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

[Titan24]

Hassan around the wicket to these two lefties can be worth trying from one end

 

[PakPremi]

Stokes is so lucky

Always has been but is a gun player.

 

[SangasCoverDrive]

This Simpson player is a joke. I am surprised how he even made it to XI over Duckett.

 

[IMMY69]

This Simpson player is a joke. I am surprised how he even made it to XI over Duckett.

He seems to be doing ok

 

[Titan24]

He sure does.
It was just extremely frustrating watching from overs 6 to 15...
Simple things then could have changed everything. Still not sure if he's learnt though because situation is completely different now

Its absurd that how Babar doesnt captain a side in PSL. He surely needs learning and experience and PCB has to play a role in that regard. At the moment his only learning is on job at international level or very few matches when he captains CP in domestic cricket.

 

[jattafridi]

After 25 overs Eng 155-4

They should score another 138 runs

 

[Titan24]

Hassan around the wicket to these two lefties can be worth trying from one end

And he is in with that angle. Hopefully it can bring in some rewards

And he delivers

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

Chal nikal stokes

 

[PakPremi]

Hassan around the wicket to these two lefties can be worth trying from one end

Well he delivers it however.

 

[IMMY69]

Hassan around the wicket to these two lefties can be worth trying from one end

You called it

 

[jattafridi]

Yes

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Stokes should have done his homework, Hasan Ali is not the one you can take liberties with.

 

[imshally81]

Yes... Hasan this time

 

[Darkrai]

If we lose this match, could we Abdullah in the 3rd ODI?

 

[mrtaim3]

Hassan around the wicket to these two lefties can be worth trying from one end

There you go.

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

Where are all the naysayers

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Pathetic stroke from stokes, good from ali....good chance for pak now...

 

[Greenstorm]

Its absurd that how Babar doesnt captain a side in PSL. He surely needs learning and experience and PCB has to play a role in that regard. At the moment his only learning is on job at international level or very few matches when he captains CP in domestic cricket.

Franchises won't waste their time on someone who is not natural. He has a chance at LQ though.

 

[shamaan]

Brilliant bowling change from Babar

 

[SangasCoverDrive]

Where are all the naysayers

This is still an England C team.

 

[Sunny_majoka]

If we lose this match, could we Abdullah in the 3rd ODI?

And who will be dropped for him?

 

[Shoaibbtt]

Pakistan should wrap this up for under 200 InshAllah

 

[Titan24]

Franchises won't waste their time on someone who is not natural. He has a chance at LQ though.

True but, thats why I have always blamed PCB in that regard. Babar is possibly the most sellable commodity in Pak cricket, even if making him a captain is a clause on his contract most franchises will still try to get him in.

 

[Darkrai]

And who will be dropped for him?

Maybe rest one of the openers, perhaps Imam.

 

[PakPremi]

Good match so far up and down for both teams. Unlike Pakistan England proper batting does not end at 5.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Pakistan should wrap this up for under 200 InshAllah

They won't. England will still reach 250.

 

[Sunny_majoka]

Maybe rest one of the openers, perhaps Imam.

Imam only plays one format so resting him will be unfair.

 

[jattafridi]

6 down

 

[imshally81]

RR is under 6 after long time

 

[PakPremi]

This is still an England C team.

Top 5 batters play for England main team as well in one format or other. And so does Saqib Mahmood and Overton.

 

[imshally81]

Hasan on fire

 

[Sunny_majoka]

If we some how replace haris and faheem . It'll be on par xi with any team in the world

 

[shamaan]

6 down

 

[Darkrai]

Imam only plays one format so resting him will be unfair.

Then Fakhar, it doesn't matter. If we aren't gonna give Abdullah a chance against Zimbabwe or England C then what's the point of having him in the team. If he does succeed we can try him at 4 if things don't work out with other players.

 

[imshally81]

If we some how replace haris and faheem . It'll be on par xi with any team in the world

with Nawaz & Husnain

 

[shamaan]

If we some how replace haris and faheem . It'll be on par xi with any team in the world

Husnain is much better than Rauf.husnain has better control.

 

[silentkiller187]

pakistan back in the game

 

[jattafridi]

Come on 1 more

 

[imshally81]

Another one

 

[silentkiller187]

shaping up to be one of those infamous england collapses against Pak

 

[Greenstorm]

True but, thats why I have always blamed PCB in that regard. Babar is possibly the most sellable commodity in Pak cricket, even if making him a captain is a clause on his contract most franchises will still try to get him in.

I think that PCB should look beyond him for the long term captaincy role. It has affected his batting. I have always maintained that we need Babar the batsman more than Babar the captain.

 

[PakPremi]

Pakistan have been unlucky earlier with few near misses in catches but not this time. Well done Hasan Ali.

