Topley looks like a good find for England. Only 21 and has bowled very well in this match so far.

Hope he gets called up to the England Test squad. He's 6ft 7 so will get extra bounce and is a left-armer so will provide something different to this England attack.

If he's causing problems on the flat UAE tracks for sure he can be a threat in England conditions.
 
Hafeez needs to score a 100 here and win this game for us.
 
Hate to think what Mustafizur would've done to that England and Pakistani batting line-up. Only Shehzad, Hafeez and Umar look like decent ODI batsman; the rest are way below average in terms of skill. No wonder Pakistan are dropping ranking points. Bowling looks good enough, but you need the batsman that can score the runs required to chase/defend.
 
For anybody that wants to check, the Younis dismissal looked like a carbon copy of how he got out in the 2007 T20 final against India.

Lol this guy...
 
:))) I can imagine YK saying exactly that while he's giving me a cheeky grin and holding his bat I mean shovel in his hand. Can you imagine Azar ali walking onto the pitch to the one mann band theme while YK is having a giggle about it

Lmao I'm laughing just imagining that. :)) Man, YK's buried so many young Pak bats, he should start batting with a shovel for real. :)))

Very good player at home conditions.

Really doubt he'd be as good on these pitches.

Lol at Shehzad & Umar being decent ODI batsman. Rizwan, Sarfraz, Malik, Azhar & even Babar are better.
 
Am I hearing this correctly ?? Nara -e- Takbeer ??? Allah uo Akbar ???? from the crowd.

what is going on there to be honest ???
 
Had to choose between Hafeez & Azhar for my fantasy team, went for Azhar :facepalm:
 
Sensible stuff from Hafeez and Malik, taking the sting out of this game. Barring that one ball Hafeez failed to pick off Rashid, they've looked pretty comfortable and have been rotating the strike nicely against the spinners.
 
?

That's a pretty normal chant at Pakistan games

Yeah I know that but isn't that our war chant ??? I mean in games you usually say stuff like,

Girti Huwe diwar ko aik dhaka aur do

Zara zor say bolo...Pakistan

Jeway Jeway... Pakistan

Pakistan Zindabad

etc etc

What memories though. Remember hearing these roaring through the stadiums back home.

It's unfortunate we haven't had home cricket in ages. I wonder if we'll ever get to hear these chants again the way we used to.

:))) you know how hunter was carrying all those skulls during his mania 31 entrance? YK should do that except those skulls would be all the pak batsman he has buried :))) time to play the team man! tuh tuh! it's all about Younis and if you can play him! I am the team man! no way you wanna play me!
 
Oh god! Don't compare Afridi With The Great Miandad

Afridi has more runs than Maindad
Both have Game changing Six hits against Arch rivals India, Actually Afridi has two of them in a row.
Afridi has 390 odd wickets in his career.
Pak managed to play Semi Final of a WC during his tenure which Miandad couldn't achieve
Afridi has superior looks and Silky hair.

Afridi > Miandad (Logic of new generation following Lala)

People might mistake this for being serious, although I had a good laugh. Too clever you are for the majority of the demographic here.
 
Botham always has a reason to cry and whinge doesn't he?

For once i agree with him the boundaries on grounds should be made as big as possible in odis, we arent india who need to play on pathetically small grounds so we can make easy runs.

Yeah man :( I always feel saddened whenever I try to remember those days.

It's really a shame we haven't had the chance to really enjoy how we used to when I was growing up.

Haha solid jab there at the end at India lol, good stuff. But the boundaries are fair size already IMHO.
 
Hafeez shud stick to normal cricket shots and non of this premeditated nonsense.

Shehzad and Umar not only have better records, but play ODIs how it should be played. You guys are just ruining their careers especially Umar. I think Umar should return, but should be played at #4 and given a good run, as he will most likely deliver.
 
Spinners tightening up the grip, Pakistani's should not loose any more wickets. They just need to sail along with ones and twos.

Once again Hafeez showing his pure class!

Am not a massive fan of where boundaries are brought in on grounds, you should play on largest surface possible, i hatd grounds where even mis hits go for 6.
