Australia (204/8) beat Pakistan (203) by 2 wickets in a low-scoring thriller in the first ODI

[aukhan]

There is a big difference between bowling to quality players and bowling in Pakistan's domestic matches.

All our batsmen are poor, im sure many wet their pants facing Hasnain's wayward pace.

 

[mango_bite77]

Best fielder drops it.

Ayub would have stick to his place

 

[TheSultan]

Naseem seems better from the other end - why does Shaheen always get the good end?

 

[Rana]

Warner talking as a nice man is so funny to listen to.

 

[Kianig89]

Sickening that fielding standards have dropped radically

 

[Devadwal]

Some posters hyping Hasnain after Domestic performance. They are delusion poster's

 

[Usman Chadda]

Pakistan and dropped catches in Australia - story for the ages.

We are arguably the worst performing team in Australia since forever.

 

[Bilal Ahmad15]

So

I just want to say

a certain someone in the commentary box kept calling Muhammad Irfan Khan a gun fielder...

 

[Rana]

Ride the bounce

Class

Steven Smith

 

[Rana]

So

I just want to say

a certain someone in the commentary box kept calling Muhammad Irfan Khan a gun fielder...

Tbf he is a gun fielder

That was poor by him

 

[mominsaigol]

Smith and start back in form, nothing makes me happier

 

[TheSultan]

Naseem really needs to learn how to drive through the crease. Back foot getting stuck

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

Fair enough,

When talking about Pakistans pacers, Shaheen had great pace in the most pace of 2021, where he was consistently 140 and occasionally bowling 150, so yeah sad to see his pace decrease.

bowling 2 over spell at 150 with 2 at death is entirely different than having to bowl 10 overs. we often forget that. Shaheen was over hyped.. success got to his head..sad to see his downfall

 

[kingusama92]

It's hard to defend a total like this.

That one drop might be the game.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

This I agree with

Told you Matt Short and JFMcG in particular are not ODI batters yet.

Huge drop off from Warner, Marsh and Head.

 

[TheSultan]

Seems like really dumb captaincy - the quicker bowlers are bowling in to the breeze.

 

[mominsaigol]

Told you Matt Short and JFMcG in particular are not ODI batters yet.

Huge drop off from Warner, Marsh and Head.

Yes you were correct. Good call.

 

[castortroy]

Stop touring Australia until you become more competitive as a cricketing nation

 

[Rana]

Hasnain needs to stick to what he was doing well in the Champion’s cup. Why changing?

He was successful just bowling back of a length 5th stump line ball after ball.

Spraying the ball around here

 

[Bilal Ahmad15]

I was actually referring to Test Cricket, in that 2021 Test series vs South Africa, I very clearly remember Shaheen bowling 140s consistently and reaching 150 multiple times, not just as a one-off ball.

Obviously we assume those speed guns were accurate though...

Maybe he was chucking?

 

[mango_bite77]

Waiting for Rauf the Bowling Machine to get spanked

 

[TheSultan]

Shaheen the resident taaanga should have been bowling in to the breeze

 

[Devadwal]

Pakistani trundlers bowlers are making sure that smith get back to the form before BGT.

 

[Rana]

Maybe he was chucking?

He’s not changed his action

He’s just gone back into that mental midget mode.

 

[Bilal Ahmad15]

Good second over from Hasnain

 

[castortroy]

Not a single pak player would get into England, Australia, India and even New zeland 11

 

[castortroy]

Not a single pak player would get into England, Australia, India and even New zeland, SA 11

 

[Rana]

Not a single pak player would get into England, Australia, India and even New zeland, SA 11

Not even Rizwan?

 

[mominsaigol]

Not even Rizwan?

He's an exception. No one can refuse spin bradman

 

[Nikhil_cric]

That drop will prove the difference maker.

 

[Rana]

Category A pull shot off Category A bowler

 

[Devadwal]

What a shot.

 

[Devadwal]

That drop will prove the difference maker.

Australia has enough batting to Chase this low target.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

If you are going to bowl short to these Aussies, you have to get it higher up and at the left shoulder .

They are ridiculously strong on the short ball

 

[aukhan]

Clueless brother. He just standing their?

I'm not even joking he's literally just standing their? I'm actually surprised. I hate rizwan but I was sure he'd be chirping, acting and doing nonsense 24/7, but he's just standing their looking blank lol

So as a captain, he is no Sarfraz despite what some people have made him out to be.

 

[Rana]

Wasim should tell him that he also was a tape ball product. Just an absolutely God gifted talent though

 

[shah_1]

Hasnain looks toothless

 

[adi_62941]

Aussies batters have aluminium in their bat or what. They are hitting shots and crossing boundaries easily while our batmen were struggling to hit a grounded four

 

[mominsaigol]

So as a captain, he is no Sarfraz despite what some people have made him out to be.

It's shocking, because I thought he'd be extremly chirpy with nonsense however he's done nothing.

I don't think he's even changed field settings, Powerl play is over but everyone is still inside and Australia are casually lofting.

Did some tell him that PP is over?

He's so blank? Never seen a more inactive captain.

