England v Pakistan | 3rd Test | Birmingham | Aug 3-7, 2016 | Day 4

[marlonbrowndo]

Had to have midwicket...... Why the deep square leg hes not gonna bowl short

 

[Haroon786]

Was against South Africa. I guess the point is is there actually a better seam bowling all rounder in the world right now?

Woakes.

Was talking about Kohli

 

[HitWicket]

Woakes.

Would be a bit too preemptive to chuck someone in after 2 good tests perhaps though?

 

[LastManstanding]

The criteria was that the team could be put in in any conditions hence the bowling combo. Morkel was picked at 12th man to cover for the bouncy pitch option. Steyn just hasn't been the same as of late. Hazlewood is decent shout surprised Warne didn't put him forward.

Murali Vijay deserved a spot ahead of Warner then. He has been a better opener considering different conditions.

I would have Rahane over Root and Kohli.

Nah Root is one of the winningest.

 

[street cricketer]

Lol Stokes or Kohli ?

Also does AB still keep ?

Stokes. Who were you talking about?

No. He has left the gloves.

 

[LastManstanding]

Nah Root is one of the bestest.

Failed in Australia. Rahane has a score of 90+ in every country he has played.

Got a 100 in Aus I think

 

[Adijazz1706]

Commies saying Misbah going too defensive and I agree.

 

[Slog]

Warnie is gonna start tearing his hair out any moment now...

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

gonna be a big score, 450, thats a lead od 350, we cant chase that...

 

[#GreenRoars]

Should bring Rahat now from one end.

 

[Adijazz1706]

26 wickets in last 5 Tests

18 in the last 2 leaves 8 in the 3 before that.

 

[JilaWatan]

Gaaaah misbah is so defensive, I wanna pull my hear out

 

[#GreenRoars]

Ok bhai, we got the match result. Why bother watching then or keeping info?

 

[shaz619]

Need wicket wicket wicket wicket wicket.

New Rihanna song? wicket wicket wicket wicket

Stokes. Who were you talking about?

No. He has left the gloves.

Kohli

Watling as keeper

Rahane's record is better overseas.

What is Misbah doing? We have them 53-2 but he has the most defensive field ever. Gotta attack now!

Three wickets more in this session is our target.

Don't have that much time, if Cook waits for 450 the game is a draw.

Quality as the bowling a/r

 

[shaz619]

Rahat Humanity's Blessing Ali coming on to bowl, come on mate bowl 6 jaffas in a row

 

[Adijazz1706]

Three wickets more in this session is our target.

We are not playing Banglabros, 1 more would be good nevermind 3.

 

[Markhor]

Three wickets more in this session is our target.

There's only an hour left in this session. Another wicket and it'll have been our morning.

 

[Adijazz1706]

Rahat 'Wicket or 4s' comes on.

 

[Haroon786]

Rahane's record is better overseas.

Root has done well everywhere he's gone recently after coming back post the Australian Ashes in 2013.

 

[shaz619]

Three wickets more in this session is our target.

Cook + Root scored 66% of England's runs in the last test. Cook + Root are the equivalent of 7.26 wickets, now that we've taken out Cook; Root's wicket will behave as a chain effect to possibly cause a collapse inshaAllah

 

[shaz619]

Preferably that of Root!

Rizwan, supposedly our best fielder, has been very sloppy in this Test. Missed run-out yesterday and now misfielding.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Joker Rizwan.

Poor cricket.

 

[shaz619]

I might head to the gym in 20 minutes time, hopefully by the time I get back England are all out for 150-200

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Rahat keep it there and root will surely nick one

 

[JibranAnsari]

No we will take three.. We are brutes.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Have to keep Vince on strike now for 6 balls against Yasir

Can be a bit tricky adjusting from warming the bench all series to the field, maybe he didn't go for a jog this morning or had a proper breakfast? hence his lack of awareness while the others are battle ready

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Too full there

 

[Rana]

Rizwan has been such a joke!

The plan is bowl absolute tripe then surprise the batsman with a jaffa, Rahat Ali has been thinking outside the box this series

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Well bowled.

 

[Rana]

Hes been too full Yasir

 

[LastManstanding]

Root has done well everywhere he's gone recently after coming back post the Australian Ashes in 2013.

But Rahane hasn't failed in Australia like Root did. Till the time Root rectifies his record there or Rahane fails in other countries, Rahane will be rightly rated ahead of him.

[MRSN]

poor field placement. Shouldn't allow Vince to get off strike.

 

[MRSN]

Vince is struggling against Shah and Misbah should have better attacking field.

 

[Markhor]

Rather uneven bounce. Some balls have took off and few have kept low.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Both are well set now, net to break this growing partnership yaar.

Rated according to who ?

ICC ratings Root has been no 1 and in the eyes of the cricketing world Root is better too.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

yaar cant let them get off strike like that

 

[Markhor]

These are too easy to leave.

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

eng should reach that today, wicket is flat, just too flat...

 

[MRSN]

Rahat to serve some pies.

Think before you make rubbish comparisons.

It's Roary song, not Rihanna baaji

 

[Watsupdoc]

Rahat bowling his usual rubbish.

In the eyes of delusional bunch.

 

[Hasan123]

We need a wicket so bad.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Rahat bowled alright in that over. Cant afford these misfields

 

[LowKiiSavage]

Me thinks rehana baji should make a song for Pakistani team.

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

These are too easy to leave.

this is how eng play and then we make mistake... Keep going...

 

[MRSN]

awful bowling. awful captaincy. Nervous England batsmen should get some confidence from this,

Yasir, despite next to nothing in terms of assistance from the surface, is bowling very tidily.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Nice to see vince on the back foot

 

[LowKiiSavage]

Pakistan fast bowlers are bowling at an angle hoping for the English to make a mistake. How about adding some yorkers, slower balls in the mix?

 

[MRSN]

if anyone needed proof of Misbah's poor captaincy should watch Yasir's fields set against Vince who is playing Yasir shah like he has no cllue.

That's because more than half of Root's runs have been scored at the comfort of his home. If he had played as many tests away continuously as Rahane did, he wouldn't be no 1

should bowl some short stuff to Root to test his back.

Pakistan have bowled very well today.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Can anyone give me a summary of how everyone is playing?

How is England batting?

How is Pakistan bowling?

 

[Hasan123]

Roots back is a worry long term

 

[90MPH]

Rahat needs to keep it outside off and let the batsman make a mistake.

There's no point experimenting at this stage.

 

[Adil_94]

what is this bowling strategy. we aren't even trying to get wickets

Bowling is okay but nothing really threatening and England are batting rather more easily now. Just trying to rotate strike and wait for the boundary balls.

Root back problem...
