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

[jnaveen1980]

Now 89.2 mph. So this kid got some wheels. 142 kph.

 

[Ahmed216]

Kaptaan mediocre will be out of the side after WC horror show

 

[KingKhanWC]

Butler is a serial offender in this regard. He always finds himself outside right before the ball is released. Warning is also the discretion of bowler. No need of warning if you ask me. Batsmen already have so much in their favor. Two new balls, power play, flat decks, ability to play reverse.

I agree Butler does take the Michael but I was responding to your quote. Imagine if every bowler regularly stopped their runs up in case a run out chance is on offer. It would become a farce. The MCC need to look at the rules, perhaps a dead ball if the batsmen walks far out of his crease and a run(s) is scored.

 

[Titan24]

89.2 from Hasnian, atleast he is putting in some effort

 

[Hasan123]

Roy deserves a chance in test cricket.

 

[Chokli]

Sarfraz Ahmed the specialist captain do your damn job, I blame him for this heartless effort, plays for himself with the bat then on auto pilot on the field besides the usual screaming and shouting when he is getting owned, what a disgraceful cricketer, he has doomed Pakistan cricket they will be destroyed in the World Cup so sad to watch this

He played a match winning 21 off 14 balls today.

 

[Ronaldo7]

Roy deserves a chance in test cricket.

Don't think hacks work in test cricket.

 

[KingKhanWC]

In Hasnain we trust

The kid needs a michelle for us to this game, the others look dorment.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Chase down this in 40 overs plz

 

[Mamoon]

People can say what they want about England and how they might struggle on bowling pitches, but they are by far the most entertaining ODI side at the moment. The confidence and the flamboyance of their batsmen is amazing. It will be very surprising if they don't break the 500 barrier in the near future.

Apart from Root who is a 100 SR player himself, literally every batsman in the lineup - Roy, Bairstow, Morgan, Buttler, Stokes and Moeen - is capable of smashing a 50 ball hundred on their day.

 

[jnaveen1980]

89.2 is 143.3 kph. 140k is bare minimum these days. Unless you have some height like Behrendoff you can't get away with slower pace.

 

[Plumb]

Told ya they ll chase in 40overs... Roy 100 Vs Bobby 100 smh

Bairstow and Buttler are great to watch. But this jason Roy dude. Even if he scores 200 he still looks ugly to watch. Certified hacker.

 

[castortroy]

To be fair these pitches have absolutely nothing for bowlers.

Dream to bat on. These English tracks are the best to bat on in world cricket

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

BAN vs WI final getting interseting

 

[Ramsay]

Dropped??!!

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Hahahahahahahahhaahahhhh another drop. We are truly a joke

 

[IMMY69]

another drop

 

[Syed1]

We should just recall team before WC.... thori izzat reh jayegi

 

[Titan24]

Imad bowling avg is soon gonna cross 50 the way its going

 

[Usman Chadda]

Faheem Ashraf might saved by this performance from Junaid Khan

 

[Green Patriot]

Did he just drop this???

 

[babajee]

Junaid.....

 

[Ahmed216]

This is not good practice for english batsmen before the WC.
Theyve hardly been challenged. Should have arranged for Afgh series

 

[Asif321]

What garbage is this Junaid
Even our school kids take such catch

 

[Pete Rose]

Not sure if Imad should be a lock for the world cup

 

[Rifaqat]

WTH lol

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

This team deserves humiliation. Please England chase it down within 33 overs.

 

[hadi123]

Why are people watching this when the tri-series final is going down to the wire?

 

[Green Patriot]

This is it.
I want to beat the **** out of these psuedo cricketers.

 

[babajee]

Faheem Ashraf might saved by this performance from Junaid Khan

He's probably better.

 

[Hasan123]

Don't think hacks work in test cricket.

Ahahahahahaha you don't understand batting if you think Roy is a hack.

Being able to play 360 degrees vs pace and spin, being able to play back foot drives other extra cover for 6 is not a hack. Pakistan fans have no clue on batsmenship.

 

[Asif321]

Our fielding has lost us 2 gamss

 

[KingKhanWC]

Lazy dive and missed the apple

 

[last_knight]

Batting unit needed one momentum match (2nd ODI) to get going.
Bowling unit also is just one momentum match away. It's just a matter of one complete performance from bowling unit to get rid of mental block and all pieces will start fitting in.

Shaping up nicely.

For starting XI, Haris and Shadab should replace Imad and Asif. Shaheen replaces Junaid.

Abid Ali should be retained in squad. Asif will have to miss out. Because bigger concern is if we are penalised twice for slow over rate, we won't have a backup keeper if Abid Ali is to be sent back.

