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

[ARK Rafay]

Denly is chucking pies here.

How is he considered a 6th bowler?

 

[Chokli]

UA should first take batting seriously. A pathetic slogger and a pathetic individual no wonder you support such characters

He's better than Sarfraz Ahmed who can't slog yet tries to

 

[Gullycricket]

Great going Imam 4

 

[babajee]

Hope Imam can bat deep here and get a ~150 type score.

 

[HGhazanfar]

Honestly not a fan of the selfish Imam, but all honesty he has played well today, considering hes striking at 100 with wickets falling.

 

[Green Patriot]

Shaba Imam.
Great innings so far mashaAllah.

 

[Gullycricket]

Imam on fire

 

[Plumb]

He's better than Sarfraz Ahmed who can't slog yet tries to

Lol when u can’t defend the useless slogger you bring comparison.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Liam Dawson over Joe denly

 

[x_KINGKHAN_x]

Imam playing a gem

 

[Chokli]

[MENTION=148442]Farhan93[/MENTION]

Pathetic Imam, how dare he score runs for the team.

 

[AdamM97]

Rizwan played 5 matches against Australia and scoref 2 centuries. The rest of the matvhes since 2018 have been played by Sarfraz and he has only had 1 half century. How can people even compare Rizwan with Sarfraz. Sarfraz is better at keeping tho but his batting is horrible.

 

[Titan24]

Imam playing a gem here, ideally should go till the end.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Imam striking it over 100 SR

I can't believe mah eyes!!!

 

[AdamM97]

I hope Imam continues to play responsibly after he gets a century. He becomes impulsive right after he hits 100.

 

[mak36]

How is he considered a 6th bowler?

He's a top order batsman who provides a useful bowling option but England want to turn him into Rashid

 

[Kianig89]

This s a Mickey mouse ground par score should be 350 will we get there

 

[Chokli]

All Asif Ali has to do is not play like Umar Akmal and his place is settled.

 

[ARK Rafay]

He's a top order batsman who provides a useful bowling option but England want to turn him into Rashid

As usual. Lack of quality spinners

 

[HGhazanfar]

Rizwan played 5 matches against Australia and scoref 2 centuries. The rest of the matvhes since 2018 have been played by Sarfraz and he has only had 1 half century. How can people even compare Rizwan with Sarfraz. Sarfraz is better at keeping tho but his batting is horrible.

Mate RIzwan is a better keeper aswell

 

[Pete Rose]

Imam has to stay till the end. Sounds ridic, but it needs to be done

 

[Rana]

Imam has been amazing. Totally surprised

 

[Markhor]

Not sure how long Asif Ali can restrain himself.

 

[W63L35]

END OF OVER:30 | 9 Runs | PAK: 183/4 | RR: 6.10


Doubling the 30 score, Pakistan should score @366 runs today?

 

[Plumb]

Need a 50 run partnership between these 2 a score below 330 and we in trouble

 

[Gullycricket]

Risky running

 

[Boi]

How is Denly in the side ahead of Dawson?

All on Asif Ali now whether we get up to 350 or not.

 

[Tiger96]

A geniune question:

When was the last time Sarfraz got a 50. Can anyone check?

64 against NZ in UAE in November last year.

 

[Gullycricket]

Waiting for from Imam

 

[Titan24]

END OF OVER:30 | 9 Runs | PAK: 183/4 | RR: 6.10


Doubling the 30 score, Pakistan should score @366 runs today?

Not much wickets in hand though

 

[Pete Rose]

From what I understand Imam is not very popular on the forum... ahem.

 

[Plumb]

Imam has been amazing. Totally surprised

Seriously? He always puts a heavy prize on his wicket yes takes his time but makes up for it

 

[iPakistani]

Imam stealing a single off the field, excellent cricketing brain.

 

[IAJ]

Hopefully this is not a 450 runs wicket.

 

[Sher Khan]

Don't want to jinx but asif Alis defensive technique looks to have improved

 

[iPakistani]

Imam has been amazing. Totally surprised

Fair play to you bro, atleast you admit it unlike these other posters.

 

[Pete Rose]

I think Sarfaraz has batted well in both games.... by his standard

 

[ARK Rafay]

These next 5 overs will decide the target

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Need 330 but could easily be 270 280.

This a 400 ground today.

 

[Mp812]

92 of 87...ImamBhai replying to critics with the bat

 

[topspin]

[MENTION=147314]topspin[/MENTION]

Man, it's too bad Umar Akmal had no interest in keeping.

He'd be better than the phattu we have now.

And it's too bad Kamran Akmal can't catch

Rizwan is being missed

Couldn't agree more.

