Pakistan (344 & 37/1) secure a historical win by 9 wickets against England (267 & 112) in the third Test match to win the series 2-1

[Kianig89]

Babar SSA etal should book a boobcruise trip, they will have plenty of time now

 

[PakPremi]

End of a miserable 2 games for Stokes. Woakes looks a better AR than him nowadays, at least he bowls

I predicted last test match replacing Woakes with Stokes was downgrade but he had to play as he is the captain.

 

[mominsaigol]

Stokes coming back to captain killed England.

He's a has been and 2022 wc should have been his final resting place for his international career.

To his credit he captains alot better then veggie boy Shan Masood but it doesn't matter.

If a captain does not warrant a spot in the playing 11 then don't bother. The era of breadley is over, that was a long long time ago amd cricket doesn't work that way anymore

 

[Ahmed216]

Fantastic bowling this full of guile and amazing skills

 

[imshally81]

Bowled Emm

 

[mango_bite77]

Don strikes, Another one gone

 

[Ahmed216]

Beautiful change of pace

 

[Nasty Naz]

Wooo Smith gone too! Just Root left to take.

 

[AAli98]

Safraz would have had at least 15 miss stumpings/dropped catches had he played this series.

 

[PakPremi]

Said it Jamie will not be able to play positive but this was ridiculous.

 

[mominsaigol]

Someone needs to make a thread titled as

Are sajid and Nouman the wasim Akram and waqar younis of this era.

Granted as spinners and not pacers.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Pathetic shots to get out. Jamie played 1 as well..

 

[mango_bite77]

Babar SSA etal should book a boobcruise trip, they will have plenty of time now

They were all doing fine till 2022 WC, focusing on winning matches for team. Their downfall started after they started considering themselves stars despite loosing semi final against Aus.

 

[batandballbattle]

Destroyer in the first is outta here!
At this rate we won't even have to bat for 10 overs

 

[Caved12]

Haha, looks like Smith thought he could pull off the same magic from the first innings! Unfortunately for him, things didn’t quite go according to plan this time around.

 

[mango_bite77]

Someone needs to make a thread titled as

No , never.

W's made it possible against the odds. Running on flat wickets and bowling with pace an accuracy, no one can be compared.

Saj and Nomi are good but pitch is also assisting them.

Like Ajmal & Abdul Rehman

 

[KingKhanWC]

Some things are worth waking up for

A rag tag Pakistan team baking more than cakes on a flat deck & ripping through bazball likes it’s a child’s playground strategy . Hilarious

 

[Amjid Javed]

Need to still get Root out here

 

[mominsaigol]

No , never.

I was kidding. I'm well aware waqar and wasim are an unmatched duo

 

[zn426]

Wooo Smith gone too! Just Root left to take.

It's still a test match where you have to take 20 wickets. I'm sure England thought they had the game in hand at 46-3 and 177-7 before the huge partnerships between Saud, Sajid, and Noman reverse-bazzed the English.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Lol stokes is awful.

We do need to get Jamie Smith out quickly to

Relax it’s over , not an Arsenal title challenge but once in a while Pakistan destruction

 

[Ahmed216]

Nomi bhai's mild wrinkled eyes.

Looking at them no one can say he's murdered England with bat and ball.

 

[Ahmed216]

Need to still get Root out here

U seem to be in hurry bhai. Got some important work to do?

 

[mango_bite77]

I was kidding. I'm well aware waqar and wasim are an unmatched duo

I am curious how would young bowlers like Zafar gohar, Umar Khan and Asghar perform if given supporting tracks, they surely are more skilled and talented than Nomi and Saj.

The mafia of flat wickets have destroyed too many careers unfortunately.

 

[mominsaigol]

Also just saying. People need to appreciate how good sajid and nouman have bowled.

Pakistan's batting is much weaker then England's batting and to top it off, Zahid mehmood has been rubbish as usual.

England spinners weren't all that great either.

This whole we prepared spin tracks finally is just a salty excuse. Yes we prepared spin tracks but it doesn't change the fact that these 2 are bowling terrificly.

