What's new

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

0 - 20 Overs - 150 runs
21 - 30 Overs - 70 runs
31 - 40 Overs - 70 runs
41 - 50 Overs - 110 runs

150 + 70 + 70 + 110 = 400 Runs
That should be it.
 
Roy doesn't open in county cricket, he bats in the middle order.

Then again if Keaton Jennings is the alternative...

He slotted up to the top order at the end of last season and for the Lions in the winter.
 
Why is Imad not bowling, same for Shoaib Malik, what good is he if he cant bowl when we need on dry wickets.
 
Is the wicket supposed to turn a bit considering Yasir is playing over Junaid and Hasnain?
 
340+ score. And Pakistan to bundle out for 210. The body language is the players is horrible.
 
Imad’s average is poor, but his job is too bowl 10 dry overs which he does very consistently.

Shadab is bigger issue with his average of almost 40 against non-minnows, even though he is supposed to be our main wicket-taking spinner in ODIs.
 
His memory isn't doing well I think. Even Afridi has hitted over extra cover. Heck I remember even Anwar Ali hitting it once.

A short wide bouncer going for 6 over extra cover? Never seen Afridi do that. Those type of deliveries are normally hit over square or 3rd man.
 
Why does it seem like Sarfraz doesn’t like Hasan?

It all began in New Zealand 2018.
 
imad is the one who messes up the balance of this team..he is never going to take wickets yet has to bowl 10 overs

Hope Shadab concentrate on his bowling rather than his showbazi
 
Our Bowling line-up needs to be

Amir
Hasan
Shaheen
Shadab
Imad
Hafeez

Imad is not good enough to bowl 10 overs against top teams in my opinion, therefore Hafeez’s role in the squad is very important.

No place for Rana Sobers? :faheem
 
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.

The batch of Duke balls they're going to use this summer will be the same as last year's and they swung prodigiously. Not sure if Roy is compact or disciplined enough outside off stump but given the lack of alternatives, it's worth considering.
 
350 + has been scored only once on this ground. Rose Bowl is not as bad as that Trent Bridge motorway. Some decent bowling should see PAK restricting England to around 320.
 
Could be Yasir’s last game on tour, if he he doesn’t get his length
 
Pakistan will be in big, big trouble if they don’t pick up a few wickets soon. England has got off to a good start so far.
 
If there's a rule change I could introduce to ODI cricket, it'd be using the white Dukes instead of the Kookaburra.

Don't mind flat pitches for ODIs but at least give bowlers a chance with a good quality ball.
 
Moeen and Stokes haven't been at their best for a while and Roy doesn't look very comfortable out there either. English batting is reliant on Bairstow,Root,Morgan and Buttler.
 
Have restricted England pretty well so far, but England still going at 5.5 an over.
 
Sometimes I feel like England are overly aggressive. On a pitch which is not dead, England can really struggle.
 
Why isn't hasan given new ball??
Even though he bowled beautifully in psl with new ball and always picks wicket upfront
 
Sarfaraz plan is always to restrict runs not picking up wickets..
And always tries to cover up the overs of pseudo allrounders

Because Faheem Ashraf is the second coming of Wasim Akram so it would be a travesty to not give him the new ball.

Saeed Ajmal was the last spinner played for Pakistan who had a List A bowling avg of under 30. Shadab just had experience of 12 list A matches while Imad avgs 35, Nawaz and Yasir avg 34 with the bowl in List A. On top of that we didnt try anybody with decent experience and avg in List A in last few years.
 
Guys I am not so giod when it comes to cricketing strategies. Whats the benefit of replacing an injired fast bowler with a leg spinner instead of another pacer?
 
Pakistan's whole mindset is containment. You don't win games that way any more.

No one willing or allowed to pitch the ball up. This is sorry to see.
 
Today there are 2 main bowlers rest are pseudo bowlers. It would be crime for england if they dont score min 375
 
We deserve this trashing for selecting Faheem Klusenser and Yasir Warne

Even Shaheen I noticed was bowling back of a length today, wonder who’s master plan this is.

This is why I want Azhar to be sacked as bowling coach in place of Waqar.
 
We lost to a an average Aussie side 5-0 in uae

We are now playing the very best in their back yard

Always going to be another whitewash

How is that restricting? :)))

Contradicting yourself.

With no wicket down, this is a great start. Easily 300+ on the cards.
 
England will be shivering at the prospect of facing Yair Warne,,, Such is the nature of the beast.
