Root said it is due to the new Dukes ball which was jagging in sharply.

Same/similar balls that are used in pak domestics and WI intnl tests.

Whoa this Razaullah has some attitude not bad, nowadays you rarely see a Pak fast bowler showing emotion.

Do you think Pak has any chance here? Like if they manage to take a lead of 15-175, anything can happen in 4th innings?

No. They don't. They usually lose wickets in clumps

Yep Shami was short & skiddy so was Umesh but these guys Always had average outings in England.

 

This Razaullah cannot get good batters out on shorter balls as it would sit up nicely.

Umran had similar problems.

 

Shami and Umesh are not the type of bowlers that razaullah is. He has more roundarm and slingy kind of a bowler.

 

Umran issue is just overall that he does not get much movement of pitch and in the Air, and he has not played much red-ball cricket to talk about movement.

May be he is more suited to red-ball with his skill and extra pace. In white-ball there was no natural movement for him.

 

Razaullah looked like was bowling full tilt in the 1st spell, do not want to be over-critical as this is 1st game most likely being asked to bowl fast. He bowled as if he is in one of those fast bowling talent hunt or in the camps where on some days they want to see how fast a bowler can bowl regardless the line-length.

 

He would need that extra yard of pace to be  successful , else he will have issues. Old style bowling does not work anymore, need to have stock ball.

1stly the yorker zone is reduced to a v.small box, and then batters are able to play pace and yorkish length better and the ball does not move that much these days.

Not surprising. It's day 3 right now and should be the best conditions for batting

Pitch is getting better that's why pooks build partnership good opportunity for babu to score some runs and give orgasam to peepee people

This joker Archer is overhyped. So much for comparing him with Bumrah

[vvvslaxman]

Lesser bounce. No wonder pakistan has survived this long.

Archer is one of the most overrated Test bowlers going around A 28 average despite bowling most of his Tests in England tells you everything Bumrah averages 19 Archer isn’t even in the same league as Bumrah
