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

[Slim]

What did I tell you about Babar Azam? He's not a match winner.

We might have our very own tendulkar in the ranks, boys.

 

[Hasan123]

Not with wrists that resemble a 13 year old girls. He needs mass. Even if it's not muscle mass at this point. He needs mass.

You don't need muscle to hit that for 6.

 

[QalandarFan]

Babar seriously man????when you will take responsibility and take pakistan over the line... comon man

Seriously it’s getting annoying he scores when there is no pressure on him. The instant the the pressure is on him he throws it away!

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

We aren't going to win but we need to see something from Asif today, that would still be a massive bonus. Flat wicket, every chance to show he can do something.

 

[Syed1]

We punched above our weight for a bit but now normalcy is returning

 

[emranabbas]

Babar and imam will not work for us this world cup

 

[Hasan123]

Jinx of the century.

Yes it's my fault Babar and Fakhar got out.

 

[Slim]

I don't care what you have to say.

damn

 

[AFM]

Need to keep going boys.

Come on Asif! Win us the game here and you are in the WC squad.

 

[topspin]

Despite his timidness some still want Babar to be the next captain. If he chokes under the slightest responsibility. how do you expect him to cope as skips.

 

[waleed88]

Leaving to go to cherry blossom guys, but I’ll keep an eye on scorecard - this could be a grand day. And, this is full strength Pom side in an active runner - all credit deserved.

MMHS bhai i liked your optimism. Alas if it was any other team they would've been favorites from this point. Not Pakistan

 

[Mueez]

Look guys, we should not start whining again pls fgs.

We can still chase this total.

 

[QalandarFan]

Haris should just go after the spin!

 

[Syed1]

I don't care what you have to say.

Hahahah )

 

[waleed88]

Despite his timidness some still want Babar to be the next captain. If he chokes under the slightest responsibility. how do you expect him to cope as skips.

So true

 

[ARK Rafay]

Req. Run rate will go upto 10, Asif will hit a six and then get out

 

[R Shahid]

What did babar did wrong, can anyone basher please explain, he provide a good support to fakhar n yes he did not hit boundries but still scored at strike rate of 100

 

[waleed88]

We aren't going to win but we need to see something from Asif today, that would still be a massive bonus. Flat wicket, every chance to show he can do something.

Haan bhai Babar kohli say umeedein kaisi ab?

 

[Darkrai]

Nothing you can do if the bat slips from you hand.

 

[Syed1]

Pathetic

 

[QalandarFan]

Really depends on these two batsman now. And do you think Haris Sohail should've come in? It's a bit too early for Asif Ali?

Well they’re both in now

 

[Slim]

@Topsin i am one of those who see Babar as a captaincy candidate, but you are right. Hes TIMID AF.

 

[Gullycricket]

Asif is poor against spin

 

[AFM]

Asif can't afford to block.

 

[QalandarFan]

This is where Hafeez Sobers would have been deadly, in finishing the game off.

 

[Slim]

Asif is poor against spin

Hes poor against everything. Let's hope today its the full moon.

 

[Chokli]

Top 3 have done their job.

Next 3 need to do theirs.

 

[Hasan123]

Asif Ali would laugh at the comparison with Buttler if he ever read that thread.

 

[Khan12]

Nothing you can do if the bat slips from you hand.

People who haven't played cricket are suddenly experts in batting.

 

[Mueez]

This is where Hafeez Sobers would have been deadly, in finishing the game off.

Even Malik would’ve been handy today.

 

[topspin]

I don't care what you have to say.

Don't get mad for being proven wrong once again.

The problem with our fan base is guys like you who have a special appetite (even during Ramadhan) for mediocrity.

 

[Ronaldo7]

What did babar did wrong, can anyone basher please explain, he provide a good support to fakhar n yes he did not hit boundries but still scored at strike rate of 100

Got out at the wrong time. Isn't it obvious?

 

[KingKhanWC]

Game is still before some of you jump off a bridge.

Just need another partnerhsip here, 30 odd.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Asif is poor against spin

A big hitter who can't hit spin? Really?

 

[Syed1]

Total stop on scoring now

 

[ARK Rafay]

This is where Hafeez Sobers would have been deadly, in finishing the game off.

