Tests in Abu Dhabi

This. Imagine watching Cook and Trott on those pitches. :(( Atleast we're guaranteed some entertainment from Pakistan (off field mostly).

[Pioneer]

Awesome, should be there

[Cricket_Guru]

timing is excellent, a visit to dubai at that time is on card...:two_thumbs_up:

[leon7766]

why do we need to have these od matches why not have an extra test instead .Proper cricket

[rajmarie]

3 T20.....looks like a 1st in a bilateral series. Offen there is 1....max 2 in some...but 3 T20. Too much...considering there are 4 or 5 ODI's also.

[Serani]

Looks like we will rape Pak, rack up them huge totals then bowl em out, oh so easy.

[ganeshran]

Looks like we will rape Pak' date=' rack up them huge totals then [b']bowl em out, oh so easy.

In Abu Dhabi? :giggle:

[Serani]

Yep, we would bowl Pakistan out anywhere. They suck.

[ganeshran]

Yep' date=' we would bowl Pakistan out anywhere. They suck.[/quote'] Their batting does suck, but its the flat tracks of Abu Dhabi we are talking about. English bowlers wont have it easy there.

[Serani]

After we have bowled out the almighty India on the flat tracks of Lords and the Oval im really not worried.

[Cricket Tragic]

It's possible but it won't be easy. England have a better spinner than SA and that would help.

[Serani]

SA only had two good bowlers in hot conditions, england will have 4.

[ganeshran]

Totally diferent conditions in England and Abu Dhabi. Lords and Oval are home conditions for English bowlers but the desert is completely different. Like CT said - Its possible but certainly not going be a cakewalk.

[Trichromatic]

England will win this series.

[Hur Rizvi]

England are favourites but that wont be a cake walk last time England came to PAkistan in 2005 with same sort of COCKY ATTITUDE AND ALMOST GOT WHITEWASHED in test series... Likes of Flintoff,HArmison and Hoggard were not able to get even KAmran Akmal out What PAkistan needs to do is to get back kaneria, an attack of KAneria and Ajmal can certainly trouble England. Kaneria had a very good series against them in 2005

[Cricket Tragic]

Kaneria is a joke. He will end up figures of 5/210 as usual.

[Serani]

Ajmal will hopefully get called for chucking. this gon be good.

[Hur Rizvi]

Kaneria is a joke. He will end up figures of 5/210 as usual.

But in 2005 he was probably our best bowler against England on similar pitches.... I think he still has enuff talent in him to perform well for PAkistan There is a toss up b/w him and AbdurRehman who is a defensive spinner but is a very capable late order batsman. I prefer kaneria over him
