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

[Maliq_Mudasir]

What is the role of Sarfaraz in team if he can't bat.

 

[Chokli]

no wonder waqar was a horrible coach and captain; he thinks sarfraz is a clean hitter of the ball

 

[kirkut fan]

Lots of left-right batting combos in Pakistan's team in this match. Haris is a must for the 11 in WC

 

[Titan24]

Waqar saying “Sarfaraz is such a clean striker of the ball”. ??

 

[Mamoon]

Ok so where does Rizwan fit in here then?

He doesn’t fit into the T20 team either, but he is a very good number 4/5 for ODIs and comfortably better than Sarfraz.

 

[Hasan123]

Our bowlers will need to save the day.

 

[Invincible Gujjar]

no sign of captain pathetic.He should have been dumped long time ago.He is good for nothing.

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

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

Haha and no captain too, haters forgot what happened in SA when we lost a series after X1 straight series wins and their darling Malik got the chance to captain.

 

[topspin]

no wonder waqar was a horrible coach and captain; he thinks sarfraz is a clean hitter of the ball

Has always been a tactical failure.

 

[Chokli]

165 we will most likely get.

 

[Justcrazy]

Faheem should be able to hit some lusty blows otherwise he has no point in playing.

 

[ARK Rafay]

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

Unpredictability level - Unpredictable

 

[imshally81]

 

[babajee]

He doesn’t fit into the T20 team either, but he is a very good number 4/5 for ODIs and comfortably better than Sarfraz.

So then Sarfi makes the T20 team on merit as he is a better batsman (in T20s), keeper and captain. Simple.

 

[Titan24]

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

Archer didnt have 2,3 years of chances which Amir had

 

[Chokli]

Faheem!

 

[Zeshan547]

Where is Maddy the Destroyer???

 

[imshally81]

Imad is clueless

 

[topspin]

Waqar on Archer: That's the beauty of having someone who can bowl 190+

 

[ARK Rafay]

Imad don't do this.

 

[babajee]

Imad getting exposed.

 

[Hasan123]

Rashid into the attack.

 

[Chokli]

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

the sarfraz fans think it's 1989 where we can afford a passenger of a keeper

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Disappointing to see the mini-collapse.

 

[Chokli]

Waqar on Archer: That's the beauty of having someone who can bowl 190+

lmao omg

where is rameez raja, missing some gems from him as well

 

[ARK Rafay]

Where is Maddy the Destroyer???

Here!

 

[Zeshan547]

Fahim beta seedhi sweep khelna seekh le pehlay, reverse Rehn de,,,

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Four for Imad, needs to hit a few more.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan lack six hitters down the order.

 

[MRSN]

What is the role of Sarfaraz in team if he can't bat.

must be shivering...and it's only a T20. Real fun begins next month.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

You can easily replace Sarfraz with Umar Akmal as wk in T20 and get a better batsmen and better results.

So the keeper excuse is useless at least in T20.

 

[Mamoon]

So then Sarfi makes the T20 team on merit as he is a better batsman (in T20s), keeper and captain. Simple.

He is not a better keeper and I don’t care about the artificial streak in T20s.

Give him one series vs India and it will be a repeat of the Asia Cup humiliation, where we all saw his brilliant captaincy as India basically smashed us in both games with only two batsmen.

He can also make better use of the 4-5 deliveries that Sarfraz reserves for himself in T20s.

However, as I said, he doesn’t fit the bill in T20s either because he is not a big hitter and there are better accumulators like Babar, Haris etc.

The only solution really is to give Umar Akmal the gloves in T20s.

 

[Titan24]

Pakistan lack six hitters down the order.

Definitely and irony is so called six hitter getting runout to take 1 run

 

[Hasan123]

Need some boundaries asap.

 

[Chokli]

You can easily replace Sarfraz with Umar Akmal as wk in T20 and get a better batsmen and better results.

So the keeper excuse is useless at least in T20.

him and the fans will be screwed once there is a drinks break

 

[Angrez Pakistani]

You can easily replace Sarfraz with Umar Akmal as wk in T20 and get a better batsmen and better results.

So the keeper excuse is useless at least in T20.

Think we tried that in 2015 World Cup.

 

[Mamoon]

Imad getting exposed.

100x better batsman than Rana and Show-off.

 

[DRsohail]

Pathetic stuff from pakistan.

 

[CricVet]

You can easily replace Sarfraz with Umar Akmal as wk in T20 and get a better batsmen and better results.

So the keeper excuse is useless at least in T20.

Hahhahahha...that is the ultimate trolling...

