the lefties have played for some time no?

 

[Pak_Spin]

how long is the cricket hd stream gona be on for?

 

[CORNERED-TIGER]

its good not to select junaid and wahab riaz....its a 4 match series

lets take a lead first ....then try your comeback players

3

 

[Opener]

Poor team selection in my view. For some reason Sydney test comes to mind...

 

[kkmix]

Hafeez to Cook, OUT, Cook plays all around it, looks like it was the arm ball and it sneaked through between the bat and the pad to take the middle stump.

 

[adnan yasin]

if england score more than 350 game over for pakistan

Dude ... this is not english conditions where 350 is a confirm winning score and this is not old pakistan batting line up ... we are in form

 

[Justcrazy]

not in

 

[Ruri]

Ugh, no Jimmy first up. Oh well, 4 hrs of Cook,then bed for me.

 

[talha3]

its good not to select junaid and wahab riaz....its a 4 match series

lets take a lead first ....then try your comeback players

only 3 tests

 

[saeed-sohail]

Itna rola and they pick the same side.

 

[adnan yasin]

hafeez to cook, out, cook plays all around it, looks like it was the arm ball and it sneaked through between the bat and the pad to take the middle stump.

lol!!

 

[ninjafirstslip]

Why Cheema! you need a left handed pacer for strauss and cook.
We may loose on team selection alone!

 

[Friend786]

not too sure about aizaz and asad.

 

[shahrukh619]

lol Junaid is not special. Why were people expecting him to play. Cheema alot better

 

[Ruri]

No Junaid is stupid. No Riaz is smart.

 

[talha3]

Mmm but neither of the lefties have played for some time no?

True, which is probably why they've been left out.

 

[adnan yasin]

Why Cheema! you need a left handed pacer for strauss and cook.
We may loose on team selection alone!

CHeema will move the ball away ... he is a natural right hand inswing bowler

 

[Azlan Khan]

20 Mins To Go!

 

[Asif321]

cheema ahead of wahab junaid.. hmmmmmm hope it works

 

[Areesh]

Same side. No Junaid, No Riaz, No umar akmal.

 

[Swaraj!!]

No Riaz......that is a bit of excitement lost.

England are lucky to be batting first. Pitch will get slower and difficult to score later on. Who else thinks that with just 4 bowlers including just 1 spinner, England may have fitness issues.

 

[whyamir]

Wahab should have been chosen over cheema.....*** @ selectors

 

[Bashira_taeli]

Abdur Rehman...no

 

[saeed-sohail]

I will be watching first 5 overs and then off to bed.

 

[Asif321]

waqar not happy with misbahs decision of 2 spinners - says misbah is defensive and he showed it today
