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

[msb314]

finally a boundary.

 

[Jatt_bonebreaker]

if pakistan scores over 200 this match they should feel they have won

 

[RobinJay]

Hope Shadab outscores Hafeez the Mighty

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Agree the bowling could have been tighter and the opening batsman could have batted with a better strike rate.

Ground fielding hasn't been great today

Yep. The bowling and fielding in particular are not upto the mark.

 

[Hasan123]

Shadab should use this time as batting practice lol

 

[BaaliSoda]

Boundaries are flowing now

 

[OmaIR1]

Predicted this type of innings from Pakistan months ago. Pakistan never learn.

 

[Zak_Fan]

Sharmnak fielding. Laanat.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Sarf going for the draw

 

[BaaliSoda]

Rising star strikes, sarfraz gone

 

[WC-Passion]

150 up

 

[Sane.Cricket.Fan]

[Ashraful_Rox]

That's how Ashraful used to get out, ha ha Sarfraz

 

[castortroy]

We won't ever beat India with winners like kholi in their team. He will always own us like today and like he has done for years now

 

[Abdul]

Captain leading from the front. )

 

[Mainul]

Pakistan won't win any match in this CT.

 

[aniket1911]

what the hell happened to our fielding today?
are we giving competition to Pakistan.

 

[Pete Rose]

Pakistan's performance in this tournament is all on Inzi

 

[Hasan2K8]

How bad is Pakistan now in ODI's? Absolutely disgusting batting. Lose fine but lose with a fight.

 

[Cricketfan2016]

losing a single match in Group B is as good as almost out of the tournament

Will win with better rr next match

 

[captain crook]

And Pandya gives a sendoff to Sarfi..

 

[Vayuu]

That was difficult, but ya fielding has been atrocious, I still believe we are much better than this.

 

[Ankit007]

Well I don't feel like even trolling Pak fans now... This is pathetic from Pakistan team. Indo Pak matches losing their credibility now.. sigh

 

[-=Umair=-]

why didn't they sent phasssst bowler over aamir to bat

 

[SameerK]

Umar Akmal is so much better than Haffez & Shehzad

If he can actually act like an athlete and have proper fitness he would be in this team but that's another on going issue with our side which Mickey is attempting to improve in fitness. We've got way too many issues. No good opener, weak middle order and what only one really good fast bowler in Amir.

 

[adil_909]

hafeez and wahab riaz should be sent back to pakistan as soon as this game is over. wahab is already "injured" so perfect excuse to send hm back. maybe we can fly in the pakistani Roman Reigns instead. and hafeez should just do us all a favor and offer to leave. didn't bowl today, and with batting both both azhar and malik out by his stupid batting and putting pressure on his partner.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

This drubbing today will be enuf for pak to be Kicked out of the CT

 

[Vitaly]

Now India can Top the Group if they win by 97 runs or more.

 

[makkage]

We need to beat Pakistan by above 96 runs to move above South Africa in Points Table.

Not a problem. Consider it done

 

[Rayyman]

Captain leading from the front. )

Stop targeting players. It's a team game.

 

[Mlscicfan]

Hobbit Captain gone ... Lol. Better luck next time, try to respect higher ranked teams before giving bold statements in press mate.

 

[WC-Passion]

Probably our worst fielding performance in a while, Jaddu an exception.

That's true but it has got slightly better as the innings has gone on.

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

Why is amir batting, i thought he is injured?

Is was because of him that we conceded so many at the end, Imad had to bowl last over.

 

[Cricketfan2016]

Pandya keeps bashing low ranked teams man...

Rsa aus and eng mehh

 

[Vayuu]

what the hell happened to our fielding today?
are we giving competition to Pakistan.

We are deffo better than this, may be an off day today hopefully things will improve,from now on.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Pakistan won't win any match in this CT.

BD might have had a real chance if they were in the same group.

 

[Napa]

Pandya didn't even celebrate after getting Sarfraz. Indian players seem bored now.

 

[Ankit007]

But what was the out of the box plan that sarfu was talking yesterday of?? And why did he say that India is scared of playing Pakistan?? And why every Pakistani bowler was vying for kohli wicket but none took it. Pakistan is all talk....

 

[JaDed]

Kohli was decent. He upped the ante at the right time. Rohit had a shocker today. SR of 70 is pedestrian.

Don't think we can play like this against other teams.

 

[Bengaluru]

With this level of fielding, noway India is going to win the CT. We must use this match as a 3rd practice match and sort our fielding out.

 

[PennOne]

Why is amir batting, i thought he is injured?

Is was because of him that we conceded so many at the end, Imad had to bowl last over.

he had a calf Cramp according to team camp. once he left the field due to timing laws he couldnt bowl anyways because of the number of overs remaining.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

You have to wonder..

Were our players even interested in chasing this target?

I would say NO.

 

[adil_909]

Wow amir came out to bat. Not sure if that's a good idea. He needs to preserve himself for the tournament. Nothing to gain by batting here if he's feeling his hamstring

 

[Zak_Fan]

Pandya didn't even celebrate after getting Sarfraz. Indian players seem bored now.

Yeah, noticed that. They don't look too interested now.

 

[JaDed]

Pandya didn't even celebrate after getting Sarfraz. Indian players seem bored now.

