England defeat Pakistan by four wickets to take 4-0 lead in 5 match series

[MMHS]

What match?

A domestic T20. I wrote something on Amin yesterday, so I was a curious to the basis I wrote that last evening.

 

[On_the_up]

4 down!!!!!!

 

[Pete Rose]

I have never ever rated Morgan. Soft player

 

[ExpressPacer]

Why Sharjeel needs to be in the slips..

 

[big_gamer007]

That's it.. Just need to get rid of Braistrow now early and Pakistan should win this

 

[GreenTigers]

Ben plays baseball style cricket.

 

[On_the_up]

Guldozer does it this time, 2nd slip attacking field, good catching, reaping the rewards.

 

[Justcrazy]

Gul strikes

 

[GreenTigers]

Oh yes, just 2 more please....

 

[Pete Rose]

Azhar might end up with MOM if Pakistan win this

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Jordan is number 11.

they are tailenders for good bowling...if batsman are failing then bowlers can bail you out...u need to be lucky if they can bail u out...

 

[GreenTigers]

Scratchy innings by Morgan come to end.

 

[Adijazz1706]

This looks like one of the matches from the Misbah era, slowish 50+ for the captain, some lower order slogging and wickets tumbling upfront for the opposition. Can't get away from him

 

[itsme]

Lol england trolling pakistan,umar and irfan will become our pace bowling attack now.

 

[On_the_up]

Cricwiz gives Pak 67.8% chance to win this form here, Eng on 31.5%

 

[itsme]

Yeah this looks like thoses soft meaningless win.

 

[zn426]

Bairstow will be a difficult out, but has he played LOI in a while? not sure.

EDIT: checked, he played against SL.

 

[Lords]

Pakistan may actually win this one, looks like changes have made a lot of difference.

 

[JaDed]

Classic Pakistani match,when you think they are down and dusted they comeback with one of their good performances with bowling which shocks everyone.

No, not that. It's a dead rubber - you can check my post on Match preview yesterday.

The biggest nemesis in PAK cricket is pressure - players groomed in shallow system can't stand the mental stress of a heated contest.

If it was an active rubber, by now you would have seen 2 drops at least.

 

[Adijazz1706]

72-5 guys, 72-5!

 

[GreenTigers]

By looking at the stance of almost all ENG batmen, it seems like baseball coach has made a big impact on them.

 

[Justcrazy]

Wickets will be key , England bat right down till 11 .

 

[ask_analyse_act]

attack with 2 slips... ball is doing a bit, bowlers bowling with rhythm, bairstow is playing his first ODI..

 

[Prince_]

Congratulations Pakistan. U guys r Winning it.

 

[ExplicitAI]

Came back after a motive and we're doing pretty well. Shouldn't be deluded by this since it's a dead rubber. England don't really care

 

[MMHS]

This is as predictable as anything can be, unless you have a time machine. I have seen this from the days, Counties stopped hiring PAK players.

Valid point made.

Looking at 2011 WC we can clearly say so.

This is classic Pakistan regardless of the dead-or-aliveness of the series. Randomly coming up with surprise performances from nowhere, both good and bad. We were down 2-0 last time in Eng in 2010, got back to 2-2 and then completely lost it in the decider which is where I agree mental fragility sets in.

Don't scare me bhai..

 

[Strike Rate]

Meanwhile James Taylor tweeted this pic look at the difference

 

[ExplicitAI]

Double

Look from a bit behind, may be WC 1996.

 

[Syed1]

At the airport going to PK seems like boys putting up a good fight. Also Imad Wasim played well to offset the damage done by his captain

 

[Justcrazy]

England still have the edge here , they have absolutely NO tail.

 

[Ellipsism]

I don't where people have seen Hasan bowl between 85-87 mph. He's been trundling between 81-83mph.

 

[Syed1]

Aek aur wicket ki game hai boyyysss

 

[itsme]

Don't scare me bhai..

Why would you scar of guldozer yorkers and the giant bouncer if you are pakistani? Alhamdoulilah pakistani's ambrose and marshall

 

[ExpressPacer]

I don't where people have seen Hasan bowl between 85-87 mph. He's been trundling between 81-83mph.

He's touched 87 in all of the matches. I think he's a good prospect, can easily increase his pace by a yard if he hits the gym.

 

[Adijazz1706]

2 wicketon ki baat hai! Is that Sarfaraz?

 

[Justcrazy]

Look from a bit behind, may be WC 1996.

Pakistan were good side then, but made some mistakes.

Playing Miandad was one of them. If they had planned better , they should have played a spin bowling all rounder who could bat.

Openers were good. Middle order was compact.

Wasim , waqar , Mustaq , Aaamir Sohail , Malik could chip in. Just required another spin option.

Lanka planned perfectly , I think the kind of middle order they had almost protected the openers even if they got out cheaply.

didn't pakistan have any chance to win this super series? ie if they win all remaining matches (2 odi and a T20)

 

[Prince_]

We need a big partnership.

 

[Pete Rose]

Perhaps time to bring on nawaz

 

[Pete Rose]

I don't where people have seen Hasan bowl between 85-87 mph. He's been trundling between 81-83mph.

Previous two matches

 

[wasimjunior]

Need a wicked now

 

[Pete Rose]

Stokes place spin like a caveman. Lots of action and hitting but the ball dribbles over to the close fielders

 

[MMHS]

I am not sure, how many PAK players know about that SS, I doubt anyone. If so, they would have dropped few by now.

 

[Adil_94]

Come on lads a couple more wickets here. England bat ridiculously deep.

 

[Adil_94]

yasir might have done something on this pitch.

 

[Pete Rose]

Not sure if they should have spin on both ends. Pakistan are trying to choke with imad and attack with nawaz.

 

[ask_analyse_act]

nawaz can get stokes..

 

[Pete Rose]

yasir might have done something on this pitch.

Doesnt get enough side spin

 

[Adil_94]

that looked dead

 

[ask_analyse_act]

yasir might have done something on this pitch.

he couldnt do it in UAE and SRILANKA also i guess..

 

[Cricket World]

Try Babr Azam

 

[Adil_94]

damn u umpire that was dead

 

[shah_1]

Nawaz is a better bowler than Imad

That was OUT

 

[Adijazz1706]

Imad is a rubbish bowler, no spin at all.

 

[big_gamer007]

Looked out if that was given Pakistan would have been on top

 

[shah_1]

Imad just darting

 

[London_Lahori]

I hate these umpires, if that was out the finger would have been up before the bowler could appeal.

 

[Adijazz1706]

Lanka planned perfectly , I think the kind of middle order they had almost protected the openers even if they got out cheaply.

Which they did, from time to time.

In unrelated news, Imad Wasim just darts it in incessantly, no spin

 

[ExplicitAI]

I think Eng will win this game, but you never know

 

[Adil_94]

we need wickets consistently against this monster batting line up

 

[Adijazz1706]

This match makes me pine for the spin troika of Ajmal, Afridi and Hafeez. Would go at about 4 an over and 110-120 total and take 3-4 wickets every game

 

[Justcrazy]

Bairstow is pretty good batsman , Pakistan loosing the edge here.

 

[Adijazz1706]

Nawaz sledging and Sarfaraz goes easy Johnny bhai

 

[wasimjunior]

Bring irfan back

 

[Justcrazy]

With this kind of batting line up , you simply cannot contain on this pitch. You need to bowl as if you will play 45 overs

 

[wasimjunior]

Nawaz sledging and Sarfaraz goes easy Johnny bhai

Really like nawaz. At least
Someone with bite

 

[shah_1]

Drop

 

[Adijazz1706]

Dropped, tough one tho.

 

[Adil_94]

we needed to take that one.

 

[big_gamer007]

Gotta take close chances

 

[ExpressPacer]

Gotta take close chances

There was never a chance though, he was the one that created a chance. So, good on him for the effort.

 

[Adijazz1706]

Where was this fielding effort a couple of days ago?

 

[Adil_94]

England will cruise this

 

[Sandeep]

There is an arrogance in Stokes batting.. you can feel it.. what a player!

 

[Adijazz1706]

Need to get the 5th before 150 otherwise it will be too little too late.
