*Official* Pakistan in England and Ireland 2016

[Black_Warrior]

Does Pakistan actually have anyone better? .

No

 

[Spark]

Wow I do not know how that happened.

 

[Dan Jamson]

Broad can be so stubbornly **** at times. Just take him off.

EDIT - just bowled Shafiq

 

[Groundking]

They feel they can trouble Misbah and co with the short ball which isn't entirely a bad ploy..but this is probably not the pitch for this.

What's the point when they're not even getting him to play at the short stuff?

 

[CarlsbergXpress]

Wow I do not know how that happened.

Missed a straight one.

 

[Spark]

Missed a straight one.

Indeed. Always surprising when it happens like that, you'd want to think it isn't quite that simple to get a Test-standard batsman out.

 

[Groundking]

Get Misbah out ASAP here and we're right into this game again

 

[Scaly piscine]

That run to draw the scores level just about sums it up. England are lucky they're still in this.

 

[Daemon]

Pakistan have to bat last so this game isn't over by any means. That Azhar wicket off the last ball has really ****ed with their chance of putting up a big lead.

Get either and we have an opening to the tail who could go quickly. Need this next wicket though.

 

[Niall]

Does Pakistan actually have anyone better? If there's a chance Younus can recover it's work it IMO.

He is done, dude is close 40(some say older) and has been bullying on the roads in the UAE and has been found out once he left his comfort zone.

The next series is against the West Indies, a perfect chance to get in a young player such as Azam or Sohail assuming he is fit.

England slight favourites for this test now, Pakistan have a nothing tail.

They are one run aheaf with only rabbits to come,, England are very much in this game.

Do you really expect us to run though them well with how crap we've bowled this innings?

good point.

Amir, Sohail and Rahat will struggle will need England to be very much off their game to last to long though.

 

[91Jmay]

Need another before lunch. Pakistan only one partnership away from winning the game.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Got to get one of these out first. Capable of a hundred partnership here and putting England out of it. Just because we have had a decent 90 minutes doesn't mean we are on top.

 

[MW1304]

You'd think that wicket might get Broad to turn it on even just a little but nope.

Hasn't got anything off straight today.

 

[Groundking]

He's been a massive disappointment all summer, not owned a single innings yet, let alone a test, like he likes to do every so often.

Talk of the pitch is silly buggers. Pakistan are outplaying us in every facet, that is why they are on top. End.

Yes they're outplaying us, yes our bowling has been crap, yes they deserve to lead the series if they continue in this fashion. But, watching Misbah dead bat his way to 50 as if he were playing in Dubai is a shocking indictment of the pitch. No denying it imo.
