What's new

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

Junaid once again in the wickets column, slowly getting his his mojo back and becoming the bowler he once was.
 
Hasan #babbar sher is struggling a bit! Hopefully I will be able to see his 5fer.come on! Do it!!
 
Most dangerous man gone. Stoke will give in. Awesome stuff! I am loving this disciplined bowling. Pak on top as of now.
 
Ball is reversing, though he is slanting on leg - need a filthy Punjabi slang to pierce between head through one ear to other ....

Trick worked during drinks break - if he can do this for couple of overs, poms won't bat 50 overs.
 
ravi shastri was saying watch how england not even let pakistan move from the backfoot they will totally rattle shastri has a big mouth
 
England is going Australia's way of playing only one type of cricket,this is good in case if flat pitches but if there is anything in the pitch they don't change the strategy!!
 
We get through the middle order but get complacent and let the opposition build a huge partnership in the lower order so they keep lingering on. However, the English will not just linger on, their depth gives them the advantage of being dominant whenever they want. Need to keep up the pressure and bowl them out.
 
When Pressure is ON, Eng batters are bottling it :facepalm: Chances of IND vs PAK final is getting higher by each wicket.
 
6 overs left for Junaid
5 for Rumman
4 for Hassan

Thats 14 out of the 15 overs

On top of that you have 3 from Shadab and 8 from Imad/Hafeez

Plenty of bowling options there for Sarfraz to combat the power house England bowling line up!

InshAllah hoping the lads can continue picking up wickets and restrict the English line up to under 250.

The pitch certainly is looking well suited for Pakistan, rather than England - hope the bowlers maintain the pressure in the remaining overs InshAllah and then the batsmen get the job done InshAllah.

[MENTION=141114]Hasan123[/MENTION] - get back in the shower :sanga

We're picking up wickets anyway. So I'll stay where I am. :msd
 
Out a short squire leg Sarfu, Moeen won't resist flicking ....
 
Concentrate boys, job not over yet.

Restricting these to below 250 would be huge.
 
Wish we had 2 proper batsmen instead of Hafeez and Azhar. We might won this match

Pakistan will probably be thinking if the score to chase is low, Azhar and Hafeez as batsmen are better bets than the dashing Faheem and the raw Harris. No big scoreboard pressure.

Not sure I agree.
 
Funny thing is junaid haters never appreciate as well and they just wait for a wrong spell
 
Junaid Khan haters, where art thou?

Amir, Junaid, Hassan and Riaz is the best pace battery in the whole of Asia today. The other countries can't put a better attack even if they combine their resources.
 
Called it 2 overs ago... Just gotta not get complacent now. This is where express pacer would come in and knock out 1 or 3 of the weaker batters. Either Shadab or Hassan has to get that wicket now.
 
Junaid Khan haters, where art thou?

Amir, Junaid, Hassan and Riaz is the best pace battery in the whole of Asia today. The other countries can't put a better attack even if they combine their resources.

lol junaid have owned his haters in CT

And here you go, Time to bring him back maybe? :srt

Gotta agree with this even though I don't like junaid but he has been impressive in this tournament

no wahab pleaseeeeeeeeeee over rated short ball bowler lived off an okish spell for over 2 years against not the best of shane watson
 
Yes bring back Riaz and even Afghanistan pace attack will look better no need for combination.
 
This is the time where Pakistan turns the screw. Other teams are bowling innocuous containing bowlers like Ashwin in this period while Pak is attacking with Hasan and Junaid.
 
Sri Lanka had scored 22 runs more at 35 overs mark against Pakistan, so it seems that England will end up at 250 or less.
 
Win or lose, performance of Pakistan in champions trophy shows ICC ranking system is big time flawed
