and people dare criticise Bairstow?

Like you forget how **** these guys really are by not watching them for a while, and then you watch them field again and you want to vomit.

Bring back Kamran

2nd, according to CI earlier

Am not currently able to watch but I believe Cook now has the most runs opening the batting of anyone in Test match cricket. wafg

Cook 3 behind Gavaskar at the moment.

so demoralizing for the bowlers.

 

[Pratters]

The pitch is quite flat. Pakistan wasn't able to exploit that too much as a batting unit.

Ah right, he was 4 behind when I checked but a colleague said he had gone ahead, and I trusted them :|

This may destroy Amir's confidence...2 dropped catches on his return

 

[smash84]

Wow that's actually extraordinary that he's already so high up there. It's probably going to be one of the toughest batting records to break by the time he retires.

I am sure he is more than used to it. His first game this year had 3 dropped catches.

Well now Mickey Arthur will realize what he has got himself into. This is not South Africa or Australia. Here your bowlers need to take 15 wickets to bowl out the opposition.

Very flat, why I was happy getting 6 wickets yesterday.

Not saying we are going to win as it will be hard to get the 10 2nd innings wickets but if we bat sensibly we should have no problem saving this game and if we bat very well we can put pressure on Pakistan later in the game.

Kamran Akmal was a decent wicket keeper until the 2006 tour to England where he fell apart as a keeper, dropping such regulation chances and never really recovered. Wonder if Sarfraz will go through the same thing.

 

[Compton]

This fielding

 

[smash84]

the **** fielding makes me so mad, why do I bother following this **** unit

 

[MW1304]

They might have been bowling all over the place but this attack does look like it can consistently pick up wickets.

Sarfraz has always been a terrible keeper, although he's good to spin.

Yasir has been excellent so far.
