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

[barah_admi]

WEll played Johnny but can Pakistan dig in now?

Sarfraz needs to be more attacking with his fields.

 

[Plumb]

Bowled him!!!

Junaid strikes!!!

Now the People who wants pak lose will say lucky wicket..

 

[Usman Chadda]

Well atleast our boys will not be over-awed by lesser teams like India anymore

 

[IAJ]

shukr hai jaan chutti is sey.

Junaid have bowled well under the circumstances

 

[Green Patriot]

The temper

 

[Cric1234]

Imam Ul Haq the highest scorer in this match, you hate to see it!

That's why the team lost!

 

[jnaveen1980]

Ami Should consider himself
Lucky lol He has better chance of coming back than if he had played.

 

[Chokli]

That's why the team lost!

Good, don't let Imam ruin your life.

He will be captain soon.

This guy is something else.

Bringing specialist bowlers on is excellent captaincy. He is doing banghra right now.

 

[AdamM97]

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

True but Imran Khan has that charisma that Kapil just doesn’t have. Imran is also popular because of his philantrophy and politics.

 

[mesmerizer85]

I blame Sarfraz for trying Junaid Khan so late.. Could have got a wicket earlier on with his experience.. All youngsters going for runs...

 

[Ronaldo7]

Comeback??

 

[szundercover]

This match has reached the stage where watching this match during ramzan is a gunnah.

 

[Syed1]

shukr hai jaan chutti is sey.

Junaid have bowled well under the circumstances

Head and shoulders above every other bowler who has bowled for Pak today

 

[Chokli]

I blame Sarfraz for trying Junaid Khan so late.. Could have got a wicket earlier on with his experience.. All youngsters going for runs...

Specialist Kaptaan is awful

 

[Mueez]

I wonder why Junaid gets so much flak.

He has always performed whenever the team has needed wickets.

 

[hadi123]

Thank God I'm not watching anymore.

 

[AdamM97]

Shaba Juny.... excellent captaincy to bring back strike bowler.

You love Sarfraz wayyyyyy too much.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Here's Stephen with some textbook In My Day: "Call me old fashioned but this is a joke for me. The 99 World Cup was one of the best if not the best. Great contest between bat and ball. If these games are a preview of the world cup I am not a fan. Bowlers should go on strike or be replaced by bowling machines."

 

[mesmerizer85]

I blame Sarfraz for bringing Junaid khan so late.. All youngsters were going for runs.. He could have got a wicket earlier due to his experience

 

[Plumb]

Specialist Kaptaan is awful

Yes Bring back Umer Akmal make him opener and captain

 

[Hasan123]

Poms trying to get Stokes into form.

 

[Snowflake]

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.

Not everyone is obsessed with India like you.

They have thicker skin than that. For them, there's more to life than India.

 

[Mamoon]

True but Imran Khan has that charisma that Kapil just doesn’t have. Imran is also popular because of his philantrophy and politics.

The bigger issue is our lack of success, which is why we milk our glory too much. India have already moved on from 2011, but we are still trying to replicate the magic of 92.

Yes! It’s so frustrating so see the balance between bat-ball these days. It going to discourage people from wanting to become bowlers.

 

[Chokli]

Yes Bring back Umer Akmal make him opener and captain

Who said that? Everyone knows Sarfraz isn't even half the batsman Umar Akmal is.

Why would Umar Akmal be made captain?

Stop posting nonsensical stuff.

 

[Hasan123]

Keep the pressure on Stokes.

Bless him, he'll find joy with this England win because he'll use "Imam's innings was put into perspective by England's openers"

 

[Syed1]

Shaheen needs to redeem himself.. Last two ODIs have been pathetic for him

 

[Hasan123]

Best captain since IK. Ladies and gentlemen.

 

[Snowflake]

Specialist Kaptaan is awful

Nothing wrong in his captaincy today. Just criticizing for the heck of it is abhorrent.

 

[IAJ]

New batsman, no slips, shabash

 

[Duckworth Lewis]

Potato head kaapthan

 

[Hasan123]

Pathetic bowling. A slip is in and Shaeen bowls on the legs.

 

[ritzy_123]

Pathetic captaincy to be honest at least get a slip for a new batsman who is really short of confidence

 

[Syed1]

Pathetic from Shaheen... needs to be dropped

 

[barah_admi]

SLIP....SLIP!!!

I said it as soon as the wicket fell. Sarfraz, shouts, rants, does everything but captain.

 

[topspin]

Sarfraz looks more like 41 rather than 31

 

[HGhazanfar]

Nothing wrong in his captaincy today. Just criticizing for the heck of it is abhorrent.

clearly u beat the edge and no slip,l need wickets and oh what do u know edge next ball and no slip

 

[Hasan123]

Junaid Khan should have a slip in.

 

[Syed1]

7 overs for 63 for Shaheen with 2 dropped catches in the field... mashallah this is our future

 

[AdamM97]

Nothing wrong in his captaincy today. Just criticizing for the heck of it is abhorrent.

A good kaptaan needs to lead the team. The rest of the players have already left Sarfraz behind. All current batsmen outperforming him. Imran Khan used to lead by example. He scored runs and got wickets.

