England vs Pakistan

[Hollowman]

Bad light is for the gays. They have helmets these days. Should play till it's pitch.

[Reece]

3 wickets in 6 balls

[Hollowman]

You have to respect Pakistan's ability to make any opposition collapse look like a colossal innings.

[Reece]

Is it that the pitch is ideal for bowling, the Pakistan batsmen are ****, England's bowlers are really good, or a mixture of all three?

[Shaggy]

The Pakistan top order is diabolical. They've got Younis Khan and Mo Yousuf doing **** all while these walking wickets are in the side.

Exactly. Take out your best batsmen and play kids who aren't good enough in a test match. Makes loads of sense.

Poor decision making all round

Aye, those two are two of the best around, anywhere in the world. Love watching them play. Joke what's going on with those two. Pakistani cricket is such a ****ing shambles at times...it's like a soap opera, or worse, watching a car crash. It wouldn't be the same if it all ran smoothly.

Despite missing those players I would still have expected a better performance from the top order.

This is just beyond embarrassing now.... Pakistan 37-5...........

[spud_gun]

This is bordering on contempt for test cricket.

[Tee]

50-8....... this is just unacceptable and I feel for those cricket fans who pay good money to watch international test cricket and have to watch this shambles from a supposed test playing nation. I am truly lost shocked.....

There is a school of thought that yesterdays apparent late declaration by England was in part a commercial decision.

Had the game not gone to a 4th day the ECB would have lost a fortune.

This is a piss take!

That's bull****. The declaration came as soon as Prior made his century stroke. Any player in such a situation would expect to be allowed to make his ton.

Of course it's bull****.

The ECB wouldn't dare exhort any sort of pressure on the England management in order to prolong a test match for financial gain.

No sir that would never happen.
