Pakistan v England | 2nd T20I | Dubai (DSC) | Nov 27, 2015 | England innings

[#GreenRoars]

England Team
JJ Roy, AD Hales, JM Vince, JE Root, JC Buttler*, SW Billings†, DJ Willey, CR Woakes, AU Rashid, LE Plunkett, SD Parry
Pakistan Team
Rafatullah Mohmand, Ahmed Shehzad, Mohammad Hafeez, Shoaib Malik, Umar Akmal, Sohaib Maqsood, Sarfraz Ahmed†, Shahid Afridi*, Anwar Ali, Sohail Tanvir, Wahab Riaz

England batting first.

 

[WC-Passion]

Yes, as long as our top 3 don't have brain freezes and we don't have silly run outs, which is rare with Pakistan but it's possible.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Toss is coming up

 

[IM NOT YOU]

The outcome will depend entirely on team selection.

If we get rid of Imran khan and rizwan and replace them with bilal asif and shoaib malik or aamer yamin then it will strengthen both our bowling and batting.

These moves are a no brainer but having watched Pakistan cricket long enough I feel like they will never get it right.

Josh Buttler is captain today, and England is batting first.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Malik and Shezzi in [MENTION=139202]11ShadyBrothers[/MENTION]

[PTI tsunami]

Wow some wonderful stuff from England management. Giving chances for everyone.

 

[Abdullah719]

Shehzad, Riffatullah, Hafeez, Maqsood, Umar, Malik, Sarfraz, Afridi, Anwar, Sohail, Wahab.

So... bowlers... where are they?

 

[#GreenRoars]

So i was right about changes

 

[hadi123]

So England have won the toss and therefore the match

[#GreenRoars]

Strong batting line up, 2 spinners that's good.

 

[hadi123]

We don't deserve to be number 2 in the world, do you think we will be whtiewashed cos there's no way we are winning today, we can't chase for ****

It always is nice to see so many batsmen in the team, but over time, I have realised that even if we have 100 batsmen, the expectations should be tempered.

Especially when we are chasing. Congratulations England

Would be shame id Afridi loses against a rookie skipp#Buttler

 

[#GreenRoars]

Again England bowling is very much strong, but i hope our batsmen will cope.

 

[Betterpolo]

England batting deeper than yesterday but gambling on just 5 bowlers plus Root. Very deep batting though with lots of aggression - never though England would ever put out teams like this in any format

 

[pak4life]

Afridi and Malik our two main spinners is very disappointing and embarrassing. At best both are 6th and 7th change bowlers. Where are all our specialist spinners???

 

[Kianig89]

^travesty Yasir playing in BPL right now

 

[Abdullah719]

Fakhr-e-Alam is quite the clown.

 

[Kianig89]

Eng highly favs. Specially after winning toss

 

[hadi123]

England will make 180 I reckon
Pakistan will get off to a horrible start, our tail enders will have some fun and we will lose by about 30 runs.

I must say England management is very brave.

 

[Abdullah719]

^travesty Yasir playing in BPL right now

Not exactly setting the world alight there, though. Yasir is not the answer in our quest for a T20 spin option. Imad is good but we need to keep another option.

Really should have given Bilal and Yamin a go today.

 

[dandapinda]

Go England

 

[90MPH]

Our bowling is too thin. Someone like Zafar should have been given a go.

This, which shows that every team takes T20 seriously and yet somebody yesterday (on a thread) after loosing the game said 'Oh who cares about these T20 but Pakistani's'.

If you're so pessimistic then what are you doing here in the first place?

 

[Strike Rate]

All the 11 players in our team are those that can bat so if today we can't chase anything less than 170 we should better quit and go home without playing 3rd T20 match

[Passionate Observer]

Shehzad, Riffatullah, Hafeez, Maqsood, Umar, Malik, Sarfraz, Afridi, Anwar, Sohail, Wahab.

So... bowlers... where are they?

Do you honestly consider Wahab "I am allrounder" Riaz a batsman? I mean seriously? He's a pure number 11 judging by his clueless batting technique.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Shehzad will be chasing

 

[Passionate Observer]

Good to see Shehzad back, too much talent to sit out on bench.

 

[Abdullah719]

He's good for a few tullas.

 

[zabalestmsm]

Bad bowling selection! No Bilal Asif again! Which means no specialist spinner again! God help us!

 

[Passionate Observer]

This is the best lineup you can come up with in this squad baring Rafatullah, seems like sense has prevailed in management.

 

[Markhor]

Afridi and Malik are our two main spinners. Its 2004 all over again.

At least the bowling is more balanced this time. Chasing again though

 

[yasir]

Too many allrounders who have no special skills. This team is neither here or there. They will score big and win easily.

Angraiz owning Pakistanis so far in short forms of the game, lets hope Pakistan fights back.

 

[Barragan]

Good changes, but we needed another spinner in Bilal.

 

[Barragan]

How is Malik going to bowl 4 overs and more importantly bat with one hand?!?

 

[Lords]

Love for under 5 toys by grown up men . Its unique to pakistan

 

[Passionate Observer]

Good changes, but we needed another spinner in Bilal.

He is as mediocre as it can get, nothing special.

 

[Betterpolo]

Two questions if I may...

The Pakistani supporter in the black replica kit. Which kit so this? My ale is very impressed.

And what is it with Pakistan supporters and stuffed toy animals? Will this be repeated in England this summer?

 

[Passionate Observer]

Its weird to be honest.

 

[Mr Consistent]

4-0
1st over

I am not a big fan of Malik, but he dominates this format in tourneys. Let's see if he can bring some prowess at an international stage.

 

[Barragan]

A bowler who picks up 5 wkts certainly deserves another chance.

 

[Passionate Observer]

Stuffed Toys ) Whats with these Pakistani spectators?

 

[Justcrazy]

pakistan going with deep batting

 

[Syed2015]

Stop it. Its enough, we have seen way too much of these stuffed toys.

 

[Mahmood101]

Lmao even rameez raja is questioning his own people what is the significance of those toys

Hafeez not bowling has hurt pakistan balance a lot .

Poms can afford risks , Plunkett at number nine

 

[world cup captain]

Shehzad will be chasing

What's wrong with that?

 

[Barragan]

Poms can afford risks , Plunkett at number nine

Pak have Riaz at no. 11

With yorker specialist Waqar Younis as our coach you'd think we'd actually use them to greater effect.

Poor over from Anwar.

 

[world cup captain]

Anwar with some :AAG

Tall, well built, decent run up, and furious look. But delivers a 120 k delivery.

 

[Belawal2014]

If they miss their length, then its a six.

Forget effect, I haven't seen our bowlers bowl a yorker at all in a long time.

130k, don't exaggerate.

Not like we never get smashed.

Yesterday Topley, Jordan and Plunkett were bowling them for fun.

Our LOI bowling this year has been toothless, we've conceded 300+ scores in ODIs on a number of occasions (West Indies, India, Sri Lanka, England) and frankly Amir doesn't have much in way of competition when he makes his return.

Roy and Hales already have built a good platform here.
