1 good ball aside this has been awful from Pakistan so far.

Its somewhat of an overrated bowling line up to be fair and an absolute shadow of the 2010 attack. Their was huge debate over which two from Rahat/Imran/Sohail/Riaz they would go with it before this test and you can understand why when watching this. I'd be shocked if at least one of the 2 picked were not dropped before end of the series.

I think the tactic is just to bowl whatever fairly quickly until the ball is old enough that Yasir can take it.

I think Imran Khan has been hard done to, he bowled well against us in the UAE and would add more variety to the attack than Rahat.

Really poor shot that from Hales. Clearly is a tactic, reckon we could get rolled here if we aren't careful.

Get Hameed in for the second Test - that was disgraceful - Hales should be banished for pulling a stunt like that

Is it just me or is Amir bowling much slower than he used to? I remember him being closer the 90+mph mark?

Part of the reason for the impression that Pakistan are bowling poorly is because England have been going after every loose ball. If you try to go after every loose ball you are going to make misjudgements and get out.

Ha, I was in the process of writing a post agreeing with your point.

We are both idiots:laugh:

Rahat is an absolute enigma, can bowl some corkers, but if you get on top of him, he is very fragile, that is why he has been in and out of the test side.
