*Official* Pakistan in England and Ireland 2016

[Howe_zat]

I think it's the best I've seen them bowl as a pair, and the best I've seen Moeen specifically bowl in any format for ages. Really good stuff.

Yeah this especially, I feel like I've spent all series talking about how they should be kept apart more in the middle overs because partnerships seem too easy for Pakistan with them in tandem. Not today though

 

[Howe_zat]

Yeah, reckon England have this in the bag now.

 

[grecian]

Moeen deserved that 1-40 wouldn't have nearly reflected how well he's bowled.

seriously? better than the match where they bamboozled Australia?

 

[MW1304]

That's what we need to see more of from Moeen, sneaking the odd wicket at the end of his spell. Love to see him bowling well.

Imad is going to be a very popular cricketer.

There's also bound to be a 'u mad?' based meme to be made out of his name that we can all look forward to.

 

[mr_mister]

At the moment he's averaging 55 with the bat and 20 with the ball

because Woakes gets to play a lot more cricket than those from the pre-ODI era

Aside from Laker that list isn't made up of anyone from the pre-ODI era.

Bowls with an economy of under 5 too. Missing the last game will have assisted with that, granted

Lock too tbf. But yeah the list has two things, firstly that Woakes' performances across formats is pretty rare and mixing with some big names, and that Laker's way out on his own despite playing (mostly) fewer matches.

Botham's figures are from 6 tests and 3 ODIs which presents a lot more opportunities for bowlers than modern 4 tests and 5 odis.

Bedser... but also don't you see how this proves my point?


edit - Also Barnes, Lock and Trueman. what are ya smoking

 

[91Jmay]

Such a great over from Jordan, with his fielding and death bowling could seriously see an argument over Plunkers,

 

[91Jmay]

Imad is a proper player isn't he. Great find, would give their Test side great balance as well.

 

[Howe_zat]

Willey not much as a death bowler, looks a bit pedestrian without a new ball.

Superb innings from Imad though. Single handedly giving Pakistan something to bowl at.

 

[TheJammyTurtle]

The Welsh lad really is the real deal.

 

[Stace]

Brilliant from Imad just what this match needed.

 

[Howe_zat]

1-14 off four overs at the back end from Jordan. Expect him to be pilloried next time he concedes a few but he can do his job.

 

[mr_mister]

he's pretty his and miss with this scoop

 

[91Jmay]

Punchers chance on a pitch taking spin but smart money on England

 

[mr_mister]

lol Gul winked at that ball as it flew away for six


Imad Wasim is now averaging 71.33 and has the highest ODI batting average of all time (min 10 matches)
