Afghanistan vs Pakistan | Super Four | Asia Cup | Abu Dhabi | Sep 21, 2018 | Afghanistan Innings

[Syed1]

Lets check if that ban on Kaneria has been lifted yet or not.

He is a leg spinner

 

[Slim]

Release shot.

 

[Madplayer]

Good speed by shoaib

 

[TalhaSyed]

"Paanch ball kar ke, chota over kar rahe ho - aur phir bhi bad ball kar rahe ho" - Sarfraz to Nawaz after he bowls a half tracker

 

[Pete Rose]

Malik uncle firing it in

 

[Madplayer]

Ideal pace by shoaib on this pitch.

 

[DRsohail]

What is sarfarz doing.block singles.

 

[hussain.r97]

This Rahmatullah looks like the real deal. He has been really well organized and looks technically sound. A big contrast to the typical Afghan batsmen we have seen over the years.

 

[TalhaSyed]

Afg rotating the strike very well and not getting bogged down, whilst putting away the bad delivery. I hope Imam and Fakhar are watching

 

[Slim]

Pathetic fielding by Pakistan in this match.

 

[Pete Rose]

I think the fielders need to be a little more game aware. These batsmen are trying to rotate the stroke so that the bowlers can’t settle their lines to left or right handed batsmen. They need to move in faster.

 

[Badsha]

166.9 kmph

tundler

 

[DRsohail]

Malik is not a spinner remove him dear.

 

[castortroy]

I do miss Ajmal.

Dude would have been unplayable on these tracks

 

[Shafi]

Negative captaincy from Sarfraz. Taking the pressure away from batsmen

 

[Something]

Hasan yet to ball

 

[Usman Chadda]

Keep Nawaz on, bring in Hasan at the other end. Afghan are getting easy 1s and 2s here.

 

[Syed1]

Thanks to Inzi, Mickey and Sarf we don't even another competent spinner in the squad. Mashallah pace is pace yaar

 

[hussain.r97]

Thanks to Inzi, Mickey and Sarf we don't even another competent spinner in the squad. Mashallah pace is pace yaar

We are really missing someone like Zafar Gohar in the squad. I don't understand why they discarded him, he had a great debut against England.

 

[Syed1]

They probably thought they can only take one left arm spinner

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Hassan is finally into the attack

 

[Something]

We are really missing someone like Zafar Gohar in the squad. I don't understand why they discarded him, he had a great debut against England.

His debut was average if anything and he's not that good anyway

 

[Deewana Mastana]

What speeds is Shaheen in his first over?

Seems like nobody has interest in giving info on here.

 

[Shafi]

Looks like our bowling does not have too many variation!!!!

 

[castortroy]

You would have thought with all the cricket Pak have played in the UAE, they would have recognized that the pitches require 2 spinners

 

[Something]

Is this Amir Sohail? God, he's horrible

 

[161]

Who is this other commentator with Sohail ?

 

[castortroy]

Jadeja doing the damage for India. He is tailor made for these wickets.

Our batters will no clue against him on Sunday

 

[asadee]

Who is this other commentator with Sohail ?

Sanga

 

[BunnyRabbit]

Azhar Mahmood wasn't himself a swing bowler, he used to bowl medium pace & more of a line/length bowler who bowled wicket to wicket. Very poor decision to continue him as a coach. He clearly hasn't helped Amir.

based on this logic, if we hire AB as a coach, our batters will start playing 360 cricket shots

 

[Pete Rose]

Who is this other commentator with Sohail ?

Sangakarra. The commentary for the last 5 minutes has been quite honest.

 

[Asif321]

Wow Shadab should have been amazing here

 

[the_outsider]

Thanks to Inzi, Mickey and Sarf we don't even another competent spinner in the squad. Mashallah pace is pace yaar

Can't blame them. Do you really have any better spinners back home?

Pakistan has a lot of pacers. But they have rarely had a lot of spare spinners.

 

[GoUgandaCranes]

Can someone tell me what speed Shaheen Afridi is bowling it? I can't see a stream.

Please tell me his av speed

the fastest speed shown on the screen was 137 kph.

 

[Josh]

Seems like nobody has interest in giving info on here.

138-141 around

 

[Asif321]

Afghans slowly going towards 200

 

[Syed1]

Need a wicket ASAP. Hasan Ali is all swag

 

[Markhor]

Hopefully this Asia Cup shows the team management the necessity of spin heavy attacks this winter against AUS and NZ.

These pitches are going get slower and more worn.

 

[hussain.r97]

His debut was average if anything and he's not that good anyway

Did you even watch that game? Or are you basing this off numbers?

He was bowling beautifully, accurately, and turning it square. English batsmen had no answer to him, and he only leaked a few runs off edges. He is a classical SLA, and would have been a very useful option. Can also bat too.

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

*Turns on TV in anticipation to see Pakistan's fierce bowling attack in action.
Shoaib Malik and Haris Sohail bowling in the 16th over.

 

[hussain.r97]

Seems like nobody has interest in giving info on here.

High 130s.

 

[Something]

This Younis Khan lookalike is pretty good

 

[Slim]

the fastest speed shown on the screen was 137 kph.

