Comfortable four wicket victory for England in 2nd ODI against Pakistan

[QalandarFan]

Good tight over from Amir!
But need to be a bit fuller!

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Wasim is even worse than Ramiz

Yeah no kidding.

 

[Shafi]

Hasan Ali is under immense pressure because Gul is already backed by Inzi, Latif, Aaaqib and others.

 

[Junaids]

Man Hassan Ali is not that tall, looks shorter than I though, more like 5'9". That's not good [emoji18][emoji18][emoji18]

Atherton commented on his lack of height after his first ball.

Realistically, it means he is going to have to massively improve his batting to be a worthwhile international cricketer. His best bet is to be a Number 6 who can bowl. He'll never make it as a specialist bowler - he's just too short.

 

[yasir]

What the use of height? Is Irfan 7'5'' any better?

There are certain thresholds, I am afraid he is below that threshold, it's hard to be good bowler with that height, that too all around the world.

That was a good shot.

 

[ExplicitAI]

I still haven't seen Roy's dismissal

 

[Syed1]

Babar really needs to get over this habit of getting 30-40 and then getting out

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

Root is so special

 

[adarsh_bang]

Root you beauty That was a top shot

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Good delivery

 

[adarsh_bang]

I still haven't seen Roy's dismissal

Inside edged it on his stumps. Played for non existent swing, but top delivery too

 

[Naim]

musharaf is Sitting in ground

 

[marlonbrowndo]

88 mph from Hasan

 

[Syed1]

Ufff what a shot

5' 9'' too short? What's the height of Wasim , Waqar, Shoaib, Sarfraz and Imran Khan?

 

[QalandarFan]

Hasan Ali is pretty quick for his height around 87 MPH

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Musharraf lol

 

[Markhor]

The big guns in attendance. Mush, DNA, Khalid Mahmood, Sethi and Shehryar all in attendance.

 

[Syed1]

Mush in the house

 

[imshally81]

Same habit as harris Sohail

 

[Syed1]

Need to get Root ASAP

Yeap, unfortunately lack of height is major handicap.

Better over from Hassan

 

[ExplicitAI]

Hasan Ali's pace is pretty decent, he can be a great asset for us

They all are Cricket lovers

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

Good over from Hassan. I like him. No need to write off bowlers because of height.

He has to discover his strengths and just turn them into towering strengths.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

5' 9'' too short? What's the height of Wasim , Waqar, Shoaib, Sarfraz and Imran Khan?

To be fair all were 6 feet

Over 6

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Amir should get Hales

 

[ExplicitAI]

Musharaff ) ) )

He can be a bowling all-rounder, bat at 7 or 8.

 

[Adijazz1706]

Root has faced 20 balls to Hales' 5, who's the opener again?

 

[QalandarFan]

Musharraf and a few former chairmans of PCB watching the match.

 

[Syed1]

If you are discounting a player just because of his height then you really shouldn't be watching cricket.

 

[imshally81]

Again on Leg....

 

[Syed1]

Wow that was so neatly played by Root

 

[Muhammad10]

I am quite annoyed Sami's batting today. One of ten balls, is not getting your eye in, its not nerves, its not superior bowling. Its just being cowardly. I hope he gets a rocket even for his lack of intent on this ten deliveries.

on a side not, the legside wide is wicket taking option against all pakistani batsmen, as we was in the test matches.

Captain Fantastic gets to start his innings in the same way day in day out, but the youngster playing his first ODI in a year should get a rocket for starting his innings like that? Codswallop.

 

[QalandarFan]

Come on Yaar getting hit for four by this mediocre player!

 

[#GreenRoars]

England playing easily.

 

[Syed1]

England playing easily.

Because it is easy track. Only Pakistan can make a 320 track look like 250.

 

[Adijazz1706]

Hasan Ali is similar to Bhatti, short but fast. Needs to be more accurate than Bhatti which isn't hard to do.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

That's the line

 

[Mainul]

Need to get Root ASAP

Pakistan's bowling is toothless to do that. England feels comfortable at this moment.

 

[srh]

Is Hasan Ali good enough for ODIs?

 

[Syed1]

Hassan is consistently over 140 kph

 

[imshally81]

Good over...

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Lovely bowling boy. Great skill.

 

[Adijazz1706]

Keep it up, Hales isn't too patient as we saw in the Tests.

 

[Syed1]

Good bowling boy.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Excellent over!

 

[QalandarFan]

Don't like Hales want him gone!

 

[QalandarFan]

If Hales doesn't get out now Yasir will get him out so no worries!

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Hasan should be our permanent opening bowler in ODIs. Compare this to Gul

 

[Syed1]

Ooooo almost.. Excellent over

 

[Mainul]

England is favorite to win unless spinners specially Yasir shows some mazic.

 

[Syed1]

Hasan should be our permanent opening bowler in ODIs. Compare this to Gul

And people were hating on him because of his height and comparing him to Bhatti

 

[#GreenRoars]

 

[imshally81]

Amir... Why on Leg again...

 

[Junaids]

5' 9'' too short? What's the height of Wasim , Waqar, Shoaib, Sarfraz and Imran Khan?

5'9 is much too short unless you are your country's best bowler for a generation like Steyn or Harris.

It is to do with lift, and what constitutes a "good length".

A 5'6 bowler like Bilawal Bhatti has to get his length accurate to within about 3 inches to trouble the batsman and make it hard for him to score.

A 6'4 inch bowler like Tim Southee has around 10 inches leeway of accuracy with his length. Waqar Younis and Imran Khan were both 6'0 and had about 5 inches of leeway.

It means that for a 5'9 bowler like Hasan Ali to make it as a pure bowler he has to be twice as accurate as a taller quick bowler. And that's a very improbable target.

 

[QalandarFan]

Yaar four! Amir pitch it up!

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Damn

 

[Mainul]

Hasan should be our permanent opening bowler in ODIs. Compare this to Gul

Too early to recommend.Doesn't look like he is an Aaqib Javed, so far average.

 

[dauntless]

Hasan is impressive so far good pace good line better than gul

 

[marlonbrowndo]

No need to get greedy

 

[Taaya]

Already have seen 3 balls just miss the edge. In our case, we have a ball potentially touching the gloves down the legside and an inside edge onto the pads that went to the stumps. Cricket can be a cruel game.

 

[ExplicitAI]

Need some more wickets

 

[blackanhyellow]

way too many bad balls either wide or on legs.

no swing.

something needs to be done about fast bowling.

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Sheesh, can't catch an edge.

You were advocating Hassan Ali for a while, did he not give you an autograph? not sure where he isn't big enough became a problem for you. Actually mind me, I keep forgetting you post on PP from Arkham Asylum

Luck favours the brave, we play a timid brand of cricket and naturally these iffy situations go against us

Beauty

Beauty.

Hasan Ali bowling brilliantly.

 

[hadi123]

oh yes! Nice bowling from Hasan Ali, feels like wicket is round the corner

We're doing pretty well. They have a run rate of 4.

Botham back...

Some good bowling!! boy

Need to finish this over well, can't release pressure yaar
