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

[#GreenRoars]

Pakistan 260/6

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Spinners need to step up. Pitch is gripping a bit

 

[Caved12]

Amir or Gul have to bowl very well in order to have any chances of winning this game. We are easily 50 runs short here. Let's see. Never lose hope.

 

[MMHS]

Just about 25-35 short, I guess.

In this PAK line up, there are 5 players, of whom at best 2 should play; most team might not even play one.

Azhar, Malik, Sarfu, MoHa & Nawaz are absolute similar player without any capacity of sudden acceleration (key is acceleration - every Tom, Dick & Harry can score second 35 for 38 balls, if it takes 58 for the 1st 35, which would look nice "build up" - won't work this days).

Sharjeel, Babar, Umar, MoHa/Malik (Not both), Haris (Now Haris is not there so, have to play both Malik-MoHa), Sarfu/Rizwan & then combination for last 5, depending on wicket/opponents - otherwise, it'll be really difficult to come out of 9th.

The thing that helped PAK to reach No. 1 actually will work nicely against in ODI. Today SRL has beaten AUS, one more win in next 3, they'll be on 100+ points; if BD-ENG series goes on, I back at least 1 win for us, then one more in NZ - we are over 100, then the . WI has beaten SAF/AUS, if they manage 1 win in UAE, basically PAK is stuck at No. 9 for 2/3 years.

MUST CHANGE THE ODI TEAM FROM SCRATCH. Only 3/4/5 players deserves to be there.

 

[QalandarFan]

Average total since 2012 at this ground is 312!

 

[QalandarFan]

England Last ODI win at this ground was in 2012 VS WI Since then they have lost 5 matches!

 

[Sherazkhalid]

What time the innings start?

Pakistan's average opening stand in ODIs since October 2015 - lowest among all teams. They have had just one 50+ stand in 11 innings in this period.

 

[QalandarFan]

What time the innings start?

It was suppose to resume at 18:15 Local time which is in 5 minutes, but it rained so not sure now.

 

[Pete Rose]

It's not just the average but also the strike rate

 

[WhenSultansBowled]

England's game to lose this.

They should chase it easily. Unless one of goes berserk

 

[itsme]

Spinners need to step up. Pitch is gripping a bit

Where do you see a spinner?

 

[Mainul]

Let's see how Gul and Wahab perform. They seems to be as the weaker links in Pak bowling line up.

 

[itsme]

When it's going to resume?

 

[itsme]

Wahab go for plenty often and gul stock ball is the half volleys hope he is better now if not it's going to be a massacre.

 

[Mainul]

Yasir should have been in the playing 11. Too many bits and pieces cricketers....Malik, Newaz, Imad.You need a specialist spinner.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Yasir is a rubbish ODI bowler. Usama, Zafar or Asghar shouldve been selected.

 

[Mainul]

England's game to lose this.

Yes. Pakistan's bowlers need to bowl special.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Where do you see a spinner?

True

 

[Mainul]

Yasir is a rubbish ODI bowler. Usama, Zafar or Asghar shouldve been selected.

Too little sample to judge Yasir in ODIS.

 

[itsme]

Yasir is a rubbish ODI bowler. Usama, Zafar or Asghar shouldve been selected.

Especially when you see the batting of theses allrounders

 

[ethan hunt]

Too little sample to judge Yasir in ODIS.

Not at all .
Yasir has been playing domestic limited overs for a while now .
He isnt that good. There are better limited over spinners.

 

[QalandarFan]

Last 10 Overs of Pakistan's Innings - 61/2

 

[Pete Rose]

Part of me wants England to chase this in 40 overs.
All of me wants Gul to get smashed to bits.

 

[QalandarFan]

Come on Amir!

 

[Hasan123]

Hafeez is still in slips. An absolute joke. Mickey bhai get him moved from there.

 

[Adijazz1706]

Imad to bowl????

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Too little sample to judge Yasir in ODIS.

Only if youre blind

 

[Sherazkhalid]

someone got their wish, Imad starting.

 

[QalandarFan]

What's this Imad opening bowling?

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan may start with a spinner here

 

[#GreenRoars]

The field set by AA

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Roy can take this game away in 5 overs

 

[ExplicitAI]

Imad is opening the bowling )

 

[Square Drive]

Our boy Hafeez in the slips.

 

[Justcrazy]

What's this Imad opening bowling?

pakistan want to surprise Poms here .

 

[FreakCricket]

It's a good bowling pitch and we start with a spinner smh.

 

[Hasan123]

Azhar wants one end to keep it tight other to attack.

 

[Justcrazy]

No turn for Imad here .

 

[Cricketfan no 1]

Ma Sha Allah
Legendary stuff from legendary captain

 

[ExplicitAI]

Although Roy has had a good run recently, he's been out on low scores quite a few times so lets watch out for that.

 

[Adil_94]

cant afford too many looseners Amir.

 

[Justcrazy]

wickets will be key here for Pakistan.

 

[ExplicitAI]

Azhar's gone on the defensive, what a shame

 

[marlonbrowndo]

This is the difference between our batting end England

 

[Nikhil_cric]

The legacy of the Hafeez/Ajmal/Afridi tripening with spinners

 

[Justcrazy]

smacked away

 

[ExplicitAI]

 

[Mainul]

Not at all .
Yasir has been playing domestic limited overs for a while now .
He isnt that good. There are better limited over spinners.

Yasir is wonderful leggie and history say that leggies usually shine in ODIS. Let's try him for another 25 ODIS before reaching conclusions.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Roy is so dangerous..

 

[#GreenRoars]

 

[Justcrazy]

Amir has not been effective in this tour.

 

[Hasan123]

Wasim bhai please call amir and tell him about his wrist position

 

[Amjid Javed]

England openers showing azhar how to bat in pp overs

 

[Cricketfan no 1]

Thats how you play
For those are sayin that Azhar played a decend inning

 

[Belawal2014]

Boys, that's how you play LO cricket.

 

[hadi123]

can already tell we've lost this game. take a bow sharjeel khan you are england's man of the match

 

[Amjid Javed]

Poor over so far this from amir

 

[Justcrazy]

Amir is here

 

[QalandarFan]

Come on Amir!

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Ordinary stuff. Our batsmen wouldve left that or tried to pull it through midwicket

 

[dauntless]

This is how you play odis

 

[ExplicitAI]

Another this is poor

 

[Sherlock]

That's how you make the opposition captain go on the defensive. Then again Azhar Ali is hardly Clarke/McCullum

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Falls short....

 

[QalandarFan]

Edged didn't carry that's why Amir's so dangerous!

 

[mz123]

haha GUlllllllllllllllllllll!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[marlonbrowndo]

What was the point of the Imad experiment

 

[Amjid Javed]

Hopefully gul can bowl with some rhythm here

 

[QalandarFan]

Gul on!

 

[Amjid Javed]

Lovely shot for 4 by roy

 

[Belawal2014]

Bring in Hasan ali for the next game pls. And drop these bits and pieces all rounders.

 

[ExplicitAI]

PCB needs to understand that we need to play modern ODI cricket, hitting gaps consistently and looking for singles, stop playing dot balls all the time.

 

[QalandarFan]

Smashed for four!

 

[Square Drive]

Gul needs to fire a yorker in here.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Lol shot...

 

[Justcrazy]

Better to bowl spinners here.

 

[ExplicitAI]

Gul of old

 

[#GreenRoars]

Such a tape ball shot from Jason, it shows pitch is sweet for batting

 

[Amjid Javed]

Roy making things look Easy here another 4
