He isn't fit for today.

If pakistan can't get him out today, then it's game over for tmr.

A fresh root and brook followed by crawley beating the ever living daylights out of abrar

is abrar a newphew or quota pick? state quota or ? the guy sucks.
 
pakistan really need 2 good spinners who can bat. thats why they keep preparing flat wickets. cant do seaming tracks either cause the batsmen cant cope with the spicy pitches.
 
Test matches are a scam in pakistan. People got too ahead of themselves. They can't even get tired batters out.

By the 3rd day it's a guarantee draw.
 
tbf even mcgrath ambrose cant save you such crappy flat pitches. need to wait for reverse.

It'll be hilarious if this test is a repeat of Bangladesh series.

For some reason I'm expecting a classic pakistan collapse on day 5 🤣🤣
 
Those of you who were demanding Babar's head for not giving Abrar a chance in limited overs cricket have their answers now. He is as bad as Shadab with the ball minus the ability to bat and field.

When the option is Abrar I will always select shadab due to his all round ability.

One inning and Rizwan is rubbish? This is normal standard of Pakistan fans as they are hyping players just after one innings or bashed them after one failure .

You didn't even watch champions one day cup hence you're clueless.
 
This is Pakistan's weakness in bowling. Discipline. They don't have it in them to have a plan and stick with it. You don't get control with Pakistan bowling. So it becomes difficult to contain an opposition. We saw in the Bangladesh series as well. When Khurram blew the top order away. There was no plan or discipline to bring about the rest of the wickets.
 
Test cricket is so much fun to watch in England. They have sporting wickets which help bowlers but you can score well if you are a quality batter. Crowd is always great and atmosphere is so amazing. Watching this test is a borefest. No crowd, cringe commentary (esp. the female) , dead wicket and just keep on batting till you make a mistake and get out. No swing, no seam, no bounce, no bite, no spin.
 
crawley is a damn good opener but only averages 32 lol.
best opener who averages under 40.
 
they should dig up the square , abandon this Test & play 2 Test in SL or BD ...
 
We have two over exhausted and one unfit pacers coupled with a part time off spinner and a crappy mystery bowler , we are likely to get England out on this surface more than once.

He's a hack. You plug his scoring shots away or he bats on non flat surfaces. He falls. There's a reason why despite a Shan Masood-esque average he's opening for England. Ben and Bazz like him. He suits their style of BazzBall play.
 
Just let Saim bowls a couple of overs , they haven't seen him bowl it might just work in our favour.

Omg you're so stubborn.

You agreed it was a rubbish tournament and yet rizzu was rubbish in it.

Use your Travis Head for once
 
Abrar is some sort of quota pick for sure.
He is just poor.
I don't see the point of Pakistan Playing test if they are gonna pick losers like abrar and saud.

Lack of quality

Yea and this is the reason why Pakistan were/ are losing series at home.

Bowling is very pathetic so its not a batters fault. Until Pakistan don't find quality Spinners they will not win matches at home.
 
Bowling short or into the pads to Crawley is plain dumb. Lack of discipline or game plan from bowlers is clear to see
 
Pakistan Is lucky that Ben Duckett injured otherwise things would have very bad
 
By the end of series Pakistan will regret playing cricket.
England's gonna demolish them.
