England test tour of Pakistan December 2022

[BazBall21]

Sounds like it was some catch.

It was.

 

[BazBall21]

Zahid time.

 

[Shady Slim]

A bit sad that Root isn't cashing in here while Marnus is moving clear of him in the rankings by bullying the WIndies second string attack.

tbf root's also played like forty more tests this year than we have

 

[Sunil1z]

Now batting average of both Kohli and Root are below 50.

 

[GIMH]

That is a shocker of a drop

 

[Howe_zat]

I can only guess that Abrar taking too many wickets was making the rest of the side look bad

 

[trundler]

They'll roll over in the 4th innings for the bingo now.

 

[wpdavid]

Sounds like bad luck for Duckett. But Pakistan won't like the sight of that delivery either.

 

[GIMH]

What lead do we think England need here?

 

[wpdavid]

What lead do we think England need here?

You're asking me? About 700. Others would suggest that 350 is out of reach.

 

[Howe_zat]

Most wickets on debut for Pakistan



I remember Aizaz Cheema just for being the answer to 'most tests without scoring a run' for ages.

Either way, it's down to these two and Stokes. I don't think we can expect many from the bowlers at this stage of the game.

I found his interview about Abrar a bit ****y yesterday. Saying he's just slow and all the England team were picking him.

Yet he should have been taken by Babar after he threw his shot too early and then it kept low on his wicket but he threw the shot too early again.

Good chance that one of Wood/Broad/Robinson will fluke a 30 imo.

Edit: Broad's not playing what was I on about

While we're at it, only two English bowlers have taken 10 or more wickets on debut since WW2.
Any takers?

 

[Howe_zat]

Christ. Pakistan back in it.

 

[wpdavid]

I hate to be the one that breaks it to you about Broad .....

Anyway, we may find out sooner than we had hoped. ffs I just realised it's another idiotic run-out.

 

[BazBall21]

England trying to fashion a game out of this.

 

[Jay London]

What lead to England need to be odds on? 270?

Would be disappointing not to get a 300 lead, but can't help thinking that 350 was well on, and runs out not really acceptable.
