England tour of Pakistan - 7 T20Is, 3 Tests

[Bigby Wolf]

Pace is Pace.

Mark Wood with the Big wicket.

Ramiz being interviewed, Pakistan wicket falls. Classic.

 

[Khan Sahab54]

So far a slow start by Pakistan.

If Khushdil Shah doesn't perform today - drop him from international cricket!!!

Great to see Mark Wood back and bowling rockets.

Hopefully he can remove youngster in the making Iftikhar Ahmed.

156kph first ball.

 

[Pinch hitter]

If top 2 perform, they looks solid team... if not, they just looks like a ordinary team...

 

[wasteyouryouth]

Iftikhar bounced out by Sam Curran

 

[Rehan_24]

Roy is out of form, Morgan retired. Brook is very much part of the first choice XI

If Roy was out of form then certainly he should have been in this side to regain his Form back.

If Khushdil Shah doesn't perform today - drop him from international cricket!!!

True, he was never an international material. Mark this, Iftikhar and Khushdil are not international level players.

Yes let’s ignore the rest of the other deserving blokes instead.

Oh Woody Woody. Good to see a pure pace spearhead back, hope stays fit. Masood has a decent chance here to play a good knock that can secure his spot from any potential Fakhar return.

This is unchaseable after the mess Wood made of our top order, so i hope Shan and Khushdil get some time in the middle at least.

And Khushdil is out. Perfect jinx

Shan has done well here today. Confirms my hypothesis that he would be the ideal foil to the openers (which I should post in detail). Pack the rest of the side with hitters and you've got a good side in the making IMO (which is probably the TL;DR of said hypothesis).

Does Ben Stokes make it into England's best T20I XI at the moment? As good as he is given the current context and his lack of games under the belt I don't think he should be in the team which speaks a lot of England's riches.

I really really hope Haider makes runs in the next 4 games, because we need to have a settled 3 and 4.
Shadab has to be at 5 if Iftikhar doesn’t fire as a pace hitter.

This is where Pakistan will lose 7/10 times. The middle order! As good as Shikhi, KL and Rohit were for India 2-4 years ago and middle order apart from Kohli was shit, this is happening with Pakistan. All the signs are there... your top 2 are world class, your middle order is domestic class, they have to step up. Lost us the WC in 2019, could happen with you all as well!
