Test Pakistan v England (3 Test Matches)

[Bradesmaen]

Harry "by Hook or by Crook" Brook. 300 in that one innings but absolutely woeful as soon as there is any ball movement. The flattest of flat track bullies to ever play the game.

 

[stax on the mull]

Just noticed while looking for some music clips that this game is being broadcast live and free on youtube channel PCB Sports Central if anyone who who doesn't have subscription wants to watch.

Was just about to comment England 221/6, nz 221/6

But just as soon as I spotted it we lost another bloody wicket. Told you I was a jinx

Lunch looks good in Rawalpindi.

What's the record for the longest opening spell of bowling in history?

Not sure but joey palmer’s 58 overs unchanged with Edwin Evans has to be up there. Was probably 4 ball overs back then but still impressive

Australia beat England, Australia won by 5 wickets

AUS 197 & 169/5 vs ENG 133 & 232 - Australia won by 5 wickets in Sydney, England tour of Australia 1881, February 17 - 21, 1882

Ffs Jamie smith another 90

England did well to reach 267.

Jamie Smith has played some handy knocks early in his Test career.

 

[MJG14]

Noman and Sajid with 9 wickets between them, close to the 10 again.

It was established that there have been a few instances of two players taking all 20 wickets in the match, including some high profile cases. Would be interesting to know if (or how often) the same two bowlers have taken all wickets in three consecutive innings.

That's a stinker

Ffs Jamie smith another 90

89 now. Swear blind cricinfo said he was out for 91

Edit: the cricinfo guys were on top of it. Commentary says over 58.4 was a four to Smith which was originally scored as a six

 

[hawkman]

Unusual for Stokes to be so passive with his field and bowling changes

 

[MJG14]

Great partnership between Saud Shakeel and Noman Ali to get it level when it looked unlikely.

 

[Rabish Binney]

Entertaining period here for Pakistan….

 

[corbies]

Tubthumping certainly an interesting choice for between overs music in Pakistan.

 

[MJG14]

Great knock from Saud.

 

[hawkman]

Looked like a no ball

 

[Rabish Binney]

Looked like a no ball

I thought the same…..

 

[010203]

Duckett out LBW on review for an LBW that I gave out live.

 

[MJG14]

This umpire Saikat is terrible.

 

[hawkman]

Duckett out LBW on review for an LBW that I gave out live.

I guess the umpire forgot it was a hobbit on strike

 

[010203]

Crawley gone (LBW) and so is an English review.

 

[Rabish Binney]

Righteo Poms, let’s see your famous Bazball now….

 

[hawkman]

Missed 2 balls that did absolutely nothing. Imagine if they get one to spin

 

[010203]

Big risk from Root to play back there.

 

[BStaff17]

Pakistan/New Zealand on top

Do we dare the dream of the perfect double England/India losing test series together.
