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

[world cup captain]

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

You didn't reply to my comment but continued to bash Amir. Come again.

 

[imshally81]

Good bowling by imad

 

[Justcrazy]

Poms showing how to bat in OD .

 

[BabarAkmal_Fan]

Sharjeel is so slow

 

[Adil_94]

England are in cruise control and are still far ahead of us

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Rubbish bowling and rubbish batting reason for pak losing this match

 

[Justcrazy]

Roy is killing the target here

 

[Itachi]

Pakistan is really mediocre in odis. I wanted to think differently but no.... You guys haven't improved since 90s.

 

[itsme]

England batsmen are making this looks so easy but they bat well because they just done theirs primary job and don't field during the opponent inning.
How do you want ours batsmens to play like this when you are making them to field,they can't do theirs primary job cause of that

 

[Square Drive]

Sarfraz should write an apology letter after the game.

Every fielder who drops a catch should be made to pay a jurmana.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Match will be ovee in next 10 overa

 

[Justcrazy]

Rubbish bowling and rubbish batting reason for pak losing this match

Batting is to be blamed.

You need 300 plus on these pitches.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Sarfraz and Gul deserve slaps after eqch run Roy scores. Hes too dangerous to drop

 

[Square Drive]

Nawaz kya chai peenay aya hai?

 

[BabarAkmal_Fan]

lol if we were chasing 260 we'd be 45-3 at this stage

 

[fasihulhaq94]

Nawaz kya chai peenay aya hai?

) absolutely loving the comments right now

 

[gani999]

So looking ahead, what changes must Pakistan make for the next ODI?

 

[QalandarFan]

Can't take anymore of this England Phaintay, I'm out!

 

[Markhor]

Pakistan sleepwalking to defeat.

 

[Abdul]

You didn't reply to my comment but continued to bash Amir. Come again.

If players are to be kicked out for their fielding then they shall also be kicked out for being shameless individuals who sold the country

Kyun bhai afsos nahi ho raha??

 

[Markhor]

Heads have dropped since Sarfraz/Gul's moment of madness.

Fielders very quiet, bowlers looking devoid of ideas.

 

[mz123]

wahab is giving everything ....

 

[Itachi]

So looking ahead, what changes must Pakistan make for the next ODI?

Import b grade batsman from across the border.

 

[asyed]

Better over...

 

[fasihulhaq94]

Kyun bhai afsos nahi ho raha??

was already expecting the phainta! enjoy the ride my friend

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Batting is to be blamed.

You need 300 plus on these pitches.

I said it when we were batting and The Great Khan was singing praises of Azhar Ali and his 60% strike rate. Sorry but only Pakistan still aim to get 270 then end up falling short of even that.

 

[Justcrazy]

Poms batting is too deep for any fear.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Imad should be nicknamed cow. Whenever I see him hes being milked

 

[asyed]

Good ball.

270 ? 300 is not enough , you need to target 320 these days.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Nice one

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

It's like watching associate vs full member.

Anything less then 300 is no contest.

 

[Markhor]

I think Sky had a stat showing our bowling attack has taken one of the lowest percentage of wickets compared to other teams in PP 1.

For all this talk of bowling being our strength, in ODIs its been insipid in recent years.

 

[gani999]

Import b grade batsman from across the border.

Let us keep it serious.

Should Yasir be brought back for the next ODI?

 

[itsme]

Root strugling a little against the sla,in the second match england team will know they are just darter and ball always come in.

 

[world cup captain]

If players are to be kicked out for their fielding then they shall also be kicked out for being shameless individuals who sold the country

Sure go ahead. If that's the law then it should be followed though upon. No exceptions.

 

[JibranAnsari]

That's how a number 9 team bat, bowl and field.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Fielding is a reason too. Its the most important in pp1 with all of them close in. Pressure in those first 10 brings wickets

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

Completely dominated. If Pakistan are smashed in this series then goodbye Azhar captaincy.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Keeper cant catch

 

[Sherlock]

England ahead on all bases, and Pakistan need wickets so what does our captain do? he has the field spread hoping the batsman makes the mistake

Such a horrible mindset, and a mindset that will forever overshadow the teams progress.

 

[Mr Consistent]

50 for roy well played

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Joker Azhar and his crying Fans should see Roy and check how an opener scores a fifty in ODI's

 

[The intelligent Supporter]

Completely dominated. If Pakistan are smashed in this series then goodbye Azhar captaincy.

