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

[Xuhaib]

Taufeeq looks like a walking wicket vs Swann. Maybe get Umer in for Taufeeq and open with Adnan slotting Umer at .7

No, no you don't.

Jokes aside, he did rip through our order single-handedly.

Hence the fact that you don't have to love him.

Haha, I see that you've already given up on this match and are focusing on the next.

Good news for you Pakistanis, I'm really struggling on the StickCricket fan challenge. On my third game and Strauss has three successive first ballers. Not got within 350 of the target so far.

 

[Xuhaib]

can't see us getting 120 more runs which we need to put England under some pressure.

I share your pessimism, but haven't lost hope yet. An early wicket at the start and I'll be right there with you.

 

[GIMH]

102 all out chasing 400, my best effort yet.

Reckon if I keep playing all night I'll be able to only lose by 100 by the time I go to bed.

I'm normally okay on StickCricket, but this long version has got the better of me.

I've been trying to get this bloody game to work for ages now, getting really pissed off that you'll go offline before I can say I've beaten you

 

[GIMH]

Yeah, site has gone down I think. Possibly me surviving a whole first over without dropping a wicket that brought it to its knees.

 

[Howe_zat]

Just hit a 396/5. Missed the last ball, gutted.

If Shafiq and his missus can find some runs out of somewhere, I believe in them a lot btw, then I will, do nothing really, because, well, I guess I'll just watch the game?

 

[GIMH]

Decided to have a bash with Pakistan just to see if I found any change in difficulty, still not close but boy did I feast on Pietersen

 

[marc71178]

Hmmmm.... maybe. It would be interesting to compare stats on that. I'd agree that it's helped spin bowlers get more LBWs.

The India - Aus series is being played without DRS and they're going to have 4 results out of 4.

Yes, but that's because India have been ****.

 

[Agent Nationaux]

I'm as nervous as PEWS is when in a conversation with a girl over 12. Imagine how Shafiq and Azhar are feeling. Do you reckon they will have a good night's sleep?

Atherton said that even 10 years ago, an opening batsmen would never be given out like Hafeez was today. Says you knew you could plonk your foot down against the spinner and you were safe. That seems like a huge weapon that's been taken from the bat.

Which is great IMO, forces batsmen to think more about how they approach spin.

 

[Fusion]

Wow, seems really foggy out there at start of day.

 

[Fusion]

Azhar gets his 50. Well played lad.

Adnan would be terrible opening. If you want to bring Umar in for Taufeeq then surely the logical move would be to open with Azhar, given he's opened a lot domestically.
