2nd ODI PAK vs ENG, 2nd Sept @ Lords

Re: 2nd ODI PAK vs ENG, 2nd Sept @ Lords

ohhhhh almost had a hatrick, Broad manage to put a bat in front.

Shoaib last ball

Re: 2nd ODI PAK vs ENG, 2nd Sept @ Lords

From the tone of yoru post, it sounds that you are suggesting to drop him. I agree that his performance has been way below par and can be attributed to lack of confidence, however, with World Cup approaching in just 6 months, and Moin and Latif retired, I don't think 'dropping him' is going to help. He's done well for over a year and we know that he IS a good keeper. We just need to reassure him by doing exactly the opposite, i.e., not dropping him and helping him regain his confidence.

Re: 2nd ODI PAK vs ENG, 2nd Sept @ Lords

last over!

Re: 2nd ODI PAK vs ENG, 2nd Sept @ Lords

Shoaib finishes with 8-24-4

Re: 2nd ODI PAK vs ENG, 2nd Sept @ Lords

Run out and its all over. Eng all out 166

Re: 2nd ODI PAK vs ENG, 2nd Sept @ Lords

finally a run-out!

England all out 166

Re: 2nd ODI PAK vs ENG, 2nd Sept @ Lords

166 all out

Re: 2nd ODI PAK vs ENG, 2nd Sept @ Lords

what a sharp piece of fielding by Younis though :k:

the rest of the team needs to play some pittoo garam.

Re: 2nd ODI PAK vs ENG, 2nd Sept @ Lords

English team was once again bullied by Pakistan pace attack in this match just like we saw in the first ODI.
The result of the test series could have been totally different in presence of Asif, Shoaib and Rana.

Re: 2nd ODI PAK vs ENG, 2nd Sept @ Lords

For Pakistan to win, we need to bat at least 20 overs and be ahead on D/L rating. (Assuming full 40 overs aren't bowled)

Re: 2nd ODI PAK vs ENG, 2nd Sept @ Lords

pakistan will need over 170 to win. D/L rules. :)

Re: 2nd ODI PAK vs ENG, 2nd Sept @ Lords

Rana was really disappointing.

Re: 2nd ODI PAK vs ENG, 2nd Sept @ Lords

180+ is a dodgy total for Pakistan. A lot would depend on the openers. Hope Mohammad Hafeez continues his fine form.

Re: 2nd ODI PAK vs ENG, 2nd Sept @ Lords

That makes no sense, we bowl them out for 166, and we have to chase more than that?

Re: 2nd ODI PAK vs ENG, 2nd Sept @ Lords

Pakistan bowling has been tremondous since Muhammad Asif and Shoaib Akhtar came MashaAllah.

Re: 2nd ODI PAK vs ENG, 2nd Sept @ Lords

Drop Rana's name. I would prefer Umar Gul over him as for being in form. Rana's result "Gave 36 runs in 6 overs". Plus Rana is not a test bowler.

Fkhan bhai, Jazakallah Khair for putting much in paklinks and taking care of highlights. You made the cricket section bright MashaAllah.

Re: 2nd ODI PAK vs ENG, 2nd Sept @ Lords

Actually it's the ABSENCE of SAMI rather than the presence of Asif, Shoaib, Rana that has made all the difference.

Re: 2nd ODI PAK vs ENG, 2nd Sept @ Lords

Thanks :slight_smile:

Malik giving catching practice to trescothick :eek:

Re: 2nd ODI PAK vs ENG, 2nd Sept @ Lords

Malik is a free wicket.

Re: 2nd ODI PAK vs ENG, 2nd Sept @ Lords

Target still is 167 after revision:confused:
