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

[Arham_PakFan]

Imad to bowl

 

[Square Drive]

Raees isn't the most talented but he knows what he's doing, I like this guy.

Kinda like Fakhar

 

[baahubali-prabhas]

Need to get another wicket to slow down england

 

[MoinHaroon]

Imad is stupid bowling change. Looks like Micky Arthur plan, we need him to relax and let Sarfraz make decisions

 

[Hayreddin]

This the the scary fact, England gets up immediately after a wicket. We need a string of them to damage their confidence.

 

[aniket1911]

Lol! Atherton saying england would have wanted srilanka to win instead of Pakistan

Obviously, Pakistan is superior team to SL. They would want easiest option for semis.

 

[Saeed]

We got to keep taking wickets, trying to contain them will not help us.

 

[super hitter]

Nope no chance.

Nothing saving England today.

Ah, then we are to chase a 300+ today, Beware.

 

[ExpressPacer]

Imad is stupid bowling change. Looks like Micky Arthur plan, we need him to relax and let Sarfraz make decisions

Imad is economical and has gotten Root twice in very few innings.

 

[vandokkum]

England are not SA, they won't go into a shell.

 

[Madplayer]

Lol! Atherton saying england would have wanted srilanka to win instead of Pakistan

Because with Sl you know what to expect.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Bairstow looking a bit frustrated

 

[Speedster1]

Clueless ramiz wants raees to get the new ball

Not so clueles rameez lol. Only one who's got the wicket bud!

 

[Markhor]

Clear blue skies ..No rain expected for a few days if not weeks. Summer is here finally.

Makes it baffling why this tournament didn't start in mid June instead of early June when rain is more likely.

 

[Hasan123]

Bring mid on, make England take some chances

 

[ExpressPacer]

Terrific bowling from my boy Imad.

 

[Madplayer]

This the the scary fact, England gets up immediately after a wicket. We need a string of them to damage their confidence.

True. 3 wickets in hurry are needed to keep English hitters under control.

 

[super hitter]

What an energy shown by the Greens

 

[uzairmanzoor13]

I have a feeling spin can strangle England here.

 

[JibranAnsari]

England need yo relax.

 

[ExpressPacer]

[MENTION=131678]Madplayer[/MENTION] watching Imad?

 

[Azzurri]

Root looks nervous

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Good from Imad

 

[Da_Future_Knick]

Imad is troubling Root.

Great bowling

 

[fasihulhaq94]

sensational from imad! keep him on for root

 

[BlueAngel]

England has already scored what India scores typically in 10 overs.

 

[Square Drive]

Imad getting it to skid big time.

 

[Hasan123]

England can't seem to get Imad away.

 

[GOAT999]

munda wales da troubling englishmen

 

[Naim]

good bowling imaad

 

[Titan24]

Root being bullied by Imad

 

[explayer]

Is amir being punished for winning it against srilanka? sounds like some big lost few bucks in that game

 

[Da_Future_Knick]

Love Imad's attitude. Not afraid to say a few words to the batsmen

 

[Hayreddin]

Everyone needs to calm down, nothing is sensational till a wicket is down.

 

[roshanrocks]

Wicket will fall in this over

 

[ExpressPacer]

I know Raees relies on variation but should avoid bowling too fast and losing control and bowling too slow and let the English bats bash him.

 

[Madplayer]

[MENTION=131678]Madplayer[/MENTION] watching Imad?

I told you he should always play against non asian sides. Never against asian sides in LOIs.

 

[The cricket enthusiast]

all hindi commentators including kapil dev wanted pak to bat first .

 

[JaDed]

Bring in Shadab,Root is confused against Imad itself.
Would be epic if Hafeez gets root!

 

[aniket1911]

One thing I noticed is that in this tournament, the grounds outfield are ridiculously slow. Must be because of all the rain.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Dropped

 

[Stallion__]

Taking lot of singles even in powerplay

 

[Titan24]

Very good try by Azhar

 

[Madplayer]

all hindi commentators including kapil dev wanted pak to bat first .

What do you expext from Indian agents

 

[dauntless]

Dropped! Azhar

 

[ExpressPacer]

My word. Why do we play these unfit losers?! You've got to take these catches in professional cricket. Bairstow will make you pay/

 

[super hitter]

coool from azhar

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Dropped! Tough one

 

[uzairmanzoor13]

Great effort from Azhar.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Azhars dillema , only good trier. (In odis)

 

[ExpressPacer]

Don't really think it was a pretty good effort. He got the entire ball in his hand. Pathetic to drop it from there.

 

[Square Drive]

Good effort. Was a toughie.

 

[Shafi]

Another drop by our golden senior

 

[CricketAnalyst]

What do you expext from Indian agents

Everyone on PP also wanted Pak to bat first.

Nothing to do with Indian or Pakistani. Just backward approach to cricket from old-school subcontinent people.

 

[Saeed]

Azhar better make up for that by scoring quick fifty.

 

[skylinegtr]

Unlucky azhar
Brilliant effort
Come on we need a wicket badly

 

[Titan24]

Now Hassan should replace Raees

 

[GOAT999]

My word. Why do we play these unfit losers?! You've got to take these catches in professional cricket. Bairstow will make you pay/

calm down buddy difficult grab

 

[Hayreddin]

My word. Why do we play these unfit losers?! You've got to take these catches in professional cricket. Bairstow will make you pay/

harsh bro, that was tough and he tried. Good fielding

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Great effort from Azhar.

 

[CricketAnalyst]

Another drop by our golden senior

Good try. He's a short man and it was hit hard. Did well to make sure no boundary.

 

[aniket1911]

This is going to be a big over either way.

 

[ExpressPacer]

Hopefully Imad gets Root in this over.

 

[Square Drive]

Imad to get Root iA.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Imad should be played as salim malik. Straight deliveries.

 

[dauntless]

Azhar?? Seriously!

 

[czar]

This Azhar Ali is a pathetic fielder.

 

[GOAT999]

Good try. He's a short man and it was hit hard. Did well to make sure no boundary.

hes 6 feet lol wat r u saying

 

[Madplayer]

Everyone on PP also wanted Pak to bat first.

Nothing to do with Indian or Pakistani. Just backward approach to cricket from old-school subcontinent people.

It was a joke.

And no, i wanted them to chase. Thats what they should do more often from now on.

 

[ExpressPacer]

Ground fielding needs to improve. Allowing too many singles releases pressure.

 

[pak4life]

root is soo good at picking up singles. Pakistan batsmen could learn a lot from him.

 

[Markhor]

The gulf in class between our batsmen and Root/Bairstow is there for all to see.

Look how easily they rotate strike, find the gaps and are able to accelerate when necessary.

 

[Mag101]

Straight forward catch dropped.... If it were England that would have been out! Azhar ali tut tut.

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Eng made 8-13 less than shastri predicted but he was right about 1 wicket.

 

[Da_Future_Knick]

Pakistan is happy to give away singles. Get an extra man in the circle on the off side and close the singles

 

[Stallion__]

These singles are killing us. Need to stop them.

 

[czar]

Singles Coming easy. Will Pakistan chase 300+ ?

 

[90MPH]

Mid off should be up.

Don't give them easy singles.

 

[The cricket enthusiast]

tht was not as tough as it looked he got touch of his both hands

 

[shariqnoor]

Last 12 balls, 13 runs all in singles and 1 double. We can only dream about this from our batters.
