Pakistan v England | 1st ODI | Abu Dhabi | Nov 11, 2015 | England innings

[zabalestmsm]

What an easy 50 for Morgan under a crucial situation!

 

[Amjid Javed]

Morgans 8th 50 in last 11 inns, hes a man in form and leading from the front

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Anything less than 270 we will chase IA. We have deep batting. Anwar comes at 8.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Good start from Wahab here, keeping both batsmen honest with his efforts.

 

[Justcrazy]

Bilal is nothing exceptional , a bits and pieces kind.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Morgan looks in amazing form. Great late cut

 

[dhump]

how is Wahab doing ?? anything special as of yet ?

 

[#GreenRoars]

Morgan and Taylor both are fine players of spin

 

[Amjid Javed]

Morgan seeming to find the boundary with ease once an over against the spinners.

 

[#GreenRoars]

how is Wahab doing ?? anything special as of yet ?

Just normal bowling, 140+. Nothing special so far.

 

[Justcrazy]

Anything less than 270 we will chase IA. We have deep batting. Anwar comes at 8.

Deep batting is not going to help , you need quality batters.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Great cover drive by taylor.

 

[zabalestmsm]

Wow wow! Shot of the day so far!

 

[#GreenRoars]

Good shot Taylor

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Deep batting is not going to help , you need quality batters.

Azhar, babar, Hafeez and malik (both in form) sarfraz are good

 

[Zahid87]

Barely anyone in the stadium - this is an ODI. Not a 'boring' test!

I get its a working day....but still.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Poor bowling as a unit here, 1 hit me ball an over is poor and shows lack of control in bowling.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

After this its out of form buttler and moeen. The rest are bits and pieces.

 

[Justcrazy]

98/3

20 overs

 

[Amjid Javed]

England 98/3 after 20 overs and back on track here.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

In the air!

 

[asyed]

Both are playing without any bother. Need to break this partnership ASAP.

 

[Justcrazy]

Morgan looking for boundary every over.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

If bowlers bowl some rubbish balls like these in each overs what does the captain do??

 

[marlonbrowndo]

A wicket or 2 soon will change everything

 

[Justcrazy]

Despite loosing three early wickets , poms did not get boged down.

 

[habibi hayya]

Where's Imad Wasim? Bloody hell PCB....

 

[Justcrazy]

Azhar, babar, Hafeez and malik (both in form) sarfraz are good

Time will tell.[emoji41]

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Terrible ball! So damn full

 

[Justcrazy]

Where's Imad Wasim? Bloody hell PCB....

Injured.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Where's Imad Wasim? Bloody hell PCB....

Why blame pcb? His hand got injured while catching

 

[#GreenRoars]

Taylor such a fine player of spin, smashed it for
Bring back Anwar Ali

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Despite loosing three early wickets , poms did not get boged down.

Admirable. We can learn from this

 

[#GreenRoars]

Where's Imad Wasim? Bloody hell PCB....

Allah k walli he is injured, not PCB's fault.

 

[Justcrazy]

Run rate exactly five now.

 

[asyed]

Crap 4 in every over PLUS singles

 

[habibi hayya]

Why blame pcb? His hand got injured while catching

facepalm. thanks.

 

[Justcrazy]

Morgan should have played Tests.

 

[Abdul]

Morgan should have played Tests.

Hasn't played a Test since last three years.

 

[Enigma_]

Okay we really need a wicket now. Partnership is taking away the game from us.

 

[asyed]

Morgan should have played Tests.

Don't be delusional, playing quality spin on day 4 5 is no joke.

 

[zabalestmsm]

Wahab is using his weapon i.e. pace, really well!

 

[asyed]

Good over so far by Wahab. On contrary, Bilal has been very flat

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan need quick wickets.

 

[zabalestmsm]

facepalm. thanks.

Lol what a facepalm ha ha!

 

[Justcrazy]

Don't be delusional, playing quality spin on day 4 5 is no joke.

Morgan is good against spin.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Irfan is on now, Irfan v Taylor - interesting competition

 

[asyed]

Wahab is using his weapon i.e. pace, really well!

[MENTION=133627]zabalestmsm[/MENTION] what's your opinion about Bilal's bowling so far?

 

[Abdul]

Irfan back now.

 

[Justcrazy]

Running has been really good by England , they running like hares.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Despite having a fielder at point they still got a single...

 

[asyed]

Morgan is good against spin.

Again playing ODI vs Test on day 4 5 is incomparable.

 

[zabalestmsm]

[MENTION=133627]zabalestmsm[/MENTION] what's your opinion about Bilal's bowling so far?

He looked rusty! And a bit short and slow! But he delivered some good balls as well! So hopefully he will find a good rhythm as the match goes on!

 

[Justcrazy]

Dew will be a factor here.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Good over by Irfan

 

[asyed]

He looked rusty! And a bit short and slow! But he delivered some good balls as well! So hopefully he will find a good rhythm as the match goes on!

Honestly man, he looks below far. We desperately need 1-2 quick wickets.

 

[Justcrazy]

110/3

23 overs.

 

[Justcrazy]

Again playing ODI vs Test on day 4 5 is incomparable.

But he has basics right.

 

[zabalestmsm]

Honestly man, he looks below far. We desperately need 1-2 quick wickets.

Hopefully!

 

[asyed]

Need more overs like last 2 to build some kind of pressure. ENG are making runs with leeway so far after first 3 wickets.

 

[zabalestmsm]

This is turning out to be one of the best comebacks!

 

[zabalestmsm]

Yas bowling well!

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Good over from yasir

 

[dhump]

Need a wicket urgently here.

 

[Enigma_]

Great over Yasir! More like that please!

 

[asyed]

Good over by Shah.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Bouncers not working here

 

[#GreenRoars]

Ooooof, lucky Morgan

 

[Bilal7]

Is Irfan trotting to the crease? His run-up seems even shorter and slower than usual.

 

[Enigma_]

That's what happens when dot balls occur. Pressure builds and he's forced into a stupid shot. Keep on going don't release the pressure.

 

[asyed]

But he has basics right.

No question about it mate! But cant we say the same for Cook, Root and Taylor too?

 

[asyed]

Bachat ho gai Morgan ki...

Irfan is bowling really good here.

 

[asyed]

Yasir is bowling really well now. I'm smelling a wicket soon!

 

[Markhor]

And with that rank half volley ALL the pressure is released.

Bilal Asif getting found out at international level. Zimbabwe are rubbish at playing spin but against a more quality side like England will he have the same impact ?

Now spanked for six.

 

[jusarrived]

Bilal looks average ?

 

[Amjid Javed]

Asif been take apart here by Taylor and morgan here...

 

[Amjid Javed]

Spinner bowling poorly and been taken apart here

 

[Shafi]

Yasir, Rahat and Bilal are useless in ODI.

 

[zabalestmsm]

Yas looking really good! Deserves a wicket!

 

[#GreenRoars]

Frustrating now
