Pakistan v England | First Test : Day 1 | Dubai | Match Thread |

[VolcanicAsh]

Our first mishap, lets hope its not a ominous sign.

 

[Swaraj!!]

Oh No.....just when we were putting him up adnan goes and misses one

 

[hazen_batti]

Another Maiden over and England going nowhere

 

[TV Umpire]

Ajmal is issed:

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

Stumping missed.
But won't blame akmal
After all he has not dropped any catch chances yet.

 

[ninjafirstslip]

very touch chance

 

[Pak_Power]

tough chance though for Adnan

 

[Mcgrath]

just checked the score

HTBs

indians calling others HTB.. never thought i would see the day..

 

[ZAK]

So there are a few Pakistani's at the ground. I hear some 'jaldi jaldi out karo' chants.

 

[Strike!]

Nice chanting going on out there! cHEHTI CHEHTi out karo.

 

[Foozee]

Mushy's job in danger, england you cant play spin..

[Ambi]

[Asif321]

[qaiser]

oooo lucky morgan. Can't pick ajmal.

akmal neither

 

[Rana]

We deserve a lot of credit, only our bowling attack has tormented the No.1 Test side on numerous occasions!

 

[TV Umpire]

Shake it off guys, wicket will come soon

 

[reversesweep]

Somehow iam scared of prior

 

[Mcgrath]

pakistan killing the poms...

 

[Maher96]

Since bell is out thy calling morgan there best player of spin. Pathetic give credit where its due. Thy cant tke it we are better than them.

 

[Syed Ali Imran]

15 more mins to go in Lunch at Day 1, lets get 1 more...

 

[ddss]

Hahahahahhahahahahaha

 

[Proud To Be A Pakistani]

come on rameez stop helping them lmao

 

[ads101]

Surprised by England. These conditions don't even look good for spin. Wonder how england would struggle in actual spinning conditions.

Looks like perhaps though we're bowling well, their batsmen are rather rusty. As I mentioned to an English poster earlier in the warm up match, this Pakistan is a different side to Pakistan A. Just because you handle Pakistan's A bowling attack doesn't mean you'll do well against Pakistan's actual bowling attack.

Think England will improve later on in the series and probably next innings, so it'll be good if we can snatch an early lead here.

 

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

Stumping chance was a difficult one, more a half chance

 

[Proud To Be A Pakistani]

don't worry , about that miss , look ahead ... stay focused

 

[Ambi]

What is happening to no1 team

 

[Sledger]

Great arm ball!

 

[Rana]

What more can you ask for. Sessions like these win Test matches

 

[ZAK]

49/5.

 

[Sledger]

England make some runs!!!

 

[Swaraj!!]

Prior has to go next.....he cant block and he is trying to.....

 

[Digital]

It was a difficult chance...

 

[hazen_batti]

C'me on boys. make it 6 before lunch

 

[ads101]

Time to bring back some pace I think.

 

[qaiser]

gul ran like a 90 yr old lady

 

[khanz141]

Time for abdur rehman to get one

 

[jattafridi]

Batting gonna be easy after lunch we need 1 more wicket now

 

[Proud To Be A Pakistani]

one more before lunch will be cherry on the top

 

[Asif321]

chacha in crowd.... half of britan in pavillion

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

This has been sensational so far, long may it continue

 

[Sledger]

leading the war cries.

 

[Areesh]

[WithLoveFromCanada]

Guys Guys I just came home from a long drive!!!! Tell me which ball of Ajmal was teesra????? PLEASE PLEASE ....

[ZAK]

Misbah getting some well earned praise by the commies.

 

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

Misbah moving like a youngster in the field

 

[Rana]

Prior to face the sweet 'knee' music

 

[Sjaloha]

Good job by Pakistan.

 

[NJamal]

49/5

 

[ads101]

Batting gonna be easy after lunch we need 1 more wicket now

why will something happen over lunch.

Pitch is good for batting now. It's gonna be just as good after lunch.

 

[Strike!]

Ajmal bowling the teesra!!

 

[Fire Bird]

what are the odds for 75 all out. That would bring no.1 team down for sure. They sure cant blame this one on Broad injury

 

[qaiser]

that was teesra

 

[Swaraj!!]

Send Gully back to Lahore and get in Afridi OR any other spinner you have.....

 

[AnotherIndian]

England is making this pitch look like a mine field

 

[ZAK]

Maiden.

 

[Sledger]

On 49* now..

[Asif321]

[Syed Ali Imran]

Maiden from ajmal..

 

[amjad145]

[Proud To Be A Pakistani]

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

Counter Attackers, Defemse Counting

 

[Sledger]

what are the odds for 75 all out. That would bring no.1 team down for sure. They sure cant blame this one on Broad injury

Especially as Broad isn't injured.

 

[jattafridi]

what are the odds for 75 all out. That would bring no.1 team down for sure. They sure cant blame this one on Broad injury

england gonna make more than 300 just wait and watch

 

[ninjafirstslip]

will we get some hafeez on morgan action?

 

[Rana]

Brilliant start to the series, will certainly cloud over England's confidence for the rest of it

 

[qaiser]

so teesra is round arm malinga like delivery.
not sure what it's supposed to do.
maybe a yorker

 

[NJamal]

Another maiden by Magician

 

[Sledger]

LOL @ Morgan. What a hack.

 

[Proud To Be A Pakistani]

Where is malakian?

we all want to know that

 

[WalkingWiggett]

what are the odds for 75 all out. That would bring no.1 team down for sure. They sure cant blame this one on Broad injury

The lower order will probably attack. They have a chance to make 200+. nvir

 

[ZAK]

Eoin Morgan averages 20 against pace, 161 against spin in tests.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan should consider Playing Yasir shah .........

 

[NJamal]

50 up for England

 

[I Believe in the Teesra]

Is it me or is Ajmal making the ball sink? Teesra?

 

[ZAK]

50 up for England.

 

[qaiser]

bring back cheema for rehman baba

 

[Sledger]

50 up for England.

 

[Sledger]

"I hope it's not playing on their mind that they've never won in the subcontinent".

LOL, youngsta trolling.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan should seriously consider playing this attack in ODI :

 

[Asif321]

morgan in some compromising positions
