England (158/3) secure a 7-wicket victory against Pakistan (157/10) in the fourth T20I to win the series 2-0

[Rana]

Let's blame Babar for the collapse

Yes we should

Who told him to not bat at 3?

 

[mominsaigol]

Told yall, Pakistan will lose 100% of its games batting first

 

[jnaveen1980]

I don't think they are giving 100% just prior to a WC, wait till the WI and i think you'll see those average speeds go up by 2-3 kph each

Sam Curran will come back. He is a good cutter bowler

 

[emranabbas]

Let's blame Babar for the collapse

Let's blame babar for selecting this lineup or no?

 

[Champ_Pal]

He looks a really poor bowler. Only Pakistan could make him look like a decent bowling option.

He may be poor spinner. But England still bowls him 1 or 2 overs pretty much every match. This allows England to play extra batsman if needed.

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

so getting all out twice in row?

 

[RidiculousMan]

Maiden over by Livingstone in T20I Cricket.

 

[YousafTheBeast]

They left the IPL for this

 

[adzzy786]

Double wicket maiden for LIAM LIVINGSTONE LOL! PATHETIC!

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

Let's blame babar for selecting this lineup or no?

yes absolutely

 

[Asad T]

How did we allow a part time spin bowler in rainy conditions to bowl a double wicket maiden, pathetic

 

[Mainul]

Where is Imad? Injured?

 

[Rana]

RizBar fans still cannot understand…wanting this opening combination is as good as buying a plain ticket for free peanuts

Look at the bigger picture!!!

 

[adzzy786]

Yes we should

Who told him to not bat at 3?

We would have been 0/1 so what difference does it make

 

[castortroy]

Surely this can't be the batting line up going into the wc

 

[themens]

yahan 20 over nhi khele jaate and ppl on here talking 'strike rates' and 'aggression'

 

[adzzy786]

RizBar fans still cannot understand…wanting this opening combination is as good as buying a plain ticket for free peanuts

How’s it their fault? They had a brilliant start!

 

[Mohraheem]

Ifthikhar where is ur skills ???

 

[Champ_Pal]

Shahid Afridi ruined SSA by making him believe he can be an allrounder. He affected his bowling too.

Afridi prolonged his career by at least 5 years by faking as an All rounder. Perhaps he gave the same advice to his Damaadji.

 

[salman24]

Pakistan should always bat till at least number 8. All the times they have won a major tournament that was the case

 

[MenInG]

Yes we should

Who told him to not bat at 3?

Pakistan were doing well at the poweplay then the rest of the batting lineup happened.

 

[Rana]

Surely this can't be the batting line up going into the wc

This is the line up we want!!

Babar and Rizwan must open!!

 

[emranabbas]

yahan 20 over nhi khele jaate and ppl on here talking 'strike rates' and 'aggression'

Might as well give up t20 kyu ke hum ko t20 kehlna nahi atta

 

[jnaveen1980]

BUt that is because Pakistan had bowling unit to limit the opposition to a manageable total. When that fails they will be struggling.

 

[Rana]

I tell you what happened…your hit and Miss players walked in at 3 onwards

 

[Ali T]

Shahid Afridi ruined SSA by making him believe he can be an allrounder. He affected his bowling too.

Shahid Afridi, in my opinion, had ruined a whole generation of cricketers thinking they can get in the team by playing brainless cricket.

Gary Kirsten has a task on his hands, bless his heart.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Curse of this team, either play bad PP or bad rest of the game.

 

[IMMY69]

what a shambles...

So far we have two brilliant batsmen in Babar and Rizwan and not much else

 

[Barragan]

He may be poor spinner. But England still bowls him 1 or 2 overs pretty much every match. This allows England to play extra batsman if needed.

This is what we're asking from babar to do with Iftikhar and Saim

He just doesn't have the brains

 

[YousafTheBeast]

Athers - “Babar, where do you think you lost the game”.

Babar - “Yeah, definitely I think batting first so we lose”

 

[Caved12]

Our middle order failed miserably after a fantastic start by RizBar. Azam and Shadab should never play for Pakistan again. So far, Azam has looked nervous and literally shaking every time he came out to bat in the last few games. Azam already knows that they have picked on his weakness and will test him with bouncers right away.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Gary Kirsten has a task on his hands, bless his heart.

He has nothing to lose.

