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

[NasserFan207]

Wow, Dirtbag was actually pretty damn impressive. Great coolness at the end

Commiserations Pakistan, this was a tough loss

 

[nsniks]

Congrats England, great 19th over by Broad

 

[stumpski]

They can get on that plane in better spirits now after the crushing disappointment of the Test series. Pakistan will be left to regret wasting Afridi like that. I have a feeling he'll be captain in their next game - and batting higher than 7.

 

[Jacknife]

Broad swung the ball all the way through both one day series, epic last couple of overs. Very impressive again by Dirtbag, he's found his level in 20/20, he really is a **** to get away and score off, just keep him away the 50 over stuff.

 

[Agent Nationaux]

Can dirtbag bowl anything other than a ****ing slower ball.

 

[Agent Nationaux]

We made a ****ty bowler look amazing.

 

[Z-Man]

Didnt jump in to Misbah bandwagon after Test series.

Happy about that.

 

[Jacknife]

Don't agree, he's done well in this format and he bowled a 90mph yorker the ball before, that's what made the slower on all the better.

Dernbach's economy is actually better in T20 than in 50 overs.

 

[stumpski]

Pietersen player of the match and series - I should think so too.

 

[NasserFan207]

If it makes Pakistan fans feel any better, I'm fairly sure most England fans would still prefer they had the test whitewash and the results were reversed

 

[Agent Nationaux]

I'm a selfish guy, and that does not make me feel better.

 

[Agent Nationaux]

However I have to say that it's finally great to have a controversy free tour and a good contest in one of the series.

Been quite the turn around for Big Kev, really pleased for him, his attitude has been brilliant and he's shown great application to work on his troubles, always knew he was hard working but to do it mid tour is something else.

Yes, pissed off about the Test series but excellent how they turned it around.
Have to say I've found a new level of respect for the Pakistan side this tour.

I don't think losing 4-0 and 2-1 deserves respect from anyone.

No way, it's all abut the Twenty20 and the 50 over stuff from now on.

 

[Jacknife]

I don't think losing 4-0 and 2-1 deserves respect from anyone.

Not really just about that though after the bad taste I had from the last tour and they were excellent in the Tests.

 

[BoyBrumby]

England's best hope is for Misbah to stay there and take plenty of the bowling. Why he insists on coming in before Afridi is beyond me.

Called it, tbf. Bizarro innings from the Pakistan skipper.

Good death bowling from Broad and Dernbach tho, to give credit where it's due. I don't know if it's true, but I'm sure I heard Knight say in the commentary England had never defended a score lower than 150 in a T20i before. Fair effort if so.

 

[Agent Nationaux]

It really was a poor chase by Pakistan. I don't understand why we simply can't chase.

 

[Viscount Tom]

I actually didn't think England and Pakistan would manage a controversy free series across the formats but they managed it, some people not in the team on about Ajmal's funny arm isn't controversy imo.
