Pakistan crush England by 9 wickets in the one-off IT20 at Old Trafford

[Ashraful_Rox]

England's bowling is quite awful, Soumya will probably score a double ton

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Babar almost out...

 

[Adil_94]

Love Wasims enthusiasm you would never get Rambo reacting like this.

 

[Slog]

Come on Babar

You have all the freedom and time right now

Express yourself

 

[Syed1]

Babar is fidgety might get out soon

 

[Watsupdoc]

Babar is too fidgety... He's gonna get out soon.

 

[Haroon786]

England's bowling is quite awful, Soumya will probably score a double ton

The top teams don't play with minnows.

 

[Adil_94]

Khalid Latif what a knock.

 

[Pete Rose]

Two Akmal's on display: babar the batsman and buttler the keeper

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

thank you very much. on your bicycle mate

Hey Green Knight, this is Green Robin, what does that suppose to mean?

 

[Syed1]

Baws gets to his fifty like a baws hahaha

 

[Watsupdoc]

That was a huge hit! 50 for Latif!!

Well played boy!

 

[aukhan]

 

[The_KING]

for Latif

 

[Adijazz1706]

for Latif, still think I'm dreaming.

 

[boomboom6]

50 for Latif with another monster 6 ... get him in the ODI team Inzi

 

[Haroon786]

Just get this over with, only 20 odd left.

 

[ExplicitAI]

maiden 50 for Khaled

 

[Markhor]

Plenty of air miles on that.

Well done Killer Khalid. Looks very assured vs spin.

Deserves a run in both ODIs and T20s now.

 

[Syed1]

6 and 4

 

[aukhan]

Well deserved 50 from Latif.

more.

 

[Pete Rose]

Come on Babar

You have all the freedom and time right now

Express yourself

You can feel pressured after a successful opening, and can over attack.

Disagree, remember Rambo going crazy when Anwar Ali helped pull off that comeback win in the T20 in Sri Lanka chasing 160 when we were 40-5 or something.

 

[Asif321]

maiden 50 . big moment

 

[Justcrazy]

122/ 1

 

[troodon]

Khalid Latif = Pak's Sehwag.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Not the worst. But he gives a couple of hit me balls every over. Does not have good control.

I don't know why he keeps getting selecting despite having poor average and economy rate in all formats. Pretty bad fielder too

 

[Syed1]

Babar what are you doing bub

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Waht a shot...

 

[Pete Rose]

I will let it slide that Latif also either blocks or bashes.

 

[ExplicitAI]

 

[Syed1]

Mhmm fulltoss pe single

 

[Hamza_]

Carnage

 

[Strike Rate]

Disagree, remember Rambo going crazy when Anwar Ali helped pull off that comeback win in the T20 in Sri Lanka chasing 160 when we were 40-5 or something.

And you guys missed Rambo in Asia Cup when Afridi vs Ashwin was on?

 

[Gotham Cronie]

Khalid Latif's first 8 T20Is: 37 runs

Last 2 T20Is: 103* runs

 

[Syed1]

Babar with his first boundary

 

[Adijazz1706]

1 hit away now.

 

[FreakCricket]

England's bowling is quite awful, Soumya will probably score a double ton

lol bro he will score a double ton

 

[On_the_up]

Complete team performance, what a turnaround from the T20 WC.

 

[IcedCoffee]

That shot by Latif to reach his 50 was so sweetly timed. Probably the best shot of this match for me.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan one blow away from a win here

 

[Haroon786]

[MENTION=138463]Slog[/MENTION], do you agree that Latif isn't a tailender now ?

This is an absolute massacre considering this is only a 20 over contest.

 

[Gotham Cronie]

Any bonus points in the Super Series?

 

[Markhor]

Pakistan will going home from this tour happy. Delighted with the Tests and T20 performance.

Hopefully the 5th ODI and this display tonight will encourage us to play more positively in future ODIs.

 

[The_KING]

England should have played Mills and Wood. Jordon and Plunkett are rubbish.

 

[ExplicitAI]

I don't know why but I get a slight feeling that Khaled might go the Misbah route

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Excellent batting by Pakistan

 

[GreenKnightRises]

just three more to get

 

[Syed1]

Scores level

 

[shaz619]

Someone ran onto the field

 

[JaDed]

England didn't know what hit them!

 

[IcedCoffee]

4 and win!

 

[Syed1]

Does it with class

 

[Watsupdoc]

Look at that passion from the team! What a game!!!

 

[boomboom6]

When was the last time we finished a T20 chase inside of 15 overs? )

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Sohail Tanvir and Khalid Latif should replace Yasir Shah and Azhar Ali in the ODI squad

 

[Syed1]

We do well in last matches of all formats.. last test last ODI and last T20 (well there was only one and I had to make a point )

 

[ExplicitAI]

walloped! Brilliant finish for the Eng tour!

 

[troodon]

Nasser making excuses.

Rotation of players, players coming in who have not played much bla bla bla..

Pak was much superior side on the day and walloped England mercilessly.

 

[Adijazz1706]

This is the best T20 performance I have seen by Pakistan since the end of the 2012 T20 WC. We're still 7th in the rankings but T20 rankings don't matter as they fluctuate wildly (we gained 4 points for this win). Well done Boys

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan win by 9 wickets

 

[troodon]

Wish Pak batted first. 200 would be on cards.

 

[Asif321]

omg team looks so good and full of energy . its so much contrast team with Afridi leading

 

[Justcrazy]

Sarfaraz now strong contender for captaincy.

 

[The Last Of The Stars]

Pure domination.

 

[troodon]

Babar Azam looks like a physically weaker version of Umar Akmal.

Are they related?

 

[NauV]

Win or lose .. the most heartening thing was the energy and passion .. and brand of cricket.. wonderful to watch .. in the last 2 games of the tour, Pakistan has a template for future LOI matches

 

[Sports_Psychologist]

Babar Azam looks like a physically weaker version of Umar Akmal.

Are they related?

Cousins! First cousin!

 

[zn426]

Who the heck saw that coming?

Honestly while Sharjeel and Khalid batted so well, the real award in this match should go to the bowlers. They looked magnificent. Didn't do a single thing wrong, and Wahab and Imad were top class. Honestly, Imad's innings turned around the match from England's good early start.

Khaala ka beta

 

[Slog]

Brilliant performance

Great team effort

 

[ask_analyse_act]

fantastic performance by the Men in Green..

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

Wow Latif with an average of 9 and sr under 100 but wow he ripped them. Great opening partnership

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

Nasser making excuses.

Rotation of players, players coming in who have not played much bla bla bla..

Pak was much superior side on the day and walloped England mercilessly.

No, what he said was England played their best side and they had NOT done that above as some sides might have.

 

[troodon]

Cousins! First cousin!

So he is an Akmal too.

Imagine Kamran, Adnan, Umar and Babar playing together. It will become an Akmal team.

 

[Watsupdoc]

Nasser making excuses.

Rotation of players, players coming in who have not played much bla bla bla..

Pak was much superior side on the day and walloped England mercilessly.

Did you even listen to what he said? He said they played the same team as in the WC final (I.e. Their best team). They didn't go for rotation of players, etc.

He wasn't making excuses but giving credit to Pak.

 

[IcedCoffee]

from cricinfo: "9.19pm Shambolic scenes at the end there, with a mass pitch invasion, and none other than Reg Dickason, England's otherwise preoccupied security advisor, was forced to step in."

 

[Hamza_]

Maza agya

 

[Hasan123]

Hahaha what a performance missed the bowling but seen our batting. Really enjoyed the atmosphere
