England vs Pakistan | 6th Match, World Cup | Nottingham | June 3, 2019 | Pakistan innings

[Markhor]

Awful from Imam.

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

Imam struggling

 

[Mercurial]

A good coach would tell the players to just go out and play their game and not worry about scoring 350. The pressure to score 7/8 an over becomes our undoing.

We need to play 50 overs. That is the priority

I disagree. This 'we need to play 50 overs' is an outdated approach. We must look for 350 at least.

 

[saeedhk]

Lazy from imam.

Not lazy, coward stuff or lack of ability.

 

[Pakhs]

They need to concentrate on partnerships atleast 2 100 runs partnerships are required.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Man this guy has a big target on his back, once his chacha his gone he be out of the team.

 

[Mean&Green]

This guy is gonna our pressure on fakhar and get him out

 

[szundercover]

yaar imam tuk tuk he kar lo just dont give your wicket till 10 th over dont play lazy shots.

 

[imshally81]

Maiden over

 

[Cric1234]

Imam is guaranteed to start all 9 matches.

 

[Ahmed216]

If pak score 400+ they should win this match

 

[SulmanPK]

Imam as usual tuk tuking.

Someone had to fill Misbah's shoes

 

[Afhan Ali]

300 will be enough on this pitch

 

[uberkoen]

Check his average.

What has he done outside of UAE. I can’t check cricinfo now but would be curious to see a breakdown of that average because he has looked out of sorts against decent bowling and outside of UAE

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Imam atleast needs to knock it around

 

[Mercurial]

I want no wickets till 10 overs,he is doing okay their is swing and he is doing well seeing of the new ball.

Not acceptable in modern cricket.

 

[szundercover]

fakhar is good in leaving the bowl outside offstump,good judgment .

 

[uberkoen]

If pak score 400+ they should win this match

Thank you captain obvious

 

[Sir-fraz]

Imams lack of ability. He doesnt have all the shots yet.

He should look to rotate strike. But his lack of intelligence doesnt help.

 

[Shafi]

Great batting by Imam on 500 runs pitch.

 

[saeedhk]

How can anyone support Imam’s tuk tuk??

 

[AdamM97]

Fakhar off the mark, now’s the time for Imam to strike.

 

[Ronaldo7]

Jeez. People need to calm down. Imam is just feeling the pressure. He'll ease in

 

[Mercurial]

What has he done outside of UAE. I can’t check cricinfo now but would be curious to see a breakdown of that average because he has looked out of sorts against decent bowling and outside of UAE

You need two reliable batsmen in the middle order at least. Looking at the options we have, there is no one better than him, barring Babar.

 

[Hasan123]

Still work to work out if Imam js limited and won't be able to improve his strike rotation and shot range, or if he will improve them.

 

[Ozymandiasza]

Zaman is here to play

 

[AdamM97]

Buttlers a horrible keeper. Bairstow should be their keeper.

 

[uberkoen]

How can anyone support Imam’s tuk tuk??

What’s the alternative? Score 105 and get out in 25 overs? I’d rather they played 50 overs. Let him settle in

 

[Pakhs]

Just keep batting Imam dont take dot ball pressure for now.

 

[imshally81]

Imam

 

[Mercurial]

Someone had to fill Misbah's shoes

Misbah was an entertaining tuk tuk though.

 

[szundercover]

Not acceptable in modern cricket.

england will feel the pressure if there is no wickets till 10th over and then we can accelerate we have the firepower.If they get 330 their is no way england is chasing this,the pressure of world cup will be different and will be on england.

 

[Cric1234]

Imam keeps the strike

 

[Ram Shekhar]

Imam needs to support Fakhar here.

 

[AdamM97]

Can people chill anout Imam. It’s only been 4 overs.

 

[Mean&Green]

Good Iman stay on strike and play out the the first ten

 

[Zeshan547]

Man imam took a single, now I have seen everything

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

Man this guy has a big target on his back, once his chacha his gone he be out of the team.

He's ranked 15 in world, he decent player..

 

[Mercurial]

We need this

Lol, this is not 1996 WC.

 

[Afhan Ali]

Imam! Just stay at the crease, you are favorite player in this minnow team

 

[Mean&Green]

Buttlers a horrible keeper. Bairstow should be their keeper.

