Afghanistan v Pakistan | 2nd T20I | Sharjah | 26 March 2023 | Pakistan Innings

[IAJ]

What a poor innings

 

[Justcrazy]

60 . 4

Afghanistan doing well here

 

[Rana]

I ask again, which genius thought it was a good idea to select Tayyab Tahir?

He’s an Aamir Sohail pick

“There are plenty of players who can play at 3 but they need to be tested”

 

[zarak]

Haan haan he’s opening the innings like your idols RizBar

acha but he better not slow down post 40.

 

[cricketkashmir]

are some of the posters here for real? you peeps do realize this is a meaningless series in which we are trying young blood... afg can wim this stupid series 3-0, it wont mean a thing, but it will give some of these youngsters much needed game time... and yes it stinks that the kids havent really gone hot, but that is the whole point, let them get a taste, get a feel, get that understanding of hard work needed in the domestics. So, please stop dreaming about babar and rizwan etc, when we play a proper series they will be back, and afg wont beat our main side...

Perfectly put. This series is not important. Probably all were excited to see the younger crop perform, which sadly hasn't. But we should give it to them. It's their first series against a very experienced T20 side

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

Karim Janat gets his revenge

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Azam Khan special is coming, i back this kid he is some hitter if he work on his weight. Where is ifti chacha.

 

[CricVet]

I would not judge ANY of the players on this GOBAR pitch.

 

[nextover666666]

Chacha in squad but not playing

 

[PakPremi]

Tayyib Tahir played a Talat Hussain or Khushdil type inning.

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Pak need 140.

 

[zarak]

He’s an Aamir Sohail pick

“There are plenty of players who can play at 3 but they need to be tested”

pretty sure I saw you select him in some team of the tournaments

 

[imshally81]

Azam khan in the middle

 

[imshally81]

Rashid vs Azam

 

[nextover666666]

Azam khan if you prove me wrong today i will ve more than happy for you

 

[Rana]

Imad best player of spin in this team

 

[castortroy]

Pak batters always sheet themselves when playing rashid

 

[ammar_merry]

LOL talent

 

[Third Man]

I would not judge ANY of the players on this GOBAR pitch.

Completely agree. Some of reaction on this forum has been very knee jerk and childish. These are the worst pitches to give a debut to such strokemakers. Having said that, Tayyab Tahir isn't good enough. I've always maintained that.

 

[Rana]

Useless

 

[castortroy]

Wow these batters are horrific

 

[Kroll]

Being schooled here by Afg what a joke.

 

[imshally81]

Azam gone

 

[zarak]

yaar this is so embarassing

 

[castortroy]

Batting on those pathetic pak pitches has no relevance

 

[ammar_merry]

Rashid vs Azam

One is great t20 bolwer other is just

 

[IAJ]

Lol Azam

 

[Markhor]

Azam looked all at sea against Rashid.

 

[emranabbas]

This is low scoring ground
140 is an average 1st innings score
And 118 2nd innings score

We just need to get to 130

 

[imshally81]

We need at least 120 runs here

 

[nextover666666]

Azam can play spin apparently.......he should NEVER play for Pakistan

 

[Ahmed216]

Rashid vs Azam

To be fair to Azam it was David vs Goliath

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Hold on i was hyping him and he cant even play single ball.

 

[cricketkashmir]

The Pakistanis in the crowd signalling to Azam Khan to go and eat crazy

 

[Hextro]

Lol, what a pathetic batting lineup.

 

[PakPremi]

Azam khan has been horrible in all chances he has got in internationals.

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Can someone smash Rashid…I wish chachu was here.

 

[hitthestump]

Anyone but Babar and Rizwan though guys ))

 

[topspin]

S/R 126 lol.

We are happy with minnow results all of a sudden.

Babar's strike rate was less than 100 in the 2022 WT20 and Rizwan's was 109.

If I was a Rizbar cheerleader, I certainly wouldn't be knocking Imad's effort here.

 

[nextover666666]

Can someone smash Rashid…I wish chachu was here.

People were laughing when I said Chacha should be playing today

 

[ammar_merry]

Azam khan has been horrible in all chances he has got in internationals.

He is not intl quality.

 

[CricVet]

Completely agree. Some of reaction on this forum has been very knee jerk and childish. These are the worst pitches to give a debut to such strokemakers. Having said that, Tayyab Tahir isn't good enough. I've always maintained that.

Yes. However, I am upset at whoever is responsible for putting unnecessary pressure on the rookies for batting first on this garbage

 

[Fazzy321]

PSL tailunts lol

 

[ammar_merry]

Yes. However, I am upset at whoever is responsible for putting unnecessary pressure on the rookies for batting first on this garbage

Will not matter much. They will be all out 50 batting second as well.

 

[Hextro]

Babar's strike rate was less than 100 in the 2022 WT20 and Rizwan's was 109.

If I was a Rizbar cheerleader, I certainly wouldn't be knocking Imad's effort here.

Imad averages 13 in T20Is.

 

[hitthestump]

Babar's strike rate was less than 100 in the 2022 WT20 and Rizwan's was 109.

If I was a Rizbar cheerleader, I certainly wouldn't be knocking Imad's effort here.

If all else fails, bring up the world cup for the umpteenth time.

Take this humiliation and swallow it. You were wrong about Babar and Rizwan and that is ok, but you need to come to terms with it already.

