England vs Pakistan | 4th ODI | Nottingham | May 17th, 2019 | Pakistan innings

[Mean&Green]

Tom Curran is a very good bowler he’s very under rated England would shoot them selves in the foot if they don’t take him in the World Cup squad his variations and Yorkers are amazing he’s a smart bowler at the death as well also both these brothers are fighters always play great intent no matter what

 

[Pete Rose]

Pakistan has players who are "there and there abouts" which can be a headache for selectors. I guess it is all about balance.

It’s worse when there or thereabouts players are seniors

 

[AdamM97]

Cmon sarfraz, get us to 400 please

Sarcasm?

 

[Invincible Gujjar]

Waah kya Baat hai captain saab.

 

[Mamoon]

Does Sarfaraz feel an iota of embarrassment when he compares himself with his opposite numbers (Buttler and Bairstow)?

 

[Bonafide Hustler]

This wicket isnt the same as last 2, feel its a bit tougher. Still need 350 here to be safe.

 

[imshally81]

 

[topspin]

Pakistani fans are pretty funny they are never satisfied. You cant score 400 that easily especially when you have duds down the order. If batsman score 350 and bowlers cant defend it then it is bowlers fault not batsman's

350 on these lifeless English wickets is the equivalent of 160 in T20Is on the same pitches i.e. harmless against a strong batting line-up.

 

[adil79]

Dont worry guys, sarfraz will hit few sixes and we will comfortably score 350. He must be thinking of how much more than that would be enough?

 

[imshally81]

Babar Azam's century today is the 200th century for Pakistan in ODIs - only the third team after India (280) and Australia (221) to score 200 centuries....

 

[Pete Rose]

Both Malik and Hafeezs innings are fundamentally useless.

 

[Red Devil]

Pakistani fans are pretty funny they are never satisfied. You cant score 400 that easily especially when you have duds down the order. If batsman score 350 and bowlers cant defend it then it is bowlers fault not batsman's

I doubt there's any bowling line up in world cricket that can defend anything less than 350 on this ground, on this pitch, against this opposition.

 

[MRSN]

Does Sarfaraz feel an iota of embarrassment when he compares himself with his opposite numbers (Buttler and Bairstow)?

If he had any he would not be hiding behind Imad and Hasan.

 

[PerfectionPersonified]

Cant hit over circle, give ME the bat man...poor captaan

 

[Mamoon]

Malik causing heartburn for many here. Just goes to show the worth of that 13 average based on what happened over a decade ago.

 

[Ronaldo7]

Who's opening the bowling?

 

[Syed1]

If he had any he would not be hiding behind Imad and Hasan.

Still better than entire Akmal family combined

 

[Rana]

What a bouncer!

 

[ExpressPacer]

Hasnain needs to pitch it up and get some swing going.

 

[topspin]

Malik causing heartburn for many here. Just goes to show the worth of that 13 average based on what happened over a decade ago.

3 x fours in 22 balls is actually poor given the circumstances.

 

[saeedhk]

Imad exposed

Still 100 times better than Faheem

 

[AdamM97]

Hopefully our bowlers will back us tonight!

 

[szundercover]

Still better than entire Akmal family combined

I still rember kamran akmals dropped catches in the 2011 cricket world cup.

 

[Rana]

Malik causing heartburn for many here. Just goes to show the worth of that 13 average based on what happened over a decade ago.

wow, so Pakistan are 100 runs short here and you defend Malik like this?

 

[imshally81]

 

[adil79]

Does Sarfaraz feel an iota of embarrassment when he compares himself with his opposite numbers (Buttler and Bairstow)?

Why should he compare with others? that's not a good thing. we need to compare ourselves from our past. if we are better today than our past, we are better.

 

[ask_analyse_act]

great test knock from malik

he is the one capable of taking the team to 350 now.. if he goes now, 325 will be the best they can make..

 

[Pete Rose]

I would take abid and haris in a heartbeat over these two seniors

 

[Mamoon]

3 x fours in 22 balls is actually poor given the circumstances.

Performing to his capacity, which is certainly not an average of 13.

 

[Amirforpresident]

you gonna defend Sarfraz at any cost?

 

[imshally81]

Good running

 

[szundercover]

Nasir has picked malik as our finisher for the cricket world cup.

