Pakistan Tour of England and Ireland - July/September 2016

[Excommunicado]

I'm disappointed but the fact is we're playing an top side on their own soil. We were gonna get smashed at some point so it can't pop up as a surprise.

Our batting is our weakness and England prepared a batting pitch which meant it had nothing for our bowlers and our batting were going to collapse no matter which pitch. Clearly, England were afraid of the idea of playing Pakistan on a good pitch (which includes spin, bounce, etc) but this is typical defensive England.

It would be an big accomplishment if we could save the game, with the help of rain but nonetheless, we haven't lost anything big yet, there's a long way left till the end of the series and we're Pakistan, very unpredictable so we could bounce back at any time.

Oh Cooky boy, what is wrong with you? Why not enforce the follow-on?

England and Cook get criticised for being defensive but this is just ridiculous.

We're following Australia's example

Nah mate you are much worse !

[Tarzan]

This is an idiotic act by Cook. Is he saving his Captaincy?

Atleast we are better than Bangladesh, who have played 93 test matches and only won 7 of them.

By we, you mean Australia? Your side got bowled out in less than one session! How is that any better? Its a perception that non-Asian sides are better against good swing bowling. Australia have been as vulnerable as any Asian side against good swing/seam bowling. Just look at the records. They got bowled out for 50-odd against SA and 60-odd against England, all in the past few years. The Asian sides get a lot of flak for being flat-track bullies yet Australia who are more used to encountering such conditions, struggle. Somehow, the moment a side from the subcontinent fails in an overseas test, people are ready to write them off. Yet, one hardly notices when Australia/England struggle against the spin and reverse swing in Asia.

Pakistan did the same against Africa didn't they?

PS : Australia have at least won in Asia yes our record against Pakistan and India is shite but Lanka have defeated us only once in their history (1 test and 1 series) ON THE OTHER hand India and Pakistan have never won in Australia so yeah and the problem with Asians team is that they are shite outside Asia. Australia have won on RSA and NZ soil recently
