England v Pakistan | 3rd ODI | Nottingham | August 30th, 2016 | England innings

[Mainul]

Pakistan is playing like an associate nation in ODIS. If there were system of relegation in ODIS, Pakistan would have surely been relegated just like Bangladesh and Zimbabwe in tests.Pakistan should be happy to hold it's no 9 position.

 

[Ankit007]

one wicket of hales an they wont reach 400...

 

[JaDed]

Is this highest individual score for English batsman against Pakistan?

 

[Shafi]

The same pitch will be mine field when we will bat!!!

 

[Jabo]

And people think this side is going attract a crowd in the uae

The crowd will be just like what we see in our test matches

Empty

 

[mz123]

the amount of deliveries hales has edged....

 

[JaDed]

Hales day that was lucky.

 

[PennOne]

Get Amir back into the attack he is the only one who had the batsmen on a leash the others are pathetic

 

[Shafi]

Hales can score 250 if play sensibly!!!

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Alas our fielders and bowlers are capable...

Didn't you say you were from India?

 

[Dios]

If Stokes can't bowl why on earth would you pick him ahead of Bairstow?! Hate how hyped up and overrated Stokes is.

 

[ExplicitAI]

This is the same guy who conceded 90 in 10 overs against SA

 

[wicketpace]

what can any captain do with this kind of pathetic players in your team???

guess you are not watching it!

 

[badsha001]

these bowlers are pathetic... they fully know that hales is going to swing his bat at everything so don't bowl fuller length. bowl slower balls outside off at good length

 

[GenericBrand]

Twitter backlash must have gotten to Hales

 

[Shafi]

Fortune favor the brave!!!!

 

[troodon]

If Hales can bat through, Rohit's record could be in danger.

 

[PennOne]

these bowlers are pathetic... they fully know that hales is going to swing his bat at everything so don't bowl fuller length. bowl slower balls outside off at good length

Amir is the only one doing that but people are saying he should be dropped

 

[Rayyman]

Get Amir back into the attack and have him bowl his overs out he is clearly the only one who can stop this

Need him for death man. This is only a preview of the carnage.

 

[JaDed]

Nice Lahore Qalandars having a public trial!

 

[Executioner]

Pakistan let themselves down in the field.

I know it sounds doom and gloom but this is a part and parcel of the sport. As a Bangladeshi fan we have seen worse days and hardly anything to ever look forward to at times.

Just need to belief that this is just winter and that spring will come soon. Law of average

 

[Dios]

Thought that world cup spell would be the turning point for Wahab. Always thought he was good enough to average between 25 and 28 in Tests and around 25 in ODIs. But looks like I was wrong. If anything he is regressing.

 

[MMHS]

Didn't notice, Captain dynamic tried his luck with ball as well!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[rooster]

This is carnage. And our better strikers are yet to bat.

 

[Mainul]

Between April-August BCB probably tried quite a bit. They wanted to arrange a series with SL not sure why that never happened. And in the monsoon season Bangladesh isn't suitable for hosting cricket matches so some team had to host us really. Zimbabwe was a good option but they had a series with India and a test match with NZ.

Also, the window was open for a series with India in India. We were told about a 3 match ODI series and a solitary test but India backed out which they should have done much earlier so BCB could have discussed matters earlier. You can't really arrange a series within a short time given the climate and global terrorism issue.

Yes, Zimbabwe was a option with reality. India only played ODIS, t20 and together with NZ series it didn't consume just above more than a month. So still there was enough time to tour Zimbabwe. BCB could arrange a series if they were aware of it long before it.

 

[JaDed]

Malik in.

 

[Rayyman]

Thought that world cup spell would be the turning point for Wahab. Always thought he was good enough to average between 25 and 28 in Tests and around 25 in ODIs. But looks like I was wrong. If anything he is regressing.

At 32, no way is he gonna improve.

 

[Dios]

What a throw. How can the fielding be so bad? Pakistan need a new fielding coach.

 

[fazleefridi]

England is not that capable to score 400 runs they have already slowed down.

Didn't you say you were from India?

Yes I am

 

[ExplicitAI]

Malik on to bowl now

 

[Ankit007]

Why cant they pick up a ball properly..

 

[JaDed]

Root is class ,perfect timing for reverse sweep!

 

[ExplicitAI]

Remember Azhar was sweating against Zim in ODI's in Lahore

 

[Ind_Yeah]

Who was that fielder that gave up that single? Horrible throw to the bowler's end. Wide by 15 feet.

And gives up another mis-field.

Ah, its Sharjeel, the Ireland abuser.

 

[Strike Rate]

Is this highest individual score for English batsman against Pakistan?

