England test tour of Pakistan December 2022

[honestbharani]

I thought Cameroon White at 8 as a bowler was the height of Hail Mary stuff.

Sure someone has mentioned it already but when did England's openers last both score hundreds?

Probably the Strauss Cook years

While also batting 3. Then you have two part-time spinners at 7 and 8. Sensational really.

Not sure Pope will need to bat

 

[Prince EWS]

Not sure Pope will need to bat

Or keep.

Crawley and Duckett to bat for five days to spite Ramiz and his Babar ton at home.

We are changing cricket. This Pakistan bowlers are scared and we are still to improve

NEW WORLD ORDER


Aussies will be pretending to have injuries when the Ashes comes around. Starc will be hit all over the park haha

This was always how England could win. Win the toss, get the monster score they’re capable of on a road and hope Pakistan crumble against scoreboard pressure. There’s some hope for Trundler and co as they defied the pressure in the second Test against Australia, but this must be pretty demoralising to watch.

But genuinely this is the best shot at a test 1000 since I've been watching lol (not long). Be so funny.

Also debutant leggie doing badly shocker

 

[grecian]

I for one have always been a fan of Crawley and Duckett, *hope there's no way that people can see this being a complete lie*

Oh and Hinton, I don't mind your silliness, but I'd keep from using New World Order, particularly with the make-up of our team....

TFW your own board president thinks you need the flattest road in history to score a 100.

 

[BazBall21]

They have to keep bowling this mug because you can’t just flog your pace bowlers all day. Nightmare.

 

[Zinzan]

Crawley averaging 200 vs Pakistan yet averages under 30 overall.

Yeah, 214 now but Jeez Louise that record against NZ & SL.

Brilliant 100 though, was pleased to see the LBW review missing.

 

[ImpatientLime]

remember when everyone used to pretend they missed pakistan hosting cricket? foolish times.

Shades of Tahir vs Clarke at Adelaide ?

 

[chris.hinton]

Its just too easy....I want more and more and more

A grand on the board just after tea tomorrow lol Crawley on about 600 and Duckett 400.

It was Cook and Compton in NZ in 2013

Compton was so underrated in hindsight given the slew of meh that came after. Had some great partnerships.

Turns out England's virus was the one that doubles their EV gain

At least these guys have an excuse with the illness leaving them little options

I'm assuming that's what has happened here and it isn't their normal selection anyway

 

[ataraxia]

@trundler delay this test a day you reckon? Or abandon?
