Pak V Eng: ODI 2: Score updates and discussion thread (Eng innings)

[The_Cricket_Devil]

shoaib malik into the attack now

 

[Amir_rulez]

If England crosses 220 from this situation, it wud be a big captaincy flaw.

 

[Big Mac]

Not so fast, he well within his rights think what he does and not at all, but he remains answerable for his *decisions* as a captain. There no such thing as Authority without checks and balances.

Haha, you can harp on about "checks and balances" and "cold hard statistics and facts" all you like but feel free to continue to ignore the importance that gut instinct plays in captaincy as well.

And with a gut the size of Inzi's who are we to argue with it's instinct?

How?

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

well played for 4 by plunkett

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

neways guys its getting really late here now so im gonna go to bed inshallah pakistan will win this match allahafiz all

 

[aamir]

agn this relates to a previous argument. It isnt the captains fault if the bowlers have a rough day no particular bowler did well that day and inzi worked with it the best he could

Yes it is the captains fault if he bowls someone who IS ALREADY having a bad day and not someone who IS HAVING a good day (in comparison) and has overs left.

 

[Oxy]

neways guys its getting really late here now so im gonna go to bed inshallah pakistan will win this match allahafiz all

Now thats too bad!

 

[Jonty]

wow.. fantastic stuff!

 

[Oxy]

Yes it is the captains fault if he bowls someone who IS ALREADY having a bad day and not someone who IS HAVING a good day (in comparison) and has overs left.

If you are referring to Rana, he had 5 consecutive bad balls. Went from 4 overs for 15, to 5 overs for 32. Then recovered DAMN well!

 

[Amir_rulez]

How?

Situation demands u to go for a kill and finish off their innings as soon as possible. What do we do? We have spinners on both ends. Dont u think a pacer is more likely to rattle the tailenders?

 

[badxhah]

y is inzy lettin game drift bring on shooby rana or razzler

 

[aamir]

The only thing I agree about there is the size of Inzi gut.... And yes facts are overrated anyways!

 

[karachiite]

Are there any demons in the pitch ot have england been undone by purely good bowling by pak?

 

[hatch101]

I think Inzi should bring Akhtar back into the attack, even though he is giving away easy runs, he's also taken wickets and the sooner Englands innings end the better!

 

[hasanahmad]

inzi more concerned about over rate than wickets

 

[badxhah]

partnership of 31

 

[akpower]

Shoaib shd be back from one end and maybe sami from the other.

Also shd replace Kaneria by supersub Arshad, just to try another option. Wouldn't hurt.

 

[Big Mac]

These 2 have a nice little partnership now but what can Inzi do? The "cold hard statistics and facts" dictate that we can't bring Rana on because he got smashed earlier and Shoaib is injured so Inzi mustn't let him bowl again. Razzaq is still coming back from injury so the "checks and balances" mean he shouldn't be given the ball as well and Sami is just crap.

What can Inzi do here?!?!?

 

[hasan316]

Bring on Shoaib and let him take 5 wickets. beautiful bowling by Shabby

 

[karachiite]

These two seem to be getting runs with alarming ease.Maybe we should try sami

 

[Jonty]

hey guys, is anderson still able to come back on to bowl later on? or his game over?

 

[badxhah]

oh crap inzy shud look at the bigger picture rather goin for overate hai so far his captaincy has been spot on except for this spiiner part

 

[akpower]

Are there any demons in the pitch ot have england been undone by purely good bowling by pak?

Nothing really. It was just a case of Pak bowler's mixing it up n bowling some brilliant deliveries.

 

[Shayan_Sohail]

hey guys, is anderson still able to come back on to bowl later on? or his game over?

His game is over, England are a bowler short now.

 

[azcali78]

Bad Captaincy by Inzy again. Bring on your quicks and get these guys out. Bad bad bad

 

[ontheBackfoot]

Bring the all powerful SuperSub "Arshad khan" now. A bowler English players are not familiar with. He didnt bowl in the Test. Now is the time to use supersub. Maybe the element of surprise will get the JOB done.

 

[MIG]

is Solanki stumped ?

 

[Jonty]

not sure abou tthat backfoot... now that we have england reeling, i dont think we require the sub, who would probably come at the expense of a batsman.

 

[akpower]

hey guys, is anderson still able to come back on to bowl later on? or his game over?

no he's not coming back.

 

[Jonty]

arshad khan hacking into cricinfo servers because he aint getting a game

 

[Oxy]

is Solanki stumped ?

No- foot was grounded.

 

[aamir]

If you are referring to Rana, he had 5 consecutive bad balls. Went from 4 overs for 15, to 5 overs for 32. Then recovered DAMN well!

Well I like Rana as a bowler but I just don't like Inzi's captaincy most of the time. Sorry....

 

[Big Mac]

Oh ****, hope he's alright. If there's any silver lining it's only his left shoulder at least

 

[akpower]

arshad khan hacking into cricinfo servers because he aint getting a game

haha

 

[Oxy]

Well I like Rana as a bowler but I just don't like Inzi's captaincy most of the time. Sorry....

At least you're honest about your anti-Inzi sentiments...I take it you didnt rate his 2-0 success quite recently?

 

[Amir_rulez]

I see some serious gymnasium sessions coming for Danish

 

[Azam6380]

Danish injured.....hope hes ok....

 

[offstump]

danish looks like he was shot

 

[pacman]

Arshad Khan subbing Danish.

 

[MIG]

Can Arshad Khan be brought in now ?

Kaneria may have dislocated his shoulder there, physio summoned.

