What's new

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

Even Pakistani batsmen will get 60 runs of Yasir in 10 overs.
 
I don’t want to complain too much but it’s shocking how Yasir gets to play despite his horrendous perfomances against Australia and the practice matches against county clubs. Somethings not right with the management.
 
Great bowling by Yasir!!! Hopefully he will give up 130+ runs to justify his selection.
 
Surely there must be one good off spin bowler in Pakistan?

Baffled by the persistent selection of Yasir shah

Best right arm offie is Bilal Asif but he's a defensive option, not a wicket taker.
 
Yasir setting the foundations for his ton. Can he convert his start though ?
 
6 out of 6 short balls from yasir . . that is why he has not been able to bowl well in ODis . . cuz he tries to ball quickly and he loses his line . . and there's no sane voice out there who can tell him this . . look at how kuldeep bowls . . or adil rashid . . yasir is no imran tahir . . you need to slow it up . . give it flight . . and give it time to spin . . you'll get hit but you'll be more dangerous
 
Keep bowling short, Yasir. See where that gets you.

Idiot.
 
Would have been better off playing Malik over Yasir and bowling 10 overs between him, Haris and Fakhar
 
Mohammad Amir situation update:
He is suffering from a throat infection and has fever.
I don’t expect him to take further part in the series. Viral infection takes 2 weeks to heal completely.
 
Yasir Shah wasn’t even preferred over Hasan Khan in Lahore Qalandars yet Inzi somehow decided he’s our second best spinner in LOI.
 
never enjoyed a phainty to Pak bowler, but Yasir make me do so in One days,,,, I mean such clueless decision is nothing shirt of crime.

Australia series was the perfect time to try out others..

The selections have been criminal..
Honestly I am seething 😡
 
Best captain since Imran Khan doesn’t know how to utilize Yasir either. He is not a container, but he brought him on too late to take wickets.

Even if he flukes a few wickets here, I think the damage is done. The match is pretty much over.
 
I bet if Yasir gives 500+ runs in 4 games and Shadab is injured the management will keep Yasir for World Cup.

Word is that Imran Khan wanted him. He also got that sitara/medal recently, and someone high in the government really loves him.

He's not going anywhere.

Lol what a pessimist. Let’s hope for the best despite Yasir Shah’s inclusion.
 
I am positive now that Yasir Shah is playing because of a sifarish of someone high up and if that's not the case, this whole management needs to be sacked.
 
Why can't the management just accept that Yasir is only suited to test matches in uae. Its like they are in complete denial
 
He is misfit in all formats, doesn’t have stength to bowl fuller.

He’s also put on weight and his fielding, which was excellent a couple of years ago, has gone down hill.
 
This team is overkill for Pakistan by a mile. England should have played their B team like other teams did against us and still won
 
Keep bowling short, Yasir. See where that gets you.

Idiot.

Why do they keep selecting Yasir Shah? Do we not have any decent LOI wrist spinner in a big cricket loving nation like Pakistan. This is getting embarrassing now seeing him bowl and getting hit all over the place. Looks like he is down in confidence also. Will this effect Yasir the test bowler also???
 
Yasir Shah being selected reminds me of Nasir Jamsheeds selection for 2015 worls cup

Or worse yet, Yasir Shah's selection for the 2015 WC. Yes, it was just as bad then too, but for some reason, 4 years on, the Revolutionary has selected Yasir for maintaining a splendid average of 47.

Sifrash of Imran Khan I heard
 
The ridiculous thing is. . it is soooo simple what's wrong with yasir in ODIs . . he bowls too flat and too quick! and he loses his line that way .. and the more he gets hit, the flatter he goes . .

He tries to follow the Imran Tahir style of bowling . . but neitehr does he have the skiddiness or Imran Tahir nor the varities . .

He needs to slow it up and flight it . . I can guarantee better results!
 
A belter of a pitch here and yasir getting hammered again isn't much of a surprise. Imad has bowled well and faheem done OK. I think junaid should be playing here, he is a tight, controlled bowler.

If that is the case then bring Martial law to the country..
 
Our only hope of taking a wicket is if either of these two get bored. Best captain since Imran is out of ideas.
 
Atherton raised some excellent points regarding Yasir. Saying wicket to wicket is good for test cricket but in ODI you dont want that and also when you cant spin it both ways. First commy to actually discuss the reason of Yasir failures rather than going round and round.

He's talking nonsense unless he was talking about wrist spinners specifically. Imad Wasim bowls wicket to wicket and is successful on LOIs.
 
If he learns to break it as well. It will be deadly. With the same arm speed. It will be extremely difficult to react to either a straight arm bowl or an off break

Wonder what is the thought process behind our bowling. I can't help but think Imad is in the team to deliver 10 overs for 40 runs which makes Pakistan happy. Don't worry about wickets, just contain.
 
You know what I miss about Pakistani teams of old? The killer and aggressive mentality. Keeping the slips and swing bowlers bowling a full and probing length to look for the edge or lbw. Now it looks like we are happy to bowl length and let them take single and doubles and we don’t go for wickets. Look at hasan. Bowling length ball after length. Why was he successful two years ago? Full off cutters that helped him get bowled and lbw. He is just a defensive option now. Sarfaraz removes slips after three overs. Imad got an edge in his first over but there was no slip.

That’s what I miss about our great bowling teams at f the past!
 
playing yasir shah in odis will kill his confidence in tests also , horrible decision by team management.
 
I dunno, Imran Khan often preaches about meritocracy. Why would he force Inzi to pick Yasir? Surely a legend like Imran can see what a joke Yasir is in LOI.

Imran doesn’t practice what he preaches.

#MeToo
 
Muhammad Nawaz, Umer Khan, Bilal Asif. There were so many replacements for Shadab....
 
Finally some sense got in after that phainty.

Now please don't be too predictable. Bowl a googly or two

It's sad that even a team like England outguns us in the spin department. Never thought I'd see that day.
 
Pakistan should try something different and send Asif Buttler at 3 or 4 today.

Slows it down a touch . . pitches it up! already has a better over . . slow it down even more!! Go closer to the Kuldeep and Rashid mode of bowling
 
If that is the case then bring Martial law to the country..

It's not that bad. :usman

The same way IK wanted Younis selected for 2015 World Cup. And got him in.

Maybe Yasir reminds him of what Mushtaq did in 92, but it's too late now.
 
Spin is always the way to go against non Asian teams . Yasir needs confidence . Pitches this summer will be very good for spinners .
 
Yasir improves with a few overs.. point is will he get aggressive fields?

What’s a leggie without a slip or two? Seriously!
 
He's talking nonsense unless he was talking about wrist spinners specifically. Imad Wasim bowls wicket to wicket and is successful on LOIs.

Imad is successful in T20s but not in ODIs where while he can contain, he's not penetrative enough.
 
I hope Shaheen will not be bowling pies at 80 mph in the World Cup.
