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

[shamaan]

No Naseem. His numbers post-comeback reads 36 at an ER of 9.60. Need him back in form before the World Cup as he provides the control that the more expensive Shaheen and Rauf can lack.

Amir can play that role but still feeling his way back from a 4 year absence.

Still no Abrar which is strange. Unless we don't have him exposed too much and want to retain his mystery for the World Cup, you'd think he'd have featured more especially given the nature of many of the surfaces in WI/USA !

Naseem looks like he's injured I am at the ground he looks injured and exhausted

 

[mominsaigol]

Babar should use his brain and play first 4 overs with shaheen and Amir

Nope, Abass in PP coming right up

 

[emranabbas]

Naseem looks like he's injured I am at the ground he looks injured and exhausted

The poor guy never gets any rest even plays vs Ireland

 

[mominsaigol]

Naseem looks like he's injured I am at the ground he looks injured and exhausted

Nothing new, he's basically the bowling version of haris sohail

 

[emranabbas]

Nope, Abass in PP coming right up

Abbas isn't in the playing 11 we have spray gun rauf

 

[Human786]

any pictures of pitch ? 190 par ?

 

[shamaan]

any pictures of pitch ? 190 par ?

200 par

 

[shamaan]

The poor guy never gets any rest even plays vs Ireland

What's even worse is he shouldn't be practising if he's injured

 

[emranabbas]

any pictures of pitch ? 190 par ?

200+ small boundary with fast outfield

 

[mominsaigol]

Abbas isn't in the playing 11 we have spray gun rauf

Hmm, I think Rauf will bowl in pp and death. Assuming Bobby is smart and doesn't go for his usual 3 pacers in pp strategy

 

[emranabbas]

What's even worse is he shouldn't be practising if he's injured

Shaeen and naseem should be taken extra care off for vs top teams and tournaments

We have many bowling options now

 

[mominsaigol]

any pictures of pitch ? 190 par ?

200 par Edgbaston is 50M plus pitch is a pindi belter

 

[Hyder]

Imad Shadab Chacha Saim surely they all can bowl lot of overs in wc.

 

[Hyder]

If saim doesnt fire in these matches i m afraid we ll have to bring in usman

 

[Nikhil_cric]

SonyLiv showed the highlights of the 3rd T20 between these sides from 2021. Close thriller thanks to some ridiculous pelting by

 

[emranabbas]

Shaheen already looks tired

 

[FearlessRoar]

Shaheen is looking calm and lethal

 

[emranabbas]

Azam khan

 

[emranabbas]

Atleast the pakistan body language is looking positive

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Pakistan should have played Abrar ahead of Rauf maybe.

Left arm pace and away spin to target the whole RHB heavy batting lineup.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Lol. How is this a fast outfield ? It's slow.

 

[Human786]

8 in first

 

[Ahmed216]

Got predictable in the end Shaheen

 

[Human786]

Ifti the beast at 7 , Imad at 8 .... deep .

 

[FearlessRoar]

Azam Khan keeping

 

[Deewana Mastana]

How many from here at the ground?

 

[Nasty Naz]

Good over ruined by the boundary at the end.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Pakistan should have played Abrar ahead of Rauf maybe.

Left arm pace and away spin to target the whole RHB heavy batting lineup.

This is what I wanted too but Pak being Pak.

 

[MenInG]

Warwickshire County or most counties give first priority of tickets to their members. It will be a 70-30 England crowd I recon.

If it were Pakistan v anyone but India, you could expect an 80-20 Pakistan crowed

Saj tells us overwhelming Pakistan support today

 

[emranabbas]

Whata ball by amir

 

[shaz619]

Speed guns are not going to be fabricated today

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Pak getting away with 2 full tosses inside 6 ballsn

 

[Human786]

telecast at Sony Sports HD in India rather sharp - pitch looks like 220 .
ps- horrid keto ad back . c @MenInG

 

[shaz619]

How is that Rhythm doing now Mr. Shaheen

 

[Ahmed216]

Azam Khan keeping

Rizwan not keeping to accomodate him

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Speed guns are not going to be fabricated today

They're both operating in 80-84mph

 

[emranabbas]

Wow amir

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Amir effort ball at 140 kph.

 

[shaz619]

Anybody spotted me in the crowd yet:

 

[FearlessRoar]

Lethal swings from Mohammad Amir

 

[Ahmed216]

Good bowling Amir

 

[MenInG]

Amir effort ball at 140 kph.

Faster than Afridi

 

[Deewana Mastana]

They've run 3 there had it been ours it would've been a rushed 2.

 

[shaz619]

Love the aggression from Pakistan, I can see about 5 slips in the cordon

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Shaheen getting smashed by Salt.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Faster than Afridi

For now. Shaheen can be quicker on his day.

 

[da_don]

shadab hogging spot that abrar deserves
azam hogging spot of mohd haris

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

Why is Naseem injured again?

 

[Ahmed216]

Predictable very predictable Shaheen

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Shaheen 142 kph but hit for a boundary.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

88mph Shaheen

 

[PakFan2010]

Amir rarely bowls bad balls.

He is so much better than Rauf

 

[shaz619]

Great stuff from Aamir he is the leader of this attack make no mistake!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Salt's aggression and how he's worked on his game over the last 8 months or so is tremendous to see.

 

[Sher Khan]

Amir looks charged up today

 

[MenInG]

For now. Shaheen can be quicker on his day.

Ok 142 kph now

 

[shaz619]

He use to be called Shaheen ‘1st Over Wicket’ Afridi,

Now he is,

Shaheen ‘1 boundary per Over’ Afridi

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Too full from Shaheen. Can't keep bowling that length without swing.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Amir rarely bowls bad balls.

He is so much better than Rauf

How many would Rauf bowl today out of 24?

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Shaheen getting smashed by Salt.

There's no swing even with the new ball. Maybe the wind is killing the movement, but should make it a lot easier to negotiate the opening overs for the batsmen.

 

[shaz619]

People surprised by Amir’s performance thus far just don’t get the kinda player he is

 

[Ali Active]

this is gonna be rough beating by england

 

[Deewana Mastana]

this is gonna be rough beating by england

Have you stopped watching already?

 

[Human786]

decent after 3 overs - on this deck could have easily been 40 .

 

[shaz619]

Shaheen is so predictable with his full lengths, getting smashed to bits and rightfully so. Is the Rhythm getting better yet?

 

[topspin]

Great first over by Amir. Shaheen's second over not so good.

 

[shaz619]

Horrible horrible club level bowling from Shaheen

 

[Human786]

outttttttttttttt

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Gone

Salt by Imad

 

[MenInG]

Great first over by Amir. Shaheen's second over not so good.

Smashed.

 

[emranabbas]

Imad and Amir

 

[Ali Active]

Have you stopped watching already?

nah watching but short boundaries flat pitch is gonna lower the moral of pakistani bowlers

 

[followed]

Shaheen bowling good pace today good to see that

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Good use of match up. Phil Salt is weakest against SLA spin.

 

[CerebralPatriot]

Brilliant bowling Maddy and great chatter from Azam Khan

 

[Deewana Mastana]

nah watching but short boundaries flat pitch is gonna lower the moral of pakistani bowlers

Welcome to T20 cricket!