Exactly. Would've been perfect situation from him. Would've milked the spinners

 

[QalandarFan]

Even Malik would’ve been handy today.

Yes those dabs down to third man woulda been great!

 

[Plumb]

Harry bro rotate strike,,, you said you ll play aggressively lets see

 

[Chokli]

Surely the next 7 players should be able to score 137 in 15 overs amongst them?

 

[DRsohail]

what is Haris Sohail doing.

 

[Hamad_H]

Sarfraz shouldve come in when Rashid and Moeen have so many overs left

 

[topspin]

@Topsin i am one of those who see Babar as a captaincy candidate, but you are right. Hes TIMID AF.

It was aimed at Mamoon, for bashing Fakhar and advocating Babar's captaincy credentials.

 

[Smudger]

Literally no one saw that the bat slipped in babar's hand due to sweat

 

[Slim]

Top 3 have done their job.

Next 3 need to do theirs.

We only have 3 capable batsmen in the whole line up. Two of them are snowflakes. You are asking too much of them.

 

[Afhan Ali]

Haris is very lazy

 

[QalandarFan]

Exactly. Would've been perfect situation from him. Would've milked the spinners

Not only the spinners he is very capable of smashing the quicks too.

 

[Hasan123]

6 for Asif.

 

[AFM]

Cant even get singles.

 

[Gullycricket]

Killing the game Haris

 

[ARK Rafay]

As much as this guy (Asif Ali) disappoints me I can't stop but to praise his Sixes shots

 

[waleed88]

Almost 10 an over

 

[Slim]

It was aimed at Mamoon, for bashing Fakhar and advocating Babar's captaincy credentials.

His running should have intensified after Babar's dismissal. Has he arrived yet?

 

[QalandarFan]

Horrible from Haris gotta smack the spinners!

 

[Hasan123]

Don't get mad for being proven wrong once again.

The problem with our fan base is guys like you who have a special appetite (even during Ramadhan) for mediocrity.

Just put them ignore like I have .

 

[Plumb]

what is Haris Sohail doing.

Helping England atm

 

[QalandarFan]

Let’s go Asif Buttler!

 

[KingKhanWC]

Lovely maximum.

Asif can still butcher these spinners, hardly Warne and Murali.

 

[Slim]

Someone tell asif ali he can hit somewhere else other than mid wicket in international cricket.

 

[babajee]

Don't get mad for being proven wrong once again.

The problem with our fan base is guys like you who have a special appetite (even during Ramadhan) for mediocrity.

You have proven nothing.

Stop giving yourself so much importance.

 

[Gullycricket]

Need more of those

 

[QalandarFan]

As much as this guy (Asif Ali) disappoints me I can't stop but to praise his Sixes shots

Hoping we see more than just that 1 today!

 

[R Shahid]

Yeah he got out at wrong time ,but he only is not there to win every game, n at the times he got the match is still in balance by modern standards of batsmanship ,but knowing pakistan they will probably collapse yet again

 

[KingKhanWC]

Total stop on scoring now

It normal when two new bats at the crease, unless you've been watching IPL. Relax and enjoy, game is 50/50

 

[Stewie]

At least the running today has been good

 

[Syed1]

Love him or hate him you can't deny he hits some monster sixes

 

[Titan24]

Good stuff Asif

 

[Slim]

Almost got out...

Asif Ali and Mid wicket.

 

[Hasan123]

Asif Ali needs to learn how to construct an innings. He can hit 6s at will.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Two sixes and running....

Is this the start of Asif's take off?

 

[Markhor]

Need to stay significantly ahead of England's score at this point of the innings.

Can't just leave everything to the end.

 

[Gullycricket]

Wow wow wow.The prince that was promised finally.Asif hai

 

[ARK Rafay]

Asif Ali looking so established now. What has he eaten?

 

[Plumb]

Thanks Asif...Keep going boundary then rotate strike

 

[QalandarFan]

Haha we got more than 1 today! Mission Impossible accomplished today!

 

[babajee]

117 from 78 is nothing.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Wow wow wow.The prince that was promised finally.Asif hai

Haha. Nice one

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Wallop!!

 

[Plumb]

Need a big over of 20-25 runs...

 

[Hasan123]

Great shot.

 

[MRSN]

Asif Butler voww
