True - tbf I can see how that is different to viewing a white ball.

Yep, I recently made this exact point regarding Gilchrist's role in Australia's recent dominance.

England have collapsed spectacularly...was always on the cards,tbh.Amir is a genius....definitely among the 3 best fast bowlers in the world.With Yosaf back there is no way Pakistan will collapse in pursuit of 140.

That was brilliant viewing despite it being my lot collapsing.Fair play to the coaching staff and bowlers as they looked down as they went off for tea but whatever was said worked a treat.
Should be an easy Pakistan win from here but this is Pakistan and don't do easy.

2 or 3 quick wickets or if they get Yousef quickly and it will be twitchy bums time.

Doubt it...140 is too low tbh....besides,that win against Aus would have instilled some confidence in Pak's players.They'll feel that if they can chase 180 against Aus without Yosaf,then they can def. chase 140 with him.

Find it utterly strange for that coming out of an Englishman's mouth.

Come on, we are talking about a team that has managed 2 low scores in 2 tests of 72 and 80 or what ever they were,it maybe not the same swinging conditions,but it's turning and it's the 4th innings,I'm not saying they aren't favourites at this point,but a few early wickets and all their insecurities and doubts will surface.

We are talking of a team that's scored the highest total in this match too
Look I agree that Pak haven't had a great time chasing but I think they buried their ghosts @ Headingly.2-3 wickets in quick succession will cause a few jitters,sure,but 140 is just too low.One half decent partnership and it's all over for Eng.

Like I said Pakistan are favs,but come tomorrow I wouldn't be massively surprised if there was a exciting finish to the match.We'll after wait & see.We are talking of a team that's scored the highest total in this match too

This is unbelievable. I spend 4 hours watching England bat themselves back into the game, as well as Cook back into form, and can be forgiven for thinking we look more comfortable. Then i go off for 1 measly hour and we've lost 6 wickets for like 30 runs! 4 hours of my life completely wasted! And ANOTHER batting collapse, something like the 4th or 5th of the series...
...seriously, you still optimistic England fans, WE'RE GOING TO LOSE, GET OVER IT. There is no way a confident Pakistan side with Yousuf will fail chasing 150, so i have no idea where this phony confidence is coming from...
...and no, for the FINAL time, our batting is not fine for the Ashes, nor is our bowling...

Pak should win this comfortably as far as i see it...the only threat i see is Swann...Anderson and Finn have their wings cut off now...Broad...hmmmmm...could be threatening but not as much as Swanny.

Think we needed another 80 runs to make it competitive, this pitch is not like the ones that Pak got out for under 100. England have really batted poorly over two innings, credit to the oppo, they've taking advantage, but there's been precious few genuine wicket-taking deliveries.
Swanneh should be dangerous, but would need more runs to be properly effective, IMHO.

Well **** me, I might as well not bother watching tomorrow,seen as it's a done deal,after everything we've seen this series how is it a phony confidence,infact I'm not confident, never said I was, just said a few wickets would make it interesting which it would.I'm hopeful just like all England fans,what's it to you if I had some confidence.
