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

[dauntless]

Wow such wonderful shots these

 

[itsme]

Great shot ,just a push

 

[Amjid Javed]

Another glorious shot for 4

 

[Watsupdoc]

Some amazing shots being played by Roy here!

 

[hadi123]

Jason roy has won it already

 

[#GreenRoars]

 

[ExplicitAI]

Azhar is a pathetic captain

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Such beautiful timing haha. Tells you what kind of a surface this is too

 

[dauntless]

Another one this one is even better

 

[iRfaN_LA]

260 is going to be a walk in the park.

 

[S_haq]

this is going to be over quickly

 

[Pete Rose]

England a little ahead of Ireland , Gul realizing

 

[Adil_94]

england batsman arent even slogging it yet are batting at 7 an over while in 1st gear. need wickets or this will be over by the 40th over.

 

[Executioner]

Not poor deliveries, just amazing shots from Roy

 

[MMHS]

Gul is confusing Roy here - he is not sure weather to hit him through leg or off, or on front or back foot.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Some absolute beauties from Roy.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Memories of Mohali for

 

[Adijazz1706]

Go to sleep guys, this could get ugly.

 

[Pete Rose]

So far Imad wasim has bowled the best over

 

[ExplicitAI]

Sohail Khan is one of the best fast bowlers in our country at the moment. How on earth did Gul get preferred over him? )

 

[Haroon786]

Game will be over rif they continue batting for another 5-10 overs.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Man no wonder Pakistani selectors can never do a good job, so far 15 ppl have given 15 opinions that are going against each other.

 

[ExplicitAI]

We have no power hitters that could replace Afridi, lower order is too weak and Azhar plays too cautiously

 

[Adijazz1706]

Could we steal England's bats, and maybe some of the timing skills too!

 

[Haroon786]

Sohail Khan would get smoked for 20 runs an over on this pitch.

 

[Belawal2014]

Amir trundling.

 

[Third_Umpire]

Gul is well past it. No pace or swing. He bowls line and length, but in today's game batsmen are well adept at hitting balls of length. We need to move on from him.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Alright time to do something useful, this game will be over in 25 overs at this rate.

 

[castortroy]

Just look at the two batting line ups lol

 

[Square Drive]

Amir looks full of swag.

Just needs a wicket now.

 

[Boi]

What's this back of a length rubbish

 

[Pete Rose]

Azhar needs to spank his bowlers. All these polite inquiries are not going to make an impact.

 

[MMHS]

Not poor deliveries, just amazing shots from Roy

I would have taken that, had it been 3 cover drives or squire cuts. A pull through squire leg on back foot, followed by a flick through mid wicket walking down, then a vertical bat drive through covers, on back foot - this is as rubbish as it can be.

 

[fazleefridi]

Gul 2.0 trailer has been thrilling...things to come up in this series..haha

 

[Cricketfan no 1]

Wasim needs to get to the boundary and coach Amir a bit

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Just look at how theyre timing it

 

[Adil_94]

we should have had Sohail khan in this team. he would have swung the new ball.

 

[Square Drive]

Amir trundling.

Wouldn't call 89 mph as trundling...

 

[Pete Rose]

Hales doesn't impress me at all. Although he won't be tested today

 

[ExplicitAI]

Fielding is wack

 

[blue_champion]

Pakistan or any team for that matter don't need a Sharjeel...they need someone like Roy...who has tremendous shot selections...Roy is probably a flat track bully and just a better version of a hack which is he is not a one-dimensional hack like Sharjeel

 

[Justcrazy]

England will win this in 40 overs.

 

[Pete Rose]

Neither does Roy

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Why was Gul selected again?

 

[QalandarFan]

No Swing so far.

 

[Sherlock]

Game will be over in the 35th over I think

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Pakistan or any team for that matter don't need a Sharjeel...they need someone like Roy...who has tremendous shot selections...Roy is probably a flat track bully and just a better version of a hack which is he is not a one-dimensional hack like Sharjeel

And where do we find a Roy?

 

[#GreenRoars]

Hope this is last series of Gul's career.

 

[Pete Rose]

We have gotten Roy shook up. It was too easy for him.

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

Gul useless as ever. Why do they keep selecting this dud.

 

[hadi123]

This will be a repeat of the ODI at edgbaston between England and Sri Lanka. We will lose by 10 wickets I think

 

[ExplicitAI]

This is beyond pathetic, we did not look threatening once in this match.

 

[Pete Rose]

Why was Gul selected again?

Because he, like Hafeez, claimed he is fit and raring to go and deserves his spot.

 

[Sadevdesai]

Too soon ti write us off ..... yet !!!

 

[Sherlock]

Pakistan or any team for that matter don't need a Sharjeel...they need someone like Roy...who has tremendous shot selections...Roy is probably a flat track bully and just a better version of a hack which is he is not a one-dimensional hack like Sharjeel

Not everyone can have a SA native play for their side

 

[blue_champion]

And where do we find a Roy?

You could have tried to open with Umar Akmal or even Shehzad showed good promise but we know how they turned up......don't you have batsman in similar mould who can be groomed and avoid the same mistakes that was made with them? why is it one extreme or the other?

 

[Sherlock]

And where do we find a Roy?

Durban, Natal.

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Some things like U. Gul will never change. He keeps bowling short ... oh God.

 

[Pete Rose]

England wasting time as they realize it's a tough game. Playing for bad light.

 

[Square Drive]

Hope our boys have a nice huddle here.

 

[Cricket World]

Ha Ha Ha TTFs at work and whole world is watching with keen interest

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Lets hope he goes off

 

[ExplicitAI]

My guy got a headache you know

 

[itsme]

Roy trying to escape from amir

 

[JibranAnsari]

Same old gul , awful.

 

[ethan hunt]

This is a beautiful surface against the new ball .
Azhar played an absolute horrid innings.

 

[Square Drive]

Look at the positives: first slow-over rate fine coming up for Azhar!

 

[Belawal2014]

My guy got a headache you know

He was hitting so many 4s it literally gave him a headache )

 

[Pete Rose]

It would be nice to finish Eoin Morgan's odi career as we did his test career. But for that we need to dismiss three batsmen quickly

 

[Executioner]

I would have taken that, had it been 3 cover drives or squire cuts. A pull through squire leg on back foot, followed by a flick through mid wicket walking down, then a vertical bat drive through covers, on back foot - this is as rubbish as it can be.

There are always areas to criticize but in the first few overs bowlers need a few deliveries to get their line right.

Notice how Amir's 2nd over was so much better.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Crap hes staying

 

[ExplicitAI]

What a waste of time

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

Why wasn't Sohail Khan selected?

 

[Watsupdoc]

Roy struggling and still playing beautifully

 

[Sherlock]

Goes to show how poor Pakistan batted when the sun was shining and the pitch being dry

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Gul cant release all the pressure from the other end

 

[FreakCricket]

What on earth these pansy players doing? Get on with the gameeeee

 

[blue_champion]

Not everyone can have a SA native play for their side

Now that is an argument I have no comeback for

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Just listen to the sound off that bat....

 

[Pete Rose]

How long has Umar gul been playing international cricket.