Replace Nouman ans sajid with abrar and Zahid mehmood and you'd be in for another 3-0 whitewash

Respect to the 2 chacha's of cricket.

 

[Ahmed216]

Who told you say? They've bowled as good as anyone u'll ever see. So so clever.
These are not unplayable pitches Nomi and Saj both scored almost 50 yesterday

Yes they have bowled amazingly well. But I would always rate Zafar and Asghar higher. It is just they didn't get much chances at international level. Umer Khan, yes, looked pretty impressive in 1st PSL and then disappeared.

 

[imshally81]

Root gone

 

[mango_bite77]

And root goes, England's last hope

 

[Deewana Mastana]

6th 5 wicket haul for Nauman

What a delivery to get Root

 

[mominsaigol]

They would perform wonders. Every player from SNGPL is trash.

Be it Abdullah, Abrar or whatever.

Sajid should continue playing, he isn't that old and can play a good 5 years. Zafar gohar needs to be drafted in to replace Nouman chacha soon.

 

[Ahmed216]

England are stuck. Must be so difficult not being able to let their bazball instincts out

 

[BouncerGuy]

Noman has the fifer now. root departs

 

[followed]

Nauman chacha really should have played more test cricket. He is very good and he can actually turn the ball.

He is better than Sajid tinda even though tinda has done well but Nauman chacha can bowl a tight line.

 

[SpiritOf1903]

That's all she wrote!

Should've been an innings victory

 

[G0rmintAunty]

Whattay ball.

 

[Ahmed216]

DECIMATION

 

[Nasty Naz]

And there goes Root and there is Nauman getting his 5fer. What a spell from Nauman.

 

[mominsaigol]

They not.

Umar Khan and ashgahr are not better then nouman, zafar gohar 100% is.

But sajid Khan is better then safari atm.

Nouman and sajid perfectly compliment each other though

 

[shah_1]

Well done

Match won

 

[followed]

Nauman chacha remember the name. He is almost unplayable in the 4th innings.
Shabba chacha.

 

[Devadwal]

Root is uprooted.

No highway no party for root.

 

[mango_bite77]

Umar Khan and ashgahr are not better then nouman, zafar gohar 100% is.

But sajid Khan is better then safari atm.

Nouman and sajid perfectly compliment each other though

Agree on Umer, but disagree on Asghar, poor lad didn't get any chance.

 

[batandballbattle]

Beauty. The only one today where the batsman hasn't thrown it away.
Indians can sit pretty for a while longer, Tendu's record isn't in danger

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

I wonder what Nauman's record in the second innings is because he has given some seriously impactful performances. Besides in his performance in this match and the last, he also took a 7-fer in Sri Lanka to complete Pakistan;s series sweep last year.

 

[PakPremi]

Umar Khan and ashgahr are not better then nouman, zafar gohar 100% is.

But sajid Khan is better then safari atm.

Nouman and sajid perfectly compliment each other though

Zafar is as over rated as Haris the wicket keeper batsman is.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Azhar Mahmood’s clip of there being no spinners in Pakistan should go down in meme history. It’s one thing for us fans to write the most absurd stuff, but for a team management personnel to say such drivel just speaks volumes of the mindset they were in before Aqib took over.

Master-stroke by Aqib and full credit to him for this series win. Noman and Sajid were inspired selections and they deserve every bit of accolades.

 

[mango_bite77]

Root is uprooted.

No highway no party for root.

That little happiness, but not sustainable.

 

[mominsaigol]

I don't vet it? How can a player who has 405 fc wickets not be our mainstream spinner? Why did he make his debut in 2021 at the age of 35? And why wasn't he a regular?

Nouman chacha has been terrific anytime he's played international cricket?

He'd be the perfect replacement for yasir Shah in test? Shpuld have been drafted a long time ago?

Pathetic from pcb, parchi system.

 

[Ahmed216]

What a catch that was to dismiss root. Big deflection

 

[PakPremi]

England will not Play any test in Asia for 2 year after this test.

