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

[Ashraful_Rox]

He bowled 140s in early spell

I haven’t seen 140, it was low 130

 

[Mp812]

I still think Amir can average 140. He's holding back.

Holding back since 2017 ???

 

[Rayyman]

Srilanka is making a fist of a tough chase. I think they will just fall short.

Rabada is trash lol. Most overrated bowler I can remember.

 

[hur rizvi]

He is recovering from chicken pox, I am surprised he is still operating at a decent pace. I’ll see how Jhy operates, he will lose pace by atleast 10kph

He bowls this pace now nothing to do with chicken pox

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Hasmatullah is a smart cricketer, bats like Mahmudullah

 

[Jill Sandwich™]

If Najibullah is playing we're screwed. That guy is Andre Russell 2.0.

More like Afridi 2.0, either he screws you or screws his own team.

 

[Syed1]

Shaheen garbage Afridi starts with 2 wides

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

He bowls this pace now nothing to do with chicken pox

There is nothing in it for the pacers, can’t blame Amir brother. But safraz’s captaincy has been mediocre

 

[Plumb]

wide????????????? seriously??

 

[Syed1]

Can't believe this guy was touted as the next coming of Wasim or something

 

[Green Patriot]

Shaheen is back

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

This is poor bowling man

 

[Syed1]

Another wide.... Mashallah

 

[Mehndi155]

Why hasn't hassan bowled?

 

[Plumb]

Shaheen what is wrong with you man

 

[Syed1]

Releasing all the pressure built up over the last 3 overs

 

[Jill Sandwich™]

My god this guy is trash...

 

[hur rizvi]

There is nothing in it for the pacers, can’t blame Amir brother. But safraz’s captaincy has been mediocre

Nothing or not we are a team with 10 straight losses

If that fact doesn’t spur them to give their all I don’t know what will

 

[Green Patriot]

Hasan hasnt bowled today?

 

[King-Misbah]

Saifi should be allowed to listen to the commentary.

No point as he wont understand English.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Oh man I remember the times when Abdul Razzaq could rattle strong batting line ups and now are the times when we don’t see Pakistan bowlers bowling a magic spell

 

[Syed1]

Crap captaincy to bring back Crapeen Afridi

 

[x_KINGKHAN_x]

What is wrong with Shaheen man, garbage

 

[MMHS]

SRL is making quite a match of SAF, from a poor (10/2) start. Now 165/3 after 28, chasing 337, tough but not impossible.

 

[hur rizvi]

Shahen has lost his way big time

 

[AdamM97]

Shaheen

 

[pratiktc]

Imad's fitness and fielding is truly a disgrace. You'd think that a player like him would be slogging 24x7 in gym and practice to become a brilliant fielder to make up for his fairly average primary skillsets.

Look at someone like Jadeja who arguably had equal/lesser batting bowling skills. He has always kept his fielding and fitness world class to keep himself relevant in ODIs.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Nothing or not we are a team with 10 straight losses

If that fact doesn’t spur them to give their all I don’t know what will

Inshallah after Ramadan Pakistan will shine

Fasting can take a toll on you sometimes

 

[Shaddy86]

What's sarfaraz doing?? Every time spinners put pressure on he brings in a pacer to release it. Shaheen out of all the bowlers? Why hasn't Hasan Ali bowled yet?

 

[slice]

Ah..bit of pressure from the spinnners,Shaheen comes back..wides all over the place and a boundary.Just what we needed.

 

[AdamM97]

And to believe that people believed Sarfraz was almost as good as Imran Khan at captaincy...

 

[Plumb]

Mickey: Faheem is the Klusener
Shaheen in few years he ll be the best( ya we see glimpse of it now)
Babar is worldclass
Shadab is the best leggie in world.

Our winning streak.. I mean losing streak 10-0..
Thanks Mickey

 

[Green Patriot]

No point as he wont understand English.

Then commentators should translate for him

 

[Cricket World]

Where is our bowling coach ND what is he doing

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Amir, Wahab, Hasnain and Hasan Ali will be my pick against West Indies

 

[Rayyman]

And Imad is 2x as good as Jadeja in ODIs )

Yea he should get fitter but this was a stupid post.

 

[nosundries]

Oh man I remember the times when Abdul Razzaq could rattle strong batting line ups and now are the times when we don’t see Pakistan bowlers bowling a magic spell

Ya remember a game against Sri Lanka when Razzaq out of nowhere won the game with his bowling ..

 

[Green Patriot]

Inshallah after Ramadan Pakistan will shine

Fasting can take a toll on you sometimes

They aren't fasting but ok

 

[jnaveen1980]

Rabada is trash lol. Most overrated bowler I can remember.

yes he doesn't have the guile that a top ODI bowler needs to have. He is a good bowler .But can be targeted.

