Rashid to Sarfraz Ahmed, OUT, three strides and a wallop … straight to mid-on! He scuffed this one, and Willey clung onto a stinger!
Sarfraz Ahmed c Willey b Rashid 24 (26b 2x4 0x6) SR: 92.30
Re: Pak v Eng - 4 ODI
nope, epic fail
Re: Pak v Eng - 4 ODI
Doubt that now, with 7 down …
Re: Pak v Eng - 4 ODI
Pakistan require another 98 runs with 3 wickets and 14.0 overs remaining
[RIGHT]**Required RR **7.00[/RIGHT]
Re: Pak v Eng - 4 ODI
for England 
Re: Pak v Eng - 4 ODI
Another odi series, another loss for a mediocre one-day side.
Buttler literally kicked our butts today!
Batting needs drastic surgery. Bowling was nothing special either.
Amer and Asif are badly needed in the XI
This I believe is our 9th or 10th odi series loss out of the last 12 or 13 played in UAE!
No wonder we have been languishing near the bottom of the rankings in this format for quite sometime now.
Odi is clearly our weakest suit right now.
Our test team looks more settled. Even their real test will be next year in England and Australia.
However expect us to do better in T20Is.

Re: Pak v Eng - 4 ODI
No this series was real test for England

Re: Pak v Eng - 4 ODI
England failed their away test. We have yet to sit ours
Re: Pak v Eng - 4 ODI
haan England haara to “away test” thaa… Pakistan ke liye “real test” 
Re: Pak v Eng - 4 ODI
away = real test 
Re: Pak v Eng - 4 ODI
Looking at the top 6 in our ODI batting it is not too hard to see why we struggle so badly in this format. We lack natural ODI batsmen or gifted batsmen with exquisite timing. Hafeez looks good & fluent when he is on song but he is not consistent plus he lacks the ability to dominate good bowling. Even the captain (Azhar Ali) himself is not a natural ODI player. Sarfraz and Rizwan are aggressive (but fairly reckless too at the same time esp. Sarfraz). Both not outright batsmen and both lack the ability to play a long innings. Their specialty or primary job is keeping. Malik disappointed as always. He would never become a consistent batsman in any format.
Babar Azam showed promise of developing into a useful ODI batsman and he should be persisted with
Running was pathetic throughout
Hence I did not bother to watch the games at all apart from the first ODI which I watched in Pakistan
Re: Pak v Eng - 4 ODI
And England aren’t even one of the better one-day sides right now. If we can’t even beat them in UAE, then we have surely got huge problems as an ODI side
Re: Pak v Eng - 4 ODI
98 (runs needed)/14 (overs remaining) = 7 (wickets down)
Not sure such symmetry has been seen before in the annals of cricketdom.
Re: Pak v Eng - 4 ODI
what a pathetic batting team, just no good, very mediocre batsmen.
run-out problem exists forever, nobody can fix it.
don’t get your hopes up for any tournament wins anytime soon.
if this is on batting pitches, then what would happen on fast pitches
