The best part of it is, Gillespie is a part of the madness / multi-verse of Pakistan cricket, it’s like whoever steps foot in Pakistan, lose their bearings completely.

The comic book ending for him now, would be to return to Yorkshire with Mr. Masood.
 
IMO Pakistan haven’t bowled too bad

English batters so far have just met the fire of spin with the fury of sweeps

They are brave players

after Masood left Yorkshire for Pakistan this year, Yorkshire’s form dramatically improved with a stand in captain and they got promoted.

Not too many good balls TBH. Sajid darted so many on the legs.
 
Why was Nauman chacha dropped in first place? Very good spinner
 
Next Test match, in revenge against the idiot Pakistani fans and media, the management will field 6 seamers and 1 spinner for the next Test, you guys want more seamers? no worries, sorted.

This is the way these mortons make plans.
 
Next game they must play Mehran and let him groom with Noman , Mehran is quicker than Noman and even though he turn less than him but will create trouble due to extra pace and put doubt in the mind of batsmen with the one which get grip and turn , he is as accurate as Noman as well.
 
Mehran can learn top spin from Noman as well as it will make him more effective with the pace he bowls at.
 
Day 2: TEA BREAK as England trail by 278 runs

PAK 366

ENG 88/1 (17) CRR: 5.18

I wish we had someone like AM Ghazanfar in our lineup, deadly accurate bowler who basically bowls outswingers at 90-100 kph and the balls seams away after pitching and at the same time he can off spin back in to the stumps from the same action and drift /outswing which he gets. Truly a magical off spin bowler.

What does Sajid add over Agha. If anything Agha seems more accurate.
 
After seeing England going at more than 5 per over i want to ask like that Bangladeshi journalist -

Final match . Your perform. What's happening?😴
 
Sky Sports' Michael Atherton:

"That opening partnership between Duckett and Crawley is such an important part of this England team.

"Neither of them had played together for the last eight innings because of injury to Crawley, and the dislocation to Duckett's thumb in the first Test match.

"It's great to see them back. They combine superbly, they're so different. Down the ground, square of the wicket, right handed, left handed. So difficult to bowl at, and a pleasure to watch."

Because ex players, politicans and PCB staff start overruling them and forcing their decisions. Ex players are the main problem. Inzamam and his saya corp connection is a perfect example.

I always say if you want PCB to run at its best, get rid of all the ex players.
 
English seamers were miserly on this deck in much harder bowling conditions

Jamaal leaking too many
 
Ramiz: I don't know if a lemon is a fruit or vegetable

How was this guy our chairman

Was Masood the price yorkshire had to pay for all the racism shenanigans going on at their club? The DEI captain.

If you saw Saj's interview with Bumble, Bumble didn't have good things to say about Shan's captaincy at Yorkshire. And literally, Bumble doesn't usually criticize anyone.

It's like if you rework the lyrics of that Beiber song -- Love yourself
"Bumble doesn't like Shan and he likes everyone."
 
Pope cutting loose now

He's probably the only English batter who has spared Pakistani bowlers on the last two tours.
 
I still remember Bumrah castling Pope and changing the direction of that series (or maybe not)

Will this castling help Pakistan in the same way?
 
Our bowlers need to learn to bowl one side of wicket and show patience
 
Ramiz says Pakistan followed their strength which is spin. Atherton interrupts, "They didn't think spin was their strength at the start of international summer, they were very keen on having grass on the pitch."
 
Not sure what Shan is saving Zahid for. Time to introduce him now. It is spinning
 
Sajid lacks accuracy , even though he bowls some jaffa but is not consistent with his line , length is good though.
 
PAK creating chances but just cannot get any luck. Duckett could've been out twice in the last ten minutes.
 
Not good field settings can't give easy singles away when there's slight help for spinners. Make them try something

Shan basically picked for his English speaking skills and cause he is somewhat alright looking.
About time pakistan selects a tough ruthless aggressive player as captain. I still think it should be someone like rizzu bhai or an aggressive batsman/bowler
 
Duckett survives by a margin of milimeters

TMS :
For the first time in the game, England's WinViz has gone above 50%.

WinViz currently - Pakistan 45%, England 51%, Draw 4%

Start of Day Two - Pakistan 64%, England 29%, Draw 7%

Start of the game - Pakistan 64%, England 28%, Draw 8%
 
Did they play zahid for his batting? Give him some some confidence yaar and the ball
