Pakistan v England, limited overs matches. UAE, 2015.

England's young lions are getting slaughtered, this is problem when you have a batting line up of positive batsmen. A Johnathan Trott type would be an asset at the top of the order.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Going to work in half an hour. Might not miss much.

48 All out.

They will get that much

[Arthur Crabtree]

Professor is lucky to get selected, and lucky to get hold of that catch as well on second attempt.

This is terrible situation for England. Middle order exposed to new ball in 4th over itself.

The new ball only lasts for six overs. It'll be harder with the old ball.

Alex Hales is not making any use whatsoever of many chances to save his place. Averaging 21 only even batting as opener.

eespecially since the team is unbalanced to accommadate him

ideally moeen would have opened and we could have played another bowler

Correction Profie was not the one who took catch. But two new balls being used in ODI so it have effect over more overs. For old ball Pak has enough bowlers in Bilal, Yasir and Shoaib. So it will not be easy in second part of innings as well.

But he has talent... I wonder is there any cricketer who does not has talent. At some point number of runs and wickets need to be looked at to decide whether to select or drop a player I mean which country selection panel will give opening position to batsman who averages 21.

[Arthur Crabtree]

At least England bat down to ten.

[Aidan11]

Highest stand of the match.

We're motoring now.


300+ nailed on

I took the two balls into account.

Captain Morgan to the rescue

Pakistan need to win this ODI series to get higher in rankings. They are below Bangladesh.

Australia
India
South Africa
New Zealand
Sri lanka
England
Bangladesh
Pakistan
West Indies
Zimbabwe
Ireland
Afghanistan

[Arthur Crabtree]

Don't think England go below BD, even if they lose 4-0.
