Afridi was injured obviously, not sure if too many here believe player/management is currently in good stead.

Think the Sri Lanka series KP was in absolute godmode

In years to come Anderson will get no credit for this series no matter what he does because the mantra will be that Pakistan are at a low ebb.
Not in 2018 (five years after his last Test). He got a 151 there in 2012.

yeah that was in 2012 when he played 3 atg test knocks in the space of seven months.
151 v sri lanka in colombo
149 v south africa in leeds (the innings where he treated steyen and morkel like filthy county trundlers and called james taylor a manlet)
186 v india in mumbai
arguably the three best knocks of any player that year. proper mental batting.

I think it was a great win for England. Shows that having more than one type of arrow in the quiver is crucial across conditions as a bowling attack. They still lack a proper 2nd spinner and Jacks has somehow not improved as I thought he could, or was not given the ball at all. Either way, England should look to blood some players in the third test.
For Pakistan, there has been quite a bit of good here. Saud shows that dropping Fawad may not have been such a big mistake afterall. I am still not sure of their spinners and the 6th batter but there is enough to work with. They should curbstomp NZ.
Of course, to actually achieve their potential they need to fire Rambo and find an actually competent Chief Executive/Chairman.

Regarding the dismissal, I do think some part of the ball may have grazed the turf but its also what foreshortening always makes it seem like. I have not seen the Root catch but quite a few comparisons to it on twitter.

unless someone is properly crocked, not sure why england would make any changes for the last test.
they don't play again until feb when they go to new zealand and their bowling attack inevitably gets blunted.

Lost pace, isn't lethal at international level anymore. On the other hand he was still economical even without the extra yard of pace, could be useful against this england lineup, try and force them to make a mistake vs the other bowlers.

Bazball in New Zealand will be very interesting to say the least, as will the ashes no doubt. Ireland on the other hand won't know what hit them.

I'm not sure they will either but I'd like a more normal XI with a wicketkeeper in it as oppose to Will Jacks being the Bez of the team

Very good indeed, and I don't even like the Happy Mondays. Sounds like an idea for a new thread ...

Yeah, assuming NZ have their front line bowlers should be interesting.
