Pakistan Vs England | 2nd ODI | Abu Dhabi | Pakistan Innings

Pathetic from Pakistan to say the least.

Anyways, the real test with the bat now comes to fore.

Maybe Finn will get injured...

I don't see us winning this tbh.

 

[madaboutcricket]

yes. its very much chasable. pitch will be little quicker in the evening. ball should come onto the bat better. all they have to do it, play out first few overs without losing wickets. then on, maintain 4 or 4.5 run rate and keep wickets in hands.

 

[Osama_B]

no. sorry game is already over

 

[Maher96]

No 174 all out.

We will never win while chasing.

 

[MuqaddarKaSikandar]

One word ..... DONE

 

[Boi]

As long as Azhar Ali gets a 50+ score we shall not lose.

 

[MuqaddarKaSikandar]

I am betting on pakistan (not with money .... with hope )

 

[dhump]

any good batting team should chase this total easily on this wicket. You never know about Pakistan.

 

[aby10rulz]

 

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

Don't see us getting more than 200 because generally were not good at chasing to add to that under lights.

BUT we do have the ability and depth, we need to get a solid start.

 

[Zamee]

lol We better cross 130 in this match. This will be satisfactory enough

 

[farsiddiqui]

What's the over-under on Farhat today?

I say 22. And I take under.

 

[Asif321]

farhat

 

[kungfu90]

Possible. Openers needs to see through the new ball. You have Umar , Afridi there in lower order also rehman is a better batsman than shoaib Malik

 

[K.O]

Shut up osama and w8in_4_0402's Avatarw8in_4_0402 game is not over until it over and pakistan can win this

 

[Pakhtoon_Rules]

As long as Azhar Ali gets a 50+ score we shall not lose.

Its not a test match :thumbdown:

 

[K.O]

Possible. Openers needs to see through the new ball. You have Umar , Afridi there in lower order also rehman is a better batsman than shoaib Malik

of coarse rehman is better batsman than Malik but iam better out of the two probably you guy as well

 

[aby10rulz]

Farthead at 11, Umar at 3, and Afridi at 5.
We mayyyyy have a chance

 

[deviously~fading~away]

Popcorns ready. Pepsi ready. Let the collapse begin!

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Bowlers did well to restrict ENG to 250 in the death ovrs. Just see off the new ball 251 is not a big target.

UA will be the key.

 

[deviously~fading~away]

Mafi depth today.

 

[Lara400]

Send Afridi to open, a quick fire 15-20 to calm the nerves will suffice. He will never win a game chasing so why not!!!!

That quick 20 is more potent at the top rather than later.

 

[violet_may]

^^
Maybe not a big target for Indians. Yeh Pakistan ki batting hai bhai sahab...

 

[cric]

Should afridi or U akmal bat in top order today?

I think either afridi or akmal should bat higher in this slow pitch to make most of the two new balls. quick 50 60 from one of them at top will make big difference in this slow pitch.

 

[Hash]

This thread is quite funny

 

[Desi_Joker]

Misbah-ul-Haq is captain, MHK is coach... not happening.

 

[AnotherIndian]

250 is too much for Pak to score.

I will be surprised if Pak can manage over 220 honestly.

Cook is in unbelievable form. Not many people would last long against the bowling of Ajmal/Rehman in UAE. Great player. Has all the makings of becoming a legend soon.

Pak needs a 100 from one of its main players to chase it down. Has any Pak player scored a 100 in an ODI in the recent past?

 

[ahamedirshad123]

Kakmal saved Pakistan last time.

Australia 250/4 at same venue
Kamran scored 116*

[Boi]

Definitely. No point wasting our best ODI batsmen at #6 and #7, especially when they come in when the likes of Misbah and co. have eaten up half of the innings for a solid 98/4.

 

[Lara400]

Oh dear postmortems have started already, Its ok we have Azhar today

 

[AbdulrazzaqFan]

definitely... play aggressive or die trying! sick of the bloody tuk tukathon!

 

[iZeeshan]

Don't see it happening with YK and Misbah stuck together at 4 and 5

 

[Amjid Javed]

We have a chance of we get off to a solid start! Sadly with Farhat/YK in our top 4 that looks a tough task.

Time for our lulloo batsmen to show some balls and score some runs in tough situations for once in a chase!

 

[AnotherIndian]

Send in Afridi to open.

The guy can destroy Finn and dent his confidence if he gets going. As some one mentioned, a quick fire 50 from Afridi means, England will become defensive and the singles will come easily.

Finn is the danger man again. is the solution for him.

 

[farsiddiqui]

Wonder if Misbah will go for the win or try to get a draw....

