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

Nice finish by KP, but if someone had told you that he'd bat through the innings, you'd expect him to make a lot more than 62. Shows how tricky it's been out there.

Great finish and a very good innings by KP. Shame he only got to face two balls in the last over though.

 

[ganeshran]

Best possible finish. Looking forward to see how Finn will do on this pitch

 

[Jarquis]

Nice note to finish on. Would've given an arm for 130 about 5 overs ago.

 

[MW1304]

Lucky that wasn't given as a no ball, really. Awful delivery.

Yes, and it shows that he thought about the innings. He probably knew that if he'd gone cheaply we would have struggled horribly. 129 shouldn't be enough, but maybe if we get among them early on .....

It didnt look more than waist high.

Bravo Ravi Bopara. Not only does he have a strike rate below 100 in T20 he has a batting average below 20.

****'s sake he wouldn't even get a gig with Zimbabwe or Bangladesh. Get him out of the set-up FFS.

Welcome back mate.

I kinda have this feeling that Hafeez is nearing an exit from the side.Sure he's a very good bowler,but his batting has been very poor lately.

 

[grecian]

Well done Jade. Much more sensible bowling then Finn, pitch it up keep it straight, let the uneven pitch do the work.

 

[ganeshran]

Zia's batting is looking much different today. He is making other shots than the slog

Never quite sure whether he really is a wily bowler, or it's just that no-one wants to get out to someone so innocuous.

Having a bit of a horror run atm, but I'd have thought his Test place is safe at least.

 

[ganeshran]

Broad should bring himself and Bops on.

 

[salman85]

I think he's a very intelligent bowler.Not as good as an Ajmal or Swann,but he makes up for it with an immaculate line and length.Bowls very well with his limitations.

 

[Agent Nationaux]

Zia batting better today.

 

[Jacknife]

Why defending this total haven't we got a slip in, I said just before that we need wickets to win this and like has just been said bring the fielders in, need to stop the easy singles. Should bring Swann in earlier, be stupid as **** not to.

Didn't catch the England innings but it appears to be turning a fair bit.

Uncanny that, every time it seems.

 

[ganeshran]

Zia gone after a much better innings than the horror show in the 2nd T20. Why doesnt Broad bring in Bopara and give him a couple of overs. His bowling should suit these pitches.

 

[Agent Nationaux]

Poor decision. Persuaded by appeal.

 

[grecian]

Poor decision, didn't look out either. Wish we had another spinner now. KP perhaps?
