England test tour of Pakistan December 2022

[GIMH]

Or was he sick. I can’t remember now

 

[Sunil1z]

What happened to Foakes anyway? How come we've got no keeper?

Bazball requires no keeper and bowlers .
Only batsmen and spin quartet of Livingstone, Root, Leach and Jacks

Not a blade of grass anywhere on the square

Sick.

If this match moves towards a boring draw, I hope they decide the match by boundary counts.

 

[Starfighter]

If Jacks is going to bowl the offspin, what is Root gonna do in this match? Clearly superfluous to team requirements.

 

[White Ball]

Unless Pakistan do something stupid this will be a high scoring draw

If Jacks is going to bowl the offspin, what is Root gonna do in this match? Clearly superfluous to team requirements.

The best thing about our spin quartet isn't just their individual ability - which is undoubted - it's their complimentary skill sets. We've got all bases covered:

Leach: left arm orthodox
Root: part time offspin
Livingstone: part time offspin AND part time leg spin
Jacks: part time offspin.

Root has also bowled legspin. Disappointing to see no unorthodox leftie.

If I was Pakistan my sole purpose here would be to keep England in the field for 3 and 1/2 days...

Ramiz Raja will think on the same lines. Don't think about the win. Just go stay and get revenge.

Ollie Robinson bowls some tweakers too

Livingstone carrying a few pounds as only used to playing 40 overs

 

[GIMH]

Sick.

Sick of being in Pakistan!

 

[GIMH]

Sick of being in Pakistan!

It’s an Edge and Christian joke so don’t ****ing @ me

 

[TheJediBrah]

How has the part-time off-spinner already bowled 10 overs out of 30

 

[Burgey]

0/100 and quelle surprisement Anderson leaves the field

 

[Burgey]

Shadows lengthening so he’s back now

 

[TheJediBrah]

0/100 and quelle surprisement Anderson leaves the field

Only bowled 3 overs too. If this ball doesn't do anything for him watch him go off again. He'll bowl a quarter as many overs as the part-time spinner to protect his figures

 

[Burgey]

They’re talking about the pace he’s bowling but he’s into the 130s which is fine tbh