Exactly I’ve been saying this I’ve been watching his keeping very closely he might cost them the cup

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

always annoys me that players like Imam take a single off the last ball of the over.

Honestly Imam is lucky is fahkar on the other end. He takes the pressure of Imam.

just dreadful

 

[Sir-fraz]

Jeez. People need to calm down. Imam is just feeling the pressure. He'll ease in

This guy cant even rotate the strike... its nit that hes not hitting boundries.

Its that hes comsuming dot balls

 

[saeedhk]

What’s the alternative? Score 105 and get out in 25 overs? I’d rather they played 50 overs. Let him settle in

If he can’t rotate strike or score runs then he shouldn’t be in the team.

 

[Cric1234]

Imam seeing of the new ball

 

[Mercurial]

The openers have to score big, otherwise the middle to lower order is highly unreliable, barring Babar.

 

[Hawkeye]

Zaman is here to play

You like him?

 

[imshally81]

 

[SulmanPK]

How can anyone support Imam’s tuk tuk??

He has heard you.

 

[topspin]

Imam must show more intent after 5 overs, can't leave everything for Fakhar to do, with run scoring concerned.

 

[szundercover]

yessss I want woakes tonked today .

 

[Gullycricket]

Shott

 

[Mercurial]

Trademark Imam six.

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

Lovely

 

[bones]

Can people chill anout Imam. It’s only been 4 overs.

Perhaps it's the attitude and the lack of intent that people have an issue with.

Just as I type that he hits a 6.

 

[Junaid_ahmed]

What????

 

[AdamM97]

Shehzada

 

[Ronaldo7]

This guy cant even rotate the strike... its nit that hes not hitting boundries.

Its that hes comsuming dot balls

Talk nah.

 

[Sir-fraz]

Imam has nevsr heard of taking singles. Rotate the strike of u feel pressure.

 

[Zeshan547]

This is the only shot he has but Atleast better than nothing, more of this imam Plz

 

[imshally81]

 

[Cric1234]

The flattest pitch of WC so far.

 

[szundercover]

The openers have to score big, otherwise the middle to lower order is highly unreliable, barring Babar.

we have malik and hafeez experience.

 

[Pakhs]

This guy cant even rotate the strike... its nit that hes not hitting boundries.

Its that hes comsuming dot balls

He just needs to bat long that would be his and Pakistan best chance to score runs today.

 

[AdamM97]

Keep the RR at 5.5-6.0 boys

 

[Ahmed216]

Imams bread n butter shot is edge down to third man

 

[uberkoen]

There you go Imam haters. Silly fans these days just want a 4 of each ball.

Imam is playing perfectly fine. Keeping it tight and waiting for the loose balls.

Needs to keep at it. We need him to play a long innings

 

[topspin]

That's more like it Imam, capitalise on the good batting conditions on offer. More disco walla shots needed.

 

[imshally81]

The flattest pitch of WC so far.

But bouncy...

 

[Markhor]

This ground is mockery of cricket.

Better get used to it as we're playing a Test match here next summer v ENG.

 

[Sir-fraz]

Talk nah.

Lmao if he got out then?

Ive seen him play these same type of innings and looking for a release shot he gets out.

Again i said ROTATE THE STRIKE. He hit a 6 and edges for 4

 

[Mercurial]

we have malik and hafeez experience.

Malik has a horrible record in England, while Hafeez can't be that much reliable. Let's see though.

 

[Hasan123]

Good by Imam.

 

[AdamM97]

we have malik and hafeez experience.

Hafeez’ experience didn’t show up against WI.

 

[Amirforpresident]

That's more like it Imam, capitalise on the good batting conditions on offer. More disco walla shots needed.

 

[Mean&Green]

Fakhar chill they alrwdy scare of you they know if you don’t get out within the first ten u ain’t getting out

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Oh man Fakhar's heaves are keeping me on edge.

 

[Cric1234]

But bouncy...

Flat and true bounce need a big score here to be competitive English batsmen will be swatting boundaries like flies.

 

[Ram Shekhar]

Good intent so far! Lovely to see the fight..

 

[szundercover]

Malik has a horrible record in England, while Hafeez can't be that much reliable. Let's see though.

I am backing malik to be back in form very quickly .
