England (183/7) beat Pakistan (160) by 23 runs in the 2nd T20I to go up 1-0 in the 4-match T20I series

[PakPremi]

Azam Khan batted as I expected, Shadab has become the new Nawaz, mediocre all rounder.

 

[Ali T]

does Pakistan really need azam

There's no way Azam Khan should play ahead of Usman Khan

 

[topspin]

Game over

 

[offstump]

Well that’s the match

 

[MANU ROY]

Pakistan hope is gone fakhar out

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Azam khan, Saim , Shadab need to go

Lol they are gonna go to the US for WT20 holidays

 

[NeVerMind]

Fakhar gone and there goes the match

 

[Ahmed216]

Rizwan and Babar went early. Should have been an easy win for us with modern day greats like azam shadab ifti in the lineup

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Pakistan hope is gone fakhar out

Yes switched off the tv

 

[offstump]

Ifti needs to go berserk

 

[Galla]

The real issue is we only have usman khan as a backup batter in the squad while we ideally need replacements for ayub,azam,ifti and shadab.

 

[PakFan2010]

1. Fakhar
2. Rizwan
3. Babar
4. Usman Khan
5. Iftikhar Ahmed
6. Azam Khan
7. Imad Wasim
8. Shaheen
9. Naseem Shah
10. Mohammad Amir
11. Abrar Ahmed

This should be our team.

 

[Inswing]

The only batsman who could do something gone.

What a shameful defeat.

 

[Kroll]

Chacha looking like no 12 against Archer.

Its not a surprise tbh, guy keeps getting a free ride just cos he scored some runs against Australia many years ago. Literally been a constant failure ever since.

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Rizwan and Babar went early. Should have been an easy win for us with modern day greats like azam shadab ifti in the lineup

Modern day greats . Hope that’s sarcastic

 

[NeVerMind]

You haven't got a chance if you have Azam, Shadab, Ifti and Saim as your batting line up...

 

[Sherazkhalid]

With this batting it's hard to win, just one player making any contribution.

 

[Mohraheem]

1. Fakhar
2. Rizwan
3. Babar
4. Usman Khan
5. Iftikhar Ahmed
6. Azam Khan
7. Imad Wasim
8. Shaheen
9. Naseem Shah
10. Mohammad Amir
11. Abrar Ahmed

This should be our team.

Again … ifthikar is bakwaas when will u realize

 

[topspin]

I didn't predict this but @Mohraheem did.

DeadlyVenom will tell you Ifti's selection is justified

 

[RidiculousMan]

You haven't got a chance if you have Azam, Shadab, Ifti and Saim as your batting line up...

There aren't better in Pakistan aither

 

[Usman Chadda]

Ifti is 2 off 7 balls. He keeps doing this and is somehow a power hitter.

 

[MANU ROY]

Yes switched off the tv

I don't need switched off the tv

 

[NeVerMind]

You haven't got a chance if you have Azam, Shadab, Ifti and Saim as your batting line up...

Can't replace all of them so have no chance

 

[MANU ROY]

U spelt Ifthikhar wrong

No i talk about the panda

 

[salman24]

1. Fakhar
2. Rizwan
3. Babar
4. Usman Khan
5. Iftikhar Ahmed
6. Azam Khan
7. Imad Wasim
8. Shaheen
9. Naseem Shah
10. Mohammad Amir
11. Abrar Ahmed

This should be our team.

So we should make an already weak batting lineup shorter? Yeah sounds logical

 

[emranabbas]

Rizwan and Babar went early. Should have been an easy win for us with modern day greats like azam shadab ifti in the lineup

Shadab and ifti are also babar and misbah products. What is azam suppose to do on his own

 

[topspin]

This is why Imad should bat ahead of Azam and Ifti

 

[Mohraheem]

Ifti is 2 off 7 balls. He keeps doing this and is somehow a power hitter.

His fan base is over hyping him because they took candies from him in his Blue mini van

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Its not a surprise tbh, guy keeps getting a free ride just cos he scored some runs against Australia many years ago. Literally been a constant failure ever since.

He struggles against Livingstone too. Gully cricketer at best

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

The standard of commentary has gone down.

 

[emranabbas]

Maddy should come in at 5 he's a proper batsmen

 

[Asif321]

Ifti and maddy on fire

 

[Mohraheem]

Imad is already in front of Ifthikhar

 

[NeVerMind]

This is why Imad should bat ahead of Azam and Ifti

Both Azam and Ifti, along with Shadab should not be even in the team!

 

[Markhor]

Babar's decision to win the toss and bowl first when the stats favoured batting first at Edgbaston will be questioned - but the flaws in the team are there regardless.

- Saim has ran out of rope.
- Babar continues to stall against spin.
- Azam's put on more kilos than runs in a green shirt.
- Ifti's numbers are awful this year.
- We've cursed Shadab enough today but this was genuinely one of the worst individual performances in any format.

