"Deep point is not a defensive position"

lmao try harder Nasser

Love a bespectacled cricketer. Adds an air of sophistication to the game.

I’d like to see Imam complete the bohemian look by smoking a pipe between overs

Lol yeah that was an odd piece of commentary tstl

Transparent attempt to spin a defensive field setting into somehow being an attacking move

 

[Chubb]

Yes but also Nasser habitually set a deep point as captain. I remember Channel 4 commentators criticising him for it.

 

[TheJediBrah]

So they should. It shows that you have no faith in your fast bowler, and/or that you're a coward

You guys are clearly from a nation that rarely has putrid fast bowlers

My opening bowler got hit for 2 sixes in his first over last weekend

I didn't put a deep point out though, I got a new bowler

Yikes who made you captain

I'm not really captain that was just the story

the part about the bowler getting hit for 2 sixes in his first over is true though

 

[Burgey]

Cheating bastards. You can’t trust them

This is the correct approach. Why would you keep a bowler on who goes for 12 in his first? Get him to fine leg for a look at himself

 

[chris.hinton]

England giving Pakistan some runs to make it competitive

 

[Daemon]

They’re gonna make Leach bowl till his arm drops off just to protect Anderson aren’t they

You mean someone like this?

 

[Burgey]

Exactly

 

[Gremlin]

Abdullah Shafique has the potential to become one of the great openers of the game.

 

[Burgey]

Anderson sledging is like getting a serve from one of the blokes from Steps

 

[BazBall21]

Do the umpires not enjoy cricket very much? Never seem to be able to get off quickly enough.

Weird innings this. England would be 500/8 by now.
