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

[Nikhil_cric]

Decent start for England.

 

[QalandarFan]

Double paced wicket. Score shouldn't be exceeding 275 here but given our bowling I wouldn't rule out 350 even.

Even 300 is chase able. If we restrict them to under 300 we have a great chance!

If Score exceeds 320 highly unlikely, 350 Plus and game over.

 

[Haroon786]

He was garbage IMO.

Still a SLA from England though.

 

[Hasan123]

Nick Knight thinking Wasim knows a lot about our domestic cricket LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

 

[#GreenRoars]

Thank you Gul.

 

[shah_1]

Gentle bouncer from Bulldozer

 

[IAJ]

Shabash Gul, keep bowling rubbish!

 

[Indiafan]

Even 300 is chase able. If we restrict them to under 300 we have a great chance!

If Score exceeds 320 highly unlikely, 350 Plus and game over.

I doubt that. English bowling will extract much more on this wicket

 

[shariqnoor]

82mph and bowling short to Root without any cover on the boundary. Does Gul even think?

 

[QalandarFan]

What a Shot! Four!

 

[QalandarFan]

Was a poor delivery though!

 

[JibranAnsari]

Amir is a shadow of himself.. Pakistan is totally bankrupt in bowling department.

 

[shah_1]

Gul is showing his class.

 

[QalandarFan]

Still bowling short!

I think he's forgotten how to bowl good/Yorker length!

 

[Belawal2014]

Gul going at almost 9 RPO. Ha Ha Ha....

 

[rooster]

Gul must be thinking why did they picked me in the side???

 

[90MPH]

Gul is finished.

 

[Hasan123]

Umar gul is finished at this level. What a rubbish selection by inzi. If he is selected vs west indies I am going to bang my head against the wall

 

[IAJ]

Finally

 

[MMHS]

Can any one tell Gul that he can be spanked through off side as well.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Woow woow Hasan Ali cheetay

 

[shah_1]

shorty has a taken a wicket

 

[QalandarFan]

Another Four off Gul! Come on Gul!

 

[Pete Rose]

Gul has gone for ten runs. Time to change azhar Ali as captain.

 

[IAJ]

Bye Bye Root

 

[90MPH]

Good bowling Hassan, good length.

Watch and Learn Gul.

This guy is 10 years younger than you.

 

[Pete Rose]

Hassan is the only one who has bowled the right length

 

[QalandarFan]

Hassan Ali Gets Root!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes Hasan!!!!!!!!!!

 

[rooster]

Root gone cheaply

 

[Hasan123]

Hasan strikes. Can remember in the last game wrist slitters were writing him off already )

 

[IAJ]

Woow woow Hasan Ali cheetay

Esay there Roary, itna wow wow bhi nahi tha, hint of inswing though!

 

[QalandarFan]

 

[90MPH]

I doubt that. English bowling will extract much more on this wicket

Doubt it, what will they extract in 3 hours time ?

Maybe a bit with new ball.

 

[IAJ]

Root gone cheaply

Good for the match!

 

[Belawal2014]

Gul has gone for ten runs. Time to change azhar Ali as captain.

Should be for giving Umar Gul the new ball.

 

[fazleefridi]

Hasan strikes. Can remember in the last game wrist slitters were writing him off already )

Hasan gets root twice in dis series

 

[QalandarFan]

Hasan actually has Root's number!

3rd time he's got Root in the series?

 

[#GreenRoars]

Can any one tell Gul that he can be spanked through off side as well.

Every one knows how crap Gul is, except our selectors and Gul.

 

[GenericBrand]

Hasan Ali the only bright spot in the bowling

 

[#GreenRoars]

Esay there Roary, itna wow wow bhi nahi tha, hint of inswing though!

The reason for Woow is i think he has taken Root's wicket twice in this series.

 

[QalandarFan]

If only they were 50/2 in 9.1 it would've been much better!

 

[shariqnoor]

Expecting Nawaz to bowl well in this match. The pitch should grip and spin.

 

[Pete Rose]

Should be for giving Umar Gul the new ball.