 

[Green Patriot]

We missed a wicket last match too because of no slip.

Brainless captaincy seriously.

 

[Snowflake]

Nothing wrong in his captaincy today. Just criticizing for the heck of it is abhorrent.

I take that back. No slip for a new batsman?

 

[Chokli]

What pathetic captaincy.

New batsman and no slip

 

[Syed1]

Junaid is our only hope... Shaheen and Hasan more interested in their style and haircuts.

 

[Green Patriot]

Watch us bring Stokes back to form like a beast.

 

[SensiblePakFan]

JUNAID deserves a wc spot.

 

[Syed1]

JUNAID deserves a wc spot.

He is in the squad... Fahim needs to be dropped for Amir. Shaheen needs to be benched.

 

[Hasan123]

Ahahahahaha Imad has taken over from specialist captain)

 

[AdamM97]

Although i do blame Sarfraz for a lot of our faults, it’s worth knowing that we have not taken lots of wickets this year. Just see our ODI record since 2019(against SA, AUS and ENG).

 

[Syed1]

What's with the one or two balls an over on the pads... wonderful plans by Azhar Mahmood

 

[MMHS]

JUNAID deserves a wc spot.

That probably summarizes PAK's bowling & WC preparation indeed.

 

[Titan24]

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.

In my opinion captain is not there just to provide opportunities to the bowlers to ball rather have a plan against each batsman and set the fields and rotate the bowlers accordingly.

 

[Hasan123]

The gap between the 2 teams is scary.

 

[topspin]

Might be time to bring Haris Rauf into the squad to take wickets out of the equation.

I know he's raw and has only played 4 x List A games but if these are the pitches served up, this bowling attack is in trouble!

 

[fnabi81]

Shaheen is seriously overhyped

 

[Titan24]

Simply pathetic stuff, new batsman comes in when they just need around 6 rpo and you dont have a slip in place

 

[Syed1]

Need atleast two more wickets otherwise no hope

 

[HGhazanfar]

Sarfraz is clueless doesnt even know where his fielders are this is a joke. I beg someone to intervene send home Faheem, Imad, Sarfraz,

Bring Wahab, Kamran/Rizwan, Umer Khan/Zafar Gohar

Captain should be Hafeez, no one else is good enough simple

 

[MMHS]

Might be time to bring Haris Rauf into the squad to take wickets out of the equation.

I know he's raw and has only played 4 x List A games but if these are the pitches served up, this bowling attack is in trouble!

Left arm bowlers are there for a surprise element - 1, max two in playing XI is enough. That 2 also, if you have a SLAO spinner - PAK has 4 today, could be 5 if Amir or Shinwari replaces the fast bowling all-rounder - what do you expect?

 

[Mueez]

This is actually the drubbing which Pakistan ideally needs.

The effin reality check before the WC.

They need to know what they want to do, do they want to get the trophy home or go back to Pakistan empty handed.

 

[shariqnoor]

Sarfraz "India is scared to play us" Ahmed getting thumped. Played a horrible innings today and has no clue on the field. His fans keep enjoying his captaincy against Zimbabwe, Sri Lanka, West Indies while he gets shown his true worth against the big boys.

[Hasan123]

Much better from Shaheen. I would be reluctant to drop him yet.

 

[HGhazanfar]

Wahab and Haris Rauf were the best fast bwolers in that one day cup when all other bwolers were getting smashed at 8rpo, they were arnd 5 and taking wickets.

 

[Mueez]

Much better from Shaheen. I would be reluctant to drop him yet.

He’s a too good bowler to get dropped.

Just needs to analyze where it has gone wrong.

 

[AdamM97]

Good over by Shaheen.

 

[Snowflake]

)

Her knowledge about the game is so limited. She can only talk about the stuff that she knows a little about (old epic matches, IPL) which means that most of what she'll say would be quite irrelevant to the current game )

 

[Mamoon]

This is shaping up to be the second most comfortable 350+ chase in history.

 

[Syed1]

Pathetic from Imad

 

[HGhazanfar]

Funny how Imad is trying to force his way in as captain when he too doesnt deserve to be in the team, nothing bowler and definitely a complete hack of a batsmen.

 

[Hasan123]

Root is 2 levels above Babar.

 

[Plumb]

Fiftyyy for Imad

 

[Ronaldo7]

This is just disappointing.

 

[adzzy786]

Defo need Hafeez and Mo Amir back in the team

 

[topspin]

Left arm bowlers are there for a surprise element - 1, max two in playing XI is enough. That 2 also, if you have a SLAO spinner - PAK has 4 today, could be 5 if Amir or Shinwari replaces the fast bowling all-rounder - what do you expect?

Agreed and Haris Rauf would provide more variety in this left arm dominated bowling attack.

Amir, Hasnain and Rauf is a bowling combination that the management needs to consider.

Amir is economical, Hasnain and Rauf are hostile but different - former's natural length is shorter whereas the latter is a specialist in yorkers.

 

[Iffitheking]

That's pretty toothless from Pak bowlers. May be they are not giving 100 percent because of injury etc.

 

[Josh]

Darter getting good treatment. Specialist spinners are must for such pitches.

 

[Syed1]

The legend klusener here
