*OFFICIAL* England in Pakistan 2024

Criticise Shan Masood all you like but what’s he supposed to do when his team can’t execute a simple runout. I’m not surprised he is angry with Sajid.
Surely the criticism has got to be why he has ever been captain in the first place when there has been little merit of him being in the side over quite a number of games. He will be delighted more than anything that Anderson isn't there to school him once again. Hard to know the merit of his captaincy when he has such little to work with.

Duckett didn't look like he could bat against spin in 2016. Now he's ridiculously good against it.
Approach matters so much , Duckett said in a interview when he was in India for the first time the advice he was given by Cook at the other hand was to hang in there which wasn't his gameplan at all, it was almost like an unwritten rule that Test cricket had to be played at a certain run rate but now with freedom he is a much better player ..

In the 4 tests Duckett played in 2016 his SR was 57 , since comeback in 2022 his SR is 89 ..

He’s a very frustrating batsman. I thought when he made that ton in England he’d be a mainstay as opener and average 40-45.

Okay but Masood scored 151 in his last game, he was never going to be dropped after that knock..

Fact is a professional cricketer is supposed to be disappointed at failing such a basic fielding skill , school kids would have gotten that runout .

England off to a good start, 69 without loss, the lack of pace bowlers already coming back to bite Pakistan.

Someone could score another triple here if this pitch does not break up ..

Jamal is half injured and the spinners will ensure a good overrate , you fear the worst for Pakistan

Oh I know he got a big ton last game, but he doesn't even average 30 in test cricket despite playing on many a freeway. This is his 37th test.
