Aaron Finch hits 155* as Australia comfortably defeat Pakistan by 8 wickets in 2nd ODI at Sharjah

[Zeeraq]

Can Australia chase 285 runs?

 

[Chokli]

Hasnain will need to make the difference.

They need to utilise Haris Sohail's spin

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Backing Pak to defend this. Not everyday u chase such totals. Bring imad from first over and cramp finch with room and bring hasnain against khawaja.

 

[Plumb]

Australia ll chase easily than the first odi.

 

[Bilal7]

Listening to this old uncle's voiceover trying to hype the Pakistan-Australia series and the WC 2019 on PTV Sports is absolute torture.

Help.

 

[Titan24]

Hasnain needs to make a difference on this pitch. Hopefully Yasir and Imad can improve their bowling from last match.

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Haris- Malik-Imad-Yasir should atleast bowl 30 overs.

 

[Cric1234]

If Finch can bowl well why not the Pakistani spinners it's the difference between a win and a loss in this match.

 

[Plumb]

If Finch can bowl well why not the Pakistani spinners it's the difference between a win and a loss in this match.

For answers check odi no1

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

If Finch can bowl well why not the Pakistani spinners it's the difference between a win and a loss in this match.

Pakistani spinners Yasir, Imad, Haris, Malik should win the match here.

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Excited to see Hassu.

 

[Cric1234]

Imad bowls too full and quick Yasir turns it into the batsmans hitting arc over midwicket.

 

[ExpressPacer]

Listening to this old uncle's voiceover trying to hype the Pakistan-Australia series and the WC 2019 on PTV Sports is absolute torture.

Help.

His fake accent kills me. I would rather have Chishti than this fake wannabe.

 

[Hasan123]

Well stopped.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

On pakistan inngs

We need proper hard hitting batsman for last 10 overs. Umer akmal can come on 6 or 7 and imad should play at 4 or 5

 

[ExpressPacer]

Brilliant start from Imad. Was foolish from Malik to not open with him in the last game.

 

[Titan24]

Maiden to start with

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Good thinking to start with Immy. Might take a few wickets here.

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Maiden to start with

What do you think about Abbas playing over Shinwari and Junaid?

 

[Titan24]

Considering how ineffective our pacers are generally with the new ball, Imad should open the bowling more often than not.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

2 consecutive boundaries

 

[castortroy]

I did say Khawaja will get a ton

 

[Hasan123]

Khawaja is showing PP how to bat in the powerplay overs. It’s about hitting balls into gaps, not the nonsense of power hitting.

 

[ExpressPacer]

Abbas will always leak runs with his lack of pace and seam movement. Giving Khwaja width is the most foolish thing to do. If he had bothered to do his homework, he'd know that Khwaja thrives on anything wide and gets worked up playing close to the stumps.

And you guys call this guy a smart bowler?

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Khawaja is class.

 

[Titan24]

What do you think about Abbas playing over Shinwari and Junaid?

Unless Junaid is being considered an automatic choice for WC, he should have been there from the first match.

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Khawaja kid has improved in last few years.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Abbas made up for that first maiden over

 

[Hasan123]

I think Warner will play at the WC. Khawaja can’t be dropped as a opener. Finch talked about batting in the middle order, I think Finch may drop down the order.

 

[Syed1]

There is a reason why Abbas has garbage numbers in domestic LOI

 

[Titan24]

Haris and Malik should bowl today if required

 

[ExpressPacer]

What do you think about Abbas playing over Shinwari and Junaid?

Shinwari should have been playing here champ. Don't look at his performances in the PSL. Its a T20 league. He's performed on the international arena, where it matters.

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Unless Junaid is being considered an automatic choice for WC, he should have been there from the first match.

I dont see the point of Abbas playing these matches.

Its white ball cricket not red ball where Abbas will get early movement in England.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Khawaja is class.

Imam should learn a thing or two from the way he walked out and cracked that ball for 4 rather than dancing down and skying it.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Abbas will always leak runs with his lack of pace and seam movement. Giving Khwaja width is the most foolish thing to do. If he had bothered to do his homework, he'd know that Khwaja thrives on anything wide and gets worked up playing close to the stumps.

And you guys call this guy a smart bowler?

Abbas is not an ODI bowler. He should stick with test cricket.

 

[Titan24]

Imad should open the bowling in WC as well especially against non subcontinental teams

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Shinwari should have been playing here champ. Don't look at his performances in the PSL. Its a T20 league. He's performed on the international arena, where it matters.

Samajh sai balatar hai Abbas ki selection. Even if he takes some wickets here i wont add him in wc squad as reasons described above.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Haris will continue to carry niggles and injuries till he doesn't drop at least 5kg of weight he's carrying on the belly and thighs.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Hasnain with 140+kph should have opened with Imad.

