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

[LegionOfBrad]

It's good to see so many fans turned up wearing blue.

 

[Cevno]

Don't think Rahman is the right bowler for this occasion.

 

[Spark]

Yes he was cleared by the ICC and that is what annoys the heck out of me.
Stop the bull**** people, he has been cleared by the ICC. Who the hell are you to mouth about his action?
Bhajji and Murali have had the same problems and I fear Ajmal will continue to hear this crap.

Might as well shut the place down tbh...

 

[uvelocity]

stupid foxtel it's only just coming on delay here 0/2

not many people there

cant wait to see this delivery

 

[Agent Nationaux]

What's up with the home support. It seems more England fans than Pakistani fans.

 

[ganeshran]

Bring back Hafeez or Cheema

 

[Spikey]

Didn't the ICC test and clear Ajmal after that time that Watto and Haddin complained about him?

I think it might be ok for the doosra. it got cleared, obv. but the teesar or whatever, just looked absolutely horrible from a front on angle. Is that the new ball?

Indeed.

on cue

without the wickets

At 43-5 i'd have taken this scoreline. 200 would be massive for the dressing room and then nip a couple out with the ball tonight and it not such a wretched day after all.

It's natural that spinners (especially the orthodox variety) are going to test the limits more, because they have to rotate their arm rather than just fling it down.

Have done, man.

 

[smash84]

yeah.....England have done well after 43/5......very well after that.....Pakistan should have pressed home the advantage....

tbf Misbha didn't do much wrong.....Prior and Swann played well

 

[ganeshran]

Have done, man.

 

[Cevno]

Have done, man.

Too late, IMO.

Thanks bro.

Well if the limit is 15 degrees, then the bowler is fully entitled to use 14.9 of them if he wants too.

Also i disagree with you that the limit should be different for pacers and seamers, IMO. As it is the seamers are harder to catch.

That's a nonsensical argument. With seamers most of their arm bend is from hyper-extension. So any slight chuck is going to push them over the limit. That works. With most spinners there is little hyper-extension (it does depend on their action obviously) so they have most of the 15 degrees to play with. No type of bowling should have that allowance.

 

[Cevno]

It would be hard to catch this teesra in the lab tbh because he definately chucks some of them and on some occasions goes full round arm like Malinga.

He'll just do that in the Lab tests.

 

[Prince EWS]

Too late, IMO.

Just trying to prove a point to the selectors. I WANT JUNAID.

finally....all out at 192
