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

[Usman Chadda]

Naseem is not starting. Hasn’t looked great since his comeback.

 

[cricketmania22]

Azam Khan finally caught something. lol

 

[hafizexpress]

The way Shadab was consoling Azam K after dropping the catch and then finally catching it looked like a mom telling her little chubby boy that he'll be fine

 

[emranabbas]

Whoever advocates for Tatoo khan’s inclusion in the Pak team on this forum should be banned & is a enemy of Pak.

Babar selected him just have to back what we have

 

[alishahid]

Who are the reserve players for the world cup? Pak squad

 

[cricketmania22]

Naseem is not starting. Hasn’t looked great since his comeback.

Because it was a premature comeback. He has no rhythm.

 

[mominsaigol]

Even I can wicket keep better then azam lol, I wouldn't have dropped that? Like ever? And I'm gully level?

 

[NeVerMind]

He's in the WT20 squad. He'll be starting against India no question about that. Either him or Shadab

Can he fake an injury e.g. severe food poisoning form eating yesterday's leftovers?

 

[cricketmania22]

why are they not hitting Shadab out of the park?

 

[Usman Chadda]

Because it was a premature comeback. He has no rhythm.

Agreed.

 

[gazza619]

Disgusting.

Anyone want to justify this joker's selection?

There are quite few well known posters on this forum who were dying to see him in the squad. I can see they are hiding their faces now. I have never supported Azam, never ever.

 

[mominsaigol]

Oh he caught one,

 

[cricketmania22]

Shadab is key in the worldcup

For the opposition?

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

I’m confused, there were people here telling me Azam Khan was was going to score 50 off 15 and was an excellent wicketkeeper. He looks more like to blow a coronary than ever make a decent score

moin khan has a strong lobby

 

[alishahid]

But from what we withessed, we wont be seeing azam khan in the world cup. Maybe saim at three and usman at 5? Pakistan spoilt for choices with what they have selected haha

 

[RidiculousMan]

Shadab better in his line today. Giving less width

 

[jnaveen1980]

It is raining why are they taking time out lol

 

[batandballbattle]

shadab showing control when the game is practically lost and all the pressure is off

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

Might as well given Huraira a go.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Can he fake an injury e.g. severe food poisoning form eating yesterday's leftovers?

Only Mr. Mohsin can arrange that

 

[RyanRyan10]

Last 4 overs

24 runs and 2 wickets

 

[alishahid]

For the opposition?

Key for what else could it be. Definitely the opposition

 

[mominsaigol]

There are quite few well known posters on this forum who were dying to see him in the squad. I can see they are hiding their faces now. I have never supported Azam, never ever.

Most of your opinions are good except the chacha at 4 thing. Don't know why you said that. Otherwise who supports azam? Haris was always a better choice regardless of form same with abrar was always > usama irrespective of PSL

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

It is raining why are they taking time out lol

kudrat ki nizam

 

[adzzy786]

Only Mr. Mohsin can arrange that

I’m sure the sharifs can do anything. Put Azam khan in prison for going against his country.

 

[emranabbas]

Shadab better in his line today. Giving less width

Bro England don't need to smash shadab out the park they already won the game

 

[cricketmania22]

Last 4 overs

24 runs and 2 wickets

This tells us how bad our bowlers were in the first 6 overs.

 

[Fanti78]

Jis ki biwi Moti…..

 

[cricketgal<3]

It’s a done deal
Good luck to us in the World Cup

 

[Rana]

Please give Naseem another over

 

[Asad T]

Did you catch what Ian ward said about filed placements? He said we placed them too square or too straight

 

[Rana]

That’s how you swat a slower ball

 

[gazza619]

Most of your opinions are good except the chacha at 4 thing. Don't know why you said that. Otherwise who supports azam? Haris was always a better choice regardless of form same with abrar was always > usama irrespective of PSL

To be honest if there is one batter who looks comfortable against 95 mph in the Pakistan line up, it is chacha. He also looks good against quality spin.

With Fakhar now settled at no.4, I would send Chacha at 5.

 

[TeymurBlake]

YORKERRRRRRRR

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Why slower bowl at full length? Poor .

 

[AAli98]

That was moins son today before a international match

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Absolute beauty

 

[imshally81]

Bowled emm

 

[kingusama92]

World-class yorker from Rauf

 

[alik]

If I was a domesitc player like sahibzada farhan, who top scores every season but doesnt even get a psl game in his natural position, watching azam khan play in this team would actually make me want to just retire. This nepotism is one of the main reasons why so many of our players decide to switch to other countries like usman khan going to UAE before this season.

 

[RyanRyan10]

Haris deserves a cake for bowling his heart out

 

[adzzy786]

That was moins son today before a international match

He is pathetic

 

[Rana]

Shadab Back in form

 

[TeymurBlake]

These are some sixes from Bairstow.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Man, Shahdab has escaped, not what I was hoping for, he be there again for the whole WC now.

