[Madplayer]

Will babar be able to read googly?

 

[Titan24]

Fakhar saving the century for the final!

 

[JaDed]

Collapse is on.

Anti-jinx.

 

[Hasan123]

Dam, Fakhar gone

 

[Pakistani Pace]

Lol you jinxed him.

oh crap.

 

[Speedster1]

Good knock from Azhar in a high pressure situation , credit to him; love his courage despite the flaws; the man is a true patriot, he's not perfect but he gives everything 200%

Defo this my feelings towards Azhar too he is gritty and does his all however limited he may be

 

[Boi]

Babar needs to stand up and finish not out here. He's had way too quiet a tournament so far

 

[aniket1911]

Can we see a trademark Pakistani style hot and spicy collapse here?

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Great innings great ball

 

[Macho Mann]

Faheem isn't a good enough bowler in my opinion

yes but he is a great batsman, really need him more than amir mediocre bowling

 

[Syed1]

Time for Babar to see us home.

 

[ExpressPacer]

Good lad walked.

 

[member250]

surely Pakistan can't loss now? 94 needed with 9 wickets...

 

[Big Mac]

Fakhar should be dropped for getting out to Rashid

 

[Titan24]

Will babar be able to read googly?

Struggled in PSL reading shadab's googly but then who didnt

 

[Madplayer]

Good situation for Babar to come in

He needs to be vary of the googly. Because he doesnt watch the hand and read its off the pitch, he is vulnerable.

 

[MMHS]

MUST not bog down - Poms are on mat. Azhar MUST, MUST go after, be it risking a wicket.

 

[Hasan123]

Babar off the mark.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Hahaha what was that azhar?

 

[Rathore]

Unusual for us Pakistani supporters to be in this relaxed mood. This is how supporters of other teams must normally feel!!

 

[JaDed]

England don't even look like they have got a wicket.

 

[F0ulu]

??

50 of 70 balls is normal for him. We just needed that.

He is batting none like himself. Not his sr but the way hes playing. Doesnt look hesitant

 

[JibranAnsari]

Hope they do not go into shell and screw up the chase.

 

[JaDed]

Lmao@ Azhar

 

[Titan24]

Can we see a trademark Pakistani style hot and spicy collapse here?

Sorry bro! Not happening

 

[member250]

rashid is spinning

 

[Hasan123]

MUST not bog down - Poms are on mat. Azhar MUST, MUST go after, be it risking a wicket.

A quick 20 here and it's game over.

 

[ExpressPacer]

Hopefully Babar Azam finds some form before the all important final.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

yes but he is a great batsman, really need him more than amir mediocre bowling

Amir won us the last match with the bat along with Sarf

 

[Madplayer]

Struggled in PSL reading shadab's googly but then who didnt

He tries to read it off the pitch. Thats why he is more or less a dud against a quality googly.

 

[Pakistani Pace]

Azhar trying to kick the ball away

 

[imshally81]

Dropped..

 

[Syed1]

Unusual for us Pakistani supporters to be in this relaxed mood. This is how supporters of other teams must normally feel!!

Kasam se.. The last time I was this relaxed when Pak was chasing in a big game was when Lala and Mian were batting in the 2009 T20 WC.

 

[Raf Pragmatic]

The Akmals are back

 

[the Great Khan]

3 runs an over so tailor made for azhar and co to tuk tuk us to the finish line..Azhar needs to stay till the end..

 

[Rayyman]

Shut up damn Indian fans in crowd

 

[Last Monetarist]

This ain't over by any measure. Never underestimate the Pakistani propensity for a senseless collapse.

 

[Madplayer]

Shut up damn Indian fans in crowd

What happened lol

 

[MMHS]

A quick 20 here and it's game over.

ONLY way Poms can win is 5/6 tight overs & then both batsmen out. Poms are much, much tense & demoralized here - one has to hurt their ego.

 

[ChachaPakistani]

Its very important for Babar to stay put until the end of this chase. He needs to get back in form.

