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

Both players trying to hit the ball to hard here rather then using placement
 
We need power hitters ASAP or we will never rise above the 9th ranking every team has power hitters but Pakistan none at all. I don't consider Sharjeel a proper power hitter he is a pure hack.
 
You get the feeling that everyone in the one day side is playing for his place. Azhar waited till his half century to open up. Sarfaraz gone after 50. No one has the courage to take the game forward. Too many personnel issues in this side.
I really think Hafeez and Malik will have to go.

Don't think Inzi has power to drop any of them unless any of them retire on willing or get injured which is highly unlikely
 
Pakistani players see the short ball and forget there is an offside as well
 
Clueless Imad. How is he categorized as an all rounder. We need some hard hitters in our limited over team. Umer Akmal with all his issues should be part of our limited overs time just because we don't have anyone better.
 
Nawaz deserves a promtion I think: either before sarfaraz or Malik
 
350 score pitch!!! England will win this match by 7 wickets with 8 -10 overs to spare. We seriously need to get some new power hitter proper batsmen
 
Really need someone like Afridi in these situations, the guy used to get us good totals back in 2013.
 
Bit too much theatrics of imad Wasim for my liking. Let me just put it out there that I don't like his face
 
Just look at the RR...hovering around 5.5..this is the problem... we don't have heavy weight lifters towards the end.
 
Unless Imad or Nawaz just somehow bamboozle England with spin, this will be chased down within 35 overs
 
We will probably end up with at least 50 run short. Lack of big hitters in our lower order and too many slow hitters at the top end is the reason for this.
 
Where are all those upcoming sloggers who were inspired by Afridi? These guys can't even clear the inner circle and we thought only single pasli fawaz alam can't do it :facepalm:
 
These are deep rooted problems. They will take long to fix. But it's good that Mickey sees it in this match
 
In ODIs our batsmen can't take singles and rotate strike ok fine but they can't even slog? All those beautiful strokes endup in the hands of fielder they can't even place the ball in gaps.
 
260 :)) :))

:14: What an effort boys - Clearly head and tails above World cricket right now :14:

That was all a myth, now we realize the value of Afridi and Razzaq, the batting line-up has been Misbah-i-fied with too many accumulators.
 
So, with 8 balls left & 4 wickets in hand & PAK is at least 20 (my hunch is 35, it was a 300 par) short. All this is because Babar got out for 40, Malik didn't slog at 6, Sarfu didn't play till end, Sharjeel didn't repeat his Ireland match & Nawaz/Imad can't be Afridi.

Only 1 player played great - Captain Azhar, scored brilliant 80 at a decent SR of 75. In England, wickets are green, balls swing there - you need your opener to reach 50 at 60 SR & hold on to one side, so that later players cann add 100 in last 10 (PAK did reach 200 at 40 overs, so Azhar accomplished his job proficiently). MoHa was a bit unlucky tried to dominate from No. 3; just like Root, Virat, Smith, Will does from No. 3 for their team (now Kaushal & Sabbir is trying also).

Now it's bowlers job to win it.
 
Our only hope is if aAmir wrecks their top order. Even then they bat so deep that if England don't chase this they'll be disappointed.
