Asia Cup 2023: Super 4: Pakistan vs India | 10-11 September | Colombo | India innings

[adi_62941]

Keep same players meaningless matches to worn them out. Does Micky have any say in selection or it just Babar?

Nope. Babar controls everything

 

[RexRex]

What's the weather forecast for the rest of the game ?

 

[AAli98]

Imam and Babar should bat with a healthy strike rate today. This pitch is ideal for batting. No excuses will be accepted.

Both won’t be batting rain coming Pak keep travelling to Lanka just to giv lnd batting practice

 

[King_Babar]

Babar curiously finding faces who can just roll the arms. Lost completely !

 

[hamzie]

C'mon rain yaar

 

[adi_62941]

I don't know who you are. This is the first time I'm seeing your post, but it is enough for me to know that you don't know what you are talking about.

You cannot have a solid ODI team when Shadab is your premier spinner.

Shadab is not that bad as you are portraying. Any player can have a bad match. He has performed well in matches and produced match winning performance. I will never ever take usama or abrar instead of shadab as he can bat and field well also.

 

[Major]

soo dark, anymoement rain will come down

 

[AAli98]

Shadab saves 12 runs in boundaries every game. But in response he gives away six 6’s when bowling (ontop of his run a ball 60 off 10)…

 

[Major]

he is bad. I used to defend shadab around here, but i saw hi stats other day against every side. He avgs above 30 agianst every side in odi. Thats terrible

 

[NeVerMind]

Even if we make the final now, with this game raine doff India will be so used to our bowling that they will smash us...we, on the other hand, will have had no exposure to the Indian bowling attack...

 

[FearlessRoar]

KL Rahul looking lethal. Pakistani spinners are struggling

 

[MP2011]

He is useless. For every knock of this type, he'll have ten failures.

This. If we have still not understood this then there is something wrong with our cricketing intelligence.

 

[Major]

delay tactics by babar azam, he wants rain to save him. Pathetic

 

[Rana]

Rizwan pandering up to Kohli

Like he does with Babar

 

[mominsaigol]

Once again everyone is pressing the panic button. Just relax. Pace bowling isn't an issue I'm telling you, and India isn't that great.

These posers will struggle especially with rohit and kholi in proper pitches in the world cup.

Shadab is a big problem though. Genuinely needs to be replaced with imad waseem but we know that won't happen.

 

[Major]

Babar clearly wants to get off....
3 overs of spinner needs to be bowled

 

[FearlessRoar]

Shadab has improved his batting skills , but bowling display has gotten worst. Pakistan need a specialist spinner in squad for world cup

 

[U$ofA]

Spin seems to be a problem for Pakistan. Is it too late to make a change?

 

[kron]

400 incoming

Calm down. 400. This is kl Rahul and kohli. Will be lucky if it's 320.

 

[King_Babar]

Shadab has improved his batting skills , but bowling display has gotten worst. Pakistan need a specialist spinner in squad for world cup

What is his batting average vs SENA+India ?

 

[BunnyRabbit]

Seems like heavy rain will arrive in Colombo looking at the clouds.
Pak overs will get reduced if play is able to go on after rain.

 

[Thanos]

Pak fans worrying about KL. Indians fans too worried after his performance today. The mental midget will play next 10 matches and going to fail miserably in pressure situations.

 

[PakPremi]

Faheem has done his job well, only if he was able to take a wicket. Last three overonly one lucky boundary for Kohli.

 

[mominsaigol]

Guys India is not that dangerous. Look at the gane through 2 lenses.

After this garbage Asia cup boils over, do you seriously think with kholi's current form, a guy who's struggling to score on a batting paradise pitch, and rohit who scores once in a blue moon + India's longest tail will make it far in the world cup?

Our pacers aren't the problem, our spinners and our garbage middle order? Yup that needs to be checked.

 

[aukhan]

What a poor bowler Shadab is. Notanki No.1

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

This. If we have still not understood this then there is something wrong with our cricketing intelligence.

50 off 55 for vk..i guess thats acceptable m8?

 

[castortroy]

Kholi with his customery 50 v pak

 

[Mas-LFC]

It’s a good batting wicket. No need to panic. Keep the damage to as minimal. Anything under 315 should be chase able but if they get 330above, less chance..

 

[Rana]

Another waste of time review

 

[Thanos]

Kohli wasted juicy ball from Shadab. The ball on which he took single and completed his fifty could've gone to six.

 

[RexRex]

This. If we have still not understood this then there is something wrong with our cricketing intelligence.

The question is does coach Dravid not have this cricketing intelligence ? Or is he picking his fellow Karnataka-ian out of bias ? Or is someone in the BCCI top level forcing his hand ?

 

[Ahmed216]

Poor batting in last 5 overs. Imagine likes of buttler and Livingstone in this position

 

[Rana]

Premier spinner 1-71 in 10 overs

 

[PakPremi]

Faheem has done his job well, only if he was able to take a wicket. Last three overonly one lucky boundary for Kohli.

Shadab had to finish with filth bowl.

 

[Devadwal]

Can we score above 320??

 

[Devadwal]

soo dark, anymoement rain will come down

Dar to ni lgra India ki batting dekh ke ?

 

[Mamoon]

Shadab is not that bad as you are portraying. Any player can have a bad match. He has performed well in matches and produced match winning performance. I will never ever take usama or abrar instead of shadab as he can bat and field well also.

