6th Match - England v Pakistan

[Starfighter]

What the **** is going on with Woakes

Do you mean the catches? Dunno. The bowling? That's just the Woakes from last world Cup.

 

[trundler]

England will chase this in 40 overs

Won't happen. Don't see an 8 rpo chase.

 

[Burgey]

so i wake up to watch, and all I have seen so far are the wickets of asif, sarfaraz, and wahab

Go back to ****ing bed then

 

[trundler]

Shadab can bat a bit. Not to worry. 4 off 2 is good enough.

 

[stephen]

Good running that.

This total will take some chasing.

hassan ali claiming an obnoxious 5fer would cap this game off perfectly

 

[Howe_zat]

Oof. Things are bad.

 

[trundler]

Hasan can slog too

 

[smash84]

why isn't shadab batting?

 

[Starfighter]

To think England though that batting first on the ground and pitch where they broke the world record score while batting first last year and putting the match potentially beyond a team not known for their toughness in pressure situations was not the right approach.

They may still win but the thinking was completely arse-backwards.

 

[PikeyB]

Poor performance by England , I know they give up bonus runs easily but today was especially bad. Even if we end up winning this game, we aint playing like the World Cup winners.

 

[stephen]

122 is the perfect change of pace. Not like a Brett Lee 100kph floater.

 

[weldone]

why isn't shadab batting?

Sarfraz giving the opening bowlers some rest

 

[cnerd123]

Wood and Ali -for all the derision- have emerged as England's best bowler's today. 5/103 in 20 between them.

Second 330+ score in as many days. This is going to be a ridiculously high scoring WC.

England could chase this, but I wouldn't back them to do it. But if any team were to do it, it would be them.

 

[trundler]

Losing momentum

 

[Starfighter]

Archer has sent down a welter of friendly half volleys and log hops and looked yards slower than he speed gun reading today.

 

[stephen]

121kph however is an easy 6.

 

[weldone]

Make the last over big and get to 350. And then break the England opening partnership within the first 4 overs.

 

[trundler]

Classic tail end slog

 

[Starfighter]

Was that an attempt at Layla​?
