Big question mark on faheem ashraf neither he is goid batsman just an average bowler i think we are wasting his place we need big hitter asif is not a cup of tea as far as international cricket is concerned we need new gun

If shadab is not going to play in WC we dont need current spinner we need good off spin who can bowl doosra

We need junaid who can trouble with swing amir seems lost all swing after his marriage bring new bowler who can swing bowl in the air and of the pitch

50 overs
more suited to Pakistan if it was t20

Sir I also have blind love for country but we should have a realistic approach, all big teams have main teams and back ups meanwhile we have not still finalized 15 Man squad. Honestly u cant't win matches with single type of batsman like Imam Ul Haq, Harris Sohail and Shoaib Malik. They can show good individual records but can't win matches for team. On other hand Hafeez form is questionable meanwhile Fakher is also looking for long innings. Shadab Khan so far sick and Yasir Shah not good choice. Faheem Ashraf is not all rounder yet depicted to be one meanwhile performance of Imad Wasim may not be extra ordinary against good teams. His batting is good only against smaller teams.
Junaid Khan is the biggest question mark in a suspicious squad.

I do not want to break hearts yet reality is bitter.

England 373 for 3 (Buttler 110*, Roy 87, Morgan 71*, Bairstow 51) beat Pakistan 361 for 7 (Fakhar 138, Babar 51, Asif 51) by 12 runs

what you think about this performance in my home ground Southampton. I would have been watching this match if it was not in month of ramdhan ..it was competitive though I was disappointed they could not finish it and was poor in last 5/6 overs because of some good death bowling from England

our Captain sarafraz really need to learn how to hit boundary and sixes ..he was just accumulating singles and doubles when you need ten runs per over

Sir, only one to two missing links are enough to for losing a game. Still I think Pak team is not up to mark.

Pakistan has the worst bowling attack in years, can not image Eng scored 374 against them.

Even the bowl tempering Liam Plunkett destroyed the ball completely.

 

[Pak-Canuck]

Why is everyone going on about Pak having the worst bowling attack after England posted 374 against them when the SAME Pak team posted 360 against the SAME England team? Are the English bowlers just as pathetic? Why can't people accept that it was the dead wicket and small ground that was the problem.

I expect Hasnain to get the boot, he didn't even do good in UAE against Australia, it was more of a tactic to wake Amir up and inspire him to bowl better and include him last minute before the May 23rd deadline (where they can change the WC squad without permission). Hence why Amir was included in the first game that got rained out (due to friendly bowling conditions) and left out of this 2nd one because they all knew it was going to be a massacre for all bowlers.

We are lacking in bowling department and we need finishers (big hitters). We need few changes and play according to situation . We are lucky we have England series before worldcup & we can make changes.

We lacked the hitting power in the last game clearly visable any other team with wickets in hand would have won that game

Sarfraz is becoming liability. He is out of form from one year.

Imaam is a liability sarfraz is a good captain he isn't a pinch hitter but we should have some pinch hitters that the problem

 

[Asian.Century]

Guys, Pakistan's bowling is zero. Its Pakistan bowling which is not taking wickets and getting hit for massive runs. Fielding is also poor...look at how many drops catches.

The ICC cricket world Cup 2019 Official Song ‘Stand By’ is now available to the world as the countdown to the tournament enters the final two weeks.

‘Stand By’ – a collaboration between new artist LORYN and one of the UK’s most successful and influential acts Rudimental – will be played in ground and city events across the tournament as the official song to this summer’s showpiece event.

The exciting partnership celebrates the cultural diversity of The United Kingdom and was announced earlier in May at an exclusive event hosted by Radio 1 Breakfast DJ Greg James in discussion with cricket world cup Ambassador Freddie Flintoff and LORYN

Pakistanis bowlers have looked toothless in the England series. They look confused and directionless. Azhar Mehood, the below average bowler by Pakistani standards in his time is the bowling coach. Some legitimate questions asked about his capability in Dawn article today. Pakistani bowlers have not been able to take wickets or contain the opposition to make or break a game.

Overall, Pakistan has lacked ability to finish the game, be it bowling second or batting second. If Pakistan does not improve the skill of finishing the game, it does not look the team will reach semi final stages. Watching all three games so far against England, after Asif Ali, we dont have any power hitter and we just hope and pray that our 8 to 10 number batsman could hit a boundary. On the other side, England team's number 10 can also play like a batsman.

While teams target 60 to 70 runs in last 5 overs, our weak low order batting has hardly produced 40 to 50 runs in the last five. These are serious issues and in big scoring games, the margin is very narrow between win and loss.

Credit goes to Mikey Arthur as well who is still doing experiment with team which is not helping building confidence in players . I am still hopeful that Pakistan will get back on track if get few win to boost their confidence