 

[azcali78]

Why cant he be more like captain who thinks. Cmon he is been a skipper for more then 2 years. This is common sense, I am so upset. Why is he more concern with overs then getting them out and Danish is gone for series... I am kind a glad about that he is not a one day player anyway

 

[CrickFan]

Inzy bhai has gone to sleep..will this partnership be crucial ?

 

[badxhah]

i hate to say this may this injury will be a blessing is disguise for pak

 

[Raz]

Paratha belly coming on now to field in place of Kaneria.

 

[Amir_rulez]

At least you're honest about your anti-Inzi sentiments...I take it you didnt rate his 2-0 success quite recently?

what has that 2-0 victory got to do with the wrong decision being made here?

 

[MIG]

Danish does seem to fall awkwardly - even on the last day of the 3rd test he fell over after taking a wicket.....boy has serious balance/gravity issues!

 

[Jonty]

well arshad khan can bowl 4 overs max

 

[ontheBackfoot]

not sure abou tthat backfoot... now that we have england reeling, i dont think we require the sub, who would probably come at the expense of a batsman.

I agree.... Its would have been better if they had an allrounder superSub.

 

[offstump]

and the brilliant decision pays off, supersub is in

 

[badxhah]

if inzy gives the next over to arshad khan ... i *** ??/

 

[hatch101]

Bring the all powerful SuperSub "Arshad khan" now. A bowler English players are not familiar with. He didnt bowl in the Test. Now is the time to use supersub. Maybe the element of surprise will get the JOB done.

I think wasting a batsmen by bringing a sub is not worth it..the "JOB" can be done by bringing the fast bowlers back into attack!

 

[cricketcrazy]

wht the hell Inzi n Bob r thinking ??? damn it bring shoaib

 

[aamir]

These 2 have a nice little partnership now but what can Inzi do? The "cold hard statistics and facts" dictate that we can't bring Rana on because he got smashed earlier and Shoaib is injured so Inzi mustn't let him bowl again. Razzaq is still coming back from injury so the "checks and balances" mean he shouldn't be given the ball as well and Sami is just crap.

What can Inzi do here?!?!?

You are making you own inferences and try to associate them to my statements. How old are you?

 

[offstump]

this is gross, we should have finished england off a long time ago, this way they're goona easily get 200+

 

[badxhah]

really poor cricket

 

[Raz]

Paratha belly coming on to bowl

 

[Shayan_Sohail]

Why is Inzi continuing with spinners we have 4 seamers who have done well and there are only 10 overs left, this is poor captaincy.

 

[badxhah]

holy Fcuk this could some one tell me wat the hell is inzy thinking ?

 

[immubhai]

Danish does seem to fall awkwardly - even on the last day of the 3rd test he fell over after taking a wicket.....boy has serious balance/gravity issues!

Is ge going to go for good?what about the coming India series? does it look that bad? His injury wont affect us in this series anymore, in next match Afridi coming in for him and now Super Sub would do the rest, by giving up 4/over...so lets hope Dani mian gets back for the next series

 

[cricketcrazy]

here u go Arshad th ebest bowler in our team is in

 

[hasanahmad]

if Pakistan lose this match by 20-40 runs Inzamam will be the sole reason they lost

 

[stb]

pak have got to get these 2 wickets quickly or they will have trouble chasing a 220+ figure

 

[akpower]

uncle coming in to bowl

 

[Big Mac]

You are making you own inferences and try to associate them to my statements. How old are you?

What's the matter grandad? Lost yer sense of humour?

 

[Shayan_Sohail]

We have just given England free runs in these past 5 overs.

 

[offstump]

plunkett is goona get a 50 this is embarassing

 

[aamir]

Funny comment from Rameez.

"Inzi is such good captaincy form that he is going to topple England with Shoaib Malik and Arshad Khan."

 

[lakha84]

what is inzi doing why not bringing fast bowlers

 

[MIG]

Yaar - Inzi is running the show - you guys arent ! and there is a reason for that - cos he knows better ! Could it be that he knows more than you chaps - could it be possible ?

 

[CrickFan]

If england somehow win this - this session of play will really haunt Pakistan -

 

[Raz]

Yaar - Inzi is running the show - you guys arent ! and there is a reason for that - cos he knows better ! Could it be that he knows more than you chaps - could it be possible ?

You make it sound like some kind of crime investigation!!

 

[Amir_rulez]

Yaar - Inzi is running the show - you guys arent ! and there is a reason for that - cos he knows better ! Could it be that he knows more than you chaps - could it be possible ?

For that matter Woolmer and Inzi run the show all year round... why threads after threads, discussions after discussions on the forum, eh?

 

[octavian]

may be he knows more than us MIGYY but what abot former test players sitting in commentary box ?

 

[hasanahmad]

Yaar - Inzi is running the show - you guys arent ! and there is a reason for that - cos he knows better ! Could it be that he knows more than you chaps - could it be possible ?

running the show has led to a 6 from a number 9 bowler

 

[badxhah]

Yaar - Inzi is running the show - you guys arent ! and there is a reason for that - cos he knows better ! Could it be that he knows more than you chaps - could it be possible ?

you are abs right Miggy bahi but the thing they were 8 down even the majority of commemtaors are sayin this.

 

[Raz]

Plunkett smashes a 6 off Malik!

 

[azcali78]

MIG I admire Inzy as a player but sometime you really have to ask what he is thinking. Seems like Inzy comes on the filed from instructions form Bob and then forget that he is the captain.

 

[Ayubi]

Yaar - Inzi is running the show - you guys arent ! and there is a reason for that - cos he knows better ! Could it be that he knows more than you chaps - could it be possible ?

Miggy bhai, how can anyone justify this??!!!