 

[Titan24]

Well he delivers it however.

You called it

There you go.

Thanks for the recognition guys. He takes both the lefties.

 

[imshally81]

Yes outttt

 

[shamaan]

7 down

Who should captain rizwan ?

 

[qaiser]

How come overten didn’t know he edged it?

 

[Nado_]

Who should captain rizwan ?

That’s a good shout, he has the confidence the charisma and good brains

 

[jattafridi]

Excellent bowling from Hassan Ali

 

[silentkiller187]

How come overten didn’t know he edged it?

he knew, umpire didnt give it out, Hassan Ali was unsure aswell however loud sound even on the TV

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Hasan Ali is on fire

 

[Greenstorm]

Husnain is much better than Rauf.husnain has better control.

Hasnain should have been playing in place of Faheem today. Rauf was our best bowler in SA (odis).

 

[imshally81]

Good bowling by Hasan... But he is not a new ball bowler... We need to find new partner of Shaheen... Maybe Husnain is the answer

 

[Sunny_majoka]

Husnain is much better than Rauf.husnain has better control.

Unfortunately we don't have much options other than them, however they can do much better than fahem harris

 

[PakPremi]

Good shot by Gregory.

 

[silentkiller187]

rauf wasn't too bad today so far, drew the edge a few times with no slip, however long term if Pakistan want to get to the next level we need to find another bowler similar to Hassan, maybe try dahani, akif or wasim based on PSL i dont think naseem shah or Hasnain are the answer either

 

[silentkiller187]

good couple of shots from gregory pakistan cant let him play a woakes-esque innings here all eyes on babar captaincy

 

[PakPremi]

Hasnain should have been playing in place of Faheem today. Rauf was our best bowler in SA (odis).

He was also brainless a lot of time and picked some lucky wickets. Both Fahim and Haris need to be replaced.

 

[Greenstorm]

Who should captain rizwan ?

Rizwan for tests. In Lois, persist with Babar until Shaheen or someone else is ready. I am not convinced with Rizwan the Loi batsman.

 

[jattafridi]

Still 250 possible need wickets

 

[imshally81]

2 boundaries in a over...

 

[Titan24]

Gregory is a pretty decent batsman as he showed in Eng domestic circuit and PSL as well. So he will be the key to gove some shape to Eng innings

 

[PakPremi]

rauf wasn't too bad today so far, drew the edge a few times with no slip, however long term if Pakistan want to get to the next level we need to find another bowler similar to Hassan, maybe try dahani, akif or wasim based on PSL i dont think naseem shah or Hasnain are the answer either

Haris was poor throughout very short and widish. Husnain has been quite good everytime he has played, whereas Haris has many poor games even if he picks up couple of wicket here and there. There are many bowlers that can take over Waqas and Dhani as you said, and even Arshad.

 

[PakPremi]

Rizwan for tests. In Lois, persist with Babar until Shaheen or someone else is ready. I am not convinced with Rizwan the Loi batsman.

Not Shaheen but Shadab for LOIs

 

[Greenstorm]

Bring Rauf-shaheen and finish it.

 

[silentkiller187]

another 4 vital runs for england things haven't gone Pakistans day today in the field on another day England would have been all out by now

 

[Titan24]

Shadab has bowled pretty well today. Much more accurate and less bad balls

 

[Greenstorm]

Not Shaheen but Shadab for LOIs

Qadir should be playing ahead of him here.

 

[silentkiller187]

another edge , rauf needs to maintain that line and length better not throw this position away with his wayward bowling

 

[UzmanBeast]

All trash, spray guns listed up there.

Last decent white ball seamer we had was Gul and Amir.

All better than Rauf. Just anyone instead of him.

I'd probably take you into the team as a quick as opposed to Rauf, assuming you don't spray it around too often

 

[sharmaji]

Just tuned in. Excellent comeback by Pakistan. Hasan Ali is a superstar. Shadab proving his critics (like me) wrong. Pakistan in good position to win this match.

 

[jattafridi]

Need fast Yorkers before it’s too late

 

[Titan24]

Not really convinced with Imam and backward point/point region. I would rather have Shadab over there than him.

 

[taqi]

Babar letting it away with Faheem and Rauf back in attack

 

[Greenstorm]

Poor decision to bring Faheem.

 

[silentkiller187]

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.

 

[jattafridi]

That’s the difference between Australia and Pakistan

 

[Titan24]

Just tuned in. Excellent comeback by Pakistan. Hasan Ali is a superstar. Shadab proving his critics (like me) wrong. Pakistan in good position to win this match.

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

 

[Mesozoic]

Pak need to be careful here. English tail can easily get them to a competitive total of around 240.

 

[BaankeJi]

England already have enough.
