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

[ganeshran]

All over. 7-fer for Ajmal.

 

[Spark]

Wow that's a shocking effort, Pakistan in an awesome position now.

 

[Prince EWS]

finally

Yeah; such a long innings.

 

[four_or_six]

Well played Ajmal, then... and Prior continues to prove how gun he is.

 

[Pothas]

Shame we didn't quite get to 200, really well played Prior though. Think our fast men can do something here, anything less than 300 would be a great effort.

 

[ganeshran]

Toffee can be trapped lbw easily by Anderson

 

[four_or_six]

Yeah, less than 300 has to be the aim, then see if we can bat better next time.

 

[Xuhaib]

If England continues to handle Ajmal like this I can see him doing a Harbhajan 2001 on England.

 

[silentstriker]

Did the entire Indian batting lineup leave Australia out of shame and end up in UAE?

 

[Cevno]

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.

But the Seamers then get extra speed from that extra hyper extension too. Bowl slower if you want to stay in the limit, IMO.

And spinners as you say have hyper extensions too, depending on their actions especially when they want to bowl the quicker delivery. Also what you are forgetting with spinners is that there needs to be some leeway for wrist and finger (and even shoulder) action to put revs on the ball.

 

[smash84]

so we will know now how good or bad the pitch really is

 

[Spikey]

this is perfectly set up for broad to be a ****

 

[benchmark00]

What are everyone's thoughts on the big Salgaocar vs Bangalore match up?

 

[NasserFan207]

7fer then. Brilliant from Ajmal. Way too much chucking talk going on, give it a rest ffs.

Not sure England will get to bowl much if at all this evening with the poor light. As well as Pakistan have done their over rate has been shocking, particularly with a mostly spin attack.

 

[weldone]

Look forward to Younis Khan taking on Swann...

I love Pakistan

 

[smash84]

Yeah; such a long innings.

lol.....tbf it should have been much shorter

Said God, as Stuart was born.

Indian batting lineup would have scored atleast 300 here

All talk of leeway and 15 degrees is redundant in this case, it's a throw, if it's investigated and found to be in the limits then il freely admit to being wrong but il be amazed.

It really should have been much longer.
