What's new

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

Wahab has to be the most overrated ODI bowler

I would have picked him if there was no two new balls rule
 
I swear i won't watch Pakistan playing an ODI again.

A proper and deserving no 9 in ODI ranking.
 
Lol Yasir has six wickets in one game against Zim. A minnow side won't take him in ODIs. I'd rather have Graeme Cremer
 
What kind of a weird philosophy is this. So what if xyz player does this defensive batting everyday. His job is to go out there and score runs. If he cant take a single off ten balls, it is a symptom of a wider disease. I will wait till bowler makes a mistake, because my shots are so limited, or my courage is so low that I cant maneuver it to anywhere for a single. Oh and nobody will say anything to me because I am just a baby in a team of underperformers.

Everyday? Did you miss his 45 (50) on ODI debut (the only other ODI he's ever played)? Any idea what his List A SR is? That might give you an idea of how he bats 'everyday'. First get rid of seniors who set such examples over a large sample set, then you can start condemning a youngster for doing it once.

4 fast bowlers formation did well in the WC so don't know why they haven't repeated this?
 
Yasir is being treated like a part timer

I miss Afridi(2003-2011 wala) ... he knew how to break partnership,

These are all excuses. See my last innings, see my average, look at the other guys, but dont look at me.
 
Yasir came close to getting Morgan in the previous over. deserved a wicket there. Don't want to talk about what's happened to Shami and co in the other game :(
 
Imad Wasim at 7

Amad Butt is 138 to 140 kph bowler and he and Hasan Ali can bat

Brother , you can say that they can bat , but at International cricket its not easy . Imad is not a consistent batter. Pakistan top order is too weak to go with such players. Gul also scored some runs , that does not make him all rounder.

Nawaz and Yamin have similar capablity, I don't see better options but Hafeez can prolong his career by passing the bowling test.
 
Can anyone tell me why Azhar spread the field so quickly after Morgan's initial deliveries?

Root and Morgan have milked the bowling easily again.
 
Very well bowled. Maybe time for a return for Junaid khan is he is fit. Wahab it seems to know nothing about taking wickets in odi's

That is the point you said.

They have to be played , not because they deserve , but lack of options.

because morgan kept swatting wahab and yasir four boundaries....?

That was after the initial attacking field. He bought Wahab on and all he did was bowl short and into Morgan. Yasir came on later and likewise when the field was already spread.

Root has gotten so many inside edges today. Babar got one and it went off the pads to the stumps. We need to catch a break here.
 
This team is a joke... been absolutely totally dominated so far (in both ODIs). We'll be lucky to win an ODI against a legit team the remainder of the year.

not not really. he a slip and all that jazz that make pp'ers think aggressive captaincy, but yasir was going for too many reasons.

The legend marches on
 
Pakistan needed this series to understand the issues that plague it and more importantly to get over the delusion that a few changes will solve the problem.
 
This is a very depressing state of affairs. The naive kid that I was growing up in the 90s, I thought we would always be in the top 3 teams of the world.
 
Wahab lost a lot of weight.
Pura cehra bhi pichak gaya
 
England batting is too strong for Pak and Pak batting line is probably the weakest in ODI cricket

Definitely whitewash