Either Rizwan or Umar Akmal should be keeping and occupying the number 5 spot with Imad as captain.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Hopefully this is not a 450 runs wicket.

No way England can even score 400 without Buttler

 

[QalandarFan]

Just checked the scorecard what the heck is up with Babar in ODI’s these days, how’d he get out?

 

[Chokli]

Need 330 but could easily be 270 280.

This a 400 ground today.

Babar, Haris, Sarfraz to be blamed.

 

[ahmed16]

Imam quite clearly deserves his place in the side on merit, doesn't have any glaring flaws in his technique and showing today he can up the ante when required. He might be Inzis nephew but his performances have been decent, deserves the World Cup spot.

 

[IAJ]

Just hope, Imam celebrates like Fakhar and and don’t come up with new signs etc to his critics, if he reaches hundred.

 

[Chokli]

Couldn't agree more.

Either Rizwan or Umar Akmal should be keeping and occupying the number 5 spot with Imad as captain.

Kami would have enjoyed these batting conditions.

 

[topspin]

No problem with Asif Ali taking a few overs to get his eye in because he has the game to bat in 6th gear and go berserk once set.

Having said that, I would have preferred Imad in now.

 

[Gullycricket]

Just replace Faheem with Hafeez and we got a great 11

 

[PakPremi]

Good responsible knock by Sarfraz,. Unlucky to miscue on the ball that deserved that shot. For me two good consecutive knocks from Sarfraz shows his form is returning His keeping has always been good.

 

[NauV]

Still 19 overs left . . we may not even bat the 50 . .
Still can't believe the shot that sarfaraz played

 

[Asif321]

Big test for Asif here he can book his place in WC today

 

[Gullycricket]

But surprised by our Batting which has been above par while our bowling has been really bad

 

[Mainul]

Where are the Imam haters and Sarfraz lovers? Need a cave to hide?

 

[Green Patriot]

We need 350 atleast.

The ground is small,the pitch is easy and our bowling attack is woeful.
Probably wont get it though unless Asif goes berserk.

 

[topspin]

Kami would have enjoyed these batting conditions.

As awful as Kamaran is with the gloves there's no doubt he's the superior bat when it comes to batting. From of all the Pakistani keepers, Sarfraz isn't even in the top 3 as a batsman.

When he indulged in racial remarks with South Africa's Andile, that was the ideal time to show him the door and take him back to where he belongs - Karachi Streets!

 

[Mainul]

We need 350 atleast.

The ground is small,the pitch is easy and our bowling attack is woeful.

Yes. Less than it, no chance

 

[Titan24]

Just checked the scorecard what the heck is up with Babar in ODI’s these days, how’d he get out?

Got a good one from Woakes, ball nipped back in after pitching

 

[Plumb]

Kami would have enjoyed these batting conditions.

You can make your 11 with farhat kami UA Rizwan ..will be a nice loser 11..

 

[HGhazanfar]

Gonna be interesting to see how Asif Ali approaches this considering many overs still to go.

 

[JibranAnsari]

imam ul haq is doing very well for a selectors nephew , averaging 60 now.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Bang!

 

[QalandarFan]

Need to go 10/ over from here if we wanna win.

 

[Rana]

Thank God for that 6!

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Imam will score a 100.

280 will be the total.

England will win by 7 wickets.

What about WC final? Who will win?

 

[Pete Rose]

They are going at 6 an over. Just need to be a little bit smart
*next three wickets fall in a cluster*

 

[Boi]

Someone get Asif Ali a better bat

 

[HGhazanfar]

Hoping Junaid is able to bowl back around his prime pace 137-140kph.

 

[mrtaim3]

Asif Ali is a proper batsman. I don't know why does he play risky shots.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Asif hits it high. Almost every of his six goes high

 

[Asif321]

Sarfraz got out at wrong time lot of spin was on the way for him

 

[Gullycricket]

^666666

 

[QalandarFan]

Big shot from Asif Buttler

 

[Pete Rose]

He scooped it a bit. But all’s well that ends well

 

[Gullycricket]

Asif has improved a lot

 

[Ilan Bluestone]

Spectacular innings by Imam. Hope he takes us home.

 

[silentkiller187]

Imam forgot to read the perchi, you are meant to get a free ride, not prove time and again your merit in this team.

 

[Pete Rose]

Spectacular innings by Imam. Hope he takes us home.

Has to bat looong well beyond the century if he gets it

 

[QalandarFan]

Got a good one from Woakes, ball nipped back in after pitching

Oh I see he still needs to get a big one in this series, his form in this format has been worrying.

 

[HGhazanfar]

Don't know why but with Asif Ali you have the feeling that he can be a great batsmen, he seems like a calm and humble character aswell that probably has good work ethic.
