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

[screamingfields]

Pakistan can stand T20s and that's because they are so inconsistent. Simple as that. I think England might win this one.

 

[screamingfields]

It was way above his elbow. Nasser mentioned shoulder.

It's like saying the ball hit the shoulder to the keeper is out.

We managed to lose chasing 100 vs West Indies in September, so not counting any chickens yet. Pakistan have enough batting left to get them over 150.

 

[stumpski]

Swann has tremendous figures though - 4-1-13-3.

Different team granted but yes, we can lose from all sorts of positions, give half a chance. 10 a over till the end is some ask.

Brilliant spell from Swanny.

 

[Jacknife]

Come on Finny, I'd bowl more back of a length than pitched up here.

140 is par here apparently.

He's getting some swing out there is Broad, could stick a slip in there all over, that's 2 edges that would have gone straight to first slip.

 

[Jarquis]

Marry me Swanneh

 

[Jacknife]

FFS stop pitching the ball up Finn.

Garbage today Finn, hasn't got it right at all.

Been a cracking final over, yet a miss field goes for four and a inside edge does as well. Good stuff from Dernbach in the last 2 overs, he had them bamboozled.

Sensible batting should get England over the line but anything can happen in twenty20, especially against spin.

 

[Cabinet96]

With a few edges and sloppy fielding Pakistan getting a decent total here.

Great catch by Bairstow, quite happy with that score TBH.

Dernbach says F...M....L

 

[Jacknife]

Just seen Ajmal Shahzad in the background, wonder what he's doing over there.

***y start from KP.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Man, KP has his eye in today. Dispatched Junaid contemptuously. Let's see what he makes of Gul.

 

[stumpski]

Little surprised to see Gul back in the side after bowling so poorly in the 3rd ODI, after which there was talk of his not being 100% fit; leaving him out of the last match was part form, part fitness I suspect.

Now he'll go and take 4-25 of course.

 

[Jacknife]

Trying to hit the ball a little too hard .

 

[BoyBrumby]

"Today, I shall mostly be playing on the leg side"

Pietersen looks to be in the form of his life

Expert jinxing.

 

[Agent Nationaux]

Yes K Peanuts gone.

 

[Jacknife]

Man he got a little greedy there KP, he was after another ton and he looked very much capable, still got England off to a good start. Now lets see what the rest can do, someone else will have to step up.

Why do kieswetter only scores on boundaries?
