What’s with the low scoring rate? Haven’t these boys learned anything?

they need another England tour soon enough

Good umpiring tbh

 

[Athlai]

Wicket in 5

Seems a hell of a long time ago now since Southee got Shakeel with that peach.

 

[trundler]

30 more please...

80 just in case he gets a second innings duck.

80 just in case he gets a second innings duck.

I'll take a not out triple for future proofing.

Am I right in thinking Babar right now is where KW was circa 2016?

 

[Socerer 01]

why is Mitchell keeping his hands on the knees even after the bowler is into his stride until the batsman strikes the ball? really lazy

Approx, but it's too early making comparisons with the great K.W.

Probably why he dropped one and missed another.

it is really hard to miss once you notice it and really ****ing annoying as he keeps doing it irrespective of pace or spin

 

[thierry henry]

Well, I managed to see 1 wicket

 

[_Ed_]

Finally.

 

[Socerer 01]

speak of the devil

 

[Moss]

That redeems things somewhat, Pakistan were running away with this otherwise.

 

[thierry henry]

jeez, suddenly one bounces

 

[trundler]

Picked too early, dominates at home, shown flashes of brilliance away and you'd expect him to get those big knocks as he gets more opportunities.

Hopefully 6 years from now he won't've devolved into Yousuf.

Wow I never expected sarfraz to play again. Wasn't expecting that. Rizwan been one of the top 5 batsman for me across 3 formats the last 2 years. Some of his dismissals against us were poor but still shocked to see him on the Judy. Sarfraz underrated I thought, seemed to play some backs to the wall innings before, surprised they can't get both in.

Rizwan is easily their second best bat after Babar in all formats right now. Should definitely play both him and Sarfraz.

Sri Lanka regularly plays 5 keepers or so in their top 6. Won't kill Pakistan to play just two.

Cannot believe dropping Rizwan has somehow worked out. Insane decision, though I suppose Sarfaraz had been waiting in line for a long time which is truly what matters I hear.