 

[Swing]

Shaheen having a very bad day. Afghanistan look like a strong ODI side now.

 

[Syed1]

10 runs of Crappy Afridi's over

 

[Plumb]

We not wining this.. sorry..

 

[MMHS]

Shaheen's last chance to make WC debut against WIN - probably already has lost his spot to Wahab, but couple of wickets can change equation; bowled absolute filth today.

 

[Green Patriot]

10 runs given when RRR is 4 odd.

Shaba Shaheen.

 

[Syed1]

Shaheen having a very bad day. Afghanistan look like a strong ODI side now.

Yeah fourth bad day in a row for crappy Afridi, 10-80, 10-83, 10-82 and now 4-44.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Man I wanted Pakistan to dent Afghan confidence, now we are going to get a beating of a lifetime

 

[jnaveen1980]

Shaheen's last chance to make WC debut against WIN - probably already has lost his spot to Wahab, but couple of wickets can change equation; bowled absolute filth today.

At this point he relies purely on angle.

 

[ekpakistani]

Hard to understand the ploy here.. If kaptaan wants to bring pacers to pick wickets.. At least give them a slip

 

[hur rizvi]

Shaheen's last chance to make WC debut against WIN - probably already has lost his spot to Wahab, but couple of wickets can change equation; bowled absolute filth today.

Yeah his chances of starting in windies game are gone

It’s amazing how quickly he has regressed

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Ya remember a game against Sri Lanka when Razzaq out of nowhere won the game with his bowling ..

Oh man in Sharjah, those were the times i was glued to the telly on every Pakistan match. Those swings and razzaq’s expression

 

[AdamM97]

Hard to understand the ploy here.. If kaptaan wants to bring pacers to pick wickets.. At least give them a slip

Kaptaan is as clueless as the rest. On top of that, he looks depressed.

 

[Plumb]

Shaheen to continue??? Are you kidding me Sarfi??

 

[imshally81]

Harsh call

 

[Ahmed216]

Why this lad is bowling short and wide?? Incredibly poor from shaheen

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

How is that a wide ? Omg

 

[Mehndi155]

Sack azhar why we are bowling bouncers

 

[Syed1]

Pathetic captaincy to keep bowling Shaheen

 

[AdamM97]

Wide

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Giving ball to the run machine again. Best captain for you.

 

[slice]

so,what happened to all that talk of how our batters will "teach Rashid Khan his place" ?
I would be surprised if Pakistan win even a single game in this whole tournament.
Yes I get it,batsmen seem to have improved somewhat,scoring 340 agasint England does need some application but the problem is this bowling unit has not even a single positive.Not in this game,nor in the England ODI series.

 

[Green Patriot]

Yar Sarfaraz is actually dumb or he acts like one?

Why is he risking with Shaheen when its clearly not his day.

 

[Syed1]

I'm surprised Hasan hasn't been given the bowl

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

They aren't fasting but ok

Astagfirullah brother. Sarfraz is fasting

 

[Ilan Bluestone]

I didn't see Babar's batting. Good innings? Or selfish?

 

[jnaveen1980]

With their gun hitter back in the pavilion with injury Pakistan should have nailed this one. They can still win it. But bowling is largely toothless

 

[sindhiboy]

these wide calls have been ridiculous

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Yar Sarfaraz is actually dumb or he acts like one?

Why is he risking with Shaheen when its clearly not his day.

He is trying to be Imran Khan of 1992. He thinks shaheen can take double hatrick.

 

[imshally81]

Great Yorker

Rashid Khan is a 8/10 player at best. Playing with poor teams doesn’t make you the best. Fakhar also looks good whenever he plays against zimbabwe and scotland.

 

[IAJ]

He was so good in SA, Shaheen. But now just a shadow of the bowler he was.

 

[fnabi81]

Shaheen is seriously overrated

 

[Syed1]

When Shaheen first emerged he actually looked threatening, but then Azhar Mahmood waved his magic wand and we have a fazul hit-me bowler.

 

[imshally81]

Good over

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

I will pick 3 spinners against Afghanistan. They are excellent against Pace

 

[ExpressPacer]

Shaheen has bowled decent pace today.

 

[hur rizvi]

First Yorker

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

I didn't see Babar's batting. Good innings? Or selfish?

Wickets kept falling on the other end but he was calm under pressure. All the batsmen except babar struggled against spin including Hafeez, Malik and Sarfaraz.

Anyways people will call it selfish innings because he didn't score with 200 sr.

 

[IAJ]

Clarke with a valid point: some of these Afghans have been playing IPL so they will be used to handle the preassure well.

 

[AdamM97]

Need 63 from 72. Could’ve been 80-90 from 72 if Shaheen had bowled sensiby.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Looks like Sarfraz wants to Shaheen to be in the starting XI. That is why he is giving him more chances
