Pakistan v England | 3rd ODI | Sharjah | Nov 17, 2015 | England innings

[MMHS]

Azhar, please retire from ODI. It's not your game buddy. Irfan has 5 overs left!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Pakcricket89]

This has got to be one of the worst pieces of Captaincy ever

 

[hussain.r97]

Missed stumping already hurting us.

Why was Zafar taken off?

 

[Barragan]

So much turn and yet our spinners failing to get wickets.

We only have one genuine spinner and he has picked up 2 or 3 wkts.

Malik and that ifi guy are part timers.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Hope azhar doesnt come out and say again that we are trying to bat aggressively these days.

 

[taqi]

Pathetic from captain

What is Azhar Ali thinking ?

He thinks nothing , its waqar job.

 

[khanpower]

azhar not a capital material.. need do or die now

 

[Executioner]

Can't blame the bowlers. You don't win with 208 on the board

 

[cricfan14]

The announcers are just non-stop questioning Azhar, as we all are. What the hell is he thinking, you don't have endless overs?!?!

 

[JibranAnsari]

Nauman anwar should play odis for pakistan. 30 40 quick runs will be enough.

 

[theariezman]

finally wahab

Right .

Iftikar is of no use.

 

[MMHS]

Malik & Irfans figures actually don't tell how good they have bowled.

 

[asyed]

Super intellectual captaincy and fabulous batting has caused us this game...

 

[Sherlock]

Awful captaincy. You have a dangerous player in Taylor there and he brings himself on, Then you have a player at the other end low in confidence he he milks the strike to get himself set.

 

[Executioner]

Wahab has 7 overs left. Irfan has plenty. Zafar is a left arm spinner and effective against two RHB.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Wahab is on, i hope from other end Zafar or Irfan will bowl

 

[theariezman]

we almost lost the game unless we got these two out of the crease.

Actually not Iftekhar - they should have dropped Anwar & pick a genuine spinner for this wicket.

 

[Justcrazy]

Nauman anwar should play odis for pakistan. 30 40 quick runs will be enough.

He will be lucky to last 10 balls against.Good pacers

Bring Yaamin, better option.

 

[JibranAnsari]

That missed stumping chance was huge.

 

[Justcrazy]

No one in the squad.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Irfan is warming up, so it means he will come from next end.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Bring Yaamin, better option.

Cant bowl well and we need an opener or a good number three thats not shehzad.

 

[The cricket enthusiast]

What was irfan practicing there?

 

[Pak Warrior]

What was irfan practicing there?

Common stretching exercise for calf muscles

 

[JibranAnsari]

Well we will see how he pans out.

 

[Barragan]

LOL

Bumble is hilarious.

 

[Enigma_]

LOL Mushtaq and Irfan side by side ) )

 

[Watsupdoc]

Rameez and Bumble having some fun.

Man we need to get a wicket here. Get Buttler out.

 

[#GreenRoars]

If Irfan strikes in his first over, then we may have some chance.

 

[Pak Warrior]

Bumble is hilarious, "look at Mushtaq he looks like he fell out of Irfan pocket" )

 

[imshally81]

Match is slipping...

We really need Amir back in the squad. Both Wahab and Irfan can't get more than 2-3 wickets. Hope PCB will realize

 

[MMHS]

No one in the squad.

I know, team selection was at fault if they knew what sort of wicket they are going to play. IND at home ODI fills the squad with 3, sometimes 4 genuine spinners; PAK went with 2.

 

[Justcrazy]

The reality is that England better team than Pakistan. Pakistan lost last time also.

Poms have better batters also effective all rounders.

 

[cricfan14]

this was a horrendous captaincy move. This is many overs too late, and the combination is so dumb.

Azhar you dummy you cannot contain with these runs!!!!!!!! You have to go for WICKETS. *** is this setup

 

[kingusama92]

Bumble is hilarious.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Damn, fell short.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Its been ages since we had a good wicket keeper. More than a decade and a half.

 

[Watsupdoc]

Come on attack! This is such a defensive field set.

 

[ChachaCricket]

Brings Irfan after the batsmen are settled. Genius.

They had no idea ?

Cannot believe that. Pakistan selection is never sensible.

Bilal Asif is a genuine spinner!

 

[Enigma_]

If Azhar thinks we are better than what our ODI ranking suggests then he's in some sort of lala land that guy. My god these pathetic performances by the team prove that you more than deserve the #8 spot if not the #9 spot. Absolutely atrocious.

 

[Pakcricket89]

Got to bowl Zafar from one end

 

[Sherlock]

Awful. No close fielders barring a slip. Create something don't wait for England to do it

 

[marlonbrowndo]

That stumping is a keepers job. That shouldve been done no excuses

 

[asyed]

Sarfraz has costed this game twice.

Once when he threw away his away right after when Hafeez was gone (that's the start of collapse).

Secondly, when he missed Buttler stumping chance.

 

[#GreenRoars]

61 left now

 

[MMHS]

Poms have better batters also effective all rounders.

Not in this condition - trust me, ENG 'll lose 5-1 or 6-1 to SRL on similar wickets. Today's batting display was atrocious. Still could have won the match - Sarfraz spilled that.

 

[Madplayer]

very poor captaincy from azhar along with the horrendous batting display by Pak,. Add to that sarfaraz has been crap behind the wickets.

 

[The_KING]

Irfan should have been brought on after Morgan's dismissal. Now it's too late

 

[#GreenRoars]

Come on attack! This is such a defensive field set.

Azhar Ali can attack only in press conference, not on the field.

 

[Watsupdoc]

Did Sarfraz miss an easy stumping?

 

[Arsal_AK]

Get Malik or Zafar on from one end atleast.

They are the only ones that will get the wickets at this stage.

Runs/ Overs dont matter here. If Eng stay in, they are getting there.

yeh they are better because Pakistan is not fighting at all... they are just giving it away.

why are you giving them every single Azhar? I'm so angry

 

[Firebreaker]

Tbh it was a quicker ball.The one like which he missed in NZ

 

[Arsal_AK]

Azhar is such a useless captain. Look at the feild. Its like he is defending 350.

 

[hussain.r97]

Awful field arrangement. Even I could set a better field

 

[Pakcricket89]

Zafar, he went for few runs but against two right handers with ball turning he was always looking dangerous

 

[hussain.r97]

Bring Zafar on. Pace is useless with the soft old ball. There's no reverse on offer.

 

[Watsupdoc]

Have to say the captaincy has been pretty pathetic.

 

[asyed]

Buttler on 0.

 

[theariezman]

only a only wahab bowling looks he is fighting

Best bowler of the day by far. A lot of the runs scored off him were streaky.

 

[Pakcricket89]

ow he gets pacers from both ends when ball is turning

 

[theariezman]

Irfan is useless now at this stage.

Cant understand why he was removed, should have been bowled out

 

[Madplayer]

singles galore! azhar is reactive rather than proactive.

Mind games with England

 

[taqi]

Why he is saving 3 overs of Zafar gohar why ???

Lol some people screaming he isn't bringing on Irfan, then he does and people are screaming about that too.

 

[Watsupdoc]

How can u allow a single there?

He is inactive (Neither reactive nor proactive)

+1. Bowled some absolute jaffas. That ball which pitched on leg and missed off....

Imagine him in tests. This should be the end of Babar.
