I dont think they will play a flat wicket, pak bowlers are more adept like we saw in lords, if pak win second game it will be a major achievement. LORD_analyst and UrmiSinhaRay 1 1 Link to comment
MSD11 Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 This young Pakistani team looks like they have done their homework. Seems like a very disciplined side compared to the teams of the past. England is gonna have a hard time coming back from the beating they took in the first test UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment
Scar Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Playing LOIs before tests is a serious crime, mainly because of the bad habit that barge-in nimble footed in players shot selection. It's not easy to switch your mindset while playing different formats. You would be tempted to drive the length ball, dab the ball to third man and so on. Especially kohli, who have this tendency and might bring his falll this summer as well. Hope that's not the case. UrmiSinhaRay and Gollum 1 1 Link to comment

Whilst ours players were busy with vivo stylish awards, the Pakistan team were busy practicing on green wickets in the Gaddafi stadium, playing test match vs Ireland and warm ups vs county sides. What will we warm up with? i) low grade cricket tamasha league ii) Useless test vs Afghanistan iii) 3 t20s iv) 3 ODIs BCCI, you and your p*ss poor planning will bring shame to the nation and for 2 successive summers, Pakistan will have the upper hand over India. You Bhaboos thought you were clever by undermining tests and milking money with t20is. Look where your greed will get you? Will your board positions be tenable after 2 successive summers of humiliation. Move quick, rectify the problem now, before its too late. What's with all the drama? Why would we be laughing stock of the world? We're number #1 because of kicking ass, not ICC were feeling generous. Pakistan got to be ranked 8th by being a laughing stock Link to comment

He doesn't deserve spots in ODI and T20 XIs but has consistently performed in the test arena. He is ranked no 5 as a bowler and our greatest match winner of all time (7 MOS, highest by any Indian cricketer), how is that crap? By your logic 9 out of 11 test players are rubbish.

Moochad Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 premature Overreaction I think. Again, winning in a 2-3 test series is not the same as winning in a proper test series of 4-5 matches. They are just not comparable. Pakistan can celebrate the achievement surely, but it doesn't reflect on our team as our challenge is much greater! Switchblade 1 Link to comment
asterix Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Lose to lower rank England, our position will soon change.You shouldn’t expect too much from Team India... Rankings keep on changing...After a thought and draining season of IPL, let the players relax, take some time off & enjoy the England tour. The pitches are best for teams visiting now. It has happened many times. By the time India tour starts, the pitches settle and Home team too warns up and ready regain lost ground to teams visiting now... Switchblade 1 Link to comment

YCCC Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Don't worry you'll both win the series. There's only one laughing stock of world cricket. Well two if you count Australia as well with the tampering. LORD_analyst and Gollum 2 Link to comment
Gollum Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 (edited) Aaj kal Pakistaniyon ka zabaan bahut chal raha hai. When are these guys next touring Australia to get their routine reality check? BTW will CA ever invite them again considering the fact that they have lost every single match there in the last 20 years ?

His game has really gone down. Even in the last test if I recall he did not do much. Currently there are lot of players who are outperforming him. Link to comment
