England test tour of Pakistan December 2022

[TheGreatest]

Throughout the series England has been brilliant but at the same time Pakistan has been terribly poor. Never seen a home team struggle in their own conditions excluding Bangladesh and Zimbabwe.
Pakistani cricket and their approach towards the game is an enigma to me.

Pakistan have been a disgrace. At least put up a fight. we are still experimenting with our side and style

Simply pathetic!
I think they don't enjoy playing Tests.

Do any other countries have a young, legspinning Ahmed waiting to debut? They're gonna be all the rage after this series.

I think England should have send there U19 team to Pakistan. Even the young lads would have won this series.

Pakistan have never really recovered from that 1st test defeat which let's be honest was a truly horrible defeat.

That pitch was the most placid, docile strip you could imagine but through England's agressive attacking style, Pakistan eventually collapsed to defeat after scoring nearly 600 in their 1st knock.

Pakistan could still win this match. They've got a fragile lead but only need to bat one more session, with allrounders at the crease, to get it over 200. Then England are batting last away from home on a pitch where spinners are taking all the wickets, which ins't traditionally a recipe for success for them.

Crap post. Not just an insult to the hosts either, but also how well England have played for long stretches of this tour.

Joe Root turning it

Pitch is obviously below standard

Hey...I'm appreciating the talent England have. Look at that 18 year old chap!

Think the target will be 150-170

Warne averaged 28 in Pakistan. Ahmed is better.

Yes start the innings like a T20. Pakistan will panic and not recover.

Elsewhere, people are posting about the 2012 UAE match when England were skittled for 72 chasing 140+.

We prodded our way to that. We would be on 72 in 15 overs this time.

Still treat it like a T20 chase.