 

[JaDed]

What happened lol

Shouting Indiaa Indiaaa )

 

[Arham_PakFan]

What happened lol

Chanting 'India,India'

 

[Titan24]

He tries to read it off the pitch. Thats why he is more or less a dud against a quality googly.

Yes. Lets hope he has imrpoved

 

[Macho Mann]

indian fans chanting indian slogans in a pak vs england match

these indians do try to penetrate pakistani match with their fans and commentators indian fans are so desperate (im not generalizing all fans)

 

[Pollack]

Well done! Pakistan bowlers were superb today. Hatsoff.
Can Bangladesh give India a fight tommorow?

 

[aniket1911]

Babar looking in touch today, driving the ball well.

 

[Crafty_Indian]

Why are the commies going on about this pitch. It is a decent one. No one likes to play on highways surely? And it isn't a minefield either. Am I missing something?

 

[Hasan123]

ONLY way Poms can win is 5/6 tight overs & then both batsmen out. Poms are much, much tense & demoralized here - one has to hurt their ego.

Strike has been rotated well since Fakhar was dismissed.

 

[Titan24]

Azhar needs to go till the end thats what his job should be

 

[ChachaPakistani]

NO one should be hating on Azhar's strike rate right now. Rohit has a very similar rate himself. As long as he's hitting boundaries rotating the strike and protecting his wicket he's doing great.

 

[Rayyman]

Azhar playing well

 

[Syed1]

Where is that Bangli lad who wasn't even giving Pakistan a 10% chance of winning but was giving BD 40% chance of beating India.

) ) )

 

[Veteran]

In

Fakhar saving the century for the final! ��

InshaAllah.

 

[amax]

try to bring required under 50 by playing cautiously

 

[JaDed]

They can't spin much,they can't ball cutters so much for the English bowling attack when the sun comes up.

 

[Titan24]

What a shot by babar!!!

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Babar!

 

[dauntless]

Kya baat hai babar

 

[aniket1911]

Babar treating rashid for the bowler he is

 

[Syed1]

Why are the commies going on about this pitch. It is a decent one. No one likes to play on highways surely? And it isn't a minefield either. Am I missing something?

The pitch is so hard to bat on that Pakistan have lost a grand total of ONE wicket in nearly half the innings.

 

[ExplicitAI]

Lol I told everyone that Sarfraz is miles better than Azhar as captain, we've changed as a team.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Shot of the day from Babar

 

[explayer]

Having a good partner at the other end can be a good thing in cricket. look how junaid turned it around with amir from other end and look how confident azhar looks with fakhar at the other end

 

[Barragan]

What a shot by Azam

 

[JaDed]

Lol smacked for

 

[Hasan123]

Where is that Bangli lad who wasn't even giving Pakistan a 10% chance of winning but was giving BD 40% chance of beating India.

) ) )

In hiding. Embarrassing fan base.

 

[member250]

reverse swing made all the difference!

 

[msb314]

Six by Babar!!!!!!!

 

[Syed1]

Six to Rash by Bobby. [MENTION=53290]Markhor[/MENTION] pacing around nervously

 

[Pakistani Pace]

Babar!

 

[Titan24]

Get ready India or Bangladesh!! Pakistan is in form

 

[Hasan123]

Great shot by Babar.

 

[Pete Rose]

Ramiz is saying wood is down, is trying to stretch

 

[MMHS]

Nothing gives me more pleasure than Adil going for a beating - nothing personal, but that guy has got half of his wickets with full toss.

 

[JaDed]

Ok getting tired now,England are back to their dull form of cricket.

 

[kingusama92]

Azam being savage.

 

[Pakistani Pace]

Best Bat In Pakistan

 

[dauntless]

Babar better score a fifty today

 

[shah_1]

England look lost

 

[Hasan123]

[MENTION=79064]MMHS[/MENTION], this approach good enough lol?
