00:00Music
00:14Pakistan and Peshaw, where within spitting distance of the Khyber Pass, England this morning played the UAE.
00:20Michael Atherton with Sultan Zarawani, Michael Atherton tossing the coin.
00:30Sultan, you've won the toss. What are you going to do today?
00:36Well, we're thinking of batting first, sir.
00:38Looks a good wicket.
00:40It's a perfect batting track. This is what we're used to in charge of.
00:44Outfield is a bit damp. I think it'll make the ball swing a bit less, make it heavy.
00:50Yeah, Graham Hick and Robin Smith are not considered fit for selection.
00:54And a birthday present for Philip De Freitas.
00:57Yeah, he's coming for Peter Martin. Obviously with Hickey going out, I lose one of my kind of sweepers on the boundary, so fielding considerations.
01:05And also Daffy swings the new ball as well.
01:07Important to get a convincing win today.
01:09Yeah, we want to win. Obviously we want to win and we want to win well. We want to make sure it's a convincing victory.
01:14So here's confirmation of the two teams. England without Hick and Robin Smith and leaving out Peter Martin had a somewhat curious look about them.
01:22With Atherton dropping down the order, and Neil Smith scheduled to open.
01:26The UAE, something of an unknown quantity, although Samarasaka looked useful against South Africa.
01:31There was much interest to see whether Sultan Zarawani, the UAE captain, would wear a helmet this time when he batted.
01:37Zarawani, you may remember, was hit a frightful clonk on the head by Alan Donald on Thursday.
01:43The Emirates on their way.
01:53Said is back for two. More attacking field than we've been used to from England.
02:00Two slips and a gully in position.
02:03It's today.
02:05It's his third World Cup.
02:07He's England's second leading wicket-taker in one-day cricket.
02:11And only two players have taken a hundred wickets in one-day internationals for England.
02:17No surprise to learn that the leading wicket-taker is Ian Botham.
02:21With two slips.
02:23In World Cups.
02:28This is Defeuze's 19th match.
02:31Pretty good economy rate, that, in terms of modern one-day cricket.
02:35Anything under four.
02:36Hard work.
02:37Well, it wouldn't be difficult to improve on it at all.
02:41It was one of the poorest displays I've seen in the field.
02:44Some of the ground fielding was embarrassing, and the catching was just as poor.
02:49It's in the air and out.
02:53First wicket of the day.
02:54Philip de Freitas strikes in his first over.
02:57Ganesh goes without troubling the scorers.
03:00So that'll have given England a huge sigh of relief.
03:04United Arab Emirates.
03:06Three for one now.
03:08Well, that was an indifferent shot, that.
03:10Just hitting it on the up.
03:11The ball's not there for driving.
03:13It was never up enough to be driven.
03:15And a simple catch.
03:17Three for one.
03:18Maz Hussein coming in at number three for the UAE.
03:29South Africa.
03:30The ball whizzes through.
03:31It carries nicely.
03:32It's a good-looking shot.
03:35That'll be the first boundary of the day.
03:38Behind points.
03:39Saeed registering the first four of the day.
03:43The UAE move on to 12 for one.
03:48Yeah, it's a nice shot, that.
03:50Not a really bad ball.
03:51Just a good shot.
03:52Just a touch short of length.
03:53Just a touch wide.
03:54That's all.
03:55And he was on to it pretty quickly.
03:57It's probably the best shot we've seen from the UAE.
04:01To batting if you've got time to stay in.
04:04When the ball keeps low and you play forward to everything.
04:08A good shot.
04:10He's on the front foot very quickly there.
04:12I'm just going to say that when you get these pitches with low bounce and that,
04:18you've got to get forward because you're frying the ball is going to keep low.
04:21In fact, I think his eyes lit up.
04:25He was into it that quake that he didn't bother keeping it on the floor.
04:28Just whipped it away in the air.
04:42Up over the top of the infield and that's what it's all about in these early overs.
04:46In the first 15 overs.
04:49Nine fielders have to be inside the 30 meter radius.
04:54And if you give it a little clip like that, it's four runs.
04:57Yes, I thought that was very well improvising.
05:00Just off his hip.
05:01Just short of a length.
05:03And he deliberately lifted it over the infield.
05:07No doubt about this being lucky.
