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

[sam_ahm]

This is beyond embarrassing from Pakistan, they've made Sri Lanka look good.

 

[sindhiboy]

Those kids are learning about being a Pakistan supporter nice and early

 

[PakistanMeriJaan]

As an all-rounder Hassan ali > Shadab Khan and Hassan is a tail ender lol

 

[guna]

is it too late to cancel the tour??

This is their first match in England after playing PSL. The habit of standing and punching the ball does not go away so easily. The bounce is troubling Pakistan batsmen.

 

[shamaan]

Hassan Ali should play his natural game

 

[deep82]

Unfair to England spectators !!!

First Srilankan medicority and now no respite from Pakistan medicority....no FIGHT.

Looks like they need to wait till August for some real tough cricket - Ind vs ENG.

 

[ahmed16]

We really need to re-evaluate Shadabs place, I simply can't understand why keep selecting him?

Also, I think Babar Azams honeymoon period is over. Now we're going to see what he's made of as both a player and a captain. First test is an England lions side.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Eng 81 all out.

 

[Majid Khan]

Shadab batting in the middle of a collapse gives you about as much confidence as Aqib Javed with a bat.. in other words , you see the sight of these guys with a bat and read it as it’s all over now.

 

[guna]

This is beyond embarrassing from Pakistan, they've made Sri Lanka look good.

India is next in line. They better up their game or they will be embarrassed too.

 

[UzmanBeast]

Horrible batting but good bowling from England.

Imam's dismissal looks awfully similar to his against Vijay Shankar in 2019 WC. England have clearly done their research.

I want to see some fight with the ball.

 

[Abdurmirr]

Well that six will probably seal Shadab's selection for the rest of the series.

 

[guna]

from Hasan Ali.

 

[Afhan Ali]

Can't even laugh at pakistan team.
It is almost written on the walls that they will humiliate our already humiliated nation.

 

[Greenstorm]

This is what Fakhar should have done with Parkinson.

 

[PakistanMeriJaan]

Shadab PSL mode acitivated

 

[sharmaji]

Just tuned in. Wow, is the pitch so difficult to bat? As I say it, Shadab hits a six. I hope SHadab and Hassan Ali get the score to 200, then we'll have a match.

 

[UzmanBeast]

Play out the pacers and look for singles.

Play out all 50 overs to get a decent 220 on the board.

And hope for some luck with the ball.

 

[SangasCoverDrive]

One six enough to get Shadab in the team for next 10 years.

 

[Ahmed216]

Very soon we'll need a replacement for both captain n coach

 

[guna]

If Pakistan can somehow get to 180, they will be in with a decent chance. England batting looks very weak. Full of nobodies.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Hasan’s batting is so entertaining to watch

 

[Rana]

Shadab is on par with his average

Incredible how he averages 25 in ODI cricket

 

[silentkiller187]

rotti gang needs to stand up

 

[dildilpak]

I just caught up with the score card.. oh man, what a debacle! And that too against an England B team, pathetic!

 

[Colorblind Genius]

Play out the pacers and look for singles.

Play out all 50 overs to get a decent 220 on the board.

And hope for some luck with the ball.

ohhhh, you are talking about match awareness?
I mean, is that even a real expectation from this team?

 

[shamaan]

Shadab proving to everyone he's good enough with the bat

 

[SangasCoverDrive]

Shadab is on par with his average

Incredible how he averages 25 in ODI cricket

Playing against Zimbabwe helps.

 

[shamaan]

Play out the pacers and look for singles.

Play out all 50 overs to get a decent 220 on the board.

And hope for some luck with the ball.

Attack no point trying to play the overs

 

[Mesozoic]

Saqib Mahmood can be the wild card for England if they pick him for the Ashes in Australia. Perfect bowler for those conditions.

But they'll most likely pick the same old Jimmy and Broad.

 

[Abdurmirr]

No top 8 team would ever be in this position against England D except Pakistan.

Hell even Zimbabwe and Ireland would be doing better than this lot

 

[ask_analyse_act]

brainless batting... Dinesh kartik is scripting this mediocre cricketers approach shows how much predictable this team is , they call themselves unpredictable lot lol...

 

[Rana]

Shadab is decent but he shouldnt be anywhere before the top 7

Whereas our top 7 seem to be a joke as well

 

[SangasCoverDrive]

Saqib Mahmood can be the wild card for England if they pick him for the Ashes in Australia. Perfect bowler for those conditions.

But they'll most likely pick the same old Jimmy and Broad.

He is gonna be in the team anyways.

 

[Rafa]

This is embarrassing.

 

[AMSS]

Is it really ENG A? Doubt it. Looks a squad patched up in hurry.

 

[adzzy786]

Shadab is decent but he shouldnt be anywhere before the top 7

Whereas our top 7 seem to be a joke as well

Our tail starts at 4 so what do you expect

 

[shamaan]

Hassan Ali should be ahead of shadab....

 

[Ahmed216]

Shadab is on par with his average

Incredible how he averages 25 in ODI cricket

At a staggering SR of 70

 

[SangasCoverDrive]

No top 8 team would ever be in this position against England D except Pakistan.

