Saud terrible shakeel should have drank buffalo's milk when he was little but he is still little. He could have grown a bit.
 
Zimbabar and saud garbage are throwing the start away. They are undoing the work of shan Masood.
 
ptich looks like it will deteriorate over the next few days. so pakistan just needs to post a good score. 500 plus. and let the pitch do the rest.
 
Anything less than 600 from Pakistan and England will still be in the game.
need to score runs but also tire them out. thats why test match batting requires players with good defensive technique to go with stroke play. need to know when to attack and also to play attrition style cricket.
 
new ball avaialble after this over
woakes
atkinson
and co are drooling now.

lets see how pace goes.
 
No batsman in modern test cricket should have strike rate less than 50 and this terrible saud has strike rate of 46.
 
holy crap how can you be so bad vs spin lmao.
and i thought kohli was bad vs spin
 
He can't even score against spin bowling. Once again I just don't understand why fans overhype him and why PCB is backing him like he next lara.
 
Pathetic over rate by England as usual.
they need to be docked games for this. useless pathetic whinging bunch of losers tbh.
games should be forfeited if they have been warned multiple times.
blatant cheating
pakistan not complaing being the gentlemen they are.
 
How many centuries does he have compared to the no of test games played?
Lol how many of his test centuries has helped Pakistan win the tests? He is terrible player. I can't wait to see him against South africa in South africa and other Sena countries.

He failed so hard in australia even his failure would be ashamed of this loser.
 
FINALLLLYYY NEW BALL
loser poms cheating as usual
slow overrate. joke cricket team.
 
btw where is fawad alam? i have been keeping up as much with pakistan cricket. where did he disappear?
Saud shakeel replaced him, Fawad had pour outings and it didn't help saud scored a double century

Fawad is aged now, its a shame because he was never given proper chances. Had misbah not been so stubborn this guy was the perfect batter and someone like asad shafiq shouldn't have been in his place.
 
All posters commenting about low scoring rate do not seem to comprehend how test cricket is played in sessions and due to situations.
 
Since the day this saud shakeel has been selected in the team Pakistan has started losing tests on regular basis.

He should be booted out.
 
finally some shots
both cant play spin
pitch will 100% play tricks later on day 4 5

you can play slow to tire out bowlers but not dead slow. this is dead slow.
run rate at 2.31 on a flat patta. thats crap. need to be 4 plus

Pakistan lost two wickets on trott so being careful not to give upper hand to England by losing couple more with silly shots like they were doing throughout Bangladesh series without regard for the situation. Both these players are doing a fine job to drive Pakistan slowly back to strength position, then they can make hay again.
 
50* plus partnership for the Baber-Saud duo. The pace has slowly significantly but run keeps coming for the green side
 
I feel bad for Shaheen and Naseem because they have to play 50% of their games on these pitches and then get flamed by the fans when they inevitably do badly
They both played matches on english and australian conditions and still smashed by batters. What you talking about man? Haha
 
Night watchman is a good way to give England another cheap wicket and shift the momentum in their favour.
 
What happened to babar? Really this guy is struggling. No way out. Seems like underpressure

but if you are too defensive, bowlers will gain confidence and the you will get a jaffa which will be the end.

Most bowlers exceed in their home conditions and struggle elsewhere. A "mid" test bowler in the current era would do that, they both don't have the chance to do so
 
Bobby can't even score Test runs in Pakistan unless it's in Pindi or Karachi. Absolutely mediocre outside these 2 venues.
