3rd Test: England v Pakistan at Sharjah on Nov 1-5, 2015

[TheParraboy]

while cooky and root are there, there is a slim chance for the poms

only 238 to go, with a full days play

could come down to the wire, or Pakistan will roll them

 

[Red Bear]

Unlikely they drop Bell before the Saffa series, given they dont want even more inexperience against those bowlers, but he's gotta be on notice.

Pakistan continue to play really good test cricket, particularly in the UAE. Been a very good series

 

[Buzzard Breath]

England won't get the target. It may come down to stubborn resistance down the lower order to dead bat this one out. I think Pakistan will win before tea.

Bell's played 13 test this year for a crappy average of 25.95. Take out his only ton for the year against the Windies and his average drops to 20. He has had 6 scores of one and 3 quackers. Time to go.

England have run up the white flag at 5/58

 

[Rabbits20]

ENG 9/150.

Cook just dismissed for a very gutsy gritty 63 off 164 balls.

Cook can hold his head high. He's had a very good series.

 

[chigurh]

Pakistan win and move to #2 in the rankings.

 

[Rabbits20]

Well done to Pakistan.

Yasir Shah played in 2 of the tests and took 15 wickets. He is man of the series.

For the poms imo Bairstow isn't up to it. His test average is only 26 and he only has 5 fifties from 34 innings.

Moeen Ali isn't an opener either. He needs to go back to being no 7 or no 8.

I. Bell has been a good cricketer but his time is up.

Buttler struggles with the bat too.

The Poms have issues finding a WK who can bat.

The Poms have quite a few issues.




Poms now ranked 6th in test cricket:lol::lol:

 

[Twizzle]

Pakis are now at No 2

Why cant we play them instead of the f**king Windies ? Would be a fantastic series and Khan is one of my fav batsmen to watch

How did we let the Pommy Plodders beat us??? Misbah has done a fantastic job moulding a team that doesn't get to play at home.

Both these teams have beaten you easily outside Australia... maybe you aren't as well rounded as you like to think?

Because your lot are flat track bullies that can't handle decent seam,swing or spin bowling or pitches that require batsmen to have patience.

New account Tommy?

New account Tommy?

I am my own man don't confuse me with someone else. Just because you can't take criticism about your cricket team.

Weird that we utterly pumped you guys on flat Australian wickets...weird.

And your mob can't do shit on decent cricket wickets. Another away series loss for you With an ageing attack and top order. No keeper or spin bowler of any note. I know who will win more games of cricket continuing into the future and it's not your boring mob of Plods.

Didn't realise he supported the poms. How unfortunate.

What do expect when your 2 opening bowlers are seam and swing bowlers. They are not going to do much on flat decks are they? just make the home side that are use to the conditions look good.

Neither can yours. They constantly lose in England, India, UAE on any pitch that requires morons to think before they swing the willow.

You have no spinner or keeper of note just honest plodders. Your golden years are over. You have lost 5 of the past 7 ashes series.
Any decent pace attack or a quality spin bowler on a turning deck or seaming deck would easily rip apart your fragile top order.
Like it has done so in Trent Bridge what an embarrassment.
I don't give a stuff a about losing a test series against Pakistan away.
The team is rebuilding and will take time and they will lose in South Africa but it won't bother me.
At least we still hold the Ashes

 

[Pete Cash]

Broad was fine down here....we can't change atmosphere conditions in Australia lmao. It's just a dry country. Johnson took like 40 wickets on those flat wickets.

 

[Hutty1986]

Haven't India won or drawn something like 30 of their past 35 series at home? Looks like everyone struggles to win there. I like it how the downtrodden pom has left out our exceptional record at the home of the #1 side in the world-SA.

 

[hineyrulz]

When you beat us twice 5-0 in England come back to us :lol:

Lyon is light years ahead of any of the trundlers you have in England. Our glory years might be past us but we will be back to the top before your mob do. One half decent batsman and two ageing quicks your side is shit.
