6th Match - England v Pakistan

[smash84]

as pak team have been saying, they scored 348 but england scored only 2 more runs in this match, it will be so close

Losing momentum

Not really tbh. They lost wickets but got 50 off the last 5. That's perfectly fine, who cares about the wickets in this situation.

Dhoni would've scratched his way to 40(45) with India losing 2 wickets in the last 10 for 55 and people would've looked at Dhoni's SR and think it was a good innings.

Malik and Hafeez are decent 5th bowling options.

"""bowling"""

 

[Burgey]

Oof. Things are bad.

That will be a ****ing good chase to watch if it comes off.

Malik and Hafeez are decent 5th bowling options.

isn't hafeez banned from bowling?

How tf is 5-96 in the last 10 overs considered a "draw"? It's the last 10, the W column is meaningless.

Time for Roy to earn his keep

 

[Starfighter]

349 - easy. Roy will have this done in 35.

All those fielding lapses will certainly have set him up well mentally.

Only need around 39 runs per over.

They're elbow spinners.

 

[GoodAreasShane]

Malik and Hafeez are decent 5th bowling options.

Will probably need a good 18 overs out of them

 

[BeeGee]

My exclusive prediction of no side getting within 20 while chasing a score greater than 320 still on point. Just.

This game will test your theory. Bad news for England if it holds up.

 

[Burgey]

349 - easy. Roy will have this done in 35.

He owes them 315 from his fielding

Feel like there were runs left on the board in the last 10 overs tbf.

96 in last 10 at Trent Bridge IS a draw.

 

[smash84]

Agreed, the wickets probably led it to only being 96, which on this ground is not really great.

Wahab meme five-for forthcoming...

 

[BSM]

Pressure of WC could be a deciding factor here I reckon. These are the type of chases which we should theoretically do; in the sense that we are considered favourites in this tournament because we've regularly chased them down. But there's definitely potential for the rails to come off here. Should be a fun chase

Would be interesting if this Archer has a few more bad days in the next games.
Sure as hell, the English media which had been singing his paeans would do an about turn and question why he was fast tracked into the team.
