**Official** Pakistan in England 2019

[smash84]

Yes, I really don't see the point of sending a tried and tested failure like Yasir shah (LO failure) for the world cup. Pakistan squad is just awful.

 

[Borges]

Don't let Yasir Shah out of Asia. For any form of cricket.

He was actually decent in England last time. Helped Pakistan win 2 tests.

Yasir was never good at 20 20 or one day format everyone knows that, Pakistan where better of select Nawaz

The message is quite clear. England batting order is frighteningly good. Who would have thought that after the 2015 world cup ? Real hope for the opposition lies in cashing in on an off day and hope that it is a knockout game. I think England should look at playing their best 5 bowlers always as this seems to be an area where some improvement is needed. Batting beyond no.6 may not be needed on most days.

Batting beyond 6 is still strong though with the likes of Willey, Plunkett, Archer, Woakes, Moeen, Rashid all in and around the squad. Plenty of extra hitting power in there. Important we pick Archer to give us some extra bowling strength, no idea who drops out.

 

[trundler]

Bat him 3 or 4 I say

Was going to say Plunkett or Willey then I realised that Wood is still in the 15 so it’s a no-brainer.

Most of our quicks are pretty ordinary; I wouldn't miss any of Woakes, Plunkett or Willey.

Right on cue, Woakes trundles a half tracker on his return. I think the bloke on cricinfo was being generous when he described Woakes' opening spell as 'a little off colour'. This is pretty much what he does nowadays isn't it?


Pakistan pissing this now. Well batted n' all, but our bowling's been pathetic. It's hard to see how any of Archer, Curran and Wood would be a worse bet than this lot.

He is the new Saeed Anwar is Fakhar

I think you and I jinxed him. Anyway, he's gone now, so maybe England can rein this in.

 

[slippy888]

Asif Ali looks a misunderstood cricketer

 

[trundler]

That innings was trolling reality and reason, really.

 

[slippy888]

Only Pakistan could lose this from cruising to famous win

 

[slippy888]

England team looks defeated here you can tell by the sad player faces

 

[smash84]

Pakistan can never really recover as soon as a well settled batsman falls. It's been a serious problem for a very long time

 

[smash84]

And it doesn't seem like the wickets will be very sporting this time around for the world cup. Mcroady roads seem like the standard wickets being served.

 

[slippy888]

The bowling attack england have is average

You talk such ****e.
