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

[Cricket World]

England must be wondering where is Wahab

 

[BabarAkmal_Fan]

Gul is garbage

 

[Cricket World]

Here comes Gul to release the pressure

 

[ask_analyse_act]

why umar gul cannot bowl on good line an length,, he lost it completely since sehwags hammering

 

[Cricket World]

This must be last series for
Gul
Malik
Hafeez
Nawaz
Sami
Rizwan

 

[IcedCoffee]

His feet were on the danger area every single ball almost.The umpires have actually been lenient on him

Doesn't matter; this isn't a test match. It's another issue that the rule is idiotic to begin with since the danger area starts at 6-8 feet not 4-5, but aside from that, in this format, a few steps clipping the center won't do much a) in such short bursts b) on such flat pattas c) likely won't have that much bigger an impact than batsmen coming down the pitch every other ball especially towards the end anyway.

When a format already favors batsmen so much, the last thing you should be doing is going so hard at the bowlers with these silly restrictions.

good captaincy by azhar

Couldn't agree more

 

[Markhor]

Jolly green giant to the rescue.

 

[IcedCoffee]

That's like saying an umpire shouldn't call a no ball if the bowler balls a brilliant delivery but his foot is way past the line.

What does the bowler bowling well have to do with anything? Rules and rules and the umpire has been very lenient with him.

Bowling well is difficult on these flat pattas. It takes effort, and when the bowler finally manages that you burden him with more silly restrictions regarding where he lands. It's understandable in a 5 day test match, but not in a 50 over ODI game.

 

[Hasan123]

Credit to Azhar captaincy here tbh

 

[Mr Consistent]

Not Out Review wasted

 

[On_the_up]

Fantastic decision by the umpire originally

 

[ritzy_123]

I think the previous one was definitely out but this one was one bizarre review

 

[Cricket World]

Better use bowling machines so no danger of running on wickets

 

[GreenTigers]

Something I don't understand. Why the hell there is only 1 review available???

 

[On_the_up]

Irfan making these England players look like chumps.

 

[Cricket World]

Morgan is a flop batsman even in IPL

 

[yasir]

We have one tall guy (A prefect fit for modern game), alas he is not fit enough...He could have easily been world no bowler, had he being fit, size does matter, not worked out for us

 

[ask_analyse_act]

excellent over from irfan

 

[GreenTigers]

Morgan struggled against Irfan, certainly.

 

[IcedCoffee]

Hope Hassan doesn't get milked.

 

[ask_analyse_act]

I think the previous one was definitely out but this one was one bizarre review

i also think the previous one was out....but no hot spot replays

 

[BabarAkmal_Fan]

what the hell wasim "azhar ali is young at 31"

 

[HitWicket]

Morgan is a flop batsman even in IPL

Morgans averages practically 50 with a strike rate of around 90 since the 2015 world cup and took Pakistan to shreds last game...

 

[On_the_up]

Hassan wasting Irfan's hard work

 

[IcedCoffee]

Halwa ball there.

 

[mz123]

hasan gets a phainty

 

[Mr Consistent]

Back 2 back boundries by Root

 

[Executioner]

Match Is getting interesting if one more wicket falls

 

[Cricket World]

Hassan Ali is nothing special

 

[IcedCoffee]

Miandad's scored NINE 50s in a row!? That's incredible.

 

[fazleefridi]

Just 2 singles in powerplay by England...by Root...

England copying Pakistan...still striking more than 5 runs per over

 

[SM1989]

Hassan Ali's over has shifted the momentum. All pressure released

 

[ask_analyse_act]

imad get morgan please

 

[IcedCoffee]

lol Yasir looks like an uncle in his 40s running.

 

[Justcrazy]

Irfan is good with new ball. He usually gets wickets

 

[Justcrazy]

Root is in red hot form , need to get this guy

 

[mz123]

Hassan Ali's over has shifted the momentum. All pressure released

 

[On_the_up]

Game on now.

