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

[Rana]

Unnecessary intent caused him to lose his wicket.

Unnecessary?

Pakistan are going at 3.5 on a 400 pitch?

They have to score some runs.

 

[heddie19]

Babar is finished.

@Mamoon you can keep watching everyday how it disintegrates for him.

If babar is finished, the rest of the team is finished 100x. There is not a single batter in 250M people who can be half of what Babar is

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan are way behind a lot of countries in white ball cricket.

 

[ask_analyse_act]

If Rizwan is batting like how he is , then the youngsters and new batters shouldnt be u questioned for their performance

 

[Savak]

Pakistan should have played atleast two practice games. They are playing in Australia of all places. Where is the planning?

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Cummins bowling 140+ from short of length. Nasty stuff on this pitch.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Watching Rizwan is watching a patient with post operative ileus struggling to pass gas.

 

[Usman Chadda]

They just can’t play this bounce lol

Looks like a school team out there

 

[Vikram1989]

Why all of a sudden kamran acted like smith clone.Both him and sarfaraz have that same technique to thrive on sub continental tracks but can't cope the bounce

 

[mominsaigol]

If babar is finished, the rest of the team is finished 100x. There is not a single batter in 250M people who can be half of what Babar is

There is not a single batter in 250M people who can be half of what Babar is

Yes youre right about that. Their isnt anyone who can be half of Babar.

 

[Rana]

Zampa wearing standard uncle sunglasses

 

[FearlessRoar]

Lets see if our bowlers can take advantage of bouncy surface or not

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Unnecessary?

This is not a 400 pitch brother. More like 270

 

[Dr_Bassim]

If babar is finished, the rest of the team is finished 100x. There is not a single batter in 250M people who can be half of what Babar is

Pakistan won 2 tests without Babar in them.

Stop lying to other people and being delusional.

 

[batandballbattle]

They may as well have invited Afghanistan over for a white ball tour, they would come and bat with much more intent. Much better viewing for the fans too

 

[emranabbas]

If babar is finished, the rest of the team is finished 100x. There is not a single batter in 250M people who can be half of what Babar is

Have 250m people been given a chance?

I don't know where you lot come out with all this rubbish

 

[mominsaigol]

This is not a 400 pitch brother. More like 270

350 pitch for Australia. Pakistani pacers can't utilise bounce. They'll 100% try to punch it in full

 

[Justcrazy]

Unnecessary?

Intent does not mean reckless batting

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Australia have stopped trying to get Rizwan out.

Thats how useless his innings is.

 

[Rana]

Intent does not mean reckless batting

You going to teach me what intent is when you are going at 3.5 runs per over????

 

[mominsaigol]

Man I love pat cummins as a captain. Brought starc back on.

This is how a captain goes for the kill. Theirs a reason why he's an atg captain. Meanwhile pakistan has adopted a brain dead idiot as a captain

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Pakistan are way behind a lot of countries in white ball cricket.

yes they continue to give chances to players like Ifthikar, Asif Ali , Danish Aziz , Nawaz , Faheem and Imad Wasim as middle order batters..

They dont have a single batter in the middle order with decent technique and Rizwan is playing at 4 the most important position for a cricket team regardless of format where a proper batter plays... Many many greats have played at this position like MoYo, Inzi, Yuvi, Sanga n Mahela , ABD, Ross Taylor etc and unfortunately Pak have got Rizwan these days to bat at no.4...

 

[G0rmintAunty]

If there are no boundary opportunities ATLEAST take singles and rotate the strike. Lulloos

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Salman 1 off 14. Except Babar, none of the others have managed to handle the bounce in this pitch.

 

[Bilal Ahmad15]

Once again Agha Salman comes into the crease where he needs to be Tom Cruise and complete a rescue mission to save Pakistans collapse

 

[khyberlion]

Salman 1 off 14. Except Babar, none of the others have managed to handle the bounce in this pitch.

He looked by far our best bat and confident after a while.

 

[batandballbattle]

all the intent sucked out of agha's batting as soon as the VC role was given, just desperately trying to keep his title from ball 1

 

[Rana]

Starc was getting smashed by England. May have been pondering retirement.

Now he’s back to dominating Pakistan.

This is the level of our cricket team!

 

[heddie19]

Pakistan won 2 tests without Babar in them.

Stop lying to other people and being delusional.

none of those 2 tests was won by Batting brilliance. Stop deluding yourself and believe otherwise. Pakistan whitewashed SL in SL in Babar's last test series as the captain.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

If someone cant sleep tonight, I suggest them to watch Pakistan team bat.

Instant cure for all forms of insomnia.

 

[mominsaigol]

Salman 1 off 14. Except Babar, none of the others have managed to handle the bounce in this pitch.

Babar is good at pulling, playing the cover drive and when the ball comes on his legs that's why.

He's useless when it comes to playing on the 3rd offtump line or dealing with any kind of spin unless the spinners are rubbish like is sodhi

 

[khyberlion]

all the intent sucked out of agha's batting as soon as the VC role was given, just desperately trying to keep his title from ball 1

Like most of our batsmens he doesn't have the game for fast bowling. The WC 27 will be a disaster which the players who we have got.

 

[heddie19]

Have 250m people been given a chance?

I don't know where you lot come out with all this rubbish

They have, there are 3 debutants playing today. All 3 of them are batters. Exactly, I don't know where you come up with your utter rubbish and nonsense.

 

[mango_bite77]

Pak is currently worst Asian side, may be slightly better than bangla.

 

[G0rmintAunty]

Once again Agha Salman comes into the crease where he needs to be Tom Cruise and complete a rescue mission to save Pakistans collapse

Acting more like Jim Carrey atm.

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Pak couldnt beat Afghanistan and couldnt cross the line to reach Semis in favourable conditions for them last year in this format.. Aus on the other hand won the CWC beating the strongest team in the format and the team that was unbeatable in that tournament until get beaten in the final..

Fans are always delusional that new captain Rizwan would change things all around lol.... Should be prepared to accept the whitewash.. They will get beaten by every single team until they realise the gap in intl cricket and domestic cricket is huge...

 

[heddie19]

He's useless when it comes to playing on the 3rd offtump line or dealing with any kind of spin unless the spinners are rubbish like is sodhi

Babar has one of the highest averages ever against spin bowling in both ODIs and T20is. Like since the inception of white ball cricket.

 

[G0rmintAunty]

Almost run out, no understanding between kaptaan and vice kaptaan. Ominous signs

His all problems against spin will
be solved if he somehow learns to sweep. He has enough money, can hire personal trainer for this. Or may be can work with YK for some time.

 

[Ijaz Ahmed07]

As suspected Kamran Ghulam can't play pace. Abdullah needs to go and Rizwan has no business playing at no.4

This is Rizwan's stats at No.4 for Pakistan in odi cricket :

37 innings - 1455 runs @48.50 , SR - 91

Please tell me any player in Pakistan history with a better record than this at no.4 ?

Pakistan lost 4 wickets, of course there has to be a rebuild its not easy out there against a World cup winning bowling attack even Salman is struggling, so please be fair with the critic you can't just hate Rizwan for no valid reason

 

[Rana]

Is this the umpire from the England v Pakistan World Cup game in 2003?

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Babar has one of the highest averages ever against spin bowling in both ODIs and T20is. Like since the inception of white ball cricket.

Great.

Now we can all bow down to your hero Babar.

Oh wait?

He is back to pavilion again.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan looking to bat the full 50 overs here

 

[khyberlion]

Would have loved to see PP's favorites Usman Khan and Tayyab tahir play here.

Kamran ghulam already exposed after a couple of balls and he's far better technically then them 2.

Rizwan>>Brian Lara at number 4

 

[mominsaigol]

Bro, he's had a billion batting coaches.

Yousaf was the perfect guy to teach him sweep and backlifts and late cuts. Babar didn't learn anything.

Every batting coach on the planet has claimed that Babar doesn't function with any coaches, any trainers and doesn't take his fitness seriously.

^^ All these are telltale signs that he was never in the run for being a good batter.

Stats aren't everything, he is looking quite clueless out there but then again most of them have, so it's not like we have Laras waiting in the dugout.

Spin bradman

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Kamran Ghulam the best domestic player who top all the charts made to bounce like a cat by by cummins..

 

[mominsaigol]

Aastagfarullah I didn't even notice. 25 obers have been bowled. And 83 runs only. Allah

Doesn't matter he not a no 4 bat. Probably the ugliest no 4 going around.

 

[mango_bite77]

Is this the umpire from the England v Pakistan World Cup game in 2003?

No, that was Rudi, Already retired I guess.

