Pakistan battle to save an innings defeat against England as they reach 152/6 at stumps on Day 4 of the first Test

[sweep_shot]

20 overs left ... what now ?

Don't think they will get all the overs in.

I think they may get 15 overs maximum.

 

[Rana]

Dosto maza aaya phir?

Pakistan fans in jhoom barabar jhoom again

 

[Devadwal]

20 overs left ... what now ?

Saud and agha will take Pakistan safely .no worries.

 

[mominsaigol]

Ya Allah thank you for this beautiful Test match

This match is just a repeat of bamgaldesh except much much worse.

3-0 bashing.

Pak is mentally finished now that they know even a 500 can't win them a game.

Oh and Shan is defo gone. Babar under fire.

As for rizwan, leech will stick around sadly

 

[RidiculousMan]

Here's a trick question for all Pakistan Cricket fans.

How flat is the pitch right now?

 

[Rana]

@shah9425 hows the josh?

Yah tou win hai ya…. Hai

 

[jnaveen1980]

Saud shakeel is so far just reacting to the ball. May be that is why he looks reasonably comfortable. Given the nature of the surface that is all you have to do.

 

[mominsaigol]

Here's a trick question for all Pakistan Cricket fans.

How flat is the pitch right now?

Minefield

 

[FearlessRoar]

Pakistan needs to go back to the UAE for Test cricket.

 

[Rana]

Where are the people who demanded Rizwan to be captain based on runs against Bangladesh??????

 

[Asif321]

I think
Shan, Shafique, Babar , Saim , Rizwan, Shaheen, Abrar all need to be excluded from coming 2 tests

 

[sweep_shot]

Abrar is in hospital apparently. Will he be able to bat?

 

[RidiculousMan]

Pakistan needs to go back to the UAE for Test cricket.

That alone won't do it. Problem is much bigger and it is much bigger than just pitch.

 

[karthikc]

After this match I watch YouTube video of Wahid khan, Tanveer Ahmed and wasay in this order

 

[Rana]

Saud soft runs Kar puttar save your vice captaincy

 

[mominsaigol]

Where are the people who demanded Rizwan to be captain based on runs against Bangladesh??????

Have some respect, He's the best chawal of Pakistan. Goat keeper.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Abrar is in hospital apparently. Will he be able to bat?

They should allow the team to bring in Noman. Noman can hold one end for sure

 

[Devadwal]

Here's a trick question for all Pakistan Cricket fans.

How flat is the pitch right now?

Ohh this Question is only for pakistan fans .

 

[jnaveen1980]

Pathum Nissanka bossed their attack in their own den with authority. So did Kamindu.

 

[castortroy]

Afridi has been finished as a bowler for a while now.

His career is going down the Hasan Ali route

 

[aukhan]

The PTI dharna is in Multan tomorrow. It would be better for the English team to finish the game today and stay in their hotel rooms.

 

[RidiculousMan]

After this match I watch YouTube video of Wahid khan, Tanveer Ahmed and wasay in this order

Tanveer might blast to Mars today

 

[mominsaigol]

Saud will also fall, SNGPL always catches up.

 

[FearlessRoar]

Dosto maza aaya phir?

Pakistan fans in jhoom barabar jhoom again

Never thought I'd see such lows in Pakistan cricket

 

[Savak]

What we are seeing is a mental implosion. This is what happens when you have been on the field for two days where the opposition has scored 800 runs plus.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

England need only 4 wickets (assuming Abrar doesn't bat)

Pitch looking fine now eh?

 

[sweep_shot]

Saud averages 58 with the bat. Impressive.

 

[Mohraheem]

Misbah last night called bunch of players and told them game plan… look at the result Misbah destroying Pakistan cricket once again. No one will say anything… corruption at its best by Misbah. Changing player player mind set so they under perform and Misbah son entry to the international could be easy! PCB should banned Misbah.

 

[FlickedOffHips]

Pakistan need to be relegated

 

[RidiculousMan]

What we are seeing is a mental implosion. This is what happens when you have been on the field for two days where the opposition has scored 800 runs plus.

England were also in the field for two days.

PCB should postponed International Cricket for Pakistan. At least until Mr Chairman can supposedly fix the team with a "surgery".

 

[kron]

ah chappal tea. need some of that right now

 

[RidiculousMan]

Pakistan need to be relegated

I think a year of international break might do good. Have some Champions Cup in between and have another winter PSL.

 

[Human786]

hope some1 in PCB wakes up & tells the nalayak curator to stop watering the strip for 2nd Test as soon as this 1 ends ! Do not want to see 1379/17 in 1st innings again !!!

 

[jnaveen1980]

What we are seeing is a mental implosion. This is what happens when you have been on the field for two days where the opposition has scored 800 runs plus.

But actually they fielded only for 150 overs. England was also on the field for 149 overs. Both batted the same number of overs. Just that England had 267 runs more.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Abrar is in hospital apparently. Will he be able to bat?

What difference will it make.???

 

[Devadwal]

England need only 4 wickets (assuming Abrar doesn't bat)

Pitch looking fine now eh?

How will Pakistan recover From this humiliating defeat ?

I don't see any ray of hope for them .

 

[RyanRyan10]

Pakistan need to be relegated

To where? There's no division in test cricket unlike odis

 

[FearlessRoar]

Abrar is in hospital apparently. Will he be able to bat?

No

 

[RidiculousMan]

hope some1 in PCB wakes up & tells the nalayak curator to stop watering the strip for 2nd Test as soon as this 1 ends ! Do not want to see 1379/17 in 1st innings again !!!

Will this pitch receive demerit point? After all Pakistan balanced the runs to wickets ratio in their 2nd innings.

