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

[ToeCrusher2]

Congrats India for winning champions trophy

Thanks bro

 

[MMHS]

These are the time when Azhar needs to step front - he must not leave too many balls of Moeen for FZ.

 

[Markhor]

One of the best opening stands Pakistan have put on for a long, long time in ODIs.

 

[boomboom6]

Hasan and Fakhar, two STUDS in the making !!

 

[Titan24]

Hussey said if Pakistan improves its batting it can be a top side in the world.

Mcculum said I have seen so much talent in PSL and each of that talent can turn the match on its head.

So future looks bright with two tactical geniuses talking about Pakistani talent.

 

[JaDed]

What a joke of a performance from England,look at the field.

 

[F0ulu]

Fakhar is love!

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Hahahah Kapil trolling other commentators on Hindi commentary. He is making fun of English bowling and asking fellow commentators to back his argument of pak chasing it down with in 30 overs. Such a classy guy he is , Never expected an indian to be so unbaised. Reason why he's called legend

Love him in comentry box .

Kapil dev is a real gem I've always noticed that never has been biased in the end hes a Punjabi true and big hearted

 

[Hasan123]

English commies burning) )

 

[the Great Khan]

Here come the Chisty Mujahids of PP defending an opener batting at less than 50 SR in 2017. Sir this is not your 1980s era.

sir this is not a school playground. You can keep your poor analysis to yourself..

 

[explayer]

Done and dusted lol

 

[member250]

ridiculous, no one stopping Pakistan today

 

[QalandarFan]

no stopping This man!

 

[Macho Mann]

there are more pakistani supporters than english supporters in their own home ground feel pity for english team, no one to raise their morale after playing brilliantly in group stages i understand its wales but still

 

[Amjid Javed]

Just need to milk moeen and rashid like cows here.

 

[Raf Pragmatic]

Bro that was one time )

Afridi did 200 times no one gave a bite, Fakhar did one time and whole world is shaking.

 

[TurkishCricketFan]

if anyone can lose from here, you know who that is

 

[Pakistani Pace]

FAKHAR

 

[Markhor]

More pies than a bakery whenever Moeen bowls !
[MENTION=46929]shaz619[/MENTION]

 

[Nelson on]

What a shot

 

[JaDed]

This is not even an upset anymore,it looks like PCT are playing minnows.

 

[Macho Mann]

ridiculous, no one stopping Pakistan today

please dont jinx now

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Just when Michael atherton was wondering whether Fakhar could slow down, he plays the shot of the day

 

[Rayyman]

What a partnership!

We are dominating!!

 

[Amjid Javed]

Hope Fakhar bats through and gets a 100, would be great for his confidence.

 

[shaz619]

More pies than a bakery whenever Moeen bowls !
[MENTION=46929]shaz619[/MENTION]

Rashid is the boss man in that bakery

 

[CricFan2012]

Anyone know where I could get a Pakistani jersey? Seems like this is going to be a cakewalk for Pakistan

 

[shaz619]

Comes Brummie lad with 49.5 average [MENTION=46929]shaz619[/MENTION]

The part timer will get better, Rashid is his mentor [MENTION=53290]Markhor[/MENTION]

 

[Syed1]

When was the last time Pak was 100 odd without loss and inside 20 overs.


)



Pakistan just too good for England.

 

[BDwarriors]

What a lovely batting display by pakistani openers after few years....

 

[super hitter]

Lucky I really want to eat but still 14 odd hours to go.

Has been an easy Ramadan so far...

PAkistan really cruising to victory and as cricinfo says, in a very un-Pakistan like way

 

[sachin-10dulkar]

Highest opening partnership for pakistan in CT since 2000

 

[Markhor]

there are more pakistani supporters than english supporters in their own home ground feel sorry for english team, no one to raise their confidence after playing brilliantly in group stages

They're playing in Wales not England. Rugby and football are the national sports there rather than cricket.

Even for an Ashes Test the atmosphere is awful there !

Still no complaints as a Pakistani fan - we're building a strong record in Cardiff.

 

[Titan24]

Fakhar Azhar combination looks good actually as bith are complementing each other pretty well.

Fakhar Sharjeel would be unfair to the oppositions and their bowlers so I would stick with Azhar and Fakhar.

 

[Azzurri]

Anyone know where I could get a Pakistani jersey? Seems like this is going to be a cakewalk for Pakistan

Send me your adress. i'll post it to you

The last time I remember this happening was in the group stage against Ireland in the 2015 WC

Yeah me too listening him he has always been good alongwith aakash chopra who is also very unbiased.Both the guys are very good

 

[the Great Khan]

great opening partnership from these two. Complement each other well here..

 

[Raf Pragmatic]

if anyone can lose from here, you know who that is

Russia

 

[Barragan]

Sharjeel had a weakness against the ball pitched up and struggled with the drive, but Micky and co. worked him and ironed it out

I'm sure the same will be done with Zam against the short stuff and improve him against it

 

[ChachaPakistani]

Zaman legit looks like he could be Abdul Razzaq's teen son.

