leicsmac Posted 17 October 2015 Posted 17 October 2015 Rashid proving his worth here. Send out Ali and Buttler for the chase, with Root and Stokes 3 and 4.
Corky Posted 17 October 2015 Posted 17 October 2015 Stokes/ Buttler to open, Root, Bairstow can both smack it around, get off to a flyer and we should do it. How much time they'll waste could be a concern, the umpires need to be strong.
Guest MattP Posted 17 October 2015 Posted 17 October 2015 I'd go Ali and Bell with Root, Stokes, Buttler next. Adil Rashid take a bow, that was marvellous, Pakistan will go nuts though if they lose this, three batsman running down the pitch and a run out This is still going to be very tough with this pitch, might even see the new ball go to a spinner.
leicsmac Posted 17 October 2015 Posted 17 October 2015 They'll bowl the quicks as the light goes down, trying to influence the umpires. It's what I'd do.

Guest MattP Posted 17 October 2015 Posted 17 October 2015 It's tragic that the umpires decide on light rather than batsman Robs us of moments like when we won in Pakistan under Nass in the dark and the fielders couldnt see the ball.
leicsmac Posted 17 October 2015 Posted 17 October 2015 Yep. The final Ashes test in 2013 still pisses me off.

Might be really dumb but why is it not floodlit? Is it down to the size of the pitch?
leicsmac Posted 17 October 2015 Posted 17 October 2015 Also, good captaincy from Cook bringing in Buttler to open. Hopefully Stokes and Root next on the order. Might be really dumb but why is it not floodlit? Is it down to the size of the pitch? Seeing the red ball under floodlights is hazardous, so they can't do it.

Guest MattP Posted 17 October 2015 Posted 17 October 2015 Over the next 30 minutes the World will again see why Pakistan are the biggest cheats to ever walk the planet.
Guest MattP Posted 17 October 2015 Posted 17 October 2015 Not sure reviews are the best option for us here.
IOWFOX Posted 17 October 2015 Posted 17 October 2015 Seriously joss. Should have just walked off, wasting valuable time here.
Guest MattP Posted 17 October 2015 Posted 17 October 2015 This so has to be the reward for sitting through four days of this pitch.
leicsmac Posted 17 October 2015 Posted 17 October 2015 Moeen not really on form. These two are our trump card.
IOWFOX Posted 17 October 2015 Posted 17 October 2015 It really does make cricket look ridiculous, when after 5 days it will probably end a draw with us about 15/20 runs from victory and having around 7 overs left.
leicsmac Posted 17 October 2015 Posted 17 October 2015 And here come the quicks. Every other ball is going to be short. Guaranteed.
