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

[mominsaigol]

I will only keep one batsman from India in top 10, its not about India, the world has produced many greats, lol at calling Root second best.

Alright. This is actually a fair analysis and a sensible point. Regardless root played well and is the best test batter of this era now that steve smith had mellowed down

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

Pointless test match, hope pcb prepares something spicy for next two games.

The main motivation behind this was to get Babar to score again, but that didn’t happen.

 

[bones]

Bangladesh and Pakistan both need to be stripped of test match status


Pathetic

Pakistan first.

 

[Human786]

Is 1000 possible?

is 2000 possible

 

[Hellion]

Only 2 sixes from Bazball? Jaiswal should teach these guys how to play real aggressive cricket.

 

[AAli98]

I remember a Indian getting 300 never played again after that innings.. is sub continent test cricket a joke?

 

[Hellion]

Stadium DJ trolling PAK bowlers by playing "Dream On"

 

[Human786]

15 run over ... 173 ahead

 

[mominsaigol]

No they must be from Karachi, which you had considered a "cricket nation" few months back

Karachi and Lahore produce the best players from Pakistan as they are they are the most developed cities of Pakistan.

However all that goes to hell when classy batters like saud shakeel join SNGPL which is essentially a Misbah den.

Usman Khan is the only hope I have left now tbh because I don't think he'll ever join or ever get picked by Misbah.

As for Shan, Shan is only Karachi origin, He lacks the grit and determination. He never went through a system but instead got everything handed to him on a platter and his mediocrity shows. It took England one innings to Shove Shan masood's innings into the trash bin.

Sarfaraz was the last remnant and was truly the dilon ka Kaptaan. This Shan boy is literally weeping tears live atm, he's no different from Babar who wept live.

That's the issue, Babar azam is mighty talented but is a softie. Shan has karachi heritage but beyond that nothing, Saud became a softie as soon as he went to Misbah school.

That 200 ain't ever happening again.

 

[Hellion]

Yeah. When you are getting smashed like minnows, pull India into the discussion and dilute it by calling a subcontinent problem

 

[shortbread]

I remember a Indian getting 300 never played again after that innings.. is sub continent test cricket a joke?

No, all the other sub continent teams are playing quality test cricket at the moment, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, India...... being a joke is unfortunately confined to Pakistan!

 

[batandballbattle]

That 454 run partnership was:

The highest 4th wicket partnership in test history
The highest partnership by a visiting team in Pakistan
The highest partnership against Pakistan
The 4th highest partnership in test cricket
Only the 3rd instance of 2 batters going past 250 in the same innings

 

[AAli98]

Yeah. When you are getting smashed like minnows, pull India into the discussion and dilute it by calling a subcontinent problem

Why did he not play again

 

[Rana]

Rizwan not saying “catchey” every ball now?

 

[Hellion]

Why did he not play again

We didn't need him in a middle order with Kohli, Rahane and Pujara back in 2017.

 

[Ali Active]

wow dropped

 

[Human786]

10 overs since lunch - 84/1

 

[Hellion]

Saud Shakeel

 

[Human786]

[Human786]

49 overs remain , declare if Brook gets out or 300 !

@RyanRyan10 Lol as soon as I said this Saud drops another catch.

This is what happens when you put Karachi players and mix them with Misbah.

Shame, I really really really wanted saud to succeed and become the pakistani Malan

 

[Rana]

Rizwan worried another keeper looking better than him

 

[Rana]

49 overs remain , declare if Brook gets out or 300 !

Declare when Pakistan have totally run out of gas.

 

[Hellion]

What a shot by Brook. Flat pitch , club level bowlers and this guy looks unstoppable

 

[karthikc]

Saud Shakeel is telling "How dare you look to get out so soon!!"

 

[batandballbattle]

Bat throughout the day and insert Pakistan with a 350+ run lead
Let Brook challenge Lara, let the innings total challenge Sri Lanka

 

[mominsaigol]

Rizwan worried another keeper looking better than him

The same shot Brook hit for a 6 is the same shot rizwam tried to play and got out on lol

 

[Human786]

Ramiz should be banned from anything to do with cricket ... 751/4

 

[Rana]

The same shot Brook hit for a 6 is the same shot rizwam tried to play and got out on lol

His fans wont be able to sell the chooran that Rizwan is the best keeper batsman in the world

 

[karthikc]

nervous 290's for Brook

 

[adi_62941]

Saud eyeing his captaincy after this series. Wasay bhai rightly said that they are just players who can play matches but cannot win. That is true.

 

[Josh]

49 overs remain , declare if Brook gets out or 300 !

