*Official* Pakistan tour of Ireland, England and Scotland 2018

[Firebreaker]

FYI Sandeep Lamichhane becomes the first Nepalese player to play in the IPL....

The entire Nepal population are glued to their tv sets; even the sherpas at the first base camp of Everest.

Still won’t select a Pak player

Are you studying History in Uni?

Please do your research before replying to my posts young man. Or go chasing skirts

remember when richard used to say that tim murtagh is one of the players adding absolutely nothing to the county game.

Shadab is like Jason Gillespie versus Bangladesh.

Is he that rock solid?

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Rankin is ordinary,

Shadab is extraordinary

Ireland getting thwarted by the tail

Hopelessy optimistic prediction by me, as usual - maybe I should try gambhiring?

I assume you are English, you need to be Irish to gambhir properly. It must be your team for optimal results.

Another drop..

Faheem is really making them pay for it.

True, and the Irish blood in me is too thin to permit this

Ireland lloking like a club side now tbh - they've definitely lost the initiative

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

If Rankin was a great bowler, he would be a permanent fixture in England's side...

He's getting smashed

They've batted well. Not got bogged down at any stage. Sometimes Pakistan tend to get really stuck with the scoring rate but these two have shown a good mindset.

Fifty on debut for Thomson

So, no skills with the old ball?

Not having a proper spinner doesn't help

They don't have sandpaper in Ireland

I know Dockrell is crap these days but Pak sucks against SLAs. Ireland could have played him or even McBrine would have been a good inclusion

 

[Daemon]

Great day of cricket, thoroughly enjoyed that. Ireland will certainly pose a threat to plenty of nations at home for the next 1-2 years while their best players are still around.

Nowhere close to Gillespie's dead bat defence

I will try and catch the highlights later (I was sadomasochistic enough to have Derbyshire v Durham on instead!).
