***Official*** Pakistan and England in UAE

[Spark]

Hi Akmal.

 

[ganeshran]

Two fours.. good thinking by Swann to force Ajmal into bowling a flatter trajectory

 

[smash84]

He relies on less orthodox methods to deceive batsmen, one feels.

He must be the new cheat like reverse swing earlier

 

[ganeshran]

Old habits die hard - especially for Akmals

 

[Howe_zat]

You can take the fielders out of Pakistan...

Meanwhile, maybe driving works against straight balls. Rather than this paddle bull****. It's horrible.

Their badge looks very similar to my avatar!! .

Ajmal really is a monster these days!!.. , i hope our lad Sunil Narine watches him very closely.

As for England, i know it's early stages and all but has a number one team ever had so much problems against spin before? i'd love to know!!.

Harbhajan, Australia etc... etc...

The Michael Clarke school of batting against spin: don't sweep.

It works. Seriously.

Name me a situation in which Bresnan would not be handy.

Tch.

 

[Burgey]

He doesn't use a bottle top on the ball tbf, but I dot think I'm the only one who thinks his action is utterly diabolical.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Absolutely abject.

Not surprised the shot putter is doing well, but this is ridiculous.

 

[Spark]

Well evidently some of the Barmy Army got there, as you now couldn't hear a pin drop in the stadium.

You know I would have loved to read your running commentary on the last 3 Australia v India tests.

Yeah he's definitely going to be getting a call from the ICC for some tests sometime this series I would think.

This version of Akmal has a few very big technical problems with his keeping, and would take no long than 5 minutes to sort out.

For example, when he takes the crouch position, his gloves are cupped together, which makes keepers prone to closing them early. Should have your palms open and facing the stumps.

Not sure how an international player can have a flaw like that these days.

Tell your children this:

If it's full enough to sweep, it's full enough to drive.

A khatmal can have as many flaws as possible

 

[Furball]

No-one wants to read your running commentary; piss off.

Well spotted, that.

I would fine batsmen for playing the sweep.
