I think the first one was well bowled as it tucked him up and he fended at it. The second probably wasn't executed how he wanted to, but it was a pretty rank shot two minutes from lunch

Think the fact that wood is the one who got the leg side strangles plays a bit of a part here tbh. Bloke bowling 150+ consistently is gonna have any batter in two minds, especially in a deck with a bit of inconsistent bounce.
probably, and to an english fan it probably doesn't matter lol but as a neutral i'd rather see such an epic stand broken by cartwheeling stumps or something heh

That Nawaz-Shakeel partnership punched above Pakistan's mental stature but the tail was always going to collapse in a heap. Needed those two to close it out but they didn't.

Why are we losing important wickets to leg side tickles. First Babar and Imam last game now Nawaz and Saud.

Its qudrat ka nizam as our full time religous scholar part time cricket coach Saqi Mushtaq will say.

Would love Joel Wilson to try this vs India he and his family would never have a job in cricket ever again :laugh:

Pakistan get a 30-run partnership here, then Salman gets out and Abrar goes on a slogging rampage. Then, 9 down and with 2 to win, he hands over the strike to Zahid Mahmood for the final ball of a Leach over. Zahid is promptly out LBW, going for a slog sweep. He either forgets to review, or does review as he hit it but Joel Wilson incompetency saves him. In the end, the win is lauded as a wonderful Bazball success and everyone is happy. Except the good people of Pakistan – but they are used to chokes.

Ohh i 100% agree, seeing the rizwan-shafique partnership being broken by jimmy moving one a mile or the babar-shakheel partnership in the 1st innings being broken by Robinson reversing it as much as he did was more entertaining than the wood strangle. Just rate the wood strangle more than a normal leg side strangle given his pace.

We need the leg side strangles as much as the jaffas, to have perfect balance in this world.

Just actually seen the video of the decision. As is common, not a strong correspondence between what Wilson sees and reality.

The short stuff might actually be less effective to the tail in a sense because the deck's so slow they can have a swing at it. Actual batsmen sometimes kind of try to finesse it too much on a slow deck and get out.
