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

[Fusion]

England win the toss and will bat; Tremlett is in. Both good calls.

Strauss wins the toss and bats. Tremlett, Bell, Broad all fit.

Can someone explain to me why a Test match doesn't start or end on a weekend?

The weekend in the UAE Friday and Saturday

Today's Tuesday. It's meant to end on the weekend. Perhaps it's school holidays in Dubai? Smali your in school still aren't you?

No. I work here.

If anyone seems a fluke to me it's Riaz tbh.

WHAT?????

 

[Howe_zat]

England bat.......that is what I wanted in any case

Oh right. Nevermind me, carry on.

 

[smash84]

there won't be any crowd for the test matches here....just like in Pakistan ...

As if you can't watch this.

Yeah but the quality is significantly reduced now. Especially audio.

Just annoying that I personally pay $80 a month or whatever it is for Foxtel purely so I can watch live cricket and rugby league, and when a cricket match that I really want to watch comes on, they don't ****ing show it.

Waqar Younis thinks Pakistan should have gone with 3 fast bowlers

Haha same tbh. Was thinking of doing it anyway but decided not to let that get in the way of a good anti-Foxtel rant. Used to be a staple of most cricket threads but I haven't needed to make one in a while.

When you've got Hafeez, it pretty much makes no sense to ever just go in with two unless the pitch is going to turn so much that Hafeez will bowl a lot anyway.

Watch Hafeez bowl 2 overs or something all innings as England break 400.

Man, check out the massive crowds!

Any English posters know if the Barmy Army is out there in any number? Could be very quiet if not.
