[Ellipsism]

Congratulations England on making the finals.

 

[kingusama92]

Ouch.

Can we trust Roman Reigns?

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Huge blow!

 

[asfan.dari]

huge set back!

 

[Macho Mann]

blessing in disguise, might get some wickets from rumman raees and open with hasan ali

 

[Shafi]

Not a big loss. Amir is not performing anything special. Good news for Amir haters

 

[imshally81]

Confirmed ????

 

[kingusama92]

Not a big loss. Amir is not performing anything special. Good news for Amir haters

2/53 and match-winning 28* in a virtual quarterfinal.

Absolute rubbish.

 

[BlueAngel]

Shocking, Didnt see that coming, a big loss for Pak whether their fans like it or not.

 

[mhraja]

Big loss, he had a good day last match and although he hasn't taken many wickets in CT but overall he has bowled well.

Not the right match for Rumman Raees to make debut. That might end up to be his only ODI.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Rumman Raees's dibbly dobblies will go for a plenty.

 

[Rayyman]

Big blow to our tail

 

[Shafi]

Regardless Amir or even Wasim or Waqar play we will not win against England with this fragile batting.

 

[Rayyman]

Amir needs to get stronger

 

[WhenSultansBowled]

Bad news for us

GL Pakistan. Come on Junain. Shut your critics up

 

[thehub]

Now Pak fans have excuse if they lose this game.

 

[Macho Mann]

2/53 and match-winning 28* in a virtual quarterfinal.

Absolute rubbish.

if somebody tried to watch the game, he would realize, it was junaid 3 excellent deliveries which changed the match and created pressure even though amir opened the spell with junaid khan coming second and it was amir who went for boundaries right in the first over of his second spell

it was junaid's pressure that amir scored first fluke wicket, it was very lucky

second wicket was good but then it was because of junaid's wicket that really upped the pressure

amir third was as ordinary as always

 

[Titan24]

Dont underestimate Ruman Raees, he has got something about him

 

[ask_analyse_act]

should bring in shadab for amir not raees.... now they will drop faheem for shadab,,,

 

[Lynx]

Blessing in disguise for us, to be honest.

 

[ZyzzBrah]

Not a big loss. Amir is not performing anything special. Good news for Amir haters

Never have I read such a poor and pathetic analysis.

 

[90MPH]

Bad blow but let's hope the replacement can do a good job.

 

[Savak]

Our fast bowling Zulfiqar Babar missing out, no biggie though he could have helped in the lower order.

 

[Khwaja]

This is a blessing in disguise... England probably worked so hard to prepare for Aamer and were most liekely work him away for runs... Rumman is someone they never heard of and hopefully his vartiations will knock out Angreezi batsmen!!

 

[TalhaSyed]

Big blow for Pakistan!

In this competition he's been consistent up front with the new ball.

Great with the old reverse swinging ball

In the last game he showed better technique, temperament and mental strength than majority of our batsmen.

This could prove to be a decisive blow for Pakistan.

However, I'm optimistic that InshAllah Hasan, Junaid, Rauman, Shadab will deliver (with some help from Malik, iMad and Mr Senior)

 

[BlueAngel]

It can prove to be blessing in disguise, Eng would have definitely planned around Amir and this late revelation may throw their plans off the tracks.

 

[ChachaPakistani]

Its totally Amir's fault that Wahab was a sack of trash, right?

This sucks so much. He was finally taking wickets and batting well in the last game. I hate this maan

 

[IAJ]

How serious is the injury?

 

[Poison]

Ridiculous - thought some of you blokes were better than this.

Hardly surprising given the 36 hr turnaround. Lets hope Rumman can do the biz

 

[Hasan123]

Can't believe it. Big blow.

 

[Saj]

Big match, big tournament, a few pain-killers and get him out there?

 

[khalil1986]

A few pain killers for a back spasm, I've had a back spasm and couldn't walk for a week.

 

[Pakpak]

Big match, big tournament, a few pain-killers and get him out there?

I have had back spasms, they are very very painful and impossible to recover from unless proper rest is had. If they're very bad then hospital visits are mandatory.

 

[bujhee kom]

A few pain killers for a back spasm, I've had a back spasm and couldn't walk for a week.

