England v Pakistan | 1st ODI | Cardiff | 8th July, 2021 | Pakistan innings

[uberkoen]

Well, this is depressing

 

[Yasir_ch]

Pressure on debutant saud

 

[topspin]

lol.. Really he will get a million dollar contracts now..

I actually miss watching the likes of Munaf Patel, Praveen Kumar and etc.

There was something very romantic about their medium pace.

 

[ask_analyse_act]

England are literally fielding a zimbabwe type side and Pakistan are gonna get thrashed.

well then this pakistan team is playing worse than canada lol

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

Gregory Lewis opening the bowling

Zimbabwe/Bangladesh vibes here!

looks like Fakhar did not get any such vibes.

 

[Rana]

Lewis Gregory would make India's ODI team. His medium pace fits their DNA.

15 crore in IPL

 

[Rana]

One of the great leaves by Fakhar Zaman

 

[SangasCoverDrive]

Is this England squad only for 1 ODI?

 

[AdamM97]

If Pakistan ends up losing this, it will 100% be more embarrassing than the defeat against Zimbabwe at home last year.

 

[Ahmed216]

The most technical cricketer In world cricket

U're getting carried away bro

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

I actually miss watching the likes of Munaf Patel, Praveen Kumar and etc.

There was something very romantic about their medium pace.

yeah. they also get important wickets like Munaf got Hafeez out in a crucial WC semi-final and Kumar was man of match in 2008 VB series final.

 

[street cricketer]

Nah bro, economically this wouldve been dumb. The players we are facing are not anything special but issue is our team is always complacent.. these fools probably already though nice free series win.. lmao

Let's be honest, if this had happened in Pakistan, the English contingent would have been half way to the Heathrow in mid air as news of bubble breach breaks in the media. But I understand the financial aspect of it and why Pakistan can't do that.

The English seconds team is a pretty good team in its own right with players like Malan, Saqib, Vince, etc., to support Stokes but don't know how the rest go in LOIs. It won't be a cake walk by any means but still Pakistan should win the series.

 

[imshally81]

220-250 is a winning score on this pitch

280+

 

[silentkiller187]

saud shakeel looks like hes shaking in his boots needs to calm down and relax a little get bat on ball plenty of time left

 

[Rana]

First runs for Saud

 

[Yasir_ch]

Show us what you are made of saud Shakeel.It's your chance now.

 

[sindhiboy]

Well this is embarrassing. Pitch seems to have quite some seam movement

 

[shamaan]

U're getting carried away bro

Hahaha lol

 

[topspin]

15 crore in IPL

Easily bro. He's one of the bowlers who would make it without having to fill the IPL application form like other bowlers do.

 

[Rana]

Craig Overton the racist picked against Pakistan!

 

[Titan24]

On this wicket Srl struggled to get 250 in all 3 matches rather 200 in 2 of them. Eng lost 5 wickets while chasing 189 in the first ODI. Not the usual high scoring surface here one would assume

 

[silentkiller187]

280+

average score 243 take into considerations conditions, probably will shower and englands list of debutants, if pak can get to 240 they will win

 

[RexRex]

This is a shocking start by Pakistan vs Eng C team.

 

[Rana]

Saud Shaqeel is around 5 ft 3 I recon

 

[SangasCoverDrive]

Saud doesn't look anything special.

 

[ask_analyse_act]

what are these guys been practicing for the last couple of weeks..

 

[Banton10]

Lol pakistan batsman are hacks

 

[IAJ]

Show us what you are made of saud Shakeel.It's your chance now.

Same old rubbish from Misbah and co. Don't play young players against weaker opposition but throw them in SENA conditions.

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

15 crore in IPL

nah give him 30 cr.. double it.

 

[Greenstorm]

Fakhar is giving too much respect to Gregory.

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

well time to log off.. good luck Pakistan.
But if England wins, well some work to do for Misbah and Co.

 

[Pakhs]

People are jumping the gun, there was a bit of help on the wicket and few wickets have gone down. Good chance for saud and maqsood.

 

[Ahmed216]

Sometimes playing against bowlers you haven't seen much of can be difficult.

 

[topspin]

yeah. they also get important wickets like Munaf got Hafeez out in a crucial WC semi-final and Kumar was man of match in 2008 VB series final.

Exactly it's why I prefer these bowlers over the current bunch. They show more character and have better methods in their craft.

Watching Ashish Nehra, Agarker and Ganguly bowl was like poetry in motion.

 

[Titan24]

Fakhar is giving too much respect to Gregory.

Impact of loosing early wickets. They want to get a partnership going and keep its safe by only going after bad balls for sometime

 

[SangasCoverDrive]

Sometimes playing against bowlers you haven't seen much of can be difficult.

Gregory and Saqib both have played in PSL.

