ICC CT 2017 | India v Pakistan | 4th June, 2017 | Birmingham | India innings

[Rayyman]

Just need one more wicket. And we're into the tail.

 

[Ellipsism]

Got to bring in Amir or Hasan.

If Sarfi doesn't then...

 

[Mainul]

Shoib Malik is the leading wicket taker in this team.LOL.....

 

[Hasan123]

Imad to Kohli ) ). Why not bring Hasan or Amir on?

 

[Square Drive]

Either Imad/Amir need to come back on.

 

[syed abbas]

Why isnt Yasir playing?

Q bhai?500 runs karna chahatay ho kia?

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Imad Wasim back into the attack.

 

[CricFan2012]

Just need one more wicket. And we're into the tail.

Are you sure brother? Even Bhuvi can whack a few

 

[Mlscicfan]

Ab bol

Lucky wicket though ...

 

[JibranAnsari]

Lmao do you even have any wrists left to slit?

Got him out on a full toss , what a delivery. Lol.

 

[Ellipsism]

And brings in Imad

 

[CricVet]

Legend in

Ind Pak main sari legendary nikal jati hay...but he is world class no doubt...

 

[Rayyman]

Are you sure brother? Even Bhuvi can whack a few

Are you really scared of Bhuvi?!?

 

[Square Drive]

Imad shouldn't get more than an over here.

 

[CricFan2012]

This is so pathetic by Sarfraz, handing the match to Kholi on a platter. Plays a spinner against the captain so he can settle in

 

[Arsal_AK]

Kohli come in, Sarfraz brings on Immad. I am at a loss for words.

 

[Ellipsism]

Pakistan making sure Kohli scores his customary hundred against us.

 

[imshally81]

Where's Hafeez

 

[big_gamer007]

Kohli looking comfortable so far should have got Aamir in for an over or two against kohli

 

[captain crook]

And brings in Imad

Good time to get his overs done

 

[ftbno1]

Shikar k baad Virat ko set karane k liye bheja hai Imad ko. Thanks Sarfaraz bhai

 

[Azzurri]

Shadab is a mighty good fielder

 

[ExpressPacer]

Can Ganguly stop crying?!

 

[Madplayer]

And brings in Imad

Defensive captaincy. Best time to get imad's overs out when kohli is new. But like i said. Defensive captaincy. Just like dhoni's use of part timers when wickets used to fall.

 

[shaaik]

There's no turn in this pitch and we are welcoming The new batsman with spin. This is stupidity at its extreme.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Amir should bowl against Kohli.

 

[Rayyman]

Imad has bowled well today

 

[daytrader]

Shoib Malik is the leading wicket taker in this team.LOL.....

He's a legend

 

[CricFan2012]

Are you really scared of Bhuvi?!?

His bowling is indeed scary. Bowls 140+ KPH these days, has a vicious slower ball and Yorker. Probably the best bowler going into the match

 

[shariqnoor]

Horrible selection with Wahab and Shadab firstly. Then opening the bowling with Imad completely negating the new ball aspect. And now feeding Kohli a harmless spinner first up. No wonder we are absolutely shambolic. Horrible captaincy and gameplan by Mickey Arthur.

 

[Boi]

That one over from Wahab has put us back otherwise the bowling hasn't been bad

 

[Square Drive]

Very good from Imad.

Now bowl Amir in tandem with Shadab.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Poor captaincy from Sarfraz so far.

 

[joly]

Shadab has looked good. simple old style leg spin bowler .....good

 

[ExpressPacer]

Ganguly is the most annoying commentator ever.

 

[CricVet]

good job Imad in the over...

 

[adil_909]

No point saving Amir, we need to get wickets now

 

[JibranAnsari]

Lol bus imad wasim ke overs khatam kerwao

 

[Coconut]

Sarfraz is too defensive. Rubbish captaincy.

 

[Pakistani Pace]

Stupidity

 

[Ellipsism]

Imad has bowled well today

If you mean looking non-threatening and simply conserving runs then ok.

 

[CricFan2012]

Lmao do you even have any wrists left to slit?

There's a difference between wrist slitting and seeing things how they are. This is one of the worst Pakistan teams ever and has no chance in this match.