Abid
Imam
Fakhar
Babar
Haris
Hafeez

Imad

Kuch zyada hi hogaya.

 

[IMMY69]

England pulled off some brilliant catches and we’ve dropped some sitters...

We won’t win any games if we continue to spill easy chances.

 

[Hasan123]

More pathetic fielding.

 

[Pete Rose]

Re: Junaid, he has always been a liability in the field and these are the reasons he is always left out when ppl were complaining injustice was done to him

 

[jnaveen1980]

Pakistan dropping catches is not a coincidence. They are trying to grab the ball instead of waiting for it to come to them. It is a technical issue.

 

[mak36]

How is Junaid still in the squad

 

[Cricket World]

Junaid worst tailender worst fielder and worst bowler on show

 

[Usman Chadda]

Who dropped the first catch? Wasn't watching.

 

[Hawkeye]

Should chase in 38 overs.

I would like to see these batsman performances away from home.

 

[Plumb]

Good lord... pathetic.... yes “WE R READY for WC”

I admire your optimism

 

[troodon]

Junaid having a nightmare game.

 

[Kroll]

Seems like we can't win a game anymore against a half decent opposition. We truly are minnows.

 

[Ronaldo7]

Do you even know what hack means? Lol.

 

[Cricket World]

There are many onthis forum alone wanted Junaid the side

 

[Iffitheking]

Dropped OMG hahahah this is a nightmare

 

[Plumb]

They get injured on regultion catches... enough said

 

[Mamoon]

I would like to see these batsman performances away from home.

They demolished Australia in Australia and scored almost as many runs in India as the Indian batsmen. They are clearly no HTBs.

 

[Cricket World]

Can we replace full bowling lineup barring one or two

 

[Chokli]

I would like to see these batsman performances away from home.

Did you miss the West Indies series

 

[KingKhanWC]

Pacey and perfect line & length.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Imad OUT.
JUNAID OUT

 

[Titan24]

This is the worst bowling and fielding display in the last 3 months and also if we include Asia Cup that I have soon from Pak maybe since almost forever

 

[castortroy]

Seriously how many English wickets have dropped in the 3 games?

 

[troodon]

Who dropped the first catch? Wasn't watching.

Zaman. It was a bit more difficult, but should be taken at this level.

 

[Badsha]

Whats the point of bowling on these pitches. Just have a batsman dart deliveries. It's no fun.

 

[Mp812]

Why are people watching this when the tri-series final is going down to the wire?

WI 152/1 (24.0)
BAN 152/5 (17.0) CRR: 8.94 REQ: 8.29
Bangladesh need 58 runs in 42 balls (Match reduced to 24 overs due to rain, Target 210)

 

[Kroll]

Babar doing sajda...for himself, would be better if his centuries actually helped the team.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Going over, but a great delivery yet again. He is having no luck,

 

[Syed1]

Guys what happened to the "championship mindset" wrist bands that Mickey distributed amongst the players




"we are a proud team that hates losing"

 

[babajee]

Seems like we can't win a game anymore against a half decent opposition. We truly are minnows.

It is the number 1 team in the world in their den after all.

 

[Junaid_ahmed]

This is why Sarfraz use to yell on these nalaiks. They need a stick after every ball.

 

[Hasan123]

Do you even know what hack means? Lol.

Yes . You don't know what a hack is. I'll take this hack Roy over any of our batters .

 

[Asif321]

Hasnain gets another
Shame on Junaid

 

[Syed1]

Shukar Alhumdulilah

 

[IMMY69]

If it’s Between Junaid and Hasnain for the squad, I would pick Hasnain every single time.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Seems reasonable that Pakistan team is getting a phanta at all departments, and just when no body rates them. They out perform.

 

[Mamoon]

What a gift. Should have put that away.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Finally i see pakistani bowler bowling pakistani bowler of the past. Raw pace. They have to get rid of these 135k trundlers. They can contain. But if the batsman decides to target it is easy to target them.

 

[Green Patriot]

Shaba hasnain.
Game out of reach though.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Roy gone. Inopportune moment.

 

[shah_1]

Pace is pace yaar

Inzi screw you for ignoring Wahab and Shinwari and selecting trundlers.

 

[Ronaldo7]

Yes . You don't know what a hack is. I'll take this hack Roy over any of our batters .

Did i say hacks are bad???
There are some useful hacks as well such as Roy, bairstow etc.

 

[KingKhanWC]

The irony the bad ball gets him.

Well deserved young lad.
