*Official* Pakistan in England 2020

I know opening standards have been low but Masood has dealt with the round the wicket better than any other left handed opener.

This has been a very good knock. Busting his arse out there.

Am trying to work out why Woakes annoys me so much, and aside from the obvious (being English) I think it's just he's so nondescript as a cricketer. Like I can imagine him playing 50 odd tests and less than 10% of genuine cricket fans understandably remembering a single thing he's ever done.

Likely jealous of his luscious locks, good looks and general pleasant disposition.

Adam: "It's not a conspiracy theory - Shan Masood has been working with the same batting coach as Sibley. Bloke called Gary Palmer." And you are also George Dobell in disguise...

Makes sense...

Their spinners are going to absolutely roll us on this. Ball turning massively for Bess.

Some truth in that. The first performance that came to mind was his 137* against the Indians on their last tour rather than any of his bowling.

Kind of bowler who one perceives as nipping players out rather than running through teams.

This will all fall apart soon enough imo

I'm claiming this

The rain killed the flow of runs

Absolutely. It bought the attack time to regroup and get their **** together too. Not a single full toss that I've seen today compared to 5-6 yesterday.

Babar cud have raced to 150 yesterday...

This is the Woakes of posts. Utterly And typically nondescript

I think it's because his most memorable spells are just less impressive looking versions of Anderson's and Broad's.

Love that Woakes being exceptionally forgettable is catching on.

 

[trundler]

2nd new ball will crush em

could use your fifteen minutes on something more memorable

 

[smash84]

Root should bowl more often

 

[trundler]

Shan has been slow obviously but the strokeplay has thankfully been a delight to watch unlike Sibley

 

[StephenZA]

I don't understand how you pick 5 bowlers in the team also have Stokes, and Root still ends up bowling 5 overs.

This new web format is almost as bad as Bess’ bowling

Wtf is this thing?
