England vs Pakistan | 2nd ODI | Southampton | May 11, 2019 | England Innings

Shaheen, Babar, Haris and Hasan - only players who play for their nation.
 
Yasir shah - Can’t Bat, Can’t Field, Can’t bowl
In ODI’s. Yes let’s pick him

But but get behind this team. He can't believe his luck. Playing after being forever mediocre in this format.
 
This game will come down to battle of batting line ups, bowling won't play a major part. Pakistani lineup just isn't explosive enough to win on good batting wickets. Especially with the likes of Imam in the line up.
 
For the betterment of Pakistan’s chances in the WC. Faheem needs to get smashed today and in the upcoming matches. Only then maybe he’ll be dropped.
 
Banged it in short went for four— so what shall I do I’ll bang it in short again and goes for 4 again! Logic
 
Bairstow continuing his good form from the IPL. Omnious signs for Pakistan.
 
It's all on the pacers.

This Imad-Yasir combo is not penetrative in ODIs at all. Nobody questions Imad's place in ODIs but his bowling average against top teams is north of 50. And no comments needed on Yasir.

Haris is a better spinner than both. Even Hafeez is.
 
Effective slower full length balls are the only things to counter English batting on flat, even paced tracks. Need to mess up their batsmen's timing.
 
Roy 12 from 22, had it been a pakistani player he would have been attacked by everyone
 
If we take two wickets in this innings it will be an achievement.

A batsman with a career SR of 105 will not be criticized for batting slowly every now and then, since that is not how he usually operates.
 
I don’t understand the logic of Imad Wasim averages 43.68 with the bowl that’s horrific. And has only scored 711 from 43 matches which is an average of 16! What’s going on here
 
Fahim is the most overrated cricketer even if he takes a 5fer today

Don't think that's how averages work for batting. Imad wasim is not a wicket taker but he is a economical bowler.

Don't forget Imad's role is defensive and to stem the flow of runs. His economical bowling is useful for the team, but in order for Pakistan to utilise this to their full advantage, they need a quality attacking spinner. Shadab and Yasir are just not good enough unfortunately.
 
Pathetic team combination, only bowler(Shaheen) who was supposed to do well is going for plenty. Don't know what will we be chasing?

Will take a miraculous innings from Fakhar to make us win today given that Imam gets out early.
 
England should give Roy a chance in Test cricket. He is ready now.

He can make a big difference at the top of the order. Jennings is not good enough.
 
Need bowlers who can take the pitch out of the equation. Too often we look toothless when conditions offer little.
 
Don't care much about the match as long as Faheem is playing in Pakistan team based on his medicore and rubbish bowling.

Roy doesn't open in county cricket, he bats in the middle order.

Then again if Keaton Jennings is the alternative...
 
Remember last year when Faheem was being hyped up as a fast bowler who can consistently bowl 140+. He was always short harmless trundler in my mind from day one, in that QeA final game (a few years ago).

I know he doesn’t, but he can do well as an opener in Test cricket. Jennings Willa be devoured by the Australian pace battery, but Roy has the talent and the confidence to fight fire with fire.
