What's new

England beat Pakistan by 6 wickets in third ODI, chasing down 359 with ease

This England batting side is just world class... As I keep saying, the best batting unit ever constructed. They will chase this and make it look easy.

Just think, this unit was only developed post 15 WC, compare this to our progression. :maqsood
 
Cant wait for the moment when this team management and captain are shown doors, have seen mediocrity for too long.
 
Hasan hasn’t been the same since Dhawan and Rohit spanked him all over Dubai, after his antics at the border and his statement that he wants to take 10 wickets against India.

His ego got crushed and he has lost all confidence.
 
Could of been a different story if Shaheen didn't drop that catch

Not much would have changed , Poms batting is unstoppable in most games , you really need very good bowlers to stop them. Plunkett batting at number 11 is not a joke.

lol not just yours, even ours. The only good thing we have going for us is Virat at this point. Atleast top 3 were going good for us but both openers are out of form, middle order looks brittle, lower order (beside Pandey) can't hold the bat to save their life.
 
What are Hassan and Bairstow talking about.
Is he accusing him of foul play??

Phadda???
 
If Malik was captaining in this series, Sarfaraz fans would be all over the forum like a rash.

This pathetic player and captain would have made no difference against Australia.
 
Mickey: Its hard to stop butler but we will take his wicket next time..
England: trolled and didnt play butler..

Mickey: hard to bolw to Bairstow but we ll take his wicket although we got jack of a plan...

Mind boggling this einstien our coach we didnt take a proper spinner on this tour instead we got bits and pieces spinner in shape of Imad and Shadab one got sick and other getting smacked... We took Yasir who is barely a test bowler now let alone ODI bowler...

What more did you expect? The usual trio have gone into hiding. Those 3 have the nerve to call Kohli a crap captain and they support this average cricketer.
 
I think England’s lineup is superb and the best in the world but the wickets are making them look like superheroes...

An average batting side made to look superb and a good batting side made to look like legends of the game

England have scored these runs all over the planet and yes, pitches in most places are placid but no other side is matching them on these exact same pitches. Not the much vaunted Indians, not the historically powerful Aussies...no one. If someone made a graph, England's line would be miles above the mean.

I was super curious to see how he performs after some PPers went gaga over his PSL form! He's just another trundler with limited skills the moment he starts playing international cricket! Can you tell me when was the last time this Pak bowling attack ever took all 10 wickets of a top-ranked side?
 
Mickey “we are a proud team and we hate losing” Arthur has completely run out of ideas.

He tried hard, but we are a hopeless bunch. Time for him to try his luck in franchise cricket other than PSL, because I don’t see another international team giving him a chance for a while.

Pakistan have just posted two scores of over 300+ comfortably with a line up of guys who have barely been in the side a year (some less). Progression isn't so bad at all.

England however have made a concerted effort, longer than the last 4 years in fact, it goes all the way back to 2011 and deciding they were going to become world champions at some stage.

When Pak was batting, people were praising Mickey as the best coach. We have had.

A coach can’t do anything if the players are pathetic.
 
Joe Root will be vital for England in situations like this. He is excellent at rotating the strike.
 
This bowling won't work. I know England is brilliant, but the amount of balls that bowlers allowed to get under (wrong length), suggests either Azhar can't convey the massage or bowlers are too dumb to comprehend. Most team's will make a chase of 360 on such conditions, if bowlers keep bowling on this inviting length and PAK's attack doesn't have any spinner!!!!
 
Pakistan does well in tournaments when they are a bowling force. This can be psychologically damaging getting treated like club bowlers

That is true , but the board and whole management was behind this. PCB needs to take such initiative only then something can be done.
 
Phainti off epic proportions.... People blaming the captain as if he should himself take the ball and bowl himself. He has given every bowler even opportunity to do something anything and yet they still get smashed. Worst offenders are PP darlings Shaheen and Hasan.
 
A coach can’t do anything if the players are pathetic.

Coach had three years to built the team, when signed made tall claims hack couldn't produce a proper all rounder instead gave us Faheem lol
 
I guess we should always chase if we win the toss.

Have to say I’ve more faith in batting than bowling this time... :(
 
I don’t want to sound like those jazbati fans but this management needs seeeerious revamping.
 
This has been such a pounding

Bairstow
Row
Root
Morgan
BUTLER

Evn Ali can cut lose

How do you stop them on these tracks
 
Fakhar has been throwing st the stumps all afternoon...
About time he hit it and gave away an overthrow
 
Honestly, scheduling this series right before the World Cup seems to be a big blunder on hindsight. It would be hard for the Pakistani bowlers to be in any frame of mind after this carnage.
 
England should not get overconfident. Apart from Sri Lanka, every other side in the World Cup will have a better bowling attack than this.

Even Afghanistan are ahead of us. Their spinners are miles better than Imad and Show-off.
 
Which senior cricketer said, "Paksitani team roti hui wapas aayegi" Rashid Latif or Shoaib Akhar?
 
Sarfraz needs to get kicked out asap either not brave enough to go against pre determined plans or just stupid. Junaid should have had another go long time ago.
 
The bitter truth is Pakistan will be out in the group stages.

We seriously need to get our act right.
 
Not to mention how Sarfraz screams at the players everytime despite the fact that he contributes 0 to the team.
 
Looks like meeting Imran Khan and listening to his cornered tigers speech in white shalwar kameez had no impact on the team.

We are one “miskeen” nation. The hero worshipping is so strong. I don’t see the Australian players meeting Steve Waugh or Ponting for a pep talk, or West Indies and India going to Clive Lloyd or Kapil.

Heck, India have a World Cup winning captain in the squad and I doubt if he would be giving a speech on how they won the 2011 World Cup.

I wonder when will we get over this sorry mentality.
 
This is a mauling. I'm not sure how a cricket team comes back after such a demoralizing defeat. England has crushed us into the ground :))

Man just zip it for a momemt, will you?

England, Australia or West Indies aren’t cricket mad countries like pakistan, hence their players aren’t that famous in their countries.
 
Junaid may not be of the quality required, but he always puts the effort in and shows intensity. Hasan Ali seems to lack intensity right now.
 
This is where good captains come into their own. Put in some close in fielders, try and make something happen, maybe get a slip? Maybe come closer as keeper? Choke the team and stop them from rotating strikes....just do something other than a standard off-leg field.

Also, the selectors need to get a spinner in this squad asap.

India are probably even more cricket mad, but you don’t see this attitude in them.
