England v Pakistan | 2nd ODI | Lord's | 10th July, 2021 | England innings (47 overs match)

[silentkiller187]

not looking forward to watching pakistan bat with just enough movement still in the pitch

 

[imshally81]

Good acting by Shaheen

 

[PakPremi]

Qadir should be playing ahead of him here.

Shadab with his batting and bowling gives more to the team. Usman Qadir also deserves to play but not an expense of Shadab. Shadab is no Stoke or Shakib in batting but is still a useful contributer like Gregory is doing now.

 

[silentkiller187]

need shadab or shakeel to bowl from one end

 

[jattafridi]

Imagine Pakistan ao under 100

 

[PakPremi]

the problem is england are so far ahead of the run rate even if these two plod along at 4/5 an over from here till the end they will get to 300 or there abouts without even taking a risk.

No chance

 

[Rafa]

What would be a safe score for Pakistan here ? I think Pakistan can chase anything around 230-240

 

[imshally81]

Can we chase 280 here?

 

[Greenstorm]

Shadab with his batting and bowling gives more to the team. Usman Qadir also deserves to play but not an expense of Shadab. Shadab is no Stoke or Shakib in batting but is still a useful contributer like Gregory is doing now.

Shadab adds nothing. 30+ avg with bowl and batting at 6 or below with strike rate of less than 80 is useless.

 

[IMMY69]

Maqsood makes me look like Speedy Gonzales and trust me I'm slow

 

[jattafridi]

Looks like 260 target

 

[Titan24]

Eng always has that extra cushion in the batting. Carse averages 25 in FC cricket

 

[imshally81]

200 up for England

 

[Rafa]

280 is not likely because only 3 wickets left. Take one wicket and game in Pakistans bag.

 

[PakPremi]

Shadab adds nothing. 30+ avg with bowl and batting at 6 or below with strike rate of less than 80 is useless.

So is Gregory batting useless to England cause now?

 

[Savak]

If Pak bowlers are getting the ball to move around, what will the English bowlers do?

 

[Greenstorm]

So is Gregory batting useless to England cause now?

There is a reason why Gregory is playing for England C. And believe me, his power hitting is better than Shadab's.

 

[sharmaji]

Haha that's true. That's why I love watching Pak play. You never know what will happen next. But Pak has done well so far after that last game. Needs to restrict Eng to less than 250, and get a good start in their second innings.

Pak rarely makes it straight forward even if they win, so there can be still some twists in store.

 

[imshally81]

Need 1 or 2 overs of spin here..

 

[Rafa]

10 overs remaining. If England survive full quota of overs then they will end up with a very good score.

 

[silentkiller187]

poor captaincy from babar get shadab or shakeel from one end

 

[jattafridi]

Poor bowling from Pakistan

 

[sindhiboy]

Lol waqar has walked out

 

[MRSN]

Having Rauf and Faheem is always a luxury...for the opposition. Lol

 

[MRSN]

Lol waqar has walked out

Hahaha that was epic. I mean even he can't take of filth Faheem bowls. What a pathetic player.

 

[imshally81]

Having Rauf and Faheem is always a luxury...for the opposition. Lol

Haha spot on...

 

[Greenstorm]

Even Saud is better option than Faheem here.

 

[jattafridi]

Faheem and Rauf making sure Pakistan don’t win

 

[Shafi]

To chase 210 should be more than enough for our batsmen Our batsmen cannot handle pressure.

 

[Mainul]

Pakistan did the mistake of this century by playing Asad shafiq instead of fawad alam. They are doing the same kind of mistake in ODI side also. Shadab khan in place of Usman qadir.

 

[Cric_lover4487]

Is Pakistan letting the game drift away? Pak should have bowled them out <200

 

[silentkiller187]

england probably think they have enough runs on the board already now

 

[Greenstorm]

England is looking at 300 here.

 

[MRSN]

Eng back in the game. All thanks to free loaders we have.

 

[silentkiller187]

sarfraz on

 

[Darkrai]

Good batting by these guys.

 

[jattafridi]

Omg still 9 overs to go

60 more runs

 

[Darkrai]

Hopefully, they score 300.

 

[Mainul]

Pakistan should prove that they are a better side than we think of

 

[PakPremi]

There is a reason why Gregory is playing for England C. And believe me, his power hitting is better than Shadab's.

The reason is that England have wealth of talent in limited over cricket, all power hitting is not all that you need as Gregory is showing to build a total,albeit thanks to some very ordinary bowling by Pakistan. Pakistan do not have enough batting depth to replace Shadab with Usman.

 

[silentkiller187]

poor captaincy from babar should have got a spinner on made england hit out when the pressure was on instead he goes defensive at the wrong time let england settle.

 

[imshally81]

Harris & Rauf both are useless in bowling friendly conditions..

 

[imshally81]

Love this voice

Sarfaraz

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Imagine Pakistan ao under 100

Think we can get about 150 or thereabouts.

