Pakistan fall to 12-run defeat against England in high-scoring 2nd ODI

[MABA]

Ok people, there goes the game. Good innings by Asif.

 

[shah_1]

Match over

 

[Afhan Ali]

Brilliant by Asif today but it seems like a false dawn to me. England have bowled very poorly and have not tested him at all. Might get out soon now because I don't trust his temperament to finish the game off.

Salute
You were right

 

[Markhor]

Okay, Imad is handy in death overs. Need him to click.

 

[Plumb]

Missed a six there

Yup somehow looks he didnt go for the shot stopped his bat? may be but kept us in hunt... comon Imad, faheem you guyz need to finish

 

[IMMY69]

Why didnt he swing hard at tht over-pitched ball?

He couldn’t get under it enough..

 

[Hawkeye]

Our only real hope was Asif. Excellent effort from him today.

Sarf and Imad don't have the shots to score.

Unless Fahim somehow clicks.

 

[QalandarFan]

It was good while it lasted.

 

[bluevision]

Pakistan missing a Razzaq or a Mahmood... I don't know why, but I want Pakistan to win..

Asif..***!

 

[JibranAnsari]

pakistan need to get rid of imam ul haq.

fakhar
babar
haris
hafeez
asif
sarfraz

this should be our top 6 , i believe babar will score a lot more freely as opener.

 

[Mueez]

Imad Faheem and Hasan are still there.

No need to worry!

 

[AFM]

Still got Faheem Rana Sobers in the bench.

England quaking

 

[Slim]

Pakistan's ranking in T20s is artificial because they haven't played India. If they do, it will be a repeat of the Asia Cup humiliation. However, if Pakistan beats India in a T20 series, I will accept that they are the best in the format in spite of the recent drubbing against South Africa and England.

You know Pakistan and India dont play bi-laterals. What kind of logic is this?

 

[Hasan123]

Just swing from the hills now.

 

[Green Patriot]

Time for Ronaldo to shine.

 

[jnaveen1980]

They have no Curran, Archer, Wood. Not sure it is a fair indication of how they will do in the world cup. Still it is a creditable chase given the size of the runs they chased.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Need a boundary if possible in 2 balls.

 

[Hawkeye]

Time for Imad to prove he can win us at least one match and finish it off.

Want him to do something today.

 

[Slim]

Pakistan missing a Razzaq or a Mahmood... I don't know why, but I want Pakistan to win..

Asif..***!

No Razzaq, only a bunch of pretenders.

 

[Rayyman]

Finisher in

 

[Syed1]

Still Imad, Rana, Hasan to go.... need each to hit a six atleast lol

 

[Angrez Pakistani]

Asif needs to practice helicopter shot.

 

[Mamoon]

You know Pakistan and India dont play bi-laterals. What kind of logic is this?

We cannot call ourselves number one in T20s if we don't prove ourselves against the real number one T20 team, i.e. India.

 

[Asif321]

Great fight by Pakistan this is what we needed

 

[Hawkeye]

Imad. )

 

[KingKhanWC]

They have no Curran, Archer, Wood. Not sure it is a fair indication of how they will do in the world cup. Still it is a creditable chase given the size of the runs they chased.

Those are harldy Akram, Waqar or McGrath.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Extremely difficult now.

49 off 24 balls

 

[Chokli]

Good moral victory this

 

[Plumb]

We cannot call ourselves number one in T20s if we don't prove ourselves against the real number one T20 team, i.e. India.

Ind is no1 test team without playing pakistan how? let me get it they are better. same logic goes for them .. now stop it

 

[KingKhanWC]

We cannot call ourselves number one in T20s if we don't prove ourselves against the real number one T20 team, i.e. India.

Relax....your roza will break if Pakistan win this.

 

[szundercover]

They have no Curran, Archer, Wood. Not sure it is a fair indication of how they will do in the world cup. Still it is a creditable chase given the size of the runs they chased.

Curran is trash and overrated.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Fielding also looks ragged for England. Australia all the way winning the world cup again.

 

[Khan12]

And yet is rotating the strike better than anyone.

Yes when we need sixes and rotating the strike.

 

[Chokli]

Those are harldy Akram, Waqar or McGrath.

Those bowlers bowled in conditions suited for bowling

 

[Ahmed216]

He couldn’t get under it enough..

Ok then he shouldnt have gone aerial

 

[MRSN]

Sarfraz should make sure we get 15 off this over

 

[Mamoon]

They have no Curran, Archer, Wood. Not sure it is a fair indication of how they will do in the world cup. Still it is a creditable chase given the size of the runs they chased.

