Pakistan vs England 2012 series (Cricket assault in Deserts of U.A.E)

[fd24]

In this game - Azhar Ali has become an international test batter. He has done a great job. Came in under tremendous pressure - batted so professionally.

Misbah out - lead is 289..... 6 wickets left.

 

[Pak123]

"Wonderful statistics in this series as Saeed ajmal has better batting average (10.25) than Ian Bell (8.20) so far," points out Farhan Sahito. Cricinfo

LOL

 

[Saifullah Sani]

Azhar Ali is the top scorer so far

azhar ali played slow but is doing a good match hope he reaches 200 pakistan has been giving them a good lead of 300 runs if our spinners play with us we can beat these guys

 

[BATMAN]

"Absolute masterclass by Younis bhai. I sincerely hope Pakistan can bring little bit more consistency to their batting. No wonder why Pakistan can easily be the strongest test team in the world. Wonder what would the world do if Pakistan had Asif, Amir, Gul, Ajmal and Rehman. Cricket is the loser here that God gave such talent to Asif but didn't give him enough morals. He and Butt dragged that supremely talented little kid Amir into these murky waters. I hope Pakistan players will never involve in this ***** again. Go Pakistan go..sky is your limit - from an Indian."

nice comments by a cricket lover on cricinfo

Sir morale comes from your upbringing.
Your parents, society and belief shape it.
Unfortunately, they were product of our society but I hope they have learned a lot from the ordeal and even the whole society have learned out of it.

Still, in my opinion it was lack of maturity which hurt them most.

When they are representing Pakistan they shall be little careful.
Pakistan have many enemies and they shall be careful in talking to strangers or with the circle of their friends & trust.
Asif, never cared while talking on phone with girls or bookies. Such attitude invite for trouble.
Veena was one example.

Perhaps, maturity comes faster in army because of education but these players are **** to fraudsters, criminals.
What Pakistan team is facing is wrath of foreign intelligence agencies, they are being trapped.
Murder of Bob Wolmer was one example.

When Pakistan team toured Australia in 2010, (by chance) I was in same hotel and i witnessed, Asif being picked up every evening by a RAW operative (in guise of taxi driver), who used to offer him booze and nightlife and he use to stay with that agent all night... till morning and use to sneak into the hotel just before match.
I can indulge more simple details how i identified the RAW operative but that is not the subject matter.

The issue is Pakistan team has been lead into trap due to their ignorance.
Even the blinds can see that spot fixing was a not a real deal, and ICC apparently had punishments pre-planned.

Furthermore, Pakistan politics plays role, Ijaz Butt allowed un-identified characters to roam around the players, on top of that team selection has always been a big question mark.

PCB seem to be a specialist in ruining talent and promoting trash.
Imran Farhat is one of the trash example being promoted again and again, while their was no reason to drop Kamran Akmal in present setup.

We shall not close our eyes like pigeon and point always at players.
Some thing is seriously wrong with PCB & govt.

Shafiq and Akmal gone cheaply - Panesar is turning the ball alot. If he is turning it then Ajmal and Rehman must be getting excited! lead 303 and 4 wickets left....

 

[Safriz]

is azhar still there?

 

[fd24]

is azhar still there?

yes - now Rehman is out. The ball is really beginning to turn. Pakistan are bowling last on this wicket. England have got 6 left handers and they are really going to struggle to cope with this wicket. 304 ahead - 3 wickets left

 

[Safriz]

the wicket has cospired against england...
it stopped turning while pakistan were batting...it has started turning again when england are about to start...

 

[saiyan0321]

damn i leave for 15 minutes and nearly everybody are out still mission accomplished 300 lead

 

[Sugarcane]

........ but these players are **** to fraudsters, criminals........

That was funny

 

[Mani2020]

lol what an idiotic batting by the lower middle order of Pakistan team at one stage Pak was 331-3 and now 350-8 this is ridiculous loosing 4 wickets on 19 runs...and it is not that the ball danced around it was just pathetic bating from the long tail, asad shafiq got out playing a pathetic shot there was nothing extravagant with the ball its just the carelessness , same with adnan akmal this guy pisses me off apart from shouting he cant do anything he was playing inside the line of the ball on a spinning track so got cleaned up again nothing much in the delivery

The only delivery that did a bit was one on which Abdul Rehman got out that too because the ball pitched in rough... Pakistan after this series definitely need to look about their lower middle order because with this batting line up they cant chase scores ....being 331-3 and then 350-8 on a nice track is just hilarious and a crime

unfortunately there are not much good keepers who can bat are coming out for Pakistan...there have been 3 tried and all 3 are just pathetic to be the least with bat i.e adnan akmal, sarfraz and zulqernain

Teams like aus,sa,ind, eng,nz and sl has the luxury to have keepers who can bat quite well

 

[Areesh]

Pakistan needs Umar Akmal in this team. Take out Taufeeq Umar from the team and replace him with Umar akmal. Azhar ali and Mohammad Hafeez should open the innings.

 

[Mani2020]

Pakistan needs Umar Akmal in this team. Take out Taufeeq Umar from the team and replace him with Umar akmal. Azhar ali and Mohammad Hafeez should open the innings.

Azhar ali always struggles with the new ball so he will not be suited to opening position ,there are few players who are very shaky when they start and needs bit of time to settle down these players are very easy to get initially but later on they may become a hurdle for you.... azhar ali is one of these players who can be easy to get when just arrived other players with same problem are younis khan,mahela jayawardene and ponting to name a few

Ponting is more difficult to get initially compared to younus and mahela because the only problem with ponting when he arrives at the crease is that he plays across the line immediately and with the new ball swinging around it becomes difficult to take lbw or bowled out of the equation

 

[Areesh]

Well may be you are right about that but that is why the coach if their to help him with this problem. He still comes very early to bat thanks to pathetic performance by Taufeeq Umar. Also he used to open innings for KRL in domestic cricket. In my opinion we should take this chance.

Meanwhile in Australia, the ijtamai ziyadti continue.
