*Official* Pakistan in England 2020

[Uppercut]

I'm just glad unconscious bias tests don't usually include a part where it asks you whether a Pakistani batsman is about to get out. I'd be in serious trouble.

Look at that Younus Khan conversion rate though .

My keyboard just got sticky

Press the Shift key 5 times

Root now putting his Bess bowler on.

I'm loving this footwork from Babar. Makes me realise just how awful our guys were, hovering on the crease to bowling that's not even that quick.

Just love watching him bat.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Babar looks so alpha at the crease

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Ohhh Babar ??

Root now putting his Bess bowler on.

Not sure why at this stage. Surely Woakes and Archer are worth another go before the ball gets even older.

 

[trundler]

Obscenely good

 

[Beamer]

Though I'd add that at no point against us did Broad and Anderson bowl this badly. A lot of loose stuff is on offer. Fatigue perhaps?

Our guys are clearly not test cricket material. This is the real rest cricket batting

It's frighteningly obvious watching other teams isn't it?

I suppose it's Broad's third test in as many weeks. Only two in a row for Anderson though.

EDIT
Out of kindness, I didn't suggest that these guys are just better than yours, although you seem to have said it anyway.

Old men, pension them off, sack the commitee, etc, etc...

It looks like a better batting deck too tbf

No doubt Babar is a class above anything we can offer at the moment!

Is Babar. Is Good.

 

[honestbharani]

Babar has gone to the boundary an over mode now having done his getting the eye in phase. This will be awesome to watch. Although, I still think Shan is being unfairly overshadowed here. He is the Murali Vijay to Babar's Kohli, to draw a parallel to that 2014 Aussie tour by India.

It's been a while since a Pakistani batsman has made me feel confident
