**Official** Pakistan in England 2019

[trundler]

Thought there was an edge there

 

[Borges]

Woo! smalishah's curse really worked! This innings has sputtered, blown a gasket etc.

 

[trundler]

Vital runs. English bowling mediocrity continues.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Epic finish there

 

[trundler]

360 looks a lot better. No Yasir means Pakistan have saved 20 runs already. Game on.

I think that's generous to our bowlers; mediocrity would be something for David Willey to aspire to.
What's the story about Archer not playing in the 2nd and 3rd matches?

What's the story about Archer not playing in the 2nd and 3rd matches?

Clear indication that he is a certainty for the World Cup. That's the way I see it.

 

[Andy1993]

Should be playing all 5 games..picked to have a look pick him, bowl him get overs into his legs

Clear indication that he is a certainty for the World Cup. That's the way I see it.

Or maybe he's not a 10-over machine? lol

 

[trundler]

I hope that this breed of baseball inspired sloggers Bairstow and Zaman belong to is eradicated soon.

 

[trundler]

Pakistan deserve to lose now. Absolute dolly.

 

[smash84]

lol at that drop. What pathetic fielding.

 

[vcs]

No total is beyond these English biffers, apparently. I remember them chasing 350+ down and making it look absolutely routine a few months back in the Caribbean.

 

[smash84]

England will probably chase this in 42 overs

This

 

[Borges]

Oh God! This is what it is going to be like throughout that farce called the World Cup.
I wish I could somehow fast forward a few months.

I was thinking the same thing.

Absolutely no contest between bat and ball, if these are the kinds of wickets to be served up.

When pakistan can canter to 360, you know the wickets are awful.

 

[smash84]

don't we have anybody better than Shaheen Afridi?

 

[GoodAreasShane]

Hopefully the attempts to try and meme Denly into an allrounder will come to an end soon. He simply can't hack it with the ball at this level

 

[smash84]

Ok, off by 2 overs

 

[BSM]

350 plays 350 is good every once in a while, maybe good regularly, but it starts to become problematic when the majority of games play out that way, With one of the two last odis being at Trent Bridge I'm predicted even bigger scores there though
