*Official* Pakistan tour of Ireland, England and Scotland 2018

[OverratedSanity]

PSA:

Shadab already has a higher Test score in England in 1 innings than Virat Kohli. #JustSaying

Mate it's not exactly a high bar. The only Indian players with a lower average than Kohli that tour were Ishant, Varun Aaron, Pankaj Singh and the corpse of Gautam Gambhir

Well played Root. Look forward to him not doubling it.

 

[Darwin Award]

It really is mind boggling how phenomenal Joe Root is in reach his 50 consistently.Barely 2 tests go by where he doesn't register one.Something like 1 every 2.3 innings or something if I recall.Better than most of the all time greats.


Now that conversion mind you ....

 

[weldone]

Shadab has now reached the ATG/ATVG level of test average: 50

 

[trundler]

Cannot wait for the conversion rate to worsen further

Shadab's been pretty mediocre this spell, got lucky with his only wicket.

Exatly how I see all zombie films.

Slow but persistent (like GG).

 

[trundler]

Root 90 odd runs away from 6000.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Root will get 68

His test bowling career so far has been pretty mediocre.

How I miss Yasir now with runs behind his back

 

[fredfertang]

Root will get 68

No gambhiring please

 

[flibbertyjibber]

No gambhiring please

It like the guess the team scores we do, everyone expects Root to get out soon so may as well have a guess.

Oh my god what are you doing Pakistan you aren't supposed to catch.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Nah this is not going tomorrow

 

[nightprowler10]

Oh my god what are you doing Pakistan you aren't supposed to catch.

I really think this is the best I've ever seen Pakistan field, ever.

 

[Black_Warrior]

This is what I needed from Amir. Bowl a long spell with pace and effort and a wicket will come

 

[vcs]

Great catch. Pakistan excelling themselves in all departments here.

By the end of the summer, I suspect we'll be complaining that they only got 2 Tests while India got 5.

 

[morgieb]

Has everyone given up on Malan already? I think he could be pretty good.

Well tbf he's not young, and he doesn't have the best FC record. He did well in the Ashes but I'm still not really convinced. At least he's earned a shot unlike Vince/Stoneman though.
