It seems a strange one, because Stokes has now officially "torn" his calf, which would for all intense and purposes likely to rule him out of the summer internationals, but the England camp are seemingly telling people he will only miss one game.

Finn needs to prove that his form has improved, he looked distinctly underwhelming.

Mooen was terrible again in the second innings, two bad balls an over

Unfortunately they keep hitting him up in the air so he'll keep his place

good article on Younis khan but don't get the Yasir shah bit.
http://www.espncricinfo.com/blogs/conte ... 39991.html

Younis khan is probably a victim of playing too much cricket in the same conditions.

Someone fails at 38 in two tests, and then this article appears? He has gotten starts, just hasnt moved on. He gets another start in the 25-30 zone like he has 75% of times this series, and he might turn it into a match winning score.

If he was struggling to get past 10 after a more than two match lean period, id worry. But coming off averaging 65 in 22 of his last tests before this, it makes articles like this seem moronic.

Would have been a good article if it had taken place after the series and both had similar fortunes in the two remaining tests but seems rather premature at this stage

I'm gonna be honest I don't think Yasir or misbah or mickey Arthur cares one jot Yasir doesn't turn it miles or have a great googly

All they care about are wickets and results

Tbh the article was mostly on younis Khan change in his stance and that the stance won't be good enough to score runs when their is pace and bounce in the wicket.
So far in this series younis Khan looked very uncomfortable and vulnerable.

He essentially adapted his stance to suit the UAE pitches and to average well in those conditions but now he needs to adapt to English conditions.

Tbh think the article compared his 2002 and 2006 stance as well and his totally different.

Think this remind me of eoin Morgan troubles in 2012/13 when he was moving all over the place like younis Khan.
