England finish Day 2 on 92/4 in response to Pakistan’s first-innings total of 326

[Firebat]

Yes Shan this is what is required.

 

[IAJ]

 

[watson367]

shot yaar

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Why can't we ever produce bowlers that can bat

Worst tail in world cricket

We did.

Last time we had Shadab, Faheem, Amir, Wahab.

Mickey wanted bowlers who could hold a bat.

 

[Gullycricket]

Watt a shot

 

[AdamM97]

This is what’s needed. No need to play defensive cricket.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Brilliant shot!!!!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

magnificent shot

300

 

[gibsyhesperis]

Shan you beauty !

 

[shamaan]

What a flipping shot wow

 

[Greenstorm]

Cheetah Shan

 

[angrypathan]

Who are these people asking Shan to go all out? What is wrong with you?

He doesn't need to go all out. He needs to keep strike and that's it.

Exactly. Needs to hang around and grind the English bowlers. As I say this he hits a 2nd six, whatever works I guess

 

[Firebat]

Shannniii boooyyy WHAT A SHOT

 

[ahmadharis1]

Shan you beauty!

 

[IAJ]

Uth oye Shan!

 

[watson367]

kya baat hai shani

 

[Mueez]

What a shot... damn Shani kitni dafa dil jeeto ge?

 

[NauV]

Shadab played really well, no doubt! He changed the momentum of the game . . no doubt!

But that shot that he played . . criminal! It wasn't even like we were struggling to score runs or they had completely dried up an end . . or he was in trouble and needed a get out shot! What the hell was that?!

I have maintained, Pakistan loses so many games because of their inability to read situations and do daft stuff! That was a prime example . . I really hope he gets a serious beating in the dressing room for that shot!

 

[uberkoen]

Another 6! 300 is up! People on this forum are so negative. We lose a couple of wickets and they start thinking it's all over and done.

 

[Gullycricket]

Fazool Bess. Moeen any day

 

[Syed1]

Give him captaincy lol


Whattay legend

 

[Firebat]

150+ come on Shan

 

[ARK Rafay]

List A Shan 'beast' Masood is here now.

 

[Firebat]

Another 6! 300 is up! People on this forum are so negative. We lose a couple of wickets and they start thinking it's all over and done.

What Pakistan cricket does to its fans.

 

[Titan24]

Great stuff from Shan.

 

[shamaan]

Go on shan masood

 

[angrypathan]

Another boundary, unable to keep the strike though

 

[Thomaskutty]

Shan batting like a shaitan.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Smart from Shan. Single would’ve been tough

 

[uberkoen]

Didn't know we had lost this game already? Anyone would have taken 300 as a first innings score before the match started. We've got a good total on the board. He's a young lad. 22 years old. Still learning his trade. He played very well and will only get better.

 

[ahmadharis1]

Been saying it for a while...give Shan test captaincy and a run in the ODI team!

 

[Justcrazy]

Masood going after the bowling here

 

[m.shah]

Shaan should have taken a single of last ball.

 

[shamaan]

Another 6! 300 is up! People on this forum are so negative. We lose a couple of wickets and they start thinking it's all over and done.

Agreed who fought we would get 300 no one

 

[IAJ]

oh just four

 

[Syed1]

Spin is not a white man's forte. Bess should bowl dibbly dobbly medium pace.

 

[Yk313]

30 more would be dream

 

[uberkoen]

...4. He's on 147. Get your 150 Shan!

 

[Major]

Yup. Shan doesnt know how to bat with tail. But he is an opener and it is not his job to be batting with tail

 

[Mueez]

Shan Masood - what a player!

 

[watson367]

shan carried pak this innings

 

[Firebat]

Up to 147 now for Shan

 

[AdamM97]

Another 6! 300 is up! People on this forum are so negative. We lose a couple of wickets and they start thinking it's all over and done.

Hahah it’s PTSD from the past. Far too many times has Pakistan completely lost the plot after losing 2-3 wickets.

 

[angrypathan]

Great work by Shaheen, Shan back on strike

 

[Titan24]

I hope Archer doesnt injure any of our pacers, bouncers will only pump them up.

 

[Firebat]

Single well done Shaheen

 

[Yk313]

If Shaheen can just force tea, it would be good. 30 more runs would be good.

 

[topspin]

Spin is not a white man's forte. Bess should bowl dibbly dobbly medium pace.

Shane Warne says hello

 

[Snowflake]

Who are these people asking Shan to go all out? What is wrong with you?

He doesn't need to go all out. He needs to keep strike and that's it.

And what would that achieve?

 

[uberkoen]

Been saying it for a while...give Shan test captaincy and a run in the ODI team!

No, not in the ODI team yet. In fact, I would prefer if he developed himself into a test specialist.

 

[ARK Rafay]

List A mode is on yaar. Look at Shan. I have run out of words to describe his innings.

 

[m.shah]

Pakistani tailenders are so useless

 

[Justcrazy]

Strike back to Shaan , he needs to make sure he plays majority of balls here

 

[the Great Khan]

no doubt one of the best innings ive seen from a pakistani opener in the last decade!!

 

[Markhor]

Some handy hits from Shan.

 

[MMHS]

Great attitude from Shan, not trying to carry the bat - Captaincy material. I still have the nightmare of watching Azhar trying to chase 15 in 15 overs with last man......

 

[uberkoen]

And what would that achieve?

Work towards 320-330. Why take unnecessary risk?

 

[sweep_shot]

308/8.

They need to cross 350 at least.

 

[Justcrazy]

Shane Warne says hello

He was an exception.

 

[King_Kohli]

Shan on fire,decides to go aerial.

 

[Greenstorm]

Shan should not expose Shaheen.

 

[Justcrazy]

308/8.

They need to cross 350 at least.

Not likely, unless Shaan goes beserk here

 

[uberkoen]

Poor single that. This is where he needs to learn. That was not needed. Hold your ground

 

[Titan24]

no doubt one of the best innings ive seen from a pakistani opener in the last decade!!

Definitely. Hopefully bowlers can do a good job and make this a forever memorable one.

 

[angrypathan]

Protect your hands Shaheen, Archer is honing in on them the sly dog

 

[El Generico]

Great attitude from Shan, not trying to carry the bat - Captaincy material. I still have the nightmare of watching Azhar trying to chase 15 in 15 overs with last man......

What match is that from?

 

[Junaids]

It’s EIGHT YEARS since England won a home Test after the opposition batted first and scored even 260, let alone 300.

This score is very much what Pakistan would have been targeting.

 

[Snowflake]

Work towards 320-330. Why take unnecessary risk?

That's not possible if you are only able to score from one end. If you've essentially got a number 11 on the other end, scoring these runs by just keeping the strike is near impossible.

 

[Major]

And shan will get anothet over. Shaeen survives

 

[AdamM97]

Very disheartening when you realize that the last time a Pakistani opener scored a century was back in 1996!

 

[ARK Rafay]

Great attitude from Shan, not trying to carry the bat - Captaincy material. I still have the nightmare of watching Azhar trying to chase 15 in 15 overs with last man......

oh man what have you reminded me. Williamson roped him around by spreading the field and that was it for Azhar.

 

[King_Kohli]

Pakistan have played 54 Tests since Shan Masood's debut (2013). Shan has played in just 21 Tests but he has played at least 1 Test every year from 2013. Pretty odd isn't it? Don't remember too many cricketers who are part of the setup for so long but play little.

 

[Major]

Come on shan 150. Get it boii

 

[sweep_shot]

Protect your hands Shaheen, Archer is honing in on them the sly dog

True.

Same goes for Naseem. Protect the hands.

 

[Snowflake]

Great attitude from Shan, not trying to carry the bat - Captaincy material. I still have the nightmare of watching Azhar trying to chase 15 in 15 overs with last man......

Should be one of the most embarrassing moments of his career.

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

If he did not attack you would not have got that many runs so quickly.

No, he was already doing well scoring at a SR of 70. Should have aimed a 100 here. That would have helped Pak more.

 

[uberkoen]

That's not possible if you are only able to score from one end. If you've essentially got a number 11 on the other end, scoring these runs by just keeping the strike is near impossible.

Of course it's possible. He's just scored 16 runs from the two sixes and one four he hit. 3 more of those and we're there.

 

[Major]

Pakistan have played 54 Tests since Shan Masood's debut (2013). Shan has played in just 21 Tests but he has played at least 1 Test every year from 2013. Pretty odd isn't it? Don't remember too many cricketers who are part of the setup for so long but play little.

Century in England.
