*Official* Pakistan in England and Ireland 2016

Send Amir up and tell him to cut the slogging he was trying the other day

Would be an idea, at least though demoting Riaz is a good idea, has modelling his batting on Broad over the years

 

[greg]

The latter I think. Suspect they'll look to try someone else shortly when you have the batting depth provided by Woakes and Stokes.

England are getting to the stage where they can seriously consider playing 2 spinners and 4 seamers. Stokes at 5, Bairstow 6, Ali 7, Woakes 8, Broad 9, spinner 10, Anderson 11.

If the other spinner was Rashid they would have a ridiculous lower order.

 

[91Jmay]

Need them all out within next 30-40 runs. Any more is far to many.

 

[burr]

Ball and James Faulkner must be long lost brothers.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Says a lot that a bloke on debut is trusted more than Finn. Finn will be dropped and that may be his last test for a long time.

 

[rumi]

Misbah Proves himself again.

 

[Daemon]

Crowds really getting behind them now

 

[91Jmay]

Can't afford to drop chances. Finn bowled a good over there and would have deserved that.

 

[Daemon]

this is the flukiest innings ever from Yasir, WAG.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Yep. Can we take the gloves off Bairstow. How many more.

 

[fredfertang]

Dropped the bloody series

 

[Black_Warrior]

My goodness how unlucky has Finn been in this spell? Poor guy gotta feel for him. As FJ said, this will probably be his last test unless someone gets injured again

 

[Compton]

Yasir

 

[Black_Warrior]

What a shot from Yasir

 

[Black_Warrior]

Dropped the bloody series

A bit much that sir

 

[Daemon]

Gotta feel for Finn there, but I really hate ****s who lose their temper like that on the field.

 

[91Jmay]

****ing awful. Bairstow as a keeper will continue to be an issue. Not sure why the selectors are just happy to pretend it isn't. Game over now, they will get 50 to many at least.

 

[Daemon]

Come around the wicket and get Yasir to waft behind imo

 

[flibbertyjibber]

So who do we pick as keeper then? Buttler is injured so he is ruled out. Keeper in for Vince and Bairstow to 4 or 5.
