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

[Ahmed216]

He’s 50* and giving the strike away with number 10/11

Give it a rest bhai. He’s not going anywhere. He’s he one of only 2 batsmen in the side

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Wood , whooo ?

 

[msb314]

Brilliant by Rizwan

 

[Ilan Bluestone]

Blaming Rizwan here when the entire middle order had a full match is hilarious. He is the only reason we are even semi alive.

 

[Gullycricket]

Got your Answer [MENTION=2016]Rana[/MENTION]. Six against Wood

 

[Rana]

Play the last 3 overs and add 30 odd runs!

 

[t_kaay]

The match by match switching of perspectives here is quite funny.

You must be new to Pakistani cricket and its fans! We are a fickle bunch!

 

[Gullycricket]

That's guts.

 

[Mp812]

Mark Wood to Rizwan, SIX, well, well.

 

[msb314]

If we get to 160 I’ll be happy

 

[Rana]

Curran, Willey and Woakes left

Surely he can add 30 odd runs

 

[BunnyRabbit]

Rizwan should have scored 150 by now. He was behind the pandemic as well. If we remove Rizwan from the team, the USD rate will come down and might equal PKR.
Rizwan please stop ruining the world.

 

[Ilan Bluestone]

You must be new to Pakistani cricket and its fans! We are a fickle bunch!

Not new but just enjoying

 

[Gullycricket]

Na we have some ungrateful fans . That's all. Who support fixers and cheats

 

[Asif321]

Saqlain isn’t the kind of coach Pakistan need . Pakistan will never flourish under calm coach or captain . Need aggressive leaders

 

[daytrader]

That was huge!! Rizwan with 3 sixes now

 

[topspin]

Sharjeel is very strong against the short ball. I see no reason why he shouldn’t be given a chance. Our batsmen are a shambles against quick bowling especially the short stuff.

 

[Shafi]

Statpadding is all about Pak cricket these days. Sick of selfish and defensive approach. Gives no hope for future. Which direction are we heading? Tournaments are not won by stats but ability to outbat and outbowl oppositions.

As if others are playing even run a bowl innings. If Rizwan fail we will not even score 50 runs in T20 matches.

 

[Gullycricket]

Yes Rizwan caused the war too. Inflation also

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Saqlain isn’t the kind of coach Pakistan need . Pakistan will never flourish under calm coach or captain . Need aggressive leaders

Micky was the best we had in recent past.

 

[t_kaay]

Rizwan should have scored 150 by now. He was behind the pandemic as well. If we remove Rizwan from the team, the USD rate will come down and might equal PKR.
Rizwan please stop ruining the world.

Don't forget that pesky Babar bloke!

 

[Bilal7]

Rizwan with another crap fifty haha this is misbah replica all over

Another clown who found his way onto PP.

 

[TeymurBlake]

This is exactly the kick up the backside this team needed.

 

[Ahmed216]

Rizwan is phenomenal. Period

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Who called this Wasim jnr an allrounder ?

 

[Ilan Bluestone]

170 was on the cards. Nawaz and Shadab really poor.

 

[msb314]

Micky was the best we had in recent past.

Under Mickey we bombed the 2018 Asia Cup and the 2019 WC

 

[TeamPak95]

Rizwan 63 off 45, literally dragging the team. But yeah, let’s drop him. Complete bone-headed idiots on this forum smh.

 

[TeymurBlake]

Rizwan gone.

Poor delivery, poor shot.

 

[Rana]

63 off 8 overs)

And you do that after being at the crease for that long

 

[Shafi]

Whatever fans think but Rizwan is more dedicated and responsible player than over-hyped Babar for sure.

 

[Gullycricket]

But he built the core of this team

 

[Bilal7]

Blaming Rizwan here when the entire middle order had a full match is hilarious. He is the only reason we are even semi alive.

Anyone criticizing Rizwan needs to be dismissed as an ignorant troll.

 

[topspin]

Can’t even hit a leg stump full toss. Absolute rubbish.

 

[Rana]

Rizwan 63 off 45, literally dragging the team. But yeah, let’s drop him. Complete bone-headed idiots on this forum smh.

Our team has regressed huuuuugly since his inclusion why can’t you people see it?

 

[Mp812]

Rizwan c Adil Rashid b Sam Curran 63(46) [4s-2 6s-3]

 

[Gullycricket]

Rizwan is Mike Hussey of this team

 

[t_kaay]

As usual, the footnote on the match report will say "Pakistan were about 25-30 runs short"........if only the middle order could have done what they are paid for.

 

[BunnyRabbit]

Don't forget that pesky Babar bloke!

Rizwan is the biggest problem in the world. Babar comes second.
Rizwan is the root cause of global warming as well.

 

[msb314]

Rizwan played a good innings but that dismissal was criminal..

 

[Bilal7]

Good innings. Need 140 to have a chance here.

 

[Rana]

Dropped on 9

Allowed to statpad again by Hales

 

[daytrader]

Come on guys, play out the overs. Get 150

 

[DRsohail]

About time!

Our team has regressed huuuuugly since his inclusion why can’t you people see it?

Rizwan told them to regressz what is this nonsense.

 

[TeamPak95]

Rizwan gone.

Poor delivery, poor shot.

Should’ve dispatched that, great innings though considering the circumstances.