 

[ExpressPacer]

Irfan is not only a better bowler than most of the lads, but a better fielder too. Brings back memories of Rahat Ali from the Semi..

 

[Mr Consistent]

Root gone

 

[Cricket World]

Game on

 

[ask_analyse_act]

root gone yeyeyeyeye

 

[zn426]

Root is in red hot form , need to get this guy

Wish granted!

If only we'd brought on a younger quick than Umar Gul.

 

[Justcrazy]

root gone , 5 consecutive 50s from him , could not get the sixth one . Miandad record saved :miandad

 

[ExpressPacer]

lol Yasir looks like an uncle in his 40s running.

He's better than most of the guys we have on the field.

 

[ask_analyse_act]

game on hai

 

[big_gamer007]

Looks like Pakistan gonna win this

 

[GreenTigers]

Oh yes, my man Hassan gets baby face...

 

[Pete Rose]

Much better intensity today

 

[ExpressPacer]

Not a fan of Hasan Ali but he's bowling good lines. He'll only get better from here. I feel so happy that we finally have a good pacer.

 

[sarmadsl]

Sarfraz looking very active in the field suggests some thing

 

[Cricket World]

Now please get Morgan

 

[GreenTigers]

Mogan is struggling big time...Shaba Hassan Shaba.

 

[ExpressPacer]

Looks like Pakistan gonna win this

Not sure if that's a good thing considering we'll see some old faces ...AGAIN.

 

[zn426]

Credit to Irfan for taking the catch. Can't be easy for a poor fielder like him.

 

[IcedCoffee]

He's better than most of the guys we have on the field.

That's true. Especially Sharjeel who really should just stay in the slips.

 

[SM1989]

England bat really deep, so they should win this

 

[Pete Rose]

Having said everything I have about our poor batting today, I don't think this is an easy pitch to bat. Balls are holding up a bit

 

[GreenTigers]

To drop catches

And who doesn't do it?

 

[ask_analyse_act]

no woakes , so the batting line up is not very long...

 

[Pete Rose]

I think they need to bowl nawaz

 

[HitWicket]

no woakes , so the batting line up is not very long...

The batting lineup is longer today, but the quality is a bit more spread.

 

[ExpressPacer]

As soon as we start playing aggressively, we see a different side.

 

[MMHS]

Looks like, need to watch the game now.

 

[Cricket World]

Wish we had off spin option against two left handers

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan need to keep looking for wickets here , that is the only way to win.

 

[Cricket World]

Try Babar Azam

 

[MMHS]

Azhar must be ready to accept defeat in 45 overs.

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Looks like Pakistan gonna win this

if they win it then they win it without hafeez and malik.. way to go....

 

[Justcrazy]

no woakes , so the batting line up is not very long...

Jordan is number 11.

 

[Justcrazy]

Need wickets at regular intervals .

 

[MMHS]

Was checking score of other match - Amin has played a gem to chase a match (& got under Lala's THICK skin)

 

[big_gamer007]

if they win it then they win it without hafeez and malik.. way to go....

Malik's record is atrocious in England and champs trophy and World Cup is in England so he should be dropped.. Hafeez I think has been your best batsman in last 5-6 years in ODI? Would be hard to drop him even if that's what is needed..

Jordan is number 11.

Haha well Yhe inform batsmen are out and Pakistan are bowling well atm and creating pressure.. Just need a couple more quick wickets to wrap up the game..

 

[IcedCoffee]

Was checking score of other match - Amin has played a gem to chase a match (& got under Lala's THICK skin)

What match?

 

[Pete Rose]

It's a big call, but whether Pakistan win from now will depend on how Azhar handles his spinners

 

[Ind_Yeah]

This Hasan Ali is worthy of playing for National Pakistan team? Not impressed.

 

[MMHS]

Can't Babar bowl couple of overs into the end Irfan was bowling round the wicket, with 2 lefti on?

 

[the Great Khan]

Having said everything I have about our poor batting today, I don't think this is an easy pitch to bat. Balls are holding up a bit

Again shows up our twelve year old analysts who want azhars head.
