At this rate they might have better luck with the physio! absolutely shocking bowling, even in the birmingham premier league which is one of the best club cricket leagues in the world you will find opening bowlers who keep things tight. This guy lacks control at the test level, It's hard to digest and I know Waqar leaving has hurt him more then the others but it's simply unacceptable. Releases all the pressure at the other end.

He's always been like this, always bowls a few hit me balls in every over, and struggles to string together 3 good deliverers. Also, the stupid umpires who keep warning him isn't helping him.
 
Swing a few back in at Vince. He's expecting most of these to angle away from him.

England may somehow want to hack it to 250 and have a go at Pakistan.

This England batting side ain't gonna win any damn thing overseas.

They can't dream of winning a Test in asia let alone a series and then will write songs about how they defeated the mighty lankans at home. tbh it's the same with most non-asian sides, they will come down on pak, ind etc hard when it comes to our struggles with lateral movement but don't make a big fuss over their inability to play spin and blame the pitch etc
 
Rahat !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well now it's genuinely interesting.

I'd still rather be in our shoes than yours - just - but without Ben Stokes we actually are a team which bats deep but without great quality.

The thing is, I reckon we only need 500 runs in the match to beat you.

We need to play Imran Khan, I think the name alone will strike fear into the hearts of English batsman
 
Par for the course now after choosing to bowl ......

Now for a bit more control. Infact getting Yasir on for a spell might be a good idea!!!

Good decision to bowl 1st in hindsight.

Not yet.

The rule of thumb is that inserting the opposition requires a minimum of 4 wickets before lunch. So you need 1 wicket in the remaining 6 overs to be on top.
 
Both Double Os gone, one milestone achieved, get them out before Lunch [emoji41][emoji41][emoji41]

Misbah can justify the toss.

Not necessarily. You have to look at the individual wickets too. I'll be happy even if we don't get more since we got both Cook and Root. That's almost half their batting
 
Need to dry up runs at both ends to these new batsmen, 1 more wicket before lunch would be great!

We're extremely lucky to have taken these 3 wickets and I say that as Brums finest specimen and a big supporter of the Warwickshire Bears given my understanding of the Edgbaston ground but it doesn't take a genius to make sense of the pitch this morning. So Junaids, which side of the bed did you wake up this morning? was it the blue side or the green side :yk

Becuase you are predicting 2 wickets to fall for the rest of the day for 280 odd runs, with one of the 2 gun bats in the team already in the hut.

That is why

270 odd runs for loss of one wicket for the prognosis to be correct- with 2 mainstays back in the hut.

Definitely not going to be 340/4 @ close of play.

We've got the big guns, no need to worry yet. :19:
 
Amir shouldn't worry about that. Keep angling it across. Second one he almost nicks
 
What is wrong with Aamir, why he is not pitching up?? [emoji84][emoji84][emoji84]

We still got a lot of work to do! even jobbers can be resilient at times now that the main-eventers have been taken out, koko b ware is in the hall of fame dammit! who's to say Vince won't score a double :yk2
 
Need to be patient with the ball here, no need to try and force a wicket, mistake will come naturally
 
Where is the inswing from amir?

Boss, can't you stop predicting. It's becoming boring every time you predict & I need to come back. Just enjoy the game - why bother to post what you like to happen rather than what logic tells.

This wicket should get a bit faster on Day 2, so - ideally PAK should look to finish the day 270/8, so that 1st hour of Day 2, they can get ENG all-out below 300 & bat for the best 2 days, which is a perfect decision from Misbah. Here your disliking of the Man is taking better of you - just like that 560 or innings defeat staff at Lord's.

Batting first or second has very little on a standard Test wicket as long as you are doing the basics correct. If Rahat & Amir bowled similarly like Sohail, England could have gone to Lunch 6 down & same could have been true for Jimmy, Berbi & Finn. Test cricket batting is all-time lowest level, at least for the last 70 years that I have seen some how.

Just enjoy the game.

I mean we will repeatedly point out how long he has been out the game but it still is disappointing, the saving grace is that he has kept a tight line.
 
Why are england stuck with Vince? Even If he scores a 100 here he doesn't look international standarf.

Rule of thumb is get both double Os before lunch. Now things should be easier, we can get one or two more in next 20 mins.

Totally agree, the wicket generally gets flatter and the conditions will be perfect for batting around mid-day tomorrow. The morning session is always tricky and pak would want to avoid batting at that point. But we've lost wickets at the top in beautiful batting conditions, hopefully aslam does a better job then masood.
