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

[Afhan Ali]

Haris <<< Hafeez in chase

 

[JibranAnsari]

haris can not bat under this kind of run rate pressure.

 

[Titan24]

Harris keeping one end steady, but he needs to get singles not dots

We have a lot of batsmen who keep one end steady but only couple of hitters

 

[Hasan123]

Expecting specialist captain to hide in the dug out still.

 

[Syed1]

Lo jee bhai

 

[R Shahid]

Imam is surplas here,make haris or babar open

 

[adzzy786]

Thank you! And they brought in Yasir as replacement?! Why

We all have been asking that all day

 

[QalandarFan]

Well there goes Haris

 

[IMMY69]

A little late to the party but can anyone tell me why Amir isn't playing?

He’s sick

 

[ARK Rafay]

100 of 65. Still a tough ask.

 

[castortroy]

This is where you need a razzak. Miss those days

 

[Plumb]

Harry seriously man???

 

[nitrous]

Besharam captain will come out now.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Terrible shot, why of why Haris when Asif is getting the runs.

 

[Afhan Ali]

Imad come on

 

[topspin]

Bring in Imad

 

[ARK Rafay]

Captaan is in to win this game today

 

[Baigel]

Haris isn't a hitter...

 

[Gullycricket]

Snowflake Haris.Another choker

 

[JibranAnsari]

imad should have come , sarfraz will only increase the required run rate.

 

[Stewie]

Skipper needs to play a blinder and shut his critics up.. if any player can win us from here it’s sarfy...

 

[AFM]

Blessing in disguise. Harry had no timing throughout that innings.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan loosing there way here

 

[shah_1]

Out

 

[IMMY69]

We need Safaraz to step up and then Imad and Faheem to boost it

 

[Mueez]

Kaptaan pls carry us through.

 

[Afhan Ali]

Kaptaan

 

[Angrez Pakistani]

Harry falling at a crucial stage is the most Harry thing ever.

 

[castortroy]

I can see Ali pulling one to deep midwicket

 

[Hasan123]

Let's see if those who accuse Rizwan of selfishness will do the same to their hero if he doesn't hit big from ball 1.

 

[m.shah]

Imad should have come in

 

[barah_admi]

quick runs from asif, solid from sarfraz please

 

[Mamoon]

England should kick themselves for letting a team like Pakistan have a sniff at chasing the total. They bowled poorly to all batsmen. As good as their batting is, they will have to bowl with better execution in the World Cup. A bowling effort like this against India, Australia or New Zealand will prove to be very costly.

 

[Titan24]

If Fakhar wouldnt have fired, Imam, Babar and Haris couldnt have chased it in two innings.

We need more players who can play at SR of 100+

 

[ARK Rafay]

This is where you need a razzak. Miss those days

What an AR he was. I still get wow when I watch his 100 highlights vs South Africa

 

[Chokli]

1.Babar Azam
2.Fakhar Zaman
3.Haris Sohail
4.Mohammad Hafeez
5.Sarfraz Ahmed
6.Imad Wasim
7.Asif Ali
8.Shadab Khan
9.Mohammad Amir
10.Hasan Ali
11.Mohammad Hasnain

 

[sindhiboy]

time for a taptaan masterclass

 

[KingKhanWC]

100 of 65. Still a tough ask.

55-45 in Englands favour imo.

Skipper in, that biryani is there to see.

 

[Syed1]

Harry falling at a crucial stage is the most Harry thing ever.

We need to give option on PP to like posts

 

[Plumb]

Expecting specialist captain to hide in the dug out still.

 

[Green Patriot]

Imad should have come.

Sarfaraz cant hit it big.

 

[QalandarFan]

Finally Kaptan coming out!

 

[mak36]

Sarfaraz needs to do what he does best and rotate the strike. Asif needs to do what he does best...

 

[RobinJay]

....please Sarfaraz

 

[topspin]

Here comes specialist captain

 

[ARK Rafay]

1.Babar Azam
2.Fakhar Zaman
3.Haris Sohail
4.Mohammad Hafeez
5.Sarfraz Ahmed
6.Imad Wasim
7.Asif Ali
8.Shadab Khan
9.Mohammad Amir
10.Hasan Ali
11.Mohammad Hasnain

That's good except Shaheen in for Husnain

 

[ARK Rafay]

Sarfraz closed his eyes. And tried to hit out of the stadium

 

[JibranAnsari]

Sarfraz doesnt belong in the team in high scoring matches.

