Ridiculously talented

[ppccopener]

being a net bowler only who can never move it off straight even when we bottle topped one side(NO NOT IN A GAME!) ive never understood who some bowlers get that amount of swing

Amit almost looks as if he bowls off the wrong foot and has a rolling action, maybe that style just helps the ball swing?

Don't think he bowls off the wrong foot? Swing is all about the wrist and seam position, it's being able to bowl it accurately at pace that makes the big difference.

After 5 years out, it's incredible how he's slotted straight back into first class cricket. Obviously he's freakishly talented and the Somerset batting is pretty average. But the deliveries he bowled today would've gotten out elite players.

what pace is Amir he looks a little quicker than Jimmy

Shan Masood did well with his new B3.

Exactly. Smashed 100 against an in form aamir

Amir hasn't bowled much today the spinners have been on but yes, Trescothick must be pushing 40 now and still a class act.

We have not had many players at the top of the order who struck it like him in an England shirt.

And with such minimal foot movement! Incredible eye

Amir is absolute talent! Imagine what he had of been like if he had of stayed in the straight and narrow!!
He will be a massive threat whenever he plays.

Yasir shah also taking wickets..this may be the toughest examination England batsmen have had at home in many years.

About time someone other than South Africa rocked up with a couple of decent bowlers tbf!
Predict it'll go the same way as England vs Pakistan series in England have in recent history - an enjoyable bowlers' series, with England coming out on top.

Pakistan would be better off without Hafeez. There is still time.

There has been a lot of discussion regarding Amir but for me the main threat may actually be Yasir Shah. We all know that England don't play spin well whether it be at home or away. We don't posses much of a spin threat ourselves. What practice do our batters get against top class spin?
