England (332/7) beat Pakistan (331/9) by three wickets to win the ODI series 3-0

[Rana]

Nothing, terrible ball!

 

[Mesozoic]

Oh boyy pak needs wickets here. If England play even 45 overs they're gonna win this.

 

[Ahmed216]

Ghabrana nahi hai changes nahi karna hai

 

[guna]

Fielders from both sides getting plenty of exercise.

 

[Justcrazy]

Four

Beautiful timing by Crawley

 

[Snowflake]

Oh this is bad bowling

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

Atleast one boundary per over

 

[Savak]

This was a belter of a wicket. We are probably 30-40 runs short. We might end up paying for our pathetic death overs batting and lack of defensive skills with the ball on placid wickets, you can't blindly go striving for wickets when the wicket has absolutely nothing in it.

 

[guna]

England are motoring along here.

Harris strikes.

 

[Ahmed216]

Crawley got past his domestic average of 30

 

[jattafridi]

Out

 

[Rana]

Besides the odd ball with width

Rauf has been our best bowler on show

 

[Snowflake]

So... According to Misbah/Waqar, Amir is still not good enough for this team?

 

[jattafridi]

Lucky Ben stokes is here

 

[jusarrived]

England will most likely lose this, but even their second string batting is much better to watch than most other sides including Indias

 

[Rana]

Crawley got past his domestic average of 30

Thats where he will stay

 

[guna]

England will most likely lose this, but even their second string batting is much better to watch than most other sides including Indias

Indian ODI batting has improved with the exit of MS Dhoni.

 

[Rana]

Terrible bowling choice by Babar

Just the bowler you want to face when a wicket has fallen at the other end

 

[jusarrived]

Wicket and next ball smashed for 4 ..this is pretty awesome

 

[OldWarHorse]

Fair to say Haris Rauf enjoyed that

 

[Rafa]

Rather than picking more wickets. Babar brings Faheem to release pressure once again. Great Captaincy.

 

[AdamM97]

Rana Saab welcomed with a four.

 

[shariqnoor]

Instead of 2 years with Waqar, both Shaheen and Rauf need 2 years with the MRF pace academy or with Bharat Arun.

 

[Rana]

Rizwan should get his helmet and stand up to Faheem. It may just make him a bit more threatening on this track

 

[jusarrived]

Indian ODI batting has improved with the exit of MS Dhoni.

Sure it has

 

[Abdurmirr]

It’s pretty depressing seeing the state of PK bowling today. Our best bowler Hasan wouldn’t even make the reserves of any top A-C team

 

[guna]

I feel Stokes is an overrated ODI player.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan have upper hand here , its a big target , England needs to play very well to come close.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

It’s pretty depressing seeing the state of PK bowling today. Our best bowler Hasan wouldn’t even make the reserves of any top A-C team

Not as depressing as seeing Pakistan's prehistoric test match batting compared to England's attacking approach.

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

What's their obsession with short ball ?

 

[Rana]

Stokes being too nice today. Maybe because it is an auspicious occasion.

Winning the toss in a dead rubber and bowling first on a 500+ wicket.

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

Still a boundary every over

 

[shariqnoor]

Pakistani fans may not like it, but Shaheen is definitely one of the most overrated bowlers in world cricket. If he doesn't get a wicket in his first spell with the new ball, expect a royal thrashing. Has no sense of how to approach a bowling innings.

 

[sindhiboy]

I'm not a Rauf hater.
But those wickets were a result of bad shots

 

[Titan24]

Need to bring in Hassan for Stokes and maybe Shadab from the other end

 

[Rana]

No width please!!

 

[Rana]

Pakistani fans may not like it, but Shaheen is definitely one of the most overrated bowlers in world cricket. If he doesn't get a wicket in his first spell with the new ball, expect a royal thrashing. Has no sense of how to approach a bowling innings.

He is a glorified Umar Gul.

 

[jusarrived]

I feel Stokes is an overrated ODI player.

Lol he's not

 

[shariqnoor]

He is a glorified Umar Gul.

