*Official* Pakistan in England 2020

Naseem has been a bit all over the place but Crawley's shot selection has been gun.

 

[Starfighter]

Crawley ain't crawling this morning.

 

[ImpatientLime]

sheesh he is easy on the eye.

languid batsman are so fun to watch

 

[Pothas]

I like the way Sibley just plays his own game, the guy at the other end is rattling along but Sibley doesn't try and match him just stays in his bubble. Can think of a few players of recent times who would try to match Crawley and throw their wicket away.

Dunno Sibley is basically flying along today with 22 from 45.

Agree, he is a big positive from this summer.

 

[Howe_zat]

That wasn't very Siblish.

Think he's gone.

No idea what Strauss is wobbling on about competition for places at the top of the order. Sibley is about the firmest in position and hardly sure about him.

 

[Pothas]

Did not see that coming.

 

[Starfighter]

Get ready for the straight one.

Nailed it.

 

[morgieb]

Good decision. Very important wicket.

Me and my big mouth.

Had a good summer though.

Brought the man up from midwicket and Sibley has no scoring options. Dopey shot though, was absolutely no run rate pressure.

 

[StephenZA]

That almost felt like he failed to run down the pitch... just got nowhere.

 

[Howe_zat]

Yeah that's the first time all summer I've been annoyed with Sibley, he really didn't need to change game plan.

Cracking appeal from Yasir

Its the bad kind of competition for places where no one's place is secure because none of them are great. S

Practically guaranteed the review.

This is a constant surprise for me. How English cricket is always struggling for batsmen. Even when picking players who aren't doing great or don't look great, the reply is "well actually we have nobody better?" And that is baffling for me.

 

[honestbharani]

Naseem and Crawley are so awesome. Hope they can keep their head straight and be awesome cricketers for the next 10-12 years.

Pope and Shaheen are good too, personally rate Naseem and Crawley above them though, respectively.

 

[Burgey]

Decent bouncer that

 

[Uppercut]

Different game since that Sibley wicket.

Root has to be the dumbest high class batsman in world cricket.
