England test tour of Pakistan December 2022

[Darwin Award]

Gilbert safe again

... Needs 39 off 31 to break that record + reach a century before lunch on the first day and be the first Englishman to do so.

 

[Adders]

Ollie Pope is totally infatuated with the reverse sweep.

Just doing it to piss davado off.......I support this.

 

[BazBall21]

These two are pretty nippy between the wickets

 

[BazBall21]

Did they have an angle from the other side? Would've been clearer.

I think that’s what he wanted but it didn’t come

 

[Bahnz]

No way that was enough to overturn imo.

 

[Darwin Award]

And another wicket.


... And in walks the 4th ranked test batsman Joe Root.... lol

10 centuries in a quick time did bugger all to keep him up the top.

 

[trundler]

Review central today.

 

[Howe_zat]

When England hit the world record ODI score 444 against Pakistan they were 137/1 after 22 overs, here they're 133/2.

New normal I guess.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Saw the review in process before I left for work, thought it looked like bat hitting ground and not glove on ball. Nightmare one for umpires to be honest.

 

[ataraxia]

Standing by for UltraEdge, standing by for UltraEdge, still standing by for UltraEdge...

 

[ataraxia]

Root should be dropped, horrid against spin

 

[trundler]

Decent start for the young fella.

 

[BazBall21]

Root is out of form

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Well. Good session for Pakistan in the end.

 

[Gnske]

Daily reminder that there's still no proof Crawley isn't anything but beetle crud as a batsman

 

[Howe_zat]

So it's not going to be a records tabs kind of day sadly

 

[trundler]

Why Zahid Mahmood.

A batsman in his place would've been so much better. Or even Hasan Ali.

Hasan Ali? Never heard of him. Sounds like a EA cricket fake name like Fawad Alam or something.

 

[Burgey]

Root returning to mean after a stellar couple of seasons was always going to happen.

 

[BazBall21]

Tame dismissal. Need a bit of Stokes of 2017-2020 here now.
