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

[Syed1]

These horns are becoming a "Pakistani" thing.... I hope this trend dies down soon

 

[babajee]

He has improved his acceleration. You'll see it now if he stays in.

As I say it he just hits a big six

 

[Chokli]

BABAR E AZAM!! Sher of Pakistan!

If he improves his power hitting he is our next super star.

Look at that 6

 

[Hawkeye]

That's not true. Umar and Kamran are both superior batsmen in white ball cricket.

True.
[MENTION=138254]Syed1[/MENTION], need to be objective and neutral here.

Sarfraz is several levels below both.

 

[Hasan123]

He has improved his acceleration. You'll see it now if he stays in.

He has to do it over a few games. 1 game isn't enough. Against South Africa in the T20s, his lack of acceleration cost us.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Wow Bobby! You've really shown your development in that shot.

 

[CricVet]

Yeah but as per you Sarf should have batted ahead of him.... make up your mind child

Lol. They will keep crying. You keep them on edge.

 

[babajee]

Jofra Archer is associate level? Are you dumb, deaf or blind?

I mean Willey, Curran, Jordan, Rashid of course.

 

[Syed1]

"I don't need power hitting"

 

[mak36]

Babar has to improve his ability to accelerate the longer the innings goes on. We have been saying this for 2 years and he still hasn't improved in this aspect. His comments about not wanting to improve his acceleration game were very very worrying. A player should always be looking to improve.

When did he say this?

 

[iPakistani]

Number one T20 batsman with a massive shot!!!

 

[imshally81]

11 runs in Adilz over..

 

[Titan24]

Haris and Babar, Pakistan's best batsmen in 15+ years.

Agreed, most complete batsmen. Hopefully can keep working on their gear shifting

 

[Hasan123]

When did he say this?

There was a thread on it. Search PP and you will find it. It wasnt long ago.

 

[ARK Rafay]

He has to do it over a few games. 1 game isn't enough. Against South Africa in the T20s, his lack of acceleration cost us.

It was Hussain Talat for me.

 

[Mamoon]

I mean Willey, Curran, Jordan, Rashid of course.

Willey and Jordan are the only average bowlers in that list.

 

[Green Patriot]

Babar's face after the 6 )

Yay mainai mara hai??

 

[Chokli]

England have more of an excuse for missing players than Pakistan.

Yes agreed but Hafeez is still a vital player for us.

 

[imshally81]

Good running and bumble...

 

[Titan24]

Pak should be able to target spinners, batting against Maxwell and Finch overs in UAE was criminal

 

[babajee]

Willey and Jordan are the only average bowlers in that list.

Curran is awful. Rashid is debatable but I don't rate him.

 

[Syed1]

Harry looking crisp

 

[mak36]

There was a thread on it. Search PP and you will find it. It wasnt long ago.

He never said what you said.

 

[ARK Rafay]

"I don't need power hitting"

Omg! This means Babar dose not consider this 6 power hitting. That also means we are yet to see real power hitting in the future.

 

[MRSN]

Yeah but as per you Sarf should have batted ahead of him.... make up your mind child

Agreed. He knows if Pak is to win then he has to bat lower than Imad.

 

[imshally81]

 

[topspin]

When did he say this?

He implied it - mentioned something along the lines of "I've reached number 1 without power hitting".

Hasan is right, he doesn't have any intention to improve his power hitting, going by that statement.

 

[Syed1]

What's a good score on this pitch? I think 160 should be enough with our bowling

 

[ARK Rafay]

Haris and Babar will be our two pillars in WC

 

[babajee]

Pakistan clawing their way back into the game.

 

[Hasan123]

It was Hussain Talat for me.

It was both. The more experienced player should be taking the responsibility imo.

 

[imshally81]

87.7 mph

 

[mak36]

He implied it - mentioned something along the lines of "I've reached number 1 without power hitting".

Hasan is right, he doesn't intend to improve his power hitting.

Both of you need to learn to read:

"If I can be No.1 in the world [on the MRF Tyres ICC T20I Rankings for batting] without power hitting, then I don't need power hitting," he said. "But when I need to, I utilise it well. I don't just play along the ground. I practice hitting the ball big and when needed, I use it. My role is to play out the full overs. My individual role is to take the innings as deep as I can and perform in a way that benefits the team most of all."

 

[Syed1]

Willey bhai ke buray din chal rahay hain

 

[Titan24]

Haris definitely got some confidence from Aus series

 

[AFM]

This batting pair is all of PP's wet dream

You can see why

 

[imshally81]

Good shot for 2

 

[CricVet]

The Sarfraz hating brigade should also suggest a better keeper to PCB

 

[Mamoon]

Archer is terrific - give him 2 years and he will take the game by storm. England should play him in all three formats.

 

[Syed1]

Should send Asif and Imad next

 

[imshally81]

Clever Shot

 

[Hasan123]

He never said what you said.

Keep on being a PCB apologist.

Even if he didn't say it, we have been saying the same thing for 2 years and he has hardly shown any sign of improving. That is very worrying.

I can remember Joe Root having similar issues in 2013 CT , but over time he has improved the ability to accelerate.

 

[mak36]

England bowling pace to Haris

 

[Titan24]

Archer is must for Eng in WC. Always rated him but he is again proving he has some serious talent

 

[babajee]

Even if he didn't say it, we have been saying the same thing for 2 years and he has hardly shown any sign of improving. That is very worrying.

