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

[Afhan Ali]

Hasan is not getting wickets in middle overs

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Hasan Ali has been unlucky so far in this series. He's been the only pace bowler who has shown some bite before Hasnain's spell today.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Epecting England to chase down this target. Their batting lineup is quite deep.

Not everybody is in same form. Bairstow, Butler, Morgan in top form.

 

[Plumb]

Hasan need to share the new ball.. HE bowled good today, even though no wickets but bowled with heart today

 

[Titan24]

Epecting England to chase down this target. Their batting lineup is quite deep.

In today's match only Archer or to some extent Rashid is decent but one more wicket would help Pak a lot.

 

[babajee]

RRR slowly rising.

 

[Ronaldo7]

Oh no.

 

[Plumb]

Junaid is back ...oo boy!!!!!!!!!1

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Junaid back on. Could be the game here.

 

[Hasan123]

Would have liked to see a spinner kept on.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Game changer is on

 

[CricVet]

Junaid bowling...duhhhh

 

[KingKhanWC]

Hasan Ali has been unlucky so far in this series. He's been the only pace bowler who has shown some bite before Hasnain's spell today.

Hasan will end up leading wicket taker for Pakistan in the WC, not sure why people keeping worrying about him(not you).

 

[HitWicket]

In today's match only Archer or to some extent Rashid is decent but one more wicket would help Pak a lot.

Currans a better batsman than Archer. Wood's also not a complete mug.

 

[Green Patriot]

A couple of boundaries and pressure will be released.
Need to choke them.

 

[Hasan123]

Stokes doesn't seem in great form .

 

[Ahmed216]

We need another wicket guys...cmon juni time for redemption

 

[Chokli]

Junaid Khan to Stokes, no run, trundles in and hits a length, 82mph around fourth stump and pushed square coming across

 

[MMHS]

Pom's tail would chase this if they can bat 50 overs - where is the catcher!!!! Obviously Sarfraz has brought Hasan for reverse swing, but must back him with a slip (against lefti) and a short mid-wicket against Denly.

Is this a good idea to bring JK now? Malik was making batsmen a bit nervous and Stokes the main batsman is lefti .... hope JK works now, otherwise ENG will make some space with loose boundaries.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Had there been Shadab today. It wouldn't be that easy for England

 

[Plumb]

Stokes doesn't seem in great form .

lol He is middling the ball like anything

 

[Plumb]

Had there been Shadab today. It wouldn't be that easy for England

Or a proper Spinner..

 

[Hasan123]

lol He is middling the ball like anything

Usually they go into gaps.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Today's Stokes innings is reminding of his this innings. lol

[MMHS]

I didn't watch most part of today's game - can anyone explain why PCT should pick JK over Amir in WC Squad?

 

[Titan24]

Currans a better batsman than Archer. Wood's also not a complete mug.

Yes but they would not only need to survive but to score some runs as well as RR is above 7, that is if wicket falls soon

 

[CricVet]

Stokes timing is off

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Hasan will end up leading wicket taker for Pakistan in the WC, not sure why people keeping worrying about him(not you).

I saw Mamoon's comment about how Indian batsmen had knocked all the arrogance out of him, but he's no snowflake. Would back him to KO India in the WC group match given any sort of sporting wicket.

 

[Plumb]

Disappointing Junaid

 

[Mp812]

Can Denly bat ? Is he good batter?
Denly has chance to win this match as well as World Cup team slot if he does?

 

[KingKhanWC]

Every team should sledge Stokes, he has a short fuse but we are relaxed out there.

 

[ARK Rafay]

I don't understand what is so special about Denly? And why he bats at no 7?

His List A SR is 76.60 and ODIs SR is 64.78
Moreover he is not that good of a bowler

 

[HitWicket]

Can Denly bat ? Is he good batter?
Denly has chance to win this match as well as World Cup team slot if he does?

One of the leading run scorers in the one day tournament last year and possibly England's number 2/3 for the Ashes.

 

[jnaveen1980]

FIeld set is so generic.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Can Denly bat ? Is he good batter?
Denly has chance to win this match as well as World Cup team slot if he does?

Denly was finished 2/3 years ago, not sure what England are thinking.

However its such a good batting deck he can hang in there and get a few away.

 

[CricVet]

Some movement for Hassan

 

[Hasan123]

Need to go for wickets. England know boundary balls will come.

