On that NY wicket, that was 160-170 on a normal wicket. You lot wouldn't even have crossed a 100 had Dube not dropped a sitter early on.

Buddy we all know how that chase was going for Pakistan in the start. The constant brain farts by Fakhar, Rizwan and then Imad were just a collective cricketing suicide by the team. No other team would have let India defend that pathetic total. Indian batting was taken to the cleaners that day.


Lucky escape just like the final of the same tournament.

No, they shpuld focus on batting as long as possible and ideally all the way till day 4.

They can bowl England put on a day 5 which is basically day 10.

England won't settle for a draw, it's against their nature so they can easily get bowled out in a day

Looks like you're still hurting. It's fine but you must not lose objectivity.

Pakistan were only under the illusion of a controlled chase that day. At no point were they running away with the game. It was not easy to score 6 RPO on that wicket and with Bumrah in the bank , it was never going to be easy. 120 was more than enough..lol at taken to the cleaners.

Scoring 120 in a t20 is not being taken to the cleaners? Should i correct myself to a godly batting performance?
You can say whatever you want but any other team would have not let India defend that. Bumrah bowls 4 overs, not the full 20.

C'mon they don't even pick him in the side most of the time because they know he can't do anything.

Indian seamers have bowled well only for last 6-7 years but Ashwin been playing since 2011 I think.

Pak have had great seamers over the years but we always had mushi saqlain ajmal doing the damage in England

We don't pick him because we have Jadeja who is a more appropriate option for the 4+1 combination that we play in SENA. Had we had a seam bowling all rounder like Pandya available, he would have played each and every test match for us in the past 7-8 years.
 
England shouldn't be able chase anything above 300.

That should be the target for PAK

Bruv relax. Stop getting all emo.

A mediocre Bangladeshi bowling attack restricted the power packed south african batting line-up to a "measly 115" on the same wicket. And proceeded to lose..

That was a pathetic T20 wicket and any decent bowling attack would restrict any team in the world below 130 on it. Again...lol at taken to the cleaners.

Pakistan is a rubbish team plain and simple. You're really pushing it with an Indian narrative.

No team on the planet would just falter when 40 of 40 are needed and imad misses an entire over, followed by chacha missing 3 full tosses and very easy full tosses.

Any top team would have finished India off as soon as they bowled that rubbish.

However Pakistan is playing with chacha who keeps getting out to full tosses by Neesham and netralvalkar and imad wasim who proved he could no longer run.

Credit India for winning a tournament, don't credit them for them being magical that day.

If a team is rubbish on one day even winning then their rubbish plain and simple.

Aus vs SA semi final was also rubbish, Both teams batted poorly but sa was the bigger rubbish that day. You don't see me defending aus like they achieved a messiah objective.
 
This last wicket partnership is actually a good sign for Pakistan. This is still a decent wicket to bat on.
 
7fer for Sajid, well done chap! Now they you lot better give England 500 to chase. Lesssgooo!

500? They ain't scoring 420 here bro. Wicket will continue deteriorating.

Regardless, 300-320 total shpuld be enough to beat England.
 
Aqib Chad Javed managed Pakistan to bowl out England finally. Something einstein Ghantay ka Raja claimed was impossible and told us to focus on Babar's centuries.
 
Day 3: Innings Break - England trail by 75 runs

ENG 291 (67.2) CRR: 4.32
 
This has been the 10th time that Pakistan's spinners have claimed all ten wickets at home.
 
Mesozoic said:
Spinners can pick fifers in SENA only when they bowl alongside an incompetent pace attack. It's not easy when you have to share wickets with Bumrah, Shami, Ishant, Siraj etc.

A fifer is not the same as a century while batting. There are limited wickets.

Also Saeed Ajmal, despite a dodgy action, had a strike rate on par with Ashwin in SENA countries.

PAK just kept bowling their spinners till they got wickets . India play 5 bowlers and don't do that.
 
Pak should try to get 275. With heavy roller again they will have a decent pitch to bat on for an hr or so. 350 won’t be chaseable on day 4/5.

5 bowlers is ideal for test cricket. I dont know why Pakistan insists on keeping 4 bowlers. Insecure about the batting lineup i guess.

Anything is chaseable if its England :ba
 
England have done well to get close to the total given the circumstances early on. Given how Pakistan have been in the last 15 months, England are still in the game.
 
Saim needs to bat responsibly here. Show you got some character in you.
 
Mushtaq Ahmed fifers in SENA - 6 when Pak played Akram Waqar Shoaib

Ashwin fifers in SENA - 0 playing with legends Ishant Bhuvi Umesh for half of his career.
 
Former Pakistan Cricket Board chairman Ramiz Raja on Sky Sports:

"Pakistan have had their struggles in the second innings, it's great they have a lead.

The best chance for a batter to score is against a hard, new ball and it will settle the nerves in the dressing room."
 
Look at the field set by England. Shan Masood is just a mediocre captain.

The roller has done a good job. England wrapped up way too quickly. There is still shots on offer in the first session at least with the new ball
 
Bashir overpitching way too much this series.

Leach bowls around 55-60% in the right areas . Don Bashir is around the 35-40% mark
 
This is Pakistan's big chance.

They need a good score here to claw back into the series. 400 a.o. won't hurt.
 
Ye to Pakstanis ko liye badi khushshi din hai (mera urdu o Bangladeshi journalist ko English ki tara hai " Final match. You perform. Whats happening" 😄. So sorry )
Pakistan is doing well , India is doing bad. So party...
 
Best time to bat is now and Shafque is stat padding.

I would open with Shan in the next test.

He can be our Ben Duckett
 
Let's sew if we can get 220 here and 300 lead. Need to bat positively
 
Strike rotation and pick off bad balls is key here
 
He never looked comfortable.

They really need to work on their sweep game.
 
There were spikes before the ball made contact with the bat.

The technology is broken and the person operating it is stupid.
 
What will it take for PCB to kick Abdullah out of team. He is useless.
 
Our batsmen always bat under pressure, regardless of the opposition or situation. Where is the daleri ? :sharif
 
Shafique once averaged in 70'. And is now in danger of dropping in 40', despite playing many tests on highways.
 
Need to go after the ball as the pitch will continue to get worse with each passing hour.
