*OFFICIAL* England in Pakistan 2024

[Starfighter]

Did a single ball of that over carry?

 

[BazBall21]

Agreed, might have caught the one before lunch had he been stood closer.

Says a lot about the pitch that there are already no slips in.

Ward keeps praising him for catching half volleys. Is he going to register at some stage that it might be an idea for Smith to move forward?

 

[danzydab]

Potts and Carse have been underbowled

 

[Kenneth Viljoen]

Gower must be dying inside having to do these cringe advertising promos in the comm box ..

 

[Johan]

pretty flat but hints of aid for spin

Batting last could be tough but think England should still win comfortably

Pakistan team is very nice, they won't make us bat twice in the heat

 

[PaulLennon]

Must be someone with an entirely special world view who thought that the Kookaburra makes sense as a cricket ball.

I'll bet that if you look at the stats of Pakistan pre the adoption of kookaburra to post the adoption , there will be a major difference in results too.

And these are the simple things that should have been fixed.

what did they use pre kookabura?

 

[BazBall21]

7 toss defeats on the spin for England

Mr Gets-the-breakthrough is finally putting himself on.

I prefer Mr "Fine, I'll do it myself"

 

[Silver Silva]

This Kamran guy takes his glove off after every delivery it seems , annoying reminds of Trott who took an age to get ready in between deliveries

 

[BazBall21]

Yeah I think they've got carried away with spin after the good start.

Gutting for Stokes just then.

 

[Silver Silva]

Wow ! Kamran squared up with an outswinger ..

 

[Pothas]

Something very unsecure about this batting still.

 

[BazBall21]

Yeah they've been ropey but England struggling to capitalise

 

[sayon basak]

Bashir is playing for a better team should expect more from him

Actually when you think about it, averaging 178 is infinitely better that Abrar Ahmed.

 

[sithb]

what did they use pre kookabura?

Dukes.

 

[Starfighter]

Can anyone think of another bowler who could bowl the reverse outswinger like Stokes?

Anderson maybe.
