England vs Pakistan | 5th ODI | Leeds | May 19th, 2019 | England innings

[Green Patriot]

Imad )
Similar to last match.

 

[Hasan123]

This is out.

 

[Ahmed216]

England are still gonna score 500+

 

[Sunny_majoka]

If Buttler was Pakistani, our fans would have called his innings today “selfish”.

This

 

[QalandarFan]

Imad our “match winner” as Waqar said running through the Poms!

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Now 320

 

[Afhan Ali]

Another duck for moeen

 

[Pete Rose]

Ever since Pakistan figures out how to bowl the short ball, things have gone well.

 

[Titan24]

Wow! Imad turning match on his head today

 

[Mamoon]

He played slow because he wanted to "tee off".

Thats the price you pay for playing a bit slower than norm

No, he was selfish because he got a duck in the previous game and wanted to achieve a personal milestone.

 

[szundercover]

I still think england will get 350 unless we get stokes out.

 

[Ahmed216]

Moeed playing for the turn that imad never bowls

 

[Ronaldo7]

Where are the 450 gang now???

 

[Titan24]

Ever since Pakistan figures out how to bowl the short ball, things have gone well.

Exactly. Thats why I dont rate our team management to highly as they are always reactive rather than proactive

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

It didn't turn actually, Ali just completely misjudged a straight one.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Two ducks in a row for Moeen Ali


So just get Buttler, Mogan and Bairstow for cheap runs amd England will self destruct

 

[Hasan123]

Woakes is a solid batter.

 

[QalandarFan]

Ever since Pakistan figures out how to bowl the short ball, things have gone well.

If not for those couple lose overs at the start and things would look much different!

 

[Afhan Ali]

England will struggle against spinners of India

 

[Dr_Bassim]

No, he was selfish because he got a duck in the previous game and wanted to achieve a personal milestone.

34 off 34 is not a personal milestone.

Babar would slow down from 40 to 50 and 80 to 100.

Anyways lets focus on the match.

England are struggling to make 300.

 

[Khwaja78]

If Buttler was Pakistani, our fans would have called his innings today “selfish”.

Find a selfish bloke to compare to Azam. One needs to watch the player instead of stats if it was Azam he would be knocking around bad balls for singles as his urge to reach milestone of 50 starts at 30.

 

[QalandarFan]

I still think england will get 350 unless we get stokes out.

Have you not been following the match, people were talking about Poms getting 450+ will gladly take 350.

 

[iPakistani]

Can we finally get 10 wickets against top opposition?

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Where are the 450 gang now???

They got what the wanted --> attention.

 

[AdamM97]

The absence of Shadab may have lost us the games. This match and the previous match, we picked up wickets in the middle overs and that’s because we played Malik and hafeez(two part time spinners)

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Won't get a bigger chance to keep them to 350 now if they can bowl well or squeeze the run rate .

 

[Afhan Ali]

Stokes is still their
400 is still on the cards

 

[Khwaja78]

England today are giving up wickets as they planned for 450+, their run rate still above 7 and their batting is till no. 10.

 

[Hasan123]

Be interesting to see how England play these last few overs.

 

[szundercover]

Hasnain should bowl a toe crushing yorker to woakes.

 

[Zeshan547]

Atleast it won't be 400 now, after those lucky wickets,

 

[imshally81]

Last 5 Overs (Run Rate - 4.60)

23/3

 

[cricketInsight]

Won't get a bigger chance to keep them to 350 now if they can bowl well or squeeze the run rate .

they shouldn't go past 350 from here - that would be poor bowling with 6 wickets down.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

England to score 320 max.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Hasnain bowling at 86mph mostly. Doesn't seem to be in a rhythm at all and has to work on his run up and action.

 

[MMHS]

PAK spinners have made it quite interesting. But, Imad's overs are running out fast.

 

[Hasan123]

Don't give away any boundaries.

 

[Gullycricket]

Favorites will have a match like this in semis and crash out

 

[Afhan Ali]

England playing this match like a knock out match and now they are struggling

 

[Amjid Javed]

I can see england still playing aggresively so pakistan need to keep trying to take wickets here.

 

[AdamM97]

PAK spinners have made it quite interesting. But, Imad's overs are running out fast.

That’s fine, Imad never bowls at the death.

 

[Ahmed216]

If hasnain works on his run-up under a good coach,both his pace and control will improve

 

[Hasan123]

They got what the wanted --> attention.

Sarfraz is still a crap player and even worse captain.

 

[Afhan Ali]

England to score 320 max.

They bat deep
How we can restrict them to 320?

 

[DRsohail]

PAK spinners have made it quite interesting. But, Imad's overs are running out fast.

It means your assessment was right, choke them with spinners but we have none.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

England to score 320 max.

10 overs left yet, I still think they'll get to 350. I don't rate our death bowling at all and England bat a long way.

