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

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

For all the baggage that he carries, it is still good to see Amir bowling.

 

[shamaan]

Not really 2 are nearly 40 and one is in the 30's.

I was being kind lol

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Averages 55 in T20Is with 140 SR. Scored in Australia.

Poor catcher and pretty awful test bat, but has done well in T20Is

Just catcher or in general a fielder ��

 

[Fahdi]

Pretty awful pace from Amir, operating around 132 kph

 

[Deewana Mastana]

I was being kind lol

You are too kind

 

[shamaan]

he needs some Zatoon da taail

He needs more than that no comment

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Pretty awful pace from Amir, operating around 132 kph

Gone are the days of even 140kph

 

[Invincible Gujjar]

It's very difficult to score against amir that's why his economy is under 7

 

[sweep_shot]

Amir is bowling well.

England - 19/1 after 4 overs.

 

[Rayyman]

Good start boys

 

[Lurker_Ind]

Malan is not a T20 player. He is too slow to play in this format I think.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

They're going to start swinging now at everything and everywhere

 

[Snowflake]

Averages 55 in T20Is with 140 SR. Scored in Australia.

Poor catcher and pretty awful test bat, but has done well in T20Is

Thanks! I don't know why I can't recall those games. Well, maybe he deserves a spot the but with that kind of fielding and Haider sitting out, it's hard to get behind him.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Malan is not a T20 player. He is too slow to play in this format I think.

Check his stats and you'll get the answer

 

[sweep_shot]

Average 1st innings score on this ground is 153.

 

[Shoaibbtt]

Iftikhar really getting exposed here ) The poor guy looks like he's seen a ghost!

who's the ghost zakoota jin?

 

[Fahdi]

Just catcher or in general a fielder ��

Fielding is OK from what I have seen but he seems to have pretty poor catching technique and skills especially in the slips. Seen him mess up quite a bit

 

[Yk313]

I have a feeling Rizwan may have asked SSA to bowl this slower. Shouted out a few things to SSA after the previous one

 

[HasanA]

Amir grunting and only producing 134 clicks. very sad to see

 

[Slim]

Nice yorker SSA. Keep your chin up, lad.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Average 1st innings score on this ground is 153.

with this start, Pak should keep them to 130-140 max.

Unless the others bowl absolute garbage and it goes above the average score.

 

[Nervesofsteel]

Amir clearly applying saliva to the ball.

 

[MenInG]

What sort of series are you expecting against Pakistan, BUMBLE?

“Pakistan are always unpredictable, always terrific to watch. These are going to be three very interesting games at Old Trafford. Usually you get a little bit of pace and bounce. I am not sure we will get that because of the weather but we will get a darn good pitch and some really good cricket.”

 

[Mesozoic]

Brilliant start from Pakistan.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Amir grunting and only producing 134 clicks. very sad to see

At the stage he's at its even remarkable that he's still able to bowl.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Amir been applying saliva on the ball

 

[sweep_shot]

25/1 after 5 overs.

Things are under control for Pakistan currently.

 

[Fahdi]

Thanks! I don't know why I can't recall those games. Well, maybe he deserves a spot the but with that kind of fielding and Haider sitting out, it's hard to get behind him.

Haider is a top 3 bat. Hafeez and Malik are keeping him out not Iftikhar.

Well unfortunately we had very poor results in those games so maybe you wiped the games from memory, lol.

 

[HasanA]

if only Shaheen bowled these yorkers and slower balls in the test series.

 

[HappyWarsFan]

Amir should become a slow left arm spinner now.

 

[shamaan]

Amir at it again

 

[Indiafan]

Amir looking so old all of a sudden. Still very wily though

 

[topspin]

Disgusting to see Shoaib Malik given the nod over Haider Ali.

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

Wickets please

 

[JibranAnsari]

from a young swing bowling sensation to a three slow ball per over bowler.

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

Amir has given 8 runs off 10 balls in POWERPLAY and people have a problem with his speed.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Everyone's surprised that Wahab isn't playing

Maybe I would have picked him ahead of Shaheen just because the kid is 20 and has played back to back 3 tests.

 

[Justcrazy]

England have a very deep batting power here , that is the real reason for their strong batting , and care free approach on top.

