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

[Boi]

Any sign of reversing?

lol not in these wet conditions

 

[Crafty_Indian]

This is good from amir. Some modicum of normalcy.

 

[CricFan2012]

India should play cautiously now and get 300, win by 100 runs in the end.

 

[Ellipsism]

Need Hasan on.

 

[amvbfm]

Again what has become typical Pakistani captaincy during the last 10 years: worry about the last 10 when you are being destroyed presently. Put all the fielders out and be content conceding 6-7 easy runs every over and then get tonked in the last 10. Barring an Indian collapse, this match is as good as over.

 

[ExplicitAI]

Good over from Amir

 

[Rayyman]

India can afford to be defensive against Amir and still get 300.

We'll chase 300 easily on this phatta.

 

[LegendInzi]

Only Amir is a player of calibre in this team of hacks.

 

[BD-fan]

324 total.

double of 162/1 after 30 overs.

 

[captain crook]

No worry guys.. this is a 350 pitch. Indians are actually not playing well.

 

[Sane.Cricket.Fan]

I think I can see more Blue T shirts in the crowd than Green shirts

 

[jattafridi]

Good over Aamir

 

[imshally81]

Lol.. Rohit is playing a test match

Rohit is scared

 

[troodon]

Poor batting by Rohit.

So much batting to come and yet no risks taken.

1 run is inexcusable.

 

[HinderTheJinder]

Can't blame Sarfraz.He needs to have pacers in death overs

 

[Square Drive]

Very very good from Amir.

Bring Malik on from the other end I guess. Need to get the 5th bowler's quota out of the way ASAP.

 

[CricVet]

Nauseating commentary from Indians...not that Pakistanis are any better

 

[Pete Rose]

pretty sure sarfaraz will bowl him for two overs and then bring him back at the end.

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

Amir bowling well but not getting wickets everyone else is given plenty

 

[ExpressPacer]

I think I can see more Blue T shirts in the crowd than Green shirts

Ramzan.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Hasan back

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Joke playing 2 spinners.

Fahim would have been ok here.

Watch us struggle against pace

 

[TalentSpotterPk]

Bring Hasan on from other end for 2 overs.

 

[Square Drive]

Last thing we wanna see is Wahab bowl death

 

[troodon]

Dhawan should have stayed, score would have been 180 by now.

 

[Mainul]

Indians being hurt by the presence of Rohit.Sooner he gets out,the better.

 

[Rayyman]

Very very good from Amir.

Bring Malik on from the other end I guess. Need to get the 5th bowler's quota out of the way ASAP.

Wahab?

 

[Ellipsism]

Signs of seam from Hasan.
[MENTION=139678]Zak_Fan[/MENTION]

 

[PerfectionPersonified]

Bd supporters getting excited for no reason

 

[jnaveen1980]

Sharma playing extremely slowly.

He can make up for it. That is why not many get mad after him. If Rahane had done the same people would have been ****** off.

 

[Pakistani Pace]

Good ball

 

[ExplicitAI]

This "plan" by Sarfraz and co was terrible, don't really get why we qualified for the CT anyway.

 

[Coconut]

Sanju, just shut up dude.

 

[ExpressPacer]

Sanju, just shut up dude.

Best post you've ever made.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Hasan bowling well so far

 

[Macho Mann]

wahab selection was a big risk and gamble done by micky arthur

 

[Sane.Cricket.Fan]

Poor batting by Rohit.

So much batting to come and yet no risks taken.

1 run is inexcusable.

LOL .. hit the ball and give chance for the opposition to get his wicket

 

[CricFan2012]

He can make up for it. That is why not many get mad after him. If Rahane had done the same people would have been ****** off.

Exactly, people need to chill, Sharma has already gotten 2 double hundreds and he started slow there too. Rahane has only one gear

 

[Mainul]

No worry guys.. this is a 350 pitch. Indians are actually not playing well.

Pakistan will choke chasing more than 250.

 

[ExpressPacer]

Wish we hadn't qualified.

 

[Coconut]

Listening to sanju and saurav is a real pain. Terrible commentators

 

[Iffitheking]

Only rain can save Pakistan from humiliation

 

[Haroon786]

Hasan Ali has been impressive.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Brilliant over by Hasan.

 

[Crafty_Indian]

Dhawan should have stayed, score would have been 180 by now.

It seems like you have not yet transitioned out of IPL mode.

