RangersMedia 35,961 Posted August 5, 2016 Author Share Posted August 5, 2016 Fantastic collapse from us. England have cleared the deficit with no loss of a wicket so it's all to play for now but slightly in England's favour I would suggest. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Borefest but England's priority here has to be to bat until the game cannot be won by Pakistan. The magic 300 number will do that. They need another 100 here, I think. Tomorrow, they can then have a go at Pakistan. Scoreboard pressure is the only thing that's going to win this game for England though. Pitch isn't upto much. sandyinroyalblue 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creampuff 22,628 Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Pakistan in a good position, but again they've not really taken advantage of the position they had. Tomorrow morning should be good for batting, so a three figure lead well within their reach. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandyinroyalblue 16,478 Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Overall if Pakistan win this a drawn series would be a fair result,I haven't seen much of this test but a poor session on Thursday looks like it cost England the game and one poor session here and there seems to have cost both teams in this series.

A pretty fair analysis of the series. Not much between these 2 teams - a drawn series for Pakistan would be excellent in England after all the question marks over our batting ability etc Plus if we draw the series and Sri Lanka beat Aus in their test we go number 1 in the world!!!! sandyinroyalblue 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've got the Windies in the UAE next month and judging by the way they've played Indian spin on home soil...they're going to struggle massively in the UAE. After that it's a very tough tour of NZ and Aus. Excited! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuck in the 90s whilst everyone else has moved on to "modern" cricket with power hitting and tons of variations in bowling. The test team is completely different to the ODI team!

Embarrassingly though, if we're still in 9th place by the end of Sept this year, we'll have to go through the qualifying rounds for the world cup with all the minnows of the world - Netherlands, UAE, Namibia etc. Outrageous.

CF2 WINNIE 1,006 Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Completely forgot about this thread. Been enjoying ODI series some excellent batting from England. Have to say though the standard of the Pakistani fielding is nothing short of diabolical.

Has been the case my whole life watching Pakistan but the difference in the 90s and 00s was we used to win IRRESPECTIVE of awful fielding because we had some unbelievable match winners in the team.

In modern cricket fielding is so much more important with powerplays etc good fielding can take 30/40 runs every innings and vice versa shite fielding gives away needless runs Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
