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

[Lara400]

Think we might get our back sides whipped today going by the last game

 

[ASAD NAZEER]

this is revenge game for PAk

 

[Osama_B]

i sense there is poor body language on losing the toss and batting second. its like misbah feels the writing is on the wall. this is not good

 

[Amjid Javed]

YK is a good batsman and makes runs hes the pilot for the Pakistan team he fails at time though

Farhat is not consistent they should have got sharjeal khan he plays like adam glictrist and we need a batsman like him.

YK ODI return is paltry to say the least and if hes the pilot then pakistan wouldnt even take off most of the time!

 

[Pak_Power]

The pundits on sky sports have perked up all of a sudden after hearing the toss news!!!

Misbah’s head went down big time after losing the toss, expect another loss today!!

 

[Areesh]

At least toss to jeet jao misbah.

 

[Pakhtoon_Rules]

if we need our number 8 to score 40 runs, then we probably would lose the match anyway. top 6 need to bat well for us to win, not the tail

Not 40/50 runs, its just that psychological advantage...

There was no need of Cheema or could have replaced him with azam.

 

[Pakhtoon_Rules]

for god's sake losing the toss only means that the other team's captain decides whether they'll bat or field first, it doesn't decide the result. such loser talk!

Loser talk is directly proportional to Pakistan chasing ability.

 

[Amjid Javed]

i sense there is poor body language on losing the toss and batting second. its like misbah feels the writing is on the wall. this is not good

This is wear strong teams show mental toughness and get on with it and poor teams just tamely surrender again!

 

[duostyle]

Well it'll be fun to see how the English bats will handle the spin quartet. Though I seriously want to see our fast bowlers doing the damage.

 

[Down2Earth]

Loser talk is directly proportional to Pakistan chasing ability.

well if they can't chase, then they're not good enough to win. the team's chances of a win shouldn't be down to a flip of a coin. we should just forfeit and go home now

 

[Osama_B]

Am not a fan of paul allot in the commentary box

 

[Osama_B]

This is wear strong teams show mental toughness and get on with it and poor teams just tamely surrender again!

which are we?

 

[James]

Paul Allott is rubbish.

Said 270 was bare minimum in the last game. ROFL!

 

[CalculatedRisk]

Guys Asad Shafiq has looked as vulnerable in ODIs. He has not played one inning in ODIs in which he has actually stamped his authority

 

[BAADSHAH]

As the great Javed Miandad said in 1992...LOSE THE TOSS BUT WIN THE MATCH!!!

 

[imshally81]

what about pitch ????

 

[Osama_B]

if the ball zips around under lights than we need to restrict england below 200 and azhar ali might end up being a crucial inclusion in the chase

 

[CalculatedRisk]

good start by gul

 

[qamar84]

good bowlin by

 

[ASAD NAZEER]

good first over by gul

 

[Watsupdoc]

Maiden! good over!

 

[Mujtaba_Saeed]

gud start

 

[AdeelSabih]

Good first over by Umer Gul.

 

[Down2Earth]

ball zipping around now, i wonder what the excuse would have been if we won the toss and batted first.

 

[Osama_B]

good tight over.

to be honest i am not a fan of pitches that are heavily in favour of the team that wins the toss.

Such pitches should not be allowed.

 

[Watsupdoc]

cheema to bowl now

 

[Osama_B]

where is bresnan btw

 

[qamar84]

maiden over

 

[Amjid Javed]

where is bresnan btw

Still not match fit i guess from elbow injury.

 

[MuqaddarKaSikandar]

this is revenge game for PAk

First positive post of the day ... Well done !

 

[qamar84]

nice cheema will bowl with new ball

 

[Amjid Javed]

Good start from Gul, Cheema needs to follow suit here!

 

[dhump]

at least we got a good umpire in the ground.

 

[Watsupdoc]

Cheema getting some out swing.

 

[Osama_B]

poor start

 

[Down2Earth]

cheema bowled more wides than wahab already, should he be dropped too?

 

[Watsupdoc]

Crap bowling

 

[NeVerMind]

Nice to see Alam Daar instead of that joker last time....

 

[NeVerMind]

Cheema needs to get his radar right as he is getting swing...

 

[Osama_B]

this is really poor

 

[CalculatedRisk]

cheema bowling fast

 

[attock]

Salaam all, cheema bowlin bad....

 

[ASAD NAZEER]

all 7 runs are extras

 

[Amjid Javed]

*** is cheema doing!

 

[NeVerMind]

Serioulsy need to sort these wides out!

 

[Down2Earth]

cheema making wahab look like the real deal now... and he can't swing it into the left hander...

 

[dhump]

so good first over is waste in the first 2 balls :d

 

[Amjid Javed]

Oh well as per usual. we get one good over and then a **** one at other end! no bowling in partnerships or applying pressure!

 

[Watsupdoc]

Finally... FFS can't bowl straight...

 

[Areesh]

Come on :cheema

 

[akamaka]

alot of swing for cheema who cant seem to bowl within the lines :cheema

 

[Ruri]

Pakistan Fast bowling right now seems to be a waste. Play 5 spinners, England lose automatically.

 

[MuqaddarKaSikandar]

England will be out under 175 !

 

[NeVerMind]

Now cook back on strike which means he needs to adjust his line again...

 

[Down2Earth]

cheema "slanting it across", a lot of work required

 

[NeVerMind]

Better to the left hander cheema is....

 

[Blitz]

Something tells me, this will be Cheema's last over with the new ball

 

[NeVerMind]

Offering a lot of width to Cook but he cannot get it away...

 

[NeVerMind]

Something tells me, this will be Cheema's last over with the new ball

Or Rehman with KP batting

 

[Down2Earth]

poor bowling for cheema, he should swing it back into cook and bowl his middle stump out of the ground. oh wait, he's right handed so it doesn't matter. we'll discuss this when we select a left hander

 

[NeVerMind]

KP batting way out of his crease to negate the swing...

 

[Down2Earth]

gul bowling well today

 

[NeVerMind]

Gul on target from ball one...

 

[NeVerMind]

nearly got KP there...keep it tight and the wikcets will come just like the test matches...

 

[qamar84]

 

[Down2Earth]

good footwork by kp

 

[attock]

Ball keeping low......

 

[akamaka]

this seems a less than 200 pitch, ball moving around and staying low.

 

[NeVerMind]

good footwork by kp

Yes by using his feet he worked it down legside otherwise it was a decent ball...

 

[Down2Earth]

cracking shot from cook

 

[NeVerMind]

Cheema gets driven off the backfoot by cook for 4....serioulsy needs to get his line right!

 

[chui_kadoo]

Man, cant believe we lost the toss again. If England get more than 220 then its game England.

 

[Areesh]

Come on . Get a wicket boy.

 

[Down2Earth]

i'm falling asleep thanks to paul allot

 

[chui_kadoo]

why do we always lose the crucial toss when the toss matters

 

[NeVerMind]

Better line on the offstump...

 

[Eagle_Eye]

Looks like Misbah's lucky charm is running out....

Why Hafeez or Rehman not opened the bowling with Gul?

 

[chui_kadoo]

Very good start by England yet again. Looking ominus again

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pakistan giving a boundary away an over and then is it any wonder we cant apply any pressure?