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Hasnain bowling at 86mph mostly. Doesn't seem to be in a rhythm at all and has to work on his run up and action.

It's not rhythm, it's conditioning. He hasn't even played one complete domestic season. You expect that from a young bowler.

 

[AdamM97]

The death overs from Shaheen, Hasan and hasnain is going to be vital. Hopefully we can restrict them to 350 and get a few wickets.

 

[Mueez]

Shaheen needs to capitalize in the death overs need to take his five-wicket haul.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

they shouldn't go past 350 from here - that would be poor bowling with 6 wickets down.

We know that but let's see if they see it that way as well.

 

[Mamoon]

We should expect a more spirited bowling effort from England as well. Law of Averages at work here.

 

[AFM]

Dude why show fish and chips during Ramadan?

 

[Ahmed216]

As the days pass by these pitches are going to offer more and more to the spinners, thats why i back Aus and india to win this WC more than Eng

 

[Titan24]

Good comeback from Hasnian in his last couple of overs.

Bouncers strategy too late into series from Pak but working well.

 

[topspin]

Fakhar and Malik's bowling showing how garbage Imad is....

Talk nah. Once again displaying the lack of merit in your posts.

Imad has the best economy of all the Pakistan bowlers who have played 2 or more games in this series.

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

If hasnain works on his run-up under a good coach,both his pace and control will improve

He just needs a few FC seasons and he will be better bowler.

Even Shaheen had one domestic season having played a few games here and there. Hasnain only has had the PSL and a few list A.

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

put spinners on, starve the runs.. pointless with hasnain

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Only 1 of Malik or Hafeez is needed in this side.

 

[W63L35]

END OF OVER:14 | ENG: 116/2 | RR: 8.28
END OF OVER:35 | ENG: 255/3 | RR: 7.28

From 15-35, in 21 overs 139 runs... at 6.62.

At the end of 40th over.
Last 5 Ov (Run Rate) 21/3 (4.20)

 

[Deewana Mastana]

It's not rhythm, it's conditioning. He hasn't even played one complete domestic season. You expect that from a young bowler.

Would you have left him in Pakistan to play a full domestic season before picking him up for international cricket?

There's clearly issues in his run up and action that needs to be thoroughly worked upon with a professional bowling coach who can put in the hours with him to fix those.

 

[Mueez]

Only 1 of Malik or Hafeez is needed in this side.

Ideally Hafeez but unfortunately both will play.

 

[babajee]

Credit to him for taking fluke wickets.

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

There is a reason he is a top T20 player. It's been like playing a T20 for the bowlers this whole series.

 

[Ahmed216]

It's not rhythm, it's conditioning. He hasn't even played one complete domestic season. You expect that from a young bowler.

Spot on

 

[wasimjunior]

Credit to him for taking fluke wickets.

Bowled awfully. Fluke wickets ramping his figures

 

[shah_1]

Hasnain should only be bowling after 10 overs. He is decent and your best option to bowl in the middle overs

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Dude why show fish and chips during Ramadan?

Exactly. Even though I am breaking my fast in next 20 minutes

 

[AdamM97]

Credit to him for taking fluke wickets.

In Imads defence, he’s bowled well when other spinners are doing relatively well. This and the previous ODIs, he picked up 3 and 2 wickets.

 

[Pete Rose]

Come on boys, send stoke on his way without scoring a boundary. Did it once before

 

[IAJ]

Last 5 overs: 14/2.

Excellent comeback

 

[Pete Rose]

Serial offender is on

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Hasnain clicked 151kph in PSL. What was his highest and average pace in this series?

 

[MMHS]

It means your assessment was right, choke them with spinners but we have none.

And old ball - reverse swing will come into play in this WC. Today, I saw Imad bowling at around max 58K speed, with some balls slower than 55K - even that's probably a bit quickish against ENG batsmen - needs spinners who turns big and flights it above eye line.

 

[Mueez]

Exactly. Even though I am breaking my fast in next 20 minutes

I still need to fast 6 hours and I’m stuck between watching the match and finishing a project for tomorrow...

Life of a cricket fan.

 

[IAJ]

Should have gone with one hand

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Hasnain clicked 151kph in PSL. What was his highest and average pace in this series?

89 highest average 86.

 

[Khwaja78]

Hafeez drops Woakes of his own bowling

 

[AdamM97]

The ”England will score 500” squad is quiet now.

 

[topspin]

Should have been taken

There's clearly issues in his run up and action that needs to be thoroughly worked upon with a professional bowling coach who can put in the hours with him to fix those.

If you've marked someone as a long term prospect, then it doesn't matter. You can throw him into the fire or shield him till he's ready. He'll learn either way. However, experiences like this early on in their career are extremely beneficial for young bowlers. He won't face a more dangerous batting lineup or see flatter pitches.
