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

[uberkoen]

Hafeez’ experience didn’t show up against WI.

No one showed up against West Indies

 

[Ozymandiasza]

You like him?

I'd rate him, sure. He seems like a very decent ODI player.

 

[Fahdi]

Finally Imam gets a move on. But Imam still hasn't worked on his game. Charging down the track is still his only release shot. He needs one more release shot and one shot that allows him to get to the other end.

 

[Hasan123]

People complaining about flat pitch today , you got some bowling friendly pitches. There is enough proof not all pitches will be flat.

Can't you just enjoy the game without complaining?

 

[Mainul]

Imam is doing Fakhar here. Imam unjustifiably gets the stick by some Pakistanis here. To me he and Babar are the two most dependable batsmen of them.

 

[Mercurial]

Rotation of strike is an issue though, but it doesn't matter as long as they smash boundaries.

 

[Sir-fraz]

Imam needs to nudge for singles..

 

[imshally81]

 

[Gullycricket]

Ramiz has started talking some sense finally

 

[szundercover]

Hafeez’ experience didn’t show up against WI.

you have bad days and good days.

 

[topspin]

Plan should be to target Woakes and play a lot more cautiously against Archer, because this guys bowls a wicket taking ball every over.

 

[Junaid_ahmed]

Hafeez’ experience didn’t show up against WI.

Don't worry he will show against zim.

 

[uberkoen]

Ramiz has started talking some sense finally

This! I thought what he said about the batting strategy was actually pretty smart

 

[szundercover]

fakhar you idiot play with a brain.

 

[Hawkeye]

Finally Imam gets a move on. But Imam still hasn't worked on his game. Charging down the track is still his only release shot. He needs one more release shot and one shot that allows him to get to the other end.

That's right.

Unfortunately, that's the ONLY scoring shot Imam has. And that's why he's kind of woeful on a ground requiring 320+ score.

 

[Ellipsism]

What the hell was that.

 

[Sir-fraz]

Imam is doing Fakhar here. Imam unjustifiably gets the stick by some Pakistanis here. To me he and Babar are the two most dependable batsmen of them.

They r the best 2, but imams lack of strike rotation goes against him.

He needs to learn to rotate the strike

 

[Mainul]

Such a poor decision to leave Haris. He is way better than Hafeez

 

[Afhan Ali]

Hack

 

[Fahdi]

Fakhar needs to curb those wild swings. That was just ugly

 

[hussain.r97]

While that 6 from Imam looked good, the reality is that it was a high risk release shot that he wouldn't have needed to play if he was more capable of rotating the strike and hitting the gaps. Needs to work hard on that part of his game.

 

[Hasan123]

Fakhar has had some luck so far.

 

[szundercover]

This! I thought what he said about the batting strategy was actually pretty smart

what did he say.?

 

[AdamM97]

Fakhars recklessness.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Oh man, look at fakhar, his swings are so bad to look at.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Lucks on pakistans side , we are going to win.

 

[Inswing]

Why fakhar is trying to slog on every ball

 

[uberkoen]

Fakhar is completely brainless

 

[Ronaldo7]

Hack

It's an era of hacks tbh

 

[szundercover]

Such a poor decision to leave Haris. He is way better than Hafeez

haris cant play big shots and hafeez can.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

That was lucky, that was indeed lucky.

 

[Mujtaba2900]

Fakhar sword grip bounce in the pitch

 

[Ahmed216]

Such a poor decision to leave Haris. He is way better than Hafeez

Hafeez is our 5th bowler today

 

[AdamM97]

Whenever Fakhar is lucky, he wins us matches. Is this the day boyz??

 

[Zeshan547]

sarfraz is a star, Lol

 

[Ronaldo7]

Fakhar is completely brainless

While batting being brainless may not always be bad

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Maybe our luck is changing it's well overdue

 

[Mainul]

They r the best 2, but imams lack of strike rotation goes against him.

