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

[MABA]

England will probably score around 300-310, they have some big hitters still coming up in their line up.

 

[Markhor]

Now here comes Stokes who can hit the ball a mile.

MUST get him out early !

 

[JibranAnsari]

beast coming to bat

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Root Gone!!!

 

[Asif321]

good sharp catch by kaptaan

 

[CricketAnalyst]

It's a much more difficult wicket. Anything over 270 would be very difficult to chase down for any team, let alone Pakistan.

270 is an easy chase.

270 is old days equivalent of 215.

 

[Sane.Cricket.Fan]

WICKETS AT Regular intervals.. Nice

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Botham v2.0 on the crease

 

[ExpressPacer]

This is in Cardiff in Wales not England. In Wales, rugby and football are the most popular sports.

Its a very dull ground with little atmosphere even for an Ashes Test.

I remember reading an article on how cricket is growing faster in Wales compared to England. The reason for it being a dull crowd is probably because Indians have already bought all the tickets.

 

[pak4life]

Good Catch! Phew the umpire gave it out with no review we would have been done once again.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Have to get stokes early. Keep Hafeez on and bring on hasan from the other end

 

[Kianig89]

Shady zabardast

 

[Ankit007]

Hell yeah, India losing again.

India losing? Didnt get you

 

[MMHS]

Shadab has 4'3 overs - give him Test field & encourage him to get 2/34 in next 4'3 overs. ENG'll struggle to post a match wining total.

 

[TM Riddle]

no he will have a decent career with medical treatment the way it is in england and especially for athletes. Not like our lullo punju system where people like muhammed Zahid are given "maalish" instead of proper treatment..

) Whattt???

 

[amax]

very crucial wicket bring back junaid

 

[JaDed]

Root bottles out as well in semis, upto Stokes and Eoin again!

 

[Madplayer]

Great captaincy and field placements

 

[Enigma_]

Here's the danger man. Get him and it is game on.

 

[ExpressPacer]

Stokes is a bigger choker than the entire South African cricket team combined. Hopefully he gets out to Imad or Shadab ASAP.

 

[Kianig89]

This is game now Stokes Morgan uncouple them ASAP

 

[Titan24]

Very good bt sarfaraz have a player with helmet under the nose of stokes

 

[CricVet]

Stoke will struggle. This wicket is too dry for power hitting

 

[Mamoon]

Massive wicket.

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Need to get Stokes early now.

 

[IMMY69]

Now lets get Stokes out cheaply

 

[Markhor]

) Whattt???

I think a book can be written on PCB's mismanagement of Mohammad Zahid.

 

[Suleiman]

Guess you can say...

Root was enRoute to another century

 

[Sane.Cricket.Fan]

Stokes the costliest ipl 2017 player

 

[Rayyman]

Hoga apna ghar ka Anwar

 

[Kianig89]

Hasan Alibfrom other end

 

[Markhor]

Great captaincy and field placements

But but Sarfraz's English...

 

[MMHS]

43, 13, 46 - these are actually match losing syndrome. But, Poms has a tremendous bottom half.

 

[Madplayer]

English pandya survives.

 

[Kianig89]

Short leg

 

[Colt]

Shadab asking for another close fielder, Sarfraz not giving him one..

 

[Saeed]

India losing? Didnt get you

Our chance to defeat you guys in Final are getting higher.

 

[Stallion__]

He hasn't got even a single googly right today

 

[Kianig89]

Great we are still in the game

 

[Cinnamon_Cookie]

pak should restrict england within 250.. anything beyond 250 will be difficult for pak in this tricky pitch

 

[JaDed]

Massive wicket.

Couldn't take the pressure!!

 

[Mlscicfan]

Root failed to dominate in crucial knock-out match again! 2

 

[BlueAngel]

Aaj Pakistan ne kisi ki fifty nahi hone deni

 

[Kianig89]

Squeeze'em

 

[Sane.Cricket.Fan]

India losing? Didnt get you

Delusional. LOL

 

[Markhor]

Stokes has scored two hundreds in the last four ODIs.

 

[Coconut]

Come on poms. U guys r running my evening. Stop this rubbish tuk tuking.

 

[Kianig89]

Bowling in tandem

 

[Kianig89]

Super stuff

 

[Sane.Cricket.Fan]

Our chance to defeat you guys in Final are getting higher.

Let the Pak batsman bat first LOL

 

[shaz619]

But but Sarfraz's English...

Theresa May does not speak English very well either but she's a very good strong and stable leader

 

[Titan24]

Hafeez 6 overs none for 24

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Single off Hafeez's over.

 

[CricketAnalyst]

Hafeez earning his place with bowling today.

Good so far and with two lefties he should jsut bowl out.

 

[Madplayer]

Need wickets . 2 More wickets in next 5 overs..these englishmen can always catch up.

 

[super hitter]

2 lefties, whats the plan from here on, shadab may not be the real deal

 

[Stallion__]

These two are not as good in rotating the strike as Root. Pakistan can afford to attack here.

 

[shaz619]

The key wicket for us will be Moeen Ali, the sooner we get the beard out the better

 

[asadee]

Hafeez 6 overs none for 24

Can this give his batting confidence?

 

[Nostalgic]

Run rate under 4.5 now.

 

[daytrader]

Certainly is when Sehwag says so

LOL

it's offensive if somebody else says so. Kind like if you call a black person a n*** it'll be offensive but if they call each other that it's perfectly fine

 

[Hayreddin]

Either last 10 overs of England's innings will be good for us. or it'll be curtains for us.

 

[Sohail11]

Yaar this stokes guy has really been showing why his earning the big bucks in ipl..

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Excellent fight

 

[Saeed]

Let the Pak batsman bat first LOL

We will chase it down but you guys must defeat BL to play final with us.

 

[Madplayer]

 

[Lynx]

This is Shadab's day. At least one more massive wicket coming his way.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

 

[Titan24]

Good shot by morgan

 

[Asif321]

hahahahah sarfraz is funny .. dive maarrr

 

[super hitter]

2 lefties, whats the plan from here on, shadab may not be the real deal

As I said, Shadab need sto be taken off, may be Malik should be given a few, spins it a bit

 

[LastManstanding]

I have a bad feeling Pakistan are going to win this somehow.

 

[Speedster1]

Excellent bowling. Spin seems to have choked the poms a lil

 

[Enigma_]

These are the two we must get out early to stand a chance. All or nothing now.

 

[czar]

Shadab is a very good fielder of his own bowling.

 

[Titan24]

Awesome feilding by shadab

 

[Stallion__]

Shadab need to work on his consistency. Bowl some dross in between.

 

[Ankit007]

Our chance to defeat you guys in Final are getting higher.

) okay

 

[classic]

Spin all the way from here ...Let them take shots ..

 

[Ankit007]

I have a bad feeling Pakistan are going to win this somehow.

Its a good feeling mate
