2020 Pakistan tour of England (3 Tests, 3 T20Is)

[010203]

England in a bit of strife now. I like the look of Pope but he's got a job on his hands here.

 

[Kapow!!!]

BIG wicket

 

[NSWCROW]

Holy s**t what a pill !!!

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Hard not to like Afridi, good competitor.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

And gee, Naseem still only 17 and Afridi only 20. These guys could be huge for the next decade plus.

 

[JezzasOnTheAsphalt]

Buttler may as well go ODI mode rather than waiting passively for the next one that’s going to misbehave off the wicket

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Buttler playing his shots, good to see. He should play his natural game more often.

* what a colasp

Not long after I say I like the look of Olly Pope, he gets out haha. There's been some top notch bowling by Pakistan. Richard Illingworth has done a good job so far. Richard Kettleborough, another quality umpire, is struggling a bit and I think his confidence has taken a knock.

 

[Shiv]

Liking the butler counter attack. Exciting finish coming up. Know the pakis will panic a bit and lose patience giving England some easy runs. England will get over confident and then boom, the pakis will pounce. Here we go lads!

There's the lucky break for butler

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Stop saying Wazz

 

[NYRB]

just came back. wowiee game is close again

 

[NYRB]

going to grab some maccas before tuning into final session.

 

[Seedsfan]

Pakistan are too nice, not ruthless enough. Woakes has struggled against short stuff yet they haven’t bounced him same with Broad in the first dig. You are hear to play test cricket bounce the campaigner

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Odd choice to kick off this session with Shadab

 

[NYRB]

+1 . So true. Can't count the number of times they have the game by the throat and let things slipped.

 

[boondy]

Scummy England have won this....

Nuh pakistan sill favourite . If Buttler Woakes still there with 50 to get then Its poms to lose .

You are right . Around the wicket short at Woakes almost had him 1st ball . Thats the Stokes bowling method . Thats what the Aussie quicks do .

 

[revo333]

Turned it on and nearly seen 3 wickets in 10 minutes. Need to break this partnership before it gets under 50.

 

[boondy]

Woakes will slash anything short . Will be slash or burn . Have to bowl short at him .

 

[royboy2]

How was that ball? Nearly took Jos' head off

 

[eddiesmith]

Someone grew up watching Haddin, just celebrate loudly when up to the stumps to try and con the umpire

Now burnt two reviews in two overs and none left, Paine like captaincy here

 

[royboy2]

I actually thought the same thing Re: sending Broad in next
