England vs Pakistan | 3rd ODI | Bristol | May 14th, 2019 | Pakistan Innings

[Titan24]

PSL was not a given. It was/is a tool. How well it is used is dependant on the management.

Also plenty of non PSL players have played under Mickey.

But we havent seen this tool in the hand of any other coach so there is no one to compare with mickey in terms of using it as a tool.

 

[AdamM97]

Replace Asif for Malik and Amir for Faheem id Amir is in form.

 

[Green Patriot]

Now People starting to criticize Babar . Actually Babar has started to change his attitude And Approach .he Plays Run A Ball Often Strike rate higher then 100 now .
It will take time but He Is Getting better .Just have a patience

Nobody is criticizing Babar.
He is still arguably our best batsman and he is highly rated on PP so stop making up stuff.
However he does get out on nothing shots (today was a fairly good delivery though) and he needs to address that or else he will lose his confidence and his performance will deteriorate which is evident by his steadily decreasing average.

 

[Asif321]

Faheem won’t do anything
Imad is only hope after this

 

[Rana]

Stay in your crease immy!

 

[Pete Rose]

England strategy this games seems to be a lot of slow ball bouncers

 

[Plumb]

Asif Ali needs to launch some sixes now

Easy!!! 12 overs to go no need to take unnecessary risk. I have no faith in Imad and Faheem

 

[ARK Rafay]

Imam going out of his book. Overdoing

 

[topspin]

Hopefully Faheem won't be needed today but how many runs can we expect from him today? He has no excuses with the platform set from Imam and co.

 

[Rana]

Imam please get off strike!

 

[Plumb]

Faheem won’t do anything
Imad is only hope after this

I rather have hope in Hasan

 

[Angrez Pakistani]

This is where England win against Pakistan. Their fielding makes all the difference.

 

[Gullycricket]

No need for this

 

[Mueez]

We need Imam to carry his bat, no need to overdo it!

 

[QalandarFan]

Undoubtedly he was the best bowling coach we had.

For real, I mean when a bowling combo of Rahat, Wahab, Irfan, and Sohail Khan are considered one of the best in the world cup you know you have a good coach on your hands.

Here Azhar instead of developing these fantastic prospects like Hasnain, and Shaheen is doing nothing.

 

[Rana]

Good over by Woakes

 

[Plumb]

Thank God its over... Not sure why Imam getting impatient. You have done great so far no need for these shots

 

[ARK Rafay]

England switched plans now. Trying to contain mow with slower balls

 

[imshally81]

 

[Plumb]

Beautiful Imam.......4444444444

 

[Rana]

Shot Imam keep going my boy!

 

[Asif321]

Highest ODI score for Imam

 

[QalandarFan]

Finally

 

[imshally81]

 

[mak36]

"rational" shot )

 

[Rana]

Finally!!!

 

[Gullycricket]

Sensible batting

 

[ARK Rafay]

Gone!!! Insane Hitting.

The best/cleanest hitter to play for Pakistan

 

[marlonbrowndo]

“Rational shot” )

 

[QalandarFan]

100 in the last 10, Anyone?

 

[Asif321]

Asif throwing Malik out of team
Malik must be nervous watching Asif

 

[Markhor]

Say it quietly but is Asif Ali learning how to construct an innings ?

 

[zn426]

Gone!!! Insane Hitting.

The best/cleanest hitter to play for Pakistan

Little early for that my friend. Abdul Razzaq was pretty good as a finisher.

 

[QalandarFan]

“Rational shot” )

) Waqar is gold even better than Rameez!!!!!

And wow Asif

 

[Gullycricket]

Everything falling in place for us in batting before WC

 

[Plumb]

Glad to see Asif waiting for bad balls... a changed batsmen in last 2 games

 

[AdamM97]

Say it quietly but is Asif Ali learning how to construct an innings ?

You bet he is.

 

[Asif321]

Ramiz Raja was spot on before this series
Asif should play even if you drop Malik for him

 

[Stewie]

It will take a monumental performance to get malik out.. he has weaseled his way through nearly two decades in the team

 

[coy0607]

Waqar still with the typical 90's mentality - go easy for another 4-5 overs

 

[Rana]

Double ton on here?