 

[adi_62941]

Hasnain looks toothless

Why he is stucking just before throwing a ball

 

[aukhan]

Shaheen bas 1 wicket hi lega saaari zindagi, when will he destroy the opposition up front. How can people compare him to Bumrah?

 

[Devadwal]

Pakistan player's are lack the power maybe they can start to eat more beef @Major right na ?

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Australia has enough batting to Chase this low target.

3 down in PP will make them bat conservatively. Especially Smith and Marnus.

 

[Rana]

Inglis v Rauf

This will be fun

 

[adi_62941]

Shaheen bas 1 wicket hi lega saaari zindagi, when will he destroy the opposition up front. How can people compare him to Bumrah?

He is an average bowler. After that injury he is not effective anymore

 

[Devadwal]

Haris Rauf time lets see what he can do.

 

[adi_62941]

tapiya comes in

 

[mominsaigol]

Shaheen bas 1 wicket hi lega saaari zindagi, when will he destroy the opposition up front. How can people compare him to Bumrah?

Well he's ranked one spot > Bumrah in the icc rankings.

Shaheen no 7 and bumrah no 8 .

And Babar is also ranked no 1. Oh and don't forget spin bradman rizwan

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Decent line and length from Rauf, for a change. Now hold it

 

[adi_62941]

Pakistan player's are lack the power maybe they can start to eat more beef @Major right na ?

Maybe. Amazed to see the dancing wicket of vice captain salman agha. Body going left, bat going right, head going up. What a batsmen

 

[mominsaigol]

Decent line and length from Rauf, for a change. Now hold it

He starts of well. He doesn't. Maintain it.

 

[Devadwal]

Good net practise for Smith before big series.

 

[mango_bite77]

Rauf - first over - boundary

Few things never change

 

[Sunny_majoka]

Every time I listen to Wasim, he tells us him and waqar stories

 

[Devadwal]

Maybe. Amazed to see the dancing wicket of vice captain salman agha. Body going left, bat going right, head going up. What a batsmen

Agha is nothing player yet they made him VC. Mind blowing move .

 

[mominsaigol]

Smith, the true king of cricket actually it's Travis head atm

 

[TheSultan]

Hasnain has no pace off the pitch. The speedgun looks good, but ball is floaty

 

[Devadwal]

Chukker is useless

 

[adi_62941]

Agha is nothing player yet they made him VC. Mind blowing move .

He is good only in asian conditions and against spin. He is made captain because he is a yes man and can speak good english

 

[TheSultan]

Good net practise for Smith before big series.

Which big series? The one against the team who got whitewashed in their back yard?

 

[Rana]

I thought Rizwan could make guys like Khushdil become Darren Lehman?!

Why is it not working with Hasnain?

 

[kingusama92]

Hasnain and Rauf back into their normal routine.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Bowls the perfect ball to Inglis which he can't play, drawing him forward and then bowls 2 short balls feeding his strength .

 

[volcyz]

Maybe he was chucking?

Absolutely

without chucking his max pace is around 140kph lol

 

[TheSultan]

Every time I listen to Wasim, he tells us him and waqar stories

Tbf our current generation don’t give him much to talk up. Might as well just talk about yourself

 

[Rana]

Great keeping by Rizwan….

 

[Mohraheem]

Hasnain is a domestic player! Just like Chacha he will not perform in international.. who the hell brought him to Aus! Why did they bring him. He never had a good career

 

[mominsaigol]

Which big series? The one against the team who got whitewashed in their back yard?

Smith is a bigger test player then anyone India has ever produced. Indians are just salty that Smith has not only scored more centuries against them then any other opposition but also kicked them out of wtc 2023 and wc 2015 single handidely.

Smith is an actual goat. Won 2 cups for his country which on player in India has been able to do.

 

[TheSultan]

That was keeper’s catch - this is our world class keeper

 

[Rana]

What a legend Harris Rauf is

5 wides

 

[Devadwal]

Haha overhyped phasst bowlers are getting phainta

 

[Vikram1989]

The Man The Machine The Legend Harrid Rauf

 

[Rana]

Time to bring in the spinner to break the partnership. Oh wait…

 

[Bilal Ahmad15]

Im looking at the google scorecard here

Numbers 6, 4 showing up again and again

and 5 also

 

[Devadwal]

Which big series? The one against the team who got whitewashed in their back yard?

A team who has beaten australia in back to back series where current playing team won zero test matches in last 25 years .

 

[Rana]

I would love to face Rauf here. I recon I’ll lick him for some taipiya sixes!

 

[mominsaigol]

That was keeper’s catch - this is our world class keeper

Great keeping by Rizwan….

Rizwan has literally been blank today. I think he isn't acting because he's captain now, but it just shows. Without the drama bazi, he's nothing more then an empty head.

This dude frauded his way by spouting nonsense, acting and giving fake signals to make it seem like he's a busy and educated captain.

Nothing but a 2 bit fraud. His captaincy has been horrible today.

Unlike Shan, misbah, and Babar I can't even critise Rizwan's captaincy because he hasn't actually done anything beyond atand their?

How did we get a captain worse then Babar? .

 

[Rana]

Rizwan said we will show fight….

I haven’t seen any fight.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Wasn't this his "home" base during the BBL? Rauf should know better than anyone else on what to bowl on this pitch
