Pakistan v England | 1st T20I | NSK | 20 September 2022 | Pakistan innings

[Snowflake]

Shan showing intent Atleast

At least someone with a little courage

 

[imshally81]

160 is difficult now..

 

[msb314]

We’ll be lucky if we get 160 here

 

[Snowflake]

Rizwan gone

Good!

 

[Asif321]

Danger man ifti is here

 

[Ahmed216]

Seriously?

Cut him some slack. It's one game.

This attitude of fans is to blame too for the safety 1st approach of our team.

One game is enough to assess his approach. No player can ever succeed if he plays for a place in the side. Haider should have played for the team with only 1 wicket down after 10 overs.

 

[Kroll]

Iftikhar the finisher and Khushdil the demolition man to bring us home.

 

[Ashmal]

Can't just say "not my style" and get away with it. He is not scoring at a decent rate, hence the criticism.

His inngs was below average tonight but he's struggling for form right now so not at his best.

But even at his best when he scored those 100s in T20s he didn't really hit too many sixes...he relies on timing rather than power.

 

[Nasty Naz]

Hard to believe these rubbish England bowlers are picking up wickets.

 

[imranraf]

Anyway you put it, both Babar and Haider played badly. Now Rizwan fails to finish strong. He did his part though. Others need to pick up

 

[Rana]

If Chacha is out….

 

[Kroll]

***?

 

[Asif321]

Need to send in shadab

He isn’t playing lol

 

[Titan24]

Need to send in shadab

He has been rested today

 

[imshally81]

Ridiculous appeal by keeper

 

[Asif321]

What was that

 

[Titan24]

More than the PP its the middle overs (7-15) that have been a big issue for us

 

[JibranAnsari]

A nice rebuilding phase this

 

[Rana]

Chacha looks amazing in the blue kit

 

[JibranAnsari]

Dammit you rest the most energetic player of the team.

 

[t_kaay]

No. Not that. We wanted sixes. Which are a very common sight in T20s. What are you on about?

Pakistan's strategy, like it or not, has always been keep wickets in hand till the last 5 overs then go for the sixes. That's the way they play.

 

[Nasty Naz]

That was low class stuff from the wicketkeeper IMO.

 

[Rana]

“wE nEeD Shan MAsooD”

 

[Kroll]

Eng spinners causing damage.

 

[Snowflake]

Ifti please play a run a ball 20 here. I want to see how Babar and the team justify it

 

[imshally81]

Shan bhai gone

 

[JibranAnsari]

33/4 in last 6.1 overs.

 

[shah_1]

An awful batting team

 

[Marooned]

Lol Shan wut???
What was that???

 

[Asif321]

Unfair for Shan playing at 4 .

 

[Rana]

Dammit you rest the most energetic player of the team.

Fitness on point

 

[Kroll]

That was low class stuff from the wicketkeeper IMO.

Pure salty behaviour.

 

[Asif321]

They might not even reach 170 here

 

[Shafi]

Should be an easy win by England. Babar is happy to see score around 160.

 

[Marooned]

That was low class stuff from the wicketkeeper IMO.

Indeed.

 

[Nasty Naz]

Poor Shan. Came in far too late and had to hit shots which is not really his game.

 

[castortroy]

This pak middle order is definitely one of the worst ever

 

[D/DAhmed]

What a rubbish and third class middle order. Worse than most associate and affiliate nations

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Unfair for Shan playing at 4 .

He doesn't look like he could bat anywhere.

 

[Rana]

Lol Shan wut???
What was that???

Mr Adaptable

He played at 4 throughout the national cup

This is what we have produced

 

[kingusama92]

They're way behind on such a flat wicket. Terrible batting.

 

[Titan24]

If someone pulls out the middle overs data for Pak team in last season or so its going to be really an eye opening one I believe

 

[Kroll]

Rashid is top T20 bowler.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Poor Shan. Came in far too late and had to hit shots which is not really his game.

So why is he picked for a T20?

 

[Markhor]

Pakistan have a real problem against spin during middle overs. Innings grinding to a halt.

 

[Asif321]

Ifti is crap with spin

 

[Shafi]

English batsmen will murder our parchi spinner Qadir.

