There is one solution to all of Pakistan cricket’s woes as we know it, one man to save us all:

He’s the hero Pakistan deserves, and the one it needs right now. But don’t bother hunting him. Because he is the whisperer in darkness.

Looks like young Saruman

Ever since YK and Misbah retired, Pakistani batting regressed. They were the glues in Test format.

Misbah all format coach and Rizwan all format captain.

No other option for Pakistan cricket team now .

 

[Farah Sohail]

Total clown, this Pak team is

 

[kron]

I can feel the pain of some person after seeing how Pakistan cricket is falling like deck of cards.

Proper humiliation.

i still feel head is overrated. jaissu at 22 already is better. if jaissu played for pakistan they would beat england.

 

[jnaveen1980]

I still don't understand how Rizwan gets away with that dangling bat approach.

 

[TheSultan]

I want some careers ended today.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Looks like young Saruman

One Misbah to bring them all and ,in the darkness, bind them

 

[Devadwal]

Rizwan played a maiden over which entire England team didn't.

He is very special ,take that . This is test cricket so respect the formats

 

[adi_62941]

Where is @Mamoon who was saying that we will win the series. Hahahaha

 

[Local.Dada]

One wicket stands between England win and a draw. Thats the post.

 

[FearlessRoar]

Babar Azam scored only 35 runs combined in both innings, whereas almost 1,400 runs were scored

 

[sweep_shot]

21 overs are left today. Most likely they will not get to bowl all the overs.

Statistician on Test Match Special

For the first time since the 1911-12 Ashes series, England have had two bowlers take a wicket with their first ball in the same innings.

 

[TheSultan]

One wicket stands between England win and a draw. Thats the post.

Nothing stands between them winning.

The only unknown is whether they win today or tomorrow

 

[Devadwal]

Definitely and its Pakistan best player - Rizwan .

 

[shaz619]

YK was special and Misbah was one of the best Test tailender type batsman I’ve ever seen

 

[kron]

Where is @Mamoon who was saying that we will win the series. Hahahaha

i still say pakistan wins 2 - 1
just pick domestic performers like dahani, mir hamza etc

 

[mominsaigol]

Ignore button check. Are you getting this post?

You're not on the ignore button . Atleast not on mine .

 

[jnaveen1980]

Nasser Hussai says "Pakistan definitely got the ball reversing" lol Does it matter now?

 

[shaz619]

Misbah all format coach and Rizwan all format captain.

No other option for Pakistan cricket team now .

Anyway, I wonder what Mr. Gillespie is thinking / feeling in all of this.

I bet he has aged like Wayne Rooney over the course of these 4 Tests or so in Pakistan

 

[jnaveen1980]

One thing is sure. Ball is coming gun barrell straight.

 

[Human786]

these 2 appear quite comfortable atm

 

[mominsaigol]

Anyway, I wonder what Mr. Gillespie is thinking / feeling in all of this.

He'd aged like ric Flair

 

[Mesozoic]

I'll say it again..Pakistan have not yet recovered from the hammering India gave them in Colombo last year. That mauling shattered all the self belief they had and burst all the delusional bubbles they and their fans were living in for some time.

Even Babar is yet to recover from that booming stump cleaning inswinger from Pandu that day.

It's all been downhill into the drainage since that day

 

[kron]

saud 200
rizwan 150

easy draw

 

[RidiculousMan]

For the next Test match. PCB should make the wicket a bit more flatter and make a rule that home team will only bat.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Anyway, I wonder what Mr. Gillespie is thinking / feeling in all of this.

Imagine the relief Mone Morkel must be having

It's hilarious to me that Indians have convinced themselves off this story.

 

[Devadwal]

saud 200
rizwan 150

easy draw

Saud 50(256)*
Rizwan 70( 313)*

 

[kron]

naseem shah should never ever play test cricket again.

 

[shaz619]

Imagine the relief Mone Morkel must be having

Morkel is feeling like what Mourinho felt when he left England and went to manage Roma in Italy

 

[RyanRyan10]

It's hilarious to me that Indians have convinced themselves off this story.

As an Indian, I disagree with him.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Saud Shakeel has better feet movement atleast on Pakistan pitches.

 

[Local.Dada]

Gilsepee has lived an entire lifetime in the last few months

 

[mominsaigol]

It's hilarious to me that Indians have convinced themselves off this story.

Indians have convinced themselves of everything. Majority of them should genuinely be banned. I'm dead serious.

 

[kron]

saud suckeel

You'd have to be as blind as a bat to not see the clear change in body language of your team pre and post that record breaking defeat.

