[Cricket] England v Pakistan: 1st Test

[CHAPPERS]

Nice to see they still love a ridiculous appeal too.

 

[CHAPPERS]

Crikey where did that come from

 

[jakarta]

Hard to see how we will get 200 plus now.

 

[CHAPPERS]

Good session that. England probably have another 60-70 runs in them before Broad comes in and smashed them about a bit like.

Not great to see us under the pump but you have to doff your cap to how good Pakistan have been in this test - seriously impressive

They have. In recent years they've been really poor - some decent bowlers but the batters don't seemed to have fancied it. They look a much tougher proposition now.

Well this is a bit rubbish eh? Is it a contractual obligation that we piss away the First Test of every series?

 

[CHAPPERS]

Seems so doesn't it, there's definitely a question of mentality around this side that has always been there with Root as captain.

 

[CHAPPERS]

Jesus just seen the wickets seen lunch. What are we doing?

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Pakistan starting with a hundred run lead, 12/1. Last thing required is missing big chances. Stokes, not for the first time, diving across in front of first slip, to shell what would have been a dolly for root. Anderson not impressed.

 

[jakarta]

250 -260 would have had us is the game. Very unlikely now barring a Broad now & again performance...

 

[CHAPPERS]

Can't see how Rashid would bowl any more dross than Bess.

 

[The Wizard]

Woakes, sensational.

 

[jakarta]

175-4, could still be in it...

 

[keaton]

Holding on Sky Comms seems very confused by DRS

 

[keaton]

Great test match this so far. 229 lead, 122-7

 

[Beach Hut]

137/8

Just got to ensure they knock off the last two wickets cheaply tomorrow and that our batsmen actually do the job they are paid to do.

game on

 

[Arkwright]

Burns, Sibley, Root and Stokes surely will get a score between them. Knock them over early and it's certainly game on. Hope we play a tad more positive than we did in the morning session today we struggled to rotate the strike.