Hell even Zimbabwe and Ireland would be doing better than this lot

Ireland chased 328 last year against a much better England side.

 

[IMMY69]

Some top notch brainless cricket being played!

 

[PakistanMeriJaan]

Fs do these guys not have any match awareness.

 

[adzzy786]

I don’t understand why Hassan Ali has played that shot. He knows how to bat, he can bat. Your teams needs runs and you play a pathetic shot

 

[Kroll]

I always laugh whenever the tour training pictures/videos are posted. As you know Pak will humiliate themselves when it comes to match time.

 

[SangasCoverDrive]

Hassan Ali scored a century in the QEA final this year. Tells you a lot about the standard of bowling in Pakistan domestic.

 

[Mesozoic]

He is gonna be in the team anyways.

I doubt it.

Anderson
Broad
Woakes
Archer
Wood
Stone
Robinson (if he returns from the ban)


Very tough for him to break in even into the squad.

 

[Maher96]

I feared Babar and Rizwan at 3 and 4 and it flopped.

Imam batting should be no where near the team.

Faheem and Hassan should not come before number 9 or 10. Shadab is a number 8.

Saud shakeel has nothing to do at interntianl cricket.

MoHa could walk into this team currently. Not that he will set the world alight.

Fawad Alam would not have been a bad shout looking at current standards.

 

[Shafi]

I was criticizing our women team for bad performance but at least they perform better better than our men team.

 

[Rana]

The guy bowled superb

Respect

 

[Energy]

Ben's babes v Pakistan XI is a fun middle school game. Has lived up to its billing so far.

To call this a national level match which serious, reputation on the line calibre, is doing injustice.

 

[sharmaji]

DK needs to stops talking when he has nothing to say. Where is Ramiz, btw?

 

[SangasCoverDrive]

I doubt it.

Anderson
Broad
Woakes
Archer
Wood
Stone
Robinson (if he returns from the ban)


Very tough for him to break in even into the squad.

Stone is injured.

 

[jattafridi]

Saqib good bowling

 

[SangasCoverDrive]

DK talking about India vs SL series, just tells you how bad Pakistan is doing

 

[Abdurmirr]

Just listening to commentary and was reminded that India is sending their A team to SL and Australia is sending their A team to WI.

And what are we doing today? Losing to England D

 

[Ahmed216]

Play out the pacers and look for singles.

Play out all 50 overs to get a decent 220 on the board.

And hope for some luck with the ball.

Expecting too much from brainless fellows

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Waiting for the same loser talk from Misbah after the match is over

 

[Shafi]

Waiting for the same loser talk from Misbah after the match is over

Misbah's job is secure. So he can get away with anything.

 

[SangasCoverDrive]

 

[Rana]

Waiting for the same loser talk from Misbah after the match is over

"We played to our strengths and backed our boiz"

something along those lines

 

[Kroll]

Waiting for the same loser talk from Misbah after the match is over

We are a young team, we are still "learning" blah blah

 

[SangasCoverDrive]

A lot of talented players lost their contracts with departmental teams after PM IK changed the structure of domestic and the best players in the new "competitive and high quality" system are not good enough against England Z and SA D.

 

[Shafi]

At least Micky's team can win against this Eng D side.

 

[Rana]

That run out was pivotal

Pakistan had done well to recover with a 50 run partnership

 

[Mesozoic]

Stone is injured.

Ashes is in November.

 

[Rana]

At least Micky's team can win against this Eng D side.

They could score 350 against their A side

 

[RexRex]

132-8 ! This is not the Pakistan cricket that I grew up watching.

 

[Rana]

132-8 ! This is not the Pakistan cricket that I grew up watching.

This is exactly the Pakistan cricket I grew up watching. 99 world cup final score

 

[Ahmed216]

Watching Shadab bat is painful

 

[Rana]

Get set

Get out

Story of the day

 

[marlonbrowndo]

132-8 ! This is not the Pakistan cricket that I grew up watching.

Older Pakistani fans are always lost in their nostalgia and like to imagine scenarios. This has always been a regular occurrence for Pakistan despite having way more skilled players than the ones we currently have. People love to overrate our past sides.

 

[PakistanMeriJaan]

Whata joke

 

[Rafa]

England hasn't even been challenged. Losing is fine but without giving a fight is so demoralizing.

 

[angrypathan]

132-8 ! This is not the Pakistan cricket that I grew up watching.

I can't imagine a single time period in Pakistan cricket where such a score would be out of the ordinary. When did you grow up?

 

[Kroll]

Beyond embarrassing.

 

[SangasCoverDrive]

Shadab the glorified tailender was probably looking to get a 50.

 

[RexRex]

This is exactly the Pakistan cricket I grew up watching. 99 world cup final score

Salim Malik and Ijaz Ahmed would've got them to to 250.

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Maybe SriLanka were not that bad after all :

 

[Rafa]

Crowd should be given a refund.

 

[ask_analyse_act]

That was like gully mohalla dismissal getting out on a slow ball bouncer lol...