England should only declare with 10 overs to go. Tire the bowlers out. I think result is not possible on this pitch.

 

[Hellion]

Rameez " Wonder if bowling on such flat decks will make PAK bowlers more rugged as they will learn a lot"

 

[sindhiboy]

Brook still running 2s and 3s is absolutely ridiculous

 

[AAli98]

I knew it just knew it Abra won the toss with the bowlers last night to pull out of bowling & chill in the dressing room.. rotten to the core are these guys.

Rameez " Wonder if bowling on such flat decks will make PAK bowlers more rugged as they will learn a lot"

He meant ragged

 

[Human786]

101 runs 12 overs since lunch

 

[Josh]

101 runs 12 overs since lunch

Carnage ! Should bat till 10 overs after tea and then declare

 

[mominsaigol]

Babar, Saud and Hurraira.

^^ The goat trio

 

[Rana]

101 runs 12 overs since lunch

England Cricket is a Brand!

 

[Rana]

Yaar this Hurraira is annoying

Stopping so many runs

 

[mominsaigol]

England Cricket is a Brand!

They invented the brand of bazzball tbf and aggressive cricket in the modern era.

2016 changed everything.

 

[batandballbattle]

101 runs 12 overs since lunch

Bowlers turned into mincemeat

 

[Hellion]

Naseem still bowling 136 kph in 28th over. Respect

 

[RyanRyan10]

England Cricket is a Brand!

Dewadwal will now remind us of Kanpur test

 

[RyanRyan10]

Centuries for Shaheen, Naseem, Abrar, Salman and Jamal

 

[Rana]

Smith and Brooks

The new KP and Flintoff

 

[Rana]

Too much fire in his eyes

 

[RyanRyan10]

5th highest innings total

 

[mominsaigol]

Feel bad for Naseem, catches dropped.

 

[Hellion]

Highest England total since WW2

 

[Human786]

triple ............ declare now

 

[adi_62941]

i can guarantee that our batting will crumble again and innings defeat is a fate of this this team. No wonder cricket is on a same path as of hockey and other sports in Pakistan. May god bless this country

 

[mominsaigol]

Highest England total since WW2

Wow, that's actually impressive. Ik it's a phata wicket but still, 75+ years in the making

 

[RyanRyan10]

Why Harry Potter didn't bowl today?

 

[Rana]

Gwan Brooksy get 400 son!

 

[Human786]

45 overs left .... 221 ahead

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

303 off 311 balls. God god.

 

[Hellion]

Brook has replaced Sehwag as the new Sultan of Multan

 

[Rana]

Why Harry Potter didn't bowl today?

He’s stuck Azkaban

 

[batandballbattle]

Now go after the Lara record!

 

[Rana]

Time for Shaheen ‘koi bemaar hai’

 

[Hellion]

Why Harry Potter didn't bowl today?

Bazball and Multan pitch dementors sucked his soul out.

 

[Asif321]

Why Harry Potter didn't bowl today?

Bhukaar

 

[Human786]

779/5

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Why Harry Potter didn't bowl today?

Fever

 

[Hellion]

Pathetic yaar. Should've played until 900-1000

 

[adi_62941]

Compare harry brook 300 celebration and our salman agha 100 celebration. You will know the difference in mindset

 

[Human786]

779/5

still no declaration - poor

 

[Croma]

Jamaaaal has the be mentioned on the scorecard for almost every wicket

 

[adi_62941]

Definitely england is eyeing 300-350 lead

 

[Rana]

Ward asks serious question of when should England declare to win this game…

Ramiz immediately changes the topic to milestones! I swear this guy is the reason why Pakistan have become a club level team

 

[Hellion]

still no declaration - poor

Declare and bowl for 1.5 days on this dead pitch? I say bat until there is some sign of pitch breaking up

 

[Ahmed216]

England wasting time now

 

[Rana]

Brook, Ducket and Crawley are like dementors for Abrar poor lad

 

[mominsaigol]

Ward asks serious question of when should England declare to win this game…

Ramiz immediately changes the topic to milestones! I swear this guy is the reason why Pakistan have become a club level team

Well, when club cricketers who fraud their way into international cricket start leasing a team this is what happens.

Misbah, Ramiz and many more just to make a few.

 

[Josh]

Bowl shaheen from one end as he doesn't care about work load

 

[Josh]

England wasting time now

Minimum 350 lead they'll look for. No need to bat second then

 

[Theo_14]

Babar got out in his 30s on this pitch? Incredible.

 

[Rana]

England wasting time now

It’s not Agha and Abrar at the crease
