[King-Gutho94]

Pakistan have dropped there 2 quicks in Shaheen Afridi and Naseem Shah.

Clearly England making 823 on a highway was a good enough to dump them.

Politics and Pakistan Cricket.

How about they actually produce a pitch that suits there squad.

They have genuine quick bowlers produce a greentop or something they can use to there advantage.

 

[TheParraboy]

Pakistan drop Shaheen, Naseem alongside Babar for next two Tests

Called up are the uncapped Kamran Ghulam, Haseebullah and spinner Mehran Mumtaz, as well as seasoned spinners Sajid Khan and Noman Ali

[AlwaysGreen]

Ghulam to debut as Pakistan stack XI with spinners for second Test

Pakistan will turn up with just one fast bowling option in Aamer Jamal

[Bazal]

Wtf Naseem was the only bowler trying I thought. It's lik they've picked a side aimed at bowling 200 overs

I wonder if Pakistan can score 650+ and lose by an innings this time?

 

[AlwaysGreen]

How does Aleem Dar get on their selection panel?

Shows how neutral he was during his umpiring days...

 

[Bazal]

To be fair to Aleem he was nowhere near competent enough as an umpire to successfully have a bias towards anyone

 

[TheParraboy]

Kinda hoping poms bat first and put on 700 on day 1

Is that bad?

 

[TheParraboy]

Pakistan won toss and chose to .....

Spoiler

[Bazal]

Please score 650 and then be in the field until lunch on day five and still lose by an innings.

No love for England but for the chaos, man...

 

[TheParraboy]

Kinda wanting Pakistan to be all out for under 100 tbh

England 700, and win in two days

Focus our attention on the India v NZ test, which hopefully will be better viewing

 

[Bazal]

I dunno man some sick part of me would like to see 1000 runs and this is the game for that lol

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Pakistan 5/259 @ stumps.

Kamran Golem with a century on debut.

 

[Bazal]

This Potts fella looks like a council estate chav who got a private school scholarship because of the Principals 'relationship' with his mum

 

[Bazal]

my two year old just saw Jack Leach, said "ooh! He got no hair!" And laughed

The Parra is strong with him.

 

[Bazal]

The Parra is strong with him.

And f**k I hope not, poor little thing. No one deserves that except El Diablo

 

[Bazal]

Hahahahahahahah Sajid FFS

Masood knew it as well, he got up him a little before it even went upstairs and Sajid had the bald-headed audacity to blow up.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

So Gollum scored a hundred for Pakistan, now the Goblin has scored one for England.
Pakistan 366
England 6/239, 127 behind.
