*OFFICIAL* England in Pakistan 2024

[King Kane]

Bashir catching like Babar.

 

[PaulLennon]

Makes sense after SL beat NZ who beat SA.

nz beat a crap sa though cause of sa20

have never won a series against a full strength sa team.

 

[Bahseph]

I'de swap SA and SL. SA's batting lineup is 2 guys and the rest is held together with duck tape and string.

Who are the two guys btw?

 

[OverratedSanity]

It's not really a coincidence, is it? They're really good in high-scoring matches.

Makes sense. It's these situations where their uber fast scoring more often helps get results conventional batting wouldn't.

ranking of test teams

1. ind
2. aus
3. eng
4. sa
5. nz
6. sl
7. bang
8. pak

WI above Pakistan is increasingly plausible

 

[King Kane]

Salman playing another good knock, he should be Pakistan's captain or at least their vice captain.

 

[Molehill]

Who are the two guys btw?

Also, what's Duck Tape?

Salman playing another good knock, he should be Pakistan's captain or at least their vice captain.

He should certainly be higher up the order.

 

[Himannv]

Who are the two guys btw?

The two who don't play while the C team go on tour.

 

[sledger]

Salman playing another good knock, he should be Pakistan's captain or at least their vice captain.

Yeah that'll turn things around.

 

[govinda indian fan]

Who are the two guys btw?

Maybe markram and temba?

 

[Bahseph]

The two who don't play while the C team go on tour.

Sigh*. Got you.

 

[Howe_zat]

Last hour's been a bit low intensity. The game's pretty much over, but something's shambling on.

 

[Nintendo]

Who are the two guys btw?

Bavuma and bedingham.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Ridiculously fun day after 3 boring ones. Pakistan have basically frozen despite the heat. Hopefully finish it by Lunch tomorrow.

 

[PaulLennon]

WI above Pakistan is increasingly plausible

in wi it was 1-1

lets see what it is in pak

 

[King Kane]

England's day but Salman and Jamal are holding the fort for Pakistan and taking it into a 5th day, if only their top order showed as much fight as them.

 

[Boy_Blunder]

What a day of cricket. 10 wickets fallen and 379 runs scored.

 

[Prince EWS]

Assuming no drastic turnaround, England will leave this match 3 from 3 under Baz in games where we've conceded 500 in the opposition's first innings

Might explain why Anderson was forcibly retired.

 

[LangleyburyCCPlayer]

17 Test innings in a row without a 50

I’m pretty sure I read that’s his first single figure score in that time?

 

[LangleyburyCCPlayer]

This is amazing. Brook is awesome. So is Root.

Obviously England are favorites but I think if Pak can dig deep and get the draw (pitch is still a road), it may set them up to even win this series.

After a patchy run of form this English summer, Brook is back to being officially the best batter since Bradman
