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

[Rana]

ITS ON!

 

[mominsaigol]

ITS ON!

Bazzball galore

 

[Devadwal]

will ENG declare at 700 ?

Not before 200+ runs lead.

 

[adi_62941]

38/0 in 8 overs ... wonder when will PCB realize Agha is not a credible 5th bowling option .

He is just a non serious always smiling guy. He is getting free runs. He will be exposed soon when he bats in good pitches.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

@Nikhil_cric was spot on yesterday.

Predicted pak can't play once 100 overs passed. You can tell based on their crap fielding

Yeah. England themselves are not particularly great at it.

That's why flat pitches are double edged swords , it comes down to an old fashioned attritional battle with endurance and fitness being challenged even more than your skills alone.

Currently , only India and Australia can play that brand successfully. Other teams are not as good.

 

[Protea Fan]

Double century at srilanka

Double century at india

Double century at pakistan

Joeseph Edward Root for you

 

[Rana]

Masood coward put all your fielders on the boundary now

 

[Human786]

547/3 ... 80 overs left for the day

 

[Ahmed216]

When they scored 556 I knew they were 200 runs short

England are still fitter but yes, I saw them staggering when they were bowling. It's just pak is rubbish as usual giving them wickets

 

[Cric_lover4487]

Root should ask ECB for a Pak tour every year. He can score 800 runs in 3 matches here.

 

[Croma]

England trail by 5 runs. with 78 overs left in the day

 

[Devadwal]

Jamal 5 rums shorts of century and shaheen 4 runs short.

Naseem and abrar already completed the century

 

[Rana]

Scores level

Time for boom bang bang

 

[Human786]

scores level - 78 overs left

 

[Rana]

50 overs more batting

300 runs at least

 

[JattMaula]

Scores level

Time for boom bang bang

Every run counts double now.

I predict a 40 over 250 run dash by England.

 

[mominsaigol]

Lead gone

 

[Croma]

556-3 Scores equalled

 

[Devadwal]

England takes 36 less overs to level pakistan total .

 

[Human786]

He is just a non serious always smiling guy. He is getting free runs. He will be exposed soon when he bats in good pitches.

they will never get 20 wickets with just 4 mediocre bowling options !!!

 

[Human786]

PAK on ropes after batting 149 overs in 1st innings of a home Test .... forfeit the TEST & dig up all your grounds PCB !!!

 

[shah_1]

Loving this phianty

We are a worse team than West Indies

 

[Energy]

A defeat, one hour before close of play on the 5th day is coming up for Pakistan. They won't be able to bat 100 overs defending.

Embarrassing, 15-session torture of a game, painful, donkey-esque home moment incoming.

 

[Energy]

Suddenly there will be turn, low bounce, seamless seam. It will appear magically later today and tomorrow.

 

[shah_1]

Our cricket is dead

 

[Human786]

bowling darts a foot outside leg stump & still getting hammered ...

 

[Devadwal]

Rizwan drama Queen. Lol

 

[sindhiboy]

Lol Rizwan

 

[Nikhil_cric]

When they scored 556 I knew they were 200 runs short

C'mon, when you have better hit the deck bowlers than they do, this should not even have crossed your mind

 

[Human786]

I remember Akram saying before WC we have the best pace bowling attack in the World ...

 

[JattMaula]

Rizzwan is always in high spirits. Good for team morale.

 

[Katwalindian]

Root should ask ECB for a Pak tour every year. He can score 800 runs in 3 matches here.

He didn't performed in 2022 tour, currently even if you gives him minifield he will perform, he is in form of his life.

 

[Katwalindian]

Get them before 700

 

[Human786]

Get them before 700

why ?

 

[mominsaigol]

Root het that 300, Sachin couldn't

 

[Human786]

325 run partnership ...

 

[Hellion]

Root het that 300, Sachin couldn't

If only Tendulkar got to face Pakistani bowlers who weren't allowed to tamper....

 

[deep82]

Naseem 100
Shaheen 100
Jamal 100
Abrar 100
Agha 100 loading

 

[Aang_The_last_airbender]

4 quick fire centuries by Pakistani bowlers

 

[Josh]

Virat Kohli should plead with BCCI for 5 match test series against Pakistan in Pakistan

 

[Aang_The_last_airbender]

Root het that 300, Sachin couldn't

Root is on path of true greatness, If he maintains this form for another 3 years. He should scale 16k.

 

[Aang_The_last_airbender]

Virat Kohli should plead with BCCI for 5 match test series against Pakistan in Pakistan

Imagine Jaiswal on these highways

 

[Human786]

96/0 in 18 overs today ....

 

[Croma]

If you were the Engalnd team strategist, what would be your declaration plan?

