What a horrendous advert for test cricket. Bat v Ball balance just isn't conducive for good cricket
Really? A bit like balance of England home series when they skittle the Aussies, Indians or Pakistanis in 2.5 days? Some very hypocritical views on here... When the going gets tough, the toys are thrown out of the pram....
Grind em down...
You've got to love some of the comments from commentators and England fans alike, they are getting a grilling and roasting because they can't bowl spin or reserve swing..... Rather than concentrate of their fundamental weaknesses they choice to offer very ill-informed and poor excuse.... Toss, balance isn't right, not enough fans, boring and so on..... Time they showed a bit of class and appreciated they've been outplayed. To date.
Bat on.... Declare at 600
Stokes is bowling off-spin
Before anyone complains about the pitch, lets see England bat on it
If Pakistan have create a wicket which assists the spinners, then so be it. England haven't a leg to stand on with that argument.
Now if they had players who could bat\bowl spin, then this would be a different game.
If England have a shortage of skills in their team, they can't really blame that on the pitch, curators etc..
Sarfraz gone... I think it's getting exciting now
Staring at the pitch because he got out for 2...
It's very difficult to lose if you bat first on pitches in the UAE. The scoreboard pressure will be too much for England, regardless of how good the pitch is to bat on.
Right time for a gorgeous Cook 200 and an attacking 100 from Moeen
Grind em into the earth boys, lets get 700.
If England get 700, I'll leave this site!
No problem, knock off a quick 50 tonight. 300 tomorrow and 300 Friday, then skittle them for 150 on Saturday.
23 overs to play... Let's get two out tonight....
