England defeat Pakistan by 7 wickets in the one-off T20I

[Syed1]

Contrast this with how nephew was batting in the powerplays.... what a pathetic player.

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Vince is a stylish batsman. Classy!

 

[Mamoon]

Nasser Hussain is a brilliant commentator but he tries too hard to come across as a well-wisher of Pakistan cricket.

He goes over the top with his praise and can get cringey at times. Needs to tone it down.

 

[NauV]

2 things Pak are planning on doing that are freaking me out:

1. Not playing Haris at 4 (suicidal)
2. Opening with Faheem (suicidal)

Faheem can not play as the 3rd pacer! And I believe they're thinking along those lines . . like I said . . Suicidal! (it is only to deepen their batting line up . . but at the expense of seriously weakening the bowling line up . . never works out well for Pak)

 

[xricket]

Poor captaincy from sarfraz. Starting off from imad & faheem. Should have started with shaheen & hasnain. Thic in the head

 

[CricVet]

There are atleast 20-25% self-haters.

I really dont understand the point of watching then. If you hate this team, wish us to lose, have nothing to contribute apart from bashing players then whats the point of following. Maybe do something which you like?

Only reason i can think of is point scoring which makes them keep coming.

I usually stop reading those posters or threads once they start repeat/troll same thing over nd over without substance. Anyhow...I wish Pak best of luck whoever leads.

 

[Gullycricket]

Please tell me why is Faheem playing instead of Amir

You sound hurt because he praises Pakistan.

 

[Justcrazy]

17 in 2 overs , good start by Poms

 

[Dr_Bassim]

This shouting from Sarfraz is just painful to see.

 

[Chokli]

Please tell me why is Faheem playing instead of Amir

all rounder

 

[Chokli]

shaheen now is what amir was for us back in 2009 and 2010

 

[QalandarFan]

Time to see some swing!

 

[Gullycricket]

Omg if we lose this to England C.But what talent Eng have coming

 

[imshally81]

 

[xricket]

fatty imam found fitness wanting again. Poor fielding

 

[Syed1]

Every ball further shows how garbage Imam ul nephew is

 

[Titan24]

Nice Shaheen

 

[Gullycricket]

Shaheen Missile

 

[QalandarFan]

Let’s go Shaheen Shah Afridi!!

 

[Dr_Bassim]

9 to go for Sarfraz.

 

[Nasty Naz]

Afridi with the breakthrough!

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Special Shaheen gets a wicket.

 

[Mamoon]

You sound hurt because he praises Pakistan.

His over the top praise won’t make this mediocre team any better.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Shaheen!!!

 

[Justcrazy]

Duckett gone

 

[Syed1]

His over the top praise won’t make this mediocre team any better.

Mediocre team is number 1 ranked in this format... take your crying and wrist slitting somewhere else phopoo

 

[Afhan Ali]

Hope Faheem score his fifty today with bowling

 

[Dr_Bassim]

To those keep repeating Imam's awfulness clearly have an agenda.

Imam didnt even last enough balls to have let Pakistan miss their target.

If Pakistan are short 10 or 20 runs, its not cause of Imam.

 

[Chokli]

that is too much mamu

 

[Justcrazy]

England has Tom Curran at number 11

7 off 10 balls is criminal in the powerplay.

the imam haters are the sarfraz lovers

the irony is rich

 

[Hasan123]

Shaheen should always be bowling before Faheem.

 

[Green Patriot]

The kid in the comm box is so cute

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Babar was 18 off 18 in poweplay.

 

[Gullycricket]

Eyes lit up.Hasnain here

 

[AFM]

England's running has been a lot better than ours.

Holding the fort. Don't just go off numbers.

Did you even see his slogs / attempts? He was pathetic in the first over he faced. I would rather see him block than what he was doing in the first 6 balls he faced. Terrible is the word for that pathetic lousybatting

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Hassu and Shaheen have baby faces haha.

 

[Syed1]

This kid might get tonked on the short boundary.... needs to be wary of his line

 

[Chokli]

Haris Rauf would have been a better selection.