Already bald.

I'll be interested to see how successful that is against proper batsmen.

 

[IMMY69]

Yes we should

[PakPremi]

This t20 and that's what aggression means in t20

Out of 11 azams even if 5 of them fire we will be scoring 200+ every gane

Even though I agree with this but irony is none of the players from the new generation are capable of hitting sixes like he did.

 

[adzzy786]

Adil Rashid really tries to prove his loyalty to England when he plays Pakistan, he tries extra hard. Reminds me of Asim Munir type of style

 

[Rana]

Curse of this team, either play bad PP or bad rest of the game.

So the problem is clearly those two frauds itching to open!

One of the worst Pakistan player to hold a bat after Misbah Ifthikhar Ahmed

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Athers - “Babar, where do you think you lost the game”.

Babar - “Yeah, definitely I think batting first so we lose”

We were 10 runs short

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

naseem has better balannce on crease than Kadu khan

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

what a shambles...

Welcome to 2018.

 

[Omer2002]

Guys is it me or has naseem been the best looking technical batter against pacers

 

[RidiculousMan]

England bowling spinners at the death. That's how confident Buttler is

 

[IMMY69]

RizBar fans still cannot understand…wanting this opening combination is as good as buying a plain ticket for free peanuts

Look at the bigger picture!!!

No you need to understand that there are no reliable batters other then Babar and Rizwan...

They fail, the team fails

Chacacha doing well today bro

He always stick well at the crease. Great support player

Well your maths is all wrong. Azam
Has played 12 games and hasn’t fired in any. So I don’t think 5 will fire in a team.

 

[IMMY69]

So the problem is clearly those two frauds itching to open!

No the problem is that you let your political views cloud your judgment

 

[MenInG]

Pakistan could've inducted Aamer Jamal in place of Azam. Aamer showed he can bat. He batted well against Australian Test attack.

Currently not able to get a game in County due to injury - so no, thanks

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Good stuff from Naseem. Clearly trying to reinvent himself as an allrounder. Will be tough for him to be a specialist fast bowler.

 

[IMMY69]

Pakistan were doing well at the poweplay then the rest of the batting lineup happened.

Common sense really

 

[adzzy786]

Nadeem should bat at 5! What a shot!

 

[Omer2002]

Shottt puttar jigraaa no doubt is this lad..wish naseem was a bit taller

 

[Champ_Pal]

Pakistan should look to score 160 somehow.

If England lose Buttler and Salt cheaply, then its game on. The rest of England batting looks dodgy.

 

[mominsaigol]

Naseem is a much better batter then shaheen and shadab lol

 

[adzzy786]

30 runs in last 3? 170? Is it defendable

 

[Rana]

No the problem is that you let your political views cloud your judgment

How is this about Politics when I strong want Babar to bat at 3?

He is a PTI stamp

Naseem has proven many times that he can bat. He should come before Shaheen and Shadab.

both Sharif brothers should open

 

[Asad T]

From Cricinfo "Just the third six of Naseem's T20I career - you know which the other two are"

 

[emranabbas]

Haven’t got the time bro!

Don't reply then half way through someone else's conversation

 

[Rana]

One six and fans think Naseem can bat too

We are architects of our own failure

 

[Rana]

We have worse in the form of super agent Sharif brothers

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

Naseem has proven many times that he can bat. He should come before Shaheen and Shadab.

he can bat. but not by any means a reliablle bat by int standards. this tells how poor our middle over batters are

 

[kingusama92]

Athers - “Babar, where do you think you lost the game”.

Babar - “Yeah, definitely I think batting first so we lose”

Don't forget the classic, "We were 10 runs short"

 

[Champ_Pal]

Jordan is bowling good pace. He was trundling in IPL at 130k's. Here he is bowling over 140.

Iftimania turning into a 100 strike rate batsmen

The legendary Iftikhar 20 off 17 balls

Finisher Iftikar. May be age is not on his side.

 

[IMMY69]

lol
There's no better batsman in Pakistan then Babar and in a T20 you always want your best batter to face as many deliveries as possible...
this is aided by the fact there are no other reliable batsmen in the squad let alone in Pakistan...

 

[msb314]

This is painful to watch

For a 45 year old he is doing okay lol. MSD can easily come back

The struggle is real for Chachu. Age has caught up with Pakistan's most famous finisher.