05:10This was deliberately done.
05:11He just flipped it over off his hip.
05:14Very thoughtful.
05:17Improvised that very well.
05:19Shovel the ball to the onside.
05:21You see that bottom hand.
05:23See where the bats outside off stump.
05:25That right hand, it's right round.
05:27Whoops.
05:28It seems to work.
05:30Yes, I think we'll find a lot of shots in this match will go the aerial route.
05:43Because of the slowness of the pitch.
05:46The batsmen are into the shot.
05:47A little bit earlier than they would like say in a test match.
05:51But it's not a test match.
05:52It's one day cricket.
05:53Just into the shot early.
05:55And they'll go the aerial route over the top.
05:58Because they'll feel more comfortable at going through the ball.
06:04Philip De Freitas.
06:06And that's a big shot.
06:07And that is out.
06:09Well, that's the reward for bowling.
06:13Absolutely straight.
06:14Well up to the batsman.
06:16And just provoked that cross package shot.
06:19And England take their second wicket.
06:21Well, I think he's deserved that.
06:23Philip De Freitas.
06:24Ball quite tight.
06:25Quite well.
06:26And this young man playing across the line again.
06:29You see, that was absolutely plump.
06:31Sit him halfway up the pad.
06:33And he's just whipping across a straight-ish ball.
06:36He'll be disappointed with that.
06:38Scored nine.
06:4232 for two.
06:46Well, this is Vijay Mehra.
06:48And I have a few notes to say that he was born in New York.
06:51In 1963.
06:53And also that he's one of the most prolific scorers.
06:55Right-handed.
06:56Little order batsman.
06:58With a string of achievements.
06:59We'll talk about those as we go along.
07:07Well, he's been trying to play across the line.
07:10All through his innings.
07:12And this time it's caught him out.
07:14You see how he just whips it away.
07:16You can't play like that successfully at top level.
07:19You won't get away with it.
07:21In the match England lost to New Zealand at the opening match of this
07:25Wills World Cup tournament.
07:27Darren Goff, in fact, was the most expensive of the England bowlers.
07:30He went for 63 off his 10 overs.
07:33That's a cracking shot.
07:34You could really hear the middle of the bat then.
07:35Ringing around this ground.
07:36Excellent four runs for Hussein.
07:37Easy half volley.
07:38Nicely put away.
07:39Crisply.
07:40Very full half volley.
07:41Didn't swing.
07:42Didn't swing.
07:43Didn't really do anything.
07:44Just angle in to the middle of the bat.
07:45And this is his fifth four.
07:46When he hit it, they go.
07:47What a cracking shot.
07:48What a cracking shot.
07:49And this is his fifth four.
07:50When he hit it, they go.
07:51And this is his fifth four.
07:52When he hit it, they go.
07:55The training.
07:56Well, what a cracking shot.
07:57Predetermined, if you like, he was on the way down,
07:58but not many people use their feet to Darren Goff.
08:02And he got the other side.
08:03He was on the way.
08:04The end of the way crisply.
08:06Very full half volley.
08:07Didn't swing.
08:08Didn't really do anything.
08:09Just angle in to the middle of the bat.
08:10Well, this is his fifth four.
08:12When he hit it, they go.
08:14What a cracking shot.
08:19Predetermined if you like, he was on the way down.
08:21but not many people use their feet to Darren Goff.
08:26Well, he caught Darren Goff napping.
08:28I don't think Darren expected him to come down the pitch.
08:32Just surprised him.
08:33He got the delivery and then a little shuffle of the feet.
08:37Got him in perfect position.
08:38A little bit to the leg side, giving himself room.
08:43Craig White coming to replace De Freitas at the school end of the ground.
08:47He's playing in his 10th one-day international.
08:50Economy rate of just over four.
08:54And an important all-rounder in this 14-man England squad.
09:02And now people are referring to the pinch hitter, which I shall elaborate on.
09:09Playing this.
09:11A little bit of hello.
09:13The bowlers.
09:14Craig White's gone down.
09:15I thought it initially an exasperation for a play and miss, but it's more serious than that.
09:24The pinch hitter will have to wait.
09:27Craig White's in trouble.
09:28Alex Stewart beckoning Wayne Morton, the England physiotherapist, onto the pitch.
09:37And this could be really serious news for England.
