First ODI between England and Pakistan abandoned due to persistent rain

[Slim]

Oh no, Imam opens after all and not babar. Disappointed.

 

[Bigbb]

Hopefully, if that means its going to get better results for our team.

Hafeez , I'm okay. But if Malik, then I'll happily take Imam.

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

Oh man wanted Babar

 

[Chokli]

You do realize that both Imad and Harris are massive upgrades over the two you mentioned?

Haris was in the team that lost to Bangladesh.

Imad was sorely missed, hoping he makes a difference

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Imam ul Tuk Tuk in the middle. Might not be bad to have him in in these cloudy conditions.

 

[Mamoon]

Lol, people actually thought that Babar will open at Imam will bat at 3. Our fans are so gullible and easy to fool.

 

[Mamoon]

This team stinks of mediocrity, but hopefully we can fluke a win in this series. Back to back whitewashes would be extremely embarrassing.

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

Lol, people actually thought that Babar will open at Imam will bat at 3. Our fans are so gullible and easy to fool.

I am gullible. Love your comments man.

 

[Slim]

This team stinks of mediocrity, but hopefully we can fluke a win in this series. Back to back whitewashes would be extremely embarrassing.

Stop with the word fluke, mamoon. Its getting painfully annoying.

 

[Invincible Gujjar]

Oh man no moeen and jason Roy.Would have loved to see them giving this mediocre team phainty.

 

[JibranAnsari]

It would be amazing if we go on to win the world cup after getting whitewashed by england.

 

[Invincible Gujjar]

Jofra should definitely feature in world cup squad.He is treat to watch.

 

[Slim]

What a ball, Archer.

 

[Baigel]

Not much Imam can do about those! Gorgeous Stuff

 

[Invincible Gujjar]

Wow jofra.He is on fire.93 miles now

 

[JibranAnsari]

3 in 3 , amazing bowling. Bhateeja clueless.

 

[ARK Rafay]

I can sense Imam getting out of the pitch and getting caught playing the pull

 

[Slim]

Imam is all at sea against Archer lol

 

[Chokli]

This team stinks of mediocrity, but hopefully we can fluke a win in this series. Back to back whitewashes would be extremely embarrassing.

Stop with the word fluke, mamoon. Its getting painfully annoying.

Yeah please stop Mamoon, it was fun to read in the beginning but now you're just starting to repeat the same thing over and over again.

Please come up with new material to get under the skins of our deluded fans.

 

[Omer2002]

ermm 93 mph just striding in ..how is this possible!!!

 

[saeedhk]

That’s it. Pakistan ain’t winning anything as long as we have Faheem in the team. Azhar Mahmood said he’s better than Razzaq. Tbh, Faheem is a complete ******. And people expect Pakistan to win the World Cup?

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Joffra Archer showing Imam what does an automatic selection looks like.

 

[JibranAnsari]

This is a 150 wicket for pakistan batting.

 

[Slim]

I can sense Imam getting out of the pitch and getting caught playing the pull

Cant blame him, he only has one release shot.

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

Brilliant bowling by Archer needs to be smacked for some boundaries

 

[Green Patriot]

Archer with a maiden.

Well done Imam.

 

[Slim]

What an amazing over by Jofa. Good find for England.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Very difficult wicket to bat on.

 

[xricket]

And this 93 mph is what we wanted from our bowlers. This is game over for Pakistan. England will it convincingly.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Ball is moving considerably

 

[Syed1]

Our success depends on how quickly Imam is dismissed... if he sticks around for long we wont be scoring a big total.

 

[volcyz]

Imam LOL

 

[Slim]

They keep outswinging and our batsmen keep on playing it to the middle channel. Pakistani batting coach is a proper hack if he cannot teach our batsmen to deal with such bowling.

 

[Sher Khan]

I struggle to understand how jofra can bowl 93mph just from standstill and minimal effort. Like how is that possible???

 

[Rana]

Typical Imam, just going to let his miseries continue without trying anything new at the crease.

 

[volcyz]

Looks like a test match going on here

 

[xricket]

And mark my words, our batsmen will play as if there is all the seam and swing on this pitch, while bowlers will bowl as if there was nothing flat than this pitch

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Pitch looks lethal. Fakhar, Babar and Haris is the key. Trio need to score at least 150+ in total to build up a respectable total.