This. It drops you for days.
I enjoy banter but this is pathetic from anti Amir posters.

 

[Square Drive]

Rumman will deliver.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Big match, big tournament, a few pain-killers and get him out there?

What happens if there is longterm injuries after? Back pain is probably the worst pain to recover from as a sportsmen or bowler.

 

[TalhaSyed]

Rumman will deliver.

Yup - InshAllah he will step up.

I've got a feeling he will have a good game today InshAllah

 

[bujhee kom]

Yup - InshAllah he will step up.

I've got a feeling he will have a good game today InshAllah

135kph. What is his upper limit?

 

[TalhaSyed]

135kph. What is his upper limit?

136kph

He's by no means express pace - his main weapon is his variation.

 

[waleed88]

Rumman almost had the same amount of wickets as Amir has had in the entire tournament if it weren't for an umpiring decision

 

[Khwaja]

Rumman had gotten 1 wicket so far. 1 wicket was stolen by umpiring. 1 wicket dropped by Azhar. Imagine if they had happened 3 wickets. What a start! MASHALLAH

 

[CricketCartoons]

Whether he plays or not, people are always discussing Amir.

 

[Khwaja]

Aamer is the past.. The man who garnered us only 3 wickets that too against a shaky SL in 3 matches in this tournament. This man should not ever come close to a team.

 

[Dios]

Just 2 actually.

 

[shaz619]

His work load is ridiculous, not surprised

 

[Syed1]

Will he be fit for the next match if we qualify?

 

[Khwaja]

Will he be fit for the next match if we qualify?

Most likely... but I don't want him to play.. I would much rather play Faheem for Shadab. But INSHALLAH hope we win this match.

 

[thehub]

blessing in disguise for Pakistan. rumman looked good and got wicket in first 10 overs which Amir was struggling to do.

 

[Arsalan Pro]

I hope he plays the Final, if we make it.

 

[idrizzy]

Most likely... but I don't want him to play.. I would much rather play Faheem for Shadab. But INSHALLAH hope we win this match.

I think you're confused - you don't want Amir to play, and then talk about Fahim for Shadab as if we're talking about Shadab.

Either way Amir is a very good bowler - I don't trust Rumman as of yet

 

[Khwaja]

Smart cricketers become successful. For example Hasan, Sarfraz, Imad.. Rumman is a smart cookie AND an unknown mystery player... Judging Aamer from his performance, save for the SL, he's a hit or miss. A gamble. I would not take that risk and I would go with Rumman, given his bowling in this match. The reason I want to play Faheem is obvious, bowling/batting.

Ah ok, so Rumman in for Amir. Inexperienced, risky. Amir-Rumman-Hassan would be good too. I've liked Rumman but his pace is a tad slow for my liking - needs to be 2-5kmps faster in my opinion

Yea. Aamer and Junaid get hella analyzed by teams after some Matches and get worked away.. Junaid or Aamer one of them gotta go. They're a hit or miss, really successful sometimes and sometimes really horrible.

 

[Khwaja]

Sorryz.. I withdraw my statement.. Junaid toke wicket of key batsman.. Junaid showing his form, expensive but takes wickets.

 

[TalhaSyed]

Rumman will deliver.

2 for 44 - bowled brilliantly!

I'll take that!

 

[shah_1]

Didn't miss Amir at all

 

[Square Drive]

You know things are GOOD when you're not sure if bench is better or main XI

 

[TalhaSyed]

Alhumdullilah its a good problem to have!

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Will Amir be fit for the Final against Bangladesh

 

[Rayyman]

Tail looks weak without him.

 

[Hasan123]

Hasn't been missed. If we get to the final inshallah he's fit.

 

[Khwaja]

INSHALLAH IF we get to final. We must play Faheem not Shadab against india/BD... and keep Rumman raees!! We must bowl good death overs not bad leg cramp overs that get no wickets!!

 

[IAJ]

Lucky there Hafeez

 

[Amir]

Hafeez brings nothing with bat, keep Shadab and Fahim both in team.

Odd, do we bring Amir back?

 

[IAJ]

Tail looks weak without him.

Raees is a mini allrounder