09:40They've already got Graham Hick and Robin Smith on the sidelines injured.
09:44Dominic Cork struggling a bit with a persistent knee injury.
09:47Craig White's a very tough character, but he's not very comfortable out there.
10:00Wayne Morton jogging out there.
10:01This is what happens.
10:02Side-on view of White.
10:04Nothing significant in the action, but he's still down on his haunches there.
10:13The pain registering itself in his brain.
10:19And he's like a boxer, taking a mandatory count at the moment.
10:24And White is marching purposefully off the field.
10:33Not looking very comfortable at all, Craig White.
10:37Three overs, three balls of his over completed, so somebody's going to have to finish his over.
10:49Craig White there.
10:51Watch closely there, the reaction.
10:54Follows through.
10:55Head goes in the air.
10:57And down he goes, onto his haunches.
11:01That doesn't look very good news at all for England.
11:07Problems for England captain Michael Atherton.
11:10He's chosen Neil Smith to complete this 20th over.
11:16The bowlers can only bowl a maximum of 10 overs.
11:22So this three balls will count towards Neil Smith's quota.
11:27So he'll only be able to bowl nine overs and three balls in the innings.
11:32Drop him.
11:57Well, that's bad news for England, bad luck for Neil Smith.
12:07It's both occasions that the batsman's really gone after it.
12:12It was really quite a simple catch.
12:15He'd be pretty cross if a catch like that was dropped by another player off him,
12:19and that was just driven back to him.
12:21Maybe he thought it was coming a little harder than it did.
12:23P.J. Mera's been out there for 45 minutes and scored one,
12:29so you see the frustrations got to him,
12:31and that was a risky shot back down the pitch in the air past Neil Smith.
12:42Just one more look at that court and ball that went down.
12:47Not very hard back.
12:53Big shout and a very confident appeal.
12:57Up goes the umpire's finger.
13:07Mera didn't want to go there at all.
13:11And good for Neil Smith that he's actually
13:13made up for that drop, caught, and bowled.
13:16Little outside edge.
13:17Jack Russell does the rest.
13:19It's 48 for three.
13:20The incoming batsman, Mohamed Aslam,
13:27goes out to
13:28join
13:30the main run-getter,
13:34Maza Hussain.
13:36And that's Mohamed Aslam's career.
13:38Two matches, two innings.
13:41All very modern stuff.
13:42And he'll be facing a new bowler,
13:46a change of bowling out there now,
13:48Richard Illingworth,
13:49the slow left arm spinner.
13:49Well, Neil Smith had two stabs at
14:07dismissing Vijay Mera in the last
14:10over.
14:11He dropped a court and bowled early on
14:13and then got one to go straight on
14:15and nicely caught by Russell.
14:17A reluctant Vijay.
14:19It's good bowling,
14:36because he turned a couple in that
14:38over and that one went straight on.
14:39All right.
14:43That's a nice, great fielding average, yeah?
14:45Yeah.
14:47Caught Russell for Smith for one,
14:49but he was out there for 34 balls.
14:57Bowled him.
14:58Well, that's a dreadful shot.
15:00But I suppose when you've been there
15:03and played all the handsome shots
15:04that the side's produced,
15:06you're entitled to make one mistake.
15:08But Neil Smith gets very close to the stumps
15:10when he lets the ball go.
15:12And that's bad news for the Emirates.
15:17Just pressure, wasn't it?
15:18On him in particular.
15:20Mera didn't do him any good
15:21by batting for so long for one.
15:22And this poor man just felt the pressure building.
15:29Bowled by Smith.
15:30For 33, 49 for four.
15:34Craig White has broken down
15:36after bowling just nine balls
15:37with what looks like a serious side strain.
15:40And there will be a concern about that.
15:42Let's get back to Bershaw.
15:51So, a double success for Neil Smith.
15:55The one assisted by a pretty indifferent shot.
15:58You know, sweeping is very much
16:00shot played in
16:00in one day
16:02and limited over cricket.
16:08If you're going to choose to sweep,
16:09you've got to sweep
16:10the right length delivery.
16:12So much line.
16:14And this was just a little bit too full.
16:17Squeezed under his bat.
16:18Dislodging the off stump.
16:20Fairly flew out of the ground.
16:24Some turn here for Neil Smith.
