**Official** Pakistan and England in the UAE 2015/16

[wpdavid]

Had no idea what the result of that 2001 test would be but it wasn't that surprising.

Don't know why people complain about the not calling of no balls these days, didn't seem to do it a lot back then either Also, that technology looked so dodgy ffs.

That's a really random post. Have I missed something?

Buttler would be my pick

 

[Howe_zat]

If I brought Taylor in for the next test I'd have him opening the batting. Then make a call on which of Moeen, Stokes or Buttler I need in the field.

Botham who was yesterday talking about an England win is now talking about combinations for the third test

thanks for the early call on whether or not to mute the tv

Oh Jos

 

[NUFAN]

In place of?

Probably Bairstow, despite making a reasonable contribution today. If Bairstow's keeping is good enough, then Buttler is under pressure.

 

[fredfertang]

groan - give Bairstow the gauntlets

 

[King Pietersen]

JIMMEH. Jos lucky to get away with that one. Only cost 1 run.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

**** off Buttler.

 

[fredfertang]

Better Jimmy gets the scalp than Broad - maybe it turned out for the best

I can see Azhar Ali in the dressing room. That's good news.

Presume he replaces Shan Masood.

 

[Cabinet96]

Shan Masood has faced 17 balls against Jimmy and got out 4 times. Probably best not to take him to England.

I disagree. They should definitely bring him to England

Yeah I think we are fast getting to the point when it is Buttler or Bairstow not both.

 

[Cabinet96]

I've come to the conclusion that Broad doesn't deal with heat very well.

 

[Black_Warrior]

Yeah unless Shafiq's injury is serious. No one has actually talked about it in the commentary either.

Too close to the sun lanky git.

And Shoaib Malik making an excellent case of why he should not be in the test team a week after making 245. This is why I was happy for his 245 but not really happy for his 245 last week.