)

 

[imshally81]

13 runz
Another big over..

 

[Slim]

Harris and Bobby are just pure class.

 

[Chokli]

The Sarfraz hating brigade should also suggest a better keeper to PCB

haha the only way sarfraz lovers can justify him being in the team.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Archer is terrific - give him 2 years and he will take the game by storm. England should play him in all three formats.

The pace and then the variation control is great. He needs to back more on his stock deliveries.

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Haris outplayed Babar here!!

 

[topspin]

Both of you need to learn to read:

"If I can be No.1 in the world [on the MRF Tyres ICC T20I Rankings for batting] without power hitting, then I don't need power hitting," he said. "But when I need to, I utilise it well. I don't just play along the ground. I practice hitting the ball big and when needed, I use it. My role is to play out the full overs. My individual role is to take the innings as deep as I can and perform in a way that benefits the team most of all."

"If I can be No.1 in the world [on the MRF Tyres ICC T20I Rankings for batting] without power hitting, then I don't need power hitting".

Enough said. If there's anyone who needs to learn to read, it's you.

 

[Titan24]

Archer is terrific - give him 2 years and he will take the game by storm. England should play him in all three formats.

He struggled with back injuries few years ago if he is fit and available could be really good in tests as well

 

[Syed1]

Sami level bowler lag raha hai mughay to Teer-kumaar

 

[Titan24]

Haris should pay over Malik anyday and even Malik will admit that who always rated him since Sialkot Stallions days

 

[Slim]

Haris should pay over Malik anyday

Should not be even a question to begin with!

 

[CricVet]

haha the only way sarfraz lovers can justify him being in the team.

What lover? You got some phobias kid. I love only cricket while you on the other hand are trolling here. Suggest a better keeper

 

[mak36]

Keep on being a PCB apologist.

Even if he didn't say it, we have been saying the same thing for 2 years and he has hardly shown any sign of improving. That is very worrying.

I can remember Joe Root having similar issues in 2013 CT , but over time he has improved the ability to accelerate.

So you admit to making up things to suit your agenda then?

According to you telling the truth is being an apologist? Calm down Trump.

 

[Chokli]

What lover? You got some phobias kid. I love only cricket while you on the other hand are trolling here. Suggest a better keeper

if you loved cricket you'd know how awful sarfraz is.

 

[Mamoon]

He struggled with back injuries few years ago if he is fit and available could be really good in tests as well

Archer and Curran brothers are massive additions to the English setup to complement Stokes.

If they can find one world class specialist batsman for Tests (maybe Pope would be that player), they have all the ingredients to be a top 2 team in all formats for years.

 

[Syed1]

Slow over so far

 

[Titan24]

Should not be even a question to begin with!

Cant say anything for sure with this team management.

 

[Hasan123]

So you admit to making up things to suit your agenda then?

According to you telling the truth is being an apologist? Calm down Trump.

Post 292 is the quote.

You are an apologist. I didn't make anything up. The title of the thread is hin saying he doesn't need power hitting.

 

[Syed1]

Slow over so far

Spoke too soon

 

[Gullycricket]

Tbh i feel this Archer guy is way way overrated

 

[CricVet]

if you loved cricket you'd know how awful sarfraz is.

Again sarfraz hater; Who is the better keeper?

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Haris Sohail so underrated here. This guy is so good to watch!

 

[Zeshan547]

Just swap Imam with Hafeez, and we have an okyish batting for next year world T20, what you think guys?

 

[babajee]

Not just that [MENTION=142670]mak36[/MENTION] is also a shameless Sarfraz cheerleader

He speaks with logic and facts unlike you guys.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

So will both batsmen slow down before their 50s or only one of them?

Thats the quiz for today.

 

[mak36]

He's a PCB apologist. The title of thread said he doesn't need power hitting lol .

So you only read titles? [MENTION=143344]babajee[/MENTION] look at this idiocy.

And since when did what he said equate to "not wanting to improve his acceleration game" which is what you said he said?

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

I see some losers have again polluted the thread.

Aisay fans sai dushman he behtar hain.

 

[babajee]

So you only read titles? [MENTION=143344]babajee[/MENTION] look at this idiocy.

And since when did what he said equate to "not wanting to improve his acceleration game" which is what you said he said?

Man, don't waste your breath.

 

[Chokli]

Again sarfraz hater; Who is the better keeper?

sarfraz lover; why can't you use his performances to justify his place in the side?

 

[Abdullah]

Harris and Bobby are just pure class.

Harris power game is better than babar

 

[Hasan123]

So you only read titles? [MENTION=143344]babajee[/MENTION] look at this idiocy.

And since when did what he said equate to "not wanting to improve his acceleration game" which is what you said he said?

If someone says I don't need power hitting what does that mean to you ? It means they want to improve in that facet ?

 

[Shaddy86]

Impressive running between the wicket. Putting folders under pressure, very unlike Pakistani batsmen.

 

[Syed1]

Need to be 110 by the 12th over. Then in the last 8 we can target 80

 

[Slim]

Pakistan's RR in last five overs is 11.0

"lADieS & genTlEmEn, nUmBA 1 t3aM 4 yOU"

^ SHARAM KARO, THORI HAYA KARO

 

[topspin]

He speaks with logic and facts unlike you guys.

Logics and facts are not synonymous of you as a poster - evident from your choice of hero.

 

[Hasan123]

People polluting this thread with their garbage

Sarfraz is better than Akmal. That's all you care about .
