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

[Inswing]

Rana bhai bye bye

 

[Mamoon]

If you're talking about Imad, he does average 40+ in FC and in ODIs.

This guy can bat.

Imad tries to be too cheeky at times. He doesn't need to back away all the time and go for funky shots. He is at his best when he plays orthodox shots.

 

[MRSN]

Lol at haters giving themselves tasallis when specialist captain slapped them on their face

Ineffective innings at the end of the day even though he faced two spin overs his favourite department

 

[jnaveen1980]

fa'heem pandya

 

[Mueez]

In comes Hasan Ali.

Will he do it?

 

[ARK Rafay]

Can Michael Atherton stop praising England's death bowling.

We've listened we know. Keep repeating the same thing

 

[JibranAnsari]

pakistan should play a specialist bowler in place of fahim.

 

[Ahmed216]

poor from Pak at the end but this ws expected

 

[AFM]

That should be his last game. Had enough of useless Faheem.

 

[DRsohail]

I want to see this faheem sobers out of the team.

 

[iPakistani]

Get Faheem out of this team ASAP

 

[Plumb]

Its actually good that Faheem got out... Useless AllRounder this is what Mickey produced in these 3 yrs.... Bravo!!!!!!!!!

 

[KingKhanWC]

Not much Faheem could do tbf

Englands to lose now.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Faheem Ashraf is a liability. Any decent hitter would have taken us home here.

 

[theariezman]

Given the past record Pakistan over achieved today....well played indeed.

 

[IMMY69]

Three sixes and a single
That’s all that’s needed

 

[ARK Rafay]

Ben Stokes please come to bowl the last over

 

[moghul]

Fake allround came and gone.

 

[Syed1]

19 off the last over is just 5-7 too much

 

[Markhor]

Well at least we took it to the final over.

 

[MRSN]

dont have any power in his shots , sarfraz.

Shame. This game we lost only because of lack of power from Sarfraz.

 

[JibranAnsari]

anwar ali was better than faheem

 

[Green Patriot]

Hasan come on make up for your poor bowling.

 

[Asif321]

Need to give credit to Pakistan though
Well fought

 

[Plumb]

19 needed... Now looking tough

 

[Rayyman]

What a chase boys. Our batting is set for WC.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

19 required off the last over.

 

[moghul]

Sarfraz is contended with getting close to the total but not winning it.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Can Michael Atherton stop praising England's death bowling.

We've listened we know. Keep repeating the same thing

English are desperate to win the world cup knowing their best chance ever but Willey will fail at the death in some big game for sure.

 

[Markhor]

Need Carlos Brathwaite.

 

[Destroyer88]

Faheem is a wasted investment.

 

[Plumb]

anwar ali was better than faheem

Hands down

 

[Mueez]

Oh gosh, this match...

 

[MRSN]

Well at least we took it to the final over.

It hurts. Should have won this if only our kaptaan could clear boundary once

 

[Asif321]

3 sixes

 

[Ahmed216]

Can Michael Atherton stop praising England's death bowling.

We've listened we know. Keep repeating the same thing

I think atherton also has to consider our lack of ability in such situations

 

[KingKhanWC]

Hasan Ali to hit some sixes here

 

[Syed1]

Shame. This game we lost only because of lack of power from Sarfraz.

LOL yeah we lost only because of Sarfaraz.... exposing your agenda. Get lost. Akmal will never play again.

 

[bluevision]

God damn.. thank you for the entertainment.. England is beatable.. conclusion..
And Pak batting aint that bad

 

[ARK Rafay]

A no-ball six will help alot

 

[Mueez]

We can’t blame Sarfraz if we lose this today.

If we have to blame somebody it is Faheem or Imam ul Haq

 

[jnaveen1980]

Can sarfraz pull a Dhoni

 

[topspin]

He's not.

Those are soft runs leading us to losses, because when it matters and he has to chase, he cannot. Doesn't have the shots.

You can keep his stats. Those might work if he bats at #4.

He's useless as a finisher / late order batter.

Funny how you conveniently ignored and selectively removed the remaining statements of my response, so I will ask again why are you backing Faheem now? You know he's substandard batsman but I know it's because you can't admit our best hitter is Imad.

