Super Posted August 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2016 Looking at this pitch going to be a low scorer. England 3 down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmersonsRed Posted August 3, 2016 Report Share Posted August 3, 2016 Disagree. Anything under 350/400 is a bad score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry mate but this was always an awful shout. This was a bat first wicket, as they've explained Pakistan chose to bowl due to stats. This is a case of our "new" brand of cricket not working. Attacking isn't always the option. We left the ball awfully and they've done it brilliantly.We should've looked to post 350-400 comfortably.

Well I wasn't england to bowl so poorly and drop catches. massive wicket at the end and England can still limit them to around a 100 lead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Posted August 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2016 Amazing how they bowl so well to get the top order out by pitching it up then bowl short rubbish at the tail. Bizarre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esmond Million's Bung Posted August 7, 2016 Report Share Posted August 7, 2016 At stumps last night I felt draw all day long but as I have already alluded to I couldn't get out of my mind, I wouldn't be at all surprised by Pakistan 'losing' the game.
