ICC CT 2017, 1st Semi-final | England v Pakistan | 14th June, 2017 | Cardiff | England Innings

[Madplayer]

Pakistan going through the overs at a rapid pace.

 

[ExpressPacer]

Absolutely disgusted that Hafeez is playing but hopefully he can do good for Pakistan's cause.

 

[CricketAnalyst]

This is what I thought would happen.

England's intent pegged back by wickets, it's mostly downhill from here.

If they don't get 280 it's over, because Pak will chase it down.

 

[MMHS]

Now?

Still - could have been 70/4 now.

 

[Hasan123]

Good stuff from Hafeez

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Good passage of play for us

 

[Enigma_]

ENG scores in home ODIs batting first since WC 2015: 408/9, 302, 300/8, 138, 324/7, 444/3, 302/9, 328/6, 339/6, 330/6, 153, 310
-CB
Check it out.

If they get out for under 160 I'll eat my hat and put $100 on Pakistan taking the cup.

 

[Saeed]

Fine over from Hafeez, get him out of the way before death overs.

 

[Titan24]

Good captaincy bay sarfaraz

 

[todfod 11]

bring in junaid now for two overs now from the other end pls

 

[CricFan2012]

Hasan Ali loves those celebrations, maybe that's why he wants to take those wickets so badly

 

[angrypathan]

This is what I thought would happen.

England's intent pegged back by wickets, it's mostly downhill from here.

If they don't get 280 it's over, because Pak will chase it down.

They were 35/3 vs Australia I'd still back them to get 300 from here pretty easily if Pakistan don't keep taking wickets regularly

 

[JaDed]

If they get out for under 160 I'll eat my hat and put $100 on Pakistan taking the cup.

I hope it's a chocolate hat.

 

[Madplayer]

What a bowler!! Hasan

 

[classic]

are u high on some thing ?

Oops it was Babar . Why did I think it was Hassan Ali ?

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

2 more wickets and English will be bundled under 160

England is batting,not Pakistan.

 

[ExpressPacer]

What was the pace on that delivery Hasan just bowled? I thought I saw 147.

 

[Enigma_]

I hope it's a chocolate hat.

Me too.

 

[Asif321]

hahaha sarfraz angry on root

 

[theariezman]

as soon as Amir started taking wickets he is taken out of the squad...or Rumman Raees is better than him for this match?

 

[Titan24]

Hassan Ali second highes wicket taker in champions trophy, just 1 wicket behind Hazlewood

 

[GOAT999]

141 kph and these guys want him to be taller lmao

 

[Rathore]

Adil Rashid for Eng has more first class centuries than Sarfaraz.
Squad depth of Eng is insane!

 

[letme alone]

Just as Shadab was finding his stride, they've changed him.

ball get little bevold good decion

 

[Pakpak]

as soon as Amir started taking wickets he is taken out of the squad...or Rumman Raees is better than him for this match?

Amir is injured, back spasms.

 

[shaaik]

What was the pace on that delivery Hasan just bowled? I thought I saw 147.

141 kph

 

[Sohail11]

Any chance of hassan ali being baller of the tournament? I feel he has a real chance if he delivers a special today..

 

[GLORY OF '92]

280 will be a tough Chase

 

[mayankp.sverige]

Umpiring didn't go Pakistan way today . DRS rules needs to be revisited

 

[Titan24]

Adil Rashid for Eng has more first class centuries than Sarfaraz.
Squad depth of Eng is insane!

Sarfaraz has a lot mor international centuries, rather Rashid has none

 

[JibranAnsari]

Hasan should bowl fuller.

 

[dauntless]

Hasan boy being aggressive good to see

 

[vandokkum]

Will Pakistan struggle against the spin of Rashid and Ali? This is not a flat pitch.

 

[GOAT999]

how is he so short lol akhtar was short

 

[Inswing]

Just woke up What happened ??

How severe is Amirs injury ?
How did Ruman bowled ?

 

[sali]

Big day for Ramees and Shadab. An opportunity to shine.

 

[CricketAnalyst]

They were 35/3 vs Australia I'd still back them to get 300 from here pretty easily if Pakistan don't keep taking wickets regularly

That's the difference you miss.

They are not chasing. They don't know exact target, so they are not showing intent.

When chasing they don't do this tuk-tuk.

Everyone who thought Pakistan were big underdogs who had to bat first were doubly wrong.