 

[mominsaigol]

Wow first 6 of the innings. Only took 150 deliveries to get their

 

[G0rmintAunty]

FINALLY. Aur maaarooo

Some really off beat comments like “intent nai hai” when reality is if they can even last 40 overs let alone 50.
There is not a single batter in Pakistani circuit who can arrive here, no practice games, and start playing fluently against this bowling on this ground.
Kamran Ghulam is supposedly the poster boy of Pakistani batting domestic talent and we saw what he had to offer.

 

[emranabbas]

They have, there are 3 debutants playing today. All 3 of them are batters. Exactly, I don't know where you come up with your utter rubbish and nonsense.

Where is sahibzada farhan? Who Is currently in red hot form?

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Its this one shot for which we have to wait 50 balls and he hits this once in a blue moon.

 

[Rana]

No, that was Rudi, Already retired I guess.

No the other umpire

The one Wasim Akram said “eh kerra umpire mere piche paata je”

 

[G0rmintAunty]

Wow first 6 of the innings. Only took 150 deliveries to get their

There. You always mix you your there/their

 

[heddie19]

Great.

Now we can all bow down to your hero Babar.

Oh wait?

He is back to pavilion again.

He is back to the pavilion with the the highest score in the team while the rest of them who went back to pavilion are in their single digit score. And that is an out of form Babar, right? You need to open your eyes and brain while watching cricket and commenting bec no one else will do it for you.

 

[khyberlion]

Where is sahibzada farhan? Who Is currently in red hot form?

Another one who a complete dud against any sort of pace.

 

[Ahmed216]

Leg side lapedu slogs one for Six.

His slow batting has contributed to all 4 dismissals.

 

[heddie19]

Where is sahibzada farhan? Who Is currently in red hot form?

Not in ODi squad.

 

[mango_bite77]

Yousuf was not that good when it comes to sweep, YK was the real deal. He should work with him. Not sure if this is true, but Buttler has given lot of credit to YK for training him on sweeps.

 

[Justcrazy]

Forecast showing Pakistan likely to get 220 here

 

[heddie19]

Another one who a complete dud against any sort of pace.

They think He is Sahibzada "Bradman" Farhan

 

[G0rmintAunty]

Where is sahibzada farhan? Who Is currently in red hot form?

Are bhai maaf karo. Every lulloo punjoo who isn't playing is in red hot form.

 

[mominsaigol]

There. You always mix you your there/their

I don't, it's just online, I don't bother, logon ko samajh aa jai gai.

Kamran ghulam also came with same team
He also didn't play any practice game, infact it's his first ever game in Australia while other have already played here

One rule for rizwan and another for kamran

 

[mango_bite77]

Kamran Ghulam the best domestic player who top all the charts made to bounce like a cat by by cummins..

First time touring Australia. Not familiar with the bounce, lets give him benefit of doubt.

 

[emranabbas]

Are bhai maaf karo. Every lulloo punjoo who isn't playing is in red hot form.

He ain't a luloo like rizwan go check his recent performances

 

[mominsaigol]

Bro my point is, Whoever he works with, it won't make a difference.

Every coach has claimed Babar doesn't listen, bother or actually care. It's the same with his fitness.

Babar does what he wants. Literally I'm not even joking. He does that he wants.

 

[G0rmintAunty]

I don't, it's just online, I don't bother, logon ko samajh aa jai gai.

Oh so you care enough to write 1500 word essays everyday but don't bother to check basic spelling. Got it.

 

[emranabbas]

Not in ODi squad.

He is also part of 250m people why he's ot in the squad?

 

[khyberlion]

They think He is Sahibzada "Bradman" Farhan

Everyone is for them sitting outside. Sahibzada struggles against pacers in our domestic circuit. What hope has he got at international level? I called it with Kamran Ghulam being awful against pace and it only took a couple of balls.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Rizwan is one lucky dude.

Ugly and lucky dude.

 

[G0rmintAunty]

He is also part of 250m people why he's ot in the squad?

Squad limit is a bit less than 250m players.

 

[mominsaigol]

Oh so you care enough to write 1500 word essays everyday but don't bother to check basic spelling. Got it.

Don't start. Let me enjoy the game, not that it's enjoyable. It's so suffocating that I want Australia to tour England again. That was a fun series.

Either ping/reply to me when you got something productive to say, or stay quiet. Not in the mood for another squabble. I told the trio of idiots yesterday that I'm done beefing.

 

[emranabbas]

Squad limit is a bit less than 250m players.

Stop bloody claiming 250m people have been given a chance to bat then

 

[Devadwal]

Kohli is not playing for Pak.

Bdw something to cheer for you after 20 days of humiliation.

Zimbu is playing.
