England v Pakistan | 1st Test | Lord's | Jul 14-18, 2016 | Day 4

[Mamoon]

They delivered brilliantly in the 2015 world cup semi final. Even better in the world t20 semi final this year. They were amazing in English and Australian tour away the ones they just played.

They deliver more than their Pakistani counterparts in Pakistan India games at least.

 

[sjahmed23]

Should give the ball to azhar or shafiq... these two look well settled.

 

[PakFan2010]

If Pakistan were 186-6 chasing 283 in the fourth innings.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Its very important that Pakistan change their opening combination in the next match. These two are completely useless.

 

[hur rizvi]

We have totally lost the plot.

I think they have bowled well but Credit to England this is great effort from two future greats. Woakes will become a worldclass AR and Bairstow is already among best WK/Bats

Not hard when you are facing poor batsmen for the most part. Since 2013 champions trophy they have faltered under pressure for the most part.

 

[Shafi]

Amir bhai is not ready for test cricket yet. Imran Khan should replace him in next test

 

[PakFan2010]

Amir is a trundler, no pace or movement.

 

[TurkishCricketFan]

Dont panic

 

[Haz95]

What this thread is proving is that Pakistan have perhaps the worst fans going. Some of the so called experts seem to think test cricket works like ODI or T20 and there'll be a wicket every ball. If not then 'we have the most overrated attack' or 'we are chokers' or 'indian bowlers deliver under pressure(never mind they don't even deliver when theres no pressure!)'.

Relax yaars, one wicket is greatly gonna shift favour to Pakistan. Although I'm neutral here, the likelihood of Pakistan winning this is still 80/20

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Amir needs to do something now and fgs bring in the deep point

 

[Hasan123]

If Pakistan were 186-6 chasing 283 in the fourth innings.

We would lose.

 

[PakFan2010]

Why is the field so deep? Absolutely horrible captaincy from Misbah.

 

[yasir]

Yasir needs to change end

200 All out but England have Woakes and Broad at 8 and 9 and we have Yasir and wAhab

 

[ViciousMachine]

If Pakistan were 186-6 chasing 283 in the fourth innings.

Our tail is useless. Do not forget, 1 run and final 3 wickets fell. No other test team has a worse tail than that.

 

[Mamoon]

England top-order batted at a good tempo even though they lost wickets. This allowed them to stay in the game and put pressure on Pakistan.

On the contrary, when we lose 2-3 wickets, we go into our shell and crap our pants.

You're being too generous to England..

 

[MRSN]

50 partnership.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Poor bowling. This trundler should be dropped

 

[Hawkeye]

We have totally lost the plot.

Agree.

Ind bowlers rise to the occasion at least.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Close in fielders need to be more alert!

This can prove very costly if he doesnt dont understand why pacers are getting preference in chosing ends. I can understand for WAhab but not for others

 

[PakFan2010]

I'm disappointed with Shah and Amir in this innings, our supposed best bowlers.

 

[JibranAnsari]

92

 

[Hasan123]

Poor bowling

 

[hur rizvi]

They are literally milking Amir

 

[On_the_up]

Amir had been very disappointing this match.

50+ run partnership.... getting into dicey territory now.

 

[SpiritOf1903]

Take your jinxing elsewhere

You're being too generous to England..

 

[JibranAnsari]

Woakes will score a 50

 

[#GreenRoars]

Wicket wicket wicket, its getting out of hands now.

 

[Sandeep]

Lovely fielding.. these are the efforts that will lift the spirits..

 

[hur rizvi]

So poor from Amir

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Amir should stay around the wicket tbh

 

[spade]

Pakistan still have plenty of runs to play with but I see all the pakistani fans so anxious...ha ha matter of time bro they have to get to 230/6 to really have any genuine impact in the game so far its been a good partnership from eng which is to be expected given they are a fine side playing in their conditions but the actual test would be to score the last 50 runs of the total until then pak fans should relax really....i don't see eng getting over the line

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Jinxing going on overtime.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Amir has looked completely toothless tbh. But as long as his action is biomechanical perfection it's all good

 

[Syed2015]

Amir is no good. Should be replaced for the next game. Utterly overrated.