Nah he can speak English, and is "well mannered" and polite not to mention a pathetic defensive mindset so hes gonna be leading this team fo sure

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

Such a horrible mindset, and a mindset that will forever overshadow the teams progress.

He's not a leader. Like Sarfraz, just a sidekick.

 

[gunner]

Wasim and waqar ke time itnay catches bhi drop nahi hotay thei and nobody would deliberately drop a catch of the same bowler in almost every match

 

[itsme]

Hassan swing both side he should have played,if you are going to lose anyway at least try the new guys.

 

[Justcrazy]

91 / 1

15 overs

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Get Nawaz on. Lets see his beauties too

 

[Justcrazy]

Hassan swing both side he should have played,if you are going to lose anyway at least try the new guys.

That is the point.

No one expects Pakistan to win this , why not play youngsters.

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

Hassan swing both side he should have played,if you are going to lose anyway at least try the new guys.

Sohail Khan should have played.

Gul is no good, he was finished after semi final WC 2011 when he got taken apart. HE IS FINISHED SO MOVE ON.

 

[world cup captain]

PCB needs to implement a fine on dropped catches. Only then we will see urgency to improve catching.

 

[itsme]

Enough of these bits and piece play proper bowler even hassan and asghar can bat like nawaz and imad

 

[itsme]

Sohail Khan should have played.

Gul is no good, he was finished after semi final WC 2011 when he got taken apart. HE IS FINISHED SO MOVE ON.

Who cares if he bowls good or bad he is fit,FIIIIITTTTT

 

[daytrader]

PCB needs to implement a fine on dropped catches. Only then we will see urgency to improve catching.

Nobody would attempt to catch then

 

[GreenKnightRises]

If you can't score with atleast 90 SR in such phatta pitches, you don't deserve to be in the team

 

[world cup captain]

Nobody would attempt to catch then

Didn't think of that.

 

[itsme]

People hype umar as the next tendulkar if you have proper expectations he is still a lot better than almost all theses guys.

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

Azhar Ali captaincy - boring, uninspiring, defensive, loserish.

Who will be our next captain?

 

[cricketpatzer]

Such an experienced cricketer couldnt call for a catch

Gul deferred to Sarfraz, which is the right thing to do as the keeper has the gloves.

 

[daytrader]

Longoff needs to move in closer, too many easy singles

 

[castortroy]

This really is a poor poor Pak one day team.

Has been for years

 

[itsme]

Gul deferred to Sarfraz, which is the right thing to do as the keeper has the gloves.

Running backward

 

[Abdullah]

Can we have a slip please

 

[world cup captain]

Azhar Ali captaincy - boring, uninspiring, defensive, loserish.

Who will be our next captain?

I will take a big risk and go for Wahab. No other choice really.

 

[ExplicitAI]

Came back from a break and my god we are WACK

 

[castortroy]

This pitch is so flat

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

The sad thing is that even 310 wouldn't have been enough. I really hope Azhar/Mickey change their batting strategy from the next match on.

 

[Pete Rose]

I think Pakistani batsmen have much to think about: add to it the contrast between how they played Root the part timer vs how these guys are playing our spinners.

 

[daytrader]

Azhar Ali captaincy - boring, uninspiring, defensive, loserish.

Who will be our next captain?

Why's the captain the only one to blame? Where is Mickey's expertise

 

[castortroy]

320 pitch

Pak still play one day cricket as if we are still in the 90s

 

[Silverlion]

What are we watching? Azhar ali is a pre-75 club captain. Gul is the most worthless bowler, amir now does even care.The rest of the team is stupid.

 

[Justcrazy]

England require another 154 runs with 9 wickets and 33.0 overs remaining

 

[Mr Consistent]

wow what a shot

 

[world cup captain]

Why's the captain the only one to blame? Where is Mickey's expertise

Why not have Mickey come on the field and have him set the field? Or even better, have him type up a plan and hand it to Azhar before the game.

 

[Justcrazy]

warned his best is still to come , if this is his best , what is his worst

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

The sad thing is that even 310 wouldn't have been enough. I really hope Azhar/Mickey change their batting strategy from the next match on.

Its not the strategy its the players.

Only Babar Azam and Sharjeel know how to bat the modern way.

 

[Justcrazy]

Why's the captain the only one to blame? Where is Mickey's expertise

The captain has to take decisions on the field. It is his job.

This is not soccer , its cricket

 

[Pete Rose]

The one big positive is that umar gul is playing as I had hoped
