Poor bowling

 

[Big Mac]

match is slipping

Yes, away from England.

 

[Shafi]

Bring Amir and give him 3-5 overs and rest Yasir!!! Becoming too predictable

 

[hur rizvi]

Looking rather comfortable. YAsir not getting much from this end

 

[Syed1]

Ohh ok, it wasn't a warning

What do you mean?

 

[Syed1]

Omg what is with these wrist slitters on this thread

 

[hur rizvi]

Bring Amir and give him 3-5 overs and rest Yasir!!! Becoming too predictable

Yasir should switch ends. Warne was saying there is much more rough from other end

 

[#GreenRoars]

Shabas Yas, keep it tight.

 

[Syed1]

Shah hasn't bowled well in this innings

 

[hur rizvi]

YAsir defo needs to switch ends.

 

[imshally81]

What do you mean?

He was putting up to fingers to the other umpire telling him there was two balls left.

 

[QalandarFan]

What do you mean?

Bumble said it wasn't a warning and that the umpires were just communicating with each other.

 

[Adil_94]

Yasir looking flat maybe a change of ends would help.

[hur rizvi]

WOnt mind trying Amir with reverse swinging ball

 

[#GreenRoars]

What do you mean?

I thought that Umpire gave an official warning to Wahab Riaz for stepping in a danger zone, but actually it wasn't. Umpire was pointing towards leg umpire and was saying that 2 deliveries are left

 

[hussain.r97]

Yasir getting very little assistance this end, they're tackling him with ease. Needs to change ends right now!

 

[yasir]

It was not a warning!!!

 

[#GreenRoars]

Should change Yas bowling end.

 

[hur rizvi]

Ballance is looking resilient in this innings

 

[imshally81]

Need 4th slip...

These Sky guys are hilarious.

 

[Shafi]

But Misbah do not use his brain to be innovative

 

[Hamza_]

England bat deep. Need to get 2-3 wickets asap

 

[Seen Sheen]

Like this angle more. He should get even wider and then direct it at the stumps. The late reverse away brings in bowled and edge into play.

 

[Syed1]

Why does it never carry

 

[yasir]

Should change Yas bowling end.

It won't harm

 

[MSaad1237]

Sun came out , all at the wrong time .

 

[Syed1]

Need to pick a wicket soon

 

[WC-Passion]

Sky's football section is nowhere near as good as the cricket one.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Yasir should change ends ASAP

 

[#GreenRoars]

, lucky boundary.

 

[imshally81]

You guys know what the real problem is right now ?? Apart from Yasir, the seamers don't exactly know what their generic roles are. Although the coming of Amir has been a positive it has essentially put in a confusion on who is expected to do what exactly ??

For instance our last series in SL the pacers that played were

Yasir - Leader
Imran - Line and Length Seam bowler (Container + Reverse)
Rahat - New Ball (Swing Bowler)
Wahab - Old Ball (Enforcer + Reverse Swing Bowler)

Now with Amir coming back, everyone expected him to take the mantle of leader from day 1 but since he hasn't been up to scratch the other two are dumbfounded on the field.

Rahat - Took 3 wickets but hardly any discipline (way too many boundary balls) + expects to be cannon fodder
Wahab - The less said the better, let's just hope he gets some reverse going on in the post lunch session.
Amir - Not into any test match bowling groove whatsoever
Yasir - Still chipping away but clearly can't be the leader of the pack in English conditions.

During this lunch break if Misbah and Mickey are clever they will assign specific roles to all bowlers and send them on the pitch with a directive game plan. Pre lunch session was all over the shop and not impressive by any stretch of imagination.

There was a post-match interview with Micky Arthur yesterday where he was discussing that the bowlers have been given those exact roles but weren't able to execute properly, for whatever reason, be it nerves or unfamiliarity with the conditions and slope. So it seems like the issue is with execution, not strategy.

 

[BleedGreen]

match going away form us

 

[shah_1]

Yasir has been so poor, hopefully he improves.

 

[QalandarFan]

Edges for four...

 

[yasir]

Beefy very reluctantly coming on board )

 

[The Last Of The Stars]

If we get Ballance, we got this game.

 

[imshally81]

Wicket coming soon

I am not here to make you or anyone happy. We are all here to post on cricket

Thanks

 

[ExplicitAI]

Yasir needs a wicket badly here, I think he will be getting some in this innings.

 

[Red Devil]

Ballance looking pretty solid. Gets into a very good position with that initial movement.

 

[castortroy]

Yasir bowling to full to the righ hander and too short to balance

No spin

 

[Watsupdoc]

Yasir Shah not looking threatening at all...

 

[cricketbadshah]

why cant misbah moves slip fielders little bit up so that the ball will easily carry to them...

 

[WC-Passion]

What was Younis thinking? lol

 

[Uzair Gooner]

Botham is seriously annoying

 

[Shafi]

Misbah keeps doing the same. Why Yasir is not saying to Misbah?

 

[ViciousMachine]

Agreed with most comments, Yasir not even really troubling batsman right now. Perhaps give him a slight break? Try Amir?

 

[Adil_94]

the game will be finished today one way or another.

[yasir]

Well my feed on ESPN here in USA is ball or two late - I see comment here first

 

[BleedGreen]

england bat deep, this is looking tough now

 

[castortroy]

Yasir should change ends

 

[The Last Of The Stars]

Yasir Shah not looking threatening at all...

Yasir has been so poor, hopefully he improves.

Are you guys ok? He can't take wickets every time, he is doing a decent job, at least keeping it tight.

 

[shah_1]

I bet Azhar Ali can spin the ball more

 

[#GreenRoars]

Shaba Wabby, one more yaar.

 

[BleedGreen]

R u English?

no...

 

[kuthaman]

Hahahahaha. I think it's a defense mechanism so they can prepare themselves in case Pakistan lose.

 

[hur rizvi]

May be try Amir for a few overs from Yasir's end

 

[Syed1]

Yasir not looking threatening at all

Need a 3rd man. Not a bad ball

 

[castortroy]

Only another 160 runs left

 

[Seen Sheen]

Runs keep flowing, edgy

 

[WC-Passion]

Why aren't they changing ends..

 

[hur rizvi]

Wahab needs to use Odd bouncer against Ballance

 

[imshally81]

Only another 160 runs left

And only 6 wickets left....

Agreed again, put in a 3rd man. Leaking too many runs down there.
