" Summer of 69" for England boundary

 

[Rana]

Man what is this Walky talky sound in the background?

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

"Aussies can make the whole crowd silent on their day IYKYK."

 

[mominsaigol]

You shouldn't be. You can still qualify along with SA from this group.

I won't, I'll be eliminated and sent to England to win wtc and then to aus to dominate in Ashes.

I can't have my triple trophy session only double .

 

[jamie smith]

350+ pitch this.

 

[kingusama92]

England is going to be eying a high 300s score here. Absolute road.

Are u at the stadium??

 

[adi_62941]

Indian commentators are questioning lack of interest and crowd in grounds.

 

[Rana]

350+ pitch this.

They are all 350+ pitches

You’ve only just seen a team that wants to hit those runs play yet

 

[mominsaigol]

Are u at the stadium??

No, couldn't make it. Besides am happy watching at home.

 

[jamie smith]

Spencer bowling good gas.

" Summer of 69" for England boundary

If they wanna play really English music they need to play Oasis or Queen.

Man, I wish I was the DJ in this tournament.

London Calling by The Clash would be such a banger here too!

 

[jamie smith]

My man jamie looking shaky.

 

[Devadwal]

Shot

 

[jamie smith]

Exquisite from Jamie Smith.

 

[Rana]

Jamie Smith in the house

 

[kingusama92]

That was a classy cover drive.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Or The Rolling Stones.

Canadian Bryan Adams doesn't sound right

 

[jamie smith]

Oops.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

If England can't hack it against this Australian bowling attack, it won't get any easier for them

 

[kingusama92]

Terrible from Smith there. Just gave it away.

 

[Rana]

42-1 in 5 overs

Proper powerplay batting

And no one should say “well Australia are missing their frontline bowlers”

England smash their frontline seamers too in white ball cricket

42-2 now

 

[Bhaijaan]

England already 2 down

 

[BouncerGuy]

Sime milestones in sight for England Batters... They will get it??? Yes?

 

[Bhaijaan]

In this great weather, Lahoris should really come out from their home and be at the stadium. Take some sun light brothers and enjoy some great cricket on this beautiful ground.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Was only a matter of time. Jamie Smith is weak against left arm pace

 

[jamie smith]

Couldnt have asked for a worse start.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Sime milestones in sight for England Batters... They will get it??? Yes?

Too much emphasis on these little milestones.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Or The Rolling Stones.

Canadian Bryan Adams doesn't sound right

Gimme Shelter by The Rolling Stones would have been a great right about now considering England's position. But I doubt the DJ has any kind of decent taste in music. Surprised he even played AC/DC, or knew they were an Australian band.

 

[Devadwal]

@Rajdeep @Bhaijaan @Nikhil_cric @jnaveen1980

Blunder in champion trophy today match.

Organizers played the Indian National Anthem instead of Australia’s before the AUS vs ENG match

Looks like Pakistan is really missing India

Guess if that match was played in UAE @Major and pakistan fan's would have crying about it and called conspiracy theories of BCCI/ ICC.

 

[Rana]

Couldnt have asked for a worse start.

Start is fine

They need one partnership in the middle

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Jamie Smith experiment didn't work out today. Not sure what they were doing playing him at 3 considering he has played all his best knocks in the lower middle order.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Gimme Shelter by The Rolling Stones would have been a great right about now considering England's position. But I doubt the DJ has any kind of decent taste in music. Surprised he even played AC/DC, or knew they were an Australian band.

Didn't hear it myself but that Aussie female commentator Mel told Smith that ACDC was playing at the toss.

 

[Devadwal]

England is england .they will never learn .

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Aussies bowling is worse than ever now

Ellis is the highest wicket taker in fast bowlers with 12 and most games 9.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Where are all the people who say cricket in subcontinent should be banned because of pollution and all.

Bro it’s HD clear weather in Lahore today. Lovely colours in the screen and this is after many posters have said the broadcasting isn’t top notch.

You can compare today’s visuals with Adelaide matches now. It’s just a matter of time bro. You cannot compare the worst seasons weather on certain days in certain cities and then damage the whole reputation of subcontinent like that.

Great sunny crystal clear weather today in Lahore.

All hopes pinned of brook and livingstione

I'm in lahore atm and so far no issues with air quality. Last time I visited it was smoggy though. However it rained 2 days ago heavily, which is why there's no smog today.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Salt and Smith gifted their wickets away as its such a docile wicket to bat.

As Athers said, you ask any opener where they'd love to bat and open they'll all say Pakistan because of the pancake tracks with nothing for the bowlers.

 

[jamie smith]

Duckett can only play square of the wicket havent ever seen him play a straight shot.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Brook is the guy who can really punish these Australian bowlers.

Funny how they pushed Root down to 4 so he doesn't have to bat in the PP and he ends up batting in the PP anyway.

 

[Devadwal]

Send your photo with head in the background

It’s great weather today in Delhi also. Blue skies and sunny weather.

