What's new

England v Pakistan | 5th ODI | Cardiff | September 4th, 2016 | England Innings

Nawaz is bowling poorly. Really overhyped. Has to give the ball some air. Spinners can't be timid.
 
Ben Stokes is such a great number 5. He is starting to mature as a batsman

He booked well in the last match give the youngsters some leeway jeez
 
I football, they do this - Miki should make Gul seat with his younger team members & watch high lights of his entire bowling in this match, time & again. In couple of days time, he might decide to retire.

I works, recently Klopp has given similar treatment to the Ballotelli & he has moved to Nice at less than half take home, despite having 2 years left in his Liverpool contract of BP 90K/week.
 
Aamir is getting stronger definitely. 88mph on start of 3rd spell is good pace.
 
Nawaz has a lot to learn. I hope he does. On the other hand Imad doesn't get enough credit as a spinner. People criticize him for not turning the ball enough etc. Someone even had a post questioning whether he was really a spinner. He is always using his head when he bowls. Perhaps the one real positive for Pakistan in this series.
 
Woakes gone. Nice to see another Pakistani bowler doing well as well as using his head.
 
Wish Gul did not get that wicket and make another couple of series
 
Hasan should work on his batting, he can be a permanent member for LO set-up.
 
If anyone has any doubts how miserable a Captain Azhar Ali is, this is to kill every doubt.

8 overs to go and it's slog time, two new batsmen at crease and he has Amir bowling to them when he has to get two overs from somewhere. And he want those 2 overs to be 49th and 50th.
 
Cuptan is going to bowl Gulla in last 5 overs with Aamir 1. This is called calculation.
 
Is Waz shooting from the hip? I remember quite a few big scores in the Pakistan Cup

Disagree. He's trying to kill this off now

So would you want the new batsmen to get settled against Gul or Nawaz or would you rather go for the kill and try bowl them out with your best bowlers?
 
England is already in the safe side!!! We will not score over 230 against England. Hopefully we can get rid of any of Azhar, Gul, Hafeez, Malik, Wahab, Irfan (Poor fitness), Yasir

Gul and Malik will bowl those overs and give 40 runs
 
Very very good comment. Can be that modern day razaq we are desperate for

Tough.

Razzak wasted himself, otherwise he could have Kapil Dev like status in LO cricket. Hasan probably a shed faster bowler, but much lesser bat. He should look to be a solid bat at No. 9 or 10 spot (depending on how good Aamir becomes with bat) & develop into a good death bowler.

PAK'll need a new ball partner of Aamir badly - this is even more desperate situation than batting or power hitter. If his partners go for 0/111 or 1/64 in 8, it's impossible to operate.
 
Good bowling Hasan Ali, should not leak more runs. Target has already passed our chasing capability.
 
Still refreshing to here Wasim! Listening to Ramiz again and again gets boring!

It's awful. He just narrates exactly what is happening on screen, as though we're not watching the same thing he is because it's on the bloody television. Take that last wicket, Atherton is trying to do the impossible and drag something interesting out of Wasim by asking about the reasons for the low totals in Pakistani domestic cricket and he's halfway through a sentence before interrupting himself to shout:

"SHORT BALL...PULLED....CAUGHT!!!!"

Yeah cheers for that, I can see what just happened with my own eyes. Those words have added literally nothing of substance.
 
Another wicket to Amir

Amir and Hasan Ali/Sohail Khan should be our bowlers for overs 1-10 and 40-50 but I'd prefer Hasan due to his age and better fitness. Never thought that leaving out Wahab would bring such mental strength to our bowling. Wahab always gifted the momentum to opposition in tight situations.
