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

[PerfectionPersonified]

wata performanceby ajmal

lets hope we dont lose many tonight

 

[Strike!]

Is it too much to ask that we don't lose any wickets before the end of the day?

 

[Sherlock]

Full credit to England. Great fightback from Prior and to a lesser extent Swann, but that's why they're #1 team in the world. Would take 192 all out every day though.

 

[kkmix]

To be honest, England should have been bowled out for less than 150.

 

[Sherlock]

I'd expect it to be 65-2 at the close.

 

[IAJ]

What an excellent performance by Ajmal and Pakistan! 192 all out, who would have believed that at the toss!

Would have tasted more if he had got Prior instead.

Anyways over to the batsmen. Good luck!

 

[malakian]

I expected us to be bowled out for under a hundred tbh, at least we have something to bowl at now. Pakistan still miles on top.

 

[IAJ]

Me too, but now you have got 92 bonus runs. Can by handy!

 

[Poison]

I'd expect it to be 65-2 at the close.

In 12 overs?

sorry am reading this again

have u had your account hacked -mods please investigate

 

[90MPH]

Got a feeling England got out of jail. I reckon Pak will score around 250-275 at most.

 

[jattafridi]

i predict PAK 29/3
stump

 

[NJamal]

Andrusun starting the proceedings

 

[Sledger]

How many wickets down tonight?

 

[talha3]

Bit of swing from Anderson

 

[ZAK]

Good delivery.

 

[Strike!]

Swing in the first over for Anderson.

 

[ZAK]

Play straight, Hafeez.

 

[qamar84]

great delivery by anderson

 

[talha3]

Surprising how Anderson still averages above 30.

 

[ZAK]

Maiden.

 

[Strike!]

How come our bowlers weren't getting any swing?

 

[Sledger]

To be honest, England should have been bowled out for less than 150.

Maybe but England had a lot of luck in their innings. Could have been worse but at least Pakistan created more than enough chances.

 

[NJamal]

Maiden

 

[MR__KHAN__JI]

How long are they going to last?

 

[talha3]

This is going to be a nervous start.

 

[malakian]

Jimmy getting the ball to swing, make the most of it fella, won't last for long.

 

[Pak_Jazba]

Need to get 30 to 40 runs today for max loss of one wicket.

 

[90MPH]

Anderson getting a fair bit of swing.

 

[jattafridi]

good over from anderson

 

[ZAK]

Leg-bye.

 

[talha3]

Taufeeq against England, will be tested.

 

[ZAK]

We're off the mark.

 

[ninjafirstslip]

Taufeeq against quality bowling is far better than against quality bowling. Be grateful.

 

[90MPH]

The ball does swing in Dubai at certain times, and certain times does zilch. No Idea for this - could be something to with the tide and breeze.

 

[Asif321]

Taufeeq is on test

 

[Strike!]

Match hasn't resumed yet? :S

 

[talha3]

First no ball of the match

 

[ZAK]

No ball.

 

[Strike!]

Ten cricket went off, Wth???? issed:

 

[Asif321]

I tHink ten cricket stopped showing match coz of Southafrica
series is it???

 

[talha3]

Hafeez off the mark

 

[ZAK]

Hafeez off the mark.

 

[Saurav]

what the heck,ten cricket has switched to SA-SL ODI

 

[Strike!]

Cricinfo were doing their commentary from the Ten sports coverage!

 

[Asif321]

Viewers Of TEN Cricket will not b able to see last half hour of Pak v Eng , as SRL V RSA Match has started

 

[Sledger]

Solid start.

 

[ZAK]

3/0.

 

[Asif321]

They could have shown on Ten Sports Wht the hell they r doing

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Aggerscricket:
England all out 198. Prior 70* Ajmal 7/92... LOL at Aggers wong figures for ajmal. I think he must have an eyesight problem.

 

[Sledger]

Janderson bowling at 126ks.

 

[Saurav]

Viewers Of TEN Cricket will not b able to see last half hour of Pak v Eng , as SRL V RSA Match has started

preferring ODI over tests,

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

good bowling by england so far

 

[Strike!]

This is embarrassing for cricinfo.

 

[ZAK]

Beaten!

 

[MR__KHAN__JI]

How did that miss?

 

[Sledger]

Almost edged that. Hafeez looking terrible.

 

[malakian]

Nearly...

 

[ZAK]

2 to Hafeez.

 

[Asif321]

This is irritating.. they could have waited half hour and then showed that crap srilankan match

 

[Saurav]

cricinfo stuck too

keep updating the score guys

 

[talha3]

Almost edged that. Hafeez looking terrible.

He's not looking that bad. You expect one or two plays and misses against the England new ball bowlers.

 

[yeh_cheezzz]

Watch wickets falls for England Inning

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wXM4Hawz-NM

 

[Sledger]

Good punch for two.

 

[DW44]

They could have shown on Ten Sports Wht the hell they r doing

Its still live on Ten Sports.

 

[ZAK]

5/0.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

all pak need to do is overcome the new swinging ball..

 

[kuthaman]

DAMN YOU TENCRICKET ! Pakpassioners, help us out, whats going on

 

[ninjafirstslip]

Hafeez is a minnow basher. Never remembered him doing anything of significance against quality teams. The cook wicket was worth his inclusion though

 

[PakPosheeda]

WTH every stream has switch to pajama cricket. Any stream guys?

 

[Paradox]

Where are you guys watching this online now? Ten not showing..

 

[Sledger]

Just get through 10 or so more overs. Run making shouldn't be hard after that.

 

[Iffitheking]

another Indian own.. Channel.. showing bias... showing pathetic Srilanka vs best SA

 

[Batman]

Pakistan | 1st Innings | 0/5 | 3 Overs | RR 1.66

 

[tauseefm]

Can somebody tell me at what speed Anderson is bowling? Specially people who were complaining about gul and cheema's speed.

 

[jattafridi]

[Saurav]

SL 6-0 after 1 overissed:
