Pakistan v England | 6th T20I | GSL | 30 September 2022 | Pre-game Discussion

[MenInG]

So Pakistan have 2 games on the trot now - Do we change or go with the same combo?

 

[Bilal7]

Have to rest Rauf and Rizwan.

 

[Bilal7]

1) Babar
2) Shan
3) Iftikhar
4) Shadab
5) Haider
6) Asif
7) Haris (wk)
8) Jamal
9) Wasim
10) Naseem
11) the new spinner

 

[asadee]

Naseem ruled out of series

 

[boomboom6]

Shan should be dropped, he's just not good enough and not needed for this team. Bring Khushdil back.

Babar, Rizwan, Haider, Iftikhar, Khushdil, Asif, Nawaz, Shadab, Jamal, Wasim Jr., Rauf

 

[mon858]

Rest Rizwan and Rauf. Cannot risk getting them injured before world cup. Haris comes in for Rizwan. For Rauf we can play Hasnain or Dahani.

 

[Nasty Naz]

For the next match, I wouldn't mind if one or both of Dahani/Hasnain came into the side. Pakistan does need to decide who will be carried or who will go the reserves. It's not quite clear yet.

As for the batting order, Haider Ali looks lost & helpless and I am not sure he is a player worth having on the squad at all now. Better off going to domestic and working on his game to be honest.

I think you just bring back Fakhar and go with him at this point (for the WC).

 

[ritzy_123]

I think Babar's game is getting affected due to captaincy pressure..

Shadab should be the captain of the team plus Rizwan and Haris Rauf badly needs a break..!!

 

[PakPremi]

The only change I would make is play Haris as a batsman over Haider Ali. Iftikhar really needs to improve his batting or he should be out of the world cup squad,his bowling would not be needed in Australia. Shan gets another chance to see if he can play faster against international bowling.

 

[asadee]

If Rizwan is rested who the hell will score the runs???

 

[Rana]

If Rizwan is rested who the hell will score the runs???

We will have to wait and see

 

[NeVerMind]

If Rizwan is rested who the hell will score the runs???

Asif Ali! He will open and we will have 120 runs in the Powerplay alone! Woods will retire immediately post game after the painty he is given! Mo's beard hair will fall out after witnessing such magnificent carnage, etc.

On a serious note, for Riz's sake, he needs a rest...Time for Shaan and Babar to open the innings and see what they can do....

 

[hitthestump]

If Rizwan is rested who the hell will score the runs???

It's Babar or bust. But there's no doubt Rizwan and Rauf need a rest and should come back in the decider if neccessary.

It's good for the series that we have a decider anyway, as Pakistan have basically no chance without those two.

 

[sweep_shot]

Pakistan have the momentum. They should win it and clinch the series.

 

[MenInG]

Some funny stuff

==

Following the game, Shadab Khan attended the press conference for the Pakistan side as he discussed over a length of subjects concerning the game. Seeing Moeen waiting for his turn at the presser, Shadab also revealed his chat with the England all-rounder during the match.

“Meri Moeen bhai se baat ho rahi thi. Maine kaha mujhe pitch toh achha lag raha hai lekin I don't know score kyun nahi ho raha. Dew factor bhi kaafi zyada tha, toh score hona chahiye tha. Pitch kaafi achha tha batting ke liye, but score nahi hua. (I was talking to Moeen bhai. I told him pitch looked good for batting but I don't know why we weren't able to score. There was a lot of dew on the ground as well, so there should've been a high score. Pitch was good for batting.),” Shadab said in the press conference.

As the announcer said, “Moeen bhai is here. Thank you so much everyone,” Shadab made a rather hilarious remark. He said, “Moeen bhai maine aapko dekhke bola tha (I said this after seeing you, Moeen bhai),” referring to his answer about his chat with the English all-rounder.

Moeen passed a chuckle as he walked up to the platform for the presser, and shook Shadab's hand along the way.

[Coolcapri]

Rest Rauf & Rizwan.

 

[Coolcapri]

I heard Naseem is hospitalized, Who should replace Rauf than?, As Dhani & Hasnain both been expensive.

 

[Marooned]

I heard Naseem is hospitalized, Who should replace Rauf than?, As Dhani & Hasnain both been expensive.

Who cares? Play them both. It's not a WC final.

 

[Marooned]

Play Jamal as 4th seamer.

Play Dahani and Hasnain both.

We can drop a batsmen/Nawaz.

 

[Kianig89]

Haider Ali might be axed he is the weakest link in the side

 

[ZafarKhan2022]

If Rizwan is rested who the hell will score the runs???

Some of the other batsmen included in the playing XI and getting cheques from the PCB?

 

[Fenrir]

Rest Rauf and Rizwan.Play Hasnain,Dahani,Jamal and Waseem jnr.It will not be the end of the world if Pakistan loses the series.What is important is to identify mistakes and not repeat them in ICC tournaments.

 

[James]

Come on England, take it to a decider.

 

[KingOfPakBreakfast]

Come on England, take it to a decider.

I think we’ll get Jos in this game. He can leave the keeping to Salt to manage his return

 

[MenInG]

New ball to Mohammad Nawaz experiment should end for the World Cup.
