[Adil_94]

IMO, Imran or Zulfi need to replace Rahat next game.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Hit the bloody stumps! And its Rizwan who is a good fielder. These guys are chokers

 

[#GreenRoars]

When will we see some turn?

 

[Prince_]

Zzzz, too much rist slitting is going on here.


England depends heaviy on cook and root. Pak just need to take the wicket of cook and the rest of the wickets will fall like a pack of cards.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Terrible from Rizwan. Couldnt handle the pressure

 

[Rana]

come on Misbah yar!

 

[Mamoon]

Yasir's Lord's performance was a fluke, he is not that good.

 

[Adil_94]

The team just looks flat no energy in the field.

So easy for england

 

[Speedster1]

Runs coming far too easy atm

 

[#GreenRoars]

I hope by the end of the day score will be like 140/3

 

[mz123]

I have nothing to say abt pak bowling, this stupid post just show how frustrated I am:

 

[#GreenRoars]

Amir back, hope he will break this partnership.

 

[Prince_]

Yasir's Lord's performance was a fluke, he is not that good.

These wickets aren't suitable for spin bowling.

 

[Adil_94]

English commies overhyping Amir this isn't 2010 nor is it the greentops we were served up with last time.

Frustrating.

Cheater chants ringing around the ground for Amir. Booze must be in full flow this evening.

More than greentops, it was damp weather and it aided swing?

 

[marlonbrowndo]

I swear if Amir strays on the pads with this field.....

 

[Salman CricBio]

That awkward moment when you lose a test match before opponent starts the lead.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Better. The ball isn't doing anything so just keep it tight

 

[Hasan123]

Dam we had this game in our hands now it's slipping away.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

All 6 deliveries there. Make them work for runs

 

[hur rizvi]

Game is gone

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Too short!!!

Okay! )

Noticed that too..

 

[Cricketrenew]

No bouncers Yorkers to cook, no variety from Yasir........
Pakistan have shown how to loose a winning position with their batting...

 

[Adil_94]

Noticed that too..

best way to shut them up would be taking a couple of wickets.

[The_Odd_One]

If Azhar and Sami can score then I am sure Cook and Root will too.

This is an easy batting pitch. Both teams messed up in their first innings. England is doing better in their 2nd inning so I guess England has advantage.

Not sure if Pakistan can win this one now. The best case scenario for Pakistan is a draw now.

However, fast bowlers really need to improve. They have been completely flat so far in this series.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

except Amir, all our bowlers are rubbish

 

[Cricketrenew]

Okay! )

He has not bowled anyone out so far, most wickets I have seen have been given him by bad batting not variety

 

[hur rizvi]

Drop amir next game fgs

 

[Adil_94]

Our whole bowling attacks looks so flat and toothless.

[shah_1]

Pathetic

 

[Gone]

Pakistan have never lost a match against England after taking 100+ run lead so there's that.

Earlier the commies were saying, a team getting a lead of 100+ in the first innings has only lost 3% of the games in all test matches combined.

 

[The_KING]

Toothless bowling attack

 

[Salman CricBio]

Better. The ball isn't doing anything so just keep it tight

Suddenly, the ball will start moving miles when Pakistan would come to bat.

 

[Adil_94]

we really need to find a pace bowing all rounder. sad that Hammad Azam never progressed and developed.

This is a very good wicket actually. I thought England was 200 short on 1st innings, then PAK returned the compliment, by underscoring at least 150.

This match can end in a draw as, in case of declaration, I don't think England would do that before 350 lead - that's 450 for them to score. At the same time, don't think, without any spinner, it's possible for England to get 10 wickets in less than a day.

 

[The_KING]

It looks like the best we can hope for is a draw from this game.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

By what margin would England beat Pakistan?? I say by 110 runs

 

[nitrous]

i dont get it, when they bowl, they swing, when we bowl, we give away runs lol

 

[Shafi]

England batsmen has steel nerve not like ours choke in pressure

 

[Mamoon]

Only Bangladesh, Zimbabwe and West Indies have a worse bowling attack than ours.

 

[#GreenRoars]

So, now only reverse swing option is left?

 

[Adil_94]

i dont get it, when they bowl, they swing, when we bowl, we give away runs lol

our bowlers aren't as skillfull as theirs.

We can make a Marcus north out of Ali

 

[Adil_94]

Amir is bowling back of a length just reminds me of Junaid.

[marlonbrowndo]

Yasir has to bowl slower

 

[Abdul]

except Amir, all our bowlers are rubbish

Amir is the worst.

 

[hur rizvi]

Pathetic bowling

 

[Shafi]

If England bat whole day tomorrow and take 350 runs lead than we just need to survive 100 overs to draw this match

 

[The_KING]

i dont get it, when they bowl, they swing, when we bowl, we give away runs lol

Because their bowlers are skillful and have a brain unlike ours.

 

[The_KING]

except Amir, all our bowlers are rubbish

Amir is the worst of them all.

 

[JibranAnsari]

This is going to be a draw. England will score 450 and then leave Pakistan 350 to chase in 90 overs and Pakistan will save it. Pakistan just need to control the runrate.

 

[hur rizvi]

Amir shouldn't be pampered, he has been worst bowler from either side this match

 

[Shafi]

Only Bangladesh, Zimbabwe and West Indies have a worse bowling attack than ours.

If Bangladesh play Mustafiz, Taskin, Rubel and Al Amin along with Sakib has better than us

 

[JibranAnsari]

England is vastly superior than pakistan in every aspect of the game. We got lucky with Sohail khan in the first innings.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Yasir just bowling flat and straight pies at cook

 

[#GreenRoars]

Only Bangladesh, Zimbabwe and West Indies have a worse bowling attack than ours.

Wondering, when their bowlers performed better then us in last decade against England? Or even SL, India?

 

[Square Drive]

Lol @ those saying Amir is our worse bowler.

 

[Shafi]

Amir is the worst of them all.

How 8 2 20 0 2.50 still better than Sohail, Rahat and Yasir in this innings

 

[Rayyman]

Only Bangladesh, Zimbabwe and West Indies have a worse bowling attack than ours.

Here goes the wrist slitting, we crushed Australia in Asia also and have bowled much better than Sri Lanka in England so we're better than Sri Lanka. I also think our bowling is better than India, but their batting allows them to play 5 bowlers which make them look good. Pakistan even with four bowlers wouldn't have let Windies get a draw.

 

[Suleiman]

Think we are going to lose this. England is moving too fast, and it's only day 3. By end of day 4 or start of day 5 we may be asked to chase about 300 and collapse.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Why isn't Yasir flighting it slowly! He's just bowling easy rubbish

 

[#GreenRoars]

Okay! )

Hmmm, Root double ton was also fluke.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

So flat

 

[Cricketrenew]

Younis seems to be going further back to yasir, he thinks he is fielding to Amir

Forget decade, I mean now.

Yeah Pakistan would have lost like they usually do in the Windies. No way would Pakistan have made 600.

2007 India won the series 1-0. That English team was much superior to this one.
