globaldiver Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 Lost the toss But Pakistan have only one spinner Good game to win Quote
famouswanderer Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 Bell dropped a sitter and a wicket off a broad no ball. Criminal on this deck. Quote
famouswanderer Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 Anyway i lumped on pakistan to get 450+ just after they lost their first wicket. So ill have a silver lining if they do post a big score. Quote
Site Supporter superjohnmcginlay Posted October 13, 2015 Site Supporter Posted October 13, 2015 whats this no ball business again? only heard a couple of reports on Talksport before Andy Jacobs was bemoaning the no ball situation? Quote
Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted October 13, 2015 Site Supporter Posted October 13, 2015 Seems every English bowler wants a go at getting a wicket with a no ball. Anyway, it's weird playing test cricket in a virtual empty stadium Quote
Site Supporter superjohnmcginlay Posted October 15, 2015 Site Supporter Posted October 15, 2015 Cooky batting all day I see. 800 plus runs and 11 wickets lost in total. Not a cricket wicket at all. Yawn fest Quote

Anyway, it's weird playing test cricket in a virtual empty stadium Imagine if you had forked out to go there - hoping for a top trip and a decent atmosphere. Would feel like you were at a training match where the bowlers have no idea! Quote

Maggie Tate Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 Imagine if you had forked out to go there - hoping for a top trip and a decent atmosphere. Would feel like you were at a training match where the bowlers have no idea! Then you wouldn't have done your research. I went to a day of the Pakistan v New Zealand test match at Sharjah the day Phil Hughes died. As the first ball was bowled I reckon I was one of about 100 paying (£3) folk. By mid afternoon the place was half full and the atmosphere was great. No ale and no food for sale. There was a mosque though. Ground miles from the town and miles from public transport. And it's had international cricket played there for decades - Dubai and Abu Dhabi are brand new and even worse. The UAE is the last place I'd go for cricket unless passing through. In fact the whole of the UAE is shit and should be burnt down. Quote
famouswanderer Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 The Pakistani's 523-8 is starting to look well below par. Quote

Guest Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 Longest innings (in terms of time) by an England batsman Quote
Underpants Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 At this rate Cook could find himself on the pitch for the entire 5 days. I wonder if that's ever been done. Quote