I forgot about T. Curran. Willey, Plunkett and Woakes should hang their heads in shame for letting a poor lineup like Pakistan score so much.

Thankfully this performance has also sealed Archer's spot in the World Cup squad. No wonder the likes of Willey and Plunkett were not impressed with him getting fast-tracked. They were worried about losing their place in the side.

 

[mak36]

Let's see if Imad can score when it actually matters.

 

[castortroy]

Good innings by Ali but you see the likes of Bairstow who is so consistent with his hitting

 

[JibranAnsari]

has pakistan ever scored 350 batting 2nd?

 

[KingKhanWC]

Have to take Rashid on now, no other choice.

 

[Plumb]

Relax....your roza will break if Pakistan win this.

 

[Hasan123]

4 runs.

 

[Rayyman]

Relax....your roza will break if Pakistan win this.

) ) Broooooo

 

[Mamoon]

Relax....your roza will break if Pakistan win this.

It is 10.57 pm in Pakistan. What roza?

 

[Syed1]

Awkward moment for haters when "specialist captain" is playing a gem off a knock

 

[Zhasan]

Today's loss will be courtesy of the two weakest link in the batting lineup Bhateeja and the ever overrated Haris. Both, not surprisingly will be huge disappointments in the World Cup.

 

[Titan24]

Shot Sarfaraz

 

[MRSN]

Morgan being ordinary in captaincy. You just cannot bowl spinner to Sarfraz at this stage. Game on for Pakistan

 

[KingKhanWC]

Best shot of the innings for me, lovely 4.

 

[Slim]

We cannot call ourselves number one in T20s if we don't prove ourselves against the real number one T20 team, i.e. India.

Absurd. Let your brothers know to play Pakistan when you see them next time i guess?

 

[jnaveen1980]

I would rather have Sam curran over Plunkett. This guy has been hanging around forever.

 

[Hasan123]

We need 1 big over off the fast bowlers.

 

[Zhasan]

Awkward moment for haters when "specialist captain" is playing a gem off a knock

Same culprits are the biggest supporters of Bhateeja, Haris and Akmal clan.

 

[KingKhanWC]

That was 4 imo.

 

[Hasan123]

Awkward moment for haters when "specialist captain" is playing a gem off a knock

Only in your world is this a gem of a knock.

 

[IMMY69]

Best shot of the innings for me, lovely 4.

I was just going to say that

 

[Asif321]

Fielding has saved atleast 25 runs for England

 

[KingKhanWC]

It is 10.57 pm in Pakistan. What roza?

I meant Tommorows as the pain will still be there )

 

[shah_1]

32 runs needed

 

[Mamoon]

Absurd. Let your brothers know to play Pakistan when you see them next time i guess?

I hope not. We don't need further humiliation after the Asia Cup.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Nice maddy!

Time for Imad and Sarfraz to cruise this ship home!

 

[Hasan123]

High quality shot.

 

[Asif321]

Sarfraz must bat at 4

 

[babajee]

Fantastic Imad.

 

[Markhor]

It's the hope that kills you...

 

[MRSN]

Now Pak must win from here. Rashid overrated got exposed.

 

[Titan24]

Shot Maddy

 

[cricket_cfa]

Liking sarfaraz batting attitude today

 

[Slim]

Imad showing the fans of pretenders their real aukat [MENTION=134608]Hawkeye[/MENTION]

 

[Chokli]

Imad the accumulator with a six!

 

[jnaveen1980]

Morgan being ordinary in captaincy. You just cannot bowl spinner to Sarfraz at this stage. Game on for Pakistan

Yes. Morgan has been a pathetic captain for a long time. We saw that in West Indies, in some of the other matches as well. Their batting power has been able to mask this for a long time. His field placings are horrendous. Choice of bowlers. Someone like ROhit sharma would have brilliantly handled an unit like this.

 

[Plumb]

YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

 

[ARK Rafay]

Fielding has saved atleast 25 runs for England

That means if we chase this. We've scored 400!

 

[Hawkeye]

If we can get some runs off the pacers too, we can win this. Woah.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Who would use Rashid at this point against `Imad hahha `Morgan Fail captaincy

 

[Plumb]

Haters to put their tail between their legs and run ... Run fast pak win is coming

 

[Mueez]

This over will decide the match.

InshaAllah it is coming home

 

[Rayyman]

Let em sleep on us

 

[Mamoon]

I meant Tommorows as the pain will still be there )

No, you were thinking in Birmingham time (still 1 hr and 50 mins to go I believe) which is why your joke lost its meaning. Still a good effort though.