 

[Slim]

It would be amazing if we go on to win the world cup after getting whitewashed by england.

And this 93 mph is what we wanted from our bowlers. This is game over for Pakistan. England will it convincingly.

Yar, please try to enjoy the game rather than making such lame posts.

 

[xricket]

Ball is moving considerably

it moves even on flat wickets for our batsmen

 

[imshally81]

 

[JibranAnsari]

good pull shot ,

 

[xricket]

Yar, please try to enjoy the game rather than making such lame posts.

it's not lame. it's true

 

[Slim]

Imam playing his own test innings here.

 

[Rana]

Modern ODI opener.

 

[ARK Rafay]

it moves even on flat wickets for our batsmen

Doesn't make sense. What does moving ball has to do with Pakistani batsman?

 

[Slim]

it's not lame. it's true

fair point

 

[JibranAnsari]

Yar, please try to enjoy the game rather than making such lame posts.

i can do both simultaneously , enjoying the game and posting lame.

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

So the uniform they wore in last game was for t20's only

 

[Mamoon]

Archer is better than any pacer we have, and he is not even an automatic selection yet.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Only thing Imam can hope is to smack some boundaries off short pitch balls. So bowlers don't bowl him many short deliveries

 

[imshally81]

93 mph...

 

[waleed88]

ermm 93 mph just striding in ..how is this possible!!!

And here we are celebrating Hasnain 87mph half trackers like he's the next Shoaib Akhtar

 

[Slim]

Archer has such a deceiving action. Runs almost like a medium fast bowler but damn the way the ball bolts after it leaves his hand is just amazing.

 

[Sher Khan]

Is anyone else sick of imam and his tuk tuk in every single game?

 

[Afhan Ali]

Archer is looking very dangerous for our openers

 

[barah_admi]

Looks like its rained and is cloudy...spells trouble for Pakistan batting first.

 

[Mamoon]

Fakhar looks so poor at the crease. Horrible player who needs 2-3 chances against a good team to score runs.

Let’s see if he can ride his luck today.

 

[imshally81]

 

[xricket]

Doesn't make sense. What does moving ball has to do with Pakistani batsman?

it does to PCB & management though. Thats why they keep on playing tested failures & doesn't do jack to improve batting techniques.

 

[Mamoon]

Apologies for the jinx, but he is rubbish. A hack through and through.

 

[Slim]

HAHAHA FAKHAR ABSOLUTELY CLUELESS, Hats off Mr Archer!

 

[Invincible Gujjar]

Wonderful by jofra.Amazing talent.He is going to reach amazing heights.

 

[JibranAnsari]

1 down.

Archer too good for fakhar.

 

[Green Patriot]

The new Fakhar Zaman.

 

[Omer2002]

stop blaming imam fakhar will last this pace bowling...

 

[Mujtaba2900]

Fakhar beaten by pace

 

[Plumb]

Nephew not able to compete with Archer's pace??

 

[volcyz]

Ferocious bowling too much for Fakhar

 

[xricket]

'you will see a new fakhar zaman'

What a mouth piece.

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Where is the different Fakhar Zaman?

 

[Slim]

Archer is better than any pacer we have, and he is not even an automatic selection yet.

I agree. I rated SSA as the best emerging fast bowler, but Jofa has surprised me.

 

[Omer2002]

oh dear he is gone....

 

[ARK Rafay]

I was just writing that I'm more worried about Fakhar Zaman than Imam. And there his wicket goes.

For Imam we know what to expect and will be expecting he'll be replaced by Abid Ali. But Fakhar Zaman, getting out early without playing his natural game will haunt this team in the WC. Rip out openers then.

 

[xricket]

Here goes our chance to 300. topkek

 

[volcyz]

Fakhars stance and backlift is a absolute joke

 

[Plumb]

Premature comments about Archer, He will be smacked around in WC.... just wait

 

[x_KINGKHAN_x]

Fakhar the consistent failure fails again

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Lion of Pakistan, Babar sher in!

Can he save Pak?

 

[Sher Khan]

I think mamoon got fakhar out and not archer.
