Off Topic England cricket 2021

This would sort it out.

 

What I fail to comprehend is that India had won the series, and would probably have won this game.
All they have achieved is a bad press.
People have long memories.

 

Oily Stone makes his Englad T20 debut n today's match.

 

Pakistan 166-4 after 20 overs.

Walk in the park for us

 

Until we lose three wickets for one run needing five to win. Stone did himself no favours, no wicket and out first ball.

 

Fifth Twenty20 international, Lahore
Pakistan 145 (19 overs): Rizwan 63 (46); Wood 3-20
England 139-7 (20 overs): Moeen 51* (37); Rauf 2-41
Pakistan won by six runs; lead series 3-2

 

I know Stokes and Buttler have been rested but surely they should be playing in the last three, now two, games to get into some sort of nick.

 

Cruising this one.

Pakistan 169.

England 146 - 2 after 11 overs

 

Immaculate batting by England.
88 from 41 by Phil Salt was a joy to watch.
3-3 with one to play

 

Apparently in the last match he played, Woods was clocked at 97mph once or twice. Serious pace.

 

It's been a while, but when eventually there

Yes I heard that too. The Australian commentators were impressed by his pace last Ashes

 

Pakistan 5 - 2, chasing 210.
Is it too early to get the out??

 

No

 

On to Aussiland now. Four more warm ups before the real action starts.

 

Well done to them and the security for the series to go off without a hitch. I heard that the Pakistan Cricket Board would likely lose money due to the security costs, but I hope they were able to break even.

 

Summary today at Perth

1. Australia slip from 158-3 to fall short on 200-9
2. Pace of Wood the difference with three wickets, including two in one over
