Cricket fans kick Pakistan's dead horse on Twitter

England defeated visitors in the third ODI by 169 runs after setting record 445-run target to win

August 30, 2016 became a day to forget for the Pakistani cricketers as they were beaten down and out by England at Nottingham in the third of the five-match ODI series.

England, after opting to bat first, scored a record 444-3 in 50 overs and Pakistan's reply of 275 all out was not at all satisfactory.

Apart from Sharjeel 30-ball 58 and Mohammad Amir's (58 off 28) late flurry with the bat, there were not many moments for Pakistan to cherish in the match.

England have now bagged an unassailable 3-0 lead in the series and here is what the Pakistani cricketing fraternity had to say about Azhar Ali and his men's defeat.

It's raining sixes here boys are getting hammered big time .Is there any hope left ?

Team Pakistan got to play with out fear of losing.They have the talent and ability what they need is self belief and confidence .

Great to watch @englandcricket Some seriously talented young lads whacking the ball to all parts

— Graham Onions (@BunnyOnions) August 30, 2016

It's strangely unenjoyable watching decent bowlers being remorselessly flogged to or over the boundary. Or am I biased?

However, since the Pakistanis were busy consoling their team and the English players were hailing their records, the Pakistani fans were not in a great mood.

Never knew that living in a different time zone would be such a blessing that it would spare me from a sheer disappointment. 😄 #PakvsEng

If #Amir can wack a 22 ball 50 at #11 what are the top batsmen selected for? picking cherries with strawberry & cream? #PakvsEng
