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

[Swaraj!!]

How about getting Hafeez back for a spell......he might nudge Morgan out....

 

[ZAK]

50/5.

 

[Desi]

LOL waqar vs. atherton in the com box, HILARIOUS
"hope it's not playing on their minds that england has never won in asia before..." says waqar

this has been so worth the wait

 

[TV Umpire]

Give Hafeez an over before lunch

 

[ninjafirstslip]

why is hafeez in the slips?

 

[Justcrazy]

I would love to see England all out for 100 , and Pakistan making them toil hard for 2 days

 

[qaiser]

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

LOL, youngsta trolling.

why would you not hope such a good thing

 

[Fire Bird]

England looking like deer in headlights )

 

[Sledger]

Time for the Teesra again methinks.

 

[ads101]

Get some pace in before lunch, see how they play it. Both these guys are just going to play out until lunch now, they're not taking any risks against the spinners. Change things up, keep one end spin the other pace.

 

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

Where's Whippy?

 

[PakPosheeda]

Get.

Hafeez.

In.

For.

Morgan!!!!

 

[Justcrazy]

:kaneria / Raza Hasan would have been lethal here.

 

[amjad145]

KP boring more than Trott here......very unlike KP

50 up for England.

probably the last 50 f the english innings

 

[Fire Bird]

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

I think only this pair has a chance. Others will crumble.

 

[ZAK]

Why do England have to have the only sober Irishmen in their tem.

 

[Sledger]

He's not bowling enough offspin.

 

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

Bring on Gul before lunch, pepper em'

 

[Justcrazy]

Prior is in top form .

 

[Zamee]

Morgan looks comfortable. Bring on the Hafeez

 

[TV Umpire]

why is hafeez in the slips?

YK has a slight finger injury, his right pinkie finger is taped up, IIRC

 

[Sledger]

Hafeez to Morgan plz.

 

[cricfan4ever]

getting the lower order + tail out has been our weakness, can't take the foot off the paddle, need to finish them off now !!!

you beauty !!!

 

[ZAK]

51/5.

 

[Justcrazy]

3 for 5 ............. what a spelll.

 

[Sledger]

51/5. England racing along.

 

[NJamal]

51/5

 

[amjad145]

bring haffez on

 

[ZAK]

Hafeez comes back in to the attack.

 

[talha3]

Hafeez for Morgan. Good thinking again.

 

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

Professor on

For Morgan

 

[Zamee]

yes hafeeeez!! Amazing captaincy by misbah

 

[Justcrazy]

[pakbl10]

Last 10 ovs 9/3 RR 0.90 lol

Hafeez on now.

 

[Asif321]

51/5 ......

 

[Sledger]

Misbah hasn't set a foot wrong. 100% right decisions in this session. Here's Prof.

 

[Swaraj!!]

Hafeez in now....get Morgan

 

[khanz141]

Hafeez to get morgan, you heard it here first

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

Time for the Teesra again methinks.

Was kp ball the teesra? If not than which one was teesra??

 

[ZAK]

MBA has done a fantastic job of rotating the bowlers.

 

[Sledger]

Stay in school kids. Maybe one day you'll be carrying MBAs in reducing world number ones to 50/5.

 

[Zamee]

Is misbah reading this thread

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan have kept the RR also down.... that is good.

 

[NJamal]

Feeza to bowl last over before lunch.

 

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

Can't wait for the next session

 

[Zamee]

Was kp ball the teesra? If not than which one was teesra??

yup kP got out to teesra

 

[Sledger]

Was kp ball the teesra? If not than which one was teesra??

All bowls Ajmal has taken wickets win have been the teesra.

 

[I Believe in the Teesra]

Misbah has become a mind-reader.

 

[ZAK]

Don't get too greedy now, Waqar.

 

[Syed Ali Imran]

most prolly the last over before lunch..

 

[qaiser]

cheema would have been better

 

[Asif321]

Good captancy as usual by :MBA

 

[Zamee]

Prior looks solid

 

[Strike!]

That will be lunch.

 

[Sledger]

Lunch. Decent session for Pak.

 

[Zamee]

[jattafridi]

[ZAK]

Lunch.

52/5.

 

[insaftak]

misbah making all residents of tukmenaistan proud

 

[Justcrazy]

I hope Pakistan come back after lunch fresh , and get the tail also, cannot let the tail wag too long, England have a strong tail. Though Bresnan is not there.

 

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

Lunch

52 |5 | 28

RR 1.86

 

[LethalSami]

Not a single no ball. Just saying

 

[Syed Ali Imran]

52/5 at Lunch, Day 1. Excellent effort by Misbah and co and Ajmal is the warrior..

 

[NJamal]

52/5 England, Lunch Day 1.

 

[Asif321]

Lets have LUNCH Billy

 

[akamaka]

An alright session for Pak, picking up 5 english wickets for 52. meh easy work

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan need to maintain the pressure ........ they must have a plan for tail enders.

 

[Fireworks11]

Lol what a wonderful start.

 

[jusarrived]

Englands lower order has bailed them out very often ..Pak need to be careful here .

Good chance to get them out for a sub 100 total

 

[talha3]

Bob Willis when England are poor, just a delight to listen to )

 

[ZAK]

Lets see what Bob has to say about England's performance so far. This will be interesting.

 

[Genghis]

What a phenomenal scorecard at lunch. Have we seen the theesra?

 

[Fire Bird]

What is the teesra though is it like the flipper from . If so whats the big deal. England just pwned themselves here. LOL

 

[velu]

for english

 

[Love Pakistan]

What a dream start it has been for Pakistan! We should end them before 100 now! I will check the score in the morning now! I hope we get a good lead! Bye guys! Have fun!

 

[Paradox]

Decent session for Pakistan, although India could have done better. Vinay Kumar would have wrecked through England by now.

 

[ninjafirstslip]

lol there is no teesra. Just excellent bowling.

 

[jattafridi]

Matt Prior have 44 batting average

 

[easy_like_sunday]

[akheR]

Ian Bell went for a duck, ICC player of the year's 50% of runs came through lucky edges and Cook scored 3...
