*Official* Pakistan in England 2020

[vcs]

and the whole ****ing point of the WTC at some point has to be to get India Vs Pak in neutral territory like England, right?

I think all this prospective Pakistan victory really does is spoil England's chances of getting to the final, TBH. The dropped Tests at home will cost them compared to India and Australia who never do that.

Not dying wondering then

Some beautiful shots here. Hope he doesn't spoon one up soon.

Tea might come at a decent time for Pakistan here.

Why do commentators often refer to players as "customers"? Just always felt so random and funny.

Uh oh

Career saving knock

English cultural quirk I think

Though Pakistan themselves may have designs of getting there if they win this series handsomely. Anyone put up the live/predicted table?

 

[honestbharani]

I am not talking specifically about this WTC cycle alone @vcs . Coz it seems its the only way we can get India Vs Pak.

 

[vcs]

It's still very unlikely. Both teams have to make the final.

Every team has to play each other at least once per WTC cycle, no? I thought that was the whole point.

 

[Spark]

Yeah Pakistan really need tea here. Another half hour to hour of this uninterrupted and their heads might well start to spin.

 

[honestbharani]

Yeah, I am just hoping here, not saying its likely or anything, lol. Although if they really cared, both BCCI and PCB can figure this out and play a nice little 3 test series in England.

Certainly not

We were all moaning about the variable difficulty of the schedule and NZ having a really good chance of making the final because of some soft assignments, weren't we?

Nah.. not in its current incarnation.

Wow that's bizarre then. How do you screw up the draw for a league with only ten teams is beyond me.

 

[honestbharani]

also rewards 2 test series a lot.

 

[trundler]

Naseem time

India are definitely not playing Pakistan unless forced to do so in a final. We've moaned about it for ages ffs
