*OFFICIAL* England in Pakistan 2024

[mackembhoy]

Seems somewhat ironic to me at having an all-Durham pace attack in conditions about as un-Durham as you can get.

You'd think that but CLS defs flatter than it used to be.

Teams have made the mistake of fielding first for us to then go and post 400 in a day.

 

[Starfighter]

Anderson maybe.

Actual footage would help.

 

[sayon basak]

This two batters have been very lucky since the lunch.

England getting frustrated here. Luck has been with Pakistan so far today. Lots of streaky shots falling to safety.

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

Imran

Imran

Maybe I could rephrase 'could anyone do it without using their fingernails'.

England can't claim to be unlucky on that account, ever.

Waqar

So what's with Kamran being unable to block medium-fast deliveries without physical discomfort? I mean, comparing Shan and Shafique to Root and Brook it's obvious the Pakistani players are less fit, but this is strange.

Waqar

Nah IMO

If Stokes can then those great Pakistani bowlers could

Good partnership this. Need a wicket

Actually..... I couldn't find any footage available on YouTube that is good enough to judge the delivery by its seam position.
Same for wasim, Waqar or Imran.
Here are all the dismissals of SRT by Jimmy (assuming SRT was right, the delivery he mentioned has to be somewhere here):-

Here is Wasim bowling with the old ball, taking some of them away from the batter:-

 

[Starfighter]

Give Brook a trundle

 

[The Brian Hardie Stance]

I only turned on a few minutes ago but I've already seen three deliveries literally roll along the ground.

 

[NotMcKenzie]

Give everyone a bowl. I want to see eleven bowlers on the first day.

 

[sayon basak]

Saim gone.

Didn't deserve to stay long enough in the crease as he did.

 

[Starfighter]

Well, that trap worked nicely.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Good trap there. The old Hayden ashes 05 dismissal.

 

[Starfighter]

Didn't deserve to stay long enough in the crease as he did.

Silly comment

 

[BazBall21]

Not entirely sure how only one wicket fell in that session.