 

[Hasan123]

Root is the key wicket. As much as a I like Vince I would never trust him.

 

[Afhan Ali]

Vince is good enough to replace Hales

Not supporting Imam is one thing.

To keep repeating the same thing every other post is trolling and there is only few who do that here.

That was my point.

 

[Chokli]

Our 90 mph pacer bowling less than 90

 

[imshally81]

Should not be wide... Harsh call

 

[Hasan123]

Put away by Vince.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

The point was Power Play didnt impact Pakistan's final score as they lost their way at the end.

 

[CricVet]

Very wide

 

[Gullycricket]

That was my point.

Agreed.Some posters have 80% posts about Imam

 

[Chokli]

Poor poor selection.

Committee made a blunder select Hasnain over Raud

 

[Slim]

Both one-off games. We also thumped India in the final but we saw what they did to us in the Asia Cup without Kohli.

Asia cup games were a fluke.

 

[waleed88]

Don't see anything great about Mohammad Hasnain, looks at an average bowler with high pace and zero control. Bowling cross seam because he is nervous, but doesn't look in rhythm.

 

[DRsohail]

What about 36/2 we all know we are not good finisher.

 

[imshally81]

5 overs... 5 bowlers...
Good tactics..

 

[Mamoon]

Asia cup games were a fluke.

They weren’t. India are simply much better.

 

[Chokli]

alright dude we get it

Yes it is... because the batsman who comes in at 1 wicket down should be scoring more runs than what a tailender would score...

 

[Gullycricket]

Vince is very good.Just inconsistent.Englands Ahmad Shehzad

 

[Alamgeer]

Bowling cross seem to avoid wides. His selection is a joke.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

What about 36/2 we all know we are not good finisher.

Imam played 10 balls in those 36 balls.

And scored 7 runs.

How can u blame him solely for 26 balls and remaining 29 runs ?

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Yar ye larka class hai :/

 

[Chokli]

Yes it is... because the batsman who comes in at 1 wicket down should be scoring more runs than what a tailender would score...

blame sarfraz for selecting a non-t20 player for the side

specialist captain can't even captain

 

[Afhan Ali]

England are going to win this
Hasan and Faheem are toothless is t20s
Hasnain is inferior version of Wahab

 

[imshally81]

We need wickets..

 

[as-95]

Is the match televised? What speed is Hasnain bowling at?

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan need to keep taking wickets here , Poms batting too deep to contain here

 

[QalandarFan]

They weren’t. India are simply much better.

Maybe without Hafeez Sobers playing.

 

[DRsohail]

wasting few balls and then getting out.

 

[Mamoon]

alright dude we get it

I had to respond to him.

 

[Afhan Ali]

Who is better
Babar or Root

 

[imshally81]

Amir over Husnain... And we have a good team of T20

 

[ARK Rafay]

Don't see anything great about Mohammad Hasnain, looks at an average bowler with high pace and zero control. Bowling cross seam because he is nervous, but doesn't look in rhythm.

Same. If they wanted pace. They should've went with Harris Rauf

 

[QalandarFan]

Is the match televised? What speed is Hasnain bowling at?

He was bowling around 140 Kph (87-88 mph)

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Yes it is... because the batsman who comes in at 1 wicket down should be scoring more runs than what a tailender would score...

Ideally yes.

But Kohli doesnt fire every time at 1 down?

Does India blame him for not reaching targets?

I feel people hate his selection (which is fine) and then their inherent bias about nepotism eliminates all other signs of objectivity.

 

[imshally81]

Who is better
Babar or Root

Obviously babar

 

[as-95]

blame sarfraz for selecting a non-t20 player for the side

specialist captain can't even captain

I blame his uncle for the blatant nepotism. Sarfraz is also at fault for this stupid inclusion. But Imam is also at fault for not working hard on trying to improve his game and become a modern batsman. He is still stuck in the 80’s with his pathetic strike rate. No better than Ahmed Shezhad...
