What's new

England beat Pakistan by 141 runs in the 3rd Test

Have a feeling Hafeez may score some runs and secure his spot for the last match
 
have a feeling we will be 7 or 8 down with 10 overs to go . . anticipating a thrilling finish
 
Since the Gary Ballance wicket England have bossed this.

So how long will England bat before declaring ? A quick slog for 5 overs to get the lead to 350 ?
 
I'll make a bold prediction, I think we'll get a draw out of this game.
 
Have to bowl full and very wide with a packed off side field on the boundary. Bowl as defensive as possible.

We should still try to restrict them to as little as possible. I don't think cook will want to be batting longer than 5 overs especially with a possibility of it going to the last few overs. They might want to take a new ball then
 
Why did you give it to Yasir Misbah??? He's trash when batsmen are attacking. Give it to the pacers. Yasir is garbage in LOIs. What a trash bowler when the batsmen are going after him. Misbah really gave it to England here. So stupid from him
 
A spinner? Is Misbah trying to help England score fast and declare faster?
 
Yasir really does lose the plot when batsmen go after him. Not as mentally tough as I thought.
 
England v Pakistan | 3rd Test | Birmingham | Aug 3-7, 2016 | Day 5

lol anti climax
 
See you had to bowl a pacer! Why the hell would you give one to Yasir. So easy to defend with a pacer
 
Pakistan have made so many tactical blunders in the last three days , its not even funny. Someone should ask difficult questions to Arthur and misbah.
 
Yasir should play a 100 tests for us but doesn't look like he should play even 50 odis for us.
 
Misbah as it seems knows that we have lost the test match. Otherwise there was no reason to give Yasir an over.
 
If we get Moeen here right now, would make matters really interesting !!!

He is an overrated test bowler as well ,will end up with an average of 35. He is 30 plus so don't see him improving much.
 
Lol this team is going to save the match? I would be surprised if they score anything more than 150

He's not a 35 averaging test bowler. Give him spinner friendly wickets and he'll do well. He has all the tools to be a 'great' spinner but the tempsremrnt is lacking. He just fires it in straight and flat when the going gets tough. Needs to slow it up and beat the batsman with flight,dip,turn and bounce instead . Only some finger spinners can get away with darting in test cricket.
 
I've seen some horrible domestic batsmen destroy Yasir who can't bowl when the batsmen aren't blocking
 
There you go - tail contributing already - Rahat with a crisp 4! Beauty

its not about winning its about CRUSHING the opposition, they want to follow the innings defeat with another crippling blow!
 
What's going on?

Bowl, don't bat on. We might need 5 overs with a second new ball.
 
Warnie has such a great cricket brain. It's a huge loss to cricket that he never skippered Australia.

It's not that. Cooks captaincy is mind bogglingly frustrating. What the hell is he waiting for? 300 has early been chased ever in England let alone at this ground. Vry defensive captain.
 
THEY HAVE DECLARED!!!!! [MENTION=138379]#GreenRoars[/MENTION] [MENTION=132916]Junaids[/MENTION] I fancy this for Pakistan! am going to head over to Edgbaston [MENTION=47617]Red Devil[/MENTION] [MENTION=136193]Adil_94[/MENTION]
 
Wow should've let Mo get his 100. He really does get the rough deal at times.
 
Declared !! 342 to win and 84 overs to draw....

For England the usual 10 wickets :D

England declared, 342 is the target. Pak should try for it.

agreed bro, go down fighting! Going to lose anyway so why not with guns blazing and face the enemy like Butch and Sundance!!!! Give them a bloody scare at least such that they wish they'd worn their ODI blue trousers!!!!
 
Aggressive declaration from Cook and brilliant batting from Mo to, should be an interesting game this!
