Pakistan Tour of England and Ireland - July/September 2016

[Na Maloom Afraad]

Anything Woakes can do, Shah can do better.

Wahab Riaz bowls a no ball, and I don't know who the goddamned commentator was, but He said "A decent-sized no ball from Wahab, but not quite as big as some of we've seen on this ground".

Seriously, WTF? Isn't that racism?

Well, not racism, but it's a stupid thing to say. I bet it was Ian Botham.

 

[IceAgeComing]

Yeah that's pretty stupid; although totally expected

I've been travelling all day since I'm on my hols this week; has Shah bowled as well as his figures suggest? I wouldn't ask for any other team, but England have a habit of collapsing and are terrible against any kind of spin bowling, so its worth asking...

Average bowling, tbh. He took one wicket on a ball that spun too much. All the other balls were quite average.[DOUBLEPOST=1468603564][/DOUBLEPOST]Straight off of ESPN.

"81 wickets in 13 Tests for Yasir Shah. No bowler had more than 81 at this stage of career. No bowler in 139 years history of Test cricket. Well done, Yasir."

 

[Salman.]

Hafeez you piece of...

Sarfraz too.

 

[CerealKiller]

Sarfraz too.

What did he do? Didn't watch the last session.

 

[Na Maloom Afraad]

He dropped a catch, maybe in the first session?

Actually, i missed a big part of the second one as well. Don't think he dropped it in the first one, as i watched it all.

Yeah, I didn't watch the last part of the 1st session, and the 2nd session. I think He dropped it in the second. I watched the entire third session.

 

[Perfect Square]

Amir almost got cook out 3 times.
Amir be like - Baby ko cook pasand hai!

Good, consistent spin bowling but quite a few of them got themselves out. If you're a Root fan, don't watch his dismissal. You'll be frustrated. England's darling son Gary Ballance is back! Really?? Scott Borthwick has piled on the runs and yet they go back to this useless, talentless and technique deprived individual.

 

[Markkkkk]

I watched a bit of todays play and I must admit Yasir Shah is a genius. Mohammad Amir performed how I expected him to, good but nothing out of this world. I don't know what Ballance is doing in the line-up, honestly he's such utter crap I'd rather chuck Liam Dawson, Scott Borthwick, Zafer Ansari or any other decent batting all rounder and drop Ali for Anderson and Ball for Stokes. My line up for the second test (I don't know if everyone is fit or not):

Cook
Hales
Root
Spinning all rounder
Vince
Stokes
Bairstow
Woakes
Broad
Finn/Ball/Whoever
Anderson

Also do you guys think Bairstow can bat at 3? Purely on batting (not taking his wicket keeping duties into consideration) I think he could be a good shout but I have a feeling his technique wouldn't hold up against the new ball...
