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

Imam needs to make sure he bats at Sr of 100 atlaest, this is not good enough
 
Guys when a match is on, believe in your team and support them. If you want to cry on every other post, go watch a Bollywood movie and start a thread.

Pakistan players are giving it all here and doing really well.
 
They just have to milk the spinners.
Take 6 or 7 off each over...
 
PAK is in game to be honest. Often PAK top order takes the chase to desperate level, but here this pair has reduced 25% target in no time without losing any wicket. A century from Fakhar & some real contribution from Asif can make it really close - if PAK is to chase 374, Rose Bowl is probably the place.

What do you say now at one down? Any chance?
 
Imam played decent, can everyone stop complaining.

Last match, he was awful and rightly got criticism but today? He was decent.
 
huh?? we are close to the RRR what else do you want... some people just know how to criticize

What run rate are you talking about? 8 an over? Please learn maths. When you are chasing you should be well above the rate since in middle overs you slow down a little since fielders are spread
 
England spinners doing what Pakistani spinners used to do:

1- pitch the ball up
2- slow ball (low 50s)
3- googlies & variations from the same spot they ball other

This brings wickets
 
[MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] perhaps time to be a bit more balanced with your criticism of the openers? It's always directed at Fakhar but your beloved has let the team down here.
 
Never ever I thought England will have better spinners than us in their playing Xi

lol I definitely know maths and cricket as well... when you are within the runrate and keep wickets you bound to get big overs in middle... try to go bizzark and try to hit sixes and lose your plot.. may be that's what you are used to watch..

Irony is those England spinners are Pakistani

Exactly
 
Probably better chance now��

370+ is such a target that your running target is 7.5!!! Someone will need to play a Josh Buttler role to win it.

And that’s the reason I feel we won’t win it, maybe if Hafeez Sobers was playing but no way Asif is scoring more than 6 runs.
 
RR is over 8. Looks like our batsmen don't even try to match the RR.
 
What has Mickey given us in these years??

Openers??
All rounders??
fast bowlers???
Spinners?? LOL

Press conference after the appointment..."I will watch the domestic games and pick players and blah blah"... reality: wait for psl and pick players..:misbah3:misbah3
 
Yasir shah bowler greater than 55mph, sometimes around 60mph and yasir bowling even below 50 sometimes. Why hasn't yasir picked this up?
 
Should have reached 100 two overs ago, need to up the tempo now.
 
Imam innings was pointless , he is always scoring at a low strike rate , and just is there because he is Inzammam nephew. Intellectual dishonesty by Inzi
 
India has better seam bowlers and England the better spinners...the world has turned upside down

You mean Inzi?
 
Imam ul Haq batting at a strike rate of 79.58 which means he is going at 4.77 runs per over. In a run chase that required you got over 7.46.

And people say Imam isnt the issue?

It was a pathetic knock in the circumstances. And is the only reason run rate is above 8 now
 
"All the moons, planets and stars must align for him to score."

I remember when he said that lol and I had to remind him not only was he the best batsman in the CT but he single handedly led Pakistan to their highest chase (187) in T20Is last year against Australia in that tri-series.

Can't just fluke your way as a hack. I have a feeling he has an agenda against him.
 
Actually if I recall we didn’t do horribly under him we were pretty good in 2005-06 just failed in the World Cup 07 badly.

Pakistan won in sub continent during his time , also he had Bob woolmer in the side.

The Middle order at that time was much better than this.
 
And that’s the reason I feel we won’t win it, maybe if Hafeez Sobers was playing but no way Asif is scoring more than 6 runs.

Or may be Umar Akmal🤪. But yes, it’s really tough to proceed even to think that your starting ask is 7.78!!!
 
Fakhar is such a hack.

He should be dropped.

Stars need to align for him to score even a single run.

:facepalm:

Nice try. I'm guessing you're fresh off coming from watching the 1992 run chase against NZ in the semi final. Because only in that era this kinda flew.
You're only almost 30 years too late. Welcome to 2019
 
We never used our limited resources properly. When Sharjeel was there, we didnt select Fakhar alongside him while he was scoring runs in domestics. We had Azhar with him and now we have Imam with Fakhar.

Now we are doing the same thing with our spinners, we have some good ones but we dont use them in internationals.
 
How on earth Micky turned himself to a politician? Talk a lot and deliver nothing.
 
Rashid's googly is dangerous, holding Fakhar back a bit
 
I think its more than that. He is one of most corrupt and dishonest cricket selector.

Imam is not bad player , but to keep him ahead of others , and not consider the domestic List A performances is not right. Imam should have been told to improve or will be dropped. He has average of 55 , but tell me which team think tank is afraid of him ? We all know he cannot win you games.
 
so glad fakhar is back in form. this is exactly the pitch he needed. he is an all formats batter and is really vital to pakistan's success
 
Our running between the wickets seems to be significantly improved. I'm liking it.
 
If only the target was 340 we were on track
If the other batsmen don’t panic and do their job I would say we are still on track. Just need a 100 plus partnership in quick time and we win.. simple..
 
[MENTION=143344]babajee[/MENTION] I see people who cried themselves hoarse calling Fakhar a hack are now backtracking. :uakmal
 
Babar Kohli needs to proof that he is living upto his reputation as being better than Kohli in this era. Never seen him chase a big total. Only a 100 at a strike rate of more than a 100 will dispel any concerns about his inability to chase. Otherwise for all the hype he is still a mental midget who fails in big chases.
 
Nice try. I'm guessing you're fresh off coming from watching the 1992 run chase against NZ in the semi final. Because only in that era this kinda flew.

lol no idea what you mean.. I believe you mean pakistan should finish this chase in 30 overs??:misbah3
 
Have not bashed him but he has to win us a game, it has been long overdue.

It's irrational to ask him to do it all by himself, especially when he's part of a mediocre batting line up.
