*Official* Pakistan tour of Ireland, England and Scotland 2018

[_Ed_]

Threatening start from Murtagh.

Looks like he's going to bat on! Brave.

Or stupid depending if he gets out early or not.

Inzi's nephew in running incident shocker.

 

[MW1304]

Not sure the 'brave' thing is sensible here - hopefully all the concussion tests do their job.

 

[fredfertang]

Remarkable recovery there - I wonder if there was a book open on how long the first over might take?

Good channel from Murtagh

Murtagh looking good. Reckon he could've been a very handy Test bowler in the right conditions if he got a chance.

I'd forgotten what a huge unit Rankin is - wouldn't want to run into him

See the comments about Coad currently, lack of pace is probably the reason why Murtagh hasn't been picked and why people think Coad shouldn't be.

So Rankin becomes another player playing test match for two countries. Kepler Wessels another one comes to my mind

Traicos after Wessels when he played for Zimbabwe. Think he must have been the last.

Pakistan showing more nervous energy than Ireland so far.

 

[Firebreaker]

All of the sponsors are Pakistanis

 

[fredfertang]

I do like Paul Stirling - good to know you still don't have to be an athlete to play Test cricket - Australia could take note

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

wow shot

 

[_Ed_]

Jeez, that's a nice way to score your first runs in tests.

Great moment this. I hope Australia give them a series over here soon. I'm on the Irish bandwagon.