 

[Afhan Ali]

Thanks God
We will suffer another humiliated defeat.

 

[jattafridi]

Babar wants to score Famous century 130 plus inning is coming

 

[imshally81]

Match is slipping away..

 

[Darkrai]

poor captaincy from babar should have got a spinner on made england hit out when the pressure was on instead he goes defensive at the wrong time let england settle.

A few overs ago spinners were on and people wanted pacers lol.

 

[Afhan Ali]

Pakistan cricket team is the image of poor pakistani society.
Deeply dishonest, corrupt, less talented and incompetent.

 

[silentkiller187]

our batsmen can barely run singles and these 2 tailenders are getting 2's with ease

 

[silentkiller187]

A few overs ago spinners were on and people wanted pacers lol.

well those who wanted pace have got there wish, match has probably slipped away

 

[YousafTheBeast]

If Pakistan wins, we continue being tortured by players like Faheem, Imam and Rauf in the team.

If Pakistan loses, we may see the last of Rauf, Faheem, Imam, Misbah and Waqar.

Now why would any sane Pakistani cricket fan want us to win today?

 

[Darkrai]

300!!

 

[Titan24]

Initial burst from Salt and Vince meant that even at 160 odd for 7, England just needed to get run a ball partnership to have something on the board

 

[Darkrai]

If Pakistan wins, we continue being tortured by players like Faheem, Imam and Rauf in the team.

I feel like we always say this.

 

[Yk313]

Pakistan cricket team is the image of poor pakistani society.
Deeply dishonest, corrupt, less talented and incompetent.

Don’t wish to discuss the exact labels but why wouldn’t it be? It is, after all, a small sample taken from the same population. Overall, you would expect the sample to reasonably mimic the population.

 

[jattafridi]

Finally

 

[silentkiller187]

50 runs too late that wicket

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

229/8

 

[Gullycricket]

I think the biggest problem right now is Faheem. He contributes nothing. If we boot him we can actually play with 11 players

 

[jattafridi]

Come on Pakistan u can still do it

 

[imshally81]

If Pakistan wins, we continue being tortured by players like Faheem, Imam and Rauf in the team.

If Pakistan loses, we may see the last of Rauf, Faheem, Imam, Misbah and Waqar.

Now why would any sane Pakistani cricket fan want us to win today?

Even we lost.. We will continue to see this jokers like misbah, waqar, rauf n faheem

 

[Titan24]

Pakistan losing wont start producing 80s WI players. So I will take the win if thats in the menu for today.

Waqar’s fifth stint, right? Pretty sure he’s still around despite some harrowing losses for PAK.

 

[YousafTheBeast]

I feel like we always say this.

Well Misbah and Waqar are running out of scapegoats.

 

[silentkiller187]

overall pak will be happy to chase under 250 however pakistan had england in a few positions where it could have been easily under 200

 

[Greenstorm]

The reason is that England have wealth of talent in limited over cricket, all power hitting is not all that you need as Gregory is showing to build a total,albeit thanks to some very ordinary bowling by Pakistan. Pakistan do not have enough batting depth to replace Shadab with Usman.

You don't plan for a game thinking you will be 160-7.
Someone like Waseem Jr is a better option than Shadab at 7. Qadir can bat a bit as well.

 

[imshally81]

I think the biggest problem right now is Faheem. He contributes nothing. If we boot him we can actually play with 11 players

Same with rauf & imam

 

[PakPremi]

So much for Gregory power hitting first big one he tried and goes out, but as I said power hitting is not everything his low risk but sensible consisyent run scoring is likely to give England a reasonable score to bowl with after few jolts they suffered mid inning.

Misbah-Waqar are here to stay at least till WC.

 

[Titan24]

Better second spell or so from Rauf after initial horror. Faheem has been the biggest disappointment today as hitting the basic offstump line and length is the least you expect from him.

 

[Gullycricket]

Rauf should mostly come in ending overs whether in T20 or Odi. Husnain should replace Faheem next game

 

[NeVerMind]

Honestly, I can't for the life of me think why Imad Wasim is not part of the playing 11....

 

[Yk313]

So much for Gregory power hitting first big one he tried and goes out, but as I said power hitting is not everything his low risk but sensible consisyent run scoring is likely to give England a reasonable score to bowl with after few jolts they suffered mid inning.

The big hits would have been a bonus. The way he grafted at run a ball without any risks put more pressure on PAK.

 

[imshally81]

misbah-waqar are here to stay at least till wc.

wc 2033

 

[Gullycricket]

Taking review for fun. What's this

 

[Gullycricket]

250 will be tough for us I feel.

 

[Darkrai]

lol Rizwan and Shadab

 

[Justcrazy]

No meaningful contributions from Bat for England yet , they have decent total on board

 

[silentkiller187]

finally inside edge hits the stumps