 

[fasihulhaq94]

rohit sharma playing for us right now

 

[CricVet]

This "plan" by Sarfraz and co was terrible, don't really get why we qualified for the CT anyway.

I guess we will find out by Wed night after playing RSA!

 

[HinderTheJinder]

What is Rohit trying to do?

 

[dauntless]

Good over by hasan

 

[captain crook]

Great pull back from Amir and Hasan..

 

[Square Drive]

Rohit tiring.

Wicket soon IA.

 

[ExpressPacer]

Terrific over.

 

[Hasan123]

Hasan Ali and Shadab have bowled well

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Very good from hasan

 

[ExplicitAI]

If Azhar batted like Rohit he would've received so much stick on here

 

[Barragan]

Surprised Hafeez hasn't been given an over yet

He is better than Malik, so very surprising

 

[BaaliSoda]

Rohit is struggling to rotate strike and putting pressure on Kohli, now.

Good bowling by Hasan and Amir, so far.

 

[Ellipsism]

Hasan is quality, really is a good bowler.

 

[ExpressPacer]

[MENTION=139678]Zak_Fan[/MENTION] [MENTION=132916]Junaids[/MENTION] hope you folks are watching

 

[Square Drive]

Fantastic stuff from Hasan!

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Great over

 

[Arham_PakFan]

If Azhar batted like Rohit he would've received so much stick on here

Azhar has one gear.Sharma has like 5

 

[Arsal_AK]

Terrific two overs from Amir and Hassan. Hassan has bowled some great bouncers.

 

[Haripotter]

Sharma ji playing a azhar Ali kinda innings and helping out Pakistan here

 

[Mainul]

Amir's bowling figure stands out.Only 15 from 5,extracted respect from the Indians.

 

[Macho Mann]

wahab's selection is costing a lot to pakistan

 

[PakFan2010]

This is such an awful side.

Where is Afridi?

He performed well in the PSL!

 

[shehz]

Wow with proper line and length seam bowling is not that easy for the batsmen! Indians made a great move by sitting out Ashwin and going with 4 pacers! ..and we have Wahab the sprayer..two spinners! what a waste!

 

[Haroon786]

We'll chase 300 easily on this phatta.

That's just optimism.

Pakistan have only chased 300 a handful of times.

 

[ExplicitAI]

Could've just had Junaid in this match and subbed in Wahab in the field as 12th man.

 

[LegendInzi]

I wouldn't be confident if India called it over at this stage and we had to chase 164. Can you seriously imagine Shahzad, Hafeez, Malik, Azhar to face Bhuvi, Yadav, Jadeja et al. and pull off a successful chase. All of them are mental midgets and bottlers of highest order.

Our best chance was if bowlers had skittled them out for a paltry score, which they have clearly failed.

 

[ExpressPacer]

Hasan is quality, really is a good bowler.

Have you noticed how [MENTION=139678]Zak_Fan[/MENTION] disappears as soon as Pak starts doing good lol

 

[dauntless]

Sarfraz has been terrible today with field placements

 

[Coconut]

Rohit is playing too defensively. 300 is par on this wicket. Not so sure about the tactic of the Indian team here.

 

[New Yorker]

Bring on Hasan Ali or Amir. There is no use in saving them.

This is how Wahab will literally loose you matches. Can neither take wickets nor contain. What is Sarfarz supposed to do? I If he bowls out Amir and Hasan this early the Indians will go to town in the closing PP overs. At least now he can contain runs. People are deluding themselves about the importance of Kohli's wicket. There is no, get a wicket and we are into the tail situation here. There is hardly any tail. So he doesn't have to score to make an impact. If you expend your only two good bowlers I trying to get him out the rest of the Indian batting order will do his job. They have enough firepower and some to score heavily in the PP overs.

 

[TalhaSyed]

Need 4 overs from Malik and/or Hafeez at some stage to avoid having Wahab bowl again

 

[syed abbas]

Mshallah Hassan.He sholud have been given the new ball.

 

[CricVet]

Mickey sahab kafi tense hain...plaeyrs say bhee zyada shayad...

 

[LegendInzi]

This is such an awful side.

Where is Afridi?

He performed well in the PSL!

Lol

Teri yaad aai tere jaane ke baad!

 

[ExpressPacer]

This is such an awful side.

Where is Afridi?

He performed well in the PSL!

Still stuck in 2010 huh bud?
