What's new

England beat Pakistan by 330 runs in the 2nd Test

Such a tape ball shot.. Weight on the back and horizontal bat... From the coaching manual of Sarfraz's
 
At least 1 positive from this game is amir batting. Seems to be batting good.
 
I honestly believe if Pakistan reversed its batting order there would be no difference.

A continual problem with Pakistan batting is the inability to rotate the strike, continually getting sucked into the drive and lack of resistance.

The batting is too much to the extreme. Either they try too hard to survive, meaning the scoreboard doesn't move, and the England bowlers can get in rhythm. They have too much quality to not create openings. Or the batsmen aimlessly take attack. The English bowlers know this is fine as they're in the game.

It's a problem whenever Asian sides come to England since the Flower era. The batsmen are not familiar to the bounce, seam and swing. Surviving is difficult let alone getting the runs on the board for a competitive total.
 
Cman Rahat waste some time. Take one on the body and pretend to be injured. Rain around the corner
 
Im predicting 4 more overs till rain. Heavy clouds. Can these 2 last that long
 
It hurts when you see Amir coming behind the line of the ball as a tailender emphasing the lack of swing and nice deck to bat on and our top 7 batted like clowns
 
I'm expecting a knee jerk thread to get Amir to bat at number 6 or something outrageous like that
 
Yaar do char press up hi kiyay thay, yeh angraiz tou dil par hi leh gaye..

Paaji just hope Pakistan dont go India way and lose all the fight....

Hopefully your boys regroup and come back hard in the next 2.

Keep Amir and Yasir wrapped up in Cotton wool- you will need them to bounce back. Rest of your attack doesnt inspire much.

Actually there was a time where Amir was batting at 6 for us. It wasn't particularly good time though
 
Woakes gets another one first over of his spell to finish the match