 

[Gullycricket]

We can see who is a freeloader in this Pak team now

 

[Pete Rose]

Good Malik

 

[HGhazanfar]

Imad is nothing player absolutely thrash, but then we have people on Pakpassion like Chokli that start bringing up his List A stats of 40+ average to justify his nothing performance in international

 

[Bonafide Hustler]

Shoaib malik is the only player in the Pakistan team in the middle order that can hit pace and spin and also rotate strike.

 

[Mamoon]

wow, so Pakistan are 100 runs short here and you defend Malik like this?

Yes that is Malik's fault. He should have been on 139 in 24 balls to make up for the 100 runs deficit.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Who's the asian guy in the England camp sitting next to Morgan? Looked indian..

 

[AdamM97]

please Malik bat all the way. Sarfraz wont hit any boundaries.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Malik hitting pacers wow !!

 

[Pete Rose]

Wood and Archer don’t look all that flash

 

[imshally81]

Another 2...
Both are a good runners

 

[Invincible Gujjar]

Malak Saab give strike back to captain saab.He wants to hit sixes now.

 

[pak4life]

Step at a time guys. We should be glad we have moved from our customary 250 to 300+. We are still a few players short to get to the next level of 370+.

 

[imshally81]

 

[Green Patriot]

Just in guys.
Malik is our finisher for the worldcup.

 

[Mamoon]

Malik 41 (25) was not part of the script. Wound licking time.

A quality innings considering his limitations against pace.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Is there any batsman who didn't actually click in this series? Everybody is clicking here. Asif Ali, Malik, Hafeez, Fakhr, Babar, Imam

 

[Rana]

Yes that is Malik's fault. He should have been on 139 in 24 balls to make up for the 100 runs deficit.

You speak out on the one day he makes a par contribution

 

[Green Patriot]

Finisher gone.

 

[ExpressPacer]

What a stupid way to get out...

 

[Hawkeye]

) ) ) )

MALIK ) ) ) ) ) )

) ) )





What a PATHETIC waste of a spot in the team!

 

[Syed1]

there was someone who predicted hit wicket for malik in the training thread... it just came true

 

[Ronaldo7]

Stupid, stupid way

 

[Invincible Gujjar]

Inna bhi bura ni si.chal koi naa agla match te hai.

 

[JibranAnsari]

lol , what a way to get out. better go stand behind the wicket.

 

[Green Patriot]

41 @ 165 is good though.
Needed more.

 

[shah_1]

Lol Malik )

 

[ARK Rafay]

Haha. I thought this would first happen to Sarfraz. But Malik really used that depth.

 

[Pete Rose]

Finding new ways to be dismissed

 

[Gullycricket]

Is there any batsman who didn't actually click in this series? Everybody is clicking here. Asif Ali, Malik, Hafeez, Fakhr, Babar, Imam

Sarfi

 

[AdamM97]

Malik played a decent innings.

 

[topspin]

Performing to his capacity, which is certainly not an average of 13.

You're right he is performing to his capacity - DISCLAIMER: of hitting his own wickets

 

[Mamoon]

You speak out on the one day he makes a par contribution

All I know is that he is much better than what his average in England suggests.

 

[Asif321]

Wow malik ahhaah

 

[NeVerMind]

"You can't get me out. I'll get myself out!"...Malik smashes his own stumps...

 

[imshally81]

Man with SR of 107 in...

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Shoaib Malik )

 

[Ronaldo7]

Someone in my cricket club got out the exact same way and they were bullied for the rest of the reason. This is just embarrassing

 

[Duckworth Lewis]

Someone one this forum said Malik would get out hit wicket.

 

[Pete Rose]

41 @ 165 is good though.
Needed more.

You don’t play 15 year old veterans for good enough.
If their contribution doesn’t win you the game 9 out 10 times they shouldn’t play

 

[JibranAnsari]

Lets see what the captain does.

 

[Mamoon]

You're right he is performing to his capacity - DISCLAIMER: of hitting his own wickets

Yes that was hilarious.

 

[jnaveen1980]

"You can't get me out. I'll get myself out!"...Malik smashes his own stumps...

He can't even respond like Bairstow lol Malik is one step ahead of Bairstow

 

[Titan24]

Now Sarfaraz to do fireworks

 

[AdamM97]

How many boundaries will Sarfraz hit?

 

[ARK Rafay]

Wood really pushed Malik back to his crease

 

[Hawkeye]

THIS is what 20 years of freaking mediocrity gets you.

 

[szundercover]

Finding new ways to be dismissed

I have seen bairstow dismissed in a similar fashion.

 

[Gullycricket]

Honestly this English team is so unlikeable.Just like Australia of old
