World Cup 2019 Day 5 England (Poms) v Pakistan @ Nottingham

[010203]

Good 1st over for Pakistan.

 

[RohitSharma]

Apart from Archer, England has poor net bowlers

 

[010203]

Just a tad reckless from Fakhar

 

[tigs2010]

Missed the start thanks to Chief forgetting my invite...

 

[Gough]

Just a tad reckless from Fakhar

I'll never tire of watching wristy subcontinental batsman play cover drives.

 

[010203]

That made a sweet sound off Fakhar's bat.

 

[010203]

Shot!

 

[010203]

Pakistan's best chance is to set England something over 350.

 

[010203]

Liking Pakistan's start but they need to keep this up.

 

[The Speaker]

This match might be real test of England's bowling. Pakistan aren't best side, but batting first at Trent Bridge may be playing to their strengths.

 

[Bedi]

Good to see Pakistan coming to play!

 

[StillAtLarge]

Good start to this one

 

[Moonwatcher]

Rumours of Pakistan's demise have been exaggerated.

 

[Bwillow11]

Were on for a good one today I reckon. England's trundling pace attack is not quite the best one out there and could be in a bit of trouble on this occasion.

 

[StillAtLarge]

I reckon I could hit a straight six at this ground! Probs not off Archer though

 

[Bedi]

Hoping for a big tournament for Imam Ul-Haq. Averaging 57.8 in ODI, so boy can play.

 

[010203]

A wasted review by England. Could haunt them later in the innings. Good decision by Marais Erasmus.

 

[The Speaker]

what was the point of that review

 

[SilentHunter_]

What a terrible review.

 

[010203]

what was the point of that review

Desperation even at this early stage.

 

[Doodlesweaver]

Yes Sure.

I will predict the other two matches for you.

Afg vs SL = Afghanistan will beat Srilanka

Afg bat first - 287/7 , SL - 150 all out
Afg field first SL 109 all out, Afg chase it down in 20 overs

Team India vs South Africa

India bat first 478/1, Myself 299*, South Africa 299/9

India fields First SA 255/ 6, India chase it down in 40 overs, win by 9 Wickets.

Well I could do that, I want the technicolour version you gave of England v Pakistan ot is it only Pakistan that inspire such heights?

 

[eddiesmith]

Great cricket ground this one, good memories for Australia especially AJ Tye who managed a century here last year

It's good when the pitch is green and offering something for the bowlers.

 

[Kram]

Someone smack Ali out of the park please.

 

[Doodlesweaver]

Yes Pakistani suicide bombers killed 40 innocent indians and now we are at war, but we were at war before because they are trying to steal our land, Kashmir. India vs Pakistan in cricket, we count them as Bangladesh. We will brush them aside, easy win in the cards.

This recent conflict mostly been airstrikes, hasn't it? Not that that alone is a mild thing, but both governments would be freaking insane to engage in large-scale military conflict.
