What's new

Pakistan beat England by 10 wickets in the 4th Test

I seriously hope Sohail Khan is held back for ODIs. Its shambolic not to pick him in the first place

We're resting him. Wrapping him in cotton wool for the series against Australia
 
We need to ATTACK! stop giving away these singles! BUILD PRESSURE!
 
So you wont take him to NZ?

I would rest him even in UAE

Oh yeah NZ to, I forgot that little team [MENTION=132954]Aman[/MENTION] [MENTION=95766]leatherface58[/MENTION] [MENTION=131138]Space Cat[/MENTION] :yk
 
Moeen should definitely open ahead of Hales and England should bring Bell back for Bangladesh and Indian tours
 
Is that Babar Azam watching from the crowd in the cookie monster costume? :))) [MENTION=132916]Junaids[/MENTION]

Bell was never a particularly brilliant player of spin in Asia and Moeen opening would be a stop-gap and backwards step in my view.

His ideal position is no.3/no.4, Moeen is not an opener; he would do a better job then Vince in his position
 
this partnership is the key if these two bat long it could get tough for us

Bell is much better than Ballance, Vince and Hales

Moeen would be a stop Gap, but thats the best option for England
 
What a terrible captaincy from Misbah he has a field that seems like pakistan are 75 in the deficit and limiting the damage. A good over is worth 4 runs you cannot build pressure with this stuff, how is yasir going to get you wickets when you have long on, long off and deep point in place, I hope pakistan do not have to pay for some very very silly captaincy. What is arthur doing? can't he relay the simplest of messages. In no time the lead will be erased if this sort of strategy is maintained.
 
This is the partnership that's been so dangerous for Pakistan in the last two Tests. Another wicket before lunch would be ideal.
 
Oh please, don't let these two run away with it. Moeen is looking comfortable.
 
It's a remote possibility, but I haven't given up on England winning this.

If one of these two scores 130 we reach 380 all out and lead by 150.

I think that's do-able, especially if Wahab gets thrown out of the attack.

I currently rate it:

Pakistan 80%
Draw 15 %
England 4%
Tie 1%
 
Need a wicket here. Get one of these two to open up the other end, although woakes is no mug either.

Need to attack fully
 
Bairstow should bat at 5. Becoming a mainstay of this England middle order.

Unfair to say England only depend on Cook and Root as Bairstow has been in excellent form this year.

Moeen Ali has been terrific with the bat this season to, his nature if that of a top order batsman; could easily be batting in Vinces position
 
Also, why doesn't Pakistan set a 7-2 field for Bairstow and force him to go over the top? Some risk is better than them milking the bowling. Or even just bring in all fielders up close.
 
The way these two are playing England will definitely score over 500+ and draw this test
 
Its pakistan's old habit of make it hard for themselves..
I think now pakistan would have to bat again....