 

[ARK Rafay]

Little early for that my friend. Abdul Razzaq was pretty good as a finisher.

I said cleanest hitter. Not finisher

 

[Chokli]

Everything falling in place for us in batting before WC

It is the pitches, UAE is not for us.

 

[mak36]

) Waqar is gold even better than Rameez!!!!!

And wow Asif

In fairness don't mind the occasional error, because Waqar actually provides some insight.

 

[Plumb]

Say it quietly but is Asif Ali learning how to construct an innings ?

me think so!!!

 

[Titan24]

Everything falling in place for us in batting before WC

Bowling needs to come good today as its been horrible for sometime

 

[Gullycricket]

Lets see how favorites Eng respond under pressure

 

[QalandarFan]

Gone!!! Insane Hitting.

The best/cleanest hitter to play for Pakistan

Abdul Razzaq is still the best finisher we had, don't know how people forget about him.

 

[Cryptic]

OMG! What a shot Asif.

 

[Mueez]

Double ton on here?

He deserves it.

Btw a ton coming up here for Asif?

 

[AdamM97]

Waqar still with the typical 90's mentality - go easy for another 4-5 overs

I agree with Waqar. If one or two wickets fall before the 45th over. Pakistan will get out before rhe 48th over.

 

[Green Patriot]

Rational shot )

 

[Asif321]

Guess it’s Abid Ali who will make way for Asif
Hafeez will be 3rd opener

 

[Rana]

Woakes too good for Imam

 

[mak36]

Everything falling in place for us in batting before WC

Bowling seems more of a worry atm...

 

[topspin]

I know Haris Sohail missed out on a 50, but it would be so unjust if we drop him and Asif Ali just to make way for the senior duo of Malik and Hafeez.

 

[zn426]

You bet he is.

He struck at 96 the first 25 balls, now he's gotten his eye in and he's accelerated the run rate,18 off the last 10.

 

[Rana]

He deserves it.

Btw a ton coming up here for Asif?

Hard to call

 

[silentkiller187]

if one of these go now we won't get to 300 aim for 80-90 of the last 10 this is achievable by playing sensibly then who knows what extra will come

 

[Pete Rose]

England running out of time to bowl their overs

 

[Kroll]

Scary part about this line up is that 1 more wicket and we're into Sarfaraz . .
And another wicket, we're into Asif . . . . . . .

We need Hafeez!

Forget Hafeez!

 

[Badsha]

Inzi junior ftw

 

[topspin]

360-370 on the cards if they can make 100+ off the last 10 overs

 

[Veteran]

Nice partnership building. Looking at a big score here. I wont ever say anything negative about Imam. Great performance after losing early wickets.

 

[Gullycricket]

Please dont send Faheem next

 

[Plumb]

Right on Waqar... Pak build innings after losing wickets

 

[Rana]

Woakes the pick of the bowlers so far

 

[ARK Rafay]

Abdul Razzaq is still the best finisher we had, don't know how people forget about him.

v

I said cleanest hitter. Not finisher

 

[Pete Rose]

Woakes is bowling quite well here

 

[GreenKhan]

Asif has shown that he has the ability to build an innings and not slog blindly from ball one .

He can be a vital asset for us at number 6. He needs to get in the final 15 instead of Malik .

 

[imshally81]

 

[Amirforpresident]

Malik would not have been able to hit a six like that even if his life depended on it

 

[the Great Khan]

100 in the last 10, Anyone?

in the 90's we used to do that pretty often with moin and wasim etc coming in..I think realistically 70 odd

 

[Rana]

Asif should be in the 15. period

 

[Plumb]

What a Shot Asif....

 

[MMHS]

PAK might score 361 again and they'll need it today!!! Seriously, ODI cricket in UK is becoming a net session for batsmen. 350 scores here and there isn't bad, but if teams start to score 350+ with 3-4 wickets to bowlers' credit, it's quite demoralizing for bowlers.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Shaba Asif Shaba. Finish the game and score a ton

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Asix

 

[Mueez]

Oye hoye!

Asif my god!

 

[zn426]

Have to give some credit to Woakes, everyone but him is getting bashed....and as I write this Asif hits him for a six too.
