What's new

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

Brother Simpson doing us some favours, eating up balls and then kills a review on exit. Someone send him some mithai
 
England don't look too serious about this match and their casual approach suggests so..taking it as a practice match.

We will see more intensity in the T20 series.
 
Shadab has bowled really well today. Not easy to come back from the disappointment of having Stokes dropped twice but, he kept on going
 
Game should be done and dusted.

But why do I get the feeling Gregory will end up hitting the winning runs
 
Pak need to realise unless playing in Aus or NZ, they have better chances against non Asian teams by playing two spinners (one spin all rounder ie Shadab Imad or nawaz) and one main spinner like Qadir
 
The fielder's are constantly diving but save nothing..lot of stunts.
 
Simpson was better off at the crease. Gregory is somewhat dangerous.
 
Shadab should set Gregory up for the sweep.

Bowl a few leggies, and then bowl a quicker one at the pads.
 
Vince is the dangerman. I reckon Shadab will take Vince, if not, then Shakeel.
 
Rizwan forcing himself to play because he knows that his T20 spot will be taken by Sharjeel.
 
England need 150 runs from 23 overs. RRR: 6.52

Pakistan ahead in the game , its a matter of one more wicket

Nah I’m pretty sure Mr 10 off 44 is more disposable. Plus ain’t you the one who justifies Imam’s selection because of average. If is wasn’t mistaken Rizwan averages higher than Sharjeel in T20s :genius
 
England has the luxury of taking it slow now. Their top order brought them so much ahead of the game.

I love this English approach towards LOI batting.
 
I think club teams can field better than what Pak has done today. Not sure how it has turned around suddenly when they were pretty decent in SA

Lazy attitude towards fielding.

Fielding is an extremely important part of the sport, which we will never understand.
 
Why does babar persist with playing Hasan, Rauf and afridi in the same team

It's not fit for the 50 over game. None of them are disciplined and spray the ball everywhere.

No score is safe with this bowling line up
 
12 runs from the over .what a match losing effort..Hassan Ali is determined to lose the match for Pakistan today sometimes with his loose bowling and fielding .

You just named our entire bowling lineup. Who else is there to pick from? Husnain? he is the same type of bowler.

You can't play all 3 together. Hasan and Rauf are particularly expensive.

Get Amir back in the team. He will at least give us some control
 
This Lewis Gregory is probably a better batsman than 80% of all of Pakistani batsmen (inclusive of all domestic batsmen)
 
Saud could have had a wicket too if not for Imam jumping like a monkey and dropping it. Vince would be the lone man batting then but now he has Gregory on the other side.
 
Pakistan letting England back into the match here.

This partnership is getting worrying now.
 
Hasan and Shadab need to take wickets. They are realistically the only ones capable at this stage.

Pitch is extremely flat, but there is some spin.

I reckon we should use some slower balls on Gregory, he isn't timing it too well.
 
Hassan Ali is often the partnership breaker..when the team needs a breakthrough he often provides it. Don't know what's wrong with him today.
 
Might be worth trying a brief 2 over stint of Shaheen. But he needs to bowl full and straight at the stumps
 
Faheem has bowled 5 , Saud has bowled four so Saud only.has to bowl another one and that's 5th bowlers quota done. Then Prime bowlers can be brought on without worrying about the fifth bowler.
 
The bowling has been poor, the fielding has been even worse and had it not been for Babar and Riz brilliance we have got humiliated today.
 
Off-topic, but if our middle order woes continue, I'm predicting Umar Akmal's comeback by June 2022. He will somehow get selected, unfortunately.
 
I can only see Rauf breaking this partnership. He has done it before multiple times in his short career.