 

[jnaveen1980]

With not much backlift. what power.

 

[adzzy786]

Shadab Back in form

6

 

[Kroll]

What a bowler Shadab is! Just erred a bit on line and length and those Bairstow shots wouldn't have gone for 6.

 

[adzzy786]

6 again

 

[imshally81]

Shadab got some treatment

 

[Rana]

Stand in your crease and ease sixes over cover against spin

Our players can’t hit a spinner for six unless it’s a slog sweep or they come half way down the track

 

[imshally81]

These are some sixes from Bairstow.

Thanks Bairstow bhai

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Naseem going at 17 RPO.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

We need Shahdab out, these 160 totals are not going to put anyone under pressure.

 

[Rana]

Chris Broad

He was one of the guys who helped save the Sri Lankan team in Pakistan during that attack in Lahore

Historic bloke

 

[Cric_lover4487]

I am afraid Shadab is going Irfan Pathan way. Tried too hard to become allrounder and ended up losing bowling skills too. He should take inspiration from Naseem. Be a lethal strike bowler who can occasionally slog long handle down the order, if needed.

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

The way Shadab was consoling Azam K after dropping the catch and then finally catching it looked like a mom telling her little chubby boy that he'll be fine

the way he came between rauf and azam.. it felt like he doubted that rauf would attack tge kadu bech bachao krany wala reaction tha

 

[jnaveen1980]

Shadab is neither a Shane warne nor Klusner. He is avge in both department. Quintessential what you call Railu katta?

 

[Usman Chadda]

50 runs more and this would have been a competitive game.

The batsmen continue to sell the bowling down the river.

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

What about if we make Ifti,Usman K,Fakhar and Saim bat first and then Babar and Rizwan for the last 5-10 overs?

Our issue is unreliablity post 10 over mark. I would rather have Babar and Rizwan coming in.

T20 bowling is mainly about scoreboard pressure so we should concentrate on getting the batting order right.

 

[Ali Active]

crowd trolling azam

 

[mominsaigol]

50 runs more and this would have been a competitive game.

The batsmen continue to sell the bowling down the river.

Yes tell that to babar, he should say we were 50 runs short

 

[jnaveen1980]

Crowd is cheering for clean collection from Azam khan

 

[batandballbattle]

50 runs more and this would have been a competitive game.

The batsmen continue to sell the bowling down the river.

come off it, the game was finished within the first 5 overs we bowled

 

[Usman Chadda]

come off it, the game was finished within the first 5 overs we bowled

Game was finished once we were 81-5.

 

[emranabbas]

wow what an over by shaheen only 3 off the over

 

[KingKhanWC]

Their team is specifically built for belter wickets. But I suspect they still have some fault lines. They fell like a pack of cards against Afghanistan in World Cup on a tricky surface.

That's why I believe they needed a batter like Malan at 3 or 4.

Good point , windies conditions could be very very different but likely to be flat decks at this time of year , early summer etc.

England have been playing attacking cricket in all formats , it’s become normal play for them esp batting . This is why you’re seeing supreme confidence . Pakistan are polar opposites atm .

 

[Shaka81]

This Pakistan team is embarrassing to watch. They look like a group of amateurs compared to the professional approach of England.

 

[TeymurBlake]

Naseem is being taken to the cleaners.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Harry Brook seems to be out of touch. His favorite team is Pakistan. Him struggling against them means he is still to get his rhyhtm back at the internationals.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Average swing for PAK

Shaheen - 1.6
Rauf - 0.7
Naseem -0.6
Aamir - 0.5

 

[Asad T]

Stuart Broad "Any left-arm bowler who can swing it in at that pace will always be a threat with the new ball. I wonder if Shaheen Afridi would be better off just bowling 3 overs up front in the Powerplay instead of 2."

 

[batandballbattle]

Game was finished once we were 81-5.

so both disciplines were bad today, there's no one selling anyone down the river the team is being swept away by the current

Pitches in WC 2023 was also expected more flat and they were. But there were some tricky pitches in between.

You only need to get down on one or two of those pitches and you're out of the tournament.

 

[TeymurBlake]

Only positive is Haris Rauf bowled well.

 

[Kroll]

Naseem is being taken to the cleaners.

Not sure why they want to play all these pacers as its made no difference, surely we need more batsmen and not guys like Shady, Fatty and Chacha.

 

[Kroll]

Yessssss! 0-2 as opposed to 0-4.

Remember lads, its not the winning but the taking part that counts.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

This wasn't the big belter pitch just as I thought. PAK were definitely under par but really pathetic bowling by Naseem and Aamir made this look easier.

 

[Kroll]

Only positive is Haris Rauf bowled well.

Rauf's legs will turn to jelly when he faces Kohli.

 

[Local.Dada]

Haris Rauf has bowled excellently but still goes for over 10 rpo
