England vs Pakistan | 2nd T20I | Manchester | Aug 30, 2020 | Pakistan innings

If its between Hafeez and Malik, i would pick Hafeez any day, always have.
 
Havent seen Zeeshan Malik’s game against spin. Ashraf looked decent and Haider has been okay as well I guess. Surely Zeeshan Ashraf can be tried as a keeper in T20s

Zeeshan Malik is the best I have seen since Hafeez and Malik who can use his feet and hit down the ground against spinners.
 
Hafeez needs to pick up the pace here, can’t be going at under a run a ball when Babar is already batting just above a run a ball.
 
I swear the amount of times I’ve seen Fakhar get out to spinners playing that slog sweep.

He lacks cricketing IQ. After the first 6, he tried the exact same shot on the next 2 balls, against one of the premier T20 spinners.
Rashid adjusted, Fakhar didn't

Disappointing end to what was looking like a promising innings.
 
Rizwan should come at number 8 now in this scenario, he has same problem what we have with sarfi, such a big population and can't find a decent aggressive keeper. what a shame.
 
Now that the T20 has been postponed/cancelled, look at how England are experimenting with their team whereas we got youngster beauties like Hafeez and Malik.

Pakistan need to learn from how England go about succession planning but thanks to Misbah he has boosted the never ending toxic seniority culture.

Couple of youngsters in the middle and a young spinner in either Umer Khan and Zafar Gohar could have been easily tried in this series
 
Class single from Professor ABD himself off the juiciest full toss ever bowled.
 
Babar is pure class. After Yousuf he is one batsman who makes batting looks so easy to me
 
good over this for Pakistan..10 overs already from this over. Wasim is smoking something hot.
 
U cant blame hafeez here for missing out on freebies. He's still a youngsta finding his way into the team
 
Great batting by Babar, scored at a quick pace but never looked like he was slogging

That too, however looks like he has no other shot against the spinners when looking to score boundaries. The bowl was at about 7/8th stump and he’s trying to slog sweep it? If the ball is at the wickets ok I’ll let it slide but the ball is so wide and he’s trying to slog sweep I’ve seen him get out like that too many times. As a spinner when he’s trying to score boundaries you just gotta bowl it wide to get him out honestly.

Its a culture thing as well. In Pak politics you also see that everyone is just thinking about cashing in instead of thinking about future generations. Long term planning is non-existent in Pakistan.
 
Congrats to Hafeez Sobers 2000 T20I runs! It’s been such a pleasure to watch this legend bat over the years and what a shot for the legend to get there!
 
Babar bats at SR of 135 for his 50 without even a sweat
 
Just 8 over remaining 9 wickets in hand, anything less than 200 would be criminal from here on.
 
You could see that the field was being set up for a short ball and there it was, pretty obvious.

England have put on clinic on how to manage players throughout the tour. Changing the team & management entirely from T20 to Tests, experimenting with fresh faces (Crawley) and rotating players (Archer). This is a world class organization run by actual professionals.

They dodged a huge bullet not getting Wasim Khan
 
This English bowling attack is so mediocre lol.

Pak playing the same line up they would play if they somehow reached the WT20 final and England trying out players who are probably at best 3rd/ 4th string :))

Forget England series or WT20 Pak would play this line up even if it is Namibia/ Papu new Guinea

It has to be Shadab, Iftikhar and Imad next in number
 
Rashid has bowled absolute garbage today lmao, everything looks short and fast, not even trying to spin it seems like.

Idk how he’s got 2 wickets smh.

Rashid, Curran, Moen and Jordan have been regulars in Eng T20 squads.