5D move by team Pakistan to save Multan from getting demerit point.

 

[kron]

i have had enough. effing make turning pitchs with bounce.
bring the bowlers into it. dont be scared to bad on those. who cares
just go for it.
home condition should favour pakistan.

 

[RidiculousMan]

To where? There's no division in test cricket unlike odis

PSL and Champions Cup all year long. Only Pakistan will win in that

 

[aukhan]

What we are seeing is a mental implosion. This is what happens when you have been on the field for two days where the opposition has scored 800 runs plus.

This happens to our batsmen every time after the bowling is thrashed by the opposing team.

 

[James]

What we are seeing is a mental implosion. This is what happens when you have been on the field for two days where the opposition has scored 800 runs plus.

Yep, exactly.

 

[Cric_lover4487]

Is Pakistan collapsing under pressure of not losing or wicket suddenly turned into a minefield? 64/5. Hardly any unplayable delivery in 3 days and now suddenly batsmen are getting bowled.

 

[Nabeel23]

Is Kamran Ghulam in the squad? he defo needs to included in the next game over Babar, get Saim out of the squad too and induct another opener in, that was a horrible shot.

 

[karthikc]

Where are the Pakistan class spinners??? The land of Saqlain and Qadir/Mushtaq is not able to get a decent spinner is concerning

 

[mominsaigol]

Is Kamran Ghulam in the squad? he defo needs to included in the next game over Babar, get Saim out of the squad too and induct another opener in, that was a horrible shot.

Naw he is not

 

[James]

Abrar is in hospital apparently. Will he be able to bat?

Bat from hospital?

 

[kingusama92]

Abrar is in hospital apparently. Will he be able to bat?

Doubt it.

PAK is essentially 67/6 right now.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Is Kamran Ghulam in the squad? he defo needs to included in the next game over Babar, get Saim out of the squad too and induct another opener in, that was a horrible shot.

Why ruin Kamran Ghulam in current setup. But then again question is. How long will current setup run the PCB.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

How will Pakistan recover From this humiliating defeat ?

I don't see any ray of hope for them .

No hope at all.

 

[sweep_shot]

No

That sucks.

So, Pakistan are 67/6 now effectively.

Doubt it.

PAK is essentially 67/6 right now.

Hmm.

 

[kron]

e

Yep, exactly.

england should have tried to break the record. record that was set by lanka. most runs in an innings i think
fatigue matters
thats why abdullah fatigue got smashed.

 

[FearlessRoar]

When you don't have consistency in PCB management, how can you expect good performance from players?

 

[kron]

cant believe they are making this mediocre care look good.

 

[sweep_shot]

Bat from hospital?

I meant would he be able to get discharged from hospital and come on to bat?

Seems like his injury is serious. So, not possible.

 

[SpiritOf1903]

This is a while new low.

-200 - 6?!

 

[FearlessRoar]

How will Pakistan recover From this humiliating defeat ?

I don't see any ray of hope for them .

How many more humiliations must we endure before asking: how can we recover?

 

[James]

Carse bowling a fantastic spell.

 

[Devadwal]

When you don't have consistency in PCB management, how can you expect good performance from players?

Everything is not PCB fault. Theses players are mental midget and little of pressure they become sissy.

 

[kron]

saffer import carse looking good on two faced pitch.

 

[kron]

ah stroke by saudi
stroke might give atkinson a stroke

 

[mominsaigol]

Everything is not PCB fault. Theses players are mental midget and little of pressure they become sissy.

But but but Rizwan is the best player of pak

 

[kron]

saud classy like klassen

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Pak is a threat to test cricket.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Pakistan needs more like Saud Shakeel in home conditions. Shows good temperament. I know it is a flat road. But you still need certain amount of disicipline to bat long. Also he moves the feet better than others.

 

[Human786]

17 overs left for the day ....

 

[jnaveen1980]

ONe of the biggest problem for Pakistan has been lack of new ball blunting.

 

[FearlessRoar]

6 Pakistani bowlers conceded 100 runs each!

That is 1 more than the number of centuries scored in this Test!

 

[Vikram1989]

Are pak loosing purposefully to save the multan pitch from poor rating

 

[Hellion]

Too much to expect PAK fast bowlers to match Carsey and Gus. Bottle tops and Murray mints for Shaheen and Naseem, please

Make PAK phasht bowling great again !

 

[mominsaigol]

But apprantly rizzu is king of Pakistan according to same said experts. Rubbish cricketers. Should have listened to me

 

[Nabeel23]

They need to heavily invest in a sports psychologist, this collapse is more to do with the mindset rather than skills. We have been seeing this time and time again over the last few years.

 

[Human786]

Saud is playing well ....76/5

 

[karthikc]

They need to heavily invest in a sports psychologist, this collapse is more to do with the mindset rather than skills. We have been seeing this time and time again over the last few years.

I mean there are so many things to fix...but top 2 are selecting on.merit and making fitness and fielding standards more serious

 

[Human786]

are you a subscriber to the club that thinks PAK is overflowing with cricketing talent ?

 

[FearlessRoar]

No team in the history of Test cricket has lost by an innings after scoring 500 or more in their first innings... could Pakistan be about to be the first here?

 

[Human786]

Salman does not want to score ...

 

[Ahmed216]

What we are seeing is a mental implosion. This is what happens when you have been on the field for two days where the opposition has scored 800 runs plus.

That is how Pak been operating for last few years. Losing to BD has sapped them of whatever little confidence there was left

 

[Blackbradman]

Naseem and Shaheen should stop playing T20 for atleast a year and focus only on Red ball cricket or giveup test cricket completely and focus on white ball cricket. They seriously lack patience, planning. penetration required for a test match bowler.
