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

[slowfinger]

This just highlights how dire Pakistan's batting is (without Alam) . **** sake.

Could have sworn VVS did it during the 2003/04 tri-series with Australia and Zimbabwe.

Just checked, nah he score 3 tons in 4 matches.

 

[slowfinger]

Cheema... Cheema?!

 

[Jono]

Haha @ Misbah's reaction to those overthrows.

Misbah would love that he didn't have to deal with Umar in the tests.

Azhar bowls a bit, doesn't he? Give him a trundle, spin far more likely to trouble England and Gul's overs need to be covered somehow.

 

[slowfinger]

This is where someone like Amir or Asif coulda given us hope... Excuse me whilst I weep into my pillow.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Azhar bowls a bit, doesn't he?

Can't catch tho, but.

 

[GIMH]

Satisfactory innings so far

 

[slowfinger]

Not helping Axhar...

 

[BoyBrumby]

Gorgeous pull from the skipper, there. Like a cack-handed Vaughan.

Like Cheema's run up too. Defies one not to refer to it as "bustling".

 

[ganeshran]

The chef playing brilliantly.. KP looks to be in good nick too

 

[Howe_zat]

Starting to remind me of this game.

Played, KP

 

[ganeshran]

They have no RR pressure at all, easily able to negotiate Ajmal and milk other bowlers.

 

[marc71178]

This match clearly showing that the toss was the critical factor in the first 2 matches.

 

[Jono]

Last two matches were not in Dubai ftr, they were in Abu Dhabi.

Not quite a classic, but green shoots and all that.

His ODI average now back over 40, stat fans.

 

[BoyBrumby]

I'm starting a "Cook for the T20i XI" campaign. Who's with me?

 

[BoyBrumby]

4 players has done it

Ha, Walt just mentioned this on the commentary. Wonder if Benedict is a closet CW reader?

 

[GIMH]

Shot, KP.
