Zac taking lessons from Marnus.

 

[Chubb]

Just a bit of $ortune for £rawley

 

[Prince EWS]

This match could be 1000 v 1000. Especially given the bowling standards.

Zahid has become a real specialist at taking 4/150 on roads. Horses for courses pick.

Lol such a bad dive from Ali

Who is this ****? Totally uninspiring. Feel like he's been selected just to be a bowling machine for this road.

Xuhaib was hoping for something like a pre-injury Abbas.

Looks more like a post-injury Abbas tbh. Then again I reckon a pre-injury Abbas would be getting flogged on this pitch too.

Naseem has actually bowled really well.

Naseem has actually bowled really well.

Unfortunately for Pakistan there’s basically nothing after him, though.

 

[Daemon]

Anderson will still take 3-45 on this

Anderson will still take 3-45 on this

He will have 1/40 off 20 overs and then knock over the #10 and #11.

WAG.

 

[Prince EWS]

Athers just laying into the pitch immediately

 

[Prince EWS]

I'm genuinely just sitting at home laughing at the pitch after every ball.

Chuckling away. It's great.

Reminder that this is historically the most pace friendly deck in Pakistan when not doctored by the National Highway Authority. Hasan Ali has a 10fer here.

This match already headed for a boring draw isn't it?

 

[Prince EWS]

"There was a little bit more grass on it"

Yeah, there's a little bit more grass even on actual roads than this.

 

[Everton Seymour]

The last Rawalpindi Test , Australia and Pakistan played to a draw ...
1187 runs was scored in the match with the loss of 14 wickets .
Pakistan ended day 5 on 252/0 ...It could be that kinda test again, wonder what the odds were for a draw in this match ?

The only interest is seeing just how far Bazball can take you on this wicket. Fast scoring on a total road could legit see records broken.

Imagine having a team 450/6 and out comes Livingstone.

On Day 1.

Imagine having a team 63/0 after 10 overs and then bringing on a 35 year debutant leg spinner with a FC average of 37.

But ive got to say England are a treat to watch with this new approach, it could be revolutionary..I'm pretty sure if Bazball is successful the other teams are going to copy it ...It will probably cause the extinction of players like Elgar though , but then again that's evolution.

And he gets switch hit and then scooped in his first over

This pitch is so bad.

this isn’t going to work on pitches that have more for bowlers like South African ones. I’d wait before calling for the demise of the blockers
