[CrIc_Mystique]

Good bowling by the young Naseem shah....for this indian fan of pace bowling...very much like Dennis lillee....you guys have some good pace guns in shaheen, naseem, hasnain, musa rauf ...

 

[gazza619]

Is Naseem Shah fully fit? Something doest seem right.

 

[Markhor]

Woakes doesn't play the short ball too well so may be worth testing him with a bouncer.

 

[Yk313]

Agreed best fielder in pakistan

Gun

 

[Mueez]

Ssssh, also want NS to bounce out JA

Yeah! Or a 150+ inswinging yorker.

Thanks for the kind words bro!

Good call. Hit on the helmet

 

[shamaan]

Good bouncer

 

[Usman Chadda]

Looks stiff, but that could be due to lack of match practice.

 

[Titan24]

Naseem’s ability to produce and unplayable delivery out of nowhere is a special attribute to have.

 

[Yk313]

Yeah! Or a 150+ inswinging yorker.

Aaye haaye. Highlight reel bro, vintage stuff ideally.

 

[waheed_sofi]

Naseem will be great in future. He just short of experience.

 

[shamaan]

2 overs of fast short bowling from naseem

 

[Yk313]

He’s hit Woakes now on the head. NS.

 

[shamaan]

Looks stiff, but that could be due to lack of match practice.

90 mph stiff lol

 

[Mueez]

Awesome spell by Naseem!

 

[Amjid Javed]

Much needed wicket, need to get butler here aswell.

 

[Major]

on the helmet

 

[King_Kohli]

Chris Woakes since his maiden Test century in 2018

He is fit, its just bit of hot day reflecting on the face of bowlers.

 

[waheed_sofi]

Pakistan has bowled 6 nbs.

 

[King_Kohli]

Youngest to take a wicket in England (Tests)
16y 353d Khalid Hasan in 1954
17y 72d Ata-ur-Rahman in 1991
17y 174d Naseem Shah in 2020 *

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Thank God for helmets!!!

Which is why it's surprising he's batting at 7.

 

[Major]

is that a qasai or what?

 

[Ab Fan]

180 all out.

 

[Third Man]

90 mph stiff lol

Don’t just jump into everything with a reply. They’re right. This isn’t Naseem at his most fluid.

 

[the Great Khan]

all these helmets lol

 

[Yk313]

With this footage from Sky, from behind the keeper, does not look like Woakes is keen on moving his feet at all.

Yorker up now?

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Woakes has been awful with the bat off late, need to capitalize on that.

 

[Third Man]

90 mph stiff lol

Don’t just jump into everything with a reply. They’re right. This isn’t Naseem at his most fluid.

 

[Major]

naseem wil get some rest here haha

 

[waheed_sofi]

Shaheen with new spell.

 

[the Great Khan]

With this footage from Sky, from behind the keeper, does not look like Woakes is keen on moving his feet at all.

Yorker up now?

yeah he will be tentative now..get it nice and full into the pads..

 

[Pacy with wisdom]

Shaheen is really down on pace. The covid break has not done him any favours.

 

[shamaan]

Don’t just jump into everything with a reply. They’re right. This isn’t Naseem at his most fluid.

What becouse he hasnt got a fifer or cuz hes not bowling 93 mph lol

 

[Yk313]

Just curious what do you guys think:

- if another falls will buttler cut free or will he play for his position and look to remain unbeaten? I know which one I prefer....

 

[Markhor]

Good bowling by the young Naseem shah....for this indian fan of pace bowling...very much like Dennis lillee....you guys have some good pace guns in shaheen, naseem, hasnain, musa rauf ...

Thanks for the kind words. Wouldn't put Hasnain and Musa with the other names yet - Musa especially will have problems due to lack of height while Hasnain needs to improve his control as he is quite expensive.

 

[waheed_sofi]

Shaheen bowled wide.

 

[Thunderbolt14]

Rizwan is a fantastic keeper!

 

[Yk313]

Rizwan <3

 

[Titan24]

Umpire felt it for Rizwan and called it a wide

 

[Markhor]

Just curious what do you guys think:

Bess and Broad are no mugs with the bat so Buttler can play somewhat normally, but with Anderson he'll have to cut loose.

 

[Omer2002]

Shaheens pace is down big time he needs to bowl atleast 85 plus

 

[shamaan]

Rizwan is a fantastic keeper!

Some of the takes were top notch

 

[Mueez]

Rizwan merits a place based on his wicket keeping alone.

 

[Major]

a wide ball iin test cricket

 

[Pacy with wisdom]

Thanks for the kind words. Wouldn't put Hasnain and Musa with the other names yet - Musa especially will have problems due to lack of height while Hasnain needs to improve his control as he is quite expensive.

