Pakistan v England | 3rd Test | Sharjah | Nov 1-5, 2015 | Day 3

[Pakcricket89]

Need Wahab at these two. Both come from sub-continent and are in the comfort zone against spin

 

[Pakcricket89]

Absolutely hate how Adil rasheed pretends to bat like a proper batsman.

He is a decent enough batsman

 

[dashing_man]

Lol you got unbanned again? Man, you've already made more comebacks than Mohammad Sami!

At least my combacks are celebrated world wide

 

[Yatoo]

Pakistan making these desis look like Bradman.

 

[Red Devil]

My point was I don't understand the need to attack the bowlers and lose your wicket like Bairstoe did. They should have looked to bat the whole day instead especially now that theyve got the lead .

Yeah, I know man. Just messing.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Yeah, I know man. Just messing.

I know but after rereading what I had posted , it did sound stupid so I felt I had to elaborate

 

[dashing_man]

Yeah, I know man. Just messing.

You don't even know what he said. Awein reply kerdia tha. Haina!! Confess now

 

[Yatoo]

Not a single bowler who can rip through batting lineups. Yasir is decent. Takes wickets but he also can't Rio through. Wagar should roll his arm. Will still get more banana swinging yokers than our current youngsta beautifies.

 

[ahanank]

He is a decent enough batsman

Against a decent enough pacer, he isn't.
Pakistani spinners make him look like that.

 

[Pakcricket89]

Babar trolling his critics yet again.

what troll, this should be his last match ever

7 wickets at S/R of 140+ in spinning conditions is drop worthy

Infact the difference b/w Pak'12 and Pak'15 is non-performance of babar. Rehman ably supported Ajmal. Yasir hasnt got any support

 

[ahanank]

Not a single bowler who can rip through batting lineups. Yasir is decent. Takes wickets but he also can't Rio through. Wagar should roll his arm. Will still get more banana swinging yokers than our current youngsta beautifies.

Exactly.
An in-form umar gul would have been perfect. 3 yorkers enough to rattle them

 

[Pakcricket89]

Against a decent enough pacer, he isn't.
Pakistani spinners make him look like that.

He would be an asset for England if his bowling can come good. He can average 30+ with bat

 

[Red Devil]

You don't even know what he said. Awein reply kerdia tha. Haina!! Confess now

Nah, I only read your posts absentmindedly.

 

[dashing_man]

technically speaking, England are 7 down

 

[ahanank]

Why are we flighting the ball to tail-enders!!
They love that.

 

[Kianig89]

Tail must not wag

 

[Yatoo]

Pakistan tail should learn from English. This is how not to meekly surrender.

 

[dashing_man]

Nah, I only read your posts absentmindedly.

did you read Big Nas tweet regarding Adil Rashid )

 

[Pakcricket89]

Exactly.
An in-form umar gul would have been perfect. 3 yorkers enough to rattle them

Umar Gul was an inferior test bowler and these 2 have 32 FC centuries so they are no tailenders

 

[dashing_man]

Pakistan tail should learn from English. This is how not to meekly surrender.

can't blame them, they are very eager to go out there and have a bowl

 

[Pakcricket89]

Pakistan tail should learn from English. This is how not to meekly surrender.

England dont have a tail TBH, They have 33 FC centuries among 8,9,10

Its got to do with ability

 

[Pakcricket89]

Wahab should have a bowl from one end

 

[Yatoo]

Time to take a break. See you guys in evening session.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Apparently Stokes will bat if necessary .

 

[Snow]

Yasir is not living up to hype this series.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Moeen ali is currently the second worst english batsman.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Patel Why he want to become hero against us

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Yasir is not living up to hype this series.

No support whatsoever from seamers/Babar except that Wahab spell.

 

[JibranAnsari]

The lead will be around 150. Both these batsmen are very capable.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Patel Why he want to become hero against us

He is Indian at heart. Would love to rub it in against Pakistan

 

[IAJ]

Lols these 'Asian british' batsmen are really irritating. They should not be allowed to bat in Asian conditions.

 

[Snow]

No support whatsoever from seamers/Babar except that Wahab spell.

They have been keeping tight, bowling way too many full tosses.

 

[Pakcricket89]

Where the hell is Wahab these 2 wont get out to spin

 

[Amjid Javed]

We need to make sure this england lead doesnt get up to 100, pretty much need to mop up tail quickly.

 

[ChachaCricket]

Get in a short leg Misbah. Stop trying to save runs.

