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

[Prince EWS]

You do realize that I had said that when the match situation was different right? when there was a possibility of Pakistan declaring after batting out today.

I wasn't talking about you.

 

[Spark]

Broad was getting plenty of movement.

Broad is also many classes above Gul and Cheema.

Unfortunately yes.

Dude, there are 2 days left. Unless we have a cloudburst (unlikely in the desert) or somebody digs the pitch up tonight then there will be a result. Pakistan winning is clearly the favourite given how England have batted in this series. Calm down and enjoy it.

England I still consider have, better batsmen and bowlers than Pakistan. Broad/Swann are better than Ajmal/Gul. It works like that. Even though England's batsmen are out of nick, Strauss has been playing well, and Bell, Cook and Pietersen are somewhat better. The pitch was relatively flat when Younus/Azhar were batting. And now the spinners are their.

 

[Z-Man]

England did not try Finn and imo that was one of their mistakes.

Finn > Anderson in these conditions.

Woah, now now Sparky. Dangerous territory here.

 

[Agent Nationaux]

Before the series, that was one of my fears...that Pakistan would make a hero of someone like Panesar.

Who cares. We have won the series and will hopefully win this match IA. Let the rest of the world bring monty back to his crap.

I'm sure. I was commenting on the bit that there's not much to be had for fast bowlers.

 

[r3alist]

Come on a few boundaries atleast!!

LOL but it pisses me off when my team gets out to bowlers like that...I don't mind crumbling against Warne..everyone crumbles against him but Panesar? Seriously?

Finn > Anderson in these conditions.

Anderson's averaging 27 with the pill in conditions that closely mirror that which you'd find in fast bowling hell. He's been fine.

All of England's mistakes were related to their batting. Their bowling has been fine. Better than fine, in fact.

Why Jimmeh is averaging in the twenties, and the there's been no bounce, which is what Finn thrives on

Real back-to-the-nineties stuff there, batsmen fail, drop a bowler.

Not going to talk about Finn > Anderson, but that's not the reason why they're losing..it's just been terrible batting, and no amount of chopping and changing the bowling attack was ever going to help them win with batting like that.

 

[Black_Warrior]

Woah, now now Sparky. Dangerous territory here.

 

[Agent Nationaux]

Gul shouldn't look for his typical slogs.

 

[nightprowler10]

Sigh..

 

[Agent Nationaux]

150 for Azhar. Great stuff lad.

 

[Shri]

Such a stupid way of getting out..

Another reason why you need an aggressive batsmen in the line-up

Give us Ali, take Sehwag.

 

[nightprowler10]

Well done. Now stay on strike as much as possible please.

 

[Cevno]

Give us Ali, take Sehwag.

Oi, no!! They only need a aggresive batsman. Give them Raina.
