What's new

England defeat Pakistan by 54 runs in final ODI, win series 4-0

Even after a couple of overs, we're already under pressure. :facepalm:
 
Willey needs to take 3 wickets and make an impact today or I fear he will be left out and Plunkett selected.
 
30 runs too many.

Hoping we can get to 320ish and lose by a respectable margin.

No Imam today so we might have a collapse early on. If there is a collapse we'll be 220ish all out.

Called it
 
NO bat. Abid Ali reminds me of some of the typical Pakistan batsman i have seen over the years. Playing right across the line. A very low percentage shot.
 
What umpire on earth would give that out that hawk eye is so wrong there it was easily missing by a stump
 
just came back from prayer and already 2 down, and here I was thinking we gonna sleep walk it.
 
Abid is given out for his follow through - hardly one should see opener shuffling across so much and miss ball in front of 3 sticks. Cricket is a side of game - that ball should have been flicked through leg side standing tall on leg line.
 
There is something in the pitch. Not a total belter.or England is just keepign a good channel?

It's not a 400+ belter I suppose. England's 351 is the highest score ever on this pitch. Previous highest was 339 against Saffers in 2017 and Saffers could only manage 267 in reply.
 
Hafeez will be vulnerable in the first 10 overs. He's better suited after 20 overs.
 
Why? He made the correct decision, extremely good umpiring given how tight it was.

They have some unwritten rules. One is when they don't see any stump when the ball hits the pad they are more inclined to give that out. He went right across.
 
Rooh afza is a fruity drink? I thought it was rose flavoured. Very popular in India too
 
1 percent of the ball was hitting. I mean there it was so tight there is chance the bail might not have even fallen off. Literally kissing the stump. Super unlucky
 
biased decision, next time we play Eng and bowl, we should appeal everything. Crappy umpire.
 
Why to throw hafeez against new ball, he always struggles
 
I know a lot of posters were very upset at Abid not getting a game . . but he was always going home and now its pretty much game set and match for him . .

It's unfair for him to play under such immense pressure . .

If Asif Ali was coming in, in place of Abid Ali . . dont make populous decisions . . throw Babar in to open and play Haris Sohail . . those are the people that will play . .

Also . . this is where I want Haris to come in bat . . not freaking Hafeez!! I wonder what they discuss in team meetings? What kinda strategy they work on? How do they determine which player is best at what position?

And there you go . . Hafeez gone as well . . which is good . . cuz I want Haris to bat at 4!! Hafeez should never be close to batting in the first 25 overs . .

Is the management going to realize it? I don't think so!! Daft!
 
We were told this series would be great for WC preparation.Why we agreed.Honestly this series destroyed our morale
 
U see thats why haris is good 2 quick wickets and with mohd hafeez coming at 4 third wicket will also fall
 
Why to throw hafeez against new ball, he always struggles

But I am an opener and always played as an opener... pathetic hafeez admit it u r a #6 come at that number and give quick 30-40 that ll help pakistan more
