Pakistan v England | 1st ODI | Abu Dhabi | 13/2/2012 | England Innings

[dhump]

serious issues in fast bowling department for Pakistan.

[chui_kadoo]

England are favourites for me now. Seamers have been atrocius. Wahab another wide

[Muhammad Waleed]

[dhump]

and wahab is very poor with his line and length horrible to be honest he look totally raw all over again.

[ninjafirstslip]

lol riaz taking jackets for wides now?

[chui_kadoo]

[imshally81]

[chui_kadoo]

Wahab very expensive

[ninjafirstslip]

261?

[chui_kadoo]

260 up

[Geordie Ahmed]

That was unlucky, edge

[chui_kadoo]

Very decent score

[imshally81]

261 target for pakistan ...

[dhump]

260 up lots of runs went lose from here and there.

[Phool]

Great batting in the last three overs.

[Geordie Ahmed]

dot ball to end

England 260-7

[sarmadsl]

Good effort in the end by pakistan

[Asif321]

.... unlucky

[Looney]

261 runs to chase . Difficult one .

[Geordie Ahmed]

Pak require 261 to win

[Strike!]

Our batting will be tested.

[chui_kadoo]

Spinners done the trick again. Fast bowlers proved useless againt England. I hope they learn from this mistake and bring in rehman next game

[imshally81]

Good recovery from Pakistan... great work by ajmal

[dhump]

very chase-able on this wicket when we think we got batsman till no 8 but you never know about Pakistan.

[chui_kadoo]

Wahab 7-47 - 0 .Gul 8-53 - 0

[Asif321]

261........... Not Easy at all

[Qadeer]

Poor fielding, Poor Keeping, Poor bowling by seamers and poor umpiring mean pakistan will chase 261

[Proud To Be A Pakistani]

Another poor day by our fastmen

[cricfan4ever]

261 to chase, need an aggressive start from the openers so that the middle order comprising of tuk tuks n can afford some dot balls ... I didn't include cuz he's a brilliant player of spin ...

[pak4life]

considering gul and riaz have been around a while there inconsistency is unacceptable

[chui_kadoo]

We gave 20-30 too many runs there

[Love Pakistan]

Craptastic bowling from both fast bowlers!

[JibranAnsari]

Relax guys , we can not expect our bowling to do the job every time. The batsmen are also earning some money , let them halal their money.

[Pakhtoon_Rules]

100 runs in 15 overs by fast bowlers.

[ninjafirstslip]

farhat to blast 50 ball century. A hybrid version of lara class and viv brutality.

[chui_kadoo]

I just hope the think tank realize that we dont need 2 seamers against England. 1 is enough

[AnotherIndian]

Haven't seen Wahab Riaz bowl in excess of 140k this match.

Speed aside, what happened to him? He seems to have lost the magic he has shown in WC.

260 is very tough for Pakistan. I would be very surprised of Pak can cross over 230.

Stats
Shafeezjamal - 30 overs 128/7
Gull/Riaz - 15 overs 100/0

[MuqaddarKaSikandar]

Come on ... the Batting needs to win a few games now

[cricfan4ever]

we can't afford shafiq, yk and misbah all back to back to back in this chase, they should shift the order a bit...need to knock of the first 61 runs inside of 12-13 overs with no more than 1 wicket lost ...

[Asif321]

misbah umar and hold key ......

[Namak_Halaal]

It's obvious England's tactic was to target the fast bowlers.

For the life of me I do not understand why Pakistan did not bowl yorkers towards the end of the game. Swing, miss, out!

[tauseefm]

All the idioit fans are mocking the fast bowlers but they are forgetting England also here to play and they are better batsmen against fast bowling than spin. This really tells how immeture some fans are

[cricfan4ever]

as well

[zains_rulez]

Chances now :
England 65% , Pakistan 35% (with unpredictability)

Exactly they are better against the fast bowlers so why didnt they play Rehman instead of one of the faster men

Which software you are using?

100-0 is 15 overs by fast bowlers and that too Pakistani is just There were no bouncers and no yorkers!

[Sherlock]

Finn is going to be critical. Great bowling of late.

[cricfan4ever]

well England's attack is seam heavy, so we are going to need someone to take the attack to them ...

cricket is not logic based in pakistani cricket. A double edged sword.
