He's not a player who inspires feelings of any kind TBH, he's usually just content to exist beautifully.When did this Shafiq thing start? I can't really remember there being strong feelings on him before. Might have just missed it.

Yeah have seen that being the general consensus on him was just wondering when it started. Was it after Misbah and Younis retired? He seemed fine when they were around.He's not a player who inspires feelings of any kind TBH, he's usually just content to exist beautifully.
He just annoys me a bit for managing to go 70+ Tests with hardly a noticeable impact. He's clearly not ****, he has a decent technique, looks compact, plays some good shots. Never amounts to anything though.
He was expected to step up as the senior batsman in a frail lineup. Imagine having a discount Hooper who can't bowl as your best batsman.Yeah have seen that being the general consensus on him was just wondering when it started. Was it after Misbah and Younis retired?

They've got some good youngsters coming through so they should be fine going fawadLooks like for Pakistan the result of the first test match was a cause for Alam.

Yeah, fair call. Wouldn't put the mortgage on this England batting line up.Not what I expected and very sad to see Fawad go early but like the look of Abid Ali once again.
Just gonna state it again, we are never far away from an England lollapse.
I wasn't able to watch any of it, but I had heard that they bowled well. I suppose we're in similar territory to the previous test insofar as Pakistan are above par due to England's dropped catches. The weather forecast suggests that we'll actually get a full day's play but it will be overcast, so batting should be challenging.Such good bowling from England all day long. I'm honestly shocked they're not batting already.
