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

[qamar84]

Ahh, were missing the sheer pace of Junaid and Wahab. Someone has to make way for either of those two and Gul should be the man..So much of Ajmals success was because Rehman tied down the other end for one run in 5 overs. Cheema has bowled well and should stay.

best bowling pair in spin

 

[Sledger]

Two more dots would be good.

 

[IAJ]

Working and watching the live action on my iPhone in superhd. Lovely, just lovely!

 

[slblack]

English commentators were saying that Saeed Ajmal bends his arm & wear full sleave shirt to hide it What a pity guys. You already started a controversy again on the 1st day of the tour. Same stuff u did on the last tour as well. Shame!" Adee I quite agree, a little bit misconceived.
cricinfo

england crybaby )

They are quite pathetic aren't they?

 

[Sledger]

Good shot for four.

 

[qamar84]

 

[talha3]

Ajmal needs to get rid of Tremlett next over.

 

[Sledger]

Gets the key dot ball. Now Saeed just needs to come over the wicket.

 

[qamar84]

They are quite pathetic aren't they?

is there any word worst tha pathetic to describe them ??????

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Come on lads let's get them

 

[Sledger]

2 balls to survive.

 

[Sledger]

Use the teesra Saeed!

 

[slblack]

is there any word worst tha pathetic to describe them ??????

[Sledger]

Tremlett's done his job.

 

[qamar84]

[Sledger]

166/8.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pakistan really need to improve in regards to knock over tail. We had same issues against Sri lanka as well!

 

[DOOSRA95]

Get the frigging tail who ever is the bowler, come on.

 

[talha3]

Slips too deep, doesn't carry

 

[iHammad]

Shitttttttttttttttt

 

[Sledger]

Not carried. Slips are way to deep.

 

[iHammad]

Omg, step up

 

[Strike!]

Why so deep ffs. issed:

 

[Robert]

Trem has seven FC fifties. Prior does not have to protect him. Nevertheless, very impressed with the Sussex man who is now a pressure player as well.

 

[ninjafirstslip]

Pakistan really need to improve in regards to knock over tail. We had same issues against Sri lanka as well!

This is by far the best tail in the world. Look at how they hang in there. Some have better techniques then our premier domestic batsmen.:rameez

 

[qamar84]

our slip fielder are to deep should come up little bit

 

[slblack]

Stupid field setting costing us agian.

Toothless captain and bowlers.

Miss the days of Wasim, Waqar, Shoiab and Saqlain who smelled blood and went for the kill.

Not these toothless bowlers we have these days. Someone please show these guys what was and what is the sad reality of today.

 

[ninjafirstslip]

My dislike for Hafeez continues....

 

[Sledger]

Well played. 167/8.

 

[90MPH]

The pitch is so slow they should know they have to step up. But no they don't want to think.

 

[Batman]

England | 1st Innings | 8/167 | 66 Overs | RR 2.53

24 Overs left in the day!

 

[adnan yasin]

Congratulations to all pakistanis who were optimistic about pakistan bowling performance

 

[Sledger]

Slog sweep for one.

 

[adnan yasin]

comeeeeeee on

 

[talha3]

Got him!! One more to go. Cmon Ajmal get a 7fer

 

[Strike!]

Finally.

 

[iHammad]

YES! 9 down, 6th for Ajmal

 

[Sledger]

6 for Saeed.

 

[qamar84]

"Ajmal blatantly bends his arm, this is clearly visible to the naked eye. Is it a greater bend than permitted, I don't know. His action is slightly suspect and should be investigated in my opinion." Well there's one opinion from EnglishComms...
cricinfo

can someone tell these idiots that he already been investigated and he was clear

 

[A.M.]

yesssssssssss yessssss

 

[ZAK]

 

[Sledger]

It's out people, what are the commentators saying?

 

[iHammad]

 

[Batman]

Tremlett gone, Ajmal sixth

 

[ads101]

Yar finally.

 

[Sledger]

Chance to take 7. Janderson in next. Big doosra around the wicket coming up.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Lets get Anderson out and then start to wipe out Some of these england runs tonight.

 

[bluffmasterv2]

Trem has seven FC fifties. Prior does not have to protect him. Nevertheless, very impressed with the Sussex man who is now a pressure player as well.

maybe he should have besides i dont think there are any ajmals in your FC -___-

 

[talha3]

My dislike for Hafeez continues....

Cmon he got the run machine Cook out.

 

[PakPosheeda]

As soon he bowled over the wicket to Tremlett he gets him. Wasted about half and hour bowling round the wicket to tailenders

 

[Namak_Halaal]

3 day Tests matches must be in fashion!

 

[adnan yasin]

I expected them to score 170 odd runs

they are close to that score

hopefully they dont score more then 2 runs

 

[Sledger]

Solid block.

 

[ZAK]

168/9.

 

[Areesh]

Finish it for God's sake.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Come on Ajmal get the last one too now!

 

[Sledger]

Sorry England, not every attack is like India.

 

[Sledger]

Janderson being given advice.

 

[Sledger]

Gul warming up.. :\

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Nice shot by Anderson for 3

 

[A.M.]

3 runs

 

[Sledger]

All tuk tuk haters need to understand that it isn't easy to go at 4 an over on these slow tracks. England going at 2.5.

 

[Amjid Javed]

come on Pakistan finish this inns off FFS!

 

[adnan yasin]

172/9

 

[Strike!]

They're playing the Lawrence of Arabia theme.

 

[Sledger]

Need a dot now.

 

[hazen_batti]

issed: Who were the PPers who were asking for these English Commies. taste their jealousy now.

 

[ninjafirstslip]

under 200 would be so good under 180 would be even better.

 

[Sledger]

Terrible ball, short on the pads.

 

[Strike!]

Oh for crying out loud.

 

[PakPosheeda]

Rehman getting tonked around by number 11. Hafeez should've bowled to lefty Anderson.

 

[kkmix]

LOL it was the same team that was playing attacking cricket throughout last year with run rate of > 4 ...

 

[Sledger]

Top edged into the grill.

 

[tauseefm]

Seriously Misbah? I would've brought everybody up close to bat but our tuk tuk couldn't figure it out.

 

[iHammad]

lol teesra

 

[talha3]

The teesra

 

[Ambi]

is not having any answers for s questions

 

[ads101]

Get Hafeez to take out the last one.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

FFS finish this off!
