Pakistan reach 73/3 at stumps in the 1st innings of the 3rd Test against England

Let's hope Ayub doesn't do his usual throw away at end of a session
 
time for saim to prove he belongs at this level.. he has had far too many chances so far without any real and meaningful innings
 
This is the point i am trying to make here.

Ball clipping on Umpire's call (even when the review isnt for LBW) would be considered out if thats what the umpire called.
Rauf was a standard lbw decision. This was a decision for caught and so when they checked for lbw they assumed lbw was not out. Look at the replay, on the lbw the original decision was listed as not out. It would need three reds to overturn
 
Why Pakistanis feel they can only attack spin by dancing down the track?
 
Rawalpindi needs to host more tests. Relatively speaking, the attendance is decent for tests played in Pakistan. Looks just over half full.
Its a massive shame this ground was affected most by the stupid flat pitch tactic
 
IF we win this series, SSA Babar should be paraded on a open bus with fans standing having tomatoes in their hands

So should fans like you who have defended these frauds in the past.
 
Saim has developed an annoying habit of getting out after drinks or session breaks.
 
Usual brain fart from Ayub, this guy needs to be dropped
 
It's important to get some partnerhsip going here and get a lead in the first inning.
 
His mentor Babar does the same
Babar definitely had this habit some years ago when he was trying to find his feet in test cricket. But I don't think its a pattern in his batting anymore. He has just generally been badly out of form recently
 
Pakistan probably has the most walking wickets amongst all the teams playing any kind of cricket right now.

Gets out before the end of the day, post 50 pre 50. Pre tea. Right at the start of playb
 
does not belong at this level.. especially test cricket.. seen enough of him to call it
I'm not willing to give up on him just yet.But sooner or later I think one of these two will have to make way for Hurraira. It's unfair to him to be kept out when neither of the openers are exactly lighting the world on fire
 
Ball sticking in the surface and keeping low. Lol
Will be difficult for Agha and Rizwan the way they play
 
England's first innings in Rawalpindi was only the second time in Test history that no pace was bowled in the first innings of a match

The first time was way back in 1882, when Australia's Joey Palmer and Edwin Evans bowled 115 four-ball overs against England at the SCG
 
That 110 run partnership is what it is going to come down to in the end.

From where Pak had Eng at one stage, 263 is a good score in that context.
 
This is what captains should do not just go on auto pilot, if you know a player is good with spin try the pace option. Pakistan in big trouble now, England have the runs on board.
 
I dunno I thought that was a pretty good ball. You can't exactly prepare yourself for the ball to stay that low

This is why I said earlier, had Pak got Eng out earlier in the day, Pak would have rolled over tonight itself too and Eng would have started their 2nd inns itself today.
 
I think the selectors also should make on field decision this shaani has been a let down
 
Pathetic effort with bat, this is why I said don't get carried away with England struggling,
 
Can't blame Pak for not playing a pacer.

No one in our setup who can match pace and accuracy of Atkinson
