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

It won't. Unless it's a t20 which will be competitive, Pakistan will still beat USA in odi and test.

But it is a huge h8ge shame now, seeing that Pakistan is being compared to USA and it isn't a joke.

10 years ago I would have laughed at this post. Now I'm genuinely scared of a t20 series or heck even an odi or test series between these 2.

Who knows maybe pak sinks lower

Yeah I meant T20s. No future for ODIs and tests in the US . US is purely a T20 format team. Will be fun seeing Ali Khan facing against his former Pak teammates !

With that top 6 you will be 48/6 on 8 out 10 occasions. Usman Khan….seriously?

Fakhar is a proper white ball specialist. People usually point to Sehwag and Warner but what they forget is with attacking game, they also had a proper defense and read the game by picking bowlers and playing %cricket.

Rest I can see them being in scheme of things including Saud. Good player with decent temperament.

The cupboard is bare. We don't have options.

I don't buy the tiredness theory. Both teams fielded 150 overs. Not just Pakistan. There was this match st chepauk when the temperature was 40 degrees. India fielded for 150 plus overs. After 150 overs India batted. Sehwag thrashed steyn, Ntini scoring 319 in 309 balls. It is just the pressure more than weariness.

Shan - was a real bottle job today. As bad as it gets. He got 2 lives on this pitch and then got out.

Babar another bottler - but that’s become expected of him now. Sorry to all his fans. He’s finished. I can’t see a way back. 2023-2024 has been utter humiliation for him and there’s zero sign of improvement.

I see his paid up Twitter cheerleaders haven’t said a word today. He’s probably too down to instruct them.

I feel sorry for him, but it is all self inflicted.

Babar was done in 2022 when he finished with possibly the worst tournament for an opener of all time. I'm sure theirs one or 2 worse, because I saw a stat that due to his drop catch on 0 against NZ he managed to avoid coming dead last.

Praying that somehow Pakistan avoids an innings defeat.... would be so embarrassing to face such a defeat after scoring 500+ runs in the first innings.

 

[Mamoon]

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

This is the first Test in three, and so what if Pakistan don't win. Is the last series Pakistan will ever play?

Teams like England, Aus, SA, India should start experimenting their B teams against Pakistan in every international series.
Pakistan is a minnow now in Cricket.

A couple days ago I heard Salman Ali Agha say that one of the guys he gives credit to for his batting is Mohammad Yusuf. That he worked with him and understood him.

I don't believe many of our batters have really seriously ever worked or listened to Mohammad Yusuf. Few who did. Seem to be doing well. Salman is one of them as he says. And we saw that today. Where whole team blew up on new ball and Salman managed to tackle it well enough despite his limited talent as a batter.
