Its hard to believe that this is the same team that thrashed Eng by 160+ runs in the 3rd ODI.
If we bowl well and take some early wickets however, I think we have a good chance.

Dont blame Inzy, he had a runner.

this time we need to go for the kill. If we have them at 130 odd for 8 we HAVE to finish it off

not a great score but if we come out pumped and take some poles up front we can do it there is a very soft belly in there batting order espeically with no Pietersom and we have already seen them falter chasing a low score in the test series

this was shambolic.. Inzi should not have taken a runner coz the plonkers that are Sami and Rana didnt understand that Inzi should have had most of the strike..

210 is well below par. 250 would have been a winning total,.. 230 would have been a fighting one, but 210 does not look enough. We will need a superb bowling performance to win this game. The wicket is slow, so keeping the runs in check early will be vital. The only way to do that is getting wickets. I feel this pitch will suit Rana.

Early wickets on this pitch will put England under pressure.....our bowlers need to keep it tight.

Mark my words...even if England wins (hoepfully not), it will be quite close
The odd ball is keeping low, ball is turning, and Pak has 3 spinners (with Arshad Khan included)
Now since Inzi is injured, Younas Khan will take over and that will help too

This match is a good example of why Pakistan's supersub policy is all wrong. They could have had an all-rounder or batsman come in at the fall of Razzaq's wicket.

i feel we are 15/20 runs too light here, but nonetheless, its a fighting score and we will get a bit of help on this wicket when we bowl. The wicket is in decent shape for the second half, not too scuffed...
Also, I dont know if u have noticed, when the game began. the ball came onto the bat for the first few overs and then started to slow down and made the batter wait a bit more...
I feel that if this carries on, then the seamers who are quicker than englands, may not find the wicket to our liking....the spinners hold the key to this game at this moment...who will arshad replace??? Maybe Salman or Yousaf.
210 IS A FIGHTING total in this game, and one where the spin bowlers need to exert pressure

Pak already have 2 spinners. If they wanted another, then they could have chosen Arshad as a specialist and had an all-rounder as the supersub. If this is a spinning pitch and Pak knew that in advance, then that's what they should have done.
If instead it is a surprise that it's a turning pitch, then having Arshad as the supersub is just a lucky bonus, and you can't rely on luck (gambling) when choosing your team.

How about Arshad for Inzi, since he is injured anyway...YK can captain

On a brighter note, Inzi's ODI average has now risen above 40 with his 80-odd not out.

Maybe they didn't want to change the winning combo and also if Arshad was included in the team, Amjid and several others would have burned PP down...so it was a good move IMO :D
Inzi did say in an interview that they expect the pitch to turn

Then don't even bother posting either :9: :9:
BTW, if you did watch the game, then how did you miss the fact that Inzi seemed in discomfort from the start of his innings...ever since he hit that 6 or even before that, he was stretching in every over!
Yet you criticize the guy who took us over the 200 mark...some people are never happy :21:

I think I will do what you do and steal part of a person's post and pick on it.
1 - Where did I state that I watched the game?
2- Where did I state that I didn't watch the game?
3- Where did I state that Inzi shouldn't have asked for a runner earlier
4- Where did I state that Inzi should have asked for a runner earlier
5- Where did I say that the captain shouldn't have told his runner (not some batsmen mind you, but THE CAPTAIN) to not take chances with surefire singles with test-opener Sami at the other end
If you don't see my point, i'll make it simple.
When you ASSume, you make as ASS out of U not ME.
And given the fact that I lurked on this board for over 14 mths b4 I ever posted, I think it's a given that I stay away quite enough....heaven forbid that I miss out on all the "BEAST" talk.....geez, how will I ever keep up w/ Pak Cricket.
Inzi is not your god, relax....the way he treated Rana when he ran himself out on 99 should show you that you don't always have todefend someone b/c you perceive him a certain way....truth be told, he's a magnificent and once-in-a-decade type player, but he's also selfish!

That is actually a stimulating and purposeful reply.
I realize that's the point of the 'commentary/update' etcetc thread.
However, when someone starts a post during the match, i've often seen it get merged b/c of the content closely relating to the current match at hand.
Also, it's quite simple...England don't like Pakistan, they can get the flip out!
If you don't like how I preface my post, simply ignore it, and move on....I do that with a vast majority of the posts on this board (b/c of the dearth of the content).
I don't get to 4K posts by typing " :))) :))) :))) " or "Afridi Sixxxxxxx" etcetcetc.
I will let you know in the first 2 lines what my post is about, so you don't have to waste your time reading the rest....I only wish everyone did the same favor around here.

Or I read the play by play on Cricbuzz/Cricinfo.
That's my point, he took 2 lines of my post, and used it conveniently to pick a bone.
Sure, i'm harsh on a majority of the posters, but that's only b/c I have seen this place at 'what I believe' to be a much higher level of fandom. It's sad when my fav place to kick back about Cricket dips a little bit, and to me, that's what has happened in the last 30-45 days.
Anyways, on with the show, nothing to see here, C'mon boys lets put some pressure on em!
