http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755 vs England – 2nd ODI – Toss Report
England skipper, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Imtiaz-Sheikh-c64290 Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi, February 15, 2012.
The tourists named an unchanged lineup from the one, which demolished their opponents by a whopping 130-run margin. Also there was no shuffling to the batting order with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/KP-Pietersen-c1806 opening the innings. Cook was content with the composition and felt relieved after guiding his team to victory with a career-highest 137.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Asad-Shafiq-c46208 at the crucial no.3 position.
The hosts further tinkered with their bowling department, leaving http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Wahab-Riaz-c95839 out, with Aizaz Cheema replacing the left-armer, whose return to the side ended in a disappointment after his seven overs in the opening game went for 47 runs.
However, the significant change came in the shape of Abdur Rehman, who was included in the playing XI at the expense of all-rounder, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Shoaib-Malik-c90088. The left-arm spinner, along with Saeed Ajmal, was England’s chief tormentors in the Test series and will be hoping to guide his team to their first success in the series.
The toss report performed by Nick knight suggested another batting track where respective captains will be hoping to bat first after winning the toss. However, the pitch is the same one where the final Test match was played and Knight expected the spinners to get more turn as the game progresses.