 

[Veteran]

Congrats India for winning champions trophy

Realy? I am expecting a Pakistan Bangladesh final. Actually I think Pakistan as they are playing now would rather play India.

 

[Macho Mann]

i just already mentioned in my quoted post with an edit

Against Zimbabwe I think 2 years ago.

 

[Zahid87]

10 wicket win.

With all due respect to Bangladesh, can see an Pakistan-India final on the cards.

All pressure on India - no one expects us to win. And we have changed things from the first game. Fakhar Zaman versus Bumrah and Bhuvaneshwar Kumar! lol

 

[Pakistani Pace]

MashAllah Were Playing So Well

 

[SandyB]

Wow. England still being England. Keep the SA flag flying high ..

Man we need to win tomorrow. The hype will be unreal! Fond memories of watching 2011 at college hostel with at least 60 people.

 

[Specialisttailender]

MADE OUR PURSUIT EASIER

 

[explayer]

There is a team , always in between england and a trophy? Guess the team smarties

this is how teams a re forged..in the fires of a tournament. I expect this partnership to be a regular one now moving forward...imagine them on our uae and other flat pitches lol..

 

[JaDed]

Don't know why am i still sitting around ,match is over,wondering if they can still collapse.

 

[MMHS]

IND-PAK players were best buddies till probably Ganguly took charge. In Dhaka League several IND-PAK players used to play in same team - they would hang around together, travel on adjacent seats, share rooms, kits, food. Gavaskar is probably two of the best buddies of Zaheer & Imran, while Mushtaq/Intekhab's best friend was Bedi. And, that's in every generation.

There was a great mutual respect, which sadly I see these days spoiled to en-cash in social media.

 

[Syed1]

MADE OUR PURSUIT EASIER

If I were Indian I wouldn't be so confident.

 

[msb314]

Azhar tuk tukking now.

 

[TurkishCricketFan]

it is so surreal that this is the same team that was whopped all over the place in the opener,
exclusion of shehzad and wahab has made such a difference.

 

[Kianig89]

Azhar doing his job but at the same time keeping Eng in game

 

[Veteran]

I have rated Fakhar very highly ever since I saw him playing for Pakistan A at Cheltenham last year. In fact thought he had more potential than Sharjil. Much more range in his batting, far superior in the field, and even a handy bowler.

 

[MMHS]

If Poms don't win one ICC event in 2017 or 19, I doubt if our generation would see them too win a 50 over tournament - at least till I have interest in cricket. Pathetic bolters.

 

[sachin-10dulkar]

Watching this match with Hindi commentry, kapil dev at his best.

 

[saabir]

Why Azhar always take's single in the last ball of the over. So frustrating

 

[the Great Khan]

Azhar tuk tukking now.

sensible..the middle overs may be a bit dicey with the ball going soft..

 

[Kianig89]

Vibes off 99 WC sti

 

[shaz619]

Hafeez has a very big smile

 

[member250]

not over yet, these two still need to score 80 runs more

We were too soft a team, that's why we rarely won back then. We needed to antagonize other teams to get that mongrel.. I guess Australia did it for India more than Pakistan.

 

[Amjid Javed]

If we could get sharjeel back in side and open with fakhar that would be awesome.

 

[Hasan123]

Just see wood off and target the spinners.

 

[Pakpak]

Watching this match with Hindi commentry, kapil dev at his best.

Which channel, I am stuck with sky sports stream

 

[Kianig89]

Imagine of we can find more player like Fakkar

 

[Syed1]

Million dollar question, do we drop Rumman and bring Amir back for the next match. Do we bring in Fahim???

 

[Titan24]

Azhar doing his job but at the same time keeping Eng in game

Nope bro 108 in 19 overs is alreadt pretty good. Azhar doesnt need to try anything extra
Both arec complementing each other pretty well.

 

[ExplicitAI]

I've been out all day and I was expected the bowling attack to perform as they did but wow they're batting so well!

 

[Sarfarazian92]

Which channel, I am stuck with sky sports stream

Star sports

 

[Doosara]

I hope the world realises the consistent high calibre skill of the Pakistani bowlers, bowling out top sides for under 250, in an era of 300+ par scores. This Mickey is very much predictable. Kudos to the Pakistani bowling attack.

 

[Kianig89]

Stumped

 

[F0ulu]

20 overs gone after 2 deliveries. Good. Now even rain cant save england.

 

[super hitter]

Azhar shamelessly playing for a 50

 

[captainchoose]

Fakhar should go for 100!!!

 

[Titan24]

Million dollar question, do we drop Rumman and bring Amir back for the next match. Do we bring in Fahim???

If against India than I would drop shadab and bring in Faheem and Amir or Raees is a diffcult call
