England v Pakistan | 4th Test | The Oval | Aug 11-15, 2016 | Day 2

Yup!! figured this would happen . . Less than 400 all out . . We never learn
 
Target should be 150 from Younis, 50 from Sarfraz and 40 between Amir, Wahab and Sohail please.

Please no more wickets before close.
 
Okay, Sarfraz, play smart, don't do anything stupid. THose lucky fours got Misbah and Ifti overconfident.

They just needed to play smart and see the ball off. We're basically even at this point, but I have no idea what the ball is going to do in the second innings for England.
 
Lol what the hell. Everyday is exactly the same. Pakistan start well. By lunch they are in the drivers's seat. By EOD all the advantage has been thrown away.
 
Ridiculous selection. Rather should have played Rizwan. Even he could roll his arm for 2 overs
 
He averages 35 in Pakistani FC cricket, that would essentially mean that would average in single digits here !!

Plus he replacing 'Hafeez' toh yeah bhi hay na !!
 
Collapse started...:(

Hate this mental fragile attitude from our players.
 
And that is why I said Mohammad Rizwan, not Iftikhar.

If BBC TMS commentators can spot that Rizwan is a decent batsman after just watching him bat for the 1st time and that too during a partnership with Ifthikar who was scoring runs they singled out Rizwan in particular as a decent talent, if they could spot that just please please tell me why we selected Ifthikar?
 
Never do we do ourselves any favours. When evere we seem to be dominating we always mess up and give england a sniff bak into the game which they take with both hands and hit us hard where it hurts the most by winning the match!!!
 
What the hell was that? Must be thinking that he is Ponting.

Justifying what everyone said on here about him. Pathetic to say the least.
 
Among many mistakes, the biggest one for PAK in this Series was not playing 5th bowler. Basically caring couple of batsmen expecting them to score & depleting the attack. England having a deep batting line-up 'll every time hurt PAK once their attack is tiered. Rahat or Imran in this match for this guy Iftekhar & PAK could have won this match inside 4 days.
 
This is what you call looser mentality. They get close to Englands total but get's over excited as they do not know how to handle it.

Because he could bowl two overs (for 12)to the imaginary left-handed middle-order batsmen.
 
Double wicket overs always hurt us very bad...I hope it's not one of those over.
 
Misbah should have gone for A team players, like Babar this is absolutely rubbish :po:

Never mind Rizwan they were even better off selecting another bowler Imran or even Zulfi!!! This selection is incredibly Bizzare, Mickey needs to stand up! am sure he could have spotted from a mile how awful he would be
 
When I saw Iftikhar's nervous eyes when he dropped Cook yesterday I knew that he wasn't mentally strong enough for international cricket.

Mind you, I also knew that he is nothing like 25 years old, either.
