*Official* Pakistan in England 2020

[Pothas]

So pleased for him, must have felt like an horrendously long morning.

 

[vcs]

His body language and expression didn't look too confident when he reviewed it, I feared it was just a hopeful review.

 

[Neptune]

Haha nice one Buttler. I was gutted when he was given out on 99, pleased for him.

 

[vcs]

Geez, imagine if we didn't have DRS and the obnoxious over appeal was the only thing to go on.

I've been critical of their appealing in general but you can hardly blame them for thinking that one was out

 

[StephenZA]

His body language and expression didn't look too confident when he reviewed it, I feared it was just a hopeful review.

He possibly was not certain either? Possible to hit both simultaneously.

Well I know I’m a mere mortal but I struggle to tell the difference when I’ve nicked it vs hitting my pad.

All these ex players saying **** like ‘you know when you hit it’ are talking bollocks imo.

 

[91Jmay]

Good ton, owed the team it and i am still not convinced but he has played a massive hand in this series with the bat.

That's mostly just Ian Chappell isn't it?

While I think this Pakistan bowling is not bad, I do feel like it is lacking something. I felt similar when they toured SA on 18/19. They need an enforcer of some sort. Wagner or Nortje or something.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Well done Buttler, has deserved a ton the way he has batted this last month. Hopefully he kicks on and makes them more often now.

 

[Starfighter]

You know, I reckon bowlers look slower when the keeper is up.

Abbas has been excellent with zero reward for it.

No way Nortje gets into this Pakistan team.

They're going at a pretty good rate but I guess there will be some acceleration once they cross 400.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Abbas has been excellent with zero reward for it.

Similar to Roach in the Windies series though Roach got his rewards eventually.

 

[StephenZA]

Abbas has been excellent with zero reward for it.

I think Abbas bowls a foot shorter than he should, line is great. If you compare him to Philander, who pitched the ball up 60 % of the time and occasional bowled back of a length.

 

[Pothas]

Will happen naturally when Abbas comes off.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Well Buttler will have licence to go nuts after lunch you would think. providing he is still there of course.

 

[StephenZA]

No way Nortje gets into this Pakistan team.

I am not talking quality, talking type of. I could use Olivier as alternate example if you want.

They pretty much all do it, so long as they've never had their omniscience tested by DRS, strangely enough.
