I would love to see Swann bowl in India and see him being taken to the cleaners - Pak batsmen are disgraceful against spin!
Exactly. He's just an honest line and length spinner, but Pak batsmen are playing him like he was unreadable.
 
Who exactly are these top spinners? Graeme Swann has been one of the best around for a while, he averaged 12 against them last time in England, they have improved against him this time, but he's still taking wickets.

Other than Ajmal & Swann, what truly world class spinners are around at the moment? Shakib maybe?

Well since i am talking to you, the only good spinners are English spinners and England are great.
 
The worst feeling I have had today:

Was just looking at the score on cricinfo and suddenly the wicket column was changed from 2 till 3. That was a bad feeling, just looking at the movement of the digits.
 
Pakistan need to be postive here and score some runs, just continual blocking aint going to get us anywhere and once a wicket falls will be in even deeper ****!

we cant afford to even lose any more wickets today!
 
yes thats why they lost first test in 3 days..:yk this match aint over.. we might see a 50 from ajmal here
And how much have they improved is nothing hidden, batted better than before on a spin friendly track. plus they have to take total of 12 wickets, rest of them wil be gifted.
 
Guys hang in there... the ball should get softer in 4 to 5 overs then we can start ticking over...
 
Pakistan's plan now in place. Tire them out and then pounce. Four to Azhar.
 
If we had one attacking batsman in the top 6, one single, we would have got those 23 runs in no time and and could look to build a lead.

Oh no, The Misbah-virus reaching Azhar as well just before a pause.

NEW RECORD

19 people have been dismissed in this match without the help of fielders already.

Previous record was 16...

Lol what an epic discussion between optimism and pessimism. :yk
 
Someone please score a big 100 for pakistan in this match ffs!
 
When we ask all other batsmen to support Misbah, gues who get's out first....

If Azhar and Misbah can bat to close and add another 60 runs that would be great!

114/3 at close will look good.
 
Yes thats him..:dav but im talking abt yuvraj the bowler vs kp the tailender:danish

Why do you keep including these stupid pictures in every post you make? They have no relevance to the discussion.

Anyway, KP is 10x the player Yuvraj will ever be.
 
wait add another 14 runs, which will come of the last over of the day.
 
Azhar Ali needs Misbhas calm influence on the other side - Love the way Misbah takes control. He remains our last hope.
 
A quick calculation based on historical RR suggests Pak will clear the deficit at around 30 overs.

LUL WAT?

More like other way around.

Even though i hate Yuvis gut and face(for some reason) he is class bat and a class above KP.
 
loads of pressue now on Kaptaan if he bats well we will put up a good total.

Either way i don't think many people would like to be in his shoes right now....
 
Steady and discplined as usual from Pakistan. Did i just post that? Waitwat?

Deficit nearly erased by steady batting, infuriating posters who want five rpo....

Agree with the poster who said just bowl three spinners for the whole England innings.
 
Can't Younis just retire from cricket! he has been a liability in ODIs and now is showing his class against good test teams as well. Umar Akmal deserves a chance and ASAD and AZHAR has been better in this series so has to sit out......
 
Can the wrist slitters please shut the hell up, epecially those suggesting Younis should be dropped/retired. :facepalm:
 
See some Random Aussie trying to smack Pakistan's ass.. ohh wait they have every right to i mean they were able to draw the series with us in england.. and ashes was just a diplomatic gift by them to england else why they gave wickets to average spin/pace attack......
