What's new

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

It's not like we're asking for boundaries every ball, Imad. Rotate the strike for goodness sake.
 
Next ODI squad needs to have a deep batting lineup with plenty of firepower below, NOT accumulators.
 
Imad will be useful in the bowling department if he bowls in the right areas can create pressure for England . Similar to Ali.
 
Maybe what's annoying me is that imad wasim is channeling the spirit of Ahmed Shehzad.
A smug sense of satisfaction with blocking every ball. And then wandering off in between deliveries as is to indicate that this is some grand plan, that I am dhoni/razzaq combined in to one and need just play 30 balls and then I can bash the next ten deliveries for six.
 
Why is everyone killing Imad? Atleast he has not lost his wicket like our top order and most of the time our tail never survives
 
Just tuned in, not good going. How is the pitch? Is it swinging prodigiously to justify this situation?

Lol, well put.

Some swing but flat

Imad is a dud - the whole of PP can agree on that today
 
We are playing to loose from the outset but trying to put respectable total with some batting practice and useless averages
 
Our ODI team plays breathtaking cricket against minnows and associate nations but extremely poor level of cricket against anyone above us in the rankings.

I wonder why they dropped Nawaz and not Imad. Nawaz is a better batsman and a better bowler, however both are absolutely average.

Mickey did say Nawaz is a attacking option and Imad is a defensive option. He also said that they needed to get Yasir Shah who is their best attacking option in the next game, guess he didn't want 2 attacking spinners.

Because we are the best country at identifying and nurturing talent.
 
Pakistan CAN evolve and join the top ODI sides who score 300 on a regular basis, we're the last ones to do it but we really need to choose players who can play with a modern mindset
 
Even if these guys take us to 220 we ain't gonna win! So why not take a chance to get to about 280 with the big shots we're gonna end up losing anyways so why not take a chance instead of sitting back and losing defensively! This isn't 1990 anymore we can't compete with top sides with this mindset!

100% agreed! 18 from 33 is useless.
