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

[Mani2020]

this partnership is really looking dangerous for Pakistan

meanwhile umar gul wastes a review, really was a stupid review ...he is so much frustrated because he is not picking wickets in last many matches ....Pakistan should really think of replacing him

england were 45-5 last ~100 runs they made are just for the lost of 2 wickets ....that is good going for them and they are not done yet its 138-7 now swan is looking good while prior is compact on the other end , still anderson and tremllet to come..anderson can also bat ...quite a long batting line up for england...bats till number 10

there is something strange with gul, sometimes he is on fire, but sometimes he has no idea

 

[Areesh]

Replace gul with Riaz.

 

[ameer219]

That can be said about almost every Pakistani player

Hats Off to Saeed Ajmal. 7 wickets on good batiing wicket

 

[Mani2020]

Saeed ajmal was really on fire today . 7 wickets on a batting wicket that had nothing to offer to spinners is really a mind boggling effort ....honestly apart from ajmal every other bowler seemed ordinary as if england has posted around 500 score

anywayz good fight back from the tail of england team first 7 wickets for 94 and then the tail put up a show along with prior to score 98 runs just for 3 wickets ... that showed two things

1- the benefit of having a long batting line up and bowlers who can bat also and that too quite well , thats why england has performed well in recent past due to the long batting line up where even if there top order collapsed they still have players who can come and score runs, that is what our tail enders always lacked apart from ajmal, ajmal is one who will bat for the team no matter how long he has to bat... truly a team player

2- the wicket was quite flat , it was just the quality of the bowler who crumbled the england top order

 

[Mani2020]

at stumps Pakistan are 42-0

An awful start to the tour for England. Outwitted by Pakistan's spinners and bowled out for a well below-par score. Then absolutely nothing in the game for England's bowlers. "On a wicket like that it's really important to play straight," Matt Prior said of how to bat on this pitch, after several of England's batsman were out playing across the line. They've let themselves down today have England, that was not the No.1 Test side in the world...
As for Pakistan that was a wonderful day and a big marker. Saeed Ajmal took career-best figures and, as Michael Vaughan said on TMS, he could bowl Pakistan to the series. England have never faced a bowler like him before and were bamboozled.
Advantage Pakistan and there will be plenty of reaction here on ESPNcricinfo. David Hopps' report will be available shortly and George Dobell will be providing the stories from out in Dubai.
I'm off to bed I think to acclimatise to Middle Eastern time, hopefully not with nightmares of Ajmal's doosras. Although I wouldn't be trying to sweep him. See thee tomorrow...

In Ajmal we trust!! Meanwhile English commentators are crying.

 

[fd24]

Ajmal is on top of the 1 day rankings - after this test natch he will surely get into the top 10 test bowlers. Truly a fantastic performance to make all Pakistanis proud. This is a massive turn around when these 2 teams last played. Lets hope they can follow up with the same in the next 2 or 3 days!!

Main ki kya si? Dubai main bisti nahi honay doonga

@Asim sir

Are you going to issue infractions to the English team with PMs as "bowling, batting and fielding of no value, offside"

Don't underestimate my ability for rolla paa-ing. Whenever Pakistan seems down in the series we gather like a whole bunch of Pakistanis and pohnch jaatay hain... Our group has men and women with age groups ranging from senior citizens to toddlers. Giant flags in hand, face painted with the Chand Sitara and a lot of spirit.

At least 50 runs ka credit ki mehnat hum kar hi dete hain...
