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

[IAJ]

Spinner at one end not giving Amir enough breathing time

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Good frm imad

 

[Zak_Fan]

Dhawan looking clueless like he usually is.

 

[Square Drive]

It really should be either Hasan pairing up with Amir, or Hafeez for the leftie.

 

[dauntless]

Good pace and aggression

 

[KingKhanWC]

Bring on hasan next over . Too early For containment lol

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Way to waste the new ball smh

It suggests we don't have much faith in the new ball skills of our pace bowlers bar Amir.

 

[big_gamer007]

Rohit off the mark oh it's on it's on now

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Good shot to get off the mark.

 

[JibranAnsari]

No swing there but you should always start with a fast bowler if not playing in uae.

 

[Arsal_AK]

How is the weather forecast??

 

[Zak_Fan]

So this team's fielding was supposed to be better than India's?

 

[adzzy786]

We need field better poor so far

 

[msb314]

Pitch looks like there is something in it for the bowlers.

 

[90MPH]

Amir - 89MPH.

Good pace.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Should've been 1. Next over should be hasan

 

[Saeed]

Pakistan's fielding already gifted 2 runs.

 

[imshally81]

Bring on hasan next over . Too early For containment lol

He will come after 6 overs

 

[waleed88]

Its a flat track, flat as a patta, getting spinners from Sarf makes sense..

 

[ExpressPacer]

Fielders under immense pressure. They are all over the place.

 

[ExplicitAI]

C'mon guys we need a wicket!

 

[dauntless]

Now he is comfortable damn

 

[HinderTheJinder]

Good bowling from Amir until now

 

[Arsal_AK]

Twice already, come on. At least field decently.

 

[WC-Passion]

So this team's fielding was supposed to be better than India's?

Who What Where When How?

 

[ExpressPacer]

Its a flat track, flat as a patta, getting spinners from Sarf makes sense..

Sure, but I'm not sure if you want to waste the new ball either.

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

He will come after 6 overs

yep. He goes for runs taking he new ball and lose confidence.

 

[Hasan123]

Hopefully this doesn't end like a lot of Amir's spells since his return, beats the bat a lot but not enough wickets

 

[Arham_PakFan]

3 dots in a row.

 

[Haroon786]

Inconsistent second over from Amir thus far.

 

[big_gamer007]

Shabash Rohit shabash

 

[adzzy786]

Upto 90 MPH now amir.

 

[waleed88]

Not sure if Azhar ali or Rohit Sharma

 

[dauntless]

Knock him off amirrr!!

 

[ExpressPacer]

Hope Rohit keeps batting like this.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

2 off the over Sharma 2(12).

Pakistan's openers would be slaughtered if they were playing this slow.

 

[waleed88]

Sure, but I'm not sure if you want to waste the new ball either.

There is no new ball, its a new ball from both ends... so Amir's isn't wasted technically

 

[Square Drive]

Bring Hafeez on for Dhawan. Confuse him!

 

[LegendInzi]

5 runs so far

3 from misfields
1 from wide.

 

[adzzy786]

2 off the over Sharma 2(12).
Pakistan's openers would be slaughtered if they were playing this slow.

He has the Calibre to make it up.
Pakistan openers don't

 

[The intelligent Supporter]

The best batting line up of 27 th century modern criccket going at 1.6 an over lol

 

[Haroon786]

Didn't really find the same line and length that he did in his first over, Amir where he was excellent.

 

[waleed88]

Hasan Ali is first change, so he will still get a first change bowling

 

[Arsal_AK]

Not sure if Azhar ali or Rohit Sharma

The difference though is that Rohit can catch up in two balls.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

India will easily make Up for this whereas we can't

 

[ExplicitAI]

Imad getting milked

 

[imshally81]

Why ashwin isn't playing?

 

[Madplayer]

Why is imad opening? Bakwas

 

[ExpressPacer]

Look at the bloody averages of the Indian team.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

7 off 3.3

 

[LegendInzi]

He has the Calibre to make it up.
Pakistan openers don't

Yep all he has to do is survive initial Amir burst. And then easy pickings.

 

[Markhor]

Need to cut out these fumbles in the field.

Been a fairly economical start. Would like to see Hasan Ali soon.

 

[big_gamer007]

Hasan Ali is a good swing bowler why not him?

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Imad should be taken out off the attack.

 

[adzzy786]

Look at the bloody averages of the Indian team.

And we are happy when our players average 25

 

[AFM]

Fantastic batting

 

[waleed88]

Ganguly doesn't seem too happy with the new ball being giving to Imad, which means its a good decision..

Ganguly is known to be afraid of pace

 

[ExpressPacer]

Sarfi needs to be proactive here. Don't waste the new ball yar

 

[srh]

No attack from Pakistan

 

[Zak_Fan]

Batting won't be easy today. Clouds all over.

 

[explayer]

Thick clouds on the way we needed junaid with amir

 

[ask_analyse_act]

the sun is not out... time for pace and swing...expecting a wicket next over..

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Nice bowling and strategy.

India on the backfoot.

 

[captain crook]

Hasan should have opened the bowling..

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Direct hit but batsman was in.

 

[Bilal7]

Check again. A lot has changed since the toss.

Edit - Nevermind, I see sun now.

Lol, clueless as usual.

 

[ExpressPacer]

Imad lost all the good looks he had, looks like the biggest pindi boy ive ever seen

 

[castortroy]

This containment stuff isn't going to work with this Indian line up

They will inevitably cut lose

 

[letme alone]

go pak keping tight

 

[LegendInzi]

Amir unlucky to have not got wicket in his first over. Sharma was all over the place. He has earned a life.

 

[WC-Passion]

They are just milking Imad for runs what are we doing!?

 

[marlonbrowndo]

That should be it for the Imad experiment. Get hasan on

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

I have seen Hasan going for plenty with the new ball and losing his confidence.

Now he has a good base set.

 

[ExplicitAI]

Desperately need Amir to get a breakthrough, Dhawan looks settled here.

 

[HinderTheJinder]

Rohit Sharma struggling agaianst Amir as always

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

 

[Slog]

Agree with Ganguly

Asinine decision to bowl Imad

 

[big_gamer007]

Good shot first boundary we are underway..

 

[Zak_Fan]

Lol, clueless as usual.

Well, I was right first time. Funny how you quote me now after I have been proven right.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

First of the day.