16:27Mid-off's dropped back to long off
16:29for the last delivery of the over.
16:3025 overs gone straight one.
16:38Might have played over the top of it.
16:40This will tell us.
16:42Might have played outside it.
16:4349 for five.
16:51Welcome back.
16:52Well, Arshad Laik has come
16:54and he's gone.
16:56Neil Smith
16:57started that over
16:58very, very quickly
16:59and he's managed to dispose
17:01of Arshad Laik
17:02very efficiently
17:03and the UAE
17:05are struggling now
17:07at 49 for five
17:08with Laik bowled
17:10and he was bowled like this.
17:11Angus Fraser, comprehensive.
17:12He'll be very happy with that
17:13but they're in an awful trouble now,
17:15UAE.
17:15They're going to struggle
17:16to get 100, I think.
17:18So,
17:18it's all going very well for England.
17:20Now, obviously everything
17:22is slightly overshadowed
17:24by the injury to Craig White.
17:25You were a bit concerned
17:26watching that.
17:27When someone goes down like that
17:29you can tell it looks serious, really.
17:31This moment you don't know
17:32whether he's done a back or side
17:33but the way he is
17:35he doesn't make most of it
17:36make a great deal of injuries
17:37so when he goes down
17:38he looked like he was in a lot of pain.
17:40I think there's something
17:40seriously wrong there.
17:42And the worry will be, of course,
17:44that he managed to injure himself
17:46of course this time last year
17:47in Australia
17:48with an intercostal side strain.
17:49Let's go back to Pashaldo
17:50with Salim Raza
17:51just about to face his first ball.
17:56Assisted by the batting, I think.
17:59Or non-batting.
18:0150 runs come up,
18:025 wickets down,
18:03we're in the 26th over.
18:07Here's Neil Smith.
18:14Good shot.
18:16That was a proper shot.
18:19Darin Goff.
18:26Three runs.
18:34That's in the air, makes it.
18:35Good shot.
18:36It was a firm crack.
18:38Darin Goff was lying
18:39quite deep at mid-off.
18:40Chances were
18:41that it would go straight to him.
18:42in fact,
18:43just bypassed him
18:44and that's four rounds.
18:48Well, the intention
18:49was to hit it down the ground
18:50and in the air for four
18:51and that's exactly what he did.
19:04We've had news of Craig White
19:06who went off
19:07after bowling
19:08one over and three balls.
19:09He's strained a side
19:10and he'll
19:11not take the field again
19:13in this innings.
19:18How is that?
19:20Well, that was a confident
19:21sort of shout.
19:21There's quite support
19:28building up around
19:29the ground for
19:30UAE, of course,
19:32number of Pakistan
19:32national.
19:4564 for five.
19:46That's called him.
19:57Very ambitious stroke
19:58to a quite innocuous ball
20:00but the result is
20:0280 for six.
20:04Well, that was a nothing
20:05sort of shot, wasn't it?
20:07Sort of straight delivery,
20:08reasonably quickish
20:10and just a height to leg.
20:12Really short enough
20:14on this pitch
20:14and said all along
20:16there's not too much bounce.
20:17You've got to be careful
20:18of your pull-in shots.
20:2080 for six.
20:24Four matches,
20:25four innings.
20:26Averaging 19,
20:27that's okay
20:27because he's mainly a bowler
20:29and bowled really well
20:30with the new ball
20:30against South Africa.
20:43Stepped outside leg
20:44did so off.
20:45Played a bit too soon
20:46and hooked it
20:47through mid-wicket.
20:51There's no danger
20:51of someone setting
20:52a field to cope
20:53with that.
20:57Yeah, nice slower ball
20:59here.
20:59Try to ball a slower
21:00off.
21:01Spockup T-shirts
21:01and wear a pretty
21:04smart outfit.
21:04There's wickets
21:11aren't so smart.
21:14Dominic Cork,
21:15the bowler
21:15of 88 for seven.
21:17Well, nice
21:18bowling change
21:19by Mike Latharton
21:20but what a shot.
21:21I mean,
21:22that's awful.
21:23Feet all over the place,
21:25the height to leg,
21:26not looking at the ball
21:27and he deserves
21:28to be able to turn around
21:30and look at those
21:30stumps down.
21:31It was awful.
