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

[qaiser]

Trade mark reverse sweep coming soon from Morgan

 

[Sledger]

Bring back Kamran. )

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

there u go

 

[Watsupdoc]

Lol Morgan with his reverse sweep.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Morgan looks lost BUT Umar Akmal is equally lost

 

[NeVerMind]

Morgan looking all at sea against Afridi1

 

[Watsupdoc]

off the mark finally

 

[Fawad_Bhai]

Morgan 1(7)

 

[sarmadsl]

Great over

 

[Hash]

Why do we allow Ravinder Singh Bopara to look like Sir Donald George Bradman?

He has an ODI batting average of 29.81 (not including this innings) and against Pakistan that average shoots up to 48.66 (not including this innings). That is double the average he has against Australia.

Even his List A average is only 37.89!

All hail Sir Ravinder Bopara.

 

[qaiser]

u.akmal is excellent but "can't blame him"

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

Bring back Kamran. )

no thanks, this is a ploy to get his bro back in. We cant have two akmals in the same team.

 

[Lethalweapon]

Edged for four. Misbah strictly anti-slips. )

You don't have slips when opposition is 199/3 .Slips for new batsman (Morgan)fair enough.

 

[Sledger]

Just need a good death spell from Gul and the target will be chasable.

 

[Osama_B]

cheema has 4 overs use him ffs!

why do they keep going on about gul. he is rubbish!

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Good over, 4 runs of it.

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

These akmals are useless, You get to know it slowly and slowly

 

[Love Pakistan]

If we give them not more than 35 runs in last 7 overs, that will be good!

 

[Sledger]

You don't have slips when opposition is 199/3 .Slips for new batsman (Morgan)fair enough.

You always have a slip for bowlers who can move the ball both ways, and Misbah usually does.

As soon as I saw the XI, it was apparent what the strategy for this game was. Looks like there was a team meeting called just to contain runs - it appears as if Pakistan are very worried about their batting.

 

[MC]

England's about to lose wickets like crazy. Watch.

 

[Osama_B]

gul will bowl length and cost us 30 more runs

 

[NeVerMind]

Keep morgan on strike!

 

[deviously~fading~away]

Morgan slowing England down, just what Pakistan need.

 

[Asif321]

200 agaya .......

 

[NeVerMind]

These akmals are useless, You get to know it slowly and slowly

Seriously if Umar starts grabbing his back when batting, i will be happy he never plays!

 

[sarmadsl]

 

[AbdulrazzaqFan]

Misbah is useless in LOI cricket. Shouldn't be in the side at all. Pathetic captaincy throughout

 

[iRfaN_LA]

We should stick to spin, hafeez has overs left too.

 

[Sledger]

Very good death bowling by Saeed.

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

 

[Fawad_Bhai]

Eoin (Azhar Ali) Morgan Playing a gem of an innings

 

[deviously~fading~away]

If I was Misbah, I would keep Afridi last over for 47th over

 

[Lethalweapon]

Even his List A average is only 37.89!

All hail Sir Ravinder Bopara.

Bopara and Patel are better players of spin. he failed in India because of tighter fields and lack of singles. did get couple of scores though.

 

[Watsupdoc]

wth is Ajmal doing?

 

[Sledger]

2 wides now.

 

[NeVerMind]

Ajmal bowling wides now!

 

[JibranAnsari]

When bopara starts scoring against you , then there is some serious problem with the bowling and field setting.

lol pretty much.

 

[iRfaN_LA]

2 wides

 

[sarmadsl]

What happened to umar last game

 

[Watsupdoc]

10 wides bowl in the innings, most of them thanks to :cheema

 

[Fawad_Bhai]

If I was Misbah, I would keep Afridi last over for 47th over

If you were misbah,,..








nuff said

 

[NeVerMind]

6 0vers left -209 for four...

 

[Sledger]

209/3 - last 6.

