And then they say: Pace iz nawt imporatnt

Well, it is. You are taken advantage off, as batsman can out maneuver your swing just like England has done in this match. Pace ensures batsman stays back in crease

Bhaijaan pace is important you need to be atleast 140 kph rro be effective in all conditions plus skills asif had height for the lack of his speed can't say the same for this lot.
 
We were told that Botham is biased to suggest that England could get a lead close to 200.

Match was over before Hasan dropped Buttler, we were out of the game when we were reduced to 90/7.

However, we can look up back at the drop catch as a key moment to feel good about ourselves.

No we dont. There are many other feel good factors we can take from the series.
 
Didnt the guys get enough sleep? It's early in the morning, and they are bowling around 80mph. Where is the pace? And the effort? Very sad
 
Some feeble bouncers being bowled here, I think I could put one in with more zip than that one.
 
Buttler is the sort of player every team should have at number 7 in Test matches. Takes the game away at a rapid rate. Wouldn't be surprised if he makes a century here.
 
Hope England makes 500. Then it will truly show what kind of mockery this attack has been. Azhar mehmood has never been a aggressive bowler, and he can never be an aggressive coach
 
What a catch. Broad falls for the trap lol. What a decline he has had as a batsmen.

Buttler is 27 and is just starting to become a regular in test team. AB was a regular in all formats at this age.

Don't see Buttler playing some of the knocks AB did in tests.

Buttler is talented as de Villiers.

I find it hilarious how someone can be so negative towards his own team yet so hyperbolic about opposition players.

You give some of the most jingoistic PAK fans a run for their money with some of these sensationalised posts.
 
Ah buttler spanking them now. Bad captaincy and a lack of Amir doesn't help.
 
Usman making sure to advertise the standards of our domestic cricket

Dont you know how good the ENG team is. Do you know their record vs in last 12 tests or so.

How many they won vs us?
 
When PSL could do wonders for our cricket, why can't IPL do the same for others? Our pakistani brethren making sure to not think critically

He has been held back by ECB’s conservatism. He should have been a mainstay in all formats by now, you have to give long ropes to talents like him because they will come good.

There was no point in wasting time with the likes of Ballance, Vince, Malan etc. who will never be as good as Buttler.
 
PPers who don’t follow the IPL, that’s how Buttler bats in the IPL :))
 
Remember, there are limited overs for Butler in 50 over match. He could very well bat throughout this session ;)
 
You just know when pak bat they will get out exactly the same way.

Iman will probably be lbw. Azhar, squared up or falling over to the lbw. Asad poking the bat outside off, same goes for sohail. Sarfraz late cutting straight to slips. All so predictable
 
Within one hour he's changed the entire game. That's why it's good to have someone like this in the side.

He wasn't playing red ball cricket so what basis could they select him on ? I would have have had him in the test team but can't just blame it all on the ECB.

Buttler is 27 and AB had already scored a double hundred in UAE at that point if you are talking about test cricket. At 27 De Villiers was far ahead of Buttler as a test batsman.
