lapal_fan Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 Surely he must be the most improved player of the year. Absolutely outstanding from him. Showing Broad up! watch him get 150 with the bat too 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 Yes he's always been good from when i first saw him at 16 but he has put on a yard of pace. This wicket has got quicker! I really think we could have their work cut out today batting against their quicks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowychap Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 He's done well since he came back in to the side (especially as he didn't always seem to be rewarded for good bowling against Sri Lanka). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 (edited) This is once again showing how poor England are against quality spin. This is Lords 2n day pitch ffs. Edited July 15, 2016 by PaulC 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is bloody good to be fair. I doubt any of them would have faced a leggy of his quality very often. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 I know he's the best leg spinner I have seen since Shane Warne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 havent seen Pakistan play a Test match in a while, didnt expect them to be this good so far. Usually they are so unpredictable in the field Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapal_fan Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 I hate Gary Ballance. Look at my previous posts about him. How he keeps getting picked, I have no idea. That is all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted July 16, 2016 Moderator Share Posted July 16, 2016 This one's moving away from England. Pakistan have to be big favourites at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 yeah cant see England chasing 250 here and Pakistan moving along nicely at moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Anything over 200 and England won't chase it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andym Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 10 wickets in the match for Chris Woakes. Hes playing really well at the moment. A very poor drop by Bairstow earlier, hes not that great with the gloves really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Yeah Pakistan will win but delighted that Woakes has got 10 wickets in a match. Top stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andym Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 another wicket for Woakes so 5 for in this innings as well. One of the worst reviews you will ever see by the batsmen though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted July 16, 2016 Moderator Share Posted July 16, 2016 Great from Woakes but England will be chasing 300+ it'll be a hell of an effort to win this one. Should be a good watch tomorrow though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Its a great test match. Woakes deserves to be on the winning side. Don't like Englands middle order. Really never thought Vince was a test match batsman and will Bairstow be able to curb his natural agression against Shah. I think England are losing this match.

Zatman Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 what a match, best Test match I saw in ages and that is mainly down to Pakistan. too many teams come to England and dont have the heart for a fight hopefully the series continues like this game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is all. Yes but he was picked for England to bat at 3 when he has always batted at 5 for his county. Despite that for a while he still averaged over 50 for England and still averages nearly 48 for England so its understandable that want him back in the team. I look at Vince and Hales and I see one day players not test match cricketers. I agree Zatman, the Sri Lanka series was so predicatble and one-sided it was boring, this match was brilliant, even on a very poor wicket. When you get wickets where a bowler bowls high 80s and the edges dont even carry to slip, its a shocker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
