Holy **** Pakistan! Congrats guys, well played. Was the pitch helpful for spin bowling or was it just crap batting that caused the collapse?

anyways LOL@England.

Both but the latter to an extreme degree. But Pakistan did everything right.

The trouble I have with Morgs is that there's so very much going on in his initial trigger movements. He steps across, crouches and then pivots on his back foot before playing. He actually does (when in nick) end up playing pretty straight, but because he's so "busy" it only takes one of his tics to be fractionally off and he loses his off stump.

I love the boy, because he's a ballsy lad, but I just don't quite think he has the chops for test cricket. He earned the right to fail, based on his limited overs form, but I think it's time to say he hasn't quite made it.

Yeah, this has been mentioned quite a lot. Tbf, his trigger movements have increased markedly in the last six months or so. They didn't use to be so bizarre. Personally I'm just puzzled with why he changes the way he bats from tests to ODIs. Should be taking the attack to the bowlers far more in the longer version, he's a strokemaker not a stonewaller.

It's not just wierd but also agonising. I would have preferred it if the quicks had destroyed England instead of the spinners (I know it's unfair).

Exactly, the others haven't become awful players overnight. 2 poor games after 3 good years should not mean wholesale changes. If they carry on having problems through the Sri lanka tour and the English summer then yes make changes but not yet.

Bloody hell!

I forgot this was on tonight...just read a mate's Facebook update and wasn't sure whether he was being serious or not. That's an incredible result.

Often these trigger movements get exaggerated when players are under pressure or out of form.

I know I don't say this enough because your performance rarely satisfies me but I am so so so proud of you today Pakistan.. Nothing less than a 3-0 now.
