Re: Pakistan V Somerset - 3 day match

So they didnt followon Eng and now its almost 400 runs lead. Should be enough to give them a day and hopefully they'll bowl him out.

Re: Pakistan V Somerset - 3 day match

There was no point in enforcing follow on as they needed batting practice.

Re: Pakistan V Somerset - 3 day match

Yea I get it and i think its always preferable in English conditions not to bat last as it can really turn disastrous. Sensible decision.

Re: Pakistan V Somerset - 3 day match

Good work so far by the batters. Though espn reporting that the bowling attack of somerset is very weak and inexperienced.
In any case our batters could get toppled down by any one from street of England under english conditions. So it is relatively very good. Important is to repeat this and better in the tests

Re: Pakistan V Somerset - 3 day match

Aah, somerset barely escaped defeat.

I dont think it was wise to carry on Pakistani inning last day. They had enough lead. Nevertheless, great performance. It definitely will yield more interest in test matches.

Re: Pakistan V Somerset - 3 day match

A good all round performance, however I will not read too much into this

A valuable experience for many youngsters in the team for sure ahead of the main contests.