He needs to learn to rotate the strike

He will. He holds one end in a brittle batting line up and he does it by the decision of team management. His SR is not that bad. He will improve with time.

 

[Pakhs]

You can see fakhar really trying to put in a performance today. His attitude is good.

 

[Afhan Ali]

Shot

 

[IAJ]

Good to see margins on Our side

 

[AdamM97]

sarfraz is a star, Lol

”Specialist captain”

 

[Sherazkhalid]

That's the problem with us, play too risky and we get out soon, play less risky then we don't get enough runs.

 

[hussain.r97]

Fakhar needs to calm down and do away with those wild hacks, he's batting just fine without them.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Good stuff

 

[Ronaldo7]

Is it just me or does anyone else want pak to cross 105 safely first??

 

[SulmanPK]

Misbah was an entertaining tuk tuk though.

Well he has learnt tuk tuk. May be he will learn some entertainment later.

 

[imshally81]

:

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Scooping in the 6th over )

 

[foulu]

Fakhar hammering woakes.

 

[Gullycricket]

Lol at Sarfi being star to watch

 

[AdamM97]

Fakhar just pick and choose which shots to play and you’ll be fine.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Finally a good look shot from Fakhar on the off.

 

[szundercover]

Maybe our luck is changing it's well overdue

you are right haar ki bhi koi haad ati hai,today is our day.

 

[Afhan Ali]

Fakhar please stay at the crease

 

[Ronaldo7]

They're really confident today aren't they??

 

[Markhor]

Hack

So what ? You need guys not afraid to go for their shots in today's ODI cricket.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

wow that was impressive scoop, given the fact bowler had enough time to see it coming.

 

[Ram Shekhar]

Pressure.. it's a funny thing!

 

[szundercover]

its satisfying to see woakes smashed.

 

[Gullycricket]

Finally showing why England is our bogey team

 

[hussain.r97]

The Fakh-scoop

 

[Mercurial]

This is entertaining stuff from Fakhar. Come on we need a 200.

 

[MMHS]

Very good start, ENG's early wicket hope is countered. Now one of the top 3 has to get a hundred & cover for the bowling. Wicket has settled much better than first game and this is probably a genuine 400 wicket.

 

[Inswing]

Fakhar turning it on

 

[Cric1234]

Umar Akmal definitely is a miss on these wickets.

 

[Mean&Green]

What opener in the world has guts to play a shot like that unbelievable and dumb

 

[Sherazkhalid]

that should have been two.

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Real Pakistan has shown up today. Brilliant batting!!!

 

[Pakhs]

Fakhar trying hard for Pakistan

 

[Sir-fraz]

He will. He holds one end in a brittle batting line up and he does it by the decision of team management. His SR is not that bad. He will improve with time.

I agree he will improve. If the management r telling him not to rotate the strike, then damn fire these fools.

Taking singles does not increase risk.

 

[Green Patriot]

I am glad we are batting first.
England might have murdered us here if they were batting and anything above 300 would have been too hard for us.

 

[Mainul]

Hafeez is our 5th bowler today

Malik bowls better than Hafeez and Malik should be used as 5th bowler. As a batsman Haris is much more consistent than Hafeez

 

[Ronaldo7]

where is mamoon?

It's too early.

 

[AdamM97]

Looks comfortable at the crease now.

 

[Sir-fraz]

Eng fast bowlers gave up too fast on their plans.

 

[topspin]

Umar Akmal definitely is a miss on these wickets.

He would have loved these wickets and along with Sharjeel, they're probably the only players who could smash Archer.

 

[SulmanPK]

Wow what a start for Pakistan

 

[Sherazkhalid]

That was good over, don't think Woakes is coming on to bowl his 5th at the current rate.

 

[Mainul]

I agree he will improve. If the management r telling him not to rotate the strike, then damn fire these fools.

Taking singles does not increase risk.

It is the problem of all Pak batsmen of all generations- failing to rotate strike frequently. The percentage of boundaries in runs made is highest in case of Pakistan than any other country. Why blame only Imam?
