What's new

England beat Pakistan by 330 runs in the 2nd Test

Cook is probably waiting for these two to get set before bringing on Woakes who'll bag them both in a couple of overs, mentally scarring them further.

Evil mind.

What a shot by Hafeez. Brilliant timing.

Spot on.

It's not like Anderson and Broad are doing something revolutionary either. It's common sense! I remember Waqar and Wasim doing that countless times to great effect. Wasim, especially was brilliant at that.

The lack of no right arm fast has cost us this match, this is 300 to 350 pitch max but due to the fact all 3 of our quicks are left handers bowling at the same speed and same angles England have made it look like a net session scoring 800 odd runs.

The management got the fast bowling unit horribly wrong, especially as its nearly cost us in the Lords test but we got away with it in the end due to reverse swing
 
Hafeez will bowled here anytime now.

Misbah
Chanderpaul

Sub: Gavaskar

Check out an English batsman from the 80s called Chris Tavare. Makes Shiv Chanderpaul look like Imran Nazir.

We need a 35 off 240 balls innings -http://m.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/current/match/63302.html

I think I've heard of him. Read somewhere a stat about him. Another useful addition to the team:misbah

And follow up with 4 single digit scores in next two tests.

Yes, we deserve Hafeez.

Shan's getting dropped for Sami anyway.

We have no other opener in the squad and Azhar won't be promoted.

By virtue of us not giving ourselves enough viable options, we actually deserve Hafeez. Not that it will teach us a lesson anyway.

Anderson is the best pacer to watch since Wasim in my opinion.

Nah Asif was for me the best pacer to watch since Wasim and McGrath

absolute artist with the ball who made players like KP, Punter, Shewag and Tendulkar dance to his bowling. I remember in one test match Asif had hit Punter so many times on the bad in the space of 2 overs that finally when Asif hit punter on the pads on the wicket ball he decided to Walk off the pitch before the umpire had even made its mind up if it was LBW or not. And if you know Punter you know he never walked off, that day i realised Asif was just more then bowling line and length it was about toying with the batsmans mind so much that he excepts defeat even before he is out

I think this is a 400-450 pitch. But yes, Imran and Sohail would've done a better job than both Wahab and Rahat in this Test.
 
Credit to Hafeez for sticking around longer then Shan and Azhar


Also Azhar is a big worry now for the AUS tour where the bowl is going to come up to his neck on a regular.

Asif's bowling was beautiful but I found his action ugly.
 
Azhar has focused too much on the away-swinging balls and he's ended up becoming susceptible to the straight ones.
 
Younis might as well run himself out

He's a sitting duck

Doubt we'll make 150
 
Mastero dancing from
the word Go Younis is not doing much it seeems.

Azhar has looked like a sitting duck in this series, why keep shuffling across the crease and keep playing across the line in these conditions when its clearly obvious you need to play straight!
 
This is going to be an absolutely hammering of the highest order.

Truely embarrassing

I did say the game will be don't just after team and Jimmy would get 5
 
Azhar is proving that the UAE tracks have actually played a part in our batsmen regressing.

He was so much better-equipped to deal with this kind of bowling in 2010.
 
England bowlers showing how to bowl on this pitch

Mangement and captain you got team selection horribly wrong not adding any right arm pacers in the team. Criminal if you ask me

Azhar blockathons have been biggest crime this series. #3s aren't supposed to block block. Their primary role is to define momentum of the innings. Lil mind games that subconsciously effects the teams.

Hafeez and Azhar should swap their positions in batting order.

Such a naive understanding when it comes to HR management.

Get the scoreboard moving Mr Azhar.

Shoaib Mohammad?

He was probably the best Pakistani number 3 of all, yet did nothing other than block!

Not to forget his bowling against kallis , absolute class.
 
yeah we can add a right armer for the next game but he is also very average and will get spanked by root and co
 
Shan Masood and Azhar Ali really are "knocking down the door" to get Salman Butt back in the team.

Keep an eye out for Hafeez though.

He can get his Outside Asia (Except Zimbabwe) average up to 35 in this innings if he scores 457 in this innings. Or if he scores 422 not out.
 
Younis is the worst batsman in history to average 50+ in Test cricket.
 
Shabash Younis , people should learn how to score while dancing. Who wants to see a classic front foot or backfoot defence. We all want to see some levitating dance
 
Just to expand on what Mohammad Hafeez needs to do today to lift his Outside Asia (Minus Zimbabwe) average to a respectable level.

Hafeez needs to score 217 to lift his average up to 25.00.

He needs to score 337 to lift his average up to 30.00.

He needs to score 457 to lift his average up to 35.00.

He needs to score 577 to lift his average up to 40.00.
