England vs Pakistan series - EXCLUSIVE

this thread

Oh dear, another loser who has nothing decent to say.

A bit like the Pakistani's over the last few days. Real losing mentality.

This really is a shameful performance by so many. Some lackluster bowling lacking effort followed by some shocking batting. How on earth did Pak win the 1st test match???

England bowlers applied pressure with the main strike bowlers going at a miserly RR. Going at 4rpo is asking for trouble.

Going at 4 an over is only acceptable if you are regularly taking wickets. I can see days n this series when England will score 400 runs in a day.

Still on my hols (it's a hard life sometimes) and didn't even realise this match had even started. Good first day for Pakistan. They just have to fight hard to get a decent enough lead. If they bat two days, they win this game.

What a bunch of spineless cowards Pakistan are. This is not a 134-7 pitch. Not at all. I've been banging on that you can't go for 4 an over and let your tail score poorly and expect to get away with it.

Slumming it in Dubai so I haven't said much about the last test so far. After 5 weeks away, looks like I missed the worst of Pakistan's cricket.

England really were let off the hook yesterday. Watching the game at Al Ibrahimi's, England got out of jail with Moeen Ali leading the breakout.

Pak done well to get to lunch only losing Yasir Shah. The next two sessions will make or break this test match. Get to the close around 300-4 and Pak will be well in the driving seat. A big lead is required to win this game. Misbah needs to score a ton in his last test in England.

Pak starting to throw this away again.

Who'd have thought Pak could get away with a 2-2 draw in the series? England looked far better on paper. One stupid capitulation on the final day on test 3 cost Pak the series.
