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

[big_gamer007]

Milk as many runs from the spinners as these two can.. Both good players of spin if they can reach 35 overs without losing a wicket Pakistan should be in a good position.

 

[The Last Of The Stars]

Our tail is weak, should have selected Nawaz instead of Imad.

 

[ask_analyse_act]

for both malik and sarfraz if they can sense it.. this knock will be taken as a plus point to bring them the captain's arm band...

 

[QalandarFan]

Missing Misbah's reverse scoops
And Malik just hit a four!

 

[ExplicitAI]

Good chance for Malik to mend his terrible batting record in England

 

[big_gamer007]

really need to kick on now

Only 24 overs gone man and not much decent bats left after these two no need to kick on atm should just milk the spinners for singles/double with occasional boundary till 35 overs..

 

[Faisalsq092]

Sarfaraz, Malik and Babar have provided a template to the rest of the team of how to bat in the modern game. Also goes on to show how good this wicket is. SHouldnt ever have been 2-3

 

[classic]

For Pakistan to be successful in ODI we need to slot in Umar Akmal otherwise we will be constantly chopping and changing.

As long as he has the right temperament he must be selected . Very very impressed with Babar and I would like to see them both bat as partners would be a treat to watch.

 

[The Last Of The Stars]

Rizwan should play as a batsman in the next game.

He is rubbish.

 

[m.shah]

Wood back

 

[Shafi]

Good news for BD, both Anderson and Broad are out for the series

 

[QalandarFan]

Rizwan should play as a batsman in the next game.

Yeah should play instead of Sami.

 

[ask_analyse_act]

oh no its reversing now...

 

[anuk]

how good is safraz? cant believe people like waqar thought he would not be able to bat in odis

 

[supersix]

Nassar being sarcastic about Pakistan being able to handle reverse swing?

 

[QalandarFan]

Chipped over midwicket for 1.

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Malik will struggle against Wood and Woakes. Should have bowled these 2 when he came on to the crease.

 

[The Last Of The Stars]

Yeah should play instead of Sami.

Instead of Sharjeel.

 

[Faisalsq092]

Crucial period here. Survive Wood's burst of max 3 overs and then dish out the spinners. A wicket here is key for England

 

[The Last Of The Stars]

Malik should chop this Wood.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Need to carry on rotatng strike with boundaries

 

[The Last Of The Stars]

Wasted over, shouldn't give Wood that much respect.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

300 is par on this pitch

 

[big_gamer007]

Tight over from moeen should find gaps atleast milk 5-6 singles off him..

 

[The Last Of The Stars]

Bowlers like Woakes and Plunkett bowled so well, so far, what a joke.

 

[The Last Of The Stars]

Moeen should be dispatched for four sixes.

 

[#GreenRoars]

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

This is fun .... Wood to Malik

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Garbage frm malik

 

[big_gamer007]

Poor from Malik

 

[shah_1]

Malik flops against pace AGAIN

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Why do pak have a nak of always giving eng a sniff by throwimg wkts away

 

[Zeshan547]

It was only matter of time,

 

[Faisalsq092]

Well well. Wood gets a wicket

 

[QalandarFan]

RR dropping to 4.78!

 

[big_gamer007]

240-250 seems like the best Pakistan can hope for now.. Unless someone plays a blinder

 

[shah_1]

Imad is hopeless

 

[The Last Of The Stars]

Malik should be axed, good for nothing, so with this the tail starts, what a blunder to leave out Nawaz.

 

[QalandarFan]

Malik can not play pace, Out!

 

[ExplicitAI]

c'mon man

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Malik will struggle against Wood and Woakes. Should have bowled these 2 when he came on to the crease.

As I predicted Malik is gone .... all teams should bowl only pacers against him and 99% sure he would gift his wicket in non Asian conditions.

 

[supersix]

240-250 seems like the best Pakistan can hope for now.. Unless someone plays a blinder

Someone needs to play a blinder to get to 240-250, forget about going above that.

 

[classic]

Moeen should be dispatched for four sixes.

..he bowls a tight line and channel and creates pressure.

 

[ExplicitAI]

The batting messed up in the first ODI and we made the tail even longer in the sense that the tail starts when we're 5 down

 

[The Last Of The Stars]

Wood should be attacked.

 

[QalandarFan]

Malik can't even bat in the top 4/5 he had the opportunity today and threw it away. Axe this guy and Hafeez straight away along with Azhar aswell!

 

[Sherlock]

Imad is very poor vs pure pace. How poor is the lower order

 

[Faisalsq092]

Imad have got the opportunity to seal his place for the series now with 60odd here.

 

[The Last Of The Stars]

Now even England is dominating us in limited overs cricket, what horrible times.

 

[shaaik]

Malik's defensive approach cost him here. This ball should have been dispatched over point boundary but choose a defensive option of dabbing it down the third man. Poor shot selection.

 

[Lords]

I wantd Shoaib to hit a half ton

 

[Zeshan547]

Why sarfraz is unnecessarily slowing down?

 

[Rayyman]

Imad needs a fifty here.

 

[Aviator]

Should score against moeen or else one more wicket coming up..

 

[QalandarFan]

Last 5 overs 16/1 RR 3.20. Pace is slowing down!

 

[QalandarFan]

Need to dispatch Moeen!

 

[The Last Of The Stars]

Sarfraz should play aggressively.

 

[Cricket World]

Our Don Bradman of ODI (Malik) has got out

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Now even England is dominating us in limited overs cricket, what horrible times.

ENG ODI & T20 teams are pretty good, drastic improvement post 2015 WC debacle.

 

[big_gamer007]

Someone needs to play a blinder to get to 240-250, forget about going above that.

As long as Sarfaraz stays till the end they should get to 240.. Easier said than done though let's see what happens.. You guys got any power hitters in the tail 25 off 12 balls type?

 

[The Last Of The Stars]

Yeah should play instead of Sami.

Instead of Malik.

 

[Cricket World]

Anyone in place of Malik

 

[The Last Of The Stars]

Pathetic stuff from Imad, defending off Moeen, what a joke of mindset these players have.

 

[QalandarFan]

Last 5 overs 13/1

 

[ExplicitAI]

Why on earth are you defending? What impression are you trying to make?

 

[QalandarFan]

No Michael Holding commentating today?

 

[ExplicitAI]

"pedestrian batting lineup", perfectly sums us up

 

[Naim]

imad you are not playing test match

 

[Rayyman]

"pedestrian batting lineup", perfectly sums us up

It's ok. We're rebuilding.

 

[Belawal2014]

Imad eating up the balls...

 

[The Last Of The Stars]

Imad is just killing the time, what a joke.

 

[m.shah]

Too many dot balls

 

[QalandarFan]

Imad 1 (9) SR 11!

 

[The Last Of The Stars]

Who is in the right mind will select Imad over Nawaz?

 

[The Last Of The Stars]

Sarfraz is just playing for himself now, rubbish approach.

 

[MMHS]

Imad is playing for 50 overs, not much to do actually, if you are 2/3 (English scoring system, in AUS, they out wicket first).

 

[Rayyman]

OMG. Wirst-slitters galore. We still have over 20 overs left.

 

[QalandarFan]

Why are they blocking Mooen!

 

[Aviator]

Both Imad and Nawaz are overhyped...
