*Official* England in Pakistan (T20, September 2022)

[SillyCowCorner1]

****ing WillowTV is not showing this match at all today after showing the match yesterday.

Why you might ask? Because they are literally waiting for the grass to dry! The India match.

I wanna see Bobby-Rizzy partnership continue today.

Excellent stuff by Brook and Duckett. Brook could be playing himself into the side for the World t20s. Both pushing their claims for the 50 over stuff in India next year - especially with no Morgan and Stokes in the middle order.

Those long levers of Brook were a treat to watch.

 

[kevinw]

Excellent batting. Duckett and Brook have really taken their chance.

England need to get one of the openers out in the PP for once. Pretty please.

 

[trundler]

Yeah we're not chasing this

 

[kevinw]

Woohoo a Power Play wicket!!!

uh wood just topped 97mph

remember when he used to bowl off that awful short run up and barely hit 85mph?

 

[chris.hinton]

Told you what will happen. We assessed the situation, learned a few things, tried a few things out

And look we are coasting to victory. Coaching, Development, Assessment are the key factors

 

[anil1405]

End this misery now.

 

[chris.hinton]

Pakistan hit a 6..... meh who cares they are not going to win

I remember him always bowling high 80s or mid 90s depending on format. The reason to change to a longer run up was to help his body deal with bowling at such high pace

 

[trundler]

I'm just happy to see some innovative shots from the middle order. A reverse sweep, even.

Yeah, it's significant because ever since Buttler has moved up to open in T20s (and more so with Morgan out the picture) we've lacked specialist middle order players. All the other batsmen we've been playing recently would rather be batting up top.

 

[chris.hinton]

And Wood bowling 97 mph.....improvement

Livingstone, Ali and Brook at 4-6, in whatever order, sounds good to me.

Can any one justify Curran as a bowler with his slow to medium pace.He is a nice break for the batsmen

He's better than Willey. Likely to be a toss up between him and Jordan at 8 imo. Wood and Topley are certs.

Jordan offers that death overs expertise even if I'm not sure that works half the time while Curran offers good batting depth ... options options

wood is the quickest english bowler of all time right?
