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

[Madplayer]

hes not even that good of a bowler tbh im surprised hes still playing razzaq smashed him into orbit in like 2006 im surprised this guy is still playing for england

He is an apt bowler to bowl against Pak. Pace and bounce which Pak batsmen struggle against.

 

[PerfectionPersonified]

Shadab now trying too hard

[PerfectionPersonified]

Shadab need to fire

 

[ExpressPacer]

Bowling Falling apart in this semi final as far as fitness in concerned.

Poor on ICC's part to have the matches so close. Bowlers are bound to get injured.

yes my bro from sauga

 

[Madplayer]

Shadab hasnt bowled a googly in this spell.

 

[Titan24]

Good over by shadab, looks like he has settled into his line and lenght

 

[Da_Future_Knick]

Shadab a bit too full.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Good from Shadab. Just needs to find that right length

 

[JaDed]

Is Hassan Ali injured?

 

[amax]

England well and strong

 

[Titan24]

Shadab hasnt bowled a googly in this spell.

He tried but couldnt get it in the right spot

 

[Da_Future_Knick]

Shadab hasnt bowled a googly in this spell.

He has. It's just either been too short or a full toss. Hopefully he settles in quick

 

[Macho Mann]

Poor on ICC's part to have the matches so close. Bowlers are bound to get injured.

seriously dont understand this idiotic schedule

 

[Lynx]

We need to get England's secret weapon out early...Ramiz.

 

[Madplayer]

Very easy singles for root.

 

[Stallion__]

We are definitely not going to concede 444 today

 

[Executioner]

Has been tight bowling from Pakistan.

However, the worry is that England can easily go on to score 300 from here. Say another 6 overs and England will reach around 145. With Stoke, Buttler to come its not going to be easy.

BTW, epic tuktuk here from Morgan, he has been middling everything today but middling to the bowlers

 

[GOAT999]

this root guy no boundaries but his running holyyy

 

[BlueAngel]

From 6 an over till 10th over to 4.something, England is surely feeling the heat of lost wickets.

Good fightback from Pak.

There was a thread that Eng batting can bounce back from almost every situation, lets see if that holds true today.

 

[Madplayer]

Commie makes a mess of his name )

 

[Titan24]

Is Hassan Ali injured?

He is fine, carrying a niggle in his groin for last month or so

 

[GOAT999]

loool mcculumum

 

[Hamza_]

Lol at people calling for Hafeez inclusion for lefties

 

[Hasan123]

Morgan now looking to accelerate

 

[Mamoon]

Imagine watching Root and Kohli batting together.

 

[JaDed]

He is fine, carrying a niggle in his groin for last month or so

Ok ,thanks!

 

[BlueAngel]

BTW, Root is such an easy player on eyes. Makes batting looks so easy.

 

[ExpressPacer]

Is Moeen Ali playing?

 

[jnaveen1980]

They are building platform for launching one big assault in the end.

 

[Titan24]

Junaid should replace hafeez

 

[style_guru]

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.

I am not sure though.

Dale Steyn, Ajit Agarkar, Fidel Edwards, Darren Gough, Vaas, Morrison r the names on top of my mind, who were all <6' and played for substantial time as well.

 

[Executioner]

Looking at the wicket I haven't seen any delivery Zip and go the keeper. Wicket is sluggish, Pakistan should kick themselves for not bowling 2nd.

 

[ExpressPacer]

Imagine watching Root and Kohli batting together.

They wouldn't even need to hit boundaries. Their ability to find singles and doubles is impeccable.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Poor fielding

 

[MMHS]

Unless MoHa gives a "push" in air, he is basically bowling half tracker.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Why can't ABDV build his innings like this? Easy singles.

 

[JaDed]

Never thought England will evolve in LOI , remarkable to see them doing so.

 

[super hitter]

Imagine watching Root and Kohli batting together.

root is better for now

 

[Amjid Javed]

We cant just go through motions here in middle overs with spin at both ends as england will just build a launch pad for later.

 

[JibranAnsari]

england wont get 350 ..probably 320.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Is Moeen Ali playing?

Yes

 

[Jawbreaker]

I am not sure though.

Dale Steyn, Ajit Agarkar, Fidel Edwards, Darren Gough, Vaas, Morrison r the names on top of my mind, who were all <6' and played for substantial time as well.

Still a mystery how and why!

 

[Titan24]

Is Moeen Ali playing?

Yes why wont he?

 

[Lynx]

It would be a tremendous effort by any team to restrict this England batting line to below 320. And it would be chaseable for any half decent batting line up. I don't know whether to be happy if we do manage to restrict England for under that total or not...

 

[90MPH]

270 will be defendable on this track.

It seems hard to time your shorts.

 

[the Great Khan]

england still in front as they bat a billion miles deep. But they will have to go for it and that could give us some chances..can we hold on? I think we are still looking at a big chase..Oh well they have done brilliantly to get this far and whatever happens im satisfied..

 

[roshanrocks]

ENG 118/2 (25.0 Ovs) CRR: 4.72

This is poor batting.... England need to get a move on now...

 

[Stallion__]

Ok, they are gaining back the momentum now. Time to get a breakthrough.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Longer the guys like Morgan/Root stay bigger will be the trouble. Especially Morgan. He is capable of producing gigantic overs.

 

[Titan24]

Good work by shadab

 

[Sane.Cricket.Fan]

Looks like England is adapting like India.. building a platform for the final assault

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Brilliant fielding from Shadab

 

[Mamoon]

Root will have a relatively short career because of his back.

 

[jnaveen1980]

This guy looks very 'unpakistani' with his fielding lol

 

[Titan24]

Ruman Raees is difficult to get away in the end

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Now great fielding by Hafeez

 

[Madplayer]

Sarfaraz encouraging shadab

 

[Mp812]

England taking India approach to batting. Ensure 270 is on board. Rest is bonus

 

[ExpressPacer]

Yes why wont he?

I'm just asking.

I have a feeling Pakistani batsmen can dominate his innocuous batting easily.

 

[GOAT999]

Root will have a relatively short career because of his back.

weird assumptions

 

[todfod 11]

hafeez failing at bowling his most imp facet, will score in single digits when he bats .. dont see the reAson why be is playing

 

[Titan24]

Shadab takes wicket and morgan reviews

 

[Square Drive]

Excellent fielding!

 

[Stallion__]

Lots of hard hits in poor balls have gone straight to the fielders

 

[Markhor]

Morgan reviews...let's see.

 

[Madplayer]

Morgan goes for a review.

 

[ExpressPacer]

Good but I feel it is not out.

 

[super hitter]

yeahhhhhh

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Morgan goes for a review

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Damn. Reviewed straight away

 

[roshanrocks]

out?

 

[Stallion__]

It can be lbw as well

 

[Madplayer]

Not out.

Umpiring has been pathetic today.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Not out

 

[vandokkum]

Woeful umpiring

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Not Out!!!!

 

[Madplayer]

Wickets missing lol
