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

[marlonbrowndo]

This fielding )

 

[castortroy]

Man pak bowlers are always so expensive

 

[RexRex]

Pakistan are getting clobbered like a cheap plastic pinata ! Halt the flow of runs somebody.

 

[Rafa]

What a rubbish bowling team Pakistan has become.

 

[sindhiboy]

Steady down Shaheen ) )

 

[kingusama92]

The pitch is flat but this is pretty rubbish bowling.

 

[YousafTheBeast]

Salt peppering Shaheen all around the park

 

[Ahmed216]

We needed good spinners against these new english batsmen. Pak should have got the clue from last game

 

[Local.Dada]

Is it just me or Salt resembles Glen Maxwell a little

 

[Omer2002]

Cant blame the bowling its the batting and the pitch...this score was never enough. Thus the tuk tuk for first 30 overs by us was useless

 

[Rana]

Phil salt cant buy a run in the PSL yet is absolutely murdering Shaheen at international level

 

[ssuhaide]

Panicstan rattled. Afridi bowling all over the place.

 

[Rana]

Who is the fielding coach of Pakistan?

Is it the legend Misbah himself? These are the fitness standards he has been harping on about?????

 

[Duckworth Lewis]

England rubbing Salt on our wounds.

 

[Ahmed216]

Is it just me or Salt resembles Glen Maxwell a little

My dad pointed out exactly the same to me

 

[Rana]

Bring on Rauf or Faheem

He wont do any worse than pointless Shaheen!

 

[Rana]

Full and straight please. None of that short stuff

 

[Local.Dada]

Comedy cricket all around so far , hackish batting, mediocre bowling and comedy fielding and terrible umpiring and 0 game sense

 

[Faizan001]

Our bowling class being exposed brutally.

 

[Rana]

3 specialist bowlers with one of them being Haris Rauf. We should be able to win this against their C team but if this was their main team, they would chase this with their eyes closed

 

[Titan24]

Was on the cards

 

[NeVerMind]

Bring on Rauf or Faheem

He wont do any worse than pointless Shaheen!

right on and Rauf gets Salt!

 

[Titan24]

Have to agree.

It always surprises me how professional bowlers struggle so much to ball in decent areas so often as they are practicing the basic stock lengths day in and day out. Pressure maybe

 

[Rana]

James Vince the Mohammad Rizwan of England

 

[Abdurmirr]

Our bowling line up bar Hasan must have a combined cricketing iq of less than 50. No plans, no strategy, just bowl and hope for the best

 

[Rana]

Full and Straight all day Rauf Brother

 

[marlonbrowndo]

I guess a half tracker being hit straight to the fielder makes up for the last game he almost single handedly lost for us by bringing England back. He could take 8 wickets here and you could quote me 8 times a day. Won’t change the fact that he’s utter garbage and anyone with even a semblance of cricketing IQ can tell.

 

[Ahmed216]

Rauf bowling a much better line today so far

 

[Rana]

No need for that short of the length stuff. Just attack the stumps Rauf

 

[Titan24]

Salt is entertaining but with his style of play currently its hard to be consistent. However, there is something to work with as he falls in Eng current era whiteball style of play. He has already scored more than what one would have expected with this style in ODI cricket, Pak bowlers were poor as well.

Just be quite and support the team...or is that too much to ask from you?

 

[Mesozoic]

At this rate England will be all out for 240 in 35 overs.

 

[Local.Dada]

Hassan Ali has a chain-locket of himself in his celebration pose ) omg

 

[sindhiboy]

Crawley is inconsistent.
But when in form, he is probably Englands most elegant batsman

Next T20 series will be a huge one for him.

I see an IPL contract coming if he gets a few breezy 40s.

 

[Ahmed216]

U noticed that very late bro. Its been there since champions trophy triumph

 

[Rana]

Easy stuff. Need to try a spinner here

 

[Local.Dada]

U noticed that very late bro. Its been there since champions trophy triumph

Doesn’t matter when he got it, very tacky

 

[Rana]

Change nothing Rauf, keep hitting that fuller length.

 

[Rana]

Crawley is an absolute monster on flat pancakes

 

[Rafa]

No brakes on theflow of runs

 

[Rana]

Free range player if any width is offered

 

[Mesozoic]

Malan could have done a lot of damage on this patta.

Pak got lucky with his dismissal.

 

[Rana]

There is absolutely no need for that width to Crawley, he will murder you all day!

