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

[SarfiBabarHaris]

He waits for things to happen. It was criminal how Khawaja was able to milk Imad so easily. Should have given him the chance to go over the top, specially over mid-on and mid-off.

Same old Malik though. I remember how his captaincy was similar to this back in 2008-09. Sarfraz is no flash when it comes to captaincy either, but he is much more proactive than Malik.

Makes you wonder why he is rated so highly as captain and why was he called the best captain by majority after 4th odi against SA.

Imo only having good PR and giving nice press conferences isnt enough to be a captain for Pakistan.

 

[Titan24]

Sharjah has been really good for batting, hopefully in Abu Dhabi and Dubai our bowling might get some of its teeth back

 

[Hasan123]

Lol if Finch or Khawaja wanted to, they could up the ante.

 

[Kroll]

Aussies have barely broken sweat and already approaching hundred with no loss in less than 20 overs.

 

[Titan24]

Captain is standing on the boundary

 

[Titan24]

Atlast some change

 

[Hasan123]

The usual suspects doing banghra over Sarfraz captaincy will be ducking for cover when he is throughly exposed. How Malik is today is how Sarfaraz is when things aren’t going well.

 

[Markhor]

Pakistan have been horrible in UAE ODIs against top sides.

 

[Hasan123]

We have gotten Finch back into form.

 

[Bewal Express]

Finch treating Haris the way Haris should have but didn't treat him.

 

[Titan24]

Hopefully we can get better team management post WC as surely this one doesnt have a lot or plans

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Sarfraz is a good LOI captain but he's absolutely garbage at Test captaincy.

Cant disagree much with you as his captaincy has been not upto the mark in test matches till now and we lost few matches where i believe we would have won the matches if he had shown responsibility and tactical aptitude as a test captain.

 

[Justcrazy]

Aussies racing on here

 

[Hasan123]

Finch is better in LO than any current Pakistani player not named Babar.

 

[yasir]

Mickey has made mess of Pakistan team like he did with Karachi. He does not know how to use resources nor how to pick one. Deano is far better coach, I dong want to see Mickey with national team after WC.

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Aik wicket to lai lo yar lol.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Wow we look awful

 

[Mamoon]

8 consecutive ODI defeats against New Zealand, India and Bangladesh, and people still rate Sarfaraz’s captaincy.

 

[Chokli]

this series win and thrashing will give australia false confidence going into the world cup.

 

[Hasan123]

Aaron Finch well and truly back into form.

 

[Titan24]

Flat bowling from Yasir with no flight or spin what so ever

 

[shah_1]

Malik is such a lethargic captain

Should given a youngster a chance

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Yasir Shah is extremely pathetic.

When will the torture end?

 

[Green Patriot]

Yasir

 

[shah_1]

8 consecutive ODI defeats against New Zealand, India and Bangladesh, and people still rate Sarfaraz’s captaincy.

Still better than Malik.

 

[Hasan123]

8 consecutive ODI defeats against New Zealand, India and Bangladesh, and people still rate Sarfaraz’s captaincy.

We’ll see how great his captaincy when we play England lol. Watch these same people blame everything other than his captaincy.

 

[Boi]

Come on man fly out another spinner.

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

I want Yasir to go for 100 runs atleast. So that our selectors can't even think of including in ODI's.

 

[castortroy]

Hopefully the last we will see of Yasir shah in odi cricket

 

[TeymurBlake]

Finch just hopefully ended Yasir's match

 

[iPakistani]

I dont ever want to see Yasir playing for Pakistans ODI side again.

 

[a_tahir]

I want Yasir to go for 100 runs atleast. So that our selectors can't even think of including in ODI's.

After the last match they weren’t

 

[xricket]

We are sacrificing a series to find a better combination for world cup. World cup is a bigger target to focus

 

[Titan24]

Inzi, Mickey, Azhar, Flower all need to go after the WC

 

[Chokli]

why announce the squad for the full series?

why not have a squad for the first two matches and then one for the last three...similar to what other countries tend to do.

 

[Omer2002]

haris looks miles better than imad and yasir...i said it b4 sharjah are chasing ground two tosses Nd you bat first

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Mickey has made mess of Pakistan team like he did with Karachi. He does not know how to use resources nor how to pick one. Deano is far better coach, I dong want to see Mickey with national team after WC. ������

My main criticism on Mickey is why didnt he push for Umer Khan's selection for UAE matches? Umer was under his watch all season and he was ok with non-spinners like Yasir and Imad? How can we win matches in UAE without a proper spinner. He has been our coach for 3 years now and know UAE well but this mistake is childish.

I am not saying Umer would have set the world on fire but atleast we could have seen a proper spinner who might have impressed to make a case for world cup.

 

[Titan24]

We are sacrificing a series to find a better combination for world cup. World cup is a bigger target to focus

If you have no planning or tactics, no matter what combination you find you are gonna struggle

 

[yasir]

Mickey saw up close how good Umer Khan bowl in PSL. Side by side there was day light difference between Umer and Immad. How can you not see this??

