Ehsan bowler better than Sohail.

Sohail got tonked around with the new ball.

I like this line up, just go with Ehsan instead of Sohail.

Adil had a fine day today and he can bat.

 

[Strike Rate]

played three games against joe blogs xi like pakistan did and won each one comfortably

not a good news for pak and india this zimbo side look well prepared for these conditions

 

[Sam18696]

Good keep rotating the strike

 

[Mamoon]

Umar can either open or bat at 6. People need to get their heads out of cardboard boxes.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

i hope pak an take this form into the world cup

 

[NZcricketfan]

not a good news for pak and india this zimbo side look well prepared for these conditions

One of the games they scored 271 for 2 off 40 overs

 

[Pete Rose]

Not really, I know he's not the smartest of batsmen, but he's one of the few who can cope with top class bowling and score fast runs against it. Pakistan just doesn't have any quality alternatives. I'm pretty sure the opposition would prefer him to be left out in the world cup.

Revisionist history.
He has earned everything that has happened to him in this world cup

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

the top 3 or 4 batsmen are still a little worry for pak

 

[waleed88]

French cut by Maqsood

 

[Sam18696]

 

[Mamoon]

Needed this lucky break.

 

[uberkoen]

Anderson Back. Time to take him to cleaners

Why? Is he dirty?

 

[GreenKnightRises]

A good new ball Bowler, but poor death bowler

 

[yasir]

He keeps it tight, which is enough for our cross-bat sloggers.

He does reverse the ball in Tests, but there isn't much reverse on offer in ODIs these days due to the 2 new balls rule.

You need pace to beat the bat, he is lacking that. He is no Styen!!

 

[adnan yasin]

: four

25 of 24 now needed

 

[Ottoman]

I like this line up, just go with Ehsan instead of Sohail.

Adil had a fine day today and he can bat.

But I don't think so, he can bowl at death bowler & I won't bowl Irfan at death.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

pak should play yasir shah against india

 

[adnan yasin]

25 of 24 needed

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Why? Is he dirty?

Whats your problem Engaleesh guru

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Revisionist history.
He has earned everything that has happened to him in this world cup

Who would you play instead then?

 

[Mamoon]

You need pace to beat the bat, he is lacking that. He is no Styen!!

I have always felt that the only thing Steyn has over him is pace. Otherwise both are equally skilled, in fact, Steyn struggles to swing the new ball both ways.

 

[Ikball]

Good to see pak winning this

 

[uberkoen]

pak should play yasir shah against india

On concrete? There will be no support for spinners on that pitch.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

This guy was kept hiding this long under the bench for Selfless Khan. Thank you

 

[Strike!]

Really love the positivity of Maqsood's batting.

 

[Sam18696]

whatta shot by kaptaan

 

[EngrOmair]

View attachment 54061

A good new ball Bowler, but poor death bowler

same goes for , of course he isn't the quality of Jamie

 

[Ikball]

Good to see captain getting some form before tournment starts.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Needed this lucky break.

You sound despondent but really it's not a bad thing that your doom mongering has not played out today.

 

[uberkoen]

Whats your problem Engaleesh guru

Are you picking on me now that you can't pick on Misbah anymore?

 

[Strike Rate]

View attachment 54061

A good new ball Bowler, but poor death bowler

but he keep it tight like a certain bowler with all the tools

 

[Ottoman]

Why? Is he dirty?

No he was naughty, didn't give anything to hit in his 1st spell.

 

[Ikball]

same goes for , of course he isn't the quality of Jamie

Wahab Riaz > Andrson in ODIs

 

[Big Mac]

Are you picking on me now that you can't pick on Misbah anymore?

 

[yasir]

I have always felt that the only thing Steyn has over him is pace. Otherwise both are equally skilled, in fact, Steyn struggles to swing the new ball both ways.

That is quite right, because of pace Styen is the most complete fast bowler after Wasim and an ATG. In my books Jimmy is a swing bowler (a very good one) but not a fast bowler.

Pace is a very important skill, when you can swing and control at pace, thats a whole different category, most ATGs had pace but not all.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

I have always felt that the only thing Steyn has over him is pace. Otherwise both are equally skilled, in fact, Steyn struggles to swing the new ball both ways.

Not Struggle.!! Steyn never swings the ball into the right handers.

 

[Sam18696]

 

[Barragan]

But I don't think so, he can bowl at death bowler & I won't bowl Irfan at death.

Waqar just needs to work with both Ehsan and Irfan.

I'm sure they can develop their death bowling and be effective.

You could play Sohail in place of Yasir because Ind is very good at playing spin.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Wahab Riaz > Andrson in ODIs

Yeah right.

 

[Mamoon]

You sound despondent but really it's not a bad thing that your doom mongering has not played out today.

These are all false hopes, nothing more.

 

[yasir]

I have to go to office after all nighter in an hour and a half

I don't know how I am going to be up all day!!

 

[GreenKnightRises]

same goes for , of course he isn't the quality of Jamie

OH, No!!! Please....

 

[ritzy_123]

What a shot

 

[uberkoen]

Looks as though Misbah may not get that century.

Played for the team and not his personal achievements.

True legend.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

That was talent

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

These are all false hopes, nothing more.

Then you should appreciate the small wins even more. Cheer up.

 

[Pete Rose]

Who would you play instead then?

Whoever is the next best person. If you breed perpetual infants, you will never get adults.
He has done well here and hopefully will continue. But let's not try to build in a false narrative of being falsely treated in the past.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Misbah will be left stranded in the 90s again

 

[yasir]

Arthur's commentary is comedy... Aus Ka baas nahieen chaal raha ka whoo England Ke Jayaga bowling karay...

 

[imshally81]

 

[adnan yasin]

Game has been sealed

 

[razabbas]

Afridi Afridi Afridi

 

[Watsupdoc]

Good cameo from Maqsood, but should have stayed till the end.

 

[ritzy_123]

Good cameo from Maqsood, but should have stayed till the end.

I agree

 

[GreenKnightRises]

And here it goes again. We should expect Lala to finish the game.

But the sad thing is that Misbah would still have to strangle once again in his 90s

 

[Watsupdoc]

Looks as though Misbah may not get that century.

Played for the team and not his personal achievements.

True legend.

What personal achievement. The hundred wouldn't have even counted.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Whoever is the next best person. If you breed perpetual infants, you will never get adults.
He has done well here and hopefully will continue. But let's not try to build in a false narrative of being falsely treated in the past.

Who is that next best person? Let's have a proper answer this time so we can scrutinise the strengths of this solution.

 

[ritzy_123]

I like this line up, just go with Ehsan instead of Sohail.

Adil had a fine day today and he can bat.

Ehsan is a new ball bowler I personally feel Sohail will be good for us at the death..

 

[GreenKnightRises]

No feet movement there from Maqsood, hopefully he'll work on it,

 

[Suleiman]

Should've stayed till the end.

Should play this XI, swap YK for Sarfraz and Irfan for Sohail Khan.

 

[ushafi0]

Would misbahs century counted even tho its warm up??

 

[adnan yasin]

Can LALA finish the game with a six ??

 

[EngrOmair]

last Ball Finish tak na le ana Kaptaan Sab

 

[uberkoen]

Would misbahs century counted even tho its warm up??

He's not scoring one. So moot point

but no, it would not have counted.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Can LALA finish the game with a six ??

He could finish this game with singles if he uses his head.

 

[uberkoen]

He could finish this game with singles if he uses his head.

He uses his head but the wrong one.

 

[ads101]

Feel sorry, some people may have already written their theses on how Pakistan are pathetic and were predictably thrashed by England. They'll just be going in the bin or hastily retitled "We shouldn't be fooled by this performance". Even if the latter is true, makes for a last minute dissertation, only really worth a 3rd Class at best.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Tuk tuk from Afridi ?

 

[Big Mac]

Who is that next best person? Let's have a proper answer this time so we can scrutinise the strengths of this solution.

I'd have him in the team at #6 if he keeps.

 

[uberkoen]

That's it.

It's all over.

Another match winning performance from the legendary captain.

Wonderful knock.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

And we win....

Afridi seals it off...

Would be great if Misbah and Afridi seal off the World Cup Final Together

 

[GreenKnightRises]

ohh.. Yeah..!!! We won a warmup

But Misbah couldn't get his hundred even in the Warmup . Choo Shaad

 

[#GreenRoars]

Finally WON

 

[ahanank]

A fitting end!!!!!

 

[Arsal_AK]

Great win

 

[Sam18696]

Maybe the result would've been different if he didn't drop it lol
