First T20I between England and Pakistan washed out after England were 131/6

Good catch.

I honestly wouldn't have been bowling spin here so credit to Babar for some good captaincy.
 
This a fantastic turnaround by Pakistan - 3 quick wickets. What a catch Rizwan!
 
He literally said "Urdu Samajh ati hai" - Excellent keeping Rizwan

You lot don't seem to have a problem when teammates speak to each other in Punjabi.

Tbh it didn’t happen a whole lot on the field.

Kamran Akmal despite being punjabi never spoke behind the stumps in punjabi.

Keeper is speaking to everyone generally usually so need urdu
 
England’s white bowl depth is just amazing. No team in the world is anywhere near the in that regards
 
Shadab has bounced back very well from all the spanking. His ploy to bowl outside off stump to Banton worked and Moin Ali is just a gift that keeps on giving.

Suddenly Shadab has 2 for 31.
 
I think moeen is poor man's afridi, even afridi clicked more often in both batting and bowling, who he is still playing is beyond me.
 
Clearly Rizwan just said, Moin understands urdu. Now we know why he was vocally speaking Pushto. Hope that ends that nonsense of a non-controversy.
 
Rizwan has been inspirational throughout the tour.
 
We need to back clutch Shadab Khan until and unless we find a better package than him in domestic cricket, so far I see none.

Punjabi is a language understood by a major amount of Pakistanis that includes non-punjabi speakers. Dont give it your regional color, man. FGS.

You're the one claiming 70% don't understand. I'm asking how you know that? Have you talked to the entire team? Are you sitting in the dressing room to know this? You're the one making tall claims. Not me.
 
Lol all this language talk reminds me of the hilarious Dhoni Ashwin incident
 
To add to the language debate. I suggest for all the players to be speak to each other in Sindhi.

Because most of the team is compromised of non pashtoon players. 1+1=2

Excuse me? Urdu is the national language. More than 70 pc of his team mate dont understand.

It's no good arguing with you but Rizwan. Ifti, Fakhar, Shaheen (and Shadab?) are fluent in Pushto
More than 70pc what?
 
Umar akmal used to speak a bit of Punjabi behind the stumps. This is not an issue really but I understand it's bit annoying
 
Babar giving his KK captain much respect by giving him 4 overs
 
Lol England doing a Pakistan. Ruining an epic start.
 
[MENTION=147314]topspin[/MENTION] told ya, england team are bunch of door handles :))) [MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION]
 
Man even Dhoni would be proud of that stumping, i think after the legend Himself Rizu got fastest hand speed in world for a wk.
 
Hats off to Babar in captaincy and Rizwan the guy on steroids
 
India and Pakistan would both be better off with English as the national language. Too much over petty issues like a regional language.
 
Excellent captaincy. PP experts told us "Babar won't be a good captain". Just needs to improve his communication. Tactics will come.
 
Mamoon will go in hiding now unless there is a Pakistan batting collapse and make an appearance at the end saying that we won against England Lions or that it was a fluke

That was pure class - wish he improves his batting too. Quality wicket keeping.
 
Rizwan’s prime > Sarfraz’s prime...

And Sarfraz was really good too.
 
Hopefully the rain stops soon. I am based about an hour from the ground and it hasn't stopped raining all day.
 
Why not Rizwan for Test captaincy? He is such a good team man. It will relieve Babar off extra pressure (captain in all formats) as well.

Majority in Pakistan understands Urdu unlike India where most dont get Hindi. Pakistan is a small country, the language issue is not there like India.
 
Wow. This England middle lower order is **** poor.

Had uncle ifti taken that catch off Banton, England would have done well to reach 120.
 
Hopefully Babar will complete the overs of Amir and Shaheen. Young captains can often mess that up a bit
 
Who would believe match is happening in Eng if there is no rain

Think Riz has done very well as captain of Peshawar in previous domestic structure... defo one who can take over. Don't expect clown Misbah to take such a step though.

2020:

England are world champions but Pakistanis fans are calling them door handles because their C team is struggling against us after they A team thumped us in the Test series.

Sums up the status of Pakistan cricket today.
 
India has no National language. It has 22 Official languages, including Hindi and English. Every language is equal in the eyes of law.

Indians talk to each other in English lol.... I found it weird, but understandable since southern states don't speak Hindi.


Majority of Pakistanis can understand/converse in Urdu so its the default language.