 

[Gullycricket]

How. India was beaten twice, Semis were reached, Final of Asia Cup. Care to elaborate what we did when Sharjeel was opener. Oh ya. He got out to Suresh Raina of all people in Kolkata

 

[ezhil]

Rizwan out to his favourite score yet again 60s in 45 balls

 

[daytrader]

Dropped on 9

Allowed to statpad again by Hales

Well you can't blame his intent, at least he goes for it. And didn't you say drops are part of the game when Sharjeel made his NT20 century?

 

[Rana]

We destroyed a no.1 T20 team under Mickey to keep Rizwan happy

 

[NeVerMind]

It was Riz's idea to cut taxes for the rich, not Kasi so he's to blame for the English economy crash too!

 

[Rana]

Rizwan out to his favourite score yet again 60s in 45 balls

Ceiling

 

[Justcrazy]

I wonder how this middle order will bat on Australian pitches

 

[Ahmed216]

Rizwan and Babar should always look to bat long. To hell with SR and all. The team is full of clowns

 

[Rana]

England won’t fancy 160 again

 

[NeVerMind]

Well you can't blame his intent, at least he goes for it. And didn't you say drops are part of the game when Sharjeel made his NT20 century?

Sharjeel needs 3 drops per innings to make a meaningful score...

 

[Gullycricket]

Rizwan happiness above everything. Let's make him the Captain.

 

[Rana]

Rizwan and Babar should always look to bat long. To hell with SR and all. The team is full of clowns

Lol hahahaahahahha

Is that Misbah ul Haq!

 

[cricenjoyer]

We destroyed a no.1 T20 team under Mickey to keep Rizwan happy

Just like Rizzy’s position on the ICC rankings inflated so was Mickey’s T20 team

 

[TeamPak95]

Our team has regressed huuuuugly since his inclusion why can’t you people see it?

Get rid of Rizwan and what do you think is going to happen? 180 plus scores all over the place? And with who? Prior to Rizwan, who exactly was lighting it up opening the batting in t20s for Pakistan?

 

[Justcrazy]

139 , Pakistan has 9 balls left , can they utilize all the balls

 

[Mainul]

Some fans are really confused... If babar and rizwan gives good start then they complaint about run rate... Now if they out when try to play aggressive and then the middle order exposed badly they start complaining about this... ��

These fans should admit today or tomorrow that Pakistani batting line up is solely a 2 men army. Whenever these 2 play a long innings, Pakistan have a realistic chance to win. These 2 are top class, world class . Others are club level batsmen, still they are in this side because Pakistan has no other alternatives. No real talent coming up. Everyone was highly praiseworthy of Haider Ali. But now we have seen after quite a few innings that he bats like number 10. Anyone can argue for Said Shakeel, Usman Salauddin, Amer Yamin .... But my question is do they really possess real class or just they are home track bulley. Probably we shall never know as Pakistani selectors usually invest on a batsman of repeated failures.

 

[msb314]

We destroyed a no.1 T20 team under Mickey to keep Rizwan happy

Rubbish.

Rizwan was promoted as an opener because Fakhar was struggling (and he still continues to struggle despite any position he bats in..)

 

[TeymurBlake]

Haris

What a shot.

 

[NeVerMind]

Rauf better than our so called middle order!

 

[Rana]

Rauf our world class T20 player

 

[imshally81]

Sixxx

 

[imshally81]

Out....

 

[Rana]

Runs on the board

Our bowlers will have to try and dig us out of a hole again!

 

[Justcrazy]

SIXXXX

Rauf gets that away

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Saqlain isn’t the kind of coach Pakistan need . Pakistan will never flourish under calm coach or captain . Need aggressive leaders

Aggressive leaders cant teach them how to run between wickets or how to play short ball..

They need to practice these in their net sessions.. wondering do they even practice for short balls during their net session.. They are getting peppered with short balls here is pakistan , imagine this duds in Australia lol

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

145 is OK. Fighting total if pitch grips.

 

[Ahmed216]

Lol hahahaahahahha

Is that Misbah ul Haq!

Deluded fans and some foolish ex cricketers won’t understand.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan should have used all the balls , they would have got 150 plus , this may haunt them when they bowl

 

[MRSN]

It was Riz's idea to cut taxes for the rich, not Kasi so he's to blame for the English economy crash too!

Typical Misbah type defence on display. Have you seen the game from ball 1. Have you seen how Rizwan was tuk tukking when he needed to get it going. When your team is behind the required rate then one of them has to get it going. It's a mere 120 balls innings not 300. If others also start to play defensive like him then I'm sure Pak won't even score 130.

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

Alarming stats... in last 11 t20s played in 30 days ... we have lost all wickets or 9 wickets 5 times now. Sri Lanka bowled us out twice. India bowled us out once. Afghanistan came close. And today as well. But Again according to our coaches its Qudrat ka Nizam

 

[TeamPak95]

Rauf six and out. 145 better than I’d thought it be, but most probably not enough. Need a Herculean effort from the bowlers.

 

[daytrader]

Criminal to not play a whole over in T20s

 

[t_kaay]

145 is OK. Fighting total if pitch grips.

I like your confidence but unfortunately I feel its 20 odd short. In other words, a decent over by a middle order batsmen is all we needed.........

 

[IMMY69]

Rizwan is just Awsome

Rana must be related to another Keeper/Batsmen as all logic seems to go out of the window when it comes to Rizwan.

 

[James]

The batting in this match has been absolutely terrible, barely Sunday club standard.
