Australia (313/7) comprehensively defeat Pakistan (225) by 88 runs to win the 1st ODI

[oatmeal]

It looked like bat first in real time

 

[imshally81]

Not out.... Review wasted

 

[Justcrazy]

116 . 1

23 overs

 

[ha5is12]

Australians really do exhaust every possibility

 

[gkb101277867]

My exact comment in the previous thread after head’s century:

“Take note babar/imam. This is how you make an ODI century. 100 from 70 balls. No need for a pathetic 100 from 130 balls costing the team the game.”

They are playing for their average as usual

 

[sweep_shot]

LOL!

They checked for 3 different dismissals.

I don't think I have seen something like this before.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan have not been able to hit too many boundaries , they need to get some now.

 

[Cric1234]

Imam going steady for his 50 can't let the team down milestones come first get the cake ready boys.

 

[ChTab]

Just imagine if Pakistan was playing this ODI vs proper Australian team

 

[shariqnoor]

Babar up to 57. Average maintained!!

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

Pakistan have dug themselves a hole.

 

[imshally81]

Babar gone

 

[sweep_shot]

Pakistan - 120/1 after 24 overs.

 

[ha5is12]

That's why he doesn't sweep

 

[oatmeal]

Looked out in real time

 

[Snowflake]

Wow! What an innings

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

Not an innings you play chasing 300

 

[oatmeal]

Looks like the crowd saw the spike of the ultra edge and got excited about an edge

 

[Energy]

Poor innings from Babar. Imam will also play a shocker the longer he's there.

Pakistan batters need character to win from here.

 

[shortbread]

Epic consistency from Babar, another 50!

 

[Cric1234]

Just as he was about to hit a few big sixes he goes.

 

[sweep_shot]

Babar is out.

Big blow.

 

[Cover Drive Six]

These guys will play very carefully without taking any risks until they scores 50 or 100..After that pressure will be on next batsmen

 

[badsha001]

That's why he doesn't sweep

or maybe he needs to get better at it by doing more practice?

 

[Cric1234]

Saud In take a chance send Hasan in quick runs are needed.

 

[shamaan]

Not good enough from Babar

 

[gkb101277867]

57 from 72, absolutely pathetic from babar and same goes from imam. Run rates like that lose pakistan the match. The misbah influence still hasn’t went away

 

[GenericBrand]

Babar maintaining that average at least

 

[whyamir]

Not a great innings from Babar. Should have accelerated more imo. Scoreboard pressure now on

 

[shariqnoor]

Expect Babar to come and say in the post match that we will try to not repeat the mistakes in the next game. Been hearing that line since forever. A standard quote that means absolutely nothing. They didn't learn anything from the Test series. They will not learn anything forever.

 

[Justcrazy]

Babar played a slow innings up the required rate and now out

That is why they are a mediocre team

 

[imshally81]

666

 

[ssuhaide]

An average maintaining knock from Babar Azam. Burned a valuable review when its was clearly plumb. Selfish.

 

[Snowflake]

You think he means that? He doesn't know what to say. Just repeats the same thing over and over again.

 

[Snowflake]

Babar played at a SR of 79 when chasing 300+ score. Slow clap

 

[Cric1234]

Imam with a six at last a bit of intent let’s see what happens from
here.

 

[ChTab]

Imam going steady for his 50 can't let the team down milestones come first get the cake ready boys.

Babar playing at worst SR than Imam

 

[sweep_shot]

Six from Imam.

I don't think I have ever seen Imam hit a six before.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Babar/imam simple a awful batting combo. at least one is out now.

 

[shamaan]

57 from 72, absolutely pathetic from babar and same goes from imam. Run rates like that lose pakistan the match. The misbah influence still hasn’t went away

Imaam is playing much better than Babar

 

[Snowflake]

Imam hits a six and we ended up scoring 7 runs off the over )

 

[Cric1234]

Then 2 dots anti climax.

 

[sweep_shot]

Pakistan need 187 runs from 25 overs.

 

[Amjid Javed]

six from imam then 2 blocks. zero batting management skills.

 

[Snowflake]

Imam with a six at last a bit of intent let’s see what happens from
here.

