Bowled in the ODI series against Australia after the Ashes. Looked decent too.

going back five years he played as a genuine all rounder for Warwickshire - pickde up seven for in one game and about 45 wickets ina first class season.  Since then, lack of opportunities and a back injury have taken about 8-10mph off his stock ball and blunted his efficiency, but he was no mug...

Again crowd response was poor and what makes it poorer was the fact that entry was absolutely free!

In UK Lords ticket is 100 Pounds and it is sold out and this being free is not even 10% full lol

I think the key moment in this Test and Test series could be Anderson's drop catch of Misbah. If Anderson had taken that catch Pakistan could've been all out for 150. If Misbah can marshall the tail to get Pakistan's total to 300-350, it could be a matching winning position.

England need to nullify Ajmal.

Absolutely, Ajmal will be the key along the other spinners as there was turn in the pitch on Day 1 and generally in test matched turn increases as time goes on if Im not mistaken so Ajmal, Rehman and HAfeez all will be key for Pakistan.

If Pakistan get at least 300 Id say they are in good position.

was it a tough catch?

was it a tough catch?

I don't think Anderson was fully concentrating. It was a sharp chance but he barely got a hand on it and he went with both hands.

Sharp chance but you would have expected Jimmy to take it really....

Can I just say that ground they are playing at is the least picturesque, ugliest, most hateful ground I have ever seen? For those who haven't seen it on tv yet, imagine a cricket ground in the Gaza strip....

Wasnt a tough catch but it was one of those which Anderson never drops.

So from English perspective it was not a tough catch while from Pakistans perspective it was

Each to its own I guess

In all fairness the UAE don't really play cricket and I guess these grounds are based on the hope of hosting matches with Pak vs Ind.

Gotta also say England's fielding in this series hasn't been as good as it had been in recent years. 3 drops today. Monty dropped a c&b but bowled Hafeez next ball. Anderson dropped Misbah and Strauss dropped A Akmal.
