What's new

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

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.

They both could be out by now.

Pakistan have created a lot of chances. Very unlucky that England are only one down.
 
England off to a rollicking start. Atmosphere so dull really. And why not arrange these matches at the afternoon?
 
Shadab might be a good wicket taking options but he bowls some loose balls, which release any sort of pressure.
 
England's mental ability has changed a lot in 2 years , remarkable turnaround.
 
Shadab hasn't been bowling the same way as he did in WI or the PSL. Has stopped bowling his best delivery.
 
What is
Safraz doing. Have a slip and leg slip attack man. What kind of strategy is this. We dont have 300 runs chasing batsmen. Even for imad no slip.
 
poor first over by shadab. those short bowl shadab usually gives wont hurt the likes of these two.
 
Shabab need to bowl wicket to wicket and hope the best. Safraz not giving him any favour with field set.
 
England rotating strike so easily, that is exactly what allows them to post huge scores
 
My wife saying that she wants Pakistan to win, that will ensure that cup comes to Asia. I didn't want to start a fight, but disappointed with her.
 
Shadab being targetted but he is good enough to come back
 
lol one over from the 18 year old and u guys already bashing u dont realize these guys are the worst players of spin bowling in the world and also this bairstow should have been out
 
Pathetic that Indians have bought all the tickets and the crowd looks so dull..
 
Pakistan made a tactical blunder by not having Ashraf in playing eleven. If Pakistan's game is dependent on getting England out cheaply then they might be out of game in first half.

Ashraf was required to provide impetus down the order, shouldn't have been dropped.
 
Shadab will get u wicket but have a slip and mid on and off up. Let them play across the line. Safraz is afraid of being hit for runs.
 
Dammit i cringe thinking about azhar opening and hafeez at 4. Total screw up by team management.
