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

[jnaveen1980]

Archer still has decent numbers so far. 4 overs 20 runs. wood looked okay until this over. They need a lot of catch up job in the middle overs.

 

[Mamoon]

Absolutely agree if we cant 400 now we probably never will.

There is always Zimbabwe around the corner to make us look good.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Presuming this is a reference to me? Still don't think he should or will make the final XI.

Who then will make it? He is not a strategically good bowler. But he has the raw pace.

 

[imshally81]

[JibranAnsari]

the only good thing that england wont be able to score 400 in this match.

 

[Titan24]

Babar needs to play spin well to target a big 100 here

 

[Gullycricket]

Is that Mark Butcher in the comm box.

Yes

 

[Ahmed216]

Imam and fakhar have a already got a hundred each. I hope babar does it today it will be good for his confidence

 

[imshally81]

Great shot

 

[jnaveen1980]

WTH? This guy is a bowler? lol. First time i see him. He is just lobbing the ball. You got Rashid, Ali you give the ball to this dude inside power play? Unless it is an experiment it was a daft move

 

[szundercover]

There is always Zimbabwe around the corner to make us look good.

We did score 350+ twice against a top team btw.

 

[Sunny_majoka]

These two should stay at the wicket as much as they can because one wicket and we are into the tail

 

[Braveheart]

Stokes on Camera putting a sweet in his mouth...3 overs later Wood appears to be swinging the ball.
Hmmm.

 

[Gullycricket]

Awesome shot

 

[Mamoon]

We did score 350+ twice against a top team btw.

England bowled very poorly.

 

[HitWicket]

Who then will make it? He is not a strategically good bowler. But he has the raw pace.

You need to pick 3. Woakes and Archer are pretty much lock-ins right now with the 3rd spot being the one up for grabs. I'd personally be picking Curran. Plunkett seems to have lost it a bit lately and Woakes and Archer are both effective with the new ball so picking Willey who's most effective in that period as well wouldn't make much sense.

 

[szundercover]

England bowled very poorly.

Fair point.

 

[Syed1]

A cricketing website that shall not be named is saying that Imam is retired hurt? What happened? Hope its not serious. He has trouble with short ball and has been hit in the head before. Any news from management?

 

[Ahmed216]

I am happy that haris got punished today for his lazy efforts in last match

 

[jnaveen1980]

England bowled very poorly.

There is a reason why they are the worst bowling line up in the world right now. In the last couple of years they have been going at 5.85 against all the teams.

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

pakistan gone with 4 fast bowlers today..... hmmm

 

[Sunny_majoka]

England bowled very poorly.

Our batting is also improved a little with Harris inclusion

 

[Syed1]

When will our bats realize that there is no use hitting a boundary at the start of the over and then blocking out the rest of the over. I'd much rather they score 4 singles.

 

[Pete Rose]

Spare a thought for Malik who is fervently praying that these guys play out the pacers before he has to come on.

 

[HitWicket]

WTH? This guy is a bowler? lol. First time i see him. He is just lobbing the ball. You got Rashid, Ali you give the ball to this dude inside power play? Unless it is an experiment it was a daft move

He's currently in the squad as the only backup spinner. They're chucking him in under pressure to see if he can do a fill-in job or whether we need to swap him out for Dawson who's the better bowler of the 2.

 

[Titan24]

WTH? This guy is a bowler? lol. First time i see him. He is just lobbing the ball. You got Rashid, Ali you give the ball to this dude inside power play? Unless it is an experiment it was a daft move

Denly is a batsmen who can bowl a bit.

 

[Sunny_majoka]

pakistan gone with 4 fast bowlers today..... hmmm

3

 

[JibranAnsari]

Batsmen need to be proactive , every ball here is a bad ball.

 

[szundercover]

Our batting is also improved a little with Harris inclusion

Its not just that ever we since moved out from those graveyard uae pitches our batsman shots have seemed to approve.

 

[angrypathan]

A cricketing website that shall not be named is saying that Imam is retired hurt? What happened? Hope its not serious. He has trouble with short ball and has been hit in the head before. Any news from management?

Hit on the left elbow while trying to swivel playing a pull against Wood and went down in agony. Was just above waist height so not a short ball problem. No news from management obviously until they get scans done, but seemed to be somewhat okay walking off the field

 

[szundercover]

Any update on imam ul haq?

 

[jnaveen1980]

Babar played some beautiful shots. But 17 dot balls all the same.

 

[Slim]

There is always Zimbabwe around the corner to make us look good.

No worries, our batting has already good after smashing england for 350+ scores twice in a row.

 

[Red Devil]

When will our bats realize that there is no use hitting a boundary at the start of the over and then blocking out the rest of the over. I'd much rather they score 4 singles.

Not with the way they run. There would inevitably be a run out if they ran 4 singles per over lmao.

 

[Pete Rose]

England bowled very poorly.

As opposed to bowling well and getting his for 350 odd? Sounds legit, hehe

 

[JibranAnsari]

Akmal genes overtaking.