Yeh previous highest was 142 by Gooch

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

England really have so many good quality cricketers, Pakistan are light years behind them. It is showing in the performances of both teams. Only rain can save Pakistan from a white wash.

 

[BabarAkmal_Fan]

Sharjeel is pathetic

 

[ExplicitAI]

Why's he continuing with Wahab

 

[cricketfanfromaz]

Not sure why folks here blaming mainly the captain. How about bowlers and fielders? Filled with average players. No matter who is leading this team, result will be same against top teams. I don't see many international class talent in this team. Club level fielding, fitness, batting...

 

[Ankit007]

They are playing it T20 way now

 

[BabarAkmal_Fan]

Man they look depressed

 

[ExplicitAI]

Wahab has only picked 2 wickets in his last 6 games

 

[BabarAkmal_Fan]

Wahab better be dropped for WI series. Keep him for tests only.

 

[PennOne]

Amir: still think I'm not good enough after this display ?

 

[ExplicitAI]

Astaghfirullah

 

[Indian_Supporter]

Imagine there was no Mumbai attacks in 2008 and Pak-Ind continued to play bilaterals. India would have easily surpassed that H2H record now in ODIs. In T20s we are anyway ahead and would have extended the lead.
Also, Rohit might have couple of more doubles.

Alas we don't play

 

[Sherlock]

Might as well try out Babar and Sharjeel as bowlers. Wahab/Shah/Hasan have all been shocking.

Wahab is hardly bowling well at all.

 

[GenericBrand]

Lol there is going to be Pakistani centurion this game, and its going to be in this innings

 

[troodon]

Wahab should Riaz his bowling more. Too many hit me balls.

 

[-=Umair=-]

Robin smith will be watching this game closely

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Can't take this anymore,turning the telly off.

 

[The_KING]

400 on the cards. I'm done watching this embarrassment.

 

[BabarAkmal_Fan]

Root is so damn good

 

[ExplicitAI]

Lol there is going to be Pakistani centurion this game, and its going to be in this innings

I predict some of our batsman struggling to middle the ball and score a half century at a low SR to save their spot

 

[Xoib]

Amir: still think I'm not good enough after this display ?

So he's the mediocre one in a bad bunch big deal

 

[Kianig89]

Change is imminent Team for next series

Sami
Shehzad
Babar
Sarfraz
Haris
Nawaz
Imad
Amir
Sohail
Wahab/Junaid/Hassan

Bench Rizwan Sharjeel

 

[QalandarFan]

People say Amir is a average bowler on flat tracks right didn't pick up any wickets but his economy rate is just 4.83!

 

[wicketpace]

what a stupid field and fielding

 

[Kianig89]

Heck even,throw Maqsood in the reckoning

 

[BabarAkmal_Fan]

So he's the mediocre one in a bad bunch big deal

At lest he's economical unlike these jokers

 

[PennOne]

So he's the mediocre one in a bad bunch big deal

Lol people still don't give him his due

 

[Indian_Supporter]

Why is Gul not playing guys?

 

[ExplicitAI]

I really want to hear Shoaib Akhtar's analysis, I haven't heard him say anything about Azhar Ali

 

[Sandeep]

Please bowl Mohd Amir and save the only record poor Rohit has

 

[wicketpace]

Now Azhar will take aMalik out of the attack to embarras him

 

[GenericBrand]

I predict some of our batsman struggling to middle the ball and score a half century at a low SR to save their spot

I wasn't talking about the batsmen ;P

 

[Mainul]

Who was that fielder that gave up that single? Horrible throw to the bowler's end. Wide by 15 feet.

And gives up another mis-field.

Ah, its Sharjeel, the Ireland abuser.

Sharjeel is a slogger and today is his best opportunity to slog. But he is supposed to be a failure.

[Sherlock]

I'll be absolutely amazed if England don't hit the 400 mark tbh.

 

[Rayyman]

So he's the mediocre one in a bad bunch big deal

4.83 is above average. Against England, 6 economy is average.

 

[Sherlock]

Buttler and Stokes will feast on this hideous excuse of a bowling line-up.

 

[QalandarFan]

Even Mohammad Nawaz's Economy Rate is 5!

 

[Ankit007]

Review gone...

 

[Lords]

Only if matches were decided on talent alone

 

[ExplicitAI]

Don't blame him, you might as well throw anything at them

 

[ExplicitAI]

no ball

 

[Kianig89]

Azhar has been given enough time but seems he cant overturn it Sarfraz your chance

 

[badsha001]

hasan ali just bowled at 85mph!

 

[Ankit007]

Good Hasan, dont give runs to Hales

 

[Ind_Yeah]

Lot of chest beating and finger pointing expected from the Pak "experts" after this beatdown.

More interesting to see how Pak changes their batting lineup and strategy in the next 5-7 ODIs.
