Yeah if we don't clean up ASAP we'll lose this by an innings
Couldn't disagree actually. Our track record at The Oval is dire unless we're playing an Indian tam in free-fall, and from memory we're not much better at Lord's.We need to either stop playing in London or dig the ****ing pitches up
Have seen England collapse in exactly this situation a number of times in recent years though. When England lose, they can get absolutely hammered sometimes.I can't tell which is worse, smali's post or the bolded. Even if England have little chance of a victory, England have the firepower to draw this match easily, or at least give Pakistan a good total to bat for. It would take a collapse of epic proportions on a day 4 pitch for them to lose by an innings.
It's because theyou produce flat wickets that often helps the opposition it much more than it does us.Couldn't disagree actually. Our track record at The Oval is dire unless we're playing an Indian tam in free-fall, and from memory we're not much better at Lord's.
Mind you, it doesn't help that our senior quicks just seem to shrug their shoulders and sulk in this neck of the woods.
Yeah umpire's call on impact on pad and stumps.review?
Need to bat more than 5 sessions here to save this test. Unlikely.Pakistan have this in the bag I think. England need something monumental from here.
