England test tour of Pakistan December 2022

Ashes81

State Vice-Captain
Obviously this test is going to be a draw.

So we should bat for 4 days, declare on 1,668-6, once Root reaches his 700.

Then let Pakistan pile up up 435-1 on day 5 but only bowl our 4 spinners, saving our seamers for the more 'bowler friendly' pitches to come.

Also bring Chris Jordan into the squad so he can sub field for Jimmy.

This would actually be the common sense tactic tbh. Why declare ever if you're not going to get a result.

Although keep Pakistan out there for 2.5 to 3 days and the batsmen might be tired enough to collapse twice

How can you get out to a bowler this bad? Does mean he'll keep getting picked over Abrar, who is far more deserving.
