14th June - 1st Semi-final - England v Pakistan

[vogue]

Some seriously good mornings/early afternoons viewing. Bowling has been awesome. Exciting afternoons play I hope.

 

[Burner]

Pak are going to stroll to the target imo. Seen it multiple times on pitches like these. They play spin as good as anyone in cricket.

 

[mackembhoy]

ECB love to negate home advantage mind

 

[vcs]

No Willey to Fakhar

Will have to settle for Wood and Ball.

 

[91Jmay]

Lucky already breaking their way as well. Not what you need.

 

[Burner]

Haha, first six of the game comes first over of Pakistan's innings.

 

[burr]

Doesn't sound like the pitch is that great. I don't mind biggish 200 odd totals but you want boundaries and sixes in ODI cricket. Can't all be a function of Pakistani bowling.

Anyway, c'mon Pakistan!

 

[mackembhoy]

This is gonna be painful to watch

 

[WalkingWicket]

Pakistan will stroll this - England are mentally shot after their innings.

 

[91Jmay]

Yep this is going to be a paddling. Thankfully got a few hour long meeting now (never thought I'd say those words).

 

[mr_mister]

lets not gambhir too quickly boys. this is PAKISTAN after all

 

[mr_mister]

if this was Pakistan chasing 200 against a team other than yours you'd be saying it's anyone's game if that defending team bowls well

 

[mackembhoy]

This hacks gonna get 50 off like 30. Just to troll us.

 

[mr_mister]

he's entertaining at least

 

[Agent TBY]

And he gives the broadcast standards team an aneurysm. Win-win.

 

[harsh.ag]

What a time for Fakhar to have made an entry into the side. Won the crunch SL game and now looks all set to make a difference here too.

 

[mr_mister]

hel scrub his way to hero status just like boom boom


all he needs his one jammy century at a strike rate of 200

 

[Shri]

No Willey to Fakhar

Will have to settle for Wood and Ball.

There will be Hardik to Fakhar, hopefully.

 

[harsh.ag]

There will be Hardik to Fakhar, hopefully.

Why the **** would you hope that?? That would mean Fakhar at 50 (30) or something.

 

[weldone]

good start..continue this till the spinners come...Then have a couple of bigger overs against the spinners and it will be a stroll in the park
