In the IPL you bowl 4 overs. 2+2 mostly. You give everything. In one dayers you have to bowl 10 overs. Not the same. On flat roads it is even tougher. Apart from that one over he was okay with his bowling.

He is a good bowler with or without IPL bit not next wonder on earth as he is made out to be in England.

This is cricket. There will be periods of play when you will find harder to rotate strike because of the bowling and the field. We should look to explore all the possibilities before labelling players selfish.

"selfish" is the most abused word in Pakistan cricket, and it is rarely used by fans of other teams.

Yes.

Can criticise people for being limited , but selfish is thrown around all too often. Its not as though Babar has shown in the past that he can accelerate from 80-100 rapidly in the past.

Except it wasn't strike rotation with he was struggling with, it was boundary hitting. He magically started hitting them at will right after getting the 100.

Come on, Sachin was called selfish by section of Indian fans his whole life. That section has become a majority now.

India use it as well, Dhoni is called selfish too, but no set of fans abuse it as much as we do.

There was clearly no intent in that period.
 
Management will drop Asif Ali for Shoaib Malik on the basis of this match in the WC, just watch.
 
That over illustrated why this guy is rated. 2 slower ones. 92 mph yorker, miss the line once then bouncer.
 
I thought sarfraz would come, would he not come out to bat and see his team over 350?
 
Seriously when will we have a positive mindset. England would target 450 plus on this pitch batting first and we are far behind targetting 350 and having difficulty gettin there
 
Why they play Dil Dil Pakistan after wicket falls while as Chak de India was played everytime they hit sixes and boundaries
 
Now watch Ronaldo try and scoop every other ball missing four times and connecting once

Other than England no other team will target 450 as they are not equally blessed with hitting power. But their bowling is better though.
 
Asif cannot play quality short bowl bowling like imad .. they both will be found out against teams with bowlers in high 80s
 
Our batsmen dont have any shots against short balls.:dw
 
Today our bowling is more suited for containment with Hafeez playing also England are without Morgan and Bairstow. We still need 330-340 though.

He was selfish. I don't want to argue with you on this because what you are saying is nonsense You wouldn't get a better pitch and he has done this in the past and will do in the future as well.
 
Imad cannot hit a short ball outside off stump. It seems impossible to him. You can keep bowling there all day to him.
 
Babar was mainly struggle to put away Moeen. It wasn't selfishness - his defensive bowling has improved thanks to IPL and RCB.
 
Mian Malik still focusing on single double... seeing off the old ball.
 
All said and done Root is not such a clever captain like Williamson. His field sets are awful. My bad.. Buttler is the captain lol He is also poor.

Is Malik also being selfish now?

Honestly if we somehow get to 340-350 we are good... because England don't have Morgan and Bairstow.

Doubt they will get to 350 with Asif gone.

With 6 overs to go unless Imad and Malik can somehow get 50-60 off the last 6 will be a miracle.
 
What a torture this is! I don't know why the likes of Asif are not coming from the domestic circuit. Are we not eating chicken and beef anymore? The power seems to have vanished from most of these players.
 
This is pretty much Malik’s output when batting first and the team is in a strong batting position. 30 off 25 type score

after his match winning knock of 42 the other day he must be feeling quite god to take on the bowlers in the last 10

Imad is a bigger hitter and is rightfully promoted. Your bias is making you look like a clown.
 
Why isn't imad wearing his orange glasses? It probably explains why he missed the short ball onto the helmet

Listen that’s almost impossible for every team not only Pakistan the quality of English batting and how destructive they are is just crazy no team can match that mindset or skill
 
Did not know imad is even worse puller than malik .His weakness is badly exposed by eng
 
How to not be selfish in Pakistan cricket - swing blindly and throw your wicket away. It doesn't matter if you don't score runs, the only thing matters is your "intent".
 
375 would be par on this surface and we are nowhere near that sort of total.
