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

[ZAK]

Cheema.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan need one here .... right now.

 

[ZAK]

57/5.

 

[ads101]

England

Need to start counter-attacking, being completely strangled here.

nah. If they can absorb the pressure and play themselves in, the better. This pitch isn't difficult for batting, once you're set, difficult to get you out.

Good guys like Prior and Morgan reigning in their aggressive nature here for the good of the team.

 

[Sledger]

Big inside edge, just wide of the close catcher.

 

[Proud To Be A Pakistani]

tuk tuk just dont bat slow .. but make other team play slow too hehehe

 

[ZAK]

 

[Maher96]

Four to morgan.

 

[Syed Ali Imran]

Boundary to Morgan

 

[Sledger]

In the air and four.

 

[Justcrazy]

not a Test class bowler, he bowls too short

 

[Strike!]

Overpitched from Gul.

 

[Sledger]

Gul looks very lethargic today (bowling and fielding), hopefully he's fully fit.

 

[ZAK]

Single.

 

[Justcrazy]

is again exposed as a test bowler, why does not other bowlers are given chance.

 

[jattafridi]

bring hafeez

 

[amlafan79]

bowling in lower 130's//

 

[ZAK]

2 to Prior.

 

[Sledger]

Driven for a couple.

 

[Justcrazy]

is been missed

 

[PakPosheeda]

is again exposed as a test bowler, why does not other bowlers are given chance.

I seriously think every other bowler in the squad be it Wahab or Junaid or even Talha would've been a better choice than Gul.

I dont know why we've settled with this mediocrity in tests.

 

[ads101]

Seems like there's nothing there for Gul

 

[Amjid Javed]

Gul needs to bowl a few yorkers here! this is where he tends to fustrate as a bowler!

 

[Proud To Be A Pakistani]

one more ..... bring it on boys

 

[ZAK]

64/5.

 

[talha3]

Bumble )

 

[Strike!]

Bumble. )

 

[ZAK]

What a legend Bumble is.

 

[PakPosheeda]

Hafeez for Morgan please.

 

[saj001]

[I Believe in the Teesra]

Lmfao

 

[Maher96]

Hahshshahahaha bumble yaaaa legeend. Making kukr sounds.

 

[bladerunner]

[Looney]

[Sledger]

Doosra, played well off the back foot.

 

[PakPosheeda]

Bumble )

Bumble. )

What a legend Bumble is.

What did I miss?

 

[ZAK]

 

[Syed Ali Imran]

cut, four more to morgan..

 

[Sledger]

Cut for four.

 

[Justcrazy]

68 / 5

 

[Fire Bird]

Also, I don't understand Tremlett's selection tbh.

Tremlett >>> Andersen >>> Broad

 

[jattafridi]

angry morgan

 

[ZAK]

68/5.

 

[jattafridi]

morgan century maarey gha

 

[Sledger]

Ajmal is bowling poorly to Morgan. No offspinners - very predictable.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan should not let this game drift ........it would be a mistake, to let England score 200 here.

 

[Fire Bird]

LOL @ Irishman rescuing England. England sucks

 

[Looney]

Why is in the team again ?

 

[ZAK]

Gul to continue.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan come on ladsssssss!!! one more.

 

[Sledger]

Finally Gul pitches on up, well bowled. Inside edge for one.

 

[Strike!]

What did I miss?

A toy chicken was shown on screen and bumble wondered whether it was real or not, Proceeds to making chicken noises.

 

[Areesh]

Come on wicket boys.

 

[Sledger]

Mis-field.

Pakistan not intense post-lunch.

 

[ZAK]

Edit.

 

[Justcrazy]

69 /5

 

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

Morgan and Prior solid in defence

 

[Strike!]

What the hell Taufeeq. issed:

 

[PakPosheeda]

morgan century maarey gha

shub shub bol bhai, manhoos baatien naa kar!!

 

[shehzadd]

Big inside edge, just wide of the close catcher.

Why Umar Gul again and again for test matches. Tht was just his one performance in lahore against India. But we have such a fool selecters. After so many years this boy is still playing for pakistan like Sami.
Shabash Pcb.

 

[talha3]

Give Gul maximum one over after this.

 

[NeVerMind]

Maybe time for Hafeez to bowl at Morgan?

 

[ZAK]

Lands safely.

 

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

Oof that was close, good ball by Gul

 

[Syed Ali Imran]

Good one by Gul, not carrying to the man on the boundary..

 

[Sledger]

Good surprise bouncer, almost carried to the man.

 

[Justcrazy]

Partnership 28 ......

 

[ZAK]

73/5.

 

[jattafridi]

shub shub bol bhai, manhoos baatien naa kar!!

jis tarah woo khel raha hai paka century maarey gha

 

[Swaraj!!]

Patience........ keep sticking and do not back off and there will be a wicket.....for god's sake do not ease off on the pressure. Genius has done its bit, and patience will have to chime in for the rest.

One thing every captain should have learned by now is that boundaries are OK, singles and twos are not.

 

[Syed Ali Imran]

73/5.. Ajmal needs to break this partnership.. Pakistan stands on the excellent chance to pack up English innings well under 150 top max.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan must remember ....... broad scored a TON against them.....

 

[PakPosheeda]

Maybe time for Hafeez to bowl at Morgan?

It was time for Hafeez to bowl to Morgan the moment it was established that he's a lefty. Misbah persists with useless Gul.

 

[Justcrazy]

A wicket is essential.

 

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

Need a wicket, soon

 

[shehzadd]

This Gul must not be playing. For last couple of years he is not deserving to play test matches.

 

[ChampLeO]

maybe time for Hafeez from one end and Cheema from another

 

[Sledger]

75/5.

 

[Maher96]

Need to be patient not every session will be like the first.

Teesra still not t be seeen why?

 

[ZAK]

75/5.
