What's new

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

Experiment of Hasan Ali with new ball prematurely ends in obvious disappointment :( In first place - why there was a burning desire to watch a guy with 5'7/8" height and poor new ball skill bowling with new ball? I mean, new ball isn't the strength of PAK attack and that white new ball feels like wet soap for each of them apart from the con man Amir - Hasan was at least good with semi old ball - why fix something that's not broken?

Lol you are obviously clueless.
 
Root will be desperate for a big score today. If he gets a big score he will show Babar how to pace an innings.
 
He was excellent with it last match.

He is NEVER and new ball pacer, unless it's the mud beds of UAE - a short guy with that action can't be that good. If he had bowled well in last game (I watched from 190-1 or so), that that's an anomaly, won't happen often. Amir and Shaheen are best bet to take the new ball, or may be they could risk Rauf, who can bowl right armers' out swing with new ball ....... they started the series giving new ball to fast bowling all-rounder Faheem Ashraf....... which suggests some bugs are corrupting the software in Tank's microprocessor.
 
Sarfaraz would have been instrumental in picking Hasnain over Haris Rauf. Like how he used to pick Asad Shafiq and Anwar Ali for Quetta.

Clown.
 
Run rate 9,24, damn it has increased after a wicket
 
Whoever the fielding coach is right now should be put on the spot. There is a world of difference between our fielding a year ago and now. What on Earth is going on??
 
How are our bowlers not ****** at themselves that they are being treated as gully cricketers
 
Hasnain is talented but also raw as egg. He needs to work with a proper bowling coach and bowl long spells in F/C.
 
Hasnain is just not ready for international cricket

Micky is a fool to pick him so early

He's stuck in 90s mentality that we can blow teams away with pace.

In this era, even outside Asia it's the spinners who are matchwinners yet Clive Lloyd thought Imad amd Yasir would be good enough for this series. Sarfraz hasn't groomed a single specialist spinner.

And let's not pull the Shadab is missing excuse - he averages nearly 40 against top teams.
 
There has been about 10 runs in the opening few overs here that could've been stopped had the fielders been inside the circle. If Sarfraz and the team management are afraid of getting hit for boundaries then they are welcome to take the first flight back home.

Thts been sarfrazs issue thruout this series
 
I don't think they've actually hit any boundaries off a straight ball pitched up. Everything has come from width or legside rubbish handed to them by mentally weak bowling.
 
Honestly, Hasnain is a good prospect but he’s too unexperienced to play for PAK at the moment.

Also, he wouldn’t have been chosen if Amir, Junaid and Faheem performed well. Someone has to perform.
 
barring Shaheens opening spell this has probably been the worst opening 10 overs I've ever seen in my life.
 
If Pak wants to continue bowl England there, at least place a fielder over there. What the ??
 
The whole teams looks perplexed and dull. Earlier Sarfaraz used to scold bowlers for bowling wrong length but we haven't seen such kind of attitude nowadays. This doesn't seem to be working for Pakistan. May Sarfaraz is already insecure about his position in the team. Barring Fakhar and Babar everyone feels that they will be dropped anytime. They have fear of loosing, which stops them to think out of the box.
 
These aren't breath-taking shorts. It's just garbage bowling.
 
A bail mujhe maar he only plays in the leg side our bowlers ye lo Bairstow bhai eid ka tofa
 
Imad Wasim should be competing with Phil The Power Taylor, Raymond van Barneveld and all the other darts players.

Not a frontline spinner in ODIs !
 
Hilarious seeing Sarfraz in this situation.

He's trying to set a defensive field but is still going at 10 an over.