 

[Rana]

Crawley will take over as England's premier batsman after Joe Root.

 

[Greenstorm]

This is what modern day batting is. Learn from England C.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Cant blame the bowling its the batting and the pitch...this score was never enough. Thus the tuk tuk for first 30 overs by us was useless

The bowling isn't great, but was pretty clear that on this pitch you don't waste 20 overs playing yourselves in. Scaredy cat tactics once again backfiring.

 

[Rana]

Need to keep Vince on strike for a bit to stem the flow

 

[Rafa]

How much was need on this pitch ? 350 ?

 

[Rana]

This is what modern day batting is. Learn from England C.

Misbah is taking youtube tutorials from New Zealand A of the 1980s

 

[Rafa]

Pakistan only scored around 100 in the first 25 overs..that was very slow according to modern Odi batting standards.

 

[lahoriyah1234]

England taking advantage of salt and his wounds early on. Thats why u need Sharjeel type of Batsmen on belters like this

 

[Rana]

Pakistan only scored around 100 in the first 25 overs..that was very slow according to modern Odi batting standards.

It was pretty clear that Imam and Babar were playing for themselves and restoring their reputations

Rizwan played according to the track.

No other player wanted to stand and bat, score a 30 ball 50 etc

 

[Rana]

Crawley insulting this trash from Shaheen!

 

[lahoriyah1234]

It could be better if we lose 3-0 that will build a good case against Misbah. But deep down i hope we win

 

[Rana]

They really, really need to keep Crawley off strike. By my calculations hes going at 300 in the last 7-8 balls.

 

[lahoriyah1234]

1 or 2 wickets Pakistan can win.

 

[Rana]

Best bowling so far by Rauf. He has just wavered slightly and been punished rightfully but he is still probably the only guy switched on at the moment!

 

[Ab Fan]

India top order stat booster batsman can learn a thing or two from England batsman.

Indian batsman while chasing 330:-

52/1(10)
101/2(20)
152/3(30)
223/5(40)
301/8(50)

 

[ssuhaide]

Nothing like feasting on a spray gun Pakistani bowling attack to get yourself out of rut. Crawley must be so relieved

 

[Rana]

Come on Babar, dangle the carrot at Zak. Bring on Saud or Shadab.

 

[Sir-fraz]

The bowling isn't great, but was pretty clear that on this pitch you don't waste 20 overs playing yourselves in. Scaredy cat tactics once again backfiring.

Yet ur still trying to hype babars innings.. it was never a 14 dot ball start pitch.. 30 runs short easily

 

[Greenstorm]

Saud should bowl Faheem's 10. Rana will be massacred on this track.

 

[Ab Fan]

Indian top order stats :-

Averages 60 but strike rate 90

England top order stats:-

Averages 50 but strike rate 110

 

[mastimasti]

Poor fielding, poor bowling and poor commentary....what was that Bumble honking like a pig!

 

[Rana]

That last ball by Rauf. Thats his actual lenght. Thats where he needs to be throughout his spell until the death overs where he goes right in for the yorkers.

Not sure why he wants to bowl short all the time!

 

[Rana]

Shaheen here to release the pressure

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Vince is so stylish. Such an underachiever given the ability he possesses.

 

[Snowflake]

Shaheen has been SO poor!

 

[Faizan001]

Wow. Even 400 looks achievable on this pitch with Pakistan bowling

 

[AdamM97]

What is going on with Shaheen today. He's bowling like he did against Afghanistan in the practice match 2 years ago. Wasim needs to have chat with him again.

 

[Snowflake]

Has Imam ever stopped anything with those exaggerated dives?

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

Whitwash coming up

 

[Usman Chadda]

Shaheen is garbage

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan need wickets here

 

[Snowflake]

Malan could have done a lot of damage on this patta.

Pak got lucky with his dismissal.

No luck. He walked off himself.

 

[Rafa]

Has Imam ever stopped anything with those exaggerated dives?

Think he only dives for PR purposes. No output ever. Just diving when the ball has almost past him.

 

[Ab Fan]

If this was our Indian legends, Kohli and Rohit, we would have been 55/2 now. Pakistani fans would have been dancing with Band Baaja Baarat and the deluded Bhaag Viru guy would be blaming Pant and Pandya for the failure.

 

[Saj]

Shaheen a bit better from this end, but still not at his best.

A lot of half trackers and half-volleys.

 

[Justcrazy]

100 up for England here