 

[AdamM97]

Hopefully this won’t backfire but I really want to see Fakhar do well today. It’s always a treat to watch him bat well.

 

[Devadwal]

Fakhar well set for Big hundred here

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

Excellent opportunity for Saud to take his time and build..

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Imagine this team touring SA last series, had they lost 3 wickets like this early there then Danish and Asif would be batting at the crease now lol..Atleast it is Saud and Fakhar with maqsood waiting to come..

 

[Greenstorm]

People are jumping the gun, there was a bit of help on the wicket and few wickets have gone down. Good chance for saud and maqsood.

This. Fakhar can tear them apart if he gets set.

 

[street cricketer]

This English team has got heavy PSL overseas player vibes about it - Salt, Vince, Gregory, Malan, Mahmood.

 

[Kroll]

Misbah needs to get booted. No appreciation for development or induction at the right time.

 

[shamaan]

well time to log off.. good luck Pakistan.
But if England wins, well some work to do for Misbah and Co.

Sacked

 

[Rana]

Exactly it's why I prefer these bowlers over the current bunch. They show more character and have better methods in their craft.

Watching Ashish Nehra, Agarker and Ganguly bowl was like poetry in motion.

Agarkar could bat too.

 

[Greenstorm]

Impact of loosing early wickets. They want to get a partnership going and keep its safe by only going after bad balls for sometime

Yes it's understandable.

 

[imshally81]

average score 243 take into considerations conditions, probably will shower and englands list of debutants, if pak can get to 240 they will win

Boundaries are small with fast outfield....

And Pakistan managed the RR 4+ after 3 early wickets mean... This is good pitch for bat

 

[Rana]

Saud Shaqeel looks like another accumalator at this level. Too many of these one dimensional batsmen in this set up!

 

[Rafa]

No end to this misery

 

[silentkiller187]

gone shakeel

 

[imshally81]

Saud gone and reviewed the decision

 

[Rana]

What a pointless stay at the wicket!

 

[AdamM97]

Looks out

 

[YousafTheBeast]

Out for less than 100. Crowd should get a refund imo

 

[imshally81]

Umpire call... Feel for saud

 

[Kroll]

The torture continues. Who the hell trains these guys?

 

[Shafi]

Sacked

Misbah is too powerful to sack!!!

 

[silentkiller187]

Boundaries are small with fast outfield....

And Pakistan managed the RR 4+ after 3 early wickets mean... This is good pitch for bat

Good batting scores in england usually mean 350-400 . not sure how many glamorgan games you have seen this season or SLvs England games prior to this, but i can assure you this is not a batting pitch.

Seems irrelevant at the moment anyway PAK will be lucky to get 100

 

[Titan24]

Top stuff from Mahmood here. Impressed quite a few in PSL as well.

 

[AdamM97]

Out for less than 100. Crowd should get a refund imo

Fans should get a refund. Should’ve seen all the hype on PCB’s youtube channel on how hard the players are working on their cricket.

 

[silentkiller187]

Maqsood and zaman might aswel hit out

 

[SangasCoverDrive]

Saud looks pretty average.

 

[shamaan]

Awful stuff

 

[Titan24]

Not the ideal situation and conditions for Maqsood

 

[deep82]

Another comical performance from a medicore team. Playing aginst C teams and zimbawe from past 6 months and stull struggling !!!

 

[shamaan]

Saud looks pretty average.

Pressure

 

[Kroll]

If Misbah hadnt grabbed 2 roles for himself, hed be out on his ear.

 

[Rana]

The torture continues. Who the hell trains these guys?

Misbah the legend

 

[Sir-fraz]

Let's be honest, if this had happened in Pakistan, the English contingent would have been half way to the Heathrow in mid air as news of bubble breach breaks in the media. But I understand the financial aspect of it and why Pakistan can't do that.

Not looking likw that atm, lets see if pak can get to 270-280. Looking like an L other wise

 

[Rana]

Another comical performance from a medicore team. Playing aginst C teams and zimbawe from past 6 months and stull struggling !!!

Are you talking about India?

 

[Coolcapri]

Pathetic,

 

[Rana]

Positive start by Maqsood

 

[sindhiboy]

Class from Saqib. Should definitely make the first choice team

 

[Yasir_ch]

So saud is yet another overhyped played.

 

[silentkiller187]

these two need to hack their way to some respectability

 

[Rana]

Class from Fakhar 193!

 

[Rana]

So saud is yet another overhyped played.

Picked for the wrong format clearly

Something which the Pakistani selectors and management are experts in doing

 

[jattafridi]

Fakhar zaman what a player

 

[IAJ]

Saud looks pretty average.

Apart from Babar, all of them are mediocre. I am glad I don't waste so much time on these jokers anymore. Just follow the score at cricinfo when I am worrking or skipping in with some comments here at PP, that's it.

 

[Greenstorm]

I feel like Maxi will perform today.
