England v Pakistan | Only T20I | Cardiff | May 5th, 2019 | Pakistan innings

[ARK Rafay]

And he's caught on long boundary

 

[Titan24]

Asif should come in now

 

[Hasan123]

Imad should come in now.

 

[babajee]

Haris gets out at the right time.

 

[imshally81]

Good batting by Harris

 

[Chokli]

Good innings by Haris but he got out at the right time.

 

[Hasan123]

We all knew specialist captain wouldn't come in now.

 

[AFM]

Great innings Harry. Did your job! :applause

 

[Hasan123]

Asif Ali a chance to impress.

 

[Chokli]

Come on Asif show us what you got when the opponent isn't Zimbabwe

 

[mak36]

This batting pair is all of PP's wet dream

Now you know why.

 

[imshally81]

t

 

[Titan24]

Asif Ali should target the right bowlers

 

[Chokli]

We all knew specialist captain wouldn't come in now.

He's the best keeper in Pakistan, he doesn't need to know how to bat.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Archer's variations reminds me of DJ Bravo

 

[CricVet]

What about batting? Rizwan has done more in 2 months with the bat than what Sarfraz has in the last two years.

If you take out the last series against AU in a LOSING CAUSE, he has not much to show for. We need a keeper first. If he developed his keeping skills, I am all for him. He is not an upgrade and that is the reason why PCB and mickey have kept him as a backup

 

[Titan24]

Imad should come

 

[Hasan123]

That was an awful ball. Should have been dispatched.

 

[Mamoon]

Who is the best T20 batsman according to you?

It is very tough for me to pick between Kohli, Warner and Buttler, but since Kohli is the best overall batsman in the world, I would probably side with him.

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Terrible running! Babar gave it before Archer hit the stumps.

 

[Titan24]

Archer's variations reminds me of DJ Bravo

Yea but varying from 90+ miles to down is more difficult to handle

 

[AFM]

That was not needed

 

[imshally81]

Sir Imad in the middle

 

[Green Patriot]

Poor Babar.

 

[Slim]

Asif the useless gets babar run out. WTH

 

[Hasan123]

Need to get to 180 at least.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistsn need big overs here.

 

[Titan24]

24 balls, these two should target 50 to 60 ideally

 

[Mamoon]

What really gives me hope is that Babar is aleast 4,5 years younger than the names you have mentioned and he is only gonna get better with time and confidence.

Yes he can, but at this point, he is not the best T20 batsman in the world. No one in his right mind would have him over Kohli or Warner in their team.

 

[Chokli]

Pretty funny when our Pakistani commentators call Asif Ali - Mohammad Asif

 

[Invincible Gujjar]

captain pathetic hiding yet again.No surprise though

 

[ARK Rafay]

Our only power hitters at the crease

 

[Dr_Bassim]

65 off 42 balls is good in T20 but not amazing.

I can almost side with people that he is a good T20 player but his accelaration throughout is quite iffy.

 

[Green Patriot]

Some great fielding efforts by England today.

 

[Chokli]

anybody know how long the innings break is?

 

[imshally81]

Need at least 180

 

[Ronaldo7]

anybody know how long the innings break is?

20 mins.

 

[Hasan123]

It would actually be funny if specialist captain promotes Hasan and Faheem ahead of himself.

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Well played Babar.

No 1 t20 batsman for a reason!

 

[imshally81]

anybody know how long the innings break is?

15 mins... I think..

 

[Chokli]

65 off 42 balls is good in T20 but not amazing.

I can almost side with people that he is a good T20 player but his accelaration throughout is quite iffy.

he was 18 off 18 at one point, scored 47 off the next 24 balls... the start was iffy because of the loss of wickets.

 

[Hasan123]

65 off 42 balls is good in T20 but not amazing.

I can almost side with people that he is a good T20 player but his accelaration throughout is quite iffy.

This is the point I was trying to make but wanting your players to improve means you hate them.

 

[imshally81]

Run out

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Typical Pakistan

 

[ARK Rafay]

Self Destruct mode activated!

How can anyone forget that.

 

[Titan24]

Poor stuff from Asif and Imad

 

[Hasan123]

Asif Buttler gone.

