Pakistan v England | 5th T20I | GSL | 28 September 2022 |Pakistan innings

Iftikhar always gets decent starts, looks set to launch and then gets out.

It would be nice once in a while if someone from the middle order could stop a collapse and have a great match like we often see from other teams.
 
Yes

Guys like you are happy and will tell us he is better than everyone
Well if he is the only who makes runs dor the bowlera to bowl with,and all otyer wonde4ful stroke makes keep making equally or even slower 20s then I know who I would prefer .
 
Pakistan continue stagnating from the non-Rizwan end

Rizwan struggling from his own end

He has been there for long enough to take off the pressure and not let the others have to deal with it!
 
This is not even one dimensional batting... This is non batting from the other end!
 
Asif Ali is scared of yorkers since he was late on that one and missed it.
 
Wood owns Pakistan, they have no clue against him. Lucky England only play him sporadically otherwise it would be a 7-0 humiliation. This game is over.
 
Those jokers who say Babar and Rizwan wastes too many balls should realize now why they try to bat deep these useless hacks can't do any thing unless they come in last 5 overs.
 
So another super saviour who plays at h8gh strike rate departs. Truth is without Rizwan runs Pak will always have less than 100 in the total.

This is embarrassing.

He's literally manhandliing our batters.
 
Sitting ducks against express pace and good fast bowling, it will be a bloodbath in Australia :))
 
They should've saved Asif. Would've been a good time to promote Nawaz or Shadab
 
Rizwan struggling from his own end

He has been there for long enough to take off the pressure and not let the others have to deal with it!

Also Rizwan should solve Pakistan economic crisis and while he is there he should also provide flood relief aid. The
 
Brainless batting against Wood. You have to show some respect to the opposition's best bowler and at least try not to give wickets to him.
 
LOL these kittens are already scared and on backfoot and keep backing away and showing their stumps.
 
Asif is selfless. He doesn't care about his wicket and goes for boundaries from ball one. I don't care how many times he fails, he should be in the team because no one can hit sixes like he can.
 
Moeen has been fantastic in the field today. Great captaincy and great fielding there.
 
Damn man is this how poorly we’re playing in a series decider. Absolutely rubbish intent. These guys can’t even hit boundaries to relieve some pressure. And they’re playing at home. It’s painful to watch. Asif exposing his stumps and trying to hit a Yorker over long on at this stage just sums it up. They’re just not good enough. Send them all to play county cricket in England and learn their trade. Despicable….. nawaz is a takkan for that run out. Sums it up
 
We need professional coaches and trainers not the ones who blame Nizam for their failures.

This team looks like a gully cricket team.
 
Some people don't understand cricket. What happened to respecting the opposition best bowler and targetting weaker links. Even Kohli, Rohit do it. But it's a crime if Rizwan does it

It's not a series decider, lol.

So did Afridi but Asif makes Afridi look like Einstein of batting!
 
Seriously all these guys are terrified of mark wood on this pitch.
I would love to see him against Pakistan in Australia.LOL.

True that!

Just see out wood if you can't play him.
 
Clown shoes from Pakistan. And if there actually is Rizwan criticism here in this game then that is even bigger clown shoes.
 
Ok guys i can give my verdict here, let’s hope Pakistan beats India & Bangladesh in upcoming T20 world cup. That is it. They can come home afterwards with head held high.

It is clear this team can not play pace and bounce. Aussies, Kiwiz & English + Proteas and West indies will notice this weakness.
 
Shadab is easily our best MO batsman.

In addition to being our best spinner obviously.
 
He is the problem!! He always has been!

Rizwan has scored 44 out of Pakistan's 93. He's also the best keeper in Pakistan.

Rizwan is the best T20 player in the world.
 
I'm glad to see wickets tumbling most the middle order is useless that wastes time anyway. Wanna see the new guy and Shadab launching. At least they'll have enough time in the middle.
 
This game pretty much proves 2 points:

The game strategy that Pakistan so often get abuse for is the only one that works for them: Babar and Rizwan have no choice but to play safely till the 13th or 14th over as the middle order can't bat more than 6 overs combined.

The other point is that our middle order is so fragile we been someone like Shoaib Malik in there just to rebuild things when we collapse like today.
