England v Pakistan | 1st Test | Lord's | Jul 14-18, 2016 | Day 1

[Mamoon]

Shafiq has been the best batsman today. He looks more scratchy in UAE than he does in England.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Asad is batting very well.

 

[Slog]

England and Pakistan both playing with 4 bowlers. Stoke was critical to England plans

Moeen is fifth bowler

 

[Mamoon]

Amla.

Close, but I would still say Cook.

 

[asyed]

Quietly this partnership has reached 50.

 

[blue_champion]

Amla.

Dhoni

 

[JibranAnsari]

Asad definitely needs to move up. Send hafeez down the order and make azhar open.

 

[Hasan123]

When is Stokes coming back?

Finn looks totally out of sorts..

Should be back for the next test

 

[IcedCoffee]

Stupid running... what on earth..

 

[big_gamer007]

Not a run out you IDIOTS..

 

[Slog]

Idiots

Almost threw it away

 

[Mehran07]

Run Out missed

 

[marlonbrowndo]

My heart was in my mouth there. What was Asad thinking

 

[JibranAnsari]

Damn , almost a run out.

 

[uberkoen]

Well, that would've been rather silly.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Peeuuww, come on boys do no hesitate, no need to take such risky singles.

 

[Hasan123]

Pathetic running

 

[Slog]

When is Stokes coming back?

Finn looks totally out of sorts..

I think 4 pacers will still play right?

 

[aukhan]

Bad running there by shafiq.

 

[blue_champion]

What a way to counter the Misbah temperament debate had this been a run-out

 

[Hasan123]

There was no single there.

 

[Slog]

This will make the batsmen nervy

 

[JibranAnsari]

Was a terrible mixup.

 

[the Great Khan]

Shafiq has been the best batsman today. He looks more scratchy in UAE than he does in England.

ive always rated him. One of our future middle order trustee's.

 

[HitWicket]

When is Stokes coming back?

Finn looks totally out of sorts..

Both Anderson and Stokes should be back for the next test, Anderson a guarantee but Stokes perhaps a bit more touch and go.

 

[Muhammad10]

Wow! Misbah and Shafiq took a leaf out of Hafeez and Azhar's books with that running between the wickets.

 

[IcedCoffee]

I think 4 pacers will still play right?

Should remove Finn as Woakes as an allrounder is a better bowler lately. But let's hope not for Pakistan's sake.

 

[Mamoon]

Shafiq deserves to play 100 Tests.

 

[Hasan123]

You can tell when England miss a chance or England lose a wicket it kills Botham a bit

 

[JibranAnsari]

Should score a 100 more today.

 

[ExplicitAI]

That mixup was just comedy.

 

[Mamoon]

ive always rated him. One of our future middle order trustee's.

Yes, Azhar looked good too but got a rough decision.

 

[big_gamer007]

I sincerely hope Misbah scores a century today.. Dude deserves it.

 

[blue_champion]

R/R above 3......wow.....I think tomorrow will be the deciding day who will win this...right now even stevens....also English bowling looking a little toothless

 

[imshally81]

Azhar Ali LBW looks not out for me...

[uberkoen]

Broad back on now.

 

[street cricketer]

Anderson
Broad
Woakes
Stokes
Moeen

I think this will be England's best attack.

 

[Syed1]

A small part of Botham dies everytime our score increases by 50 runs.

 

[Mamoon]

If Shafiq scores a couple of hundreds, Sky panel will help him become a star. They are big fans already.

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

Moeen is fifth bowler

No he is not

 

[Hasan123]

A small part of Botham dies everytime our score increases by 50 runs.

very true.

 

[#GreenRoars]

 

[Syed1]

Apparently a nice patch developing for Yasir to exploit

 

[imshally81]

Some Swing for Broad

[Hasan123]

Shafiq would get into the England team easily

A sight Pakistan fans are use too.

View attachment 68495

lmao, that's like me in Don Bradman Cricket 14. Batsman going completely perpendicular.

 

[Mamoon]

Shafiq 3,145 runs away from breaking into Pakistan's all time top 5 run scorers.

Roughly around 500 runs per year for the next 6 years.

Very doable.

 

[On_the_up]

Shafiq has looked the best Test player on show today.

Botham is as partisan as they come, annoyingly so.

 

[troodon]

Broad back to his trundling ways. Barely touching 80mph.

 

[#GreenRoars]

England commies are impressed with Asad Shafiq

 

[Mamoon]

Nasser and Botham trolling each other lol.

 

[IcedCoffee]

Lethal blow to Ian botham there by nasser.

 

[Syed1]

England commies are impressed with Asad Shafiq

They always have been

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Great banter between Nasser and Botham

 

[Abdullah719]

Good trolling of Botham.

 

[Muhammad10]

Great banter.

 

[Markhor]

That Botham dismissal )

 

[big_gamer007]

wow Botham ahahaha..

 

[Pantani]

It's because of his technique

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Lethal blow to Ian botham there by nasser.

Bothams reply was better

 

[big_gamer007]

Misban inching his way towards a well deserved 100..

 

[Hasan123]

Oh misbah missed out there

 

[aukhan]

Misbah

 

[sshakir411]

Shafiq has been miles ahead from his compatriots for a while now. Surprised to see people realize this now.

 

[Pete Rose]

I think it's a master plan by Pakistan to tire out englands frontline pacers. They play two 40 year old uncles which has kept cook away from introducing Moeen Ali. Hence they have to keep bowling their pacers all day.

 

[Hasan123]

Hahaha nassir trolled Botham well there

 

[QalandarFan]

Another four, by Misbah.

 

[shah_1]

Misbah in 60s

 

[IcedCoffee]

Bothams reply was better

Maybe, but that transition from poor techniques exhibited by Pak players to that was brilliant.

 

[blue_champion]

If there was a Naseer Hussain biographical film....I can imagine the voice over saying ....Before Khwaja,Before MoAli,Before Amla......millions of years ago on Queens landing there was the original bhai,Naseer Hussain

 

[On_the_up]

Great banter between Nasser and Botham

I don't think its banter, they actually don't like each other.

 

[Boi]

Does anyone know if Cook has had a warning for slow over rate recently? If so, he could get banned next game.

 

[saeed5646]

Reverse swing from broad i hope wahab is watching closely the only way wahab can justify his selection is his ability to bowl reverse swing at good pace

 

[Markhor]

I don't think its banter, they actually don't like each other.

The story was when Nasser was rumoured to join Sky, Botham said "well why do we want him for ?" but their relationship is better nowadays, they're good mates.

 

[navitrk2]

Misbha is doing DRAVID here

 

[Justcrazy]

runs partnership

 

[imshally81]

Reverse Swing?