 

[Justcrazy]

64 . 5

Pakistan getting into more trouble.

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Can we make 100 this time ? Would be an embarrassing not scoring 100 against minnows.

 

[zarak]

Babar's strike rate was less than 100 in the 2022 WT20 and Rizwan's was 109.

If I was a Rizbar cheerleader, I certainly wouldn't be knocking Imad's effort here.

does that make 120 a good strike rate. Babar was horrible in the WC does that mean 120 is good now. Keep same standards for all.

 

[Ahmed216]

Azam ‘heir to Rizwan’ Khan. My foot

 

[CricVet]

Will not matter much. They will be all out 50 batting second as well.

Whatever you say Nostradamus

 

[PakPremi]

Atleast Imad is carrying on with his good form , and able to play according to the situation he funds himslef.

 

[topspin]

Imad averages 13 in T20Is.

Because he's been batting at 8. He averages 40+ in FC and ODIs because he's a proper batsman.

 

[ammar_merry]

Babar's strike rate was less than 100 in the 2022 WT20 and Rizwan's was 109.

If I was a Rizbar cheerleader, I certainly wouldn't be knocking Imad's effort here.

What is imad avg in intl t20l. Is it more than 15?

 

[GLORY OF '92]

If all else fails, bring up the world cup for the umpteenth time.

Take this humiliation and swallow it. You were wrong about Babar and Rizwan and that is ok, but you need to come to terms with it already.

No we weren't. These guys will win us a WC which Rizbar couldn't.

 

[AAli98]

If your going to make janats & naveens world beaters may aswell pack it in & enjoy your Micky mouse leagues!

 

[zarak]

Imads been good. Should be a permanent number 5 in all white ball formats

 

[nextover666666]

The pitch is not easy to bat and yes batting first is not easy for rookies and afghan bowling attack is strong, i want the youngsters to be persisted with and I hope they get a chance next series too (saim, abdullah and tayyab)

However Azam khan has no business wearing a Pakistan jersey

 

[PakPremi]

Azam ‘heir to Rizwan’ Khan. My foot

Rizwan is head and shoulders above everyone as a wicketkeeper batsman.

 

[ammar_merry]

does that make 120 a good strike rate. Babar was horrible in the WC does that mean 120 is good now. Keep same standards for all.

Babar has 2 centuries chasing 200. Who else have. Have some standard?

 

[nextover666666]

Imads been good. Should be a permanent number 5 in all white ball formats

Agree 1000 percent

 

[lahoriyah1234]

This series reminds me of Bangladesh 2015 series.

 

[Mankaded]

Thought Azam's dismissal was plumb but turned out to be umpires call. Probably looked plumb due to the size of his thighs.

 

[zarak]

who is this commentator

 

[Ahmed216]

Because he's been batting at 8. He averages 40+ in FC and ODIs because he's a proper batsman.

This is classic ‘Anyone but Rizwan and Babar’. Now Imad has become the guy to challenge to top ranked batsmen in the world. Incredible

 

[ammar_merry]

No we weren't. These guys will win us a WC which Rizbar couldn't.

Ok they are winning it right here.

 

[CricVet]

The pitch is not easy to bat and yes batting first is not easy for rookies and afghan bowling attack is strong, i want the youngsters to be persisted with and I hope they get a chance next series too (saim, abdullah and tayyab)

I hope the quantity of sane people like you increase in numbers on this thread

Abdullah Shafique has serious problems with lbws. He needs to get it sorted before ever appearing for Pakistan again.

 

[zarak]

Thought Azam's dismissal was plumb but turned out to be umpires call. Probably looked plumb due to the size of his thighs.

lol

 

[hamzi]

Imad's lack of running is so irritating, he is so casual with his running. Hardly jogs irrespective of whether he is out of his crease or not.

 

[Energy]

Ok they are winning it right here.

I'd say they have won it and the trophy should be handed to Pakistan already.

 

[topspin]

If all else fails, bring up the world cup for the umpteenth time.

Take this humiliation and swallow it. You were wrong about Babar and Rizwan and that is ok, but you need to come to terms with it already.

Forget last year's WT20, we can talk about Asia Cup Final and the 2021 WT20 semi-final. Who lost us those games?

They were poor in numerous important matches but you want to write off Saim Ayub, Abdullah Shafique and Haris (who had a batter 2022 WT20 than RizBar) after 2 x bilateral T20I contests on spinning wickets?

 

[castortroy]

Rashid Khan has always terrorised pak batters. Even babar is his bunny

 

[ammar_merry]

Imads been good. Should be a permanent number 5 in all white ball formats

He may end up having strike rate of less than 100 today

 

[Kianig89]

The dearth of talent in Pakistan ranks is scary,

 

[Rana]

does that make 120 a good strike rate. Babar was horrible in the WC does that mean 120 is good now. Keep same standards for all.

Is Imad the opener or Babar is?

Why would anyone criticise Babar for a low strike rate if he wasn’t opening???

 

[CricVet]

I hope Shadab makes it up for putting these rookies on a hot bed

 

[Rana]

Rashid Khan has always terrorised pak batters. Even babar is his bunny

Keys and Babar are in his pockets

 

[zarak]

You are right. But it would nice we if use the same standards for all players. If 120 is a poor strike rate then Imad is playing poor too.

 

[Justcrazy]

Rashid has again bowled well.