Dont underestimate England ability to produce Flat pitch at home .

 

[mango_bite77]

He's been good. Give credit where due. However still crap in batting.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Aamer Sohail is starting to get into his Athar Ali Khan level of arrogance mode.

 

[sindhiboy]

Wow, England are awful vs spin. Jamie Smith has thrown away his wicket in both tests, has been a victim of reckless bazball.

 

[mango_bite77]

England will not Play any test in Asia for 2 year after this test.

Dont underestimate England ability to produce Flat pitch at home .

Yes Eng produces flat wickets, that's why India hasn't won series in England since eternity.

 

[Ahmed216]

Huge lessons for Gillespie the coach

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

This is starting to feel very reminiscent of Ajmal and Rehman running through No. 1 ranked England in Abu Dhabi

 

[Devadwal]

India has done more than any others team did away from home .

Yes Eng produces flat wickets, that's why India hasn't won series in England since eternity.

 

[batandballbattle]

Also ain't getting any younger. Plus Tendu's total is closer to 16k than it is to 15k. He'll finish no higher than second in the all time list

 

[sindhiboy]

Atleast Noman got a chance. Kashif Bhatti has been taking truckloads of wickets for years and never got a call up.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Also ain't getting any younger. Plus Tendu's total is closer to 16k than it is to 15k. He'll finish no higher than second in the all time list

He has to cross it with a decent average too. A couple of tough series and that average could go back below 50

 

[mango_bite77]

India has done more than any others team did away from home .

England, read it again. Let's discuss NZ and SA on some other thread.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

The tough questions have to be asked now.

2nd Test loss in NZ.
Drawn home Ashes
4-1 loss in India
Home Test loss vs SL
2-1 loss to PAK in PAK

McCullum has nowhere to hide

 

[Devadwal]

He has to cross it with a decent average too. A couple of tough series and that average could go back below 50

Australia tour is coming in next year if he performed badly then its can be end of his career.

Australia tours were end a lot of England players career .

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Shan needs to understand when to give these 2 a rest too.

Sajid is being easily taken for a few every over so why not try a new bowler.

 

[mominsaigol]

Atleast Noman got a chance. Kashif Bhatti has been taking truckloads of wickets for years and never got a call up.

But like bro, it doesn't make any sense?

Players like Abdullah weren't just called up in test but we're taken to an odi world cup as Priemere opener for pakistan based of 7 List A games and 10 Fc games? And in those said list A and fc games, Abdullah wasn't anything special?

Yet actual proven performers like saud, Kamran, Nouman chacha etc had to wait years?

Doesn't make any sense. For saud, I understand as even in domestic he was weak ahainst pace so maybe pcb were hesitant, Same arguments can be made for KG.

On what basis is a 405 wicket taking spinner kept out for so long and isn't a regular

 

[Amjid Javed]

Need to polish inns off here and not let England's tail wag

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Oh well Sajid has cleaned up Atkinson's stumps

97-8

 

[Nasty Naz]

Sajid gets Atkinson! The end is near.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

PAK spinners have varied their pace much better.

42% deliveries below 79 kph compared to 2.5 % for England .

PAK spinners took 8 wickets while bowling below 79 kph mark.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Another for Sajid, well bowled

 

[mango_bite77]

PAK spinners have varied their pace much better.

42% deliveries below 79 kph compared to 2.5 % for England .

That's experience which is equally important as skills.

 

[Human786]

impressive comeback with bat & then ball from 177/7 yesterday ...

 

[Nikhil_cric]

That's experience which is equally important as skills.

It's a skill in itself to entice batsmen with slow, loopy spin on very slow pitches.

 

[Ahmed216]

@Devadwal told you after 2nd game toss didn't play much of a role. 150 run loss is huge in a low scoring game.

You were hoping for England to win this toss game.

 

[batandballbattle]

Cleaned 'im up. Not too much longer to go now. They'll be finished in time for tea and biscuits in Jinnah park

 

[BouncerGuy]

Leach is playing some shots now. He knows that ducking the ball is not gonna work
