Pakistan v England | 2nd ODI | Abu Dhabi | Nov 13, 2015 | Pakistan Innings

[MenInG]

England 283/5

BIG Challenge for Pakistan batsmen.

Can they do it?

 

[Sherlock]

Can see Pakistan being 48-2 after 10 overs then getting out for under 200

 

[Mamoon]

Hafeez needs to score another hundred. Why do I have a feeling we can gun this down?

Something's not right with me today.

 

[Enigma_]

You know for once I have confidence in our batting lineup and to be perfectly honest if we want to be up there with the big boys then we have to chase totals like this.

 

[Mamoon]

No Shehzad, Misbah and Umar in the team with Babar, Malik and Rizwan replacing them means that theoretically, our chances of chasing big totals have enhanced.

 

[Justcrazy]

Its not that big total , its a par score , need to plan the chase well.

 

[Justcrazy]

Yasir should not be played in all OD , its a big mistake , better choose right games.

 

[asyed]

Need Hafeez and Azhar to start the innings...

 

[asyed]

I must say, they were looking to score about 315 or above but our bowler did marvelous job to restrict them about 30-40 runs short.

 

[BigBoy123]

Who will open with azhar , babar or hafeez? I think hafeez

[BigBoy123]

Rizwan is the key man for us today... Malik has a big role today

[Robert]

Can they do it?

I think so, against this second-rate England attack.

 

[BigBoy123]

Babar to open.

[Amjid Javed]

Azhar off the mark 1st ball..

 

[Hawkeye]

PP is going to crash!!

Babar is opening. )

 

[WC-Passion]

I'm happy that Hales did well, I've been backing him for a bit and hoping he'd perform finally.

 

[dashing_man]

we have batsman till 10

 

[Amjid Javed]

Need to be careful against ball swinging back into right handers and avoid lbw

 

[Enigma_]

Come on Babar he looks a solid batsman and need Azhar to score here, hasn't looked himself ever since Hajj.

 

[WC-Passion]

PP is going to crash!!

Babar is opening. )

Good job.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Single to Babar

 

[Justcrazy]

Hafeez not opening ?

 

[BigBoy123]

Need to play out first 10 overs without losing too many wkts..we can cash big time on rashid and ali

[Amjid Javed]

A solid opening stand needed here.

 

[WC-Passion]

Hafeez not opening ?

Probably playing at 3 as he scored 100, and anyway it's good if we can get Babar Azam going at no.1-2.

 

[BigBoy123]

Whats wrong with azhar?

[Amjid Javed]

Pak 2/0 after 1 over

 

[Justcrazy]

what is happening ?

 

[Arsal_AK]

Babar Opening.

I hope Rizwan moves up to 4 as well. He is too good a player to wasted at six.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Topley to bowl from other end...

 

[imshally81]

Topley on

[Markhor]

Wish we had Haris Sohail for this. Iftikhar Ahmed an unknown quantity at international level, will need seniors like Azhar, Hafeez and Malik to step up big time for a tough run chase under lights.

 

[Arsal_AK]

Good shot.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Nice shot for 2 through covers for babar.

 

[Barragan]

Eng 5 down and only manged 280 odd?

Excellent bowling at the death.

 

[Enigma_]

Tell you what usually PPers fan boy about anyone they like but they have definitely picked a solid one in Babar Azam. He looks like the real deal. Just need to let him develop.

 

[razabbas]

With england bowlers and this pitch it isnt a big total tbh

We can chase it down with a decent batting lineup

 

[WC-Passion]

Will probably be:

1)Azhar
2)Babar Azam


3)Hafeez
4)Sarfraz
5)Malik
6)Rizwan
7)Iftikhar Ahmed
8)Anwar Ali

 

[razabbas]

Yes even he can bowl few overs and a quality bat he is

Missing him

 

[asyed]

Surprise surprise, look who's opening with Azhar . Yes, it's Babar...

 

[imshally81]

Azhar should come at no 3

Ramesh: "Todays simple equation. If the RRR goes to 8 within 10 overs = Eng to win. If not then PAK to win." Show your working please Ramesh. My maths teacher would flip his lid, and scrawl the commentary in red pen

Cricinfo

 

[WC-Passion]

I think?

 

[razabbas]

**** baabar

 

[Enigma_]

And I have jinxed him

 

[Barragan]

Most likely umpires call

 

[razabbas]

Azhar ali type dismissal

 

[Ahson8]

Noooooo, Babar gone.

 

[asyed]

Crap

 

[Justcrazy]

Babaar fails

 

[razabbas]

Hafeez is the key here

 

[Justcrazy]

Babaar needs to be given a longer run.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

I don't get why these batsmen have so much trouble negotiating the ball that swings in to the pads. It's bowled at such a slow pace and only one way, it shouldn't be that hard.

 

[badsha001]

should have played with straight bat... now blame waqar younis for his dismissal

 

[imshally81]

Topley the danger man

[iRfaN_LA]

Babar should play in middle order and Shehzad should open.

 

[Enigma_]

Babar didn't play for the swing. Should learn from that. New ball it is going to swing boy.

 

[yasir]

So playing new ball is not Babar's thing, like 200M rest of us

 

[WC-Passion]

Not happy that he got out to an in-swinging 125kph thunderbolt.

 

[The cricket enthusiast]

Played so well at middl order shouldnt have disturbed his place

 

[Barragan]

Babaar needs to be given a longer run.

Hopefully they persist with him and someone tell this commentator that Babar opens in FC

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan are not consistent enough to win two consecutive OD games

 

[HuzaifaE]

Just watch him get dropped...

 

[daytrader]

This was our most prolific opening pair for a long time. Big wicket for England

 

[Justcrazy]

Exposing youngster on top was a poor move.

 

[zabalestmsm]

So looks like Iftikhar will come at 4 ahead of Sarfraz! I would want Iftikhar at 7!

 

[SM1989]

Put Babar Azam under a bit of pressure and there he goes...

 

[Justcrazy]

7 / 1

3 overs

 

[Commander]

LOL, this is the bradman technique of Babar Azam everyone was talking about?

 

[HuzaifaE]

Put Babar Azam under a bit of pressure and there he goes...

Oh yeah, certified failure based on 1 game, get Lord Shehzad back

 

[HuzaifaE]

LOL, this is the bradman technique of Babar Azam everyone was talking about?

Haha right? Its almost like a 20 year old can be forgiven for 1 bad game...

 

[EngrOmair]

Exposing youngster on top was a poor move.

Well can't tell Younis to take retirement back and open for us. Someone has to take the responsibility when chance is given and one fails the blame is on the management

[ChachaCricket]

Pakistan has the most ignorant cricket fans.

 

[zabalestmsm]

If we negate the new ball well, then it would be our game to lose! Their spinners must be attacked from ball 1!

 

[Enigma_]

The guy scored 50 in the last match, relax everyone.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pak 9/1 after 4 overs, not the start we wanted

 

[SM1989]

Not more than 150 to be scored by Pakistan. You heard it here first. Its like we give up whenever we don't win the toss and bat first. Its in our psyche (Oh no we have to chase, I am scared!)
