Haha true. Hope the turnout is good to see an emphatic 3rd day since tomorrow is SaturdayYes all 10 of them will be gutted for sure
Do people even pay for Day 5 tickets nowadays? There are hardly any test matches which go to Day 5, even then organisations usually make Day 5 tickets freeYes all 10 of them will be gutted for sure
They will be fine. Not too many anyway.Feeling sorry for those with day 4 & 5 ticke
3 wickets before Eng makes those 53 runs will take it very close to series win for Pakistan.England crumbling and in a whole heap of trouble in Rawalpindi, three down and 53 runs behind.
gillespie and shan have been upset because the selectors told them they cant have babar and shaheen in the team and they are not having a saying play xi eitherIf Pakistan had played Sajid, Noman against Bangladesh, the result of that series could very well have been different.
Criminal stuff by the selectors, team management to feel the over rated Abrar was the only spinner available in test matches.
Had it not been for Aqibs interference there is no way Shan or Gillespie would have even considered Sajid and Noman.
Abrar shouldn't never play ahead of nauman and sajid both are far better in batting and bowling.If Pakistan had played Sajid, Noman against Bangladesh, the result of that series could very well have been different.

Aqib got it right 100 percent he is a genious bro made a turning track greatwhere are those people who were laughing at the fans and were saying pindi isn't going to spin
Makes zero logical sense right now. Although Saim > Zahid
Had we beaten BD as usual we would've been in running for the WTC finals also.If Pakistan had played Sajid, Noman against Bangladesh, the result of that series could very well have been different.

Abrar in all honestly in quite an average bowler and is living off his debut game.
And they were kept out of team to accommodate trundlers like Shaheen and dramebaaz like Naseem.Sajid and Noman have single handedly won this for Pakistan with both bat and ball.
Who would have predicted this?
Babar has not done him any favour but it doesn't change the fact that he's quite average. He's a genuine no 11 on top and an awful fielder.He is the only notable young Test spinner who is available, Babar absolutely butchered him and instilled a terrible mentality, but I feel like they should invest in him still and a new regime should get more out of him hopefully, would certainly have been a better choice then Zahid

Anyone is better than zahid in all honesty. I would play Zafar Gohar ahead of Abrar far better bowler and a massive upgrade in terms of batting.
sometimes tukka sometimes luckI don’t have an IQ of 150+ for nothing
Hold your horses yet bud...People should have believed me when I told them that Pakistan will win this series. Instead, people like @Rana decided to stick to their clown show. A shame.
The birth and death place of BazzBallIt would be quite poetic if PAK beat England in Rawalpindi to win the series, the same place where 2 years ago England destroyed Pakistan and manufactured a win out of nothing.
I mean is that hilarious? Really?Rizwan behind the stumps to Brook "No more Bazball this is AqibBall now"
Excellent and hilarious sledging.
A certain hippo's career highlights behind the stumps is making racist remarks.
And its making a difference.Sajid Khan has that "badmashi, jazba, delari" which Shoaib akhtar has spoken about many times

If any team can lose it from this position, it is Pakistan.
I don’t want to see Pakistan chase more than 100 runs here.
Lower than 46?100-150 should be chased down by Pakistan. Very low total in modern day cricket.
Lower than 46?
if I'm not wrong weren't Pakistan 36 all out vs south Africa I think46 doesn't happen frequently. Don't think Pakistan were ever all out for 46 or less.
Honestly I think Saim and Agha can be far better and more economical options than Zahid. Zahid couldn't build pressure even if his life depended on itMaybe they wanted the ball to be bashed a bit so Sajid/Noman could grip it better, though I would have thought Zahid would be better for such a job
Not a fan of Nawaz but even he looks like Jadeja compared to this guyNo use of Zahid in this team. Even if he gets a wkt or two it ll be due to batsman mistake as he isnt capable enough test spinner.
Should have added a batting alrounder like nawaz maybe or someone like zafar who can bat a bit
Nawaz? Batting all rounder?No use of Zahid in this team. Even if he gets a wkt or two it ll be due to batsman mistake as he isnt capable enough test spinner.

Spin novice is perhaps a bit harsh here is his overall record in AsiaRoots legacy will be tested tomorrow - he has the golden opportunity to prove that he is not a spin novice. England needs another 250 (at least 200) to make a match of this and a lead of 250 will surely with this Test - Root has the chance to prove himself with a century, or at least an 80+
Compared to zahid nawaz is herath. And whatever u say he is million times better at three facets than this guy. Personally i d go with an extra batsman instead of zahid but if they wanted a spinner so bad zahid is not the oneNawaz? Batting all rounder?
Whilst zahid should not been in the team. Replacing him with a mediocre cricketer in nawaz is just replacing trash with trash.
Pakistan don't need to play 3 spinners. Agha, ghulam, saud can all bowl.
Pakistan better off using a seamer, or a reverse swing specialist if conditions allow for it.
So we agree Zahid is awful. However the metric to then say nawaz is better isn't exactly lifting the bar of mediocrity much higher. Not sure what the extra batsmen does in this team. Sajid and Nathan won't always run through teams so this is where you pick another decent bowler.Compared to zahid nawaz is herath.

Root is a proven Test performer regardless of tomorrow s result.Spin novice is perhaps a bit harsh here is his overall record in Asia

Of course thats not to say all these pitches were spin friendly but its a solid record.
No way they will pull that off on this pitch.lots depends on Root and Brooks partnership if somehow Engalnd able to get the lead of 150 thesurely Pakistan wont be able to chase it.
There is a long way to go in this game. England only need to bat 2 sessions and they become favourites. It's all on Root and Stokes is dangerousIf any team can lose it from this position, it is Pakistan.

Hang on hang on. Unfair on Abrar who didn't get to bowl on anything like these wickets!
Sajid and Noman would have been useless in the first game too

Remember all the English guys can bat to number 11, so they just need to stitch a couple of partnerships.
Pak could struggle with 120, like those olden days chases Vs SL and NZ when we couldn't chase 150s
Root rarely scores in tough situation when playing away. I won't see him as spin novice but on turning tracks he goes missing most often. Give him flat tracks and he scores big.Roots legacy will be tested tomorrow - he has the golden opportunity to prove that he is not a spin novice.

He was Babar's 'match winner' and got a rope way longer than he should have been given. He ended up losing us more games than he won.Watching Nauman Ali's performance this series and somewhat his Intl. career makes me think, what on earth was M.Nawaz wasting his time doing.
