Cook, Root and Butter hands make the operation OT drab for Pakistan.
It’s stumps. England have survived the major surgical operation at Operation theatre of Old Trafford, Manchester. Most of critics will define Pakistan’s team status as Lackadaisical today, but this won’t be justice to Pakistan’s bowlers. What transpired today and what made the efforts futile, we will go through the day again in case you missed it. Stifles a yawn.
1-Brilliance from Cook and Root :
Amid the usual signs of haphazardness after Hales departed for 10, bawarchi and the Jarr batted England for most of the day. A 185 runs stand between two senior pro’s ensured that Pakistani players kept their fingers stuffed in noses for most of the time. Yikes.
2-Grassing, the favorite shughal for Pakistani fielders:
Although it didn’t hurt much Pakistan when you consider the shelled catches relative to the concerned batters dismissal, yet Pakistan have failed again to shine in fielding department. Some very tough chances at the start of day, followed by a ludicrous drop by senior pro Younis Khan, the Pakistani fans faces were quite long by the time day ended. Kya Ray…saray killyan phurka ky out krain hum?might have been the appropriate sentence to describe Pakistani bowlers feelings.
3- Amir, the only munasib thing to happen for Pakistan:
Along with Rahat Ali, Mohammed Amir looked million dollars as the first session started. Andar bahir hori thi ball *chuckles*. Anyways, he certainly has it and had it not been for extremely placebo conditions for batsmen, Amir would have surely bagged a few more. He has 5 now in the series, all bowled of course. Aitmad tor dya bechary ka slip walo ny.
4-Shah G ki century:
Yasir Shah failed to pick up a wicket today. He is not out on Nelson 111* rolls eyes*. Of course it’s zyadti to criticise him for one bad day, but Pakistan could have done with a wicket or two from Master leg spinner. Saqi bhai ap ny Sara kuch bta dya goro ko? *tissue paper lao yar*