 

[Titan24]

I dont see the point of Abbas playing these matches.

Its white ball cricket not red ball where Abbas will get early movement in England.

Exactly this conditions wont help Abbas at all, he can only be effective if he can maintain tight lines with his limited pace.

 

[Chokli]

poor mans mohammad asif this abbas

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Haris will continue to carry niggles and injuries till he doesn't drop at least 5kg of weight he's carrying on the belly and thighs.

He gets tired too early.

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Maddy bowling nice seamers. Finchoo unable to pick him.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

PCB thinking Abbas will be successful on these dead tracks of the UAE like he did in Tests

 

[Chokli]

we need to get cricket back in pakistan.


so awful having empty stands when our fans at home are being deprived.

 

[ExpressPacer]

Samajh sai balatar hai Abbas ki selection. Even if he takes some wickets here i wont add him in wc squad as reasons described above.

Abbas is not an ODI bowler. He should stick with test cricket.

Frankly guys, I'm not a fan of him in Tests either but to play him in ODI's is an absolute crime. We should have tried Musa here. I like him the most out of our new bowlers.

 

[Syed1]

Samajh sai balatar hai Abbas ki selection. Even if he takes some wickets here i wont add him in wc squad as reasons described above.

Are you from urdu speaking background?

 

[Deewana Mastana]

He gets tired too early.

Because he's carrying extra weight at least 5kg if not more.

 

[Titan24]

Abbas should bowl in that off stump channel, with his pace he cant afford to err even a little

 

[IAJ]

Abbas with new ball when ball is not swinging is a big risk.

 

[x_KINGKHAN_x]

Im jus glad waqar younis is not here calling finch 'finchy'

 

[Syed1]

Abbas is so mediocre... even the ones that they aren't scoring runs off are pinging off the bat.

 

[castortroy]

Abbas will get slaughtered in England if he gets selected

England will probably see another hot summer

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Khawaja has ample time to come down the track to Abbas bowling at 78-80mph.

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Are you from urdu speaking background?

haha yes but i am from Islamabad but quite a few cousins in Karachi and Lahore.

How did you get it?

 

[Titan24]

Abbas eye bowling Khawaja who is trying to hit every bowl from him

 

[IAJ]

Pace Abbas! 124 KPH!

 

[Syed1]

130 kph

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Absolute waste of time and money this series.

No atmosphere, dead wickets and just playing without any intensity.

 

[Syed1]

haha yes but i am from Islamabad but quite a few cousins in Karachi and Lahore.

How did you get it?

"samaj se balatar"...... its used often in my house but not heard it outside.

 

[ExpressPacer]

Are you from urdu speaking background?

Islamabad ki awaam bhi Urdu kay adaab say waqif hai muhtarim. Nastaleeq urdu mei guftagoo sirf Karachi ki galiyon tak mehdood nahi.

 

[Hasan123]

Abbas should have been tried in LO when he was on his hot streak. I fear he may not be a ODI bowler and Inzi may select him for the WC.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Shoaib has got quite slow in the field now with age catching up on him.

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

"samaj se balatar"...... its used often in my house but not heard it outside.

Haha usually we dont use it at home but i like to use some mushkil Urdu words in my messages.

I think express pacer is also from Islamabad so i quoted him with this phrase as he would understand.

 

[Shafi]

Hope Yasir and Abbas will be hammered otherwise Inzi will select them for World Cup squad

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Poor from Imad

 

[Syed1]

Islamabad ki awaam bhi Urdu kay adaab say waqif hai muhtarim. Nastaleeq urdu mei guftagoo sirf Karachi ki galiyon tak mehdood nahi.

Beshaq

 

[castortroy]

Will be anoher breeze of a shade for the Aussies

 

[ExpressPacer]

Hasnain looks built like a tank. Good to see. Will be great if he continues to pack up on lean muscle cause he certainly has a good body.

 

[Hasan123]

Imad isn’t a frontline spinner.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Aussies have made up nicely and easily after the maiden first over.

 

[castortroy]

Yes Khawaja locked in for a ton

 

[Hasan123]

What a turnaround by Khawaja in LO. Didn’t see this coming a few months ago.

 

[Chokli]

Abbas should have been tried in LO when he was on his hot streak. I fear he may not be a ODI bowler and Inzi may select him for the WC.

it's almost as if he wants pakistan to do horribly and wants to achieve that very subtly.

 

[TeymurBlake]

Australia are making this look easy

 

[yasir]

Why the hell they did not gave new ball to Hussian

 

[Deewana Mastana]

71mph Abbas

 

[IAJ]

Poor bowling! Khawaja playing with them.

 

[Chokli]

Imad isn’t a frontline spinner.

of course he isn't... we all knew that

blame mickey and inzi for not selecting a decent spinner

 

[Syed1]

Looks easy for Aus.... zero penetration by bowlers
