3rd ODI - Pak going good thanks to Inam's century. But they need to pace up considering England's fire power. Right now 256-4 in 40th over.
Great knock by imam۔۔ 359 is the target for English on a small ground n flat wicket۔ they۔ R going like rocket۔۔
80 runs in 11 overs۔ no pressure at all on the batters
English openers۔ Are slaughtering pk bowlers specially Imad Wasim
Wickets are not falling...weak bowling...
On this wicket, and with this bowling, Pakistan wouldnt be able to defend 450 runs. Sucks!
It seems a gulli team playing a world class ...
we desperately need good spin options.
seems English players worked out emad waseem very well. Rather then playing to long off they are targeting long on with his in coming bslls.
shaheen afridi dropped a sitter . Few early wickets may have changed the game. Junaid Khan was also disappointing.
first time after so many years we are having this un impressive bowling attack.
Pks success with ball recently was due to wickets taken by Hasan Ali and economy of imad waseem. As well as faheem Ashraf.
except Hasan who created chance in his first 4 balls all of them looked pretty ordinary. That is the problem for pk as they don't have plan b once these bowlers are failing. Now a days every team has a spinner who gets some wickets as well Pacers are doing something in there bowling. We have like of Shaheen afridi who cannot think of wat to do . Only keep bowling one dimensional
Despite 16 sixes hit against bowlers, lets not forget three very easy catches dropped by Afridi, Imad and Babar. With WC few days away, its very disappointing
yeh speically fielding of Afridi is disappointment.
4th odi going on. Pk scored 341 . They should have scored 30to 40 more but keep losing wickets.
in reply it is a mix so far and in favour of English. They r looking very calm even after losing 5 wickets.
junaid is expensive in first 5 overs. Let's hope he can come back in final 10 overs
Some chance for a win for Pakistan in the 4th ODI?
England: 260/6 off 41.0 overs... RRR 9.0
Junaid Khan is such a trash bowler. When others brought Pak in. He gave 16 runs in 49th over against England's tail. smh. Another loss despite better bowling.
Hasnain took 2 wickets but he is no way ready for international contests yet
The series goes to England: 3-0
for bowling… ![]()
Hasnain need to be made fit for int. Cricket. He bowled some balls near 90mph. But if he is not prepared he must be injured n unfit soon.
Batting is okish. On this wicket they shud have scored more but Our fielding was really miserable.
And the missed runout call. Such stupidly by sarfraz.
Junaid khans fastest ball I believe is somewhere near 75 mph. Even Imad Waseem bowling around 65 to 70.
Without any seam or swing , batters gonna kill him.
Hafeex did a bit. He mostly do good with ball once he scores done good runs. I believe either hafeex or Harris Sohail will get chance.
well history says Pakistan always start off their campaign losing couple of initial matches in and before a tournament..... And the moment you write them off, they bounce back and make a surprising come back beating everyone and everything that comes in their way and luck favours them too. Let's hope history repeats itself this time too iA..
Pakistan is slowly getting there, much better performance with the return of Hafeez and Malik. With Shadab and Amir joining the squad we will inshAllah get to semis, the rest is on the day.
my team for the world cup:
Fakhar
Imam
Babar
Hafeez
Malik
Asif
Sarfraz
Shadab
Amir
Shaheen/ Hasnain
Hassan
Pakistani bowling needs a complete overhaul
Lets hope they get hold of the early chances they get . This will reduce hopefully reduce the pace at which English are playing.
5th ODI under way. Abid ali and shaheen afridi in replacing junaid and imam. Lets hope for a victory today. So far shaheen afridi hasnt shown any thing special like we saw in earlier days of amir and junaid or for instance , wahab riaz .
Hasnain has some good pace , but he need very careful grooming . specially his match fitness. He looks very weak to bowl at this pace.
Very disappointing series, bowling has no tooth, Eng batsmen making us look like Kenya :(
