Toadhall Saint Posted 1 December, 2022 Share Posted 1 December, 2022 Mad really all of the records broken. Not getting to carried away tho - only know how good it is after Pakistan have had a bat. Saying that so pleased for Ben Duckett very underrated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's hoping these premature predictions filter through to the rest of Saints' season.... That's gotta be one of England's best ever test wins. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egg Posted 5 December, 2022 Share Posted 5 December, 2022 That was unbelievable. I was convinced we'd declared too early, but as it turned out, it was inspired. This new approach to test cricket is something else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saint1977 Posted 5 December, 2022 Share Posted 5 December, 2022 Brilliant cricket by England and Pakistan playing well, fighting hard on a road of a wicket, packed out stands glued to the action and climatic finish. Great advert for Test cricket, the form of the game I love most. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skintsaint Posted 11 December, 2022 Share Posted 11 December, 2022 This test is ours to throw away right now. Get another 120 odd runs should give us enough on that track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint in Paradise Posted 11 December, 2022 Share Posted 11 December, 2022 Well England set a target of 355. Anyone else seen the Southampton flag? I saw it at the 1st Test as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Picard Posted 13 December, 2022 Share Posted 13 December, 2022 Is Abbas still available for test cricket?. Would he be better than what Pakistan have at the moment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point! He is still available for selection but it looks like he was dropped earlier in the year due to a poor attitude in training. According to the below article he hasn’t been as effective in the last couple of years for them, but given he averages 23 at test level and Pakistan are missing Afridi it seems strange to leave him out. Might be good news for Hants though https://wisden.com/series-stories/pakistan-v-england-2022-23/why-have-pakistan-not-included-mohammad-abbas-for-their-test-series-against-england 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now with a clear style of play there’s also strength in depth and competition with batting and bowling. There will be some days where the approach doesn’t 100% come off - NZ in Feb with a pink ball under lights - but there a belief and drive that had been lacking with English cricket and in football with SFC since Koeman left.