How can we keep playing Yasir and Immad as main spinners??

Zafar, Umer are far better than these two. I don’t get why we went back to Yasir, sane old rotten senior culture of Pakistan, playing Abbas and Yasir

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

We are sacrificing a series to find a better combination for world cup. World cup is a bigger target to focus

But we didnt select the players for that bigger target atleast in bowling department.

 

[a_tahir]

We are sacrificing a series to find a better combination for world cup. World cup is a bigger target to focus

How naive can u be?
If sharan was here he would have gotten smacked like yasir as well. It would have not been much different with our ‘a’ team.

 

[DRsohail]

Yasir Shah thank you Inzi i do not deserve it.

 

[castortroy]

I said before this series as soon as I saw the squad selected that this was going to be a landslide for Australia

What because Abbas and Yasir did well in the test against Australia we thought that we would trouble them on the flat tracks of Sharjah

 

[Mamoon]

We deserve this humiliation.

 

[Plumb]

I havent commented on this topic till now but Malik's captaincy has been totally uninspiring till now.

Makes you miss Sarfraz. Atleast you can hear him from behind the stumps and get a feeling that aa serious international match is on.

U just noticed?? SA says hi..

 

[Titan24]

Mickey saw up close how good Umer Khan bowl in PSL. Side by side there was day light difference between Umer and Immad. How can you not see this??

To be honest Mickey hasnt done anything right as a coach. Won the CT based upon true brilliance from Hassan Ali and some other new guys who got into the side only bcz of PSL, mickey had no role in finding them.

 

[castortroy]

Humiliated by India in the Asia cup and another humiliation at the hands of Australia

 

[Hasan123]

Sarfaraz wouldn’t be able to stop this on slaught.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

We have no hope watsover in the world cup

 

[Mamoon]

Looking forward to seeing how many trees we uproot in the World Cup. Champions Trophy fluke is long gone.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Rubbish bowling attack

 

[Green Patriot]

Oh dear this is so disheartening.

 

[Hasan123]

Khawaja just giving the strike to Finch. Clever batting.

 

[Afhan Ali]

Inzi! Yasir is not the only leg spinner in pakistan. Usama Mir, Muhammad Irfan and Ibtesham sheikh is also leg spinners.

 

[a_tahir]

Humiliated by India in the Asia cup and another humiliation at the hands of Australia

With ind 8 wicket loss then 9.
This looks the same.

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Who is a better spinner, Imad or Haris?

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Batting till bowling amateur

 

[Hasan123]

There is no issue in loosing, but loosing without fight is pathetic.

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Yasir will play all 5 matches and might retire from ODI cricket considering his future chances.

 

[Asif321]

Why we bat again first ?

 

[Justcrazy]

Very good batting by Aussies , they are back for WC

 

[ILcricket]

another 1 sided game .

 

[Plumb]

Those who saying we ll do pathetic in WC should drink a cold glass of water and put some on their face as well.

WC is a different ball game this series been screwed by selection/resting players and captain.

 

[Mamoon]

Nothing would have changed had we played our so-called first team. Had we rested our players for the Asia Cup, we would have been told that our main team would have won us the cup.

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

U just noticed?? SA says hi..

Haha no just commented now.

Even before SA we knew.

 

[Green Patriot]

Is anybody going to take the first wicket???

 

[Justcrazy]

Inzamam was poor as captain , and now even worse as coach

 

[Chokli]

even bangladesh would have put up a better fight

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Who is a better spinner, Imad or Haris?

Lol Imad is not spinner compared to Haris tbh

 

[Hasan123]

Finch may tear into Faheem.

 

[xricket]

If team is unable to pick wickets, may be we should blame bowling coach. No?

 

[Usman Chadda]

Nothing would have changed had we played our so-called first team. Had we rested our players for the Asia Cup, we would have been told that our main team would have won us the cup.

There was a series against New Zealand right after the Asia Cup. Take a look and get back to us here.

 

[Mamoon]

We are a rubbish minnow bashing team. Accept it. The T20 drama was put to rest in South Africa as well. Yes I know we were without the master tactician.

 

[a_tahir]

How can one be THIS bad??

 

[Titan24]

Looking forward to seeing how many trees we uproot in the World Cup. Champions Trophy fluke is long gone.

With Mickey as coach and some other free riders in the team management I dont think this team can do much.

I believe we are really underachieving considering some players we have are pretty decent.

 

[fluke]

its going to be no less than 5 - 0 inshAllah

 

[Afhan Ali]

Is it so heartbroken to see Pakistani team been humiliated so badly.
We Pakistani also needs some victories.

 

[Chokli]

even the commentators are bored

 

[Nazir_ Rules]

Where are the people crying about Amir not being able to take a wicket in the first game. Who here looks like taking a wicket, please do tell me.

 

[Hasan123]

A big 100 is there for Finch.
