Yes Adil.

Yes Adil.

A well placed googly should for wahab and babar

So a hat trick then knock off the runs two down

Easy

Yes, I'd take that.

Listening to Botham is really painful, he's so boorish and bore to boot.

Should Anderson and Broad be bowling to the tail?

Rashid and Patel leaking runs.

Rashid and Patel leaking runs.

I was thinking the same.

I've generally been against picking someone like Tredwell for the Test team but i think there is a decent case for his inclusion now. We have such a strong pace attack that all we need is a spinner to dry up runs at the other end. Like Paul Harris did for SA to complement their outstanding quicks. He was an underrated bowler and people only realised his value when SA moved onto Tahir.

Game over

We won't chase this, on this outfield 270 is worth 310

Oddly Rashid and Patel bowling worse against Wahab than they did against better batsmen.

[hopeforthebest]

Our record against tail enders had improved in this series until now.

[Aidan11]

Somebody do something.

Makes sense. Here he would have been tight, kept the pressure, and he is actually a spin bowler. Not an all rounder. England, pick a specialist, not a part timer. Why was he not even picked for the tour?

On this pitch rashid is bowling too slow

There is no pace in it at all so the turn he is getting is so slow he can be played with ease

His googly is a bit quicker and looks much more threatening

I think England want to move on from picking older players like him. All about looking to the future.

This is hard to watch, why is jimmy not bowling

Who would you rather face a fast bowler reversing it or a couple of pie chuckers