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

Seriously if Umar starts grabbing his back when batting, i will be happy he never plays!

and he missed again

 

[Love Pakistan]

209-3 after 44

Just keep them below 235!

 

[Watsupdoc]

Bring Adnan in for next match!

 

[NeVerMind]

how did that miss the stumps?

 

[Warfare]

Umar

I guess we still want him to keep!

 

[IAJ]

Two extra runs in that Ajmal over. Poor stuff

 

[Sledger]

When bopara starts scoring against you , then there is some serious problem with the bowling and field setting.

100% for accuracy.

 

[JibranAnsari]

can't afford to give more than 50 in last 6.

 

[lilFlip]

Anything over 230 Pak ain't chasing.

Mohammad Hafeez( he is due a 50), Imran Farhat (lame), Azhar Ali (50 at SR of 50), Younis Khan(expect a 23~30 at SR of 80), Misbah-ul-Haq*(a fighting 50), Shahid Afridi(walking wicket), Umar Akmal†(history has taught us never rely on akmals)..... so expect PAK all out 210

 

[qaiser]

akmal has made a rule not to catch anything from Afridi.

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

Check their running between the wicket

 

[Osama_B]

good spell from afridi. was brought on too late while gul carried on getting overs.

 

[Munna]

Why does umar keeps partitioning his hands wide open and not try to grab the ball with his palms rather?

 

[Sledger]

Chipped for one.

 

[Warfare]

Only in Pakistan would you force someone to keep - who was never a keeper in the first place.

Only in Pakistan...

 

[IAJ]

Afridi under lights would have been totally unplayable.

 

[Fawad_Bhai]

Only in Pakistan would you force someone to keep - who was never a keeper in the first place.

Only in Pakistan...

Rahul Dravid comes to mind

 

[qaiser]

all catches and a zero from Sarfaraz is much better than 2 drops and a 20 from umar Akmal

 

[Sledger]

Cheema on.

 

[Watsupdoc]

Good 10 overs by Afridi!

Please no Gul...

Bring Cheema on or even Hafeez...

 

[Osama_B]

misbah finally sees sense. cheema on

 

[dhump]

No way we can go with Umer Akmal as the keeping solution on ODIs, really this will cost the match Cook was dropped on 28. Really no point in playing extra batsman when your missed chance cost you more then half of your team.

 

[Iffitheking]

some 6s and 4s times... and may be couple of wickets.. fun time

 

[qaiser]

Only in Pakistan would you force someone to keep - who was never a keeper in the first place.

Only in Pakistan...

what about Dravid, Dilshan, AB DeVilliers

 

[JibranAnsari]

I think our batters should stop making excuse of batting under lights , if they are not good enough to play under lights let the other deserving batsmen play.

 

[lilFlip]

some 6s and 4s times... and may be couple of wickets.. fun time

:kami

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan staring at a total of 270 here

 

[dhump]

Rahul Dravid comes to mind

India was not doing great during that time nor was Rahul Dravid same with Umer he will come to bat with so much preassure because of his keeping.

 

[Sledger]

Where are the jorkers?

 

[Saudi]

what about Dravid, Dilshan, AB DeVilliers

Devilliers isn't part time. He kept for his domestic side.

 

[dhump]

cheema looks not in best of his fitness.

 

[Justcrazy]

:cheema struggling here.

 

[Sledger]

Cheema at 130ks, looks injured.

 

[MC]

Despite the wickets, England's batsmen does not have the confidence to hit boundary after a boundary.

With that many wickets, even Pakistani players would've dominated the last overs.

These last over would've been total entertainment if Aussies/Saffers were batting.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan need to bat better today.

 

[Warfare]

what about Dravid, Dilshan, AB DeVilliers

Lol AB Devilliers is one of the best fielders in the game. Dilshan and Dravid had experience with the gloves and were good out fielders.

Who's Umar Akmal - someone with very little experience of keeping, not that great of a fielder and slightly overweight. Is this someone who you give the gloves to just for the sake of it?