If you don't want to answer don't, but for your sake do not lie in the month of Ramadan.

 

[Titan24]

Teams like Eng and Aus somehow always find a way to win against us in critical situations.

 

[Syed1]

We can’t blame Sarfraz if we lose this today.

If we have to blame somebody it is Faheem or Imam ul Haq

No for some folks Sarf is the culprit in all scenarios.

 

[Asif321]

16 from 5

 

[Asif321]

15 from 4

 

[MRSN]

LOL yeah we lost only because of Sarfaraz.... exposing your agenda. Get lost. Akmal will never play again.

Sarfraz lack of power hitting against pacer is the reason we lost today. Don't be a blind follower and accept faults in your superem leader

 

[Mueez]

16 from 5

Doable.

1 six and a four would do very well.

 

[Syed1]

Sarfraz lack of power hitting against pacer is the reason we lost today. Don't be a blind follower and accept faults in your superem leader

He is still striking at 140 son

 

[topspin]

Imad tries to be too cheeky at times. He doesn't need to back away all the time and go for funky shots. He is at his best when he plays orthodox shots.

Agreed. Needs to stick to his natural game. But the blunder was made by our captain to bring himself to the crease before Imad.

 

[Green Patriot]

Woakes has the worst economy out of all.If there is anybody who we can hit its him.
Come on guys please win us this.tired of losing now.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Down to you skipper.

 

[Hasan123]

Game over.

 

[MRSN]

Can sarfraz pull a Dhoni

Only if a spinner was bowling and with big if.

 

[Mueez]

Sarfraz take us home!

You can do this!

 

[Titan24]

Sarfaraz atleast connect

 

[Mamoon]

Pathetic innings by Sarfraz. Match losing. Just 2 boundaries in 32 deliveries at the death.

If this was Rizwan, his fans would be all over him.

 

[JibranAnsari]

terrible knock by sarfraz

 

[MRSN]

Down to you skipper.

Skipper has already given up)

 

[Asif321]

Hasan was bowling pies

 

[Abdullah719]

No one to blame for anything. Good match and good effort by the batsmen, but England planned well for the death overs and executed their plans.

In contrast, Pakistan's death bowling was poor. Though the likes of Buttler are good enough to put away good balls, but you can't be bowling length at the death and expect any kind of a positive outcome.

 

[Hasan123]

Good effort by Pakistan.

 

[Plumb]

 

[Rifaqat]

LOL yeah we lost only because of Sarfaraz.... exposing your agenda. Get lost. Akmal will never play again.

You keep quiet.

Sarfaraz is a waste of space. Accept it.

 

[Mueez]

Plunkett bowl a effing no-ball.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Game over.

Fell short. Of course. This has happened a hundred times now

 

[emranabbas]

Game over

 

[Titan24]

Poor from Sarfaraz

 

[Syed1]

Only if a spinner was bowling and with big if.

You were crying that Sarf will hide in the lower order...... your agendas are exposed time and again. Akmal will never play again. Keep crying.

 

[jnaveen1980]

bowling to tail, they can't land a straight yorker?

 

[castortroy]

Another one day loss

 

[Plumb]

Hasan was bowling pies

yup too many in slot

 

[KingKhanWC]

Unlucky Pakistan good effort in the end.

At least we know we can bat in such conditions.

 

[Slim]

Good attempt at a chase guys. Should have won this but its alright. Full credit to Fakhar, fantastic comeback innings.

 

[JibranAnsari]

sarfraz lost the match for pakistan. really poor.

 

[Strike!]

Sarfaraz is seriously pathetic when it comes to boundaries.

 

[Asif321]

Good show by Pakistan needed this for WC

 

[khan_aa]

the difference? 2 sixes by butler off yasir on two garbage balls.

 

[Titan24]

No one to blame for anything. Good match and good effort by the batsmen, but England planned well for the death overs and executed their plans.

In contrast, Pakistan's death bowling was poor. Though the likes of Buttler are good enough to put away good balls, but you can't be bowling length at the death and expect any kind of a positive outcome.

Really surprising that someone like Haris Rauf who was bowling the best yorkers in PSL was neglected
