England v Pakistan | 2nd ODI | Lord's | August 27th, 2016 | Pakistan innings

[Rayyman]

Sarfu is good actually. He should be made permanent No. 4.

Babar, Sami/Sharjell (or someone new, lefti)
Haris
Sarfy,
Umar

that should be top 5.

Looks good.

 

[Azrim_91]

Haris and Babar have serious issues with lack of concentration....

Funnily enough I feel the best way to resolve those issues is to play them in tests. Something which I feel Pakistan made a mistake with in regards to Umar Akmal. All the best ODI players like Root and Williamson started off their careers playing tests and developed a habit of temperament and concentration.

 

[Kianig89]

Best Pakistan XI atm Mickey plz note

Shehzad
Azhar
S.Aslam
Babar
Sarfraz
Nawaz
Anwar
Wahab
Yasir
Amir
S.Khan

 

[Rayyman]

Need a 100 from Sarfraz. Need a 50+ from Malik.

 

[imshally81]

Bad umpiring

 

[Rayyman]

Hope Azhar show some brain with who comes in at 8. If we need hitting send him Wahab, if we need partnership send in Yasir.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Sarfi playing positive game here.

 

[uzairmanzoor13]

How was that not a wide?

 

[Khan12]

Best Pakistan XI atm Mickey plz note

Shehzad
Azhar
S.Aslam
Babar
Sarfraz
Nawaz
Anwar
Wahab
Yasir
Amir
S.Khan

The best line up won't have wahab, anwar, selfie, yasir and sohail khan.

 

[shaz619]

No Misbah ul haq to save us today guys

 

[QalandarFan]

Sarfraz looks good to get a hundred.

 

[Slog]

Mickey is finally realising the magnitude of the task at hand

Good he doesn't have much hair anyway

 

[QalandarFan]

No Misbah ul haq to save us today guys

Sarfraz is there for us today.

 

[uzairmanzoor13]

Malik isn't looking comfortable against Rashid.

 

[imshally81]

Sarfi playing positive game here.

Sarfi for captain... Anyone?

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Sarfraz has to go big

 

[Sherlock]

It's ok even was not getting big runs during his initial seasons 2009-11.

Thing is Kohli had great batsmen in that side/squad to help him. Babar comes into a side that is a shambles and looking down the barrel of negativity and incompetence, with next to no-one to help him along.

Haris avg 50 in first class cricket... they are good but need to work on the temperament and concentration.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Lol Anwar Ali and Shehzad. Two trash players. That batting makes me wanna puke. When will fans learn

 

[#GreenRoars]

Best Pakistan XI atm Mickey plz note

Shehzad
Azhar
S.Aslam
Babar
Sarfraz
Nawaz
Anwar
Wahab
Yasir
Amir
S.Khan

Nope bro, it is not. It is same like our current team, infact a little worst than current team.

 

[Prince_]

Wow we r playing brilliantly at the moment. 1 more wicket and we will easily restrict Pakistan within 150. Come on England dismiss sarfaeaz ASAP

 

[dauntless]

Babar was playing good but soft dismissal.

 

[mz123]

best pak 11:

1.Umar akmal
2-Sharjeel Khan
3-Harris sohail
4-Babar azam
5-Sarfaraz ahmed
6-Aamer Yamin
7-Ammad Butt/ Nawaz depending on conditions
8-Hassan Ali
9-Wahab Riaz (for his pace)
10-Mohammad Amir
11-Mohammad Ashgar

 

[Boi]

Come on Malik. Tonk Rashid down the ground

 

[dauntless]

Sarfraz is playing good cricket he needs to step up this time

 

[Markhor]

No Misbah ul haq to save us today guys

And soon he won't be there to bail our Test team out either.

 

[QalandarFan]

Amir with a commentary headset on, hopefully he is listening to Wasim.

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Thing is Kohli had great batsmen in that side/squad to help him. Babar comes into a side that is a shambles and looking down the barrel of negativity and incompetence, with next to no-one to help him along.

True but Babar looks pretty good. I hope he is persisted for long time.

Current RR is 4.78, decent after the terrible start.

 

[QalandarFan]

Misbah actually had the ODI team in a good position at 6 for the most part and once in a while at 7. Now we are languishing at 9!

 

[Ankit007]

Come on Malik. Tonk Rashid down the ground

And get out in doing that....

 

[ask_analyse_act]

malik at his avg in eng now

 

[ask_analyse_act]

hope amir learns from wasim's commentary. both azhar mahmood and amir listening to it

 

[Rayyman]

Need a boundary to release pressure.

 

[QalandarFan]

Amir listening to wasim's advice!

 

[QalandarFan]

hope amir learns from wasim's commentary. both azhar mahmood and amir listening to it

I know finally!!!

 

[#GreenRoars]

Amir listening to Wasim's comments, good sign.

