England Lions v Pakistan A

Postby The Professor » Sun Dec 13, 2015 6:23 pm

Big win from England Lions today to level the series. Some interesting figures being thrown up here like Malan and Finn doing what he needs to.

Nah, I missed an England win.

Topley's doing well, but Vince having a 'mare.

Buttler, Bairstow and Billings all very decent wicket keeper batsmen options. Hard luck for Billings as in previous years he would be a test regular

With Billings' first class record he wouldn't have been a shoe in for the Test side even with the likes of Buttler and Bairstow not around.

No way is Billings good enough for the Test side. Only has 1 hundred in his County Championship career and that was on a flat deck at Tunbridge Wells this year.

Exceptional in limited overs though. A shoe in for the World T20 squad.

Dunno, is he better than Read and Jones or just one of them?

Malan 81 off 55, Billings 50 off 31. Game ends in a tie. Super over to decide the series!

Terrible innings from Whiteley. 5* off 12. Could cost England Lions the series.

Lions win the super over by 4 runs and take the series 3-2!

Malan had a very impressive series, much better than Vince. Could Malan take his place in the World T20 squad?
