6th Match - England v Pakistan

[Daemon]

That’s how you do it Australia

Quality tampering

 

[harsh.ag]

Killed the momentum. So much cake required now.

 

[Malcolm]

England did the same too

 

[mr_mister]

I actually thought both Hafeez and Malik were both banned from bowling lol. I feel they've both been reported for chucking several times

Nasser and Kumar (which sounds like a comedy duo) making salient points on the absurdity off two new balls.

England did the same too

But hadn't already taken two wickets.

 

[trundler]

Good signs. Morgan is uncomfortable.

Nas telling it like it is

 

[Burgey]

Morgan is genuinely terrible against short stuff. Should never be captain if that’s the case. It’s embarrassing.

'Kookaburra's product can't stand up to conditions? Right, we'll buy twice as many of them' (doubling their income stream).

 

[mr_mister]

Wouldn't have been much easier to bat first when it was sunny and the legs were fresh and there was less pressure?

I hope this puts the bowl first meme to rest

Have people finally started to admit it was a terrible change? Seem to remember tons of people on CW trying to defend it a few years ago. Kumar has been talking about it for ages.

SC sides have decades of experience tbf. Australians got caught at their first attempt.

Some of my favourite CWisms:


Player x is 'untenable'
'salient point'

 

[Burgey]

Ffs Root. If you can’t ****ing see, get off the park .

 

[cnerd123]

Pak doing alright IMO. Could be fielding better, but 73/2 in 12 is a decent start. And they're producing chances as well.

Big task ahead of England here.

I think part of the thinking that it might be not bad was that there might be conventional swing for longer.

I personally think it's very deliberate that the Kookaburra white ball doesn't swing at all, even when when new, to make things batting friendly.

 

[Daemon]

Lol imagine getting a grown man being paid a couple of grand a game to run out to the middle just to blow an eyelash out your eye

 

[trundler]

Poor field placement

 

[trundler]

Hafeez isn't much worse than Moeen. If he can hack it Pakistan are golden.
