*Official* Pakistan in England 2020

[Starfighter]

Yasir has spent this series bowling with more topspin and much greater variation than against Australia, where he desperately needed both those things. What gives?

 

[91Jmay]

Really poor from Pope to get done twice on the back foot. Great bit of bowling but everyone who plays Shah well plays him off the front foot.

 

[nightprowler10]

That is huuuuuuge.

 

[Starfighter]

This type of dismissal doesn't bode well for Pope's chances in the subcontinent.

 

[trundler]

A throwback to Mark Stoneman, that

Pope gone. The Battling looks really weak

The Battling looks really weak

What's my man Battling Watling got to do with this

 

[MW1304]

Without Stokes we look so feeble. Not convinced the pitch is worth anything less than 250, and our set batsman isn't known for going on.

Also a deathly long tail.

 

[trundler]

Jos Buttler has cracked test match batting hasn't he

 

[Arachnodouche]

It's come to be where you almost despair at the thought of England being 5 down for not much because you just know that the tail is going to double the tally and ruin your good vibes.

No

 

[trundler]

Abbas off colour today

 

[MW1304]

Dobell's a moron and it's my own fault for listening to Switch Hit, but he asked with a straight face if Yasir was a better bowler than Ian Salisbury.

Good Lord.

Good Lord.

Yasir is better bowling with his left arm than Salisbury was. Salisbury was one of the worst spinners to play for England.

 

[trundler]

Gonna be a remarkable turnaround from Abbas soon

 

[trundler]

Waugh woulda claimed that

 

[91Jmay]

Waugh woulda claimed that

Better fielder catches that for sure. Reacted slowly

 

[Prince EWS]

Waugh woulda caught that

Fixed.

 

[honestbharani]

So how about that Naseem and Crawley kids, huh?


My prediction of Crawley > Pope ain't looking shabby at least for today.

Good Lord.

I feel like there must be context to this, surely
