And you're sad because Zafar wasn't selected rightly after bowling pathetically last game.
Alex hales smacked him around and Morgan reversed sweeped him for fun.

LOL! Yes! Worst **** he said was iftikhar over Yasir Shah ... Pp should have age restriction. I swear
 
Roy will look to smash when he get his hundred. Let's see what's his real potential is.
 
Interesting to see how our openers play when we have to chase 350 here!
 
Misbah should play an ODI against the Pakistani team, I bet he gets his maiden ODI 100 first try.
 
This is what I hate about the people.on this forum. As soon as we hit a tough spot in the match all the bloody pessimists come out. If you want to.give that pathetic attitude to the public then go do it somewhere else because it just bloody ruins the forum quality and ruins the experience for some sane posters.

Azhar has been no dhoni but please look at our bowlers. Out of 5, 3 bowlers have been anwar, malik and yasir.

Anwar is a poor choice, I wrote in match preview that PAK should drop Anwar for Yasir (keeping Gohar).

Malik actually plays as batting all-rounder - without him, PAK's tail starts from 8. I'll reiterate once more that PAK's ODI team selection isn't balanced. In ODI, bits & pieces all-rounders work if - those all-rounders are street smart & the Captain handling them has the clue & guts. It'll be foolish to think that Azhar Ali 'll use Malik, Iftekhar, Anwar or Yamin like MSD used Viru, Raina, Tendulkar or even YV (though in later stages he has good enough to be a regular 5th bowler).

Best combination for PAK is to go with 4 specialist bat, 2 batting all-rounder, 1 WK who makes the team on batting merit & 4 specialist bowlers, of whom couple can contribute with bat.

In UAE context (& the team picked for this Series), there is hardly any options.

But going forward, best option doesn't include Azhar. Outside Asia, it's 3 pacers + Imad/Gohar/Yasir; in Asia it's 2 pacers + 2 spinners. 4 batsmen - 3 of them are MoHa, Rizwan, Babar, my 4th choice is Umar. I know he is messing things now days, but for current PAK, dropping a player with 35+/85+ stats means WI of 80s dropping Richie Richardson or Desi Haynes. Haris & Malik makes the team as batting all-rounders.

MoHa, Babar
Haris, Umar, Malik
Rizwan, Sarfraz
Imad

In Asia - Gohar/Yasir, Wahab, Irfan
Outside Asia - Wahab, Irfan & a 3rd seemer (May be Aamir as well, but I would like to pick a right-armer, otherwise every regular bowler becomes lefti).

People have allergy on Malik's name, therefore I am not asking to make him Captain (He 'll always be my choice, as long as he is making the team on merit) - may be MoHa or Sarfraz can be made Captain & it's a must that one of Babar or Imad is made deputy (Haris doesn't give the impression of leadership & making both Captain & deputy close to 35 is PCB special, only happens in PAK).


When last time PAK's top 3 has taken the team to 194/2 in 35'3? This PAK side 'll be man-slaughtered if they take on IND in UAE on those garbage PCB farmers are producing as wickets.

I second that
 
Mediocre cricket by Pakistan.
Azhar Ali damages the team balance.
Drop azhar, sir captain, Aamer yameen im team. Open with Babar and Nouman.
Instead of anwar, get rahat ali
 
England giving away cheap wickets here but with 13 overs remaining i still think 300 is on
 
Anything over 240 will be difficult for us to chase

England should make around 280 at least

They've got a long batting line up
 
That's the fourth time Root missed out on a hundred in this series including tests.

Why Buttler ahead of Morgan?

Morgs must think that with fifteen overs left, Buttler has the potential to do more damage.

In any event he has had to come in anyway. Good double strike for PAK.

Sir captain?

Agree with this. However, i would have babar in middle. He is not capable of opening from what he has shown so far.
 
[MENTION=57576]MRSN[/MENTION] just got constipated seeing Azhar and Yasir getting a wicket. But his favorite Malik going at 7 an over :)))

Haye rayyy dukhra kisko sunayein
 
Might only have to chase 300 now with those quick 2 wickets.

Malik is part timer , cannot be relied. Problem is that players do not have fixed roles.

Also Malik is a batting all rounder as one of the poster said above. His real job is yet to come..You should pray he doesn't play a match winning cameo which he is due after couple of failures.

Its actually less than 6.

Also he got Roy out twice.

Ajju outperforms Malik. This surely means Malik's place is on the line on Haris Sohail comes in.

Malik's days are numbered :))