My plan would be to bat as fast as possible and declare 10 overs before tea

 

[AAli98]

Thief Naqvi/Naqli should ask ICC to revoke paks cricketing licence for 10/15 years..
No bowlers no batsman no pitches.

SA had a 20 year ban worked on there domestic & came back strong.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Forget about Kohli and Ssaching in this thread. Talk about this game. Can you???

 

[Aang_The_last_airbender]

If you were the Engalnd team strategist, what would be your declaration plan?

My plan would be to bat as fast as possible and declare 10 overs before tea

Give Root an opportunity to reach 400, such chances comes super super rare and are immortal.
Declaration can wait.

 

[mominsaigol]

Can I ask why Shan Masood our educated captain can't figure out to place fielders at the back?

England are smashing it? Have the courage

 

[Unleashed]

They should look to break Lanka's record.

 

[mominsaigol]

Most phatta captain I've ever seen. Utter disgrace to the game

 

[Hellion]

Rameez Raja questioning the flatness of the pitch. Irony died a thousand deaths

 

[AAli98]

Root will break yousafs 1788 calendar runs record in this game.

 

[JattMaula]

Rameez Raja questioning the flatness of the pitch. Irony died a thousand deaths

Gawd damn. Have some shame Rambo. You yourself killed test cricket in Pakistan.

 

[mominsaigol]

Ramiz raja is the biggest hypocrite I've ever seen.

I just realised Shan masood is the modern era ramiz raja. Both farigh

 

[Hellion]

Gawd damn. Have some shame Rambo. You yourself killed test cricket in Pakistan.

Gower just called him out on it. Rambo struggling to give an answer.

 

[Hellion]

Salman wided for negative bowling. Dharmasena finally living up to his name .

 

[BouncerGuy]

Agha salman bowling wides... LOL

 

[Human786]

605/3 in 121 overs - how bad the pitch & bowling is ....

 

[Amjid Javed]

Inns defeat on its way for pakistan

 

[Human786]

605/3 in 121 overs - how bad the pitch & bowling is ....

either PAK should stop playing Home Tests or hold them in SL or UAE ...

 

[shortbread]

Ramiz raja is the biggest hypocrite I've ever seen.

I just realised Shan masood is the modern era ramiz raja. Both farigh

The man has zero shame!

 

[Human786]

Masood looks like he ate a rat ...606/3 .

 

[Devadwal]

Forget about Kohli and Ssaching in this thread. Talk about this game. Can you???

Yup . every thread a certain poster bring Sachin & virat name from nowhere .

 

[Aang_The_last_airbender]

Agha salman bowling wides... LOL

Racing towards his Test century

 

[Red-Indian]

Inns defeat on its way for pakistan

This has gotten truly absurd. If England manages a 250 run lead as is looking likely now, they would've made 800 runs at 5 an over.

This really can't be called cricket. It should be banned under the Geneva convention for cruel and unusual punishment towards bowlers.

 

[Aang_The_last_airbender]

Nasser Hussain trolling Rameez .... declare at 1000

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

From once having one of the best bowling attacks in world cricket to now having THE worst bowling attack in world cricket. What a fall from grace.

 

[Josh]

After this innings Shaheen will realise how important rest is for fast bowlers. Already in 26th over ..might have to bowl 35+ overs in total

 

[RidiculousMan]

Have we ever had two triple centuries in Cricketing history together?

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

Pretty sure this pitch is made of cement.

As soon as I saw Shan playing fluently I knew it's a road.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

This is Root's best opportunity to hit a triple ton. I can't imagine any other country in the world these days where he would get an opportunity to do so.

 

[Asif321]

Is it possible to stop the test match ?

 

[RidiculousMan]

Nasser Hussain trolling Rameez .... declare at 1000

If I'm England I'm going for 1000. That will damage Pakistan Cricket more than a win here even. And they might win as well because all it will take is 2-3 sessions for Pakistan collapse. Just wait.

 

[Human786]

Rameez Raja questioning the flatness of the pitch. Irony died a thousand deaths

He is shameless .

 

[RidiculousMan]

Is it possible to stop the test match ?

Boom! Iykwim

Mr. Chairman cum Interior Minister can probably arrange that with his connections

 

[Hellion]

Terrific effort from England despite losing the toss. Granted this is the worst bowling attack in the world but it's still impressive.

 

[mominsaigol]

Nasser Hussain trolling Rameez .... declare at 1000

How is that a troll? It's a very real possibility, Why not break the record?

1000 for the first time

2 triple centuries in a test

Highest partnership ever

 

[Asif321]

This is embarrassing. Medals need to be rolled out for people who watched this for 4 days

 

[Rajdeep]

Jimmy Anderson still in the Eng squad?
