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

[Shri]

FFS, start getting out to someone else.

Shut it ****. Monty should do well here and be on the plane to India.

Good decision after all I guess.

 

[Son Of Coco]

And THAT is why scoring runs at a faster rate when you can is ALWAYS a better option.. Now Azhar is running out of partners and Pakistan need at least another 100 runs..

To win by 200?

(I'm not actually watching the match...do England stand a reasonable chance against the spinners in the last innings?)

 

[nightprowler10]

Should be interesting to see how Azhar handles this. Should be trying to protect his partners from here on out.

 

[Cevno]

"If you exclude Misbah, Azhar Ali has faced more balls in this innings than anyone else from either team has faced this whole series!"

From Cricinfo. Needs to get a move on now though.

 

[Agent Nationaux]

We can still make around 100 more.

 

[nightprowler10]

Nice. There ya go Azhar.

Tend to agree, 400 is looking far away, at 3 down and 2 batsmen set was the time to punish England, everything was in the favour of the batsmen.

 

[Agent Nationaux]

Adnan gone.

 

[GIMH]

Well in Monty, ominous mind you!

 

[r3alist]

And the procession starts as I typed the above....

 

[nightprowler10]

Azhar needs to take charge here. No singles on the first ball FFS.

 

[Agent Nationaux]

Abdul Rahman, no surprises there.

 

[nightprowler10]

Ugh..

 

[Black_Warrior]

Azhar probably would've just got out.

Yeah I know..he doesn't really have those shots and that is why it was crucial for Misbah to stay because he had the ability to go for the big shots...Ideally I would have preferred to see Azhar get out early and Younis to bat on

 

[Agent Nationaux]

Come on Azhar, do your job.

 

[Black_Warrior]

Pakistan making a match out of this..well done

 

[GIMH]

Looks like we'll be chasing about 320, massive outsiders obviously. Need Cook and Trott to score big IMO

 

[Spark]

Haha 300 is plenty IMO.

Azhar should go for it here though.

 

[Furball]

Haha, Swann's average against Pakistan's left handers.
