harsh on bashir, he's a 6'4 20 year old bowling spin in england. can't imagine a much more difficult scenario.

Look he will - you’d assume - get better but he’s been picked on not even potential from what I’ve watched, it’s just the fact that he actually bowls spin.
We played him horribly though to be fair he generally put the ball on a decent enough spot he just didn’t do much with it
how has he not been picked on potential?

If you’re averaging 50 at first class level you’re getting picked because you are young, not because you have shown something.
He’s taken 16 wickets in 11 matches away from test cricket without ever taking more than three wickets in an innings.
‘Potential’ to me is a combination of a few things: you are going to get better and develop (so yes, he’s got those things in his favour: tick) and you have already shown a few times that you have ‘a bit.’
I would think that, say, a 20 year old with an ordinary average but who’s taken a five wicket haul or two, or hit a couple of centuries, is that sort of player.
When Bashir was picked, I can’t see what it was based on other than ‘he bowls spin, and he’s young so he might develop so I guess it’s better than picking someone older’
As I said he’s done ok but I don’t think it’s been out of any especially brilliant bowling at this point but he will get better regardless

Hopefully the Pakistan lower order can show some fight today, they will need to bat until at least tea to be a chance of a draw.
agree plugger. if they don't make it to tea they're absolutely no chance of forcing a draw. infact, i'd go as far as to say that if they don't bat til at least tea then england will win.

A hundred run partnership between Salman and Jamal, they are putting up a fight.
According to cricinfo he's still in hospital so it doesn't look like he will bat.

Leach making the breakthrough, trapping Salman lbw, that's probably the end of Pakistan's hopes of getting a draw.

All over with Leach cleaning up the tail.
A bad loss for Pakistan after scoring over 500 in the first innings, they have a bit of thinking to do before the next test.

Actually there was quite gap between Gough finishing up and Anderson becoming elite(he averaged about 34.5 after 40 odd tests in 2009).
The Harmisson, Hoggard, Flintoff, Jones mob is the best England attack in my lifetime, none go down as elite but they complemented each other almost perfectly. 3 could bowl very quickly, 2 were excellent reverse swing bowlers, 2 could bowl orthodox swing and 2 were very tall and quick and got big bounce. Jones could perhaps
have been elite if he hadn't done his knee.

Pakistan were dreadful but credit should go to England for getting a comprehensive win on this road. Thought they would be struggling when Duckett got injured then Pope got out early. Obviously wasn't hard to bat on that pitch but they put on a big score that deflated Pakistan. The high scoring rate of Bazball is good for this type of situation.
This is where Bazball allows a solid attack to look good by putting so much pressure on opposition batsmen. Even if you have a good partnership or a good day, Englands batsmen can turn it around it so quickly the opposition batsman wilt under pressure.

Even though the match didn't end in a bore draw, I hope the match referee is critical of the pitch for this match.
