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

[Saeed]

No effort from English batsman, looks like they have already accepted defeat.

 

[Madplayer]

Bumbe crying on twitter

) whats he saying?

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Bumbe crying on twitter

What did he say?

 

[ExpressPacer]

Raees offers no pace on the ball and therefore doesn't get hit for boundaries even if they try. Beauitful.

 

[yasir]

Hasan Ali has been bowler of the tournament. It's heartening to see venom in our bowling again. He is on mission to make Pakistan great again

 

[dauntless]

Get them under 215

 

[big_gamer007]

Amla esque choke. Choked with the bowl in his last icc tournament knockout game. Now choking with the bat.

Lol what choke bowling has been good, wickets falling on other side and he needs to stay there till end..

 

[Syed1]

What sort of total is safe for Pakistan to chase? 220 and below should be fine above that might get tricky

Actually 250 is upper limit for Pakistan. Anything below and we should walk it (I know we had jitters in the last match, but in the end we won it easily)

 

[shabir kham]

They said England are gonna score 400. ) ) )

Who?

 

[Enigma_]

C'mon boys finish it off!

 

[Macho Mann]

Raees offers no pace on the ball and therefore doesn't get hit for boundaries even if they try. Beauitful.

then why shadab was getting pounched at the start?

 

[Sohail11]

Rumman balling decent. Under 200 and england will reallly be sweating.

 

[ExpressPacer]

Of course. That's why I wonder why lost his mind and spewed all sorts of bilge that only served to embarrass himself.

I personally think it was only Sehwag who embarrassed himself.

 

[Syed1]

5 runs of 45th over. That is why Raees has best economy in Pakistan.

 

[big_gamer007]

Hasan Ali has been the best bowler in this tournament if Pakistan goes on to win inwould give him MOS..

 

[Aman]

Lehman was right, why should Australia follow Englands approach )

Australia have won 5 WCs, what have England won )

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Nothing going England's way )

 

[mayankp.sverige]

But the game will be all about handling the pressure more than the skills. India in my view handles it much better in Indo-pak knockout encounters.
So India have the upper hand.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Nothing goung for england , hope it stays this way.

 

[Madplayer]

Stokes is looking to hit now.

 

[classic]

Wicket coming ...get ready now..

 

[dauntless]

Are we scared of Plunkett?

obviously not babbar sher hasan is bowling no need of fear

 

[Titan24]

Stokes choking while running as well

 

[Rayyman]

What did he say?

Apparently the pitch is a square turner

 

[Syed1]

English batting just not good enough for best bowling attack in the world.

 

[Hasan123]

Lol what choke bowling has been good, wickets falling on other side and he needs to stay there till end..

It's all banter. Relax.

 

[CricVet]

Slog time and a wicket time?

 

[Zahid87]

Ideally need them out for less than 200 - then we should be fine.

220+....well we all know our capacity for a chase. Pakistan gonna Pakistan.

 

[ExpressPacer]

Need to bowl them out before 220. Anything over that should be a problem for Pakistan.

 

[daytrader]

Stokes would never be the highest paid in PSL - our bowlers are too good

 

[Azzurri]

Does neantran means control, Indian fans

 

[dauntless]

Babbar Sher clean him up

 

[Aman]

Bumble crying about the used pitch on twitter )

Take the L and move on

 

[MSaad1237]

The pitch is a hard one to bat on.. the ball is not coming to the bat nicely..


Pakistan better make sure to get Eng out <220 .

 

[Azzurri]

Hasan is fired up

 

[UmarAkmals-fan]

who says azhar is a usless batsmen ...look legends like stokes are following his foot steps

 

[Macho Mann]

Lol what choke bowling has been good, wickets falling on other side and he needs to stay there till end..

i thought you said choke bowling not choke, bowling

 

[Syed1]

Need to bowl them out before 220. Anything over that should be a problem for Pakistan.

