Pakistan's tour of the UK|JUL 3rd to SEPT 7th 2016|

[aklemalp]

I'm in awe...pakistan used 4 bowlers in the match. This is some kind of rare feat....I remember in the late 90s when Ambrose, Walsh, Bishop, and Patterson Thompson used to demolish batting lineups...

I think Pakistan usually uses 4 bowlers anyways, they win matches for them since their batsmen suck

Of late, they were using 5 bowlers- 3 pacers, 2 spinners.

Now, they have genuine match winners: Amir, Shah, Wahab.

Speaking of Shah, he is the first legspinner to be ranked #1 test bowler in the world in 11 years since WARNE.

Pakistan played really fantastic cricket. Excellent win. Shah is a super spinner.

Wahab chucking half his balls this match

Yasir seems to have been nullified and Amir still hasn't impressed yet.

[aklemalp]

All of a sudden, pakistan's light has glimmered away...taken up by one named Root

[simon]

what happened to YAsir Shah now ?

Yasir 213 runs is also the highest conceded by a Pakistan bowler in a Test innings in England.

how unpredictable cricket is.

This is why I don't rate a quality spinner as much as I rate a quality fast bowler.
If the conditions don't help spinners look ineffective.

This makes no sense, surely if a spinner reaches the top despite these disadvantages he should be rated the same if not higher?

Not talking about Yasir as he's only played 13 matches and a drugs cheat

[aklemalp]

Azhar Ali reaches his 100 and is going solid..along with him is Younis..They'll be looking to get as close as possible to England's 1st inning score of 297 before close of play today. They are currently on 213/2

[aklemalp]

A target of 40 is all that Pakistan need to square the seriezt

[Hassan61]

AlhamduLillah. A win is always sweet but a win on 14 August is always sweeter. Like i remember Pakistan beating India on 29th of Ramadhan that also doubled the joy of eid ul fitr.

[RazabQ]

well deserved victory by Pakistan. And it keeps us from being bombarded with articles proclaiming how this England side is the shiznit. So double kudos! I liked how Warne apparently helped Yassir by telling him to slow down his action. Seems to have made a difference.

[Zeeshan]

Mesbah naki shunlam mezban dibe....

[aklemalp]

So if SL/AUS series ends 2-0, and West Indies draws the last test....Pakistan will gain the #1 ranking in tests./

[Rifat]

This English team is still very strong. Pakistan as soon as Misbah and Younis Khan retires watch what happens to them ....other than Yasir shah and only a handful of seamers there is not much to talk about them... Azhar Ali, Asad Shafiq and Sami Aslam will have to carry much of the batting load after Misbah and Younis Khan retires.


Misbah is one of best captains in modern day cricket...making the most of his limited resources.

Best Test Captain of 21st century: Misbah
Best limited overs captain of 21st century: Brendan McCullum/Mashrafee Mortaza

[aklemalp]

Misbah is a leader in the same mold as Clive Lloyd, Steve Waugh, and Arjuna...Lots of respect for him

[Zeeshan]

Pakistan in Tests is like Bangladesh in ODI's and Bangladesh in tests is like Pakistan in ODI's catch ma drift ?

[Tiger444]

Impressive result by Pakistan considering how Australia lost and India getting pummeled in England. Also a very good series by both teams. It should be a 5 match Test series next time

No Misbah nor Younis. This might be tight.

Ireland these days are not a walk in the park....Porterfield, jojce, Stirling, Obrien, wilson....Irish pride

[NoName]

Hope Ireland wins one of the ODIs, the Paks are already on Cloud 9 after the 2-2 draw lol

[aklemalp]

Sharjeel Khan is going berserk.

147 (83) with 15 overs to go.

Double century there for the taking....