Pakistans cricketing forumla won't work anymore. Bowlers are cannon fodders, teams with the best batters will win so Pakistans strength has thus been nullified.

 

[Sane.Cricket.Fan]

Should have got in Aamir... why allow Virat to settle?

 

[pillionrider]

What's amir in the team for? To bowl some death overs? It won't matter by then if Rohit is around. He will plunder him. Sarfaraz showing all bluster doesn't equate good captain

 

[saabir]

Why no pacers bowling. Overcast conditions

 

[BD-fan]

milking singles and getting ready to launch.

 

[amvbfm]

Its very easy to criticize the team as a disappointed fan but sadly Pakistan's failures in this match are so obvious that they deserve to be criticized. Don't know what the team management is thinking. Atrocious decision to play Wahab, and then opening with Imad when Pakistan knew their only chance in this game was to knock over India's top 2/3 and target their out of form middle order. Would be very very difficult to come back from here. And Sarfaraz once again showing he isn't the aggressive captain he is touted to be. He is just too tentative and conservative to win matches with the subpar talent Pakistan have at the moment.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Sarfraz is more defensive than misbah.

We need a better captain after ct.

 

[shaaik]

We just don't freaking learn..

 

[saabir]

Why hafeez not bowling

 

[adil_909]

If you mean looking non-threatening and simply conserving runs then ok.

All depends on what the final total is. If we can restrict india to about 300 then yes his overs will have proved valuable

 

[ExpressPacer]

Great. Give Virat some practice vs spinners to settle in. Iss sy tou behtar tha Wahab ko ly atay..

 

[Hasan123]

The way to stop Virat in LO, is to stop him from getting singles early in his innings.

 

[Pete Rose]

still thinking defensively, trying to get rid of quick overs rather than wickets.

 

[amvbfm]

Why hasn't he bought Amir with Kohli new at the crease? This is atrocious captaincy.

 

[AFG_Brit]

Lol no one has heard of them, it's probably not on PP mate

Mate, you need to visit time pass section and you will see!

 

[Hamza_]

Sarfraz is such a pathetic captain. Should have attacked with a Pacer when Kohli is new. Do you want him to get settled?

 

[HinderTheJinder]

Giving easy singles

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Amir or Hasan should bowl now

 

[Macho Mann]

what a poor throw, pakistan has been really really bad at fielding

 

[castortroy]

Attack kholi ***. Not with spin

 

[troodon]

India needs to take a few more risks.

330 is par score here.

 

[Madplayer]

Good length and wide, a way to get virat knick it to the wk

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

6 freaking singles

 

[Boi]

Imad is so slow in the field

 

[IMMY69]

Imad Wasim not a very good fielder

 

[Ankit007]

Pak has won already if they get kohli out before 40 runs

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Instead Imad is back *** sarfraz?

 

[ExpressPacer]

Imad again? Atrocious captaincy, yaar. He's economical, sure. But don't give Kohli batting practice, man.

 

[Ellipsism]

All depends on what the final total is. If we can restrict india to about 300 then yes his overs will have proved valuable

In the modern day you can't restrict the flow of runs without taking wickets. Something Imad is clearly incapable of.

 

[Pete Rose]

shadab's lengths are poor. wet ball etc.

 

[shariqnoor]

8 singles in 8 balls. We can't do that even if our batsmen were offered 10 million rupees each.

 

[adil_909]

Amir better bowl the next over

 

[Arsal_AK]

Immad showing how good he is in the field too. But hey at-least he has shades on, who care about the rest.

 

[castortroy]

Kholi will cruise to a 80-90 here with no pressure

 

[Sunzi]

Easy mode.

 

[Haripotter]

First boundary for

 

[Colt]

Mate, you need to visit time pass section and you will see!

No one gives a crap about that hell hole.

Stop trolling match threads by mentioning some god damn travel agency.

 

[imshally81]

Sarfraz is more defensive than misbah.

We need a better captain after ct.

Actual captain is Mickey here...

 

[AFG_Brit]

haha intelligence and NDS ?? joke

I am not defending them, they could be a joke but they get a lot of credit!
