England v Pakistan | 1st Test | Lord's | Jul 14-18, 2016 | Day 2

Ashwin had to play two matches to get 3 wickets in England :) [MENTION=134809]sensible-indian-fan[/MENTION]
 
Pakistan making good on their promise about England's untested middle order.
 
Faster seamers were getting best results from this pitch (aside from Line/Length), and hence i feel Wahab has a key role to play here. Just needs to be more consistent.

2 innings.

And in one of them he didn't bowl much.

Yasir > Ashwin if he does this carnage in freaking England but let's have some perspective please.
 
In front of Yasir their batsmen are looking tailunders.... We have a long tail, but he is making their tail look longer :)))

Just get rid of Cook and Root, rest leave it to Yasir.... He is also carry the work load with flying color...

No wonder England billed this series as England Vs Amir and Yasir ;-)
 
So 89 runs and 3 wickets in that session. Definitely Pakistan won that one..
 
Facepalm at Wahabs bowling. Guy is leaking a boundary every over. At least keep the pressure on them.

Producing two catches of one the best players in the world isn't an easy thing to do.. Amir has bowled well as well
 
If we hadnt dropped cook twice we would have been in the box seats here! pakistans session and lets hope we have another good last session after Tea!
 
Yasir has bowled really well, but need support from other end.

Wahab is keep leaking runs and a boundary in every overs, which is not helping the cause.

After lunch, Yasir should continue and Amir should be given the ball.

2nd spell was decent. But I wont say Amir has bowled well if you take whole performance into account
 
[MENTION=132916]Junaids[/MENTION] I told you that Yasir can bowl all day from one side economically...He is one of kind leggy, people have not seen the likes of him before...He is making entire English batting look like tailunders....That is more than what I expected...

As long as Yasir and Amir remains fit and play all test, this series will be spicy and entertainment for all cricket fans!!!

PP has always had its fair share of fickle guys. Match thread is always an interesting place to follow the game; the way some guys change their colors is pretty humorous. Wrist slitters keep the fun going during dull moments.
 
Yasir is bowling beautifully!!

Feel bad for Amir, 2 easy chances gone down. I feel getting that first wicket would have put him at ease.

Offspinners will not succeed in England.

Leggies are always better to have on flat tracks.

Indian selectors are stupid. They chose Jaddu over Mishra.
 
Yasir and Amir in tandem was working well, they need to get that going again. It's important for Amir to pick up a couple of wickets as a confidence booster.

Mishra averaged 109 in England in 2011.

Good spinners will outperform bad spinners.

Leggies are better if they are quality like Yasir.

By the way, Murali averaged like 19 in England with no support. 48 wickets in 8 games or so.

It's a good strategy, say the same thing for every incoming batsman and it is bound to come true at some point. Then he can claim "I told you so" :))

Yup, exactly. I have seen him do this so much. Then one out of a 100 hits, and he's like "Look, I said it!!"

Haha.

Yes, but good leg spinners have more chance of succeeding in countries like New Zealand, England, South Africa and Australia, compared to other type of spinners.
 
Mishra didn't do anything in 2011 [MENTION=141520]troodon[/MENTION]

Just helped Dravid to score his 100 in Oval. That's it

Fair enough. I thought the problem was the bowlers are adjusting to the lords slope. Amir improved the more he bowled.

Pakistan will make career of either Vince or Ballance in this series. It is known.

We love doing that, always have. Question is, who will it be.

Even if English manage 50 run lead they have to bat last.

PAkistan can get out cheaply in 3rd innings. Our batting is very unreliable. WIth 50 run lead England can limit us to around 200 and can be favourites, we might score 250 and that would make an even game and around 250 would be tough to chase. So Honours are even IMO
 
This is why I wanted Imran Khan ahead of Wahab. Imran is not an extraordinary bowler but bowls a very tight line. Disciplined bowling could have prevented a lot of runs and might have affected a break through or two

Haha.. I always criticized the lulloo pacers, never the spinner. :yasir

Not only session but he has removed England's chance to get substantial lead or any lead.

Dear you would have to earn 10 wickets against England. There are hardly any easy wickets with the kind of depth they have. They can collectively add 100-150 runs; the numbers 8,9,10.

Cook is still there. Bairstow is the man in form. I would sat England still a bit infront. If this partnership is halted early then we might gain ascendancy.
