England beat Pakistan by 141 runs in the 3rd Test

[castortroy]

Some of the stuff I read about us chasing down the score was truely the funniest thing I read.

We are not playing in UAE

 

[Shafi]

Pakistan have fought very well this series and one bad session isn't going to change that reality.

Not really!! People always remember the series result which is 3-1

 

[Boi]

Why isn't it tea yet?

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Why the hell is Amir playing shots???

 

[Nikhil_cric]

All of a sudden, Finn is bowling like a legend. He has a bit of Pakistani in him. Blows cold all day and all of a sudden becomes an absolute dragon.

Fifth day pitch and his 6'7" height helps. Must be a nightmare to face.

It was either chase down or this.

Pakistan side cannot bat for one result (Draw). They need to be playing for two results.

It was the biggest mistake for Azhar and Sami to shut up shop after lunch.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

I know the session has been extended but how many overs left in it? 30 overs left in the game

 

[castortroy]

Woakes has killed us this series

I thought it was going to be Anderson but we have had no idea whatsoever against Woakes

 

[PerfectionPersonified]

Sick of rambo commentary

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Why are these tailender a playing shots????? Just block. Stupid people will now say we need to put the bowling under pressure

positive approach... let them play naturally... it is a flat pitch, shafiq and sarfi by blocking got out..

 

[JibranAnsari]

I am absolutely furious at myself for watching this match for 5 days.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

2 overs left before tea. Just survive lol

 

[ViciousMachine]

Why isn't it tea yet?

They extended the session, so its 4 extra overs/20 mins. So on the hour it will be tea. Maybe another over?

 

[Mamoon]

Can someone bump the sarcastic thread 'so did we get exposed in the UAE'....

 

[castortroy]

We can't score more than 2rpo against this England team on the flattest deck no way in hell we were going to score quicker against them on a 5th day pitch

 

[marlonbrowndo]

positive approach... let them play naturally... it is a flat pitch, shafiq and sarfi by blocking got out..

Lol. And playing shots will get them out even quicker mate. Positive approach won't mean anything here. Should just block!

 

[PerfectionPersonified]

Yasir playing beter than Yk and Hafeez

 

[PerfectionPersonified]

Can we draw
..yes we can

 

[Adijazz1706]

Lol. And playing shots will get them out even quicker mate. Positive approach won't mean anything here. Should just block!

Ab chidiya chug gayi khet.

 

[PerfectionPersonified]

30 overs is a cake

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Just have to block like Yasir is doing right now. What the hell is Amor thinking Tryna play square drives

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Kia yeah Tea aaj lengay ya phir nahe ??

 

[PerfectionPersonified]

B positive ...we can draw

 

[Muhammad10]

Lol. And playing shots will get them out even quicker mate. Positive approach won't mean anything here. Should just block!

Look at their defensive techniques. I think they can survive longer playing shots than they can defending.

 

[desi_launda]

Tea time.Can England get 3 tail enders in 29 overs?

 

[castortroy]

It's a flat pitch for the English batters against our bowling line up but the English bowlers don't give you a anything and bowl a disciplined line throughout

 

[PerfectionPersonified]

Yasir and amir to create history by drawing this game

 

[Adijazz1706]

I am absolutely furious at myself for watching this match for 5 days.

It's sessions like these that lead to lack of interest in Tests.

 

[castortroy]

Pretty scandalous to collapse on this pitch

 

[Third Man]

I am so jealous.

We couldn't take 6 wickets on last day against WI but England taking down Pakistan on a flat wicket.

As for this game, I expected this possibility.

This has got NOTHING to do with defensive mentality of Pakistan but due to complete and utter lack of discipline and choking.

And some reverse swing.

 

[PerfectionPersonified]

Poor batting by the seniors though

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Amir needs to play with a straight bat here and leave everything outside off

 

[castortroy]

Amir will snick of eventually

 

[Junaids]

It was either chase down or this.

Pakistan side cannot bat for one result (Draw). They need to be playing for two results.

It was the biggest mistake for Azhar and Sami to shut up shop after lunch.

I don't think they did. The ball was moving at one end and Moeen was getting drift, and they just tried to survive the storm.

The real problem is that you can't choose to bat fourth if your tail contains four number elevens.

 

[PerfectionPersonified]

Amir need to pull

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Should be tea after this over but I don't like what Amir is doing here. There is absolutely no point in Tryna score here

 

[RehanG]

anychance for rain?

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Amir will snick of eventually

For once I agree with you. Needs to block and leave like Yasir

 

[PerfectionPersonified]

Amir is in form

 

[Cricketrenew]

Only Sami Aslam, Misbah and Sarfraz tried to draw..... not sure of Azhar Ali, concerned how he opened the face to last ball of day to two days ago but I am being too harsh to him....that evening they was in such a great position many haven't given 100% after that evening......

 

[castortroy]

By playing some shots and finding the middle it helps get into the grove

 

[marlonbrowndo]

28 overs. Looks impossible but it's a flat pitch and the ball has stopped reversing a bit. Amir needs to stop playing his shots

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Not really!! People always remember the series result which is 3-1

Not result wise...but performance wise.

They have fought well for 2 out of 3 tests now.

 

[wasimjunior]

Amir and yasir look better than Shan masood and hafeez

 

[Adijazz1706]

I don't think they did. The ball was moving at one end and Moeen was getting drift, and they just tried to survive the storm.

The real problem is that you can't choose to bat fourth if your tail contains four number elevens.

Moeen was given a chance to get his rhythm going due to Pak's no-attack policy.

 

[uberkoen]

I wonder what Amir's trying to do? LOL

 

[big_gamer007]

Amir and Yasir needs to show some mettle.. Come on Lads!!

 

[The intelligent Supporter]

Tea time.Can England get 3 tail enders in 29 overs?

If they bowl like ATGs Ishant , Shami and Ashwin, probably not

 

[Hasan123]

Depressing last hour or so

 

[ViciousMachine]

Who cares if Amir defends or swings. At this stage, he should play however he feels most comfortable. Asking our bottom 4 to bat 30+ overs is asking a miracle.

 

[Mamoon]

Imagine the luxury of having Woakes and Stokes in the same team.

 

[Rayyman]

The reason we lost these last two matches is because our number 4(most important batting position) is a man who's is too old for professional cricket and his reflexes are too slow now. His lack of even one good performance in the series has led to Pakistan's demise.

 

[Shafi]

In pressure situation you can count on Yasir and Amir more than Shafiq and Hafeez

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Ramiz has played wonderfully in this session !!!!

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

Anderson and Broad will rip them apart, if the management tell them to defend they will most definately lose, but if they play shots they have better chance not to lose..

 

[Belawal2014]

Pakistan have fought very well this series and one bad session isn't going to change that reality.

Thanks SIF, for making us feel a little better. :'(

 

[Justcrazy]

Can we drw this?

Not likely

 

[Belawal2014]

Ramiz has played wonderfully in this session !!!!

Oh please, he's hurting just as much as we are, and how pathetic are we if we blame Ramiz for the loss. I know you're joking man, but still ...

Problem is our players do not have self pride. Unless somebody kick them out they will never retire. Look at Afridi now Younis

 

[Belawal2014]

Lost 3 wickets for just 1 run...

 

[The intelligent Supporter]

save place with a 50

True.

Younis needs to be booted.

 

[Abdul]

Lost 3 wickets for just 1 run...

We lost four wickets for one run.

 

[ViciousMachine]

Yup, and if they do retire, they unretire. Or cry to media. Or some for some unknown reason, Hafeez continues to field in the slips, even though he drops multiple catches there every single series....

 

[Belawal2014]

We lost four wickets for one run.

6 wickets in a session...

 

[ViciousMachine]

We lost four wickets for one run.

And those were 4 middle order batsman, none were even our tail.... that is the most pathetic part.

 

[Adil_94]

Ramiz has played wonderfully in this session !!!!

should become Sir Ramiz along with Beefy.

People having a proper meltdown on Twitter ) - Everyone bashing each other like there is no tomorrow !!!! You know you have made a proper SAesque choke when Parosis are trying to console you on social media

Hafeez, Asad, YK ko danday parnay Chaheyain

 

[uberkoen]

From 79/2 to 125/7. 5 wickets for 46 runs.

 

[Belawal2014]

Drop Hafeez. Move Azhar ali to open. Slot in Asad at 3. and Rizwan at 6. If Misbah's got any guts, he'd drop YK and draft in Iftikhar. He can't do any worse than YK when it comes to batting and can actually give our front-line bowlers a breather.

 

[Abdul]

And those were 4 middle order batsman, none were even our tail.... that is the most pathetic part.

Reminds me of the match against West Indies in World Cup 2015

 

[Belawal2014]

Shabbir's dad needs to make a new video If you know, you know. )

 

[Syed1]

Good thing I turned off the telly.. But the Pakistani in me still wanted to know know how we were doing. So we lost three more wickets after Misbah's departure.

Mashallah jawanon

 

[Rayyman]

Yousuf was dropped from the team after 2010 England series and never played again. He didn't retire at the time and he was 3-4 years younger than Younis.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

28 overs =168 balls to survive

 

[shaz619]

I never felt compatible bowling first on this pitch but Misbah tactics almost worked had they batted well on day 3. Oh well, pak fought well in this test and were competitive but this was a golden opportunity which they have spectacularly botched. As mentioned before, Misbah and this Pakistan team are good but will always be known as the nearly men.

 

[#GreenRoars]

[MENTION=136079]ahmedwaqas92[/MENTION] any chance of rain?

 

[Lords]

last i saw was 102/2 and went to fetch groceries, now its 7 down and barely 30 runs are added.
Epic collapse at wrong time, justified Cooks defensive approach

 

[shaz619]

Shabbir's dad needs to make a new video If you know, you know. )

) you listen to his videos to? didn't know you could speak potwari bro, that guy is a legend lmao have you seen the baseball bat one? directed at pak LOL

 

[Belawal2014]

At least we'll have a chance to DRAW the series at the Oval.
