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

[msb314]

Will Imam return to bat?

 

[saeedhk]

Sarfraz should really retire. He is a total liability, on par with Faheem.

 

[Afhan Ali]

Sarfraz looks very angry young man

 

[NeVerMind]

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

somebody did actually mention that...give that man a prize!

 

[ARK Rafay]

Why I'm now getting the feeling that Sarfraz will hit the wicket too?

 

[MRSN]

Captain giving strike to a better batsman..

 

[Hawkeye]

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

DON!

You don't get me out. I'll do that myself.

This is what 20 years have given us.

 

[AdamM97]

340 is the predicted score.

 

[imshally81]

tttt

 

[daytrader]

Very poor wicket by Malik but overall a decent knock. Should be our #5 after Haris

 

[Tyler Durden]

Malik's dismissal looks suspicious!

 

[JibranAnsari]

Generator thuss as well

 

[waleed88]

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

A quality innings considering his limitations against pace.

Spoke to soon. 'Our Finisher' finished prematurely

 

[Syed1]

Falling like a pack of cards.... but one man is standing tall. Haters are burning

 

[MMHS]

This game is turning into disaster - started with Imam's injury, then without Haris PAK is batting well and unfortunately both Buzurgs have punched well above their English standard (assisted massively by the per for the course) and Asif has failed ...... means, PAK will start WC with MoHa, Sarfu, Mian at 4-5-6......

 

[HitWicket]

Moving closer to the WC bowling combo being Woakes, Archer, Curran.

 

[Rana]

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

We will see

 

[Ahmed216]

Pak should now just look to score run a ball from here. They really have lost the plot in last few overs

 

[JibranAnsari]

Pakistan should give gloves to one of the top 4 in the next match and get rid of sarfraz. He has no role in the team at the moment.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Any big hitter here would have taken this score to 350.

But with Sarfraz there, Pakistan's chances of doing so are slim.

 

[Mamoon]

Spoke to soon. 'Our Finisher' finished prematurely

I spoke after he got out. He played far better than what his naysayers predicted, and that is enough.

 

[imshally81]

Imam on

 

[topspin]

Sarfraz needs to realise this isn't Karachi street cricket.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow
The fighter Imam is back!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Hasan comes and goes.

 

[Green Patriot]

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

Agreed.
I dont support his inclusion in the team,especially when Haris is better.

 

[Rana]

Pakistani Batsmen cannot pick the slower ball!!!

 

[Mamoon]

Good to see our most reliable batsman return.

 

[Baigel]

Let's go Imam

 

[babajee]

Imam ) ) )

 

[Green Patriot]

Imam mera sher.

 

[Ahmed216]

Falling like a pack of cards.... but one man is standing tall. Haters are burning

Standing tall? Hes hardly timed a single ball properly so far

 

[Gullycricket]

Legend is here.Salute to Imam

 

[MRSN]

Pathetic. This is our leader.

 

[Syed1]

Good to see our most reliable batsman return.

Yeah glad you changed from "best" ASAP

 

[Usman Chadda]

Imam, massive respect to you

 

[Pete Rose]

Plot twist

 

[Madplayer]

Maza nahi araha match main aaj

 

[Rana]

I spoke after he got out. He played far better than what his naysayers predicted, and that is enough.

He had to score more than 13, hes proven everyone wrong today!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Imam is back!

 

[AdamM97]

Sarfraz wouldn’t even have made it to the team post-2017 if he wasn’t captain. I feel really bad for Rizwan, he has good fitness, scored 2 centuries.

 

[PerfectionPersonified]

330 now

 

[Mamoon]

Yeah glad you changed from "best" ASAP

Yes, would have been too controversial.

 

[Syed1]

320 achieved... Pak bowling lineups of old would have defended this in their sleep.

 

[Naveed1983]

wow imam-ul-haq coming back in this match is unnecessary

 

[Deewana Mastana]

He is heavily strapped on that arm where he got hit.

 

[waleed88]

I spoke after he got out. He played far better than what his naysayers predicted, and that is enough.

You seem to have a very low threshold for Malik. The expectations have really come down in recent times haven't they

 

[ARK Rafay]

Seniors curse happened today lol

 

[babajee]

Imam's 60 average is at stake here

 

[Zhasan]

Imam in, now the scorecard will go in reverse.

 

[Badsha]

Is it really worth bringing him out?

 

[Gullycricket]

Sarfi needs to hit here rather than giving strike to Imam

 

[Asif321]

Hence proved Pakistan management is crazy
Why send imam he can’t hold bat

 

[ARK Rafay]

Why Imam is back though? Doesn't he risk his arm?

 

[Ronaldo7]

Kudos to Imam but why was this necessary?

 

[Titan24]

Hats off to imam for showing courage

 

[AdamM97]

Imam forgetting this isn’t the 1st over.

 

[ExpressPacer]

Pathetic batting from Sarfraz.

 

[Titan24]

Kudos to Imam but why was this necessary?

Because the other two batsmen are Hasnaian and Junaid

 

[MRSN]

This guy wants to be our finisher?lol

 

[Gullycricket]

Sarfaraz

 

[jewel1985]

Sarfraz couldn't hit his way out of a brown paper bag. Pathetic batting.

 

[saeedhk]

Pathetic stuff from sarfy pakora and team management to send Imam only to nudge the ball around

 

[Zhasan]

Dead bat stop by imam what a pathetic excuse of a batsman

 

[Mamoon]

You seem to have a very low threshold for Malik. The expectations have really come down in recent times haven't they

I think he is a scapegoat. He has performed quite well since 2015 and deserves to be in the World Cup squad. It wasn't long ago when he was waging a lone war against India and saving our behinds against Afghanistan.

 

[AdamM97]

Kaptaan 6(7) in the death. Mashallah

 

[Usman Chadda]

Curran has bowled very well. For all the talk of Archer and Wood's pace, this lad has actually read the wicket very well

 

[saeedhk]

What a joke!!

 

[topspin]

It still isn't too late to change captain and wicket keeper PCB.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Anything below no. 5 is not suited for Sarfraz

 

[Syed1]

Pathetic stuff from sarfy pakora and team management to send Imam only to nudge the ball around

Hate making you look like a clown... so Sarf while out in the middle requested Imam to be sent?

 

[razazaidi]

Lol sarfaraz cant bat to save his live. And posters here bashing Malik. Hilarious!

 

[MRSN]

Sarfi needs to hit here rather than giving strike to Imam

That is not in his sytem.

 

[Pete Rose]

Archer and Jofra have gone for more runs combined per over than Denly + stokes.

 

[Amirforpresident]

Falling like a pack of cards.... but one man is standing tall. Haters are burning

What would we do without his 6 of 7

 

[Titan24]

Captains knock 6 off 7 with mighty SR of 87 in the last 3 overs, silencing the critics

 

[ask_analyse_act]

very poor from the management to send Imam in now.. height of panic

 

[Syed1]

What would we do without his 6 of 7

Be all out for 320

 

[adil79]

Have belief guys, sarfraz will hit few 6s and we will score more than 350

 

[PerfectionPersonified]

Safi is farigh cricketer...jack of none