 

[AnotherIndian]

I have mentione Bopara who is a rubbish batsman. I am surprised he is playing well and scored 50's in both the ODI's. I don't remember Bopara playing well against India.

 

[VolcanicAsh]

The game is done is dusted, that is why a new approach should be taken by the PCB. With this group on players this team will never get far in ODI's.

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

B positive, it's a game anything can happen.

 

[Boi]

Wonder if Misbah will go for the win or try to get a draw....

[Hash]

Maybe he will prefer waiting until the required rate is 15 runs per over before trying to win

Bopara never plays well against anyone but against us his average shoots up to 50.

And Pak have the ability of making ppl look like they'll soon become legends. How many centuries did Cook have to his name in odi's before these 2 vs Pak???

 

[JellyBro]

don't worry, Finn is about to get professored

 

[Square Drive]

Well I'd say we have 40% chance of winning. If Hafeez can provide solid start, and fart can even see out the opening overs, then we can go slowly, knowing Lala and Umar are still to come. We must keep wickets in hand. Even if we need 80 from 48 in the end with about 6 wickets, our batsmen will have the license to slog.

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Bowlers did well to restrict ENG to 250 in the death ovrs. Just see off the new ball 251 is not a big target.

UA will be the key.

Problem is we have two new balls to see off now.

 

[aby10rulz]

Atleast we don't have Malik to worry about anymore. England will be disappointed. )

 

[hamzie]

how much longer?

 

[musaarthali]

Finn will be sluaghtered today

Every one expects Finn to run thru pakistan batting line up but i think he will be taken to cleaners

wait n watch

 

[greekscavenger]

bold.

arrogant.

typical.

 

[SAPakFan]

Our current problem is that we don't have an explosive in-form opener as Hafeez isn't performing. I'd prefer Imran Nazir,Kamran, Jamshed, Shazaib or Ahmed Shezaad if they're not going to let Afridi and Umar bat higher up the order. The rrr is too high & they've lost too many wickets by the time these 2 come to the crease.
I just hope Pak alter the batting line-up abit today depending on the situation they're in

 

[deviously~fading~away]

Atleast we don't have Malik to worry about anymore. England will be disappointed. )

Yes instead we have Rehman coming out to bat :younis

 

[Phool]

If our batsman play sensibly and play every ball on merit, we can easily win this much unless if England bowlers ball really well ofcourse. Hafeez, younus, Misbah, Umar, Afridi any of them can click.

 

[VolcanicAsh]

He is Indian Greeks, by the way its seems like you are describing yourself.

 

[attock]

I dont expect Pakistan to win

 

[IAJ]

Every one expects Finn to run thru pakistan batting line up but i think he will be taken to cleaners

wait n watch

He is a good bowler but I hope to see him go for over 6 an over.

 

[greekscavenger]

Cool.

I'm bold for suggesting that 9/11 wasn't an inside job, arrogant aswell apparently.

Yeah, alright then. If you say so.

 

[Down2Earth]

jinx thread, he'll probably pick up 5 wickets now

 

[VolcanicAsh]

I could careless about 911, you predictions before the test series LOL

 

[iRfaN_LA]

I dont expect Pakistan to win

stay positive bro, we can do it iA.

 

[A.M.]

single

 

[A.M.]

nice shot for no run

 

[attock]

Pakistan will have to be aggressive

 

[A.M.]

Farhat should play aggressively as his place is safe for million years he should attack from the word go

 

[whyamir]

WTHHH why is Farhat in the squad again?? Seriously.. when is this dbag gonna be dropped?

 

[A.M.]

2 of the first over

 

[Sledger]

Farhat looks in good form, hit the ball twice in that over!

 

[Asif321]

farhat middling the ball hmmmm

 

[DOOSRA95]

Farthart the field finding specialist!

 

[Love Pakistan]

Yeah Farhat looking aggresive! Good! Better be aggresive than being an ullu da patha!

 

[deviously~fading~away]

Bradman off the mark :Farhat

 

[A.M.]

 

[VolcanicAsh]

Imran Farhat to score a blistering 50, I called it.

 

[DOOSRA95]

SOB's like Farthart make me really worked up!

 

[Phool]

Pathetic from Pakistan to say the least.

Anyways, the real test with the bat now comes to fore.

Maybe Finn will get injured...

I don't see us winning this tbh.

no. sorry game is already over

Team abhi haari nahin aur ap log pehle hi haar gai?

 

[A.M.]

what a straight bat by

 

[deviously~fading~away]

So far the ball is not doing much

 

[ekpakistani]

I think Pakistan will win this match with ease .. insha'Allah

 

[DOOSRA95]

Farthart left the ball exaggeratedly wow making a case for his usel dismissal just out side off stump.

 

[Love Pakistan]

Anderson has a very good record against our luloos!