 

[shah_1]

Bakwas bowling

 

[Hasan123]

Our tail should have got us 20 more runs

 

[hur rizvi]

No pace and no movement. Such an inocous spell

Cos its easy to relaxed when you are neutral.

If India were in this position, we would be nervous.

 

[Seen Sheen]

Woakes shuffling a lot to cover the outward movement. An in-ducker should be tried.

 

[farazaidi]

Amir needs patience, just as his fans

I was wondering why Masood was picked.....looks to be a wonder fielder

 

[JibranAnsari]

Rubbish bowling

 

[Pete Rose]

So are playing aamir next game

Nonsense. England were batting recklessly- case in point moeen, vince, hales and root and immediately saw that it wasn't a good approach

this 'tuk tuk' by woakes and bairstow is the only reason England are in this

 

[Sandeep]

Jinxing going on overtime.

Posters are not even subtle at it..

Jinx comment

 

[timeflies]

Where is Amir the swing bowler man? His line and length have been alright but he hasn't moved the ball all game. Underwhelming to say the least

 

[Enforcer]

Still pak 70 eng 30

 

[The Last Of The Stars]

Now this is the over that will change the game. Come on Yasir Shah.

 

[HamzaSaeen]

Amir has been so underwhelming in this entire game

Yasir should try a googly. Maybe Bairstow doesn't read it and leaves it.

 

[hur rizvi]

Jinxing going on overtime.

REally? Wicket doesnt seem like coming and only 90 reqd

England's game to lose

 

[MRSN]

Pakistan lost the plot with their lazy batting. 280 was always going to be a doable on this track.

 

[castortroy]

Has Yasir actually turned a leg break today?

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Problem is Pakistanis are so tensed they are wrongly identifying the jinx posts.

 

[JibranAnsari]

This was probably chance to win a test in the series. With Anderson and stokes back our batting won't even score 150. Disappointing but england deserves to win.

 

[HitWicket]

WinViz currently :

Pak 58%
Eng 42%

 

[Sandeep]

Make the pitch 10 times worse, replace current Pakistan bowlers with Wasim, Saqlain and Shoaib, at their prime. Think about Sachin's 136. Yes, that is how tough it was!

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Nonsense. England were batting recklessly- case in point moeen, vince, hales and root and immediately saw that it wasn't a good approach

this 'tuk tuk' by woakes and bairstow is the only reason England are in this

Agreed. Tuk tuk is what got them this far.

 

[hur rizvi]

PEople dont let Indians fool you. England have the advantage now.

No, Pakistan were not allowed to build pressure because England were engaged. They batted with a purpose even when they lost wickets.

Even though they lost Cook and Root very early, Pakistan were never completely on top because we were leaking runs every over.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

England's game to lose

Brother you are a wrist slitter like me.

We are a different breed. lol.

Talking about others.

 

[TurkishCricketFan]

Either dont bowl Amir or let him attack the stumps.

There is no variaty at all.

 

[Hasan123]

Bairstow has adjusted well. Will have to get woakes and the rest of the team out to win

 

[JibranAnsari]

England have played Yasir really well. He isn't doing anything different from first innings.

 

[blue_champion]

Wow Yasir looks like he is going to take a wicket every ball

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Beauty

 

[Pete Rose]

I don't think Pakistan needed more runs. Not hating, but aamir hasn't held his own.

 

[hur rizvi]

First one that has spun from Yasir

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Make the pitch 10 times worse, replace current Pakistan bowlers with Wasim, Saqlain and Shoaib, at their prime. Think about Sachin's 136. Yes, that is how tough it was!

Waqar not Shoaib I think.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

PEople dont let Indians fool you. England have the advantage now.

You remind me of me.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Maybe try Rahat after one more Amir over?

 

[ViciousMachine]

Well, 11 overs until new ball. Might be a reason to take new ball now.....

 

[JibranAnsari]

Pakistan need to save every run. Fight till death.

 

[Rayyman]

Has Yasir actually turned a leg break today?

Yeah, he got Ballance out with a Shane Warne type delivery.