21:3388 for seven.
21:35If he saw the highlights
21:36of the South Africa game,
21:37I'm sure he'll bounce him.
21:39Even though it would be
21:40a no ball.
21:41Mmm.
21:42Could be interesting.
21:43So,
21:44the Sultan is a brave man
21:45or a foolish one
21:46and he's about,
21:47we're about to find out
21:48which.
21:4988 for seven,
21:51the UAE.
21:51And go swing it.
21:53Don't feel happier.
21:56Lovely stroke.
21:59Samara Sekera
22:00straight down the ground.
22:02A rare boundary.
22:12Fault won't cut that off.
22:14Two boundaries in the over.
22:17The UAE move on
22:19to 98 for seven.
22:24By England,
22:25although the players
22:25have had to leave
22:26the field to take drinks,
22:28that's cost a little bit
22:30of time.
22:32It's flown down
22:33to third man.
22:36And that single
22:37brings up the 100
22:38for the UAE
22:39in the 41st over.
22:40crowd gradually
22:53building up here
22:54in Peshawar.
22:56The match started
22:57to almost deserted
22:58stadium.
23:01Be about
23:021,500 people
23:04in the ground now.
23:04That's bowled him out.
23:10Zaruani looking
23:11to leave the ball.
23:13Cork has other ideas.
23:14The UAE
23:15captain's dismissed.
23:16And the Emirates
23:18are now
23:18100 for eight.
23:23Well,
23:23what an appalling
23:24shot that was.
23:25All Cork did
23:25was bang it in
23:26just short of a length.
23:27It didn't get up
23:28too much.
23:29He sort of
23:29turned his head away.
23:31He wasn't looking
23:32at the ball.
23:33He hit the bat
23:34and went onto the stunts
23:35and that's the horrible result.
23:37100 for eight.
23:38the part today.
23:45Good piece of bowling.
23:47It's been a confident
23:48start by Neil Smith.
23:49It's been good for him
23:50to come in against
23:51one of the
23:51lesser...
23:52And over the line
23:54before Jack Russell
23:57takes the bails off.
23:58Now it's going to be
23:59touch and go.
24:00Come on.
24:04Not out is the verdict.
24:06The jury were out
24:07a long time
24:07but eventually...
24:09That's gone fine.
24:13Hillingworth's after it.
24:14The ball racing
24:15across the outfield.
24:18And he can't make it.
24:19The ball runs into the road.
24:20That's a boundary four.
24:23The UAE on to
24:24107 for eight.
24:30In the air
24:31but
24:32down it goes.
24:35Good effort by Alex Stewart
24:36diving full
24:37full length to his left
24:38but he just couldn't hold on.
24:41Well it was a good effort
24:43but I think he'd be disappointed.
24:44He got both hands to it.
24:46Nice catching height.
24:49Would have been a very good catch.
24:50Not only a helmet
24:51one with a grill.
24:54That'll go fine for four.
24:58Neil Smith
24:59kicks the ground
25:00not happy with that.
25:01umpire Kure
25:02signals the boundary.
25:09Samara Seikra
25:11on to 24.
25:15Third boundary.
25:16That's gone right through everything.
25:22Umpire signals
25:28four buys.
25:30Jack Russell deceived
25:32by the bounce
25:32or the lack of bounce.
25:34and totally masked
25:38by the batsman.
25:40Cool time.
25:48It's very straight
25:49and umpire Kure
25:51has given him out.
25:53Duke and Waller
25:54departs the scene.
25:55LBW to Richard Illingworth.
25:57He's made
25:5815.
26:00The UAE
26:01now
26:01135 for nine.
26:06This is dismissal again.
26:08It's a question of whether
26:08the ball turns.
26:10Difficult to tell
26:11there
26:12because the bat
26:12almost covered it.
26:14It does need to straighten.
26:19135 then for nine.
26:2127 years of age
26:24really quick
26:26in Ahmedabad.
26:32Good Yorker.
26:34He's just taken the bail off.
26:36He's run out.
26:38Umpire Kure
26:39raises the finger.
26:41Very alert work
26:42by Jack Russell behind.
26:44They're all out
26:45for 136.
26:48It's not often
26:49that an umpire
26:50doesn't call
26:50for number three
26:52and the television screen
26:53when there's a run out situation.
