What's new

England defeat Pakistan by 3 wickets in tense finish to the 4th ODI

Now people will say lucky wicket and captain got nothing to do with it smh errer

1 good decision doesn't make up for months of rubbish captaincy. You ****** do banghra over anything your hero does.
 
England is imploding like a deck of cards. lol STacking up your side with batting and backing them to chase them 350 every single time is way too risky. Bowling wins you tournaments.

I am waiting for them to implode under pressure in a big WC match
 
They still have Denly and Archer.... does their batting never end? This is not fair :danish
 
Now talk about captaincy.. anyone??? I know noone will

We have lost so much in the last couple of years, blaming anyone from the Pak team is understandable. Fans just want to see results
 
Why has Malik become a part timer? He is a lovely flighter of the ball
 
Damn I wasn't even watching the chase, was watching Ban vs WI instead but just at that game became one sided this one got close. Come on PAKISTAN! Watching this game now :)
 
Pressure will be like 10 times more in the world cup. Bairstow/Morgan two of the key wickets you need. That's it rest will fold including Butler.

True, we all saw them collapse under pressure even in CT17 semi
 
PAK has made the game quite interesting. Another spinner and the game would have been in bag by now. There are few loose overs left, but Poms will need to bat out of their skin to win it here.
 
It took Pakistan around 3 games to understand Eng can be pressurized with decent spin. Though Hasnaian open the window

This isn't even decent spin tbh but yes a proper spinners would have been ideal.

Gohar, Umer Khan etc.
 
Guys on topic please.

Plenty of other threads to discuss Bangladesh, India, India vs Pakistan, who will win the World Cup, etc.

Props to the youngster Hasnain he’s been great. However, the spinners just show what picking proper spinners like Umer Khan or Zafar Gonar coulda done
 
Seriously??? U worried about Archer batting SMH ... don’t blame u we also can choke

England's run rate will help their lower order, they haven't allowed the rate to climb too high, they just need to bat sensibly.

Malik and Hafeez can definitely be rated decent when other spinners are Yasir and Imad averaging clos to 50. Even Aus series would have been much more exciting if he had a good spinner

Inzi and Mickey still wont learn, cant wait for them to be replaced.

Still there is time............ till 25th May.

Our team management don't know proper spinners exist tbh so what can we do.
 
I get Imad got 2 wickets today and theres alot of support for him here, hes got to go and Shadabs got to come in for him.

Malik, Hafeez, Shadab as spinners

Amir, Wahab and Hassan as pacers will work well

Shinwari, Shaheen/Hasnain as backups

Haris Sohail, Imad backup on bench


Imam
Fakhar
Babar
Hafeez
Malik
Asif Ali
Sarfraz WK
Shadab
Hassan
Wahab
Amir
 
England need 120 in 18 overs with 5 wickets in hand. Testing time
 
Spinners applying the choke here. Need another wicket asap
 
exactly .... Spin used to be our strength and now we just finds bit and pieces cricketers and call them spinners

Especially against teams like Eng, Aus, NZ, SA and even WI. Unless you have pacers like Wasim, Waqar or Shoaib spin is gonna help you win matches.
 
Need to go witha 4 over burst and let Hassan and Junaid bowl 2 overs each to scrap another wicket or 2
 
Umer khan should have been in UAE and in Eng instead of yasir but oh well. Jonsay chachu has some other plans.
 
Thanks, it had to happen one day. And they chased 211 in 22 overs on a wet out field, so went basaltic and hit 11 SIX in 134 balls!!!

Excellent effort. Pace attack also looking decent for the WC.
 
Epecting England to chase down this target. Their batting lineup is quite deep.
 
Need a wicket asap but this is good pressure being built
 
Some crazy hitting by Mossadek

I told you - batting will not be a problem, there are couple of U19 boys potentially better than Tamim, neither spinners will be a problem. Now desperately need skillful pacers, who can operate at 130s, but their lack of pace can be compensated by skills.
 
Hasan needs to show here why he is regarded as the best pacer in Pakistani lineup, need couple of wickets from him