Pakistan are very slight favourites who are helped hugely by chasing.

 

[Madplayer]

Root is looking dangerous. Seems unflustered

 

[CricketAnalyst]

Root is looking dangerous. Seems unflustered

This is not dangerous.

What Stokes and Morgan were doing to Australia is dangerous.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Just woke up What happened ??

How severe is Amirs injury ?
How did Ruman bowled ?

Good.
Good.

 

[Titan24]

Just woke up What happened ??

How severe is Amirs injury ?
How did Ruman bowled ?

Just a back spasm for Amir, will be fine.

Ruman bolwed well, took the wicket of hales

 

[GOAT999]

Root is looking dangerous. Seems unflustered

he will make 70 odd and get out

 

[theariezman]

Amir is injured, back spasms.

oh ok thank you for the clarifications as I couldn't follow-up due to busy schedule...in training actually

 

[Amjid Javed]

England have to many dangerous batsmen to be bogged down for to long, unless we take more wickets regularly as inns goes on england will still probably get around 280-300.

 

[Naim]

Oops it was Babar . Why did I think it was Hassan Ali ?

may be roza laga hua hai

 

[MMHS]

141 kph and these guys want him to be taller lmao

If he was 6'3", instead of 5'9" won't have been that 141km better?

He is still better at 5'9" against what is available, but only bowler in history at his height played for 5+ years was Malcolm Marshall.

 

[Hamza_]

Phainta lagao Hafeez ko

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Pitch has spin

 

[MABA]

Just woke up What happened ??

How severe is Amirs injury ?
How did Ruman bowled ?

Ruman bowled quite well

 

[Sohail11]

he will make 70 odd and get out

Could be a match winning 70..

 

[Dios]

Congratulations to Pakistan for reaching the final of the Champions Trophy.

 

[Rathore]

Sarfaraz has a lot mor international centuries, rather Rashid has none

adil rashid plays as genuine spinner point is how deep eng batting is.

 

[dauntless]

"The professor" has to bowl 7-8 economic overs

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Well fielded by Shadab

 

[castortroy]

Pak have to bowl England out for 220 or so. Anything above that, game is over

 

[CricFan2012]

Just woke up What happened ??

How severe is Amirs injury ?
How did Ruman bowled ?

Isn't severe and Ruman is doing just as good as of a job as Amir so far.

 

[CricketAnalyst]

England have to many dangerous batsmen to be bogged down for to long, unless we take more wickets regularly as inns goes on england will still probably get around 280-300.

I'll put it the other way around. Unless they try and up the rate fast, they will inevitably lose wickets.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Looked out

 

[mayankp.sverige]

Morgan is big danger man and needs to be out soon otherwise he can lift run rate easily .

 

[Madplayer]

Inside edge lol looked out

 

[ExpressPacer]

Need to stop these singles.

 

[Madplayer]

Hafeez has morgan in a tangle.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Amazing running.

 

[Titan24]

Morgan struggling at the moment

 

[shah_1]

Hafeez aaj full chuck karo

 

[Stallion__]

Even if had our review intact, Hafeez would have wasted it right there

 

[Madplayer]

Hafeez aaj full chuck karo

Haha

 

[Saeed]

All most got the overconfident irish out.

 

[Pakpak]

Hafeez aaj full chuck karo

 

[Naim]

93/2 in 20 good going pakistan

 

[Rayyman]

Pakistan playing well here

 

[JibranAnsari]

Need 2 wickets in next 5 overs.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Brilliamt running

 

[Markhor]

Need a bit more urgency and accuracy with our throws, some comfortable twos being run by England.

 

[Enigma_]

Run rate is very well held at the moment but we need wickets.

 

[Titan24]

Really good by Sarfaraz asking Hassan to ball around the wicket

 

[JibranAnsari]

Root has 32 already.. Probably hit only

 

[ExpressPacer]

It feels as though this math is being played in the UAE. Absolutely dull crowd.

 

[Colt]

143 k from Hassan

 

[GOAT999]

If he was 6'3", instead of 5'9" won't have been that 141km better?

He is still better at 5'9" against what is available, but only bowler in history at his height played for 5+ years was Malcolm Marshall.

thats what im saying u dont need height to be a good fast bowler. its just a norm associated that to be a fast bowler you have to be 6"2 and be able to scare the hell out of the opposition and marshall u mentioned great of the game