26:55Russell glove off quickly.
26:57Takes aim.
26:58Clips a leg stump
26:59and the umpire proved
27:00right by some way.
27:02Innings.
27:03Stuttering start.
27:04Quick
27:05two quick wickets
27:06early on.
27:08Ganesh going
27:09without troubling
27:10the scorers
27:10and Saeed
27:11for nine.
27:13Mayra batted
27:13a very long time
27:14for just one run.
27:17Hussein and Aslam
27:1833 and 23
27:19respectively.
27:21But completely bogged down
27:22in the middle
27:23of the innings.
27:24It was left to
27:25Samara Sekera
27:26to take Sri Lanka
27:28beyond
27:29the hundred mark.
27:31Duke and Waller
27:31added 15
27:32from the number
27:33ten position.
27:35But a rather
27:35sorry tale.
27:36136 all out
27:38from 48 overs
27:40and three balls.
27:42De Freitas
27:43and Neil Smith
27:45the pick of the bowlers
27:45for England.
27:46Neil Smith
27:47three for 29
27:47from his
27:49nine and a half
27:49overs.
27:51De Freitas
27:51two nine overs
27:52and three balls
27:53two for 16.
27:55Cork and Goff
27:56more expensive
27:57in the context
27:58of this match.
27:59Illingworth
27:59conceding just
28:0025 runs
28:02from ten overs
28:02and one wicket.
28:05This is the story
28:06in Peshire.
28:06England are about
28:07to start their
28:08innings
28:08and they're chasing
28:091-3-7.
28:111-3-7 to win.
28:12That's Alex Stewart
28:13out there
28:14and with him
28:15we expect to be
28:16opening the...
28:16no question in my
28:18mind
28:19Stewart and Atherton
28:20wouldn't hesitate.
28:28Four slashing runs
28:30from Neil Smith
28:31outside the off stump.
28:33England are on the way
28:341-37 to win this match.
28:37I mean this shot
28:38is a prime example
28:39little medium pace
28:40a bit of wits
28:41and he's just thrown
28:43the back at the ball
28:43and got away
28:44with a sort of
28:45thickish edge
28:45for runs.
28:52Well he's whacked
28:52that one into a gap
28:53on the offside
28:54there's no real power
28:55in it
28:55maybe that's why
28:56he wants to change
28:57the bat.
29:02Three runs.
29:08That's nicely played
29:09well timed.
29:15good solid shot
29:17by Alex Stewart
29:18three runs
29:18just wide at mid on
29:1916 for Nowakit
29:22was very close
29:27for cutting
29:28but he played it
29:28perfectly
29:29it didn't quite seem
29:32the length to me
29:33or the line
29:34but Jeff will tell me
29:35I'm totally wrong
29:36all my eyes going
29:36no your eyes aren't
29:38going
29:38he does play
29:39an orthodox
29:40that's why he bats
29:41first for Warwickshire
29:42tried a late cut
29:44off brightly
29:45looked like
29:47about my age
29:48feeling at first
29:48slip
29:48when he got
29:49put his hand
29:49down for that
29:50that's a skipper
29:54at slip
29:54Sultan Zarwani
29:55well he smashed
30:01that straight
30:01down the ground
30:02terrific
30:04keep
30:0534
30:0635
30:07to get
30:09a couple
30:09of wickets
30:10you know
30:11just make inroads
30:12into England
30:13I feel
30:14they've had
30:14some success
30:15dropped it
30:23mid on
30:24he couldn't
30:24hold on
30:25Saeed
30:31Al Sapa
30:32the substitute
30:32at mid on
30:33just letting
30:35his teammates
30:35down
30:36yeah I think
30:37he ran at this
30:37he never steadied
30:38himself
30:39did he
30:39sort of
30:39ran at it
30:40he never
30:41went to the side
30:43and just steadied
30:43himself for the catch
30:45he seemed to be
30:45sort of
30:45running at it
30:47at speed
30:48never got himself
30:50settled
30:50to catch it
30:51and gone
31:01Stewart
31:02hitting the ball
31:03in the air
31:04Ganesh
31:05at short mid
31:06wicket
31:06takes the catch
31:07so England
31:08have lost
31:08their first
31:09wicket
31:09Alex Stewart
31:11has been
31:11dismissed
31:12for 23
31:14England
31:1552 for
31:16one
31:16now
31:16well I did
31:19say that if
31:20England were going
31:20to lose a wicket