Guess what? Nobody gonna post pictures from today and say what a lovely weather today because it’s only fashionable to shtpost about subcontinent when weather is not favourable on certain days.

This negative commentary must stop.

You ask Pakistan influential batters where they want to bat in Pakistan and it’s “I don’t want to open”

But in T20 they want to open everywhere

 

[gazza619]

Important day for the Travis Head worshipers.

Root should be at 3. Jamie Smith should have been somewhere at 6. There was no need to push everyone down one slot.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

But in T20 they want to open everywhere

A bunch of sissies basically

 

[Rana]

Important day for the Travis Head worshipers.

Why? Are you looking for solace in his failure?

 

[jamie smith]

England found it difficult to score quickly after pp in India.
Will see if they have made any improvement today.

 

[mominsaigol]

Important day for the Travis Head worshipers.

Bas karo bhai, Travis sealed his legacy with BGT performance + Wtc 100 and Wc 100. These 3 performances put him > any Pakistani batter in recent times with only fakhar zaman being comparable to him atm and potentially saim ayub surpassing him in the future.

I'd be more worried for Rizwan and babar who are viewed highly yet haven't cone remotely close to Travis despite the fact that they have more marketing, More pr, and more no of international games under their belt.

 

[jamie smith]

Duckeet playing at a babaresque strike rate of 70.

 

[Rana]

Are there any traveling England/Australia fans in the crowd?

 

[Devadwal]

Australia is different team when playing in the ICC events ,Never ruled them out.

if you had working head on your shoulder , you would know that organiser is ICC not PCB so its a mistake of ICC whose chairman is Jay Shah. Blame him

 

[mominsaigol]

He is in depression now because he got laid off.

e

Mentally defeated, but regardless, focus on the game .

 

[mominsaigol]

England playing slow for the kind of pitch this is tbh.

 

[Rana]

73-2 in the powerplay

A lot of you are upset with 2 wickets down. But this is what you needed from Pakistan chasing 320 the other night.

This is a proper pace to play modern white ball powerplay

 

[jamie smith]

These 2 have sucked all the momentum built by smith and salt.

 

[Devadwal]

Lol as usual you don't anything about how's things are managed.

 

[jamie smith]

Eng need to get 350 atleast.

Tbf England have been slower then they usually are considering this is a flat deck.

 

[Rana]

Tbf England have been slower then they usually are considering this is a flat deck.

If England hit 350 or close to it,

You will not see Aussies saving wickets for a 50 run powerplay

 

[jamie smith]

T

Tbf England have been slower then they usually are considering this is a flat deck.

They have to play cautiously as only 1 batter ie Buttler is remaining .Rest are not trustworthy.

 

[mominsaigol]

If England hit 350 or close to it,

You will not see Aussies saving wickets for a 50 run powerplay

Obviously. Travis head and Short never slow down regardless

 

[Rana]

How they managed to convince Maxwell to come to Pakistan is amazing

 

[pratiktc]

Upset that they didn't get more out of the trundler Ben's overs

 

[Rana]

Obviously. Travis head and Short never slow down regardless

@gazza619 might think otherwise

 

[jamie smith]

If England hit 350 or close to it,

Aus are gonna go bang bang in pp.
They will score 85 atleast.

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

Lol as usual you don't anything about how's things are managed.

LOL at you. Stadiums are handed over to ICC before tournament and most likely its the broadcaster team that plays anthems . Why would PCB have Indian anthem in their play list?

 

[mominsaigol]

Aus are gonna go bang bang in pp.
They will score 85 atleast.

Or they get bowled out for 100. This aus team is weak. We saw how they did so sri lanka. But who knows, maybe inglis showcases his current test and t20 form in odi

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

The Final Countdown is a good song to play.

 

[pratiktc]

Want Ben Duckett to stay in till 30th over today please. He is a treat to watch in full flow

 

[FearlessRoar]

Highest powerplay for England in ICC Champions Trophy

77/0 vs WI, Ahmedabad, 2006
73/2 vs AUS, Lahore, 2025
70/2 vs ZIM, Birmingham, 2004
68/2 vs AUS, Centurion, 2009

 

[jamie smith]

Those were different conditions.
ODI pitches in sl are a nightmare for batters these days.

 

[Rana]

Mentality in powerplay

World teams (SENA+India): only 2 fielders out. Two hard new balls, we have to maximise now! Best chance to bat!

Pakistan: oh no, 2 new balls that will swing for a bit. Chance to lose wickets is high, let’s see off the new balls carefully! Plenty of time in the game, we can build in the middle and attack at the end!

 

[jamie smith]

Root has a higher sr than Duckett currently.

 

[mominsaigol]

Root has a higher sr than Duckett currently.

His accumulative nature works in pakistan. Easy singles and doubles while the rest try to muscle everything for 4

 

[Rana]

England and Australia to Naqvi:
