What's new

England beat Pakistan by 141 runs in the 3rd Test

This is extremely pathetic, they were playing naturally before lunch and now it seems someone has planted a defensive strategy in their head during the break.
 
Sami would have whipped most of these to the leg side and now he is just blocking them.
 
I don't know why people are complaining that we are gone slow. They are bowling much better hence they are playing defencively.
 
Who? Woakes apart they haven't really threatened this Test and none of them is as dangerous on a 5th day pitch as Herath.

They are better as a unit and have a better captain than Mathews. Mathews gave us the match on a platter , credit to us though. We can't play shot stuff at all.
 
Lets get back on earth and try to draw :P

Younus needs to bat well today. He will get plenty of spin to face

That was a typical nothing to lose match, I dont think we would have gone for such a chase with Series 1-1
 
Azhar was entirely too defensive after lunch. I could sense him getting out
 
if Younis can't survive Moeen then we really know he's past it.

Younis needs to show that he is a fourth innings specialist because this match is in a pressure situation, these two MUST be there till tea
 
I know it's really tough under the circumstances but I am hoping against the hope that he's able to pull it off. It would be absolutely vital for our cause.

Let's just hope he does something here otherwise, we are done.

Absolutely agree. There is nothing to gain by trying to play a forced shot. It's never easy on the 5th day in these conditions.
 
Pakistan need to be positive here and not let England bowlers settle here and apply pressure
 
Going by their temperament, one would think Hafeez is 20 and Sami 35 years old, rather than the other way round.
 
Pakistan has to bat 52 more overs Only trying to occupy the crease will just create inroads through the batting line up.
 
Moeen is bowling better than Yasir rn. Tells you what a rubbish bowler Yasir is when he gets attacked
