What's new

Pakistan v England | 4th T20I | NSK | 25 September 2022 | Pakistan innings

I have the impression that Babar is trying to ensure that these mugs get exposed to fullest that they have no choice but to go for Malik his buddy to have a last go of his career at the WT20

In Australia, Malik would be equivalent to what Chacha and KS is

I do not think Malik is his friend as such or he would had been in Asia cup where Malik had chance to score runs or even after that in this current series. Babar is just too loyal to players in his squad especially those he has had for long time now,hut for sure the more tgese KIA trio play the more they will be exposed.
 
In my opinion Khushdil and ifti selected to prove it, or else they will be replaced after this series.

No they wont be, they are there on quota and will be travelling to Australia, one good game will keep them in.. And im sure they can manage one good 30 odd to get things going..
 
England seems to think that no need to waste time and energy to beat this minnow 11, let them bat and try hard to make 150 and will finish quickly go home and rest..

will save 200s for India, Australia and Nzl like teams..

But but but but we are a no.1 team!
 
Yassss, no Mark Wood! Already got a chance in this game.
 
Mark Wood rested.

Bowled superbly in the 3rd T20I but his return is being managed after two elbow surgeries.

That's what professional teams do. PCB is controlled by unprofessional individuals who have zero acumen of international cricket. I would have rested Rauf, Rizwan and Iftikhar in this series to chance to Wasim, Haris and Jamal.

They actually prefer to know what they must chase. They have no clue how to set a total

Well they couldn't do that in the final against the Lankans or in the last match against England...

God, I miss the days when the likes of Afridi, Razzaq and Azhar used to bail out our normally below par total with big lofty blows towards the end (and they didn't need to be in for long).

True…Good teams build for future and we are the only team looks to protect failure cricketers career.

Not getting the point entirely... Aim for Malik is to play WT20 and retire if he wants to lol...

If Malik got his chance before WT20 and fails ,then that would be curtains for him.. But this way as it happens Malik's case and chances for playing WT20 grows higher and higher..]]

Inevitably he will be selected to strengthen middle order in WT20.... BABAR and MALIK playing smart..
 
Haris, Jamal, Abrar should get the remaining games. We have wasted this series already.

What do Ifti and Khushdil have to do for the youngsters to get their chance? They could have had 3-4 games of rope but we're not budging from the TTF's for some reason.

The only thing i can think of that is that they've been watched in the nets and Yousuf thinks they are not ready yet.
 
Uhh, what happened to resting players & playing the bench? Rizwan still has zero rest. It was the perfect opportunity to do so on a back to back match but nope.

Pakistan will need to get 200+ batting first so it will be interesting to see the level of intent they bat with.

A shame we get to see Usman Qadir continue bowling.
 
Who is the sky sports correspondent with Ian Ward?

Heard his voice, didn't recognise it.

I hope Babar scores today, otherwise he will be under pressure again for rest of the games.
 
One bad game and dahani is out the playing 11 whilst favourites keep being picked despite no performance. Then again this is all over Pakistan and our cricket team is just a reflection. Disappointing.
 
Cmon, try and hit everything out of park, need 200+ here.
 
The trend seems to be Rizwan hogging the strike early while Babar plays in
 
Why they r not giving rest to Haris Rouf. Currently best bowler in Pakistan. What kind of team management is this. Top 3 are good players but all play in the same manner.
 
Same formula as the 2nd match... Riz the enforcer in the beginning while Babar finds his feet...
 
Embarrassment of riches for England when it comes to their back up bowling or batting....
 
This is not good barring man!

Cam Green took 17 alone against Bumrah in the 3rd over off the powerplay today
 
How is Iftikhar batting at 4 for Pak.

He wouldn't get into any of the top team squads let alone eleven
 
Olly Stone is a really good bowler.

I always assumed he was a red ball bowler but looks to have improved his game to be earning a T20I career.
 
lol bouncers our bowlers bowl get absolutely smashed.

Bouncers from oppositions, batters are ducking, getting out and having zero clue how to play it.

Same old start from Pakistan in a powerplay.
 
These are not hard tracks

And these are not big boundaries

And these games mean nothing

Why can’t they just try!
 
Bazid for me has improved. It's like he found a personality from somewhere.

Bazid has a streak of dry humour which was evident when Pak came to England during co vid and was on the Sky podcast, cracking jokes with the native English speakers... The difference between the like sof Bazid and Wasim /Waqas is the the former actually had a proper education in the English langague while the latter picked it up during their cricket career which is why they get certain things wrong...
 
Dawson Freebie against a guy who doesn’t want to attack

Poor bowling
 
Same old boring cricket frm Pakistan. They need to forget being scared and just go for it like Englands batsmen have been doing.
 
Rana was threatening Rizwan with Topley as if he has not faced and scored against bowlers of his class

Precisely.
 
Rizwan has taken the criticism on board and has tried to improve
 
Chalo, they can't hit over the top often, but can do other stuff.

Babar takes his time to acknowledge the conditions which then puts the impotence on Rizwan to start aggressively.

Sharjeel-Babar partnership was instrumental to Karachi Kings success before last season.

Rizwan basically has to channel his inner Sharjeel.