Sir 220 is just 30 runs away and with 4.2 overs to go they will get there easily even if they do tuk tuk

 

[Hasan123]

Stop the boundaries. Don't mind singles. Dot balls are like gold.

 

[Madplayer]

Stokes will either score quickly in the next over or get out.

 

[ExpressPacer]

Just hope Pakistan bat sensibly.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Apparently the pitch is a square turner

He must be getting frustrated at England choking in the knockouts of every tourny

 

[JaDed]

English batting just not good enough for best bowling attack in the world.

Its also an unchanged pitch mate,on flat pitches these guys will playout Aus as well.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Azhar will be the key today.. Its going to be a tough chase on this wicket.

 

[big_gamer007]

It's all banter. Relax.

lol it's fine mate just seeing everyone use the word choke these days whenever a batsmen or bowler doesn't do well..

 

[Markhor]

they get 350 its game over. Also you just losk your new ball bowler its a baffling decision.

Those were not knock out games in a major tournie.

Also, England scored 400+ batting first

Not a bad decision to bowl first after all then.

 

[Amjid Javed]

A good tight last 4 overs needed, cant allow england any momentum!

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Hasan's got the intensity of a big cat.

 

[Hasan123]

Bumble crying about the used pitch on twitter )

Take the L and move on

This pitch has made this a closer contest. Flat pitches are killing the contest between bat and ball. Ridiculous from bumble

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Brilliant piece of fielding

 

[Madplayer]

Great bowling and fielding.

 

[Aman]

Tbf, surprised England have struggled to get the ball away.

We need more pitches like this.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Azhar will be the key today.. Its going to be a tough chase on this wicket.

You mean depends how many dot balls he eats up and how much pressure he puts rest of batsmen under?

 

[GLORY OF '92]

If we get on top of Rashid game is ours

 

[JaDed]

Well done! PCT has turned up for the match,even on field!

 

[Syed1]

Hasan's got the intensity of a big cat.

Now if only he had the intensity of phasst Wahab

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Azhar should bat in his usual style today.We nee the power of Tuk Tuk

 

[Macho Mann]

who says azhar is a usless batsmen ...look legends like stokes are following his foot steps

this game is taitor made for azhar ali

 

[Amjid Javed]

Stokes looking to cut loose now!

 

[amax]

very crucial last overs

 

[Madplayer]

Need a wicket very badly here.

 

[dauntless]

Brilliant Yorker by rumman

 

[Amjid Javed]

Azhar should bat in his usual style today.We nee the power of Tuk Tuk

We need a good start in 1st ten overs so we can make the run chase easy!

 

[Aman]

The Big Dog showing England whose yard it is.

 

[Madplayer]

What a yorker

 

[ExpressPacer]

That was a yorker at pace! What I love about Raees is that he is not a slow bowler with variation but a very good bowler who can bowl fast but chooses to bowl variations.

 

[JaDed]

Brilliant yorker!

 

[the Great Khan]

need some really tight bowling now..cant afford a big 15-20 type over..

 

[Sohail11]

You know the batters are under pressure when they cant even put the full tosses away for runs. ahahah. great balling. Raess impressive with his death balling.

 

[Aman]

This pitch has made this a closer contest. Flat pitches are killing the contest between bat and ball. Ridiculous from bumble

Something tells me he wouldn't be sulking if Pakistan were in this position.

 

[imshally81]

Harsh call

 

[Titan24]

Lol bumble is also defending himself on twitter after giving such a remark about pitch

 

[CricVet]

Good to see some pessimists making positive comments.

 

[Markhor]

Stokes's SR is 53 ! Rare to see him tied down like this in ODIs.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

How is that a wide

 

[dauntless]

That was not a wide

 

[Madplayer]

Harsh wide

 

[Chief Destroyer]

I will repay with interest on your posts on Wahab and Junaid. It's a two way street son.

Junaid is still trash and will remain so.

 

[JaDed]

Stokes gonna give his wicket..

 

[Rayyman]

Need to keep them under 300.
