*OFFICIAL* England in Pakistan 2024

[BazBall21]

Brook will have bigger challenges than this but I think there's a very good player in there.

Brook and Root with the highest ever test partnership vs Pakistan, at least we are seeing some records getting broken even if there aren't many wickets.

For England the highest against Pakistan is 446 by Sobers and Hunte in 1958.

2011-12 Border Gavaskar series

naah that was an away series.

pak teams have been getting whitewashed in aus since time immemorial.

this pak team lost at home to aus (only one series won in asia in the last decade including bangladesh), eng and bangladesh - last two were whitewashes.

 

[GIMH]

Might call in sick to watch Joe Root

Future ATG and he’ll do it at a 60+ strike rate

 

[Howe_zat]

Highest scores for 3 down in Test history (this has now made the top 10)

 

[GIMH]

Averaging over 130 in Pakistan helps

Don’t forget averaging 82 in NZ

 

[Spark]

Massive jinx obvs but could we be seeing the double triple today? Can't be too much precedent for that if so

Yeah I meant for England, not all time for every international team.

I'm sure Boycott would be calling this a record breaking partnership for Yorkshire rather than England though.

Sounds like a plan. Glad I have to leave the house for work at half 9 instead of now.

Never been done. The highest second-high score in a team innings is Sangakkara's 287 against South Africa, in the same innings that Jayawardene hit 374.

Note: Please keep posting record batting queries in this thread, I'm an absolute pig in muck here.

As dull as this batathon has been on a flat pitch it's great to have Gower commentating this series, I still don't know why Sky got rid of him for UK tests.

Yeah it's a puzzle. Ward isn't fit to lace his boots as the main presenter.

Just a let's replace the old guys with a set of guys that many people didn't see play either. If they wanted to appeal to a younger audience it makes zero sense.

I really don't get what quota they were going for.

Well done Harry, roadiest of roads or not. The application has been exemplary. He really needed an innings like this after a lot of home games where's he's overcomplicated his game.

 

[GIMH]

Well in Harry

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Magnificent innings Harry.

Dare I say it, a better innings than Root.

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

Beautiful stuff.

 

[King Kane]

A double ton for Brook now too, Yorkshire are grinding Pakistan into the dust at Multan.

 

[PaulLennon]

Na 2019 pak tam that toured aus even punter called it worst team he has seen in aus

that is this same team tbh. lots of similar personnel.

 

[Gnske]

Big headed of him to even celebrate this

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

More beautiful stuff.
