England v Pakistan | 2nd Test | Manchester | Jul 23-26, 2016 | Day 2

[Adijazz1706]

Oh yaar just cause the other players are performing worse than a another horrible player does not justify his selection.

Azhar Ali averages above 40 in both ODI and Tests. Hafeez also has an average over 40 in tests. Shan hasn't done anything to justify his selection. Even if he scores a 100 in the game that does not justify his selection as he's a mediocre player who looks rather poor our there. My question was, is he the best we have?

Shehzad averages ~45 in Tests IIRC but he won't be selected, who do you have in mind that is definitely better than Masood who looks more comfortable than Hafeez, Azhar and Younus?

 

[shah_1]

Likes of Warner, Smith and Kohli will smash woakes around. It's just that our lulloo batsmen are making him look good

 

[Chief Destroyer]

We better introduce some young players against West Indies. I'm getting tired of watching these Misbah clones.

 

[The_KING]

Azhar is nothing but a FTB too.

 

[Pete Rose]

I miss Younis of 2006

Sure he is ten years older now

 

[farazaidi]

Even that is looking difficult!

Long long way to go in the game. Honestly wasnt expecting much from both batsmen dismissed

I hope it rains for next few days. No way we're winning this match.

no way we are drawing this match, we are a gonna lose, we will be forced to follow on. )

 

[Syed1]

As usual, trying too smart - what about if I start from Downtown or Steeles-Kipling?

Why you always call bamboo towards you?

That is why I said it is an ambiguous statement. When you are caught with your pants down all you can do is attack the poster.

 

[IcedCoffee]

3 down

 

[farazaidi]

Lo bhai hogaya kaam

No. I think he is not rotating the strike

[shah_1]

Clown khan

 

[aukhan]

 

[Firebreaker]

YK fails again

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Absolutely rubbish stuff. Our batters are embarrassing garbage

 

[The_KING]

lol Younis

 

[majiz]

Sure he is ten years older now

he didn't do well in england even then tbf

 

[Jabo]

was hoping we wouldn't lose 4 wickets by today

guess we will

 

[Red Devil]

Lmfao what the hell was that?

 

[castortroy]

This is pathetic

Yk is finished in these conditions

It was inevitable that England would level the series here

Well I wasn't expecting much from Yoinis

 

[Syed1]

YK gone )

 

[New Yorker]

Now Azhar goes but he is still there, who would you have to replace him.

We are playing like WI in their match, losing wickets to the scoreboard pressure

At no3, Fawad Alam.

Not that I am ready to toss Azhar into the bin yet. But there are options.

 

[Strike!]

Innings defeat incoming.

That's what you get for celebrating like idiots after winning the first match.

 

[castortroy]

When have we not been 40/3 in the last 5 years

 

[The_KING]

Why did Younis even come out to bat with only 4 overs left? Should have sent in a night watchman.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Gave away 3 wickets.

Innings loss coming up I think.

 

[Hasan123]

We will be 4 down than

 

[Chief Destroyer]

No. I think he is not rotating the strike

Agreed. He needs to be a bit busier and relax. Dude looks so stressed out. Clearly not a number 3.

 

[ExplicitAI]

that was horrible

 

[Speedster1]

The 'drunken giraffe' as boycott put it at work

And off goes the drunken giraffe to get a kebab on his way home

 

[castortroy]

Here comes a walking wicket

 

[Adil_94]

Younis looking out of his depth outside Asia.

[shah_1]

Mamoon was right about YK

 

[Pete Rose]

Hafeez threw it away

 

[Hasan123]

Ehhh 4 runs )

 

[castortroy]

So Rahat has sent in to play shots

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Shot from Rahat. ) ) ) Omg I'm dying. )

 

[Syed1]

So they sent in Rahat.. Yasir would have been a better night watchman

 

[Junaids]

This is why it is time for the once-great Younis Khan to retire.

That was a rubbish ball down the leg-side. But because Younis has lost his hand-eye coordination he jumps around the crease. And because he is not still, he can't judge the line and plays balls that the younger Younis would never have been tempted by.

 

[Adil_94]

We should cut our losses and pick fresh blood in Australia. Younis will be destroyed by Aussie pacers.

Calm down everyone, Rahat is here to save the day

[Hasan123]

Team man and Hafeez should be thrown away after this series.

 

[IcedCoffee]

When have we not been 40/3 in the last 5 years

Least we had either Azhar/Misbah or YK/Misbah to help. Now we're screwed.

 

[Syed1]

What will lulloo ali do

 

[New Yorker]

YK gone )

Time for Misbah to blunt the new ball for Shafiq.

Yep, Babar must play in the next Test.

 

[dirk diggler]

Unfortunately we don't have anyone who's good enuf to send as night watch men

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Pakistan heading to a massive total, and Misbah's trump card Rahat is at the crease.

 

[Syed1]

Root injured?

 

[Sandeep]

Is Rahat Ali stupid? What was that shot? Does he know what night watchman means?

 

[Chief Destroyer]

The new ball has been blunted. It's just scoreboard pressure now.

 

[castortroy]

Did you guys really think Pak batting was going to come good here

 

[The_KING]

I love Younis but it's time for him to retire.

 

[Adil_94]

Rahat Sehwag what a shot.

He took it literally. He's the savior of our team; the protector of the night; guardian of the realm.

 

[Shafi]

We need to find positive players than Garbage like Hafeez, Azhar. Masood I want to give him some more chances at least he try not to throw his wicket

 

[Hasan123]

Azhar
New opener
Asad
Babar
Harris/Saud
Yamin/all rounder
Sarfraz
Hasan Ali
Amir
Yasir Shah
Another fast bowler


Something like that should be the team for the start of the next overseas tour.

 

[Syed1]

YK's game so far.. drop 2-3 catches and then get out for nothing.

Mashallah nazar na lagay humaray legend go

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

Masood making batting look easy now. Azhar and YK made it look like a minefield.

 

[Shafi]

Let see if we can score even 200.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Woakes isn't lulloo guys.

Kohli, root and co ain't gonna smash him with ease like you guys say.

Here wickets are falling due to scoreboard pressure I guess.

 

[Adil_94]

Our target needs to be 390 avoid the follow on.

[Adijazz1706]

Younus should either retire or be kicked out, this is ridiculous.

 

[On_the_up]

Rahat Ali is an awful night watchman. Some one tell him what the job entails.

Yasir would be the best Pak have at the moment.

 

[castortroy]

Just compare Woakes and Rahat

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Azhar
New opener
Asad
Babar
Harris/Saud
Yamin/all rounder
Sarfraz
Hasan Ali
Amir
Yasir Shah

Yup. Exactly that

 

[The_KING]

Masood batting well which shows that this is an easy pitch to bat on once your get your eye in. Younis and Azhar threw away their wickets.

 

[IAJ]

Aaj bhi press ups karna ladko

 

[uberkoen]

hahaha. Night watchman.

 

[aukhan]

 

[castortroy]

Absolutely pathetic batting

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Pakistan and WI have a batting competition on right now. Who is worse?

 

[marlonbrowndo]

God dammit!!!! just finish the day. I cant suffer anymore today

 

[nish_mate]

Rofl at Younis dance... Lol

 

[Shafi]

So Woakes will get another 10 wicket!!! We really need to reshuffle our cricket.

 

[On_the_up]

Sitting duck, only a matter of time. Gosh our batsmen cant bat and our tail enders can't even hold one.

 

[Sandeep]

Will they send another night watchman now?

 

[The_KING]

Lulloo Rahat is the worse player in the team. Just throw him out.
