Just looked at the Pakistan scorecard. That's a serious collapse; 155/2 to 191 all out. And they didn’t bat out their 50 overs either; over 7 overs short.

I was getting flashbacks of England in the 90's........

Thinking about epic collapses does anyone else remember the 1993 B&H Cup game between Surrey and Lancashire?

It was shown live on BBC1 and Lancashire crawled to 236. Surrey then got to 212-1 needing 25 to win off the last 6 overs they then proceeded to lose 9 wickets for 18 runs to be all out for 230 and Lancashire winning by 6 runs

Need to win these games convincingly get our run rate up

England have been proper sloppy in the first couple of overs

Stop. Picking. Woakes. Away. From. Home.

At this point I'll take any sort of win.

Piss poor from England's bowlers this. Especially Woakes

Pathetic bowling! What with starting the bowling with woakes!? His record away from home is shite! Wiley needs to get an opportunity

 

[waspish]

Also what's Buttler thinking bowling first on a pitch like that!? Get a massive score put the pressure on Afghanistan!

It looks a great deck to bat on but this attack is pretty average and every armchair pundit knows Woakes isn’t the man for sub continent conditions. It’s to be hoped that the pitch holds up