What? My own eyes saw 138 KPH. And he was bowling around 138-141 KPH.

 

[Asif321]

Can't blame them. Do you really have any better spinners back home?

Pakistan has a lot of pacers. But they have rarely had a lot of spare spinners.

Imad and hafeez would have been fine . But you need fitness

 

[ARK Rafay]

Who is this other commentator with Sohail ?

Sanga

 

[Arham_PakFan]

What a delivery by Hassan

 

[Markhor]

Can't blame them. Do you really have any better spinners back home?

Pakistan has a lot of pacers. But they have rarely had a lot of spare spinners.

I don't think we need the next Saqlain or Murali on these wickets.

Nawaz is a fairly average spinner but even he can be lethal on these dry UAE surfaces.

We have spinners like Gohar, Asghar and Raza who have good domestic records that can come in.

 

[Madplayer]

Hasan Ali finding that in bewteen length. Is he back in form?

 

[Shafi]

What happened to Hasan Ali??? Lost all his energy and passion

 

[Asif321]

Pakistan need quick wickets

 

[Syed1]

Runs coming

 

[hussain.r97]

Hassan bowling well. Needs to keep attacking at that length, a wicket will come.

 

[Asif321]

What happened to Hasan Ali??? Lost all his energy and passion

Stardom

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Good aggression by Hassan

 

[the_outsider]

Imad and hafeez would have been fine . But you need fitness

Imad is not an improvement at all. And I thought most people were done with Hafeez.

 

[Something]

Did you even watch that game? Or are you basing this off numbers?

He was bowling beautifully, accurately, and turning it square. English batsmen had no answer to him, and he only leaked a few runs off edges. He is a classical SLA, and would have been a very useful option. Can also bat too.

I watched the game and I think he was inconsistent and a bit wayward. He doesn't turn the ball at all. I'd rather have Asghar in the team over him.

 

[Slim]

Good field placement.

 

[Madplayer]

Can't blame them. Do you really have any better spinners back home?

Pakistan has a lot of pacers. But they have rarely had a lot of spare spinners.

Usama mir
Irfan khan
Zafar Gohar
Kamran Ghulam
Asghar

From the top of my mind there are quite a few options for spinners.

 

[Slim]

Stardom

LOL. The pitches are simply not conducive. He is bowling with good line and length.

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

There was a time Pakistan was all about taking wickets.

Low run rate is not a problem for Afghanistan at the moment - but only 2 wickets is a problem for Pakistan.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Decent fielding by Imam once again

 

[Fahdi]

What is up with all these missfielding?

 

[Something]

What is up with all these missfielding?

Midfielders? You watching football, bruv?

 

[Madplayer]

Hasan Ali is back in form. You heard it here first. I think he has learned his lesson. You will see good performances from him now.

 

[Shafi]

What a poor bowling by our bowlers!!!!! India already got 5 wickets in 18 overs.

 

[Syed1]

Hasan Ali is back in form. You heard it here first. I think he has learned his lesson. You will see good performances from him now.

Where are the wickets? If just keeping it tight is back in form then even Amir was keeping it tight.

 

[Usman Chadda]

What are Haris and Malik doing with the ball that Faheem couldn’t? Both have been duds, easily negotiated by the Afghans so far.

 

[Slim]

What a poor bowling by our bowlers!!!!! India already got 5 wickets in 18 overs.

I dont know how you are comparing the two matches? Two entirely different oppositions, two different pitches.

You are best at wrist slitting.

 

[Syed1]

What are Haris and Malik doing with the ball that Faheem couldn’t? Both have been duds, easily negotiated by the Afghans so far.

Stupid team selection... still angry that they dropped Fahim but kept parchee ul haq

 

[Usman Chadda]

Stupid team selection... still angry that they dropped Fahim but kept parchee ul haq

Massive panic.

 

[Madplayer]

Where are the wickets? If just keeping it tight is back in form then even Amir was keeping it tight.

Its not about the economy rate. You will see what i am talking about soon.

 

[Fahdi]

Did you guys notice how flat the throw from Shaheen was from the boundary? Thudded into Sarfraz's gloves. Good stuff

 

[Usman Chadda]

Parchee ul haq doing a Shehzad today. Diving over straightforward collections and mucking them up too

 

[Shafi]

I dont know how you are comparing the two matches? Two entirely different oppositions, two different pitches.

You are best at wrist slitting.

Regardless both team has almost same strength. Except India has better bowlers

Yeah but none of them are any better than who are already in the squad. That's my point.

 

[Madplayer]

Imam has misfielded ateast three times today. I wonder if it has something to do with his glasses and vision problems.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Yeah but none of them are any better than who are already in the squad. That's my point.

Coming from someone who thinks Nawaz is a part-timer, I would pass on this bit of analysis thanks.

 

[Madplayer]

Yeah but none of them are any better than who are already in the squad. That's my point.

All of them are better spinners than the ones in the squad. The ones in the squad are all rounders while the ones i mentioned are specialists.

 

[Pete Rose]

They need to keep it tight and wickets will come.

 

[Syed1]

Imam has misfielded ateast three times today. I wonder if it has something to do with his glasses and vision problems.

He knows he can get away with anything as long as chachu is chief selector
