A very poor effort again from Pakistan's batsmen today. Once again relying on the bowlers.
 
We were already playing countless dot balls with the presence of Sharjeel and Latif, the only two modern day players, now it is obvious that we will only get worse. It is a sad day when the best regarded talent, Zaman, is a hack and pathetic vs Fast bowlers and variations. We need a major overhaul, but that'll never happen. Best thing to do is polish young talent we have.
 
To be fair, its not a great pitch to bat on. Especially once the ball gets older and the bowlers take the pace off the ball, it becomes difficult to get it away. West Indies will struggle once again.
 
The balance of the team is being exposed. Too many accumulators at the top and not enough power hitters
 
Because Sarfraz dhoka nahi dega!

:srini

As [MENTION=139316]daytrader[/MENTION] said, too maany accumulators. Malik, Sarfraz, Shehzad, Fakhar..what are they doing in T20s?

Sharjeel and Khalid masked our pathetic lineup.
 
There just doesnt seem to be any real intent And i dont mean slogging every ball

I mean trying to put fielders under pressure, running hard, trying to hit the ball hard and into gaps, looking for a run every ball

They were all guilty but Babar was esp just knocking the ball around for a single at most
He showed a horrible lack of intent until his last couple of overs
 
Even if half of these dot balls had singles off them that would have been around 160.
 
Living off the mistakes of WI batsmen - we really need to be making our own luck by scoring big

Doesn't look it by the way the windies is batting
 
Yeah I admit I underestimated their batting, although I feel we've bowled poorly. The spinners have bowled really poor lengths.

To me it's a little simpler. Second successive mediocre score by Pakistan and not international team is going to let that pass twice
 
It would be nice if windies bats first in last match and sets up a score of 180+
 
Required circumspect tuk tuk batting to lay the foundation.

But but but why are we focusing on him. What about Malik shehzad etc etc.
One thing that Pakistani fans need to understand better, is that Pakistan lose matches because of their set batsmen, not the ones who got going
 
Where is the game planning. Why on earth would you bat first when you have a serious shortage of hitters. The world knows this west Indies team has the ability to chase anything with there fire power hitters. Never understand these brainless decisions
 
too many stupidites by sarfraz and einstien aurther...
imad at 3? tht was completly brainless decision... lukily babar and akmal got going otherwise it could have been worse

shadab at 9.... were they sleeping through PSL? did they not see that he is proper batsmen better than Sohail "Sobers" Tanver and Wahab "Klusner" riaz?
 
Fakhar
Babar
Kamran
Malik
Sarfraz
Shadab
Imad
Nawaz
Hasan
Rumman
Shinwari

Play this line-up for the next game and if we're batting first and don't score 160 on this same pitch, ban me for a week.
 
Have been saying it for years. Our OD team is always loaded with accumulators and once the wicket is flat we get in trouble.

And it was really stupid to bat first when you know that your team has been successful chasing in T20's. Maybe Sarfraz wanted to make it interesting by giving Windies a chance?

The choices Arthur at times makes makes one wonder if it's the same Arthur who once coached SA.

then expect usual excuses...
- new captain - except that he's not new to the responsibility
- new players - except that the "senior" rotten deadwood is sinking this team again and again
- new conditions, need time to acclimatise - except that that's not true
- new kit causing irritation - who cares!!

We all know the PCB and these jokers are not interested in performing to anything resembling international standards, partly because a lot of them simply never have/ will be good enough - boasts of competing with India, Bangladesh etc - please give me a break!!!

As long as the likes of tanvir, hafeez, shezad, Malik, or any akmal stains the side - expect more beatings to come and deservedly so!
 
Pakistan need explosive batters in 20 20 . This kind of batters will not win you tropies.
 
Thank you Babar :salute

If you watched the match. Babar and K. Akmal were rotating it like crazy during their 50 partnership.

It was just a rare bad game from Malik and Sarfraz who are usually pretty good at rotating the strike.
 
Easy to is this set up ... yessss !!!! You send the sluggers to open. Remember this is T/20, a wicket does not mean as much as it does in an ODI or a Test Match. With the field restrictions they should thrive ..... if loose them you always have the Tuk Tuk artists to finish the 20 overs. I know, it is easy to say this, then to do it.
 
hmm so is it still Misbah's fault, or is time we accept that we bat slow because we arn't that good and the cause behind it isn't one man.

I'm eagerly waiting for the Odi series and see how different Sarfraz is from the former 2 captains that everyone thinks he is the solution to our every problem that exists.