 

[Pakcricket89]

Need Rahat from other end

 

[Square Drive]

Damn these batsmen are annoying.

 

[JibranAnsari]

We need to make sure this england lead doesnt get up to 100, pretty much need to mop up tail quickly.

England has only one tailender in anderson. We will mop him up , lets deal with the batsmen first.

 

[Pakcricket89]

Wahab's pace has been down ever since that 9 over spell

 

[battler]

England running away with the game.

 

[Square Drive]

Get in a short leg Misbah. Stop trying to save runs.

How times change.

 

[Robert]

Patel is larging it!

 

[Slog]

Damn these batsmen are annoying.

Tail doing he job of hanging around like you would expect them to.

Ours on the other hand is in a hurry to get back to the warmth of dressing room

 

[castortroy]

England will get at least 100 lead. Pak will will be 50-3 with Anderson and broad taking out the first few. Then it will be down to misbah and Khan followed by the worst tail in international cricket.

Game is over

 

[Pakcricket89]

England will easily get 120+ lead, which will be massive

 

[castortroy]

Yasir shah has been bang average this series

 

[ChachaCricket]

How times change.

One's got to know the right time to attack and defend.

 

[Slog]

Exactly.
An in-form umar gul would have been perfect. 3 yorkers enough to rattle them

Lol you're making it sound like Umar Gul was Dale Steyn once upon a time.

He was always an average test bowler

 

[#GreenRoars]

He is Indian at heart. Would love to rub it in against Pakistan

Like Moeen Ali did with India

 

[Amjid Javed]

spinners making it to easy for the batsmen here, come on wahab get a wicket.

Lead is 41 and this is getting dangerous for pakistan now.

 

[Arsal_AK]

Babar.

He is walking to the ball.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Like Moeen Ali did with India

Touche

 

[Pakcricket89]

Patel has taken the game beyond Pak

 

[James]

Great little innings from Samit so far, well done lad.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Patel has 22 FC hundreds and adil has 10. Both are very capable batsmen. Pakistan probably wont bowl again.

 

[Robert]

Patel's weighty presence adds gravity to the England lower order.

 

[dashing_man]

Like Moeen Ali did with India

ouch! whattay knockout punch

 

[JibranAnsari]

Pakistani origin players want to perform against pakistan to show that they arent pakistanis anymore and indian origin players love to perform against pakistan. Bechari pakistani team.

 

[ChachaCricket]

Patel's played better cricketing shots in this innings than Misbah has in his entire career.

 

[Mamoon]

Yasir has bowled well, it has Wahab who has been pants in this match.

 

[Cricket lover 27]

Can anyone please explain to me why was Shoaib Malik selected his batting is nothing to write home about and he hardly bowls.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Even Babar getting turn now.

 

[ahanank]

Lol you're making it sound like Umar Gul was Dale Steyn once upon a time.

He was always an average test bowler

But, he could clean up the tail.

 

[Arsal_AK]

Yasir has just bowled just 2-3 overs today. Astounding.

Give him the ball. He is most likely to take a wicket.

 

[Pakcricket89]

Yasir has just bowled just 2-3 overs today. Astounding.

Give him the ball. He is most likely to take a wicket.

He was bowling quite poorly, rightly taken off

 

[Pakcricket89]

But, he could clean up the tail.

These are basmen not tailenders, Umar would have struggled to dislodge them too on this pitch

 

[Arsal_AK]

He was bowling quite poorly, rightly taken off

3 overs??

Yeah right. He is your best bet.

 

[Arsal_AK]

Get a yorker in atleast. Might do the trick.

 

[liaqat]

Englands tail showing the value of bowler's who can bat also..

This will be the difference between us and them in this game i feel,

i think once the lead gets to 70-90 then Pakistan will start to panic

 

[ChachaCricket]

Misbah's a genius. Puts the short leg after the chance.

 

[Sam1]

Gotta get to the tail before you can clean it up . Neither of these players would look much out of place in the number 6 all rounder role, which they both do at county level.

 

[taqi]

15 mins to lunch need couple of wickets now

 

[taqi]

Yasir may do the trick

 

[Pakcricket89]

YAsir needs to do something he has been terrible today

 

[Pakcricket89]

Poor start again

 

[#GreenRoars]

You lucky Rashid

 

[JibranAnsari]

Wahab looks overcoached , lacking his natural aggression or probably has lost his rhythm.

 

[Pakcricket89]

MAlik

 

[Pakcricket89]

How will malik take a wicket, unless they throw away

 

[Pakcricket89]

England's session this, Massive advantage now
