England vs Pakistan | 3rd T20I | Manchester | Sep 1, 2020 | Pakistan innings

[Firebat]

Shadab put out of his misery

 

[Third Man]

Shadab is not a T20 batter. He might be a PSL basher but he can't time a fast bowler to save his life.

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

MoHa deserves a century.. sublime innings and easily the best batsman on show from our side this tour

 

[We Bleed Green]

Really poor choice to send Shadab before Imad and Wahab

 

[QalandarFan]

Send wahab now

Agreed lol!

 

[ahmadharis1]

It was a fair experiment bringing in Shadab... shame it didnt play out

 

[adil79]

Good experiment shadab lol

 

[ARK Rafay]

Hahaha

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Dropped lol

 

[Darkness]

Shadab should be moved up the ladder in one days rather than t20.Its just not his zone to smack the ball from first ball

 

[watson367]

Finally shadab is gone

 

[ahmadharis1]

lucky break for Imad lmaoo

 

[Markhor]

Good riddance.

Only in Pakistan is the definition of an all-rounder is being mediocre in both departments.

 

[Firebat]

Imad nearly golden duck. What are armchair Imad loving experts saying now

 

[Kenpachi]

When a glorified tail-ender like Shadab is batting at number 5, you don’t need to say anything more about the state of batting in Pakistan.

He is an intelligent batter who can manipulate the field. I think the decisoon to bring him in was to keep the runs ticking over

 

[Mamoon]

Shadab is not a T20 batter. He might be a PSL basher but he can't time a fast bowler to save his life.

He has a strike rate of 65 in ODIs. He is not a batsman at all.

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

Tom Curran, Gregory, adil.. jeez this isn’t even England c side... hopefully pcb treats the performances appropriately

 

[QalandarFan]

Dropped lol

 

[King_Kohli]

Shadab Khan's T20 numbers in year 2020
Matches 18

Runs 374
Bat Average 46.75
Strike Rate 156.48

Wickets 23
Bowl Average 21.04

 

[Cric_lover4487]

Babar ensuring Sarfaraz doesn't cement his place in T20 side. Pathetic tactic to send Shadab before Sarfaraz.

 

[JibranAnsari]

score will be 193

 

[Rayyman]

See Imad just has more power

 

[watson367]

Rahat Ali would be proud

 

[Omer2002]

We should have start hitting earlier...we cant defend...our keeper hasnt in all matches...this isnt enough at all they have too much power in their batting

 

[QalandarFan]

Hafeez get 20 off this over!

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

Imad >>>>> Shadab in bowling and batting

 

[Markhor]

Shadab should be moved up the ladder in one days rather than t20.Its just not his zone to smack the ball from first ball

Fair point but to be brutally honest with only 120 balls to play with, if you can't hit from ball one then you shouldn't be selected for T20s.

You can't afford to miss out on pitches like this.

 

[Kenpachi]

200 minimum is out of reach. Too many dots and too many singles

 

[AAli98]

Thank goodness night watchman is out b4 close of play. Pathetic imad ahead of pathetic sarfraz and Malik... y oh y are they in the team...

 

[Third Man]

Tom Curran, Gregory, adil.. jeez this isn’t even England c side... hopefully pcb treats the performances appropriately

Adil plays in every LOI England play and Curran has been there in T20s for a while now, and plays pretty regularly.

 

[Kenpachi]

Fair point but to be brutally honest with only 120 balls to play with, if you can't hit from ball one then you shouldn't be selected for T20s.

You can't afford to miss out on pitches like this.

Its strike rate that matters in t20 not always big shots

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

Saqib and Gregory... man England’s bowling stocks have fallen

 

[sharmaji]

I think you're overestimating Shadab. His timing was poor, he looked totally lost.

He is an intelligent batter who can manipulate the field. I think the decisoon to bring him in was to keep the runs ticking over

 

[taqi]

Should have send Imad earlier to use short boundary with lefty

 

[King_Kohli]

Excellent spell from Jordan, 2 for 29 from 4 overs - he will get a good partner at the other end with Jofra in the next series.

 

[ahmed16]

Decision to send Shadab Khan has cost us the match, he literally took the wind out of this innings, just like Ifti on Sunday.

Don't think Shadab was the best option when you have Imad, Sarfaraz and even Malik in the hut.

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

Its strike rate that matters in t20 not always big shots

Fair enough but Saqib and Gregory are disgraceful bowlers!

 

[Darkrai]

Sarfraz is always hidding behind even tail-enders but now Malik is doing the same lol

 

[sharmaji]

Get to 200

 

[Mamoon]

Abysmal batting by Pakistan. It is not acceptable to be only 4 down at the end of the first innings in a T20 game.

We should have added 15-20 more.

 

[castortroy]

25 runs short

 

[sweep_shot]

187/4.

2 more balls to go.

 

[JibranAnsari]

amir made a great decision of getting injured in the last match.

 

[hb787]

Saqib and Gregory... man England’s bowling stocks have fallen

And hired Azhar Mahmood for bowling coach. Lol

 

[Kenpachi]

Has anyone seen Pakistan deliberately use the shorter boundary aside from the one shot Shadab played?

 

[QalandarFan]

Abysmal batting by Pakistan. It is not acceptable to be only 4 down at the end of the first innings in a T20 game.

We should have added 15-20 more.

Thing is had we lost more wickets we would have scored 20-25 less than what we’re at right now.

 

[castortroy]

The weakest middle to lower order batting order in cricket

 

[ahmadharis1]

30 runs short on this pitch. England will chase this down easy

 

[RyanRyan10]

Malik didn't bat so he can't be dropped.

Will bash Zim & secure his place

 

[ARK Rafay]

Is Azam Khan a good enough WK for T20s? I think we should select him from now on in that format.

 

[castortroy]

Easy for England

 

[ammar_merry]

Has anyone seen Pakistan deliberately use the shorter boundary aside from the one shot Shadab played?

All hafeez sixes apart from 2.

 

[castortroy]

Short boundary. 30 runs short

Morgan will murder this total again

 

[King_Kohli]

39-year-old Mohammad Hafeez: 86*
19-year-old Haider Ali: 54