 

[Human786]

OUT

 

[jnaveen1980]

Cracker of a delivery. Rizwan castled

 

[Devadwal]

Oh no Rizwan gone .haha

 

[jnaveen1980]

Absolutely no feet movement from Rizwan. Leaden footed.

 

[CerebralPatriot]

Tata bye bye Legwan. You and your tribe must be so happy with what you have done to Pakistan cricket

Roars like a lion vs Banglandesh, runs like a rat vs England.

 

[Rana]

Ooh baby baabay

 

[Local.Dada]

Gone. Now all the attention will come down to one guy

 

[aukhan]

Our bowlers are khassi.

Shaheen and Naseem are not good enough to be our Test bowlers.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Anyway, I wonder what Mr. Gillespie is thinking / feeling in all of this.

Poor Dizzy. He was forced to make all kinds of excuses last night for PCT performance.

I see an early exit with Misbah part of a committee reviewing his performance and the same committee recommending Misbah as head coach.

 

[kron]

ahhh man. out. this is ridiculous. where is the fight. hamzah sheeraz is out there knocking everyone dead and making pakistan proud. then you have these losers.

 

[CerebralPatriot]

Saifi would have easily scored 150+ runs here but our genius management went with this fool again

 

[Rana]

World class

3rd class

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Some real hit the deck bowling by Gus and Carse.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Pakistan can apply for "Run Loan" at the Root Bank, Brook Bank.

 

[Devadwal]

Absolutely no feet movement from Rizwan. Leaden footed.

Rizwan mind is not there ,he is thinking about captaincy .

I give him the benifit of doubt.

 

[kingusama92]

They refuse to change the team and then get surprised when this happens.

Proper humiliation and well deserved too.

 

[Local.Dada]

Is this a serious post or sarcasm?

 

[FearlessRoar]

It will be ugliest defeat to Pakistan in the history of Pakistan's Test cricket

 

[CerebralPatriot]

Sometimes cramp sometimes acting but always in the mastermind in every humiliation

 

[Josh]

Lol Pakistani batsmen in hurry to finish the match today itself

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

This is Pakistans official entry into minnow territory.
From now onwards Pakistan should be count ed as a minnow alongside Afg, Ban and Zim.

 

[James]

Post of the year

 

[castortroy]

The Pakistan collapse was inevitable but didn't think it would happen this quickly

 

[sweep_shot]

YK was special and Misbah was one of the best Test tailender type batsman I’ve ever seen

Misbah was good in Test. Scored the fastest Test century at that time (broken by McCullum later on).

Under Misbah, Pakistan were also #1 in Test for a brief period.

Again, just referring to Test. Not LOI.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Very idea of Pakistan batting first was to avoid 4th innings lol They sure are avoiding 4th innings of England.

 

[AAli98]

Rizwan mind is not there ,he is thinking about captaincy .

I give him the benifit of doubt.

Only solution make him all format captain ASAP & move cricket to UAE

They haven't lost the test yet

 

[Devadwal]

Definitely ,all the talk about flattest pitch and Pakistan team be like hold on abhi hum Jinda hai.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

It will be ugliest defeat to Pakistan in the history of Pakistan's Test cricket

That would've been true 2 months ago. After BD humiliation, thankfully no one can accuse PAK of that for this performance

 

[Rana]

All format crap

 

[CerebralPatriot]

[BouncerGuy]

i hope this test is over today. Cannot wait anymore

 

[mominsaigol]

I already predicted this a while back.

Straight up said 3-0 loss

 

[Local.Dada]

Instead of that UAE player Pak could have imported some of the Pak origin spinners from England or even Sikander Raza. 2 good spinners will give a different look to this Pakistan side

 

[RidiculousMan]

You'd have to be as blind as a bat to not see the clear change in body language of your team pre and post that record breaking defeat.

Keep believing in that story. Maybe it's for the best that we have differing narratives on this

 

[Rana]

Ya Allah thank you for this beautiful Test match

 

[sweep_shot]

Only solution make him all format captain ASAP & move cricket to UAE

Pakistan were undefeated in UAE for many years. I think only SL and NZ beat them in UAE.

UAE was like a fortress for Pakistan.

Anyway, playing in Pakistan is better. Home crowds deserve it.

Imran Tahir?

 

[Human786]

20 overs left ... what now ?

 

[CerebralPatriot]

@shah9425 hows the josh?

 

[kron]

not if they change team
drop non performers.
drop naseem
shaheen

bring on all domestic performers
nauman ali hamza and dahani.
