This is getting a little worrying now, If Ireland get 150+ run lead we may crumble and would not be surprised to lose from here

pure bastey on the cards here.

How does a donkey like Rahat keep getting a recall

I’d rather have Wahab back.

At least our batting will get some more practice.

Why not Hasan Ali? okay I know he's more of a One day and T20 player but can still see him doing something in tests.

He probably doesn't have nudes of Inzi like Rahat does. Awful bowler. Average of 39 in tests

Ffs typical Pakistan.

Not the practice we wanted for them.... completely different game if we bat again and knock some runs off and increase the lead..... the top 4 is fragile as fexk.
No team in the world would have enforced that follow on. Only Pakistan.

This is now becoming a healthy lead.

Was a pathetic decision by Sarfaraz to put them back in. Like A14 said no one does this anymore.

We will probably be hanging on for a humiliating draw tomorrow.

Pakistan in trouble, two down.

Said a few days ago that we shouldn’t have played them given our history of shockers. On top of that we enforced the follow on.... hope these guys get on the next plane home. Embarrassing.

Make that three, bloody ell

Shocking stuff from us again.

First impressions: Imam-ul-Haq shouldn't be getting a game ahead of Sami Aslam.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Sticking by that one kash. Fair play to him and Azam though for the recovery, came in under pressure. Ireland bowlers superb first up with the new ball but then offer naff all.

Azhar Ali has been crap for so long. Same as Sarfraz who struggled big time with the bat since becoming captain. Both of their positions should be under threat.

Azhar needs to bat at 3. He is not an opener but it seems he will play against England as an opener.

Agreed about Sarfaraz who has been poor with the bat of late.

Sarfraz again.....

As Sarfraz and Azhar won’t be dropped I would have went into the England series with this lineup:

Fakhar Zaman
Imam Ul-Haq
Azhar Ali
Babar Azam
Fawad Alam
Asad Shafique
Sarfraz Ahmed
Mohammed Amir
Hasan Ali
Mohammed Abbas
Junaid/Sohail Khan

It will be the same team though against England with the hopeful exception of Rahat being sent to the sewers and dropped for Yasir. Once thing Yasir would do is wipe out the tail with his reverse swing.

* meant Hasan Ali not Yasir

Yasir

Looks like that lad has been living in KFC for the last 12 months, can’t see him coming back in anytime soon . Hasan for Rahat probably only likely change.

Young team, gotta give them time. Hope we are competitive against England and give them a game. Can’t see us winning.

I like the look of Pakistan team lineup as suggested by T L L L.I would like to add that Aizaz Cheema is a better test bowler than Rahat Ali or Muhammad Abbas.

Kash, you gona update this thread to pak v England?

I hope Pakistan can compete in this series, would be a disaster if they get hammered in both tests.

Got a feeling we’re gonna get slaughtered. England should prepare proper batting pitches because our batsman won’t last long on even a flat track. Don’t rate our batsman at all.

Think we gotta keep our expectations real here. Some of the lads are newbies and even the experienced are nothing compared to some of the English players. Let’s just hope we compete.

Last 20 tests we either win or lose - mainly lose. So can’t see a draw anywhere
