England test tour of Pakistan December 2022

[OverratedSanity]

Well that wasn't smart

 

[Burgey]

This game was always one which was gonna have that timely wicket to make it really close again.

Nawaz(3) almost the hero, but couldn't resist having a fiddle down the leg side.

England had the opportunity to bat Pakistan out of the game in their second innings and instead were very complacent.

That's how they are going to play their cricket from here on. In the process of playing bazball cricket if they lose one or two this way, so be it.

But this change in English aggressive approach is here to stay.

Pak should fancy their chances. All 3 of their tailenders have shown they can hang around. All upto Salman and Saul now.

From narcissistic to complacent.

 

[Burgey]

That's hit the ground but soft signal is out so will probably be given.

Gloves work against the keeper there imo because if it was an outfielder you can't see the fingers but the gloves are white and there's plainly a gap between them as the ball hits the deck.

 

[ashley bach]

New tactic: bowl short down leg side and wait for a tickle.

 

[Burgey]

Actually the more I look at that the more blatantly it is not out.

As you said impossible to overturn though. Stupid umpires call strikes again.

 

[Burgey]

Oh jeez that's terrible. Even Atherton is subdued about it.

Lol oh it's Joel Wilson, of course he went England's way. The man is blatantly incompetent and has form

Nah the more you looked at it the more obvious it was his gloves were apart and the ball kissed the deck. Terrible decision.

Mind you, I don't know why he was playing that shot.

 

[trundler]

That's a rough decision to cop at this stage. Cheating umpiring in Pakistan again. They were always going to choke though

 

[Gob]

Oh jeez that's terrible. Even Atherton is subdued about it.

How come this guy officiating international games?

 

[ashley bach]

And that will certainly make England enjoy their lunch, hard one to take for Pakistan.

Yeah but Bazball wasn’t needed then. 90 runs ahead on Day 2 at the start of the innings. And two run outs is just indefensible.

 

[BazBall21]

England copped a couple of rough ones from Joel in the Caribbean tour

 

[Burgey]

lol that's a shocking review. Surprised Joel Wilson didn't get them over the line with it though

 

[Shady Slim]

lol those are such ****ty wickets if you're pakistan, cf what it took from leach to break the final stand in the last test

hate seeing a great match decided by two strangles down leg like that it feels like such a deflater tbh

Think the fact that wood is the one who got the leg side strangles plays a bit of a part here tbh. Bloke bowling 150+ consistently is gonna have any batter in two minds, especially in a deck with a bit of inconsistent bounce.