31:21it were only going to be
31:22through a bad shot
31:23just shoved it
31:25straight in the air
31:26at the fielder
31:27nice easy catch
31:29to take
31:29right in the gut
31:30right in the tummy
31:32and it's just a poor shot
31:3452 for one
31:36beautiful piece of timing
31:47on the leg stump
31:49no ball
31:50put away for four
31:51in exquisite style
31:53by Neil Smith
31:54single to Smith
32:05bring Thorpe
32:06on to strike
32:06you mentioned
32:10a match winning
32:10innings by Alex Stewart
32:12it's been a long time
32:13since we've seen one
32:14Jeffrey
32:15oh dear
32:20well
32:30I'd have to go off
32:31I think Bob
32:32he obviously
32:34wasn't feeling well
32:35and now we know
32:35he's not very well
32:36he's a lot better now
32:39I don't think he want
32:44any more of that
32:45don't get too near
32:59away in the physio
33:00dear oh dear
33:04problems that face
33:08a lot of players
33:10on their first visit
33:11to this part of the world
33:13the sympathy
33:15from the opposition
33:16stage or another
33:18England captain
33:21Michael Atherton
33:21going to come in
33:22at number four
33:23to replace
33:24Neil Smith
33:25Smith fought
33:26very hard there
33:27he indicated
33:28about 10 overs ago
33:30that he wasn't
33:31feeling too well
33:32he soldiered on
33:33manfully
33:34but he's going to
33:37retire ill
33:39having made 27
33:42that's what I say
33:43even the captain
33:44have a little
33:44everybody laughs a bit
33:46when somebody else
33:46is unwell in India
33:47and Pakistan
33:48a lot better
33:48he can always say
33:50that his first match
33:51for England
33:51in the Wills World Cup
33:52he did
33:53had a pretty good game
33:5427 of 31 balls
33:56three wickets
33:57Neil Smith
34:00retired ill
34:01and very ill
34:02yes a well-known
34:16approach to go
34:17over the wicket
34:18and ball up
34:18middle and leg
34:19and try and
34:20tie him up a bit
34:20but then you'd
34:21certainly have a man
34:22just back at
34:22square saving one
34:23there
34:29where he hasn't
34:32a man
34:32and that's why
34:33there's a big gap
34:33there and the ball
34:34runs away
34:34for four runs
34:36played
34:37Thorpe spotted
34:40the area
34:40that was unprotected
34:41and with
34:44the bowler
34:45over the wicket
34:46pitching leg stump
34:47all he had to do
34:48was help it
34:49on his way
34:4965 to win
34:51for England
34:51Raza to Atherton
34:55that's a good cut shot
34:57that's beaten
34:59Zirwani
35:00he's got a knee
35:01problem
35:02he won't be able
35:02to chase that
35:03four more runs
35:05that was a better
35:05looking shot
35:06yes I think
35:08I think that stroke
35:09would have probably
35:09beaten most fielders
35:11he's hit it
35:11really very fine
35:12nicely played
35:13late cut
35:13rolled the wrists
35:14I really don't know
35:15why Zirwani
35:16chose the field
35:17there
35:17he needs to get in
35:19whether he's got
35:19people either side
35:20of him
35:20he's got very weak
35:22knees
35:22he's had problems
35:23with his knees
35:24and he's very
35:25exposed there
35:26Thorpe down the wicket
35:34very confidently
35:35that'll be four more
35:36excellent use of the feet
35:43that's good
35:45batsmanship
35:46down the wicket
35:48and back down
35:49the wicket
35:49place to hit it
35:50he went early
35:56got to the pitch
35:56of the ball
35:57and then the
35:58maker's name
35:59anything
36:00just closing
36:01the face
36:01fractionally
36:02done it again
36:06just as good
36:09that's good
36:11batting
36:11certainly
36:14what I remember
36:15of Graham Thorpe
36:16in 1994
36:17when
36:18South Africa
36:19toured England
36:19just how straight
36:20the bat was
36:21and how
36:21nicely he played
36:22in the v
36:23okay
36:23and that
36:24this is against
36:25the spinner
36:25but he was like
36:26that against
36:26the seamers too