We can still make a decent combination from this World Cup squad but whether Babar wants to drop some of his mates remains to be seen.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Chacha teeing off

 

[IAJ]

Just looking at the scorecard. Mediocre performance so far, bur not surprised though.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Last recognised pair at the crease

 

[mominsaigol]

DeadlyVenom will tell you Ifti's selection is justified

Oh and I also predicted Pakistan losing badly and that Imad is a better bat then chacha and shadab although the imad part isn't a prediction it's a fact

 

[Ahmed216]

Shadab and ifti are also babar and misbah products. What is azam suppose to do on his own

On his own he can eat the entire McD menu

 

[shaz619]

The batting order is diabolical from the top to bottom

 

[Mohraheem]

Fluke shot by Ifthikhar

 

[topspin]

Both Azam and Ifti, along with Shadab should not be even in the team!

Agreed but it's too now to make wholesale changes to the squad. We're stuck for them until the WT20.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Teams are scoring 220 plus these days and we are stuck in the 160 mindset.

 

[emranabbas]

On his own he can eat the entire McD menu

We still have our boys imad amir and shaheen left

 

[shaz619]

With that Chukka, Ifti Chacha has booked his plane ticket to the USA! Well done.

 

[Ahmed216]

We still have our boys imad amir and shaheen left

Too big an ask I think. Last pair this

 

[Mohraheem]

Chacha teeing off

Relax buddy stop with fantasy and over hyping

Usman might end up an inspired selection, but his strokeplay against pace doesn’t inspire confidence either.

Azam is not good enough. He might be trying his hardest but when he is opening himself up literally every delivery, he is not going to do much.

 

[shaz619]

Can imagine scenes, Ifti Chacha in New York, he hasn’t been to times square before!

 

[Kroll]

Both Azams and Ifti, along with Shadab should not be even in the team!

Fixed that for you.

 

[Mohraheem]

With that Chukka, Ifti Chacha has booked his plane ticket to the USA! Well done.

Stop taking candies from Chacha in his mini van

 

[topspin]

They will never show the pitch invader

 

[Markhor]

Oh dear what's happened here ? Pitch invader ?

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Archer gonna clean them all up.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Can imagine scenes, Ifti Chacha in New York, he hasn’t been to times square before!

Azam Khan attacking the bagels and hot dogs on the streets of NYC

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Chahat Fateh Ali ran on the pitch to do bado badi with Chacha

 

[topspin]

They will never show the pitch invader

I hope he didn't take his clothes off otherwise Major would've got excited.

 

[emranabbas]

Oh dear what's happened here ? Pitch invader ?

Bet its a pakistani

 

[Markhor]

Anyone remember Natwest Series 2001 ? Crowds were absolutely wild back then.

Anyway equation still manageable but not easy to hit when pace is off.

 

[mominsaigol]

Probs some PP poster running on the pitch

 

[Mohraheem]

Ifthikhar playing tuktuk

 

[topspin]

Anyone remember Natwest Series 2001 ? Crowds were absolutely wild back then.

Anyway equation still manageable but not easy to hit when pace is off.

One of the games had to be stopped because of a pitch invasion. Pakistan ended up winning by D/L.

Edgbaston is a massive bat first pitch. There are issues with the batting but Shadab was the biggest culprit today. Getting smoked at 14 RPO on this pitch is unforgivable.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Probs some PP poster running on the pitch

It's @topspin running with his kachay over his head

 

[MANU ROY]

Chacha trying play virat mcg innings

 

[topspin]

Probs some PP poster running on the pitch

Probably Major because Babar is "so hot yaar"

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Pakistan showing their traditional fear of pace bowling, treating Archer like he is Joel Garner reincarnate.

 

[NeVerMind]

Chacha a poor man's Misbah...one six and then tuk tuk

 

[DeadlyVenom]

@topspin is representing the LGBTQ fans in Birmingham today

 

[offstump]

England would have ran home if someone invaded the pitch in Pakistan

 

[emranabbas]

Ain't this chacha a finisher?

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Anyone remember Natwest Series 2001 ? Crowds were absolutely wild back then.

Anyway equation still manageable but not easy to hit when pace is off.

I was there and still remember it like yesterday.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Relax buddy stop with fantasy and over hyping

Imad and Chacha will see us home

 

[Vikram1989]

Now required run rate is exactly 12.60 runs from 30 balls and babar is not there

 

[OldWarHorse]

Ain't this chacha a finisher?

Yup looks like doing his job well

 

[Markhor]

Good bowling from Archer. Pace off, cutter, yorker etc.

T20 not always about the speed gun.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Lol Imad pleading with Iftikhar to smash someone, anyone

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Chacha is clueless against pace, he is totally unable to manage pace.

 

[emranabbas]

Yup looks like doing his job well

Playing run a ball when 2 a ball is required?