 

[CricVet]

We need one 15 plus over to get to 180

 

[Invincible Gujjar]

Asif useless Ali gone now.

 

[Chokli]

20 mins.

you think i'll have enough time to run to burger king? it's about 4.4 kms away

 

[AFM]

What was that?

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan loosing there way here.

 

[Mamoon]

I can’t wait for the day we get rid of Asif Ali for good. The fact that he has played international cricket is nothing but a mockery of Pakistan cricket.

He is in no shape or form cut for this level.

 

[Forum363]

captain pathetic hiding yet again.No surprise though

What’s wrong with you? Do you just like to spew hate and negativity for no reason.

Please tell me how in the match situation it made sense for Sarfaraz to come out?

 

[Chokli]

asif ali has a brain fade

 

[Ronaldo7]

you think i'll have enough time to run to burger king? it's about 4.4 kms away

4.4+4.4 = 8.8 So not if you run.

 

[Slim]

Asif the useless gets babar run out. WTH

Now gets himself out, garbage.

 

[Green Patriot]

Asif

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Where is captain?

 

[Mamoon]

I don’t want to needle Sarfraz fans, but he cannot attack in the PP overs like Fakhar, he is not a better accumulator than Babar or Haris, he is not a better hitter than Asif, Imad, Faheem and even tail-enders like Hasan. What exactly is he in the team for?

 

[CricVet]

Unlucky

 

[Hasan123]

More selfless cricket from specialist captain. Promoting a tail ender ahead of himself.

 

[Titan24]

Irrespective of winning or loosing, lacking basic sense isn’t impressive at all

 

[topspin]

If you take out the last series against AU in a LOSING CAUSE, he has not much to show for. We need a keeper first. If he developed his keeping skills, I am all for him. He is not an upgrade and that is the reason why PCB and mickey have kept him as a backup

[MENTION=147429]Chokli[/MENTION] yep another blind follower.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

he was 18 off 18 at one point, scored 47 off the next 24 balls... the start was iffy because of the loss of wickets.

Fair enough.

But my point is for impact he is below Maxwell, Warner or any other impact player even though he deserves the T20 number 1 ranking.

T20 Rankings reward consistency not impact and he is definitely consistent enough to hit 50 every match.

 

[AFM]

Where is Sarfraz? Rana jee is not a batsman.

 

[DRsohail]

I can’t wait for the day we get rid of Asif Ali for good. The fact that he has played international cricket is nothing but a mockery of Pakistan cricket.

Ageeed, not a good foelder and the leaser said about his use of brain the better.

 

[Technics 1210]

Pakistan are the only team in the world that will make Jokers look like Kings, and Kings look like Jokers.

 

[Chokli]

I don’t want to needle Sarfraz fans, but he cannot attack in the PP overs like Fakhar, he is not a better accumulator than Babar or Haris, he is not a better hitter than Asif, Imad, Faheem and even tail-enders like Hasan. What exactly is he in the team for?

He's the best keeper in Pakistan

 

[castortroy]

How dopey is Asif Ali

No wonder why they have been a laughing stock for their running between the wickets for the last 20 years

 

[Hasan123]

I don’t want to needle Sarfraz fans, but he cannot attack in the PP overs like Fakhar, he is not a better accumulator than Babar or Haris, he is not a better hitter than Asif, Imad, Faheem and even tail-enders like Hasan. What exactly is he in the team for?

His tactics. Bowling specialist bowlers is tactics.

 

[Shafi]

How on earth Asif keeps getting selected. This guy shouldn't be even play first class matches. One of the most rubbish player I have ever seen after Faisal Iqbal.

 

[babajee]

Ok so where does Rizwan fit in here then?

 

[cricket_cfa]

Asif part 2 run outs

 

[Gullycricket]

Eng giving Archer chances to prove himself for WC while as we rest Amir and play useless Fahim and Asif

 

[AFM]

It would be criminal not to reach 170 at least from the position we were in.

 

[CricVet]

Pakistan shod play 11 bats + bowlers and no keeper to satisfy the trolls

 

[Green Patriot]

I dont see us getting to 180.

 

[Boi]

Waqar talks so much rubbish.

 

[King-Misbah]

Where is Sarfraz? Rana jee is not a batsman.

He is hiding! Selfless player they say.