36:27two beautiful
36:28strokes
36:28great
36:29somewhat
36:30full toss
36:34Thorpe's back
36:43to three
36:44England
36:46accelerating
36:46away
36:47bowled him out
36:58Michael Atherton
37:01clean bowled by
37:03Saeed
37:03success at last
37:05for the Emirates
37:06England 109 for two
37:08Atherton out for 20
37:10and then he hit over
37:14the top of it
37:15go inside it
37:17round it
37:18that was the end
37:20of the story
37:20didn't turn at all
37:21through the gap
37:22between
37:22bet and pad
37:23England 109 for two
37:27now
37:27Neil Fairbrother
37:33the new batsman
37:35for England
37:35two left handers
37:38in together now
37:39have a look at the
37:45end of Michael
37:46Atherton
37:46what happened
37:46here Robin
37:47he's looked to get
37:49down the wicket
37:50he's playing it
37:50onside
37:51which is
37:52fair enough
37:54because he hasn't
37:54really turned the
37:55ball
37:55the ball's angled
37:56in at him
37:56so there's nothing
37:57wrong with where
37:58he was trying to
37:58play it
37:59all that was wrong
37:59was that he missed
38:00it
38:00fairbrother off the
38:03mark
38:04that just coming
38:11down across the
38:12line of the ball
38:13beautiful timing
38:30that's the shot
38:31that Thorpe was
38:32looking for
38:32the ball before
38:33England on
38:36217
38:37big shot by the
38:47keeper
38:47the bowler joins
38:48in latterly
38:48umpire
38:49Kure says
38:50not out
38:51well
38:56round the wicket
38:57to
38:57fairbrother
38:58as well
38:58angled across
38:59him
38:59fairbrother
39:00pushes at
39:01it
39:01was only a
39:03push
39:04impossible to
39:05tell from here
39:06whether there's a
39:07deflection or not
39:08the bowler wasn't
39:09all that interested
39:10early on
39:11which is
39:12indicative
39:12perhaps
39:13great shots
39:14as Thorpe has
39:16done along the
39:16way
39:17well having said
39:25that he
39:25swings across the
39:27line
39:27he's rushed away
39:28before
39:28and let's look at
39:30the umpire
39:31four byes
39:32128 for two
39:37well he's just
39:47trying to lap it
39:47from outside off
39:48stump
39:49get his pad there
39:49so that if he
39:50misses it
39:51it won't come in
39:52and hit the stump
39:53so he obviously
39:54didn't read it
39:54because he was a
39:55googly
39:55and that's hit a
40:02gap too
40:03that's four runs
40:04for fairbrother
40:05I think when
40:12you're a team
40:13like the UAE
40:14that's playing
40:14against bigger
40:16boys in the
40:17big competition
40:17you've got to
40:19start to learn
40:20and look at
40:21your performance
40:22and learn things
40:23from it
40:24and the two
40:26things I'd
40:27noticed is that
40:27from the
40:28legsman's point
40:29of view
40:29he's bowling
40:29far too many
40:30full tosses
40:30and for the
40:31medium pace
40:32he's the ball
40:33far too many
40:33no more
40:34he's going to
40:35milk you
40:35for singles
40:36scores are tied
40:49and that's it
41:07England win
41:08Graham Thorpe
41:08strikes the ball
41:09through the covers
41:10one sided
41:11contest
41:12but for England
41:19it's the first
41:19win in this
41:20group B
41:21they win by
41:22eight wickets
41:22140 for two
41:23so at last
41:25England's losing
41:26run comes to an
41:27end at the
41:27seventh time of
41:28asking and all
41:29in all it was a
41:29pretty satisfactory
41:30performance
41:31England's batsmen
41:32on a hiding to
41:33nothing but
41:33apart from
41:34Stuart and
41:34Atherton
41:34no mistakes
41:35and two
41:36points the
41:36result
41:37the bowling
41:37well
41:38predictably
41:39indifferent
41:40so
41:40Michael
41:41nice to
41:42get a win
41:42under your
41:43belt
41:43yeah it's the
41:44first two
41:44points and
41:45it was a
41:45fairly
41:45comprehensive
41:46win for us
41:46how's the
41:48injury situation
41:49it looked to
41:49be a bad
