Riaz getting spanked today. I was impressed with Junaid, he was swinging the ball both ways.

So who is Anthony Martin?

Looks like a pretty inexperienced 28 year-old legspinner. Was economical in the WI domestic one-day competition in the season just gone, but has played just 18 List A matches, so it really seems a bit of a gamble, good overall economy (4.01) suggests he has good control of his art. We shall see.

Yes Lendl Simmons taking a liking to him early on, even dancing down the pitch to meet him. Very positive.

Bravo Jnr nicks off to a fine reaction catch at slip by Misbah giving Ajmal a wicket with his first delivery.

Now for Marlon Samuels, looking forward to see how he goes.

 

[Woodster]

Samuels trying hard to cut Afridi through the offside, always a risky strategy against someone like Afridi that isn't a big legspinner and will bring it back into the right-hander with his well disguised googlies. Little room for Samuels to operate, surely be better looking to go down the ground.

rr slowing down now

 

[Woodster]

Samuels really struggling early in his innings here. Has no idea when facing Ajmal, cannot read which are his offspinners and which is his doosra, he's not on his own there though. Just needs to try and rotate the strike, allow the much more fluent Simmons more of the strike, easier said than done though.

 

[Howe_zat]

Samuels looking clueless against the spinners, WI could do with getting him out here.

Nice late cut by Simmons there.

 

[Woodster]

Wow, what a welcome Simmons just gave Junaid Khan as he's re-introduced into the attack. A shimmy down the pitch and a full blooded thump down the ground for a maximum.

Simmons seems to be batting on a different pitch to the rest of them. Don't understand why Ajmal has been taken off.

 

[smash84]

Ajmal is gun in ODIs.

With a little more application might develop into a good test prospect

 

[smash84]

3 runs off 35 deliveries from Samuels......

 

[NasserFan207]

Samuels currently has a strikerate of 8.

 

[vcs]

Samuels.

 

[NasserFan207]

Simmons goes, match basically over tbh. Good knock from him though.

 

[smash84]

Simmons gone..........with Pakistan you never know........

[Agent Nationaux]

Are there going to be any green pitches in this series for the rest of the ODIs and Tests?

 

[Agent Nationaux]

What's the point of having Hammad Azam in the squad if he isn't going to be used.