 

[Invincible Gujjar]

captain pathetic should be ashamed of himself and they say he is selfless.What a joke.

 

[Hawkeye]

Imad getting exposed.

He's an accumulator.

Him batting late order is one of the biggest blunders we've made. Will pay for it.

 

[Titan24]

Imad 9 off 10 and faheem 10 off 7. Poor stuff in last overs

 

[babajee]

100x better batsman than Rana and Show-off.

Yeah we're really seeing that today.

 

[Chokli]

rana saab looking pretty good with the bat

 

[AFM]

Lazy running.

 

[DRsohail]

100x better batsman than Rana and Show-off.

Does not mean he belongs to this level.Cant win you a single match with his batting.

 

[Titan24]

He's an accumulator.

Him batting late order is one of the biggest blunders we've made. Will pay for it.

He isn’t technically good enough to bat in top 4, so where should he bat?

 

[Chokli]

Think we tried that in 2015 World Cup.

50 over and 20 overs; much different

 

[ARK Rafay]

Why Faheem opens up to play square?

 

[imshally81]

captain pathetic should be ashamed of himself and they say he is selfless.What a joke.

I think his decision was correct to send asif n imad

 

[Zeshan547]

Fahim Yar kbhi galti se he connect kr lia kr,,,

 

[Hasan123]

This isn't even about power hitting. These guys just don't have the shot range. They are only targeting 1 side of the boundary. England have caught on to this.

 

[Chokli]

He isn’t technically good enough to bat in top 4, so where should he bat?

won us a game with his batting in a t20 vs new zealand in 2014 opening the innings

 

[Mamoon]

Yeah we're really seeing that today.

We have been seeing it throughout their careers.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Waqar - Imad is in good form can he hit 2 sixes to put this score (158) 180.

 

[topspin]

Imad getting exposed.

Says Faheem's cheerleaders i.e. work of fiction

 

[AFM]

Yeah we're really seeing that today.

Are we seeing the same match? Rana jee is not a batsman at all.

 

[imshally81]

What a hit

 

[Mamoon]

Does not mean he belongs to this level.Cant win you a single match with his batting.

He is our best all-rounder and a good support spinner. It’s not his fault our main spinner is a minnow-basher.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Yesss. I finally got to see Rana's six of yorker again!

 

[Titan24]

won us a game with his batting in a t20 vs new zealand in 2014 opening the innings

Imad?

 

[Green Patriot]

Faheem

 

[Justcrazy]

Poms bat all the way till 11 here.

 

[babajee]

Are we seeing the same match? Rana jee is not a batsman at all.

Rana is doing a better job of looking like a batsman than Imad right now.

 

[DRsohail]

Imad only knows one shot, clear front foot and paly straight, no use of crease no use of angles. Cant be a lower order hitter

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Hahhahahha...that is the ultimate trolling...

How so?

Unless you really believe in following

1. Sarfraz is a better batsmen than Umar in T20.

2. Sarfraz is an amazing T20 captain and his loss will be too much for the team to bear.

So which of the two ??

Maybe u can let Pakistan win first then gloat that it was due to Sarfraz eh?

 

[Titan24]

Atlast a good strike

 

[imshally81]

 

[hadi123]

What a fade away after that partnership between Haris and Babar. Fgs. Just to make my day worse after that crap Manchester United performance.

 

[CricVet]

I am not from karachi but hate it when people have their agendas against a player due to his region.

My favs are Babar, Haris and Sarfraz (Lahore, Sialkot, and Karachi) and just wish people keep their agendas on side and for once think about Pakistan.

Its a no brainer Sarfraz is the best captain in pakistan and has done remarkably well after our disaster in 2016 World T20.

Same here brother... I am careless if all players are FROM Lahore as long as they are deserving it

 

[Chokli]

Imad?

sarfraz

 

[ARK Rafay]

He should look hit straight more than often. He's chances of hitting a six will increase

 

[Hasan123]

Faheems limit is one 6 and then he gets out.

 

[Mamoon]

Six and Out, story of his career. Anyway, to be fair, he did score 17 today which is more than what he is usually capable of.

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Pak should never have batted first.

Massive blunder.

 

[Salman4.]

100x better batsman than Rana and Show-off.

Even Shaheen is a better batsman than Rana.

 

[imshally81]

Faheems limit is one 6 and then he gets out.

At least he hit.. Hasan ali should be next

 

[Hasan123]

Hasan Ali coming ahead of specialist captain.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Man Sarfraz you should've come.

 

[Mamoon]

Sarfraz has no shame.
