*OFFICIAL* England in Pakistan 2024

[CricAddict]

Since pak pitches are ultra flat they need express pace and little bit of extra zip to get wickets thats why pak produce so many pacers and leg spinners while india and sl have so many off spinners since pitch does something

I agree. Pitches do play a part.

 

[BazBall21]

He'll do alright against us then

I suspect he'll do well. Inexperienced attack.

 

[BazBall21]

Brook struggling with the heat now. Obviously cramp etc isn't ideal for anyone but don't think his batting style is as affected by reduced mobility as Root. England didn't get much time to acclimatise before the series.

Just guts it out for the last 90 mins of the day. It doesn't matter if the NRR slows. I'd rather a knackered Root/Brook are at the crease than a new bat, particularly with the new ball coming.

Agree but a good chance McCullum thinks otherwise.

 

[kevinw]

Well, two deliveries there suggests retiring them for the rest of the day!!!

 

[BazBall21]

Get to the new ball. Boundaries will be easier then.

They're all so cooked. Pretty much any county cricketer should be booking flights to NZ and just follow the team bus

Oh christ is this the actual scoreline.

Declare you idiots.

Declare while 200 behind???

 

[ataraxia]

Declare while 200 behind???

Of course! To not do so constitutes an insult to test cricket.

 

[BazBall21]

400-3. 2000s heritage.

 

[Johan]

pretty gutsy by Root and Brook ngl, both clearly struggling with the heat and the cramps and still going.

 

[BazBall21]

Can understand no new ball because of the boundary threat on a road but Pak have pretty much given up here. England can get 600+.

 

[chris.hinton]

Pakistan do have a poor bowling attack. Root and Brook have been largely untroubled

Such Coward display from Pakistan playing for draw at home is inexcusable

They must be worst bowling attack in the world

 

[Silver Silva]

I would try to give everyone a bowl, it's only been done four times in test cricket ..and one of those occasions actually happened in Pakistan , in Faisalabad way back in 1980 when Australia used 11 bowlers vs Pak

 

[BazBall21]

Played Harold. Not the most challenging bowling but they're digging it out in the heat.

 

[GIMH]

Go on Harry lad