 

[Titan24]

Would be a shame if we dont chase it after such a monstrous effort

 

[topspin]

Imad should have come in before Sarfraz who's been striking it 75-80 in ODIs since 2018.

 

[asadee]

What a daft shot played by Haris

 

[Plumb]

PAkistan ahead of Eng and people still feel itchy

 

[Chokli]

Imad should have come in before Sarfraz who's been striking it 75-80 in ODIs since 2018.

specialist kaptaan needs to lead from the front

 

[Mamoon]

[MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION]
Rate Babar innings

He did what he could. Chasing 370 is not within his capacity.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Last 10 overs 98 with 6 in hand. Tough even against rubbish attack.

 

[AFM]

Only 2 runs and a wicket from that over.

 

[QalandarFan]

Poor over need a big one here now

 

[Justcrazy]

98 required of 60 balls.

Someone needs to play a blinder here

 

[m.shah]

PAkistan ahead of Eng and people still feel itchy

Eng scored 74 of last five

 

[Hawkeye]

Sarfraz is out playing.

We're DEFINITELY losing this game now!!!

He should know that he CANNOT bat.
[MENTION=143023]SarfiBabarHaris[/MENTION]

 

[Titan24]

PAkistan ahead of Eng and people still feel itchy

Bcz batsmen on the crease and upcoming arent much of chasers I think

 

[ARK Rafay]

PAkistan ahead of Eng and people still feel itchy

Most likely because we don't have a buttler waiting in our dug out

 

[KingKhanWC]

Asif Ali has a golden chance to really kick start his Int career and become a hero, I back him to get us close.

 

[Ronaldo7]

98 required of 60 balls.

Someone needs to play a blinder here

Maybe Asif Buttler.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

I know it won't go down well, but it's more important for Asif to score today than Pakistan win. He needs to make a quickfire 50 and that secures his place in the side, and an important one at that as we don't have many hitters who can win games.

 

[QalandarFan]

Eng scored 74 of last five

Yeah Asif Buttler ain’t out yet...

 

[Gullycricket]

Halwa bowler

 

[Plumb]

98 required of 60 balls.

Someone needs to play a blinder here

difference of 38 its no big deal couple of 14-15 runs over and we should be on course

 

[Afhan Ali]

Tuk tuk babar was far batter than Haris and Sarfi in this chase

 

[Hasan123]

Asif Ali should just go for it. The longer it goes the harder the chase will get.

 

[Ilan Bluestone]

Pakistani fans: Sarfraz is a keeper, no need to bat well

*Jos Butler explodes*

Pakistani fans:

 

[MRSN]

He did what he could. Chasing 370 is not within his capacity.

He was playing a perfect innings. It was a very soft dismissal.

 

[Hawkeye]

I know it won't go down well, but it's more important for Asif to score today than Pakistan win. He needs to make a quickfire 50 and that secures his place in the side, and an important one at that as we don't have many hitters who can win games.

This is correct.

Him and Faheem are our ONLY hitters. We need them to fire. Very important players.

 

[Khan12]

He did what he could. Chasing 370 is not within his capacity.

Not in capacity for majority of the batsmens in the world.

 

[Plumb]

Eng learned quick not bowling in his Arch... lets see how Asif deals with it

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Is this over for Pakistan?

 

[Hasan123]

He did what he could. Chasing 370 is not within his capacity.

Let's see if the usual suspects call Sarfraz selfish if he doesn't nat at the required rate.

 

[topspin]

specialist kaptaan needs to lead from the front

He should bro, but he's a virtually a tail ender these days.

2018: Averaging 24.40 @ 78.71 SR
2019: Averaging 24.00 @ 73.85 SR

Hasan Ali has done more with the bat during the same period.

 

[Chokli]

This is correct.

Him and Faheem are our ONLY hitters. We need them to fire. Very important players.

How is Faheem a hitter?

 

[JibranAnsari]

`sarfraz is finished as a cricketer, reflexes are gone.