Yes sarfaraz would never give the most experienced bowler in the line up the first over

 

[JibranAnsari]

Don't know why was gul picked ..really awful indeed

 

[Lords]

Uprooted

 

[QalandarFan]

Free Hit!!!

 

[IAJ]

He needs to control his no balls

 

[IAJ]

Gift to Morgan

 

[QalandarFan]

Four!

 

[QalandarFan]

Good ball! Hint of Swing!

 

[QalandarFan]

Good end to the over!

 

[MMHS]

Every one knows how crap Gul is, except our selectors and Gul.

Main reason he is here because he was one of the main bowler for Inzi. And captain cool gave the new ball to him because he is senior.

I am afraid, through back door, Gul might play coupe of T20 against WI

 

[QalandarFan]

End of Power Play 1

69/2 RR - 6.9

Good Power Play picking up 2 crucial wickets!

 

[Hasan123]

Hasan gets root twice in dis series

Exactly but some people were writing him off after the last game

 

[JaDed]

Root hasn't been performing that great offlate has he?Consistency has dropped.Was just checking the amount of time he got out to Riaz is pretty high.

 

[Boi]

Gul trundling.

 

[QalandarFan]

Come on Gul Four!

 

[#GreenRoars]

 

[Belawal2014]

Root hasn't been performing that great offlate has he?Consistency has dropped.Was just checking the amount of time he got out to Riaz is pretty high.

2 80s and 1 60ish score this series...

 

[Hasan123]

I can't get over how bad umar gul selection was.

 

[Markhor]

Well England have done us some favours in this series by ending the ODI careers of Gul, Malik, Irfan (OK that one's self inflicted) and Wahab.

 

[QalandarFan]

Ahh, Half Volley, for Four!

Then Next one Edged for Four!

 

[Haroon786]

Root hasn't been performing that great offlate has he?Consistency has dropped.Was just checking the amount of time he got out to Riaz is pretty high.

Think he's averaging over 60-70 vs Pakistan across both formats - is that not good enough for you ?

 

[#GreenRoars]

Good delivery Hasan.

 

[Boi]

Asif-esque delivery!

 

[JaDed]

2 80s and 1 60ish score this series...

Yeah but not that great impact he was having till T20 WC,on such pitches.

 

[shariqnoor]

Well England have done us some favours in this series by ending the ODI careers of Gul, Malik, Irfan (OK that one's self inflicted) and Wahab.

Maybe Gul and Malik but definitely not Wahab's. Believe me, you underestimate the stupidity of our selection committees.

 

[QalandarFan]

Get Some overs of Malik to see if he's more economical than Gul.

 

[JaDed]

Think he's averaging over 60-70 vs Pakistan across both formats - is that not good enough for you ?

Yeah but not that great impact he was having till T20 WC,on such pitches.

2 80s and 1 60ish score this series...

My bad he is the highest scorer in tests. With actually 73 as average in tests and 53.4 in LOI,highest in both formats by player from both sides.

 

[QalandarFan]

Adil Rashid and Wahab chatting!

 

[#GreenRoars]

RR is not dropping, may be time to bring a spinner from one end.

 

[super hitter]

Adil Rashid and Wahab chatting!

yup, was gonna post this, seems interesting!

 

[QalandarFan]

Like this, putting Morgan under pressure!

 

[JaDed]

Sarfaraz can become the highest scorer of the series if he gets 65 runs today.

1 Joe Root -274
2 Alex Hales -223
3 Sarfraz Ahmed -210
4 Eoin Morgan -177
5 Azhar Ali Pakistan -175
6 Imad Wasim Pakistan -137

 

[QalandarFan]

Poor fielding cost us a run!

 

[shariqnoor]

I for one believe that Sohail Tanvir is going to be brought back in the ODI side. And to be fair, he can't do worse than Gul or Wahab.

 

[QalandarFan]

Malik on.

 

[Gone]

Malik and spin brought on

 

[GenericBrand]

Good over from Gul, even the previous one from him was too except for the final ball boundary

 

[IAJ]

Pakistani spinners can't spin the ball and the seamers can't swing it or seam it. Everything seems straight and nice.