 

[Rana]

When the true 3 and 4 bat as openers

This is what happens

Ash karo mere dosto.

 

[JibranAnsari]

A captain should be able to make his own decisions on the field and according to situation. Babar seems like the one who is interested in his own batting only irrespective of what situation is.

Imo shadab could be a better leader in t20s for us.

 

[Marooned]

Should have sent in Khushdil.

Why is he hiding??

Let him show what is he in the team for??

 

[Fazzy321]

Can we even get 150 here

 

[Titan24]

170 from here would be some effort

 

[Nasty Naz]

Pakistan batters continue to remain horrible vs spin. That's the game plan to beat Pakistan. Spin spin and more spin.

Irony considering those 09-14 years.

 

[ChTab]

Shan The T20 specialist

 

[imranraf]

Although Shan got out cheaply he was one guy who was playing with the right intent.

 

[Asif321]

Just 25 runs in last 6 overs ?

 

[JibranAnsari]

38/4 last 6 overs.

 

[Rana]

The guy on 66 off 44 should have seen this through because that’s apparently his job?

 

[shariqnoor]

It's Babar and Rizwan or bust. Been like that for 2 years. And right now it's Rizwan or bust. Imagine if bonth Babar and Rizwan go out of form at the same time. For the past 1 month, I have been continuously hearing about why Haider needs to play. He is another rubbish batsman as are 99% of the batsmen in Pakistan.

 

[Marooned]

Nawaz is good because he isn't predictable.

He plays all over the park. That's why he was successful in that India game too.

 

[Kroll]

Can we even get 150 here

Should get 170 (hopefully)

 

[syd_pak]

Iftikhar rebuilding here like it’s a one day match

 

[ChTab]

Although Shan got out cheaply he was one guy who was playing with the right intent.

Yes, Amazing intent 7 of 7 with 1 boundary

 

[MRSN]

That was low class stuff from the wicketkeeper IMO.

Would have been controversial the way Aleem turned the appeal down if the foot was lifted. Against the spirit but should have gone to third umpire. Umpires can't decide what's according to spirit of the cricket.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Just 25 runs in last 6 overs ?

38

 

[Rana]

Willy is here to release pressure for us

 

[Asif321]

Shah can only bat as opener or one down .

 

[da_don]

shan should have come at 3 and haider 4… babar and saqlain are clueless when it xomes to strengths ans weakness.. its quite strange how an outsider david gower can see and state the obvious but our own management is just living in the 90s

 

[Kroll]

Iftikharrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

 

[Rana]

Go on Chacha keep going!!

 

[Nasty Naz]

So why is he picked for a T20?

Other than everyone clamoring for the pick, no idea. Even in National T20, he wasn't hitting sixes.

 

[Asif321]

That’s ifti for you lol

 

[Marooned]

It's Babar and Rizwan or bust. Been like that for 2 years. And right now it's Rizwan or bust. Imagine if bonth Babar and Rizwan go out of form at the same time. For the past 1 month, I have been continuously hearing about why Haider needs to play. He is another rubbish batsman as are 99% of the batsmen in Pakistan.

This is what is problematic.

All guns out after Haider fails 1st game on his return?

The attitude of fans too contributes to our safety 1st approach.

 

[Ahmed216]

Although Shan got out cheaply he was one guy who was playing with the right intent.

True

 

[MRSN]

38/4 last 6 overs.

Worse middle order than even Zimbabwe. The awful thing is these guys top domestic charts so we can't even complain their selection but I would not have any hope from these.

 

[Ahmed216]

The guy on 66 off 44 should have seen this through because that’s apparently his job?

Yes Rizwan is supposed to score a hundred every game

 

[Kroll]

Willy is here to release pressure for us

Chalo, most of our batsmen are release pressure for most of their bowlers, so this is welcome.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Really missing ramiz raja

 

[Nasty Naz]

Ugh these English fielders have stopped 3 boundaries now. Makes a huge difference.

 

[MRSN]

Iftikhar rebuilding here like it’s a one day match

Rizwan psychology. Cement your place then play for the team.
