Still can't bat. Been relying on the tail to save the batsmen for a long time and when they don't score this happens.

To be fair though, it's been quality bowling. Only Haddin deserves a bagging because he is a grade a idiot. To think they recalled this clown and promoted him to vice captain.
 
why did they put Hughes down there? I can't think of any other reason bar facing the second new ball, but the aussies don't get beyond the first these days either :yk
 
Vaughan on bbc tms :"Anderson worked so hard on the ball. People say it's tampering but that's absolute nonsense, it's a skill to get the ball in that condition and then to bowl it in the right places. This is bowling of the highest quality in any generation we've seen."

come on Englishmen lets get Pakistan into top 4!

claim down
we will be in To-4 very soon
Plus even we drawn 0-0 V SA Later this year
we will get 2 or 3 Point :)

our Chance for Test championship are more compare to Aussies chance for test championship
 
Cook will smash Century later day
England will give 450 Target
Aussies bowled out 250
 
ENG will crush AUS in every test match. AUS batting is looking like PAK batting without their big guns. Only Clarke, watson and haddin seems to be the players of test level as others cannot even play a 50 balls to get themselves in a test match. hope ENG win
 
I wouldn't mind if Finn was 5-7mph slower but bowling consistently the right length and line. He is all over the place

Pakistan bating is better

atleast we have Younis khan,Misbah.Azhar.Asad in Middle order our test bating line up is better compare to Aussies test bating line up

Watson and Haddin are test level players? :))) both hacks.
 
Aus will Tour UAE in 2014/15

Pakistan Test championship place is confirm
 
tweet from PP's very own Shayan...

I wish we had more than two bowlers. Seriously. Finn... come on lad.
 
What has happend to Finn? Seems quite rubbish to be honest.
 
Great to see a 19 year old kid playing so freely on debut in what can easily be called the biggest stage for an Aussie cricketer. I don't care how he fares with the ball straight up ...Aussies need to invest in such players for the long term. If they have even a modicum of talent, they'll maximise it given time.
 
what the hell is Cook doing? why not bring in Anderson to get just the one wicket remaining?
 
It'll be a pity if somehow Hughes gets out, and leave this exciting young lad stranded on his debut.
 
England shouldn't mind this partnership much. A wicket will come sooner or later. But they have ensured that they get to bat when the pitch is at its best for batting.
 
Get Bresnan and Onions back please. Finn really needs a couple more year in domestic cricket to learn more about his bowling. It is all instinct and zero thought right now. He cannot bowl dry to save his life.:facepalm:
 
Aussies will never lose that fighting spirit... as I write Agar smokes fin for yet another :four
 
would be funny if agaaar score most runs.. what would odd have been on that.. maybe 500.....lol
 
will you believe it, a 10th wicket partnership is now the highest partnership of the match :facepalm:
 
C'mon Aussies. Fifty on the cards for Agar
 
You sort of get disappointed when Hughes gets the strike.
 
lol England.. what are their doing???? just bowl off stump and full let them leave and keep the pressure..
 
Trailing by just 28 now what a turnaround. Topsy-turvy Test thus far. Great to watch. Cmon Agar!
 
That last inning that Hughes played in India seems to have helped him gain his confidence back.

In the meantime, Agarbatti has been brilliant.
