    West Indies vs Pakistan in UAE 2016

    Pakistan were clearly paying attention to England's batting masterclass from the other day. If Windies win this game the Test cricketing world must surely have turned upside down.

    Ishant Sharma. It seems preposterous that he should actually celebrate taking a wicket in anything but the most humble manner.

    You're correct: a 'developing side' has every right to throw its wickets away and give the appearance of wanting to be anywhere but the playing field. England made South Africa look a lot worse than they are? Perhaps England have sought to make Rabada look a lot better than he is in turn.

    People actually paid money to watch this capitulation. When England do poor they really do grovel.

    Shame on England for this lily-livered surrender. Each Test match should be like a series in itself, not something you just approach half-heartedly.

    Yup, the settled batting line-up of Strauss, Cook, Trott, Pietersen, Bell, Collingwood and Prior with each averaging over 40 does look like a little golden age. They never beat South Africa though.

    Times have changed for the better then. The dead rubber in a major series used to be the only game England would win.

    Retirements That Hurt

    West Indies lost Greenidge, Richards, Marshall and Dujon pretty much in one go around 1991. They were all past their prime but there weren't any better replacements.

    It would have been more in true England style to be 10/3 and then reach the target without further loss but maximising the anxiety of their supporters.

    I couldn't imagine the Australians being in quite such a good mood in a similar situation. It would be all sullen body language and grumbling, and quite rightly so.

    There are a lot of smiles amongst the South African players for a team who are being humiliated at home in front of a full house. Curious.

    Is McCullum heading for Shahid Afridi levels of batting ridiculousness?
