England v Pakistan | 1st ODI | Southampton | Aug 24, 2016 | England Innings

[marlonbrowndo]

Such an experienced cricketer couldnt call for a catch

 

[world cup captain]

Seems like it's time to give up on our limited over cricket.

 

[Rana]

Gul needs to get the square leg batsman as close as he can to the umpire. He is bowling well and England keep picking easy runs through there

 

[Cricketfan no 1]

When the ball was in the air I knew this catch from Amir's bowling was going to get dropped. It has been the story of Amir's comeback.

Amir will only get LBW's or bowled's on this tour.

Absolutely same feeling
Was not even frustrated when then catch was dropped

 

[London_Lahori]

Yet people will say Amir hasn't performed as well as he should have.

We've dropped 7/8 catches just off his bowing.

 

[imshally81]

Gul bowling is above average with the some good deliveries

 

[Strike Rate]

Someone should calculate how many catches are dropped on Amir deliveries during this tour so far....i am pretty the number will be in double digit.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

What was Sarfraz thinking too

 

[The intelligent Supporter]

"Roy reminding me of Sehwag in 2011 WC semi final decimating Gul!!!" from cric info

 

[asyed]

Drop catches like this makes a bit dent on team moral and momentum. And on contrary, your opposition will start attacking you even more.

 

[Adijazz1706]

Amir should drop himself, they have dropped more catches than they have caught off him.

 

[Rana]

I think Gul did the right thing by letting Sarfaraz attempt that.

When the ball skies up like that, most keepers are h*ll bent on taking it before anyone else, Gul would not have been able to stop him

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Our fielders are such chokers

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Ironically it has been Azhar or Hafeez.


But I do not think that these guys would do things like these intentionally. Especially Azhar, Sarfraz need to win being leaders.

 

[Lefthanded]

holding has implied during the tests that amir's team-mates don't want to take his catches.

i didn't really believe him but now i'm wondering about it.

maybe gul was aloof and sarfraz's reflexive call just tamed him, but i'm having a hard time believing that there aren't people in the team who want amir to fail.

this reminds me of the 90s team, and it really needs to stop.

 

[Square Drive]

Gul back to bowling tripe.

 

[ExplicitAI]

depressing

 

[asyed]

This Roy is going to finish this game in no time. We need this big defeat to open our eyes. Hope it will be over before 40th over.

 

[Rana]

England batting schooling Pakistan

 

[Strike Rate]

A tweet:

Ever since his return the most frustrating thing for Aamir must have been the Pakistan fielders.

 

[The intelligent Supporter]

Gul bowling is above average with the some good deliveries

Yeah with an economy of 9..such above average bowling

 

[Sadevdesai]

4

 

[castortroy]

Looks like a 5-0 job this

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

Guls bowling sickens me.

 

[Surf]

Great catching by Sarfraz he literally dropped the match!!!!!!

Well Done

 

[Sadevdesai]

Another

 

[castortroy]

English batting so much more aggressive than ours.

 

[The intelligent Supporter]

I miss Junaid and Irfan and Rahat

 

[QalandarFan]

Feel for Amir, think that's the 7th catch dropped of his bowling! Why Sarfraz, why did you have to try and be a hero should of let Gul take the catch.

 

[ExplicitAI]

Tripe bowling, we deserve to play qualifiers for the WC

 

[pak4life]

England putting away the good balls away for four while we politely strike to the fielder.

 

[Square Drive]

Wahab needs to come on and target Roy's head here.

 

[ExplicitAI]

I don't want to believe that. Anyone that tends to drop catches usually have a higher risk of not being selected again in the future.

 

[Fahdi]

Pakistan to lose this within 40 overs is my guess.

1 in 10 chance of winning this.

You need Wasim, McGrath and Starc if you aim to defend 260 on a 320 pitch.

 

[Pete Rose]

Wahab in attack, game will go faster one way or the other.

 

[Abdul]

Maybe the fielders just aren't good enough

Stop trying to make it sound like a conspiracy against the world's best bowler

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Gul is a finished cricketer dont understand why he has been brought back

 

[ExplicitAI]

Disappointed to hear so many people on Pakpassion go against Sohail Khan who is literally one of the best fast bowlers in the country, he's a lot better than everyone in our bowling squad.