 

[Mamoon]

Babar making Denly look good.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Don't let this Denly get away with some overs now.

Hit him out of the attack

 

[angrypathan]

1 off Denly

 

[JibranAnsari]

England bowled very poorly.

looks like they are going to bowl poorly today too.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Babar is a bit like Rohit sharma lol lot of dot balls

 

[JibranAnsari]

babar has played 9 dots in a row.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Bobby the Steyn slayer is superb against pace but can be very frustrating to watch against even average spinners.

 

[Green Patriot]

Denly the legend

 

[Shafi]

Poor batting in the power play. England would have scored between 90-110.

 

[szundercover]

Babar is a bit like Rohit sharma lol lot of dot balls

At least rohit makes up it at the end by hitting sixes and getting double tons.

 

[Mamoon]

I keep forgetting about T. Curran. He is pretty good as well. This is a solid attack that needs a few games together to get going.

 

[Sunny_majoka]

Babar is a bit like Rohit sharma lol lot of dot balls

He usually don't play much dot balls though

 

[Nikhil_cric]

All part of the plan to troll England into selecting Denly ahead of Dawson

 

[szundercover]

I keep forgetting about T. Curran. He is pretty good as well. This is a solid attack that needs a few games together to get going.

He is overrated to be honest.

 

[Ahmed216]

Babar making Denly look good.

Clearly they are not playing to win its gone down to that level

 

[szundercover]

All part of the plan to troll England into selecting Denly ahead of Dawson

He is a very good batsman but england dont need any batsman in the current 15.

 

[jnaveen1980]

commies are discussing about who to leave out. They even suggest Archer being left out. They must be kidding. Archer's biggest strength is his death bowling. If he ticks that box today he is a dead cert to be in the starting XI.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Anything less than 140 after 20 overs will hurt Pakistan

 

[Sunny_majoka]

Clearly they are not playing to win its gone down to that level

Lol what?

 

[Chokli]

Babar going back into his shell

 

[Mamoon]

He is overrated to be honest.

I don’t think he is very highly rated to begin with. He is no Cummins or Rabada, but he is quite decent anyway. Certainly makes the England team.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Stop whinging , that was a wide

 

[szundercover]

Clearly they are not playing to win its gone down to that level

Its ony been 12 overs calm down mate.

 

[Darkness]

Aren't we a bit behind considering the pitch

 

[jnaveen1980]

Wow these English commies are dull, dreary

 

[Pete Rose]

Pakistan need to get a move on, now.

 

[Hawkeye]

Spare a thought for Malik who is fervently praying that these guys play out the pacers before he has to come on.

Lol.

True.

Pacers gone now.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Denly going less than 5 an over

 

[Mamoon]

I have a feeling England will have a relatively off-day with the bat today. Roy, Buttler etc. are due a failure, and there is no Bairstow and Morgan either. We may not need 350 to win here.

 

[NeVerMind]

Wow these English commies are dull, dreary

Nas is one of the best commentators around...Butcher, not so much. Need Athers to partner Nas...

 

[jnaveen1980]

Lol.

True.

Pacers gone now.

But if these two bat deep into the innings he will have to accelerate against Joffra Archer a tough proposition for him even on a road like this.

 

[Green Patriot]

I thought this pitch was the best batting ground in the world?

 

[Gullycricket]

Halwa bowler being made to look good

 

[Pete Rose]

Wonder what’s going through Abid Ali’s mind right now.

 

[szundercover]

I have a feeling both are playing for their 50s and after getting their milestones both will get ultra aggressive

 

[ARK Rafay]

I have a feeling England will have a relatively off-day with the bat today. Roy, Buttler etc. are due a failure, and there is no Bairstow and Morgan either. We may not need 350 to win here.

Might be. But I'm more worried about the WC game. We gonna play here on this ground, and with England's full strength in that game. O boy!

 

[jnaveen1980]

I have a feeling England will have a relatively off-day with the bat today. Roy, Buttler etc. are due a failure, and there is no Bairstow and Morgan either. We may not need 350 to win here.

But pakistan has 3 regular bowlers, Imad, Hafeez, Malik.

 

[szundercover]

Bahi roza to nahi lag raha?

 

[Pete Rose]

Interesting analysis of babar’s Numbers by length against pace.

 

[Mamoon]

But pakistan has 3 regular bowlers, Imad, Hafeez, Malik.

Our bowling is rubbish, but when it not your day, you can self-destruct, and England have pulled off such stunts a few teams in the last four years.

 

[Slim]

I have a feeling England will have a relatively off-day with the bat today. Roy, Buttler etc. are due a failure, and there is no Bairstow and Morgan either. We may not need 350 to win here.

i see you have already covered your bases

 

[Usman Chadda]

Curran's medium pace proving difficult to get away

 

[Mamoon]

Bahi roza to nahi lag raha?

It’s a hunch. I anticipate a better bowling performance by Pakistan and an inferior batting performance by England today.

 

[Shafi]

Selfish batting by Babar as usual. Playing for himself
