I want pooks to win to bust the bubble of Jhaant ball as well as overhyped Dabar, Sofaset and Uncle Naseem.

Against any spinner actually, he was dismissed almost every time by a spinner in the last series?

Bumrah got him a bunch of times.still i think England will win this Test easily.

Is there any more overhyped cricketer than Ben C**d. Can someone score his match changing or winning inning outside of england…. He scored a 200 in sa on ultra flat pitch and i believe one century in aus. Other than that what are his best performance in Asia , wi, nz and aus.

Nothing with ball as well. Ghante ka AR. Root has better AR creds. 

[Gollum]

Stokes' gimmicky field setting is another overrated Sky media creation, hyped even by coolies like Sanju Manju. 

 

Costs Eng more than providing any benefits. Jaiswal toyed with this chwtiyapa whole series, and Pooks here. India, Aus quietly go about their business, and enjoy greater success.

*ers will bring up the BS about toss when/if they lose butt butt when they win; after winning the toss, they've overcome oh so alien conditions & won against all odds 

 

Even when they're playing IPL & so many tests/ODI here regularly!

It's not a "win" for Pak even if they win this. 

 

 

The fact that they've had to rely on playing on a used wicket plus have the luck of winning the toss should make them hang their heads in shame. 

 

That is if they've got any of that left.

dont count the chickens,Poms have 4 wickets let and Pakistan have yet to bat,we all know how poor they bat in the 2nd innings.I would be beyond shocked if England dont win this.

Chor (i.e. Eng) ke ghar me chori is fine as far as I'm concerned. You're forgetting how they're manipulating tests in England by constantly whinging/changing balls after their bowlers can't get wickets?

[Gollum]

If they cut deficit to 50 runs, I foresee a 3rd innings collapse, 140 all out. Eng will edge the win in that case. 

[Gollum]

Both teams playing with 10 men. 

 

Bashir and Zahid, how they are playing internationals is beyond me.

Stokes the great AR. Better than Jadeja as per some ICFers @Lord

 

English players get more hype in general when they are any good.  Stokes is not really up to the hype as an all rounder and is arrogant and full of tantrums on top of it. I  would rather play flintoff  as an all rounder if I were choosing an English team post 2000. 

 

He is doing less than 2 wickets per test while Jadeja is doing 4 wickets per test. This while Jadeja has better average with the bat now. At this point Stokes is just a batting all rounder who is not reliable with either bat or ball.

I still think England has upper hand.If they keep lead close to 50 runs then Pakistan will crumble.

yes Eng could have played Adil bhai or Parkinson. Root is better spinner than Bashir

That's what I meant. But typed it wrong. lol.

 

4 to 4 wickets would be even comparison.

England is playing with 9 players.His captaincy is very overrrated .He has too many chamchas like Naseer in SKY sports and in India he had Manju.

Even Pope is rubbish.

[Strangering]

Pakistan is firmly in the driving seat. I don't expect England's tail to survive for very long tomorrow morning. 

 

Shan Masood might have his first (big) win. 

 

So far, the changes have paid off in both batting and bowling.

I still think Stokes has ability to succeed in India/Asia also.He had too many injuries, his body is giving up on him.