We only scored 7 off that over. So, it didn't do much for us.

 

[Villager6964]

Saud seems from the same school of defensive batting.

 

[Mean&Green]

Babar is as selfish as they come Australians are the most selfless cricketers I’ve seen in my life head going for shots even when he was on 95 he did not care one bit about his hundred where Babar received a long hop when he was on 49 but still tucked it away so he could secure his 50 pathetic

 

[Joseph Gomes]

Babar is one of the most overrated batsman in ODIs. Good statpadder but mediocre in impact.

 

[Justcrazy]

To be honest very poor effort from Babar , I pity the people who compare him with Virat , Virat in peak was beast while chasing , babar is nowhere near , does not have that mindset , he will remain a Pakistan Great only.

 

[oatmeal]

Imam has to play positively now

 

[sweep_shot]

I think a lot of people underestimated this Aussie bowling attack.

It is not their main attack but their bench bowlers are pretty okay. They can defend 290-320.

 

[Justcrazy]

Babar is one of the most overrated batsman in ODIs. Good statpadder but mediocre in impact.

He is not mediocre , just a good batsman , he simply does not have the impact and shots to move ahead into the Great zone.

 

[Snowflake]

Our team clearly didn't. Batting as if they are facing McGraths and Warnes!

 

[andy0204]

Babar is one of the most overrated batsman in ODIs. Good statpadder but mediocre in impact.

Hashim Amla 2.0

 

[sweep_shot]

Pakistan - 131/2 after 26 overs.

 

[Ahmed216]

Imam has to play positively now

Ship has sailed

 

[ChTab]

Babar is out.

Big blow.

Big Blow for Australia if Babar was at tge crease it was a certain loss for Pakistan.

 

[Snowflake]

He is not mediocre , just a good batsman , he simply does not have the impact and shots to move ahead into the Great zone.

He has all the shots but lacks intent. Intent comes from intellect when you can read the game well.

 

[imshally81]

Saud gone

 

[Cric1234]

Poor thinking again to send Saud out quick runs are needed and they send out another accumulator.

 

[shamaan]

Saud Shakeel isn't a odi/T20 player

 

[whyamir]

Lol typical Pakistan batting.

 

[sweep_shot]

Out.

Shakeel departs.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Saud Shakeel isn't a odi/T20 player

Watch him get dropped from test side now.

 

[Omer2002]

Nobody is a one day player in pakistan...awful strategy they have unfortinately

 

[ssuhaide]

A very soft dismissal. Making part time bowler Head look like Zampa

 

[shariqnoor]

Rest assured, Australia can send it's U-19 team and Pakistan will struggle.

 

[Snowflake]

This is what happens when you try and leave everything till the end

When you are at the crease, you need to get ahead of the game... not stay with it.

Happening since years and will continue to happen for years.

 

[NeVerMind]

Watch him get dropped from test side now.

Lol, so true... What a joke Pakistan Cricket can be!

 

[Snowflake]

Poor thinking again to send Saud out quick runs are needed and they send out another accumulator.

The whole line-up is made up of accumulators.

 

[sweep_shot]

182 runs are needed from 23.2 overs.

 

[saeedhk]

This team is full of mediocre, talentless, mentally-weak and meek players. This has been the story for the last two decades. Why does Pakistan play uber defensive cricket? Why zero improvement?

 

[Justcrazy]

OUT

Pakistan ship is leaking now.

 

[NeVerMind]

2 bits and pieces players after this... Neither known play long innings...

 

[adi_62941]

this guy saud shakeel looks like a mohammad sami brother. His body language and confidence is so so poor that i can sense his wicket before he got out

 

[shamaan]

Watch him get dropped from test side now.

Proberly will knowing how Pakistan do things.

 

[sweep_shot]

I think they should've sent in Khushdil to improve the run rate. Rizwan should be slow.

 

[Justcrazy]

This team is full of mediocre, talentless, mentally-weak and meek players. This has been the story for the last two decades. Why does Pakistan play uber defensive cricket? Why zero improvement?

Because they are afraid to lose.

 

[Snowflake]

Iftikhar comes in at 4 down and Waqar Younis says that Pakistan has a VERY long batting line up. Huh?