The way he got out,don't think anyone would had celebrated,pathetic dismissal.

 

[Sunzi]

Not only are we pony and getting worse...

India is getting better... supposedly a "weak bowling side" they are and will rebut that feeling too.

It's like the countries in general one strives for improvement while the other for a quick buck and short cuts.

Will give Pakistan Cricket a rest - they are at their lowest point in history IMO.

 

[SameerK]

Sarfraz had a shocker today in terms of decisions as a captain and then a weak batting performance. 10 needed of an over and he's tuk tukking away.

 

[RobinJay]

This really is what we deserve. Yet this shambolic performance will not be enough to make management/selectors realize what needs to be done. Professor will again be part of the top 4 and Wahab part of the pace attack. What a shame.

 

[WC-Passion]

But what was the out of the box plan that sarfu was talking yesterday of?? And why did he say that India is scared of playing Pakistan?? And why every Pakistani bowler was vying for kohli wicket but none took it. Pakistan is all talk....

You should know that Pakistani camp knows what to say but they will never apply it because they lack skill and intelligence.

 

[RumiNYC]

Pakistan is rightfully number 8 in the world.

 

[Khan12]

Are my eyes deceiving me or has shadab changed his stance.

 

[fitCricFan]

Seriously, does this even look like world class batting. The way they are batting it seems they have already conceded. Indians aren't even in full gear at the moment, sloppy fielding, ok bowling.

Another key feature has been the lack of running between wickets by Pakistan. They definitely need to work on their fitness before anything else

 

[ArunOnline]

Well I don't feel like even trolling Pak fans now... This is pathetic from Pakistan team. Indo Pak matches losing their credibility now.. sigh

exactly, feeling sad for them seeing this performance

 

[Zak_Fan]

Really pleased with Pandaya. We have found an Ashwin replacement overseas.

 

[aniket1911]

Shoaib was looking in ominous form and only one with an intent to chase, thank god we have a fielder of jadeja's calibre to take care of him.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

If he can actually act like an athlete and have proper fitness he would be in this team but that's another on going issue with our side which Mickey is attempting to improve in fitness. We've got way too many issues. No good opener, weak middle order and what only one really good fast bowler in Amir.

Mickey himself isn't fit, he is fatter than Umar Akmal

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Don't think we can play like this against other teams.

Absolutely not. We will get slaughtered by better teams. Qnton is due a big knock and knowing his record against us i don't know what to expect

 

[WC-Passion]

Pakistan is rightfully number 8 in the world.

Thanks captain obvious

 

[ask_analyse_act]

154-7 same scorecard as CWC2015 match..... pak never improved a bit , just shows what will u get when u stick to the same lot after every loss...

 

[The cricket enthusiast]

BD might have had a real chance if they were in the same group.

thiss.
they might come close to beating india.
and can beat srilanka.
and s.a can chokee.
so yeaa bangla must be feeling bit unlucky here.

 

[Zak_Fan]

What a jokeee... what was thatt... Umesh robbed of a wicket.. !!

Joke fielders...


Pathetic loserss...

 

[PennOne]

Indian fielders feeling bad for Pakistanis.

 

[Jatt_bonebreaker]

hadh ho gayee yaar .. bakwass feilding

 

[JaDed]

Jhadav will be dropped if he keeps doing this.

 

[gani999]

Pakistan should put this behind and get their act together for their next game against SA.
Don't know what positives they can take from this really.

 

[Zak_Fan]

Even a child would have caught that.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Really pleased with Pandaya. We have found an Ashwin replacement overseas.

Dont judge Pandya bowling against our batsmen

They would make Holland bowlers look like Marshall.

 

[English August]

Atrocious fielding by India today. Will get away with it today but RSA, Eng and Aus will punish us for this.

 

[bluevision]

poor fielding..whatta scam

 

[WC-Passion]

154-7 same scorecard as CWC2015 match..... pak never improved a bit , just shows what will u get when u stick to the same lot after every loss...

Spot on, no progress or decline just stagnation.

 

[Sane.Cricket.Fan]

Well I don't feel like even trolling Pak fans now... This is pathetic from Pakistan team. Indo Pak matches losing their credibility now.. sigh

It's probably better that the two countries don't play very often. It's best for the mystique to remain that we play once maybe in two years

 

[aniket1911]

dolly dropped. )

 

[JaDed]

Absolutely not. We will get slaughtered by better teams. Qnton is due a big knock and knowing his record against us i don't know what to expect

With this fielding I have no hopes

 

[pakistan cricket fan]

And i tough pakistani fielding was bad.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Even a child would have caught that.

Rahane would have taken with fingers. lol

 

[the Great Khan]

How bad is Pakistan now in ODI's? Absolutely disgusting batting. Lose fine but lose with a fight.

lol look at the team meray bhai? the worst batting lineup ive ever seen in a pakistan shirt..this is the single worst pakistan team ive ever seen in odi's...

 

[Zak_Fan]

This is how you demotivate bowlers. Feel so bad for Umesh.

 

[PennOne]

Pakistan should put this behind and get their act together for their next game against SA.
Don't know what positives they can take from this really.

this will NEVER happen as long as this team and this management exists. Deal with it. this team is crap!!!!

 

[transitional]

Where is the thread about India innings? I just want to read the comments.
