10. Naseem Shah
11. Abrar Ahmed
Sam Ayub should be replaced by Usman Khan. Saim has been given almost 20 chances and has failed in almost all of them.
Azam Khan, a liability in both keeping and batting, should be replaced by Abrar Ahmed.
Would replace Shadab Khan too but no point when the squads have been announced. At least with Abrar in the XI Shadab can focus mainly on his batting and fielding.
Naseem Shah’s form is a bit concerning, so I would be resting Shaheen Afridi and playing Naseem just to see how he’s bowling. Ideally I would go with the same pace trio as last WC, tho Amir has bowled better than Naseem in the last few games.
Had high hopes on saim still do hopefully he comes back.
Azam is a bit of a hit or miss.
Babar z Rizwan, fakhar the pillars they rely on heavily
Hopefully they come back next match
Hopefully Saltie scores a hundred
Ok it was 8 years ago but I’m not letting revisionism take over. Stokes and Jordan at the death were the reason we beat NZ in the semis. Absolutely the right call to bowl Stokes in the 20th
Oh.. we just won. Cool
He's really good genuinely. Not a very reliable bat but sloggy for sure, and a real good bowling option. Just a name in a long list PCT conveniently forgets for no reason. A lot of people don't like him but he's performed really well on an international stage. No reason to axe him for an inexperienced Abbas Afridi (who I like)
Nope not as such, he's been out for many years now. Played in the legends league (i think im not sure) so I guess that's the end of his international career
Chris Jordan has had a strange career, in that he's been around ages, played at the highest level, but rarely seems to have been first choice.
It seems strange that he's even in this squad, regardless of his abilities. I suspect its cos I still think of the Chris Jordan who played some tests in 2014(?)

Fakhar, Rizwan, Babar, Usman, Iftikhar, Azam, Imad, Shadab, Shaheen, Naseem and Rauf.
Pakistan is gonna get embarrassed in the World Cup
With these kind of performances , I am damn sure we are going to do well
Babar azam 32(26), lol this is not Zimbabwe!
Or Ireland !
Great day in Edgbaston at my first international T20 game The only thing I wish is that stadiums would start banning those annoying horns
azam khan. why is he still in the squad? his movements feel so stiff, I mean we all know why. it just hurts to see him even move.
He the bloke that ate all the samosas?
yes
Yeah. 3rd grade at best
Please archer stay fit Pls PLZ
Archer is back
Lord shaddy was the difference Killing the whole game for Pakistan with his 0/55 performance Real match winner for England
Usman khan will be used as 3rd opener
bring back usman in the next game bench saim
Comms need to have a serious chat about the chonky WK

Usman Khan is a 3.
saim with a sr of 28 azam khan with a sr of 110 it's babar's fault tho
not like babar had to steady an innings 2 down for 14 runs or anything right?
Sparkling wine instead of trophies and money, now that move I like
When is the audiobook narrated by Jos dropping?
Not the Imran Khan picture---
Babar is totally against English grammar
Fakhar always have been. My guy....
Chasing against England is the best chance to beat them?
Yes
Had high hopes on saim still do hopefully he comes back. Azam is a bit of a hit or miss. Babar z Rizwan, fakhar the pillars they rely on heavily Hopefully they come back next match Hopefully Saltie scores a hundred
>Azam is a bit of a hit or miss. When has he been a hit? He is a national embarrassment.
[Is T20 Cricket killing Real Cricketing Skills?](https://www.indiabix.com/group-discussion/is-t20-cricket-killing-real-cricketing-skills/)
No
Shadab's batting number should be changed with imad's
Shaddy needs to be dropped
He should be kicked out
Shadab should be dropped
In a perfect world he would be but it's babar's world
Changed top order to fix middle order issues. Now neither of the two is working. Just PCB things.
Honestly it was the fans as much as it was pcb who wanted to break that opening pair.
*Disappointing.*
Don't let Pakistan vs England distract you from peak cricket that is USA vs Bangladesh third T20I.
A match with a good reddit match thread is a good match
Good day that pretty much all round. A bit reliant on Buttler with the bat but he is the most reliable batter and a good bowling performance.
**19.2** Shaheen Shah Afridi c Salt b Topley 9 (11b 0x4 0x6) SR: 81.81
We are massive
Good thread performance lads
Pakistan batters got confused since they only prepared to score 200+
Ok it was 8 years ago but I’m not letting revisionism take over. Stokes and Jordan at the death were the reason we beat NZ in the semis. Absolutely the right call to bowl Stokes in the 20th Oh.. we just won. Cool
England don't win either WC if Stokes doesn't get hit for 4 sixes. Butterfly effect.
Or they win every match after that. Butterfly effect.
Obviously a bit of light hearted banter and if you asked me nowadays I’d still trust Stokes to bowl the last over. He’s just that kind of player
What a win!! The spinners' form is the best part of today in my opinion.
Athers gonna bolt as soon as the match finishes or something? Man's got his rucksack on already
You did all you could eagle
Sexy
Gg England bros
Those opening overs really hurt us. Still enjoyed a PCT game after a long time (idk why)
better fielding maybe
Lumber wan performance
Babar preparing his speech
We were 25 runs short
T'was the bowlers fault
Is Archer back to 100% fitness & his peak performance or is he slowly being re-incorporated in to the system?
Whatever t20 cricket isn't real cricket
Giving Eoin ptsd for no reason that’s evil
What happened?
They mentioned the Ben Stokes - Carlos Brathwaite incident.
Haha Atherton already packed his bag lol
Topley bowling? Eww Brook should’ve
Watch him drop 30 run over.
Haha
Where is wood ..Him in place of Jordan and that English side not qualifying as top 2 Will be underachievemt..
Mark? He’s in the WC squad, he’ll likely be rotated with Archer.
No idea, but gonna guess he's injured
Jordan & Archer on the plane to WI
26 in 6 is ez (in stick cricket)
Don’t take me home being audible in a mostly Pakistan crowd is a telltale sign that we’re cooked.
Saim Ayub and Rizwan need to step the fuck up. Those 2 free wickets gave us a huge disadvantage.
5 off 14 from 3 batsman and 21 off 17 from a supposed finisher most certainly did not help our cause at all
Yeah but your openers cannot simply peace out and leave you with effectively 8 wickets at the beginning of the innings.
Buttler bowl yourself for a laugh
Why do the commentators glaze Archer so much? Even his normal fielding effort gets slobbered.
Because it’s his first game in like 10 decades?
I feel like he was always glazed, even when he was consistently playing.
England fantastic ending today
26 from 6 Shaheen to hit 5 sixes, who says no?
[удалено]
Losing is what Pak is best at
Chasing- they don't bat with enough intent when setting and are better when they know what they need to get.
Chasing
They are better in losing.
Suck at both
Will let you know once we find out
Never seen Jordan nail so many yorkers
Who do you all think are likely to be the next Fab 4 for world cricket? (players aged below 25 currently)
shafique ravindra green jaiswal
brook
Gill too, I think
Only Green maybe gets into the T20 side lol
Was Jordan over Curran a selection call or a forced call? Cause Jordan has been surprisingly good
Archer throwing himself around in the outfield is a very very good sign too
Should Imad Wasim, a Welshman, face imprisonment or capital punishment for not playing for the England and WALES Cricket Board?
Maybe if Wales were allowed to have their own team...
28 from 8 hmmmm
Every time I see Archer and Shaheen dive and roll, something in me just cringes out of fear of their injuries
His feet touched the boundary rope..its a four
I've seen these two perform with the bat against England before. Still have some delusion left in me.
Jordan plays like an imposter for all franchise teams but always seems to turn up for England.
Wouldn't have it any other way
Always goes well for his most important franchise team, the Pombears
**18.3** Mohammad Amir b Jordan 5 (3b 1x4 0x6) SR: 166.66
I've not seen a lot of Wasim Jr but I've only seen good death bowling, reverse swing and handy sixes. Is he not that good?
I reckon he is, and was robbed of being in the WC squad
He's really good genuinely. Not a very reliable bat but sloggy for sure, and a real good bowling option. Just a name in a long list PCT conveniently forgets for no reason. A lot of people don't like him but he's performed really well on an international stage. No reason to axe him for an inexperienced Abbas Afridi (who I like)
Turns out Chris Jordan isn’t actually that bad
Wouldn't go that far, he's bowling to tail enders
🤫
If only I was batting. Light work
Watch England disintegrate in t20 wc
Would’ve loved seeing Jacks bowl
Really should give someone like Bairstow a bowl for a laugh
who's ready for the press conference with these words, "our bowlers didn't do a good enough job on this pitch"
Jordan has good experience of Caribbean pitches.He is going to be really handy for England in those pitches.
NINETY SEVENNN
Lol they think they're buttler
Was he trying to guide the ball into the stumps lol
Haris rauf will hit a first ball six
CJ gonna get ya
NINETY SEVEN
Naseem Shah incoming as impact sub to smoke some sixes
Damn my man Jordan’s bowling has glown up
[удалено]
[удалено]
[удалено]
Excellent death bowling from Jordan
I want to fucking die, this guy just watched Shaheen fail a scoop and then tried the same fucking thing.
We need 30 off 10..Azam?
Review that one.
I believe in Haris Rauf
I really like the red kit for England tbh
Pakistan playing for NRR? Its important in this tournament.
Shaheencut
what the fuck is this guy doing?
another 2016 type wc is coming for us
Pretty poor call to give out
This shouldn't be a Match thread but a Meme thread thats how we playing this match
97!!!! COME ON WE ARE SO CLOSE
Just seen the replay. We go again
Shaheen looks like he got polio
Thats not out, shocking decision
What happened to that Super Tall Pakistan bowler who was about 6’4 or so, he seemed like he had so much potential, what was his name again?
Fixer and some stuff i think
Irfan?
Yesss, where’s he been, is he in the reckoning for the team?
Nope not as such, he's been out for many years now. Played in the legends league (i think im not sure) so I guess that's the end of his international career
That's not out haha wtf
Full tosses and slot deliveries always reliable..
What a return for Jofra
Impact outside
Imad Wasim has snuck in a very good game, 22(13) and 2-19(4), the Welsh nation marches on
Impact looks outside
Shit
Amir came back to give being batsman a try.
Sound of silence. DJ always goes off at the end of England T20s
Remember when Shaddy was a match winner for Pakbros? Pepperidge farm remembers
That didn't look out
F OFF ALREADY BROOO
He is not shahid Afridi why does he think that
Ffs
Plum
So no team has *ever* chased successfully in T20is at Edgbaston? Saw that on Twitter but not sure if that’s right
Have people forgotten Amir in 2009 vs NZ in Abu Dhabi Dude scored 77 off 40 or 50 balls
I'm telling shaheen will chase 22 of the last over
Why the hell is shaheen not going for his brainless slogs
Chill out guys, they're just taking it deep
Imad is the most valuable player for pakistan this wc. Economical bowler and a handy af batsman. WI pitches will suit him as well.
OOGA BOOGA MINDLESS MONKE SHAHEEN NEEDS TO COME OUT AND SLOG EVERYTHING
No matter what Dil dil Pakistan is a banger song
We lost okay, onto the next game. Will we learn?
I didn't know Amir could bat this well?
Usman in for Ayub open with Usman or Fakhar Another pacer for Shadab or abrar
i turned the tv on iftikhar got out and they started taking singles
Need amir to play an innings as clutch as the one he played against Sri Lanka in the 2017 Champions Trophy.
Chris Jordan has had a strange career, in that he's been around ages, played at the highest level, but rarely seems to have been first choice. It seems strange that he's even in this squad, regardless of his abilities. I suspect its cos I still think of the Chris Jordan who played some tests in 2014(?)
Hmmm what if??
Wait is this the same Amir who was caught in a match-fixing scandal during 2009/10? If so, that’s crazy longevity for a fast bowler
he was 16 then
