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

[MMHS]

What happened to Micky? Why is he yelling lol. G. Flower on the other hand just chilling.

Mickey is telling Grant - you fool, I asked about who fit Irfan is, before calling replacement, you said cool. Now, what's this?

Grant - mitty pao yaar, just 3 months in job, I have 2 more years experience.

Mickey is agitated , he wants to win last two OD desparately

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Why the heck was Irfan selected?

was my question when he was sent in as replacement for hafeez... he didnt go to kakul was never in the plans for selection suddenly they brought him and he is not match fit..

 

[ExplicitAI]

Morene Ali is no tailender with the bat, he'll be very comfortable at this stage to chase down the target

 

[Justcrazy]

Bairstow is not bothered

 

[Pete Rose]

Mickey Arthur needs to get a grip on his emotions. It is understandable, his frustration

 

[NauV]

What do you guys make of Guls performance today?
Imad wasim can be your number 7 .. need a fast bowling all-rounder at 8 .. Hassan Ali is not an all-rounder for all who labeled him as such .. the farthest thing away from an all-rounder.. so he isn't the answer .. and amir needs to be at 9 ..

They have no tail , everyone can bat.

 

[MMHS]

Has Azhar ever "generated' a wicket? I have seen most of his matches, particularly during bowling. It's either regulation out or batsman throwing it casually.

Its sad bowling went so bad , otherwise he would have been good number 9 or 10 , he is a clean striker .

You are asking too much from Azhar

He is not tactically good , probably worst among Pakistan captains. He will give competition to Waqar and Youhana.

irfan back in the field again....

I am absolutely willing to concede that you know a lot more about his ability than I do .. but based on whatever Cricket I have watched and watching him today and in the last game .. the guy is not even better than yasir, wahab or amir.. he made 9 of 20 odd today .. no clean striking .. but again.. I haven't watched him play outside this series .. just on the basis of that .. he is not an all-rounder (just can't bat)

 

[lonex]

Completely agree with you.. At this moment, I don't know for what he is saving Gul, we need two wickets immediately to bring us back in the game. He is probably saving Gul, when match is already out of hand.

 

[ethan hunt]

I am not sure from where my [MENTION=132916]Junaids[/MENTION] boss saw Hasan Ali, but any given day I'll play Anwar over him. I don't know what he offers to be honest - pace is no issue these days; in Bangladesh, we have at least 2 dozen pacers who can clock around 134km; he is 5'9"; his ideal batting position is No. 10 even in this PAK team, because today Irfan is playing.

Sorry for the young man, but just not good enough & I don't think he is young enough to improve drastically either. I'll spend that resource on Ehsan Adil & try to improve Aamir/Yasir's batting.

I get your point but stop exaggerating .
Bangladesh doesnt have 2 dozen bowlers who.bowl 135 plus .
I watched a bit of the BPL and a few sides didnt even have 1.

Read the score card again ....

[Flat_Track_Bully]

So are we a better bowling or batting side?

 

[ExplicitAI]

I'm really curious on what Azhar is going to say at the post match presentation

 

[PTI]

None.

 

[Justcrazy]

for Bairstow

 

[NauV]

Read the score card again ....

Just did .. 9 of 19 .. and mistimed a full toss to point .. and the commentators also said "any better batsman would have smashed that" .. am I missing something?

 

[endymion248]

Credit to England but we were 30-40 runs short. We could have been in the game if we batted better. We are better than our ranking suggests.

 

[HitWicket]

Bit awkward that Bairstow still won't get in England's strongest XI.

He'll say all that with a slight smile, typical of Azhar

England sub fielders joining in with the Mexican wave . Mark Woods hilarious.

Some catches dropped and loose shots at wrong time let us down .

Losing ODI's don't even hurt anymore, I get upset if we lose Tests and T20's

[Flat_Track_Bully]

I can honestly say this is the worst Pakistan ODI team I have ever seen.

 

[Justcrazy]

Irfan is back on.

 

[Lords]

English players having some fun, nice to see

Pakistan still in the game, one or two wickets will change everything

Easily , if you look at collective team effort match after match

Even a hattrick will not change. The batting is far too deep.

I second this

Bangladesh bowlers are mentally groomed in a system where they don't bowl for the speed gun in a T20 on a sluggish wicket.

Whattay depth.

Mickey is never gonna play irfan again LOL

 

[arehaan]

What is the big joke why is this team behaving as if we have won this series

 

[Justcrazy]

Irfan back now.

 

[Lords]

Vadde log, vaddi wides

 

[Adil_94]

irfans pakistan career is over

 

[Adil_94]

mickey is fuming

 

[MMHS]

And Ul Haq picked this guy for the only T20........

 

[Mr Consistent]

ifran off the field

 

[Justcrazy]

Irfan is probably the most unfit player ever to play the game.

 

[Gone]

This is embarrasing, but i think Irfan's fitness is shocking.

 

[Watsupdoc]

Mikey Arthur isn't happy

 

[Justcrazy]

Mickey is really annoyed here !!!

 

[endymion248]

They are mentally groomed so that no Bengali can bowl above 140 kph? Who is doing this stupid grooming?

Its criminal .

 

[endymion248]

Nawaz and Sarfraz - Quetta buddies.

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

What a mess.

 

[Lords]

Irfan back now.

Back to pavilion that is.
I dont understand why was he called back as replacement, and i dont understand why was he brought back to attack when he is clearly not well enough to bowl more than one wide ball

 

[Justcrazy]

Irfan leaving the field again , this is embarrasing for Pakistan

 

[Gone]

Will be interesting to see who chips in for irfan.

 

[Gosha]

Utter embarrassment

 

[Watsupdoc]

Irfan has only played one T20 since end of April and he was selected for both OD and T20 series? Well done Inzi bhai! Your logic is kamal ka!

 

[NauV]

Irfans fitness can be shocking.. but how the hell can the selection committee select such a player? This is absolutely ludicrous.. these people are unselectabke .. how can you select someone who can give you just 5 overs? Send him in on a tour he wasn't originally selected for on fitness grounds.. and then he gets injured after half a game .. comedy! Daft think tank

 

[BabarAkmal_Fan]

Mickey is gonna send Irfan home

 

[ExplicitAI]

Mickey Arthur looks too angry compared to any previous coach we've had

 

[Justcrazy]

5 - 0 whitewash is really terrible. At least players should have fought for some dignity , its simply pathetic.

Interesting point from Nass, all the army training etc is no good if you don't have match fitness. There is no substitute for bowling in matches.

 

[MMHS]

Don't change Goal Post, if you don't have the answer. Even bowling 150km doesn't help if you chase batsman 1 metre high & 2 metre wide.

That is good. You should be angry with this.

Koi nhe Mickey bro. Aadat ho jaye ge

You can afford one such bowler in your XI , but that bowler has to be on target at least 3 - 4 balls each over.