Hasnain needs to improve everything.
His attacking skills are almost non existent.

 

[the Great Khan]

Thanks for the kind words. Wouldn't put Hasnain and Musa with the other names yet - Musa especially will have problems due to lack of height while Hasnain needs to improve his control as he is quite expensive.

he also doenst have many weapons yet. I have seem more good deliveries from naseem than hasnain. He has to work hard to develop inswingers, outswingers seamers etc..right now just up and down with pace and bouncers..not much else.

 

[Titan24]

Definitely no easy paisa for Rizwan, keeping is looking like one hell of a job here.

 

[Yk313]

I hope I am right but I don’t think Broad’s cameo against Windies will happen here. NS and SSA have the pace/ability to send him in his shell.

Beauty from SSA

 

[Amjid Javed]

Rizwans kept well.

 

[the Great Khan]

Rizwan merits a place based on his wicket keeping alone.

yeah impressed with his keeping..just wish he gets his batting sorted..
great bowling from naseem

 

[Third Man]

Thanks for the kind words. Wouldn't put Hasnain and Musa with the other names yet - Musa especially will have problems due to lack of height while Hasnain needs to improve his control as he is quite expensive.

Although he’s not as well known, I’d add Akif Javed to that group instead of Musa.

 

[Yk313]

Bess and Broad are no mugs with the bat so Buttler can play somewhat normally, but with Anderson he'll have to cut loose.

Agree about Bess, had forgotten him lol

Broad, I just feel won’t be able to do what he did against Windies due to NS, SSA being here. Hope I am not wrong about Broad

 

[Major]

Although he’s not as well known, I’d add Akif Javed to that group instead of Musa.

yup very good bowler. good one for the future

 

[Pacy with wisdom]

Although he’s not as well known, I’d add Akif Javed to that group instead of Musa.

Akif and Dilbar. These two have great potential.

 

[Markhor]

Hasnain needs to improve everything.
His attacking skills are almost non existent.

People calling Hasnain a poor man's Mohammad Sami are insulting Sami. He had raw pace, conventional swing, yorkers, reverse swing but sadly lacked the mental toughness under pressure.

Hasnain is not even close.

 

[Yk313]

Although he’s not as well known, I’d add Akif Javed to that group instead of Musa.

Saw some footage of AJ (PSL mostly), surprised Waqar has not mentioned him. I hope our mgmt aren’t going to Zzzz until media wakes them to it.

 

[Titan24]

If Pak can get around 100 runs lead then they will have a big chance in the game if no weather interruptions.

 

[Markhor]

This is impressive bowling from the youngsters this morning.

Please God keep them away from bookies and injuries.

 

[Mueez]

yeah impressed with his keeping..just wish he gets his batting sorted..
great bowling from naseem

Indeed. I hope he works on his batting and we have a very good keeper in our team!

 

[Firebat]

Naseem's ripper to Pope:

[the Great Khan]

i would give naseem a rest now..looking a bit tired..concentration a bit short. i would bring shadab in for a spell

 

[Usman Chadda]

This is the ugliest I have seen Buttler bat.

 

[waheed_sofi]

Butler is key here. Difference between big lead and short lead.

 

[Yk313]

This is really disciplined bowling from the youngsters.

Please God keep them away from bookies and injuries.

Ameeeen

 

[ARK Rafay]

If I recall correctly Buttler has a phenomenal record against Pakistan.

 

[Titan24]

Buttler plays his hosts uppishly, another fielder on the offside close in want be a bad option.

 

[the Great Khan]

This is impressive bowling from the youngsters this morning.

Please God keep them away from bookies and injuries.

they should be charged with treason if they are caught with a bookie. or threatened with something harsh like that. Most bookies are indian and their agendas are never off the table

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Buttler could start counter attacking now with bowlers around him.

 

[Titan24]

If I recall correctly Buttler has a phenomenal record against Pakistan.

Likes batting against Pak in every format. We kind of revived his test career in 2018.

 

[PakPremi]

Must say Azhar Ali looks fit chasing those balls, its good ifhe really is 39 or 40.

 

[Markhor]

Boundary for Buttler.

Don't release pressure now Naseem after all that hard work.

 

[Titan24]

Too much swing from Shaheen

 

[Mueez]

My grandfather lol arguing with me why Naseem Shah staring at the batsmen, saying cricket is a gentleman’s sport. And me trying to explain that is his job )

 

[waheed_sofi]

Rain stopped play.

 

[Markhor]

Azhar Mahmood mentioned on BBC that Pakistan are saving Shadab for England's tail because of his potent googly.

 

[King_Kohli]

180 all out.

230 (Minimum)

 

[the Great Khan]

good shot from woakes. he can bat a bit. we need to get him out.