That's an insult to Umar Gul. Umar Gul at least had a good 3-4 years run where he was lethal. Shaheen has never had a golden run. Just some odd matches here and there.

 

[Justcrazy]

England need a solid partnership here to come close and make the match entertaining.

 

[Greenstorm]

Good thing about Rauf is that he attacks stumps.

 

[guna]

Pakistan just needs the wicket of Stokes here and England will fold for under 220. I don't see anyone after these 2 who can put up any fight. A bunch of nobodies are yet to bat for England.

 

[Rana]

That's an insult to Umar Gul. Umar Gul at least had a good 3-4 years run where he was lethal. Shaheen has never had a golden run. Just some odd matches here and there.

Shaheen will have it also at some point but he is nowhere near as humble as Gul was to work hard and earn that golden run. I fear this guy will think he is The Rock or Cristiano Ronaldo if he ever produces a world class performance like Gul did in the 2007-09 T20 World cup and 2011 50 over world cup.

 

[Rana]

How have sky sacked David Gower but have retained Bumble Lloyd?

Its like Pakistan sacking Woolmer and appointing Misbah as head coach

 

[castortroy]

This is definitely the most expensive pak attack ever

 

[guna]

How have sky sacked David Gower but have retained Bumble Lloyd?

Its like Pakistan sacking Woolmer and appointing Misbah as head coach

The worst part is that they hired Dinesh Kartik as part of their team.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

We are an embarrassment

 

[guna]

Hasan Ali

 

[Darkrai]

Can't even field...

 

[marlonbrowndo]

The worst part is that they hired Dinesh Kartik as part of their team.

He’s pretty good and he will only improve.

 

[NeVerMind]

And we drop Stokes...wonderful!

 

[AAli98]

Can’t bat can’t ball can’t field apart from that Pak are a good team !

 

[Greenstorm]

That's an insult to Umar Gul. Umar Gul at least had a good 3-4 years run where he was lethal. Shaheen has never had a golden run. Just some odd matches here and there.

Shaheen is only 21 and is already averaging in low 20s. Be careful, you are taking about a future ATG here.

 

[Sunny_majoka]

Embarrassing

 

[guna]

He’s pretty good and he will only improve.

I feel like sleeping when Karthik comes on.

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

I hate this team man

 

[Titan24]

Fielding has been terrible

 

[Ab Fan]

Stokes has always been lucky.

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Hasan dropped match here .

 

[badsha001]

Can’t bat can’t ball can’t field apart from that Pak are a good team !

they are very competitive in social media. I also heard rumors that they are very good at celebrating inside/outside the field...

 

[sindhiboy]

What a display of fielding )

 

[Rafa]

Is there any venom in Faheems bowling ? Just a very ordinary pressure release bowler.

 

[castortroy]

England A team would probably have chased this down in 40 overs

 

[guna]

Is there any venom in Faheems bowling ? Just a very ordinary pressure release bowler.

He is a medium pacer and the pitch is super flat. You cannot blame him.

 

[Rafa]

Just forfeit the match rather than giving ball to Faheem

 

[castortroy]

England should get this score

 

[guna]

Poor effort once again.

 

[jusarrived]

15 overs they already have enough to create a package of paks fielding so far

 

[Darkrai]

Another drop LMAO

 

[guna]

This is unforgivable.

 

[Sunny_majoka]

Another chance

 

[NeVerMind]

and we drop stokes again!

 

[castortroy]

What a horrible team this is

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Arghhhhhg

 

[BDfanforever]

Hasan should have caught that one, but Maqsood one was difficult chance.

 

[Sunny_majoka]

Where you hide this specialist finisher

 

[Rana]

We were never this terrible in the field when Mickey was our coach, even during that brief stint where Rixon had left us

 

[ishtiaq_ctg]

Embarrassing Fielding from Pakistan. inexcusable.

 

[guna]

Shdab doing a good job.

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

clear indication of team in dire need of professionalism and athleticism. Desi coaches are never gonna bring it.
