- Test cricket has never worked like this before. India demolishing Bangladesh, and whatever England are doing in Multan right got me thinking. So here's me trying to make sense of how Test batting is striking back.

Watching your own team bat well gives you a sense of security.
Watching the opponent's team bat well gives you a feeling of increasing dread.
Watching your own team bowl well and take wickets gives you a feeling of exhilaration.
Watching the opponent's team bowl well and take your side's wickets gives you trauma.
All England had to do is play a test series in pak every year and joe root is gonna smash sachin's record.
And Brook will break his.
Cricket is better when the ball dominates. The best viewing is when every ball is a grenade and the batsman is standing against the tide
It's best when the ball has a slight advantage, not when it dominates.
No it's not. It's better when competition is even. If it's too batting friendly or too bowling friendly, it's boring.
@@RR_theproahole Nah the innings you remember are the ones when it was back against the wall type stuff. agree to disagree
True. I love a struggle. I also love when a team has to fight on the last day for a draw against quality bowling and adverse conditions.
Watching a team struggling to get 100 odd on a bowling friendly pitch is not entertaining.
This feels like the last decade of marathon running. Once 2:03 was broken, suddenly people started to take the 2h barrier seriously. Now it is just 35 seconds shy, though Kipchoge ran 1:59:40 in controlled conditions. Batting has become similarly unleashed, the mental barriers are gone.
Good luck to teams looking to attack with the bat when the pitch isn’t a road
Isn't that exactly what India did with Bangladesh tho? India's first batting innings in that test was in no way played on a flat wicket. That pitch still had enough for bowlers and wasn't as straight forward to bat on (which is partly why India lost so many wickets). And yet, they persisted with the belting and won because of it.

@@nazalmoideenare you from Pakistan, if you don't mind me asking?
Even with 830 runs, England will only win only if they bowl Pakistan out in reasonable time (which is likely to happen). So its again the bowlers that will win the match.
Wrong, it's batters.. pakistan batters..
Kimber never fails to impress. I always jump up on my seat when Jarrod posts a video
What's scarier is that england didn't even push in that innings. For large part of the innings the run rate was under 5. For large part of Brook's innings the strike rate was under 80
On a flat pitch, batters will always dominate. Otherwise the modern T20 batters are quite vulnerable against quality bowling side with some help in the pitch....
8 PAK players scored hundreds in this test match..
2 from batsmen
6 from bowlers 😂
This is Pakistan's lowest point since 2008, Flat Tracks, Trash batters and Trash bowlers, England took Full advantage. Also currently Salman Agha and Aamer Jamal are batting, Maybe they both can bat many overs but considering Jamal didn't perform in the last innings but Salman scored a century, maybe Salman can score another century.
Btw i really enjoy your videos and they are always pretty informative😃😁
Amazing (or Awful for us English) Adelaide had similarities to this test in first innings score. There was absolutely no way England could lose that match after getting 551 in 168 overs. When Pakistan posted 556 in 149 overs here, I thought that given Pakistan's bowling, the pitch and the way England bat, Pakistan were nowhere near safe.
Great opening analogy 👌👌👌
I thought the best analogy you could think of war the star wars stuff. That was a better analogy to me anyways.
you havent mentioned the incredible wicket that the paks have presented us with. a batters dream. iv seen more life off a wicket in a graveyard.
Nathan astle against england was my realisation what can be done if batsmen unleash , waited for this moment . My only other thing is when teams realise that dot balls =missing runs...i.e. even when teams make 200 in t20s, they still 3 or 4 overs of dots..
Jarrod have you admitted you were wrong about Harry Brook?
Bangladesh and Pakistan: dono bhai dono ki ho gayi sutai 😂😂😂
a player who doesn’t even deserve a spot in the national team is the CAPTAIN. I mean… what else you expect?
Make a rank turner and this english team will be out by 150
While Pakistan is terrible ATM, their selection of pancake pitches doesn't help.
Pakistan doing pakistan things
Casual viewers like batters dominating but long time viewers like when bowling dominates.
A team once scored 556 and lost. Almost 20 years ago. A pretty 'decent' team, at home, against an average one, at best, away from home.
This Bazball crap is pretty exiting, but lets face the truth. The reason Eng play this way is to mask their own deficiencies, rather than revolutionalize or save test cricket. Teams have done it before, not to this extent, but to better effect. Is Sehwag a better batter than Sachin or Dravid?
Just like Eng have done it in ODI cricket in 70s, 2015-19, in t20 cricket in 2020-22, and in tests before and now, other, 'better' teams will take it a noch higher with better players all round. I'll give them entertainment points, moral victories and all, but save us from the messiah complex they and their media exhibit((the same media which praises shots etc based on outcomes). Let them win against Aus, Ind and SA and then lets talk.
P.S. Not denying the fact that this is the future of test cricket, but this team is not the one which does anything with it in the present/future except pounding avg teams or even that they invented it (idk if they've heard of bradman, viv, greanidge, hayden, sehwag, gilly, warner et al)
Can they make decent tracks in Asia or is it just varieties of shit tips?
Indian and Sri Lankan tracks are good, Pakistan has historically flat tracks
Tracks that offer excessive seam movement? Nope. Tracks that offer spin? Hell yes..
One of the most pathetic test match i have seen in my life.
Jarrod Kimber is my man crush