 

[rooster]

I think Amir would have had as many dropped caches in his short career as someone like Allan Donald in his entire career.

lol. There's hardy a match without Pakistan fielders dropping a catch.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

More boring talk about that Watson spell followed by a filthy ball down leg side

 

[ExplicitAI]

leg byes

 

[world cup captain]

Maybe the fielders just aren't good enough

Stop trying to make it sound like a conspiracy against the world's best bowler

Hence the reason why those fielders must be dropped.

 

[castortroy]

Against England batting line you need minimum 300

 

[Pete Rose]

I think all Pakistani pacers will get hit for two boundaries in their first over, second over, third over...

 

[ExplicitAI]

Wahab concedes the most runs compared to any other bowler

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Sarfraz and Gul chokers

 

[itsme]

Azhar protecting his seniors way to go

 

[Abdul]

Hence the reason why those fielders must be dropped.

If they are doing their primary job well (batting/bowling) then they shall stay in the team

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Good ball

 

[ExplicitAI]

That's how you rotate the strike, no dot balls or anything there mate

 

[QalandarFan]

This match is gone! Sarfraz dropped our last hope of winning!

 

[Boi]

Imad to get a fifer

 

[itsme]

Said that many time before pakistan players are chicken they are not even going to try to catch the ball because they fear to drop it even in the slip they make sure it fell short,there are very few exceptions.

 

[fasihulhaq94]

bring rizwan in just as a specialist fielder

 

[ExplicitAI]

I'm expecting an arm ball from Imad to castle one of the batsmen

 

[world cup captain]

If they are doing their primary job well (batting/bowling) then they shall stay in the team

Nope. They get paid to play the complete game, not just their "part" with the bat or the ball. This is why we are 9th with a mentality of I did my part with the bat or ball so I can drop a catch and expect no consequence. We need players that are eager to improve all aspects of the game.

 

[Mr Consistent]

66-1 after 10 overs

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Imad and Nawaz have to make up for that pathetic lower order batting

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Need 3 wkts

 

[ExplicitAI]

We're one of the worst ODI sides in the world

 

[Square Drive]

Every run Roy scores here is a travesty.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Only way fr pak to win is to bowl eng out

 

[ExplicitAI]

That should've been a wide in my opinion

 

[imshally81]

Need some close fielders on leg side please

 

[QalandarFan]

Tight bowling from Imad!

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Were such an awful fielding side. Even our good fielders cant put pressure

 

[Abdul]

Nope. They get paid to play the complete game, not just their "part" with the bat or the ball. This is why we are 9th with a mentality of I did my part with the bat or ball so I can drop a catch and expect no consequence. We need players that are eager to improve all aspects of the game.

Wasim & Waqar always had catches dropped off their bowling but they still picked up wickets

I don't see a reason why Amir can't? After all, he is the next big thing and a messiah in our team

 

[Square Drive]

Rashid is a true Pakistani.

Bechara seems to be bothered by this show from the Pakistan side.

 

[saeed5646]

azhar ali please for GOd sake put fielder on leg side close to umpire for roy



easy easy single available

 

[Thivagar]

LOL at that guy with that sign saying "catches win matches plz"

 

[BabarAkmal_Fan]

Wahab bowling 90 miles

 

[Adil_94]

need 2-3 wickets here

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Look how they score off every delivery. Our batsmen do this in the death overs....

 

[Pete Rose]

Not sure what line Wahab is bowling.

 

[world cup captain]

We're one of the worst ODI sides in the world

No doubt about it. We as a nation accept mediocrity and are content with it in all aspects of life. Look no further than the conditions of human necessities in the country.

 

[daytrader]

We're still in it.Two wickets here and we can enforce a collapse

 

[Square Drive]

At least keep the RR below 6.

Nawaz & Imad should bowl the next 18 overs in tandem.

 

[asyed]

Both are playing Wahab with so much ease.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Wasim & Waqar always had catches dropped off their bowling but they still picked up wickets

I don't see a reason why Amir can't? After all, he is the next big thing and a messiah in our team

He is the best we have and a crazy number of catches are being dropped off his bowling

 

[marlonbrowndo]

7 off the over with no boundary. We wouldve played 5 dots and hit a 4 and been happy
