*OFFICIAL* England in Pakistan 2024

[Molehill]

Really quite astonishing that they still haven't cottoned to the fact that it's the straight ones that get you

Yep, if you get beaten by one which turns hard then fair enough, but not one that does **** all.

Ollie pope is the man you want out there in this high pressure situation

 

[Burgey]

Pope is gonna get pinned here

 

[Molehill]

Pope is gonna get pinned here

It's either that or score 150, there isn't much in between and one happens a lot more often than the other!!

For all the Bazball revolutionising Test batting talk, "missing straight balls and getting pinned LBW" is about as typical a thing to see from touring batsmen on slow turners as it gets

There going to talk about how difficult the conditions were after they lose as well.

Just like they did in the last game when most wickets were bad batting, as they have been in this test.

Imagine the inability to bowl out the tail/fielding/captaincy will be blamed by the media

211-2 to all out for 291 in the last test and 56-0 to 118-6 and then 223-6 to 267 all out is unacceptable.

lollapse

 

[Spark]

Jaffa. Such hard hands though

 

[GIMH]

deep sigh

 

[BazBall21]

At what point do we say the post Silverwood regime haven't actually done very well? It's been a **** two years no matter how you twist it.

 

[Groundking]

Absolutely cooked here.

 

[King Kane]

Ollie Poop

 

[Molehill]

Jaffa. Such hard hands though

Playing for the ones that keep low and then can't adjust to one that bounces a little.

Turns out there was still plenty in this pitch, which suggests the English spinners didn't do their job.

 

[BigBeefy]

Pope looking fidgety and hard hands yet again.

Absolutely embarrassing from England, zero idea of how to play this.

 

[ImpatientLime]

quick someone post his average at #3 since Baz was in charge

 

[PlayerComparisons]

Just a reminder that Joe Root’s England won 3-0 and 2-0 on spinning pitches in Sri Lanka

 

[mackembhoy]

Jaffa. Such hard hands though

Really isn't he makes balls look unplayable time after time.

 

[trundler]

So uh what about the toss then

 

[OverratedSanity]

He's poop

Yeah he pushes so hard at the ball, he'll tend to make deliveries look like that.
