*OFFICIAL* England in Pakistan 2024

[PlayerComparisons]

England have their own Gilchrist/Pant now

Time for us to take Oli Pope out of the firing line? Think he’s such a talented player but he looks jelly legged as a number 3.

Hick/Ramps of this generation. Gets one score and people waffle on about how great. If not a surrey cricketer would not be picked

 

[Groundking]

After he rode his luck once why wouldn't you just scratch around until tea? Smh.

 

[Burgey]

Bit of a dire shot but that’s a terrific knock by the young bloke there. Dug them out of an awful hole.

First time he really went for an across the line mow, which shows the deck is not unplayable if you play down the line

 

[kitabras]

Why is Atkinson in ahead of Rehan?

Rehan bats at 6 for his county

Leicestershire - hardly counts

Damn! You beat me to it by a matter of seconds.

 

[Burgey]

His FC average is 36.60. With the ball. And he's 36.....

Let that sink in.

Wha happened to Yasir shah? Has he retired?

 

[BazBall21]

Smith is one of the calmer batsmen in this team and he's just thrown away a hundred with an able lower order bat at the other end when we're about 100 short.

Had some very **** last few years and was dropped

Gilly different tier

Who knows what a decent score is but I bet Pakistan don't get out playing across the line as much as we have.

We're short.

Yep, this looks a 350 pitch for a first innings. Although, it's definitely done less since Lunch.

Older ball helps but I honestly think Smith mainly just batted better than the others.

 

[Johan]

We are underestimating Pakistani ability to fumble.

Pakistan will mess up the chase for sure

 

[GIMH]

Was definitely easier to bat in the second session but let's not retcon what the deck was doing this morning

 

[flibbertyjibber]

We're short.

As in Ben Duckett short?

 

[BazBall21]

As in Ben Duckett short?

Yep. Needed 350.

I realise I'm caning about 37% of CW posts and cricket discussion here but I actually hate 'this is a [x] deck'

It's not golf ffs. There's so many variables.
