Afghanistan defeat Pakistan by three wickets in World Cup 2019 warm-up match

They are batting as situation requires.... tuk tuk and single double followed by odd boundary. Lack of penetration by bowlers is worrying.
 
Akhtar was a sight man, from his run up to delivery. Beautiful bowling and his celebration, what a superstar he was. Still haven’t seen any international bowler who can give me goosebumps like he did

I think, he'll definitely match DK Lillee in that regard; but Lille at his pomp was some thing else to watch. Marshall & Imran as well, but Lillee was Lillee.
 
Problem of Pak bowling has been that in recent times they havent been able to bowl 2-5 good overs in a go to create some pressure.
 
Pathetic from Hasnain as expected... but doesn't matter atleast he clocked 150
 
Lol, pacer bowling on a turning wicket, shaba’ captaan
 
Pakistan badly need a good bowling coach , azhar mehmood is ruining our bowlers. Where are the yorkers?
 
Hes bowling with some serious gas.. His slowest delivery till now has been 89 mph(excluding the slower ball) .. Three balls out of 12 at 150kmph..
 
PCT management should officially ban Sarfraz to take part any decision on reviews - let that burden to be carried by Hafeez.
 
Man, at least against England I could understand, but cant believe we are about to lose to Afghanistan
 
Pakistan needs to forget about pace and draft in an additional spinner. Pace has got us nowhere..
 
I can live with losing against Afghanistan but seeing Sarfraz depressed after every ball makes my blood boil, i dunno why.
 
All our fast bowlers have forgotten how to take wickets or control runs. It's like a bunch of malfunctioning bowling machines.
 
Just need one win. It's like the team forgot how to do it.

And I don't remember what it feels like to win. :sanga
 
Pacers need to realize that batsmen now a days practice in front of 90mph bowls from bowling machines every day. Unless there is proper direction pace is useless.
 
I expect Wahab to bowl better in this spell - ball is older and he is well warmed up now.
 
This tournament will be like a long version of the 2013 Champions Trophy.
 
I am not sure how many ball went to keeper. Batsmen are super comfortable against all the bowlers. Only wicket was a result of over-ambitious shot from the batsman.
 
I can live with losing against Afghanistan but seeing Sarfraz depressed after every ball makes my blood boil, i dunno why.

So Sarfraz over Pakistan?

Sarfraz is a dumb captain, had a physique of an uncle and bats like a 12 year old.
 
Maybe Imad and Hasan haven't bowled yet because they already have alot of match practice?
 
Hasnain to need find a lenght for his pace also need to work on toe crushers
If he can sharpen his arsenal

Then imagine an onsong Hasan Wahab Hasnain #:121
 
Something in the pitch for spinners, but nothing for pacers, margin for error are extremely small. There’s nothing better in cricket than seeing a fast bowler getting purchase and equally seeing a batsman play a good cricket stroke against it, when there’s no balance and batsman are swiping against the line it’s not nice to view in my opinion.
 
Mickey and Inzi are sitting together and laughing, would love to hear the joke. :yk2
 
People keep saying that, but what good is that? It's useless, if anything it's easier for batsmen to hit him.

He will learn the other skills by time. If we have a better bowling coach, he can work on him. I have no hopes from Azhar Mehmood
 
The worst ball gets a wicket, what luck! We're gonna need a lot more of such luck to take this game close.
 
Not gonna lie to you but I hate losing to Afghanistan more than India.
 
Pacers are missing a trick by not bowling full, I’ve not seen one proper drive shot from AFG.
