[Cricket] Pakistan-England Test Series

[Simster]

Outstanding bowling from what I've seen.

But England have lost this. Not just a bang average batting display here, but also it is clearly a spinners wicket, and we've picked just ONE. (Unless you count Joe Root's part time twirling)

FFS.

 

[Titanic]

Long way down there to be given lbw when it's only clipping isn't it. Did miss a straight one though so you can't complain too much.

DRS is the friend of spinners.

 

[The Wizard]

Don’t even think you can criticise the approach because this is one of them pitches where you could see England getting all out for under 200 this time a year ago

Kadabra has SEVEN, when was the last time a bowler took all 10 wickets?

 

[CHAPPERS]

This guy can bowl

You're right, it's 7 down but it's also approaching 250 from 47overs. If England can wag a bit from here, still very much in the game.

...okay, this is more like a tail wag of a French Bulldog...

 

[Titanic]

Ollie Robinson getting the shots out... and perishes with the second attempted slog to cow.

245-8

Only if we have spinners who can bowl as well as theirs.

Edit. Tail not wagging too well!

 

[Titanic]

Jack Leach... first ball swipe.

245-9, Zahid on a hat-trick.

 

[CHAPPERS]

Worth remembering Pakistan have to bat last on this and it's not going to get any better. There will be something in it for the seamers too, surely, Robinson could do well with movement off the seam.

 

[Titanic]

Jimmy Anderson reverse sweeping for four

Robinson can bowl spin as well

 

[CHAPPERS]

Love a Mark Wood cameo

 

[The Wizard]

Wood going mental, five fours in his last 8 balls faced

 

[Simster]

Enjoyable spot of biffing here from Wood

 

[Titanic]

England 281 all out (51.4 overs, RR 5.43)

Abrar Anhed 22 - 1 - 114 - 7

 

[Bold Seagull]

281. It's still in the game.

Jimmy, Robinson, Wood and Stokes may have their work cut out.

FFS.

I assume they're counting Jacks, since he took 6 in the last game.
This... may prove to be ambitious.
Notwithstanding Wood's 36, this is the sort of situation which I had in mind a few days ago when I wrote that you couldn't pick a balanced side with Robinson, Wood, Leach and Anderson at the same time.

 

[Bold Seagull]

Jimmy seems happy enough with the surface...

 

[Gwylan]

Kadabra has SEVEN, when was the last time a bowler took all 10 wickets?

Not long ago - December 2021 when Ajaz Patel took 10 against India ... and was dropped for the next test

 

[Gwylan]

I see that the other Travis Head has got a daddy ton for Australia, following his 99 in the first test. Why didn't Sussex get this one?