 

[Snowflake]

What is this word "skitty" that Wasim keeps saying?

 

[Mesozoic]

 

[JibranAnsari]

i dont exactly know why pakistan management gives so much importance to t20 format , use this format to try the young ones. Two 40 yrs are hogging places of where young guys could have been tried

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Ifthikar is not a slip fielder.. babar used to be the slip fielder for Sarfraz why not he stands in.

The whole of Pakistan team thinks that captain should stand at mid on or off.

Many captains in the past and present have been standing in slip cordon

Out of all Chacha Ifthikar at the slips. That was an easy catch at good height. And as I expected Haider not playing, Misbah will be the last man that tries a youngster in place of seniors. Rmb this guy got rafatullah playing t20s and in PsL out of all the young openers that was available

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Wasim going crazy over Haris Rauf

 

[Justcrazy]

What is this word "skitty" that Wasim keeps saying?

Its skiddy , what he is using, it means a a bolwer whose pace is not much but comes to the bat faster, its skids of the pitch.

 

[Firebat]

The best powerplay run rate vs the best powerplay economy rate. Should be an interesting contest.

View attachment 103013

View attachment 103014

Pakistan get the better of the powerplay, just a run rate of 5.67 for the loss of 1 wicket.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

i dont exactly know why pakistan management gives so much importance to t20 format , use this format to try the young ones. Two 40 yrs are hogging places of where young guys could have been tried

Because this is the only format these guys take a little seriously as it is fun cricket

 

[shamaan]

Overall we had a good tour that's what management will say lol

 

[sharmaji]

Pakistan has an excellent bowling attack. 8 bowling options in this match! They are going to be a force to reckon with in the upcoming T20 world cup, whenever that happens.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Here is Haris

Wide lol

 

[sweep_shot]

34/1 after 6 overs.

9 from the over.

 

[Justcrazy]

34 . 1

6 overs.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Amir struggling to reach 135 k's in a T20 and some posters thought PCB should beg him to play tests

 

[Shoaibbtt]

Get the speed camera ready, Haris Rauf on the scene

 

[Deewana Mastana]

They've reviewed

 

[Invincible Gujjar]

Decent pace from haris 143ks

 

[JibranAnsari]

its missing

 

[Yk313]

2 noises?

 

[shamaan]

Babar looks confused

 

[Deewana Mastana]

what a waste he clearly edged it and it was outside leg

 

[Firebat]

Terrible review, pitching outside leg and inside edge

 

[Titan24]

142 kph from Haris in his second ball and 143 in the third

 

[Snowflake]

Amir has given 8 runs off 10 balls in POWERPLAY and people have a problem with his speed.

I don't think his economy has ever been an issue. He's lost his ability to take wickets

 

[topspin]

Gosh Ifti looks so old.

 

[notAgainPlease]

Egland playing youngsters and Pak is playing Hafeez and Malik .. lol

 

[Lurker_Ind]

Could that spike be due to bat brushing the ground?

 

[Justcrazy]

Poms would be looking to get around 175 here , which is enough for Pakistan batting here

 

[sweep_shot]

Decision review time.

 

[JibranAnsari]

gives away his length with cross seam

 

[Deewana Mastana]

90mph by Rauf

 

[shamaan]

90mph

 

[JibranAnsari]

Poms would be looking to get around 175 here , which is enough for Pakistan batting here

i think they will be targetting 160 from here

 

[Mamoon]

A decent effort against England Lions so far.

 

[Titan24]

Poms would be looking to get around 175 here , which is enough for Pakistan batting here

For that they would need more than 10 RPO from here. Not impossible

 

[Lurker_Ind]

Haris Rauf looks a lot older than 26. He looks like he is 32. Those bags under eyes don't help either.

 

[Indiafan]

Batsmen dont seem to be able to time the ball

 

[Yk313]

Shadab khan is 21? Lol how old was he in CT17?

 

[Justcrazy]

40 / 1

13 overs to go for Poms

 

[Deewana Mastana]

They'll look to target Shadab

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

Shadab is risky at this stage

 

[Mamoon]

Whenever Shadab comes onto bowl and Wasim is on the box.

“Shadab best fielder in Pakistan”

Yeah Wasim, we get it.