 

[Ahmed216]

3 years in internationals and hasan still cant construct an over

 

[Plumb]

wow... that's what stokes can do.. need to get his wicket

 

[Green Patriot]

Malik and Hafeez were bowling well.
Why not bring them so RRR can be out of reach.

 

[CricVet]

Over wasted

 

[IMMY69]

Should just bowl out the spinners...
At least two or three more overs of spin

 

[Syed1]

Pace hai nahi leken short zaroor marni hai.... Hasan Ali turning into Anwar Ali type bowler.

 

[Plumb]

Should just bowl out the spinners...
At least two or three more overs of spin

I agree..

 

[Plumb]

Pace hai nahi leken short zaroor marni hai.... Hasan Ali turning into Anwar Ali type bowler.

you have just thrown Hasan Ali from the 200th floor

 

[HitWicket]

I don't understand what is so special about Denly? And why he bats at no 7?

His List A SR is 76.60 and ODIs SR is 64.78
Moreover he is not that good of a bowler

Take a look at his stats across formats last year, he's usually a top order batsman.

 

[ARK Rafay]

ESPN has listed Junaid as Fast bowler and Hasan as Medium Fast

 

[Mehndi155]

Shoaib malik will play whole worldcup based on once in a blue moon performance

 

[IMMY69]

I agree..

Junaid shouldn’t be bowling...
I don’t know why he’s being persisted with.

Malik and Hafeez were doing such a great job

 

[KingKhanWC]

I saw Mamoon's comment about how Indian batsmen had knocked all the arrogance out of him, but he's no snowflake. Would back him to KO India in the WC group match given any sort of sporting wicket.

He might have the Bollywood sound effects linked to each India shot, might explain it.

 

[Rana]

Not sure why the 80mph bowlers are releasing pressure with these pathetic bouncers

 

[Usman Chadda]

I'm not sure what's with this stupid fascination with the short ball. When you don't have that extreme pace, why would you be so predictable

 

[jnaveen1980]

If they win they will definitely gloat 'We won without Morgan and Bairstow". It is imperative Pakistan continues attacking. Nothing to lose here

 

[Dark_Horse]

ESPN has listed Junaid as Fast bowler and Hasan as Medium Fast

Usually Amir is also listed as fast

 

[KingKhanWC]

Junaid shouldn’t be bowling...
I don’t know why he’s being persisted with.

Malik and Hafeez were doing such a great job

Agree, they were keeping it tight, Denly would be in two minds to hit or block.

 

[Asif321]

Need to get quick wicket

 

[Hasan123]

Junaid has gotten away with 2 poor balls.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Junaid what a friendly bowler

 

[CricVet]

This is giving confidence back to eng

 

[Taaya]

Shoaib malik should be kept on for a few more overs.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Keep Denly on strike

 

[Markhor]

Game changer is on

Can't help but think of Afridi's book.

 

[CricVet]

Why would someone give Junaid to bowl when Malik was bowling well? It is very bad strategy, or lack off.

 

[Hasan123]

Keep the field when bowling to Stokes against spin. He could make a mistake.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Hafeez to the lefty Stokes is also a good option.

 

[Chokli]

Why would someone give Junaid to bowl when Malik was bowling well? It is very bad strategy, or lack off.

Specialist Kaptaan

 

[CricVet]

He is a good captain, but everyone thinks differently.

 

[zn426]

The soonest PAK can get the run rate to cross 9 is the 43rd over if current trends hold.

 

[IMMY69]

No more Imad please...

For gods sakes bring Hafeez or Malik on..

 

[IMMY69]

Omg Junaid again

 

[CricVet]

What was that throw?

 

[Hasan123]

Certain posters who were doing banghra over the captaincy have gone very silent .

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Junaid will lose us this game.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Bowl Hafeez or Malik too

 

[Syed1]

Worrying sign that new Pak youngsters are crap fielders.... goes straight to Hasnain they still pick up two.

 

[jnaveen1980]

I would take Sam curran in a heart beat over this guy lol He is a great player against spin.

 

[Chokli]

England just need one big over.

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

Easy for England from here

 

[Plumb]

there was a glimpse of hope when Butler got out now its gone

 

[Markhor]

I recall much crying when Junaid was excluded from the SA tour.

He looks finished.
