You should always back a specialist leggi to perform, unless it’s an absolute road. You should double back a leggi taking ~6 wickets/Test and a 5for n every 3.5 innings. You should triple back the guy if it’s against England.

And you should quadruple it, if he is bowling against Poms on a dry, bouncy track with his batsmen putting a significant total on 1st innings.

I missed one more trick - put it to the power five, if his pacers have done a significant damage with new ball.

Now, someone tag this one to my boss .....

Naseem is in his 14th over and still bowling late 87+ mph, thats tremendous. If he can keep on evolving his fitness over time I dont see anything stopping him. He has enough skills that even if he keeps in around 85 mph he can have a really successful career as said quite a few times before.

His actions need to change a little by time.

Honestly I don’t know why people reply to this guy’s posts anymore. I’ve seen many examples of blatant trolling in the past lol but this is just taking the pee.

Naseem not really getting much zip of the wicket

Speed gun is high but doesn't look that sharp

Think he’s OK in the air but yeah, pitch slowing down it seems. The odd high bounce, but mostly low down. Feel like the yorker/fuller swinging will be better.
 
Man YS bowling in a bit of a rhythm. Home he keeps it up. Don’t know if they will bring on SK immediately. They seem to be in control and feel like continuing.

We are not up to par....but dreadful is a very strong word. Frankly we lost in australia 3-0 which could have been 2-1. We have to remember we humiliated aus in dubai. they had to return the favour. we have done much worse with much better batting line up ...

We had 2 Tests in Australia. We have been downgraded from a 3 match main event to a 2 match warmup because of our illustrious performances in Australia since 1996.

The 2-0 was more like 3-0. Apart from the first session of the first Test, we were completely obliterated.

We need to remember that Australia managed to draw a Test in the UAE without Smith.

Yasir is better than Ashwin and Jadeja combined twice.

Ashiwn was pretty decent in his last Aus tour, got some key wickets.

Yasir when in rhythm is as good as any spinner one will ever see or have seen, he has ability to turn around the matches. Problem is when he lacks the rhythm, he doesnt take a back seat rather over tries which sometimes release the pressure.
 
The Pakistan team is slapping all the bitter trolls left right and center.. funny to see those trolls clutching for straws now
 
Archer has been completely underwhelming with the bat so far in his career. He is probably 2-3x the batsman he has proved to be so far.
 
England's tail is pretty strong. I think their tail is better than their top order.

Found it strange that Misbah played two leggies, but seems like he saw it right. Could be the difference.
 
Naseem seems to have averaged better pace. Not sure if he will try and bounce Jofra given he’s not going to want to play bouncers himself (old school stuff).
 
If people want to blame Misbah for Pakistan losing then they should also give him credit for Pakistan winning.
 
Time to give Abbas/Shaheen a run. The ball would be reversing now.
 
Bumble says sun is out, dry conditions, maybe bring spin from both ends. Wasim says nah, should reverse in a few overs, that’s how I am programmed to think lol.
 
Naseem can follow the career of Pat Cummins. Someone with high pace during his young age and a pretty relatable side on action as well. Cummins changes gears of his pacer really well, more importantly can follow his fitness routine as well.
 
Do we have a "no bouncer" policy or something in action?.. Weve seen no proper short balls at all.. Surely that would be an effective tactic with a short leg in against the likes of Archer.
 
Both poor teams you just need to look at there number 7 batsman’s to see the standards.. eng openers look like Pub league players. Azhar & Asad are theiving a living of Babars runs!!

Naseems action takes me back to the 80’s.. think of someone like a dennis lillee
 
[MENTION=79064]MMHS[/MENTION] is itching to tag Junaids on this Yasir performance
 
How much does Wasim get paid for reading the scorecard?
 
Yasir has undoubtedly set the stage on fore post lunch.

I've given him credit for retaining Shan when his fans like [MENTION=134608]Hawkeye[/MENTION] and [MENTION=148759]HappyWarsFan[/MENTION] on PP were asking for him to be dropped.

slow pitch ... short balls will go for runs unless it is express pace.
 
Not sure England lower-orders are doing poking around. Might aswell get some runs. They are not good enough to play proper cricket on this wicket.
 
If we win, this would be our first win outside London since winning at the same venue in 2001.
 
Maaan o maaan. Not a test cricket thing, but would not mind Jazba Junoon blaring from the speakers between overs. And this from a purist.
 
Sky Sports production has been good in this series so far. I like the commentators and content.
 
Can we finally get some bouncers aimed at Archer and Broad. Please!!
 
I want to be paid for reading the scoreboard and explaining the field as well. Are they hiring currently?