 

[mz123]

Lol Anwar Ali and Shehzad. Two trash players. That batting makes me wanna puke. When will fans learn

1.Umar akmal
2-Sharjeel Khan
3-Harris sohail
4-Babar azam
5-Sarfaraz ahmed (wk)(c)
6-Aamer Yamin
7-Ammad Butt/ Nawaz depending on conditions
8-Hassan Ali 9-Wahab Riaz (for his pace)
10-Mohammad Amir
11-Mohammad Ashgar

What do you think ?

 

[itsme]

Babar lack patience,even if early on you could have seen the difference in class beetween babar and sarfi ,sarfi have to get credit for his courage and determination.

 

[rooster]

That's amazing.

A great of the game talking about bowing issues and an aspiring young bowler and his coach listening to it as an eager child.

 

[#GreenRoars]

 

[yasir]

Wicket is not looking that difficult ATM. Sami was unlucky, he was not out, Babar was sort of unlucky too, two of our better players [emoji18][emoji18][emoji18]

Now let's see what these guys got, lot of spin overs till 40th, so they should be good.

[shah_1]

Sarfraz should be the captain, plays like a warrior unlike that coward.

 

[Sherlock]

Amir listening to Wasim's comments, good sign.

Yeah, saw that too

 

[itsme]

Finally i will make umar open babar at 3 and sarfi 4.Even if i don't rate sarfi agains pacers or as a finishers he is better than malik and hafeez in this role.

 

[Boi]

Throwback to when Afridi left his mark at Lords 6 years ago.

https://youtu.be/cyK4Mxvyv_s

 

[Sherlock]

Well done Sarfraz.

 

[Ankit007]

Amir listening to wasim's advice!

Oh man... why cant pcb rope in wasim in dressing room. Why listen to advices on commentry.

 

[ask_analyse_act]

50 for sarfraz..great effort man.. take a bow... make it big and u will be the captain soon.. pls dont get excited as usually u do...

 

[Shafi]

Well played Sarfraz!!!! Keep it up.

 

[Faisalsq092]

Sarfaraz critics can go into their shell now. This should silence them for a while.

 

[Lords]

Sarfraz hit 50 with healthy SR, lets see if he can touch a century here.

 

[QalandarFan]

 

[Belawal2014]

Well played Sarfaraz, I was wrong about you. Keep going...

 

[m.shah]

Good inning by Sarfaraz but need to carry on

 

[QalandarFan]

Sarfraz with a 50!

 

[classic]

I like to see more of Wasim giving good advice to Pakistan cricket also.

 

[QalandarFan]

Hundred here for the taking Sarfraz!

 

[ExplicitAI]

Well deserved 50 Sarfraz, add another 50 to your name mate

 

[Haroon786]

Sarfraz needs to get 150 if Pakistan are to win this.

 

[QalandarFan]

Back to Back fifties!

 

[Boi]

Yes Malik that's what I'm talking about

 

[QalandarFan]

Ohh Malik with a Six!

 

[mz123]

Well played Sarfaraz, I was wrong about you. Keep going...

so would you consider changing him with saud in your line up ( remeber yesterday ?) makiing sarfi the captain wont be a bad idea either

 

[classic]

Now Sarfraz need to start again and play as if he's on 0.

 

[Shafi]

As long as we get rid of Gul and Azhar from the squad and bring 2 new players, it will be positive start for Mickey for the next series. Than he can kick out Wahab and Hafeez in couple of series later and develop Sami and other young players

 

[ExplicitAI]

 

[QalandarFan]

Nasser was commentating about a six and boom Malik gifts one to him!

 

[Belawal2014]

so would you consider changing him with saud in your line up ( remeber yesterday ?) makiing sarfi the captain wont be a bad idea either

Yes, I would play him at 4, though.

 

[Sherlock]

Oh man... why cant pcb rope in wasim in dressing room. Why listen to advices on commentry.

Supposedly it's Office Politics. Also the pay-cheque Wasim wants, PCB don't want to pay. I don't believe the latter tbh. They waste money daily at the PCB, so I think we can write that off. Either way I don't see them hiring him.

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

If Ali and Rashid keep bowling PAK will easily score 250+

 

[mz123]

Yes, I would play him at 4, though.

what ? what about harris and azam ?

 

[QalandarFan]

111/4 after 21 Overs!

 

[Rayyman]

Good to see Pakistan getting partnerships in this series.

 

[classic]

Moeen Ali ...the most consistent wicket taking bowler is on now. Always takes crucial wicket.

 

[QalandarFan]

what ? what about harris and azam ?

Didn't they just remove Harris from the central contracted players list. Don't think he'll be in the side anytime soon.

 

[Rayyman]

Moeen Ali ...the most consistent wicket taking bowler is on now. Always takes crucial wicket.

Didn't take a wicket in the last match...

 

[m.shah]

Good placement

 

[hadi123]

Malik and Sarfraz both need to make centuries for us to have a chance.

 

[The Last Of The Stars]

Sarfraz playing a gem of a knock.

 

[ExplicitAI]

really need to kick on now