He is an awful bowler.

 

[Ahmed216]

Another missed chance. Seriously these guys are mentally shot

 

[Mas-LFC]

Kohli came to form in the bd series with that hundred in the 3rd odi on a road. Now looks like found his old mojo!

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Premier spinner 1-71 in 10 overs

Nothing for bowlers in this pitch its not england and wales ground where ball will talk to the air in overcast conditions,
In asia its humid

 

[mominsaigol]

Premier spinner 1-71 in 10 overs

Shadab is bad, but the wicket has become a batting paradise. That's what happened last time as well.

 

[Major]

Dar to ni lgra India ki batting dekh ke ?

no, pakistan is yet to bat

 

[Nado_]

I don't know who you are. This is the first time I'm seeing your post, but it is enough for me to know that you don't know what you are talking about.

You cannot have a solid ODI team when Shadab is your premier spinner.

I agree on your comment on Shadab, teams who play spin well will smash him .

What are your thoughts on Usama Mir

 

[Shafi]

Fakhar, Usama/Shadab and Fahim need to be replaced ASAP. Masood, Abrar and Zaman/Ihsanullah should be draft in

 

[Firebat]

India the only side that have played today with DLS in mind.

 

[Markhor]

Shadab Khan's numbers since 2019 WC updated:

Batting avg - 29
Bowling avg - 40

If we just include the teams participating in the 2023 WC (so removing WI, Zim, Nepal bashing):

Batting avg - 24
Bowling avg - 56

That's our Vice Captain and premier all-rounder ladies and gentlemen.

 

[Shafi]

I agree on your comment on Shadab, teams who play spin well will smash him .

What are your thoughts on Usama Mir

Usama is even worse than Shadab plus no batting/fielding skill.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

There is one factor which a lot of people here bashing your spinners might have to consider, outfield might be wet - makes the ball damp and heavy and not conducive to spin

 

[hass]

Really wish we were in to bat because this is borderline unwatchable. Faheem Ashraf running in for his bog standard medium pacers is as boring as it gets. I'm in favour of only keeping reserve days for knockout games. The desperation to have this fixture play out in full is pathetic. A total washout would be mercy for Pakistan. But it's evident under this captain Pakistan will get obliterated at the World Cup.

 

[Mas-LFC]

So Pak has no left arm spinner when Ind has many right handed batsmen? Gotta go with that left arm spinner forgot his name who can smoke it.

 

[Ahmed216]

What is nature of Rauf's injury?

 

[ChTab]

But but we're number 1 side in the ODI's

 

[Major]

thank god shaheen is at point, no more shadab

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

our fielding is really bad..

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

What is nature of Rauf's injury?

Side strain not serious, he is on ice today

 

[Major]

If only chacha had some variety, the guy can spin. But needs more variety in his bowling

 

[mrtaim3]

our fielding is really bad..

Its not. Where have you seen us doing that?

 

[msb314]

To be fair - fielding has been much better today

 

[Farabi]

did they need Faheem to bowl the 39th over? They have 11 overs from Rauf, Shaheen, and Naseem

 

[Major]

lovely over from chacha

 

[ahmadharis1]

did they need Faheem to bowl the 39th over? They have 11 overs from Rauf, Shaheen, and Naseem

Rauf is out injured

 

[mrtaim3]

So Pak has no left arm spinner when Ind has many right handed batsmen? Gotta go with that left arm spinner forgot his name who can smoke it.

Your nawaz would have been smoked around the park here

 

[PakPremi]

Kohli have wasted a lot of balls, it's better he is batting thank Kishan or Pandaya.

 

[Major]

did they need Faheem to bowl the 39th over? They have 11 overs from Rauf, Shaheen, and Naseem

oh bhai, rauf nahi khel reh

 

[Mamoon]

I agree on your comment on Shadab, teams who play spin well will smash him .

What are your thoughts on Usama Mir

Usama is clearly a better bowler. He has consistently bowled better than Shadab and there isn’t daylight between the two in terms of batting either, but unfortunately, he doesn’t have the golden boy tag which has allowed Shadab to play for 7 years and counting with no accountability.

 

[RexRex]

Iftikhar is 52 yrs old, in my opinion.

 

[MenInG]

What is nature of Rauf's injury?

Please see

[Mas-LFC]

Both these set batsmen need to go now hard.. plenty of wickets in hand

 

[Asad T]

Feel that India is going to go on a rampage from here
Let's see if Shaheen can contain them

 

[Major]

ifti will bowl one more

 

[Thanos]

KL turning Kohli's doubles into singles.

 

[MP2011]

Poor batting yet again from mental midget.

 

[Mas-LFC]

KL is slowing down India big time here!

 

[YousafTheBeast]

Someone get the sprinklers on

 

[Major]

poor fielding by naseem shah

 

[Champ_Pal]

Rahul can go into a shell at anytime. The man can have the opposition at his mercy, but he becomes a kitten for no reason.

 

[RexRex]

Kohli can't even middle the ball anymore. Sad to see.

 

[MP2011]

50 off 55 for vk..i guess thats acceptable m8?

Not good enough in this day and age especially after the start we got.

 

[Champ_Pal]

By now India should have been around 290. But they are struggling at 260.

 

[Asif321]

Can we please stop smiling and hugging on the field . It looks like a exhibition match . Rizwan is overdoing it
