England to win...

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Wrist slitters have returned

 

[AmirFutureWasim]

azhar ali will once again be his usual tuk tuk self. Next pakistan cuptaan will be shafiq bc he has a good attitude and is yet another yes man

 

[marlonbrowndo]

We win the toss and bat first. Yes!

 

[#GreenRoars]

Azhar Ali confirms that Zafar Gohar makes his debut in place of the injured Yasir Shah

 

[Yatoo]

Iftikar saved by his 6, overs

 

[Amjid Javed]

Batting 1st, lets hope we dont lose early wickets or bat like snails at the start of the inns as usual.

 

[Jabo]

Let see if azhar can perform

Not a huge test for him with no broad, anderson, wood, finn

 

[Sherlock]

I can almost foresee a slow start only to lose early wickets yet again and lose our way.

I really should stop looking at that crystal ball

 

[Ahson8]

Have a feeling Babar will score BIG today inshaAllah and get us to a winning total.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Azhar needs to show some positive intent and also our batsmen need to stop looking clueless against left arm seamers, they get plenty of practice against in the the nets!

 

[Pakcricket89]

Iftikar saved by his 6, overs

Well he deserves another go, It was his first innings and we cant make out anything based on that

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Lets hope we can put at the least 280 on the board. Pakistan is an inconsistent side so you are never sure with them.

Need a positive start by Kaptaan, i hope he won't do tuk tuk today.

If he scores 60+ at strike rate of 85+, I will take that. Nothing short of it. Else I want his head. Sir as captain, Nouman as opener.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Pakistan should aim for 270+

Nouman not even under the radar of our intelligent selectors.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Hopefully azhar regains form today!

 

[Yatoo]

Nouman not even under the radar of our intelligent selectors.

Apart from shezzy, koi bi chalay ga

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Good start azhar

 

[adnan yasin]

need to be open stance for babar azam... for the coming in .. i hope he doesnt make the same mistake again

 

[#GreenRoars]

Willey with the opening over

 

[Yatoo]

Babar azam needs to score. Else we will see shezzy back

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Im worried about inswinger to babar. Damn that wouldve been 4

 

[adnan yasin]

that was a nice stop.. rare misdirected inswinger

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Ramiz and his "amateurish smile"

 

[marlonbrowndo]

I always get scared when the batsman tried to play a wide ball down the leg side

 

[#GreenRoars]

Good first over by England

 

[Amjid Javed]

Need to try and not let england bowlers settle into a rhtyme and put them off their line and lengths.

 

[adnan yasin]

Aaah ... fishing outside off

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Ramiz doesnt know much about our players. He should just talk about the game at hand

 

[Yatoo]

Fast bowling and Pakistan batting

 

[Shafi]

Why Ramiz is criticizing Azhar or other players far better than him?

 

[Amjid Javed]

Azhar needs to walk down the wicket and smack a few none of this constant blocking!

 

[world cup captain]

I always get scared when the batsman tried to play a wide ball down the leg side

You get scared with one type of ball, I get scared with any ball against our batsmen.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Terrible outfield this

 

[Strike!]

Seems like a slow outfield.

I always love watching Pakistan bowl. Didn't watch a single ball of Pakistan innings in last match

 

[#GreenRoars]

So tuk tuk is on again???

 

[#GreenRoars]

Jinx english bowlers

 

[adnan yasin]

brilliant cover drive

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Great shot azhar

 

[Zeshan547]

What a fast start? Carry on Azhar bhai, the true hier of King.

 

[Amjid Javed]

1st positive shot of the inns and goes for 4.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Hes great to watch azhar. Elegant player

 

[Amjid Javed]

Despite the one 4 AA needs to pick the gaps better, tends to find the fielders to much early on.

10/0 after 3 overs

Every single game, I think just maybe, we might start positive, but no. It's always tuk tuk. But I am used to it now.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Gifted single lol

I am permanently in 'waiting for spin' mode nowadays.

Aaah, been waiting for this since long time

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Ramiz says dot balls are an issue but never talks about it when the king of dots shehzad is batting

 

[coy0607]

Azhar Ali is such a mediocre batsmen

 

[marlonbrowndo]

What a slow outfield!

 

[Abdullah719]

The brilliant Mohammed Akram wanted us to drop Rizwan for Shehzad.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Babari looking confident today, good sign.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Both these openers can rotate strike. Good to see

 

[world cup captain]

I am permanently in 'waiting for spin' mode nowadays.

That's not good either. Any spinner on any track can topple us easily (quite some examples). So I really have doubts on our batting all around.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

What a joke

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Lucky! Azhar almost edged it onto stumps

 

[world cup captain]

Aaah, been waiting for this since long time

Last occurrence of this miracle in my memory was against India in the 2012 Asia Cup.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Lucky escape

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Azhar desperately needs his form back

 

[Yatoo]

Azhar Ali can't time the ball at all. This is pathetic.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Some good batting by Sharjeel i guess.

 

[The cricket enthusiast]

Azhar ali as an opener in odi not a good sight to watch .

 

[coy0607]

Azhar is totally lost against medium pacers.. how will he ever be a good long-term opening batsmen in ODI cricket

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Magnificient babar!!!

 

[Red Devil]

Classy shot!

 

[#GreenRoars]

Classical shot by Babari for

 

[Jabo]

Azhar looks terrible

Good shot by babar

 

[Strike!]

When was the last time our opening batsmen showed aggression against fast bowlers?

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

WTH is Azhar doing

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Good quick single

 

[Suleiman]

lol still looks like we're batting on a green top on this phatta

 

[zabalestmsm]

What a shot that was! Babar Azam looking much settled compared to Azhar Ali!
