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

[Energy]

Poor Saud. Knew this wasn't going to be easy for him but you've got to grab your chances at this level even if it's not your format.

 

[andy0204]

Last time when Australia came to U.A.E for odi series ,atleast Pakistan had excuse that main players were rested but now what?

 

[Amjid Javed]

imam will just play for his 100 now in a team defeat.

 

[shariqnoor]

Ideally need 100 off the next 15 with no wickets down. Improbable.

 

[iRfaN_LA]

we have too many accumulators in this lineup. Everyone is playing for personal milestones and that is the problem.

 

[sweep_shot]

181 runs are needed from 23 overs.

 

[Snowflake]

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

In the Asad Shafique mold.

No presence on the crease.

 

[shamaan]

If Pakistan wanted to take a gamble they could have played Haris and Dahani

 

[Justcrazy]

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

Khudshil can hit some hits in PSL , in International cricket he will be useless.

 

[Zerotohero]

There goes the saviour of Pakistan cricket. The next big thing after babar for world cricket.

 

[sweep_shot]

There were talks of dew.

No dew issue yet.

 

[Omer2002]

They hit sixes for fun amd here we are .
.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan need 176 runs from 22 overs.

Required rate 8

 

[Cric1234]

Saud should be a test only player only Pakistan can play him in other formats like Fawad debuting in T20s.

 

[sweep_shot]

138/3 (28 overs).

176 runs are needed from 22 overs.

 

[Snowflake]

Waqar: The bowlers are complaining, moaning and whinging about it.

Bro is like a thesaurus on the mic. One word would've suffice.

 

[NeVerMind]

You can fit a jumbo jet between the run rate graphs of the two teams...

 

[maqbool]

Ai Yayayiii what’s this .. are they planning to draw this ODI ?..

 

[NeVerMind]

We still playing cricket like we in the 90s...but we should realise we don't have the likes of Razzaq, Afridi or Azhar Mehmood anymore...

 

[Omer2002]

Why does rizzy look like a rabbit when batting..

 

[Amjid Javed]

imam just plodding along as though this is a test match.

 

[maqbool]

Imam is just stat padding, securing his spot for as long as he possibly can..

 

[iRfaN_LA]

We have dug ourselves a hole, relying on "power hitters" khushdil and Ifti )

 

[shortbread]

Imam should play anchor and look to play till the end. Batsmen at the other end should take more risks and score faster.

 

[sweep_shot]

Aussies have used 7 bowlers.

 

[NeVerMind]

You suppose to double the score after 30 overs if you are a good team...but even if we do that, we still short of the Aussie total...

 

[sweep_shot]

Head has been a good part-timer.

4-0-19-1.

 

[oatmeal]

With dew the chase is not too hard, but you need to go on the attack

 

[sweep_shot]

165 runs are needed from 19.5 overs.

 

[Zaz]

Why do they always make it so difficult for themselves

No putting the pressure back on the bowlers at all

 

[andy0204]

These two are not even smacking Travis Head

 

[Cover Drive Six]

Required Run rate is already above 8 and they cant even hit boundaries in Head blowing.

 

[Cric1234]

Imam will hole out soon as Rizwan is playing slow.

 

[imshally81]

Rizwan gone

 

[sweep_shot]

Pakistan missed Shadab and Shaheen.

 

[adi_62941]

namazi parhezi, humble and extra nice guy is gone

 

[oatmeal]

Brilliant catch, these are never easy.

 

[maqbool]

Game over. Good night

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Shows the quality of this pakistan line up. Aussies miles ahead in quality . Disappointing in test series and so far disappointing in this Match

 

[sweep_shot]

Out.

Good keeping from Carey.

Rizwan is gone.

 

[Ahmed216]

Imam should play anchor and look to play till the end. Batsmen at the other end should take more risks and score faster.

They lack ability time to make peace with it

 

[sweep_shot]

163 runs are needed from 19 overs.

 

[Omer2002]

Pretty awful team this losing to their B team but i did predict this

 

[shah_1]

Pathetic mindset

 

[Zaz]

This is insanity You cant help people that dont learn

 

[ha5is12]

Imam wasn't even playing had unfortunate for him

 

[oatmeal]

44444444444444444

 

[Cover Drive Six]

Why does rizzy look like a rabbit when batting..

Because he want to eat more balls.

 

[shariqnoor]

Anybody with an iota of cricketing sense knew that this approach would not work. It has not worked since a good 10 years now and it will not work in the future too. Modern cricket has changed. The quicker we get rid of the class of 92 from our cricket, the better. Nothing has damaged Pakistan more than the cornered tigers approach and the approach of saving wickets for the last 10 overs.

We need to purge Pakistan cricket from the influence of class of 92.

 

[ha5is12]

Imam wasn't even playing had unfortunate for him

Bad*

 

[MenInG]

Out.

Good keeping from Carey.

Rizwan is gone.

Not that great from Riz

[andy0204]

Losing against Australia B team is very shameful.

 

[Ahmed216]

Look how ifiti is batting like a novice

 

[NeVerMind]

Chacha Ifti batting like he put the kettle on in the dressing room... He'll be right back

 

[JaDed]

We need to purge Pakistan cricket from the influence of class of 92.

Actually the approach works with 5 rr (for this target) , India has constantly used this annoying template as well but India’s top 3 always accelerate after 30th over, Imam needs to do it now.

 

[PakEngFan]

Pathetic from rizwan and Babar today. The only player who actually was playing for the win was fakhar but he had a brainfade. Saud is not an odi player if he’s not opening.

 

[Thanos]

Why so much hate for Imam?
Guy has scored 62 off 70 so far in an ODI, which is okay considering target is just 314. And he has kept one end secured from start of the inning.

Its the others who shoud've done more.

 

[sweep_shot]

155 runs are needed from 18 overs.

 

[NeVerMind]

Tbh Imam has has hardly been the problem today.. Its the rest of the batting line up not up to the task

 

[imshally81]

Ifti chacha has no clue..

 

[iRfaN_LA]

My goodness Iftikhar has a horrible technique. How this guy makes the lineup is beyond me.

 

[sweep_shot]

165/4 (33 overs).

149 runs are needed from 17 overs.

 

[imshally81]

Ifti Chacha gone

 

[oatmeal]

Ifti Chacha gone

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Gone It was always coming.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Ifti wata waste

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Pakistan down and out

 

[Energy]

Chacha is a domestic bully. He thinks international bowlers will give him slog balls every over. That's his only scoring shot.

 

[shariqnoor]

Yep. It works for 5rr because the target will hardly get out of reach. But when you are chasing 6.2 from the start, this strategy will 90 times out of 100 fail for a team like Pakistan who have mediocre batsmen.

 

[sweep_shot]

Great catch.

Ifti is out.

 

[shamaan]

Clueless Iftikhar

 

[oatmeal]

This is a great opportunity for Khushdil Shah. The run rate is still manageable and with dew. He can cement his place in the side if he plays a good knock

 

[shah_1]

Circus team with joker as a captain.

 

[PakEngFan]

Ifti is horrible against spin.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Khushdil and imam will push rate upto 12 an over

 

[shariqnoor]

And now the next two matches Pakistan will be forced to bat first. Australia will take advantage of the dew batting second. Anything else than a 3-0 australia win should be a great result for Pakistan.

 

[Thanos]

May be now Pak fans will realise it's the Imam who has kept Pakistan in the game so far.

 

[shah_1]

Chacha is a domestic bully. He think international bowlers will give him slog balls every over. That's his only scoring shot.

He got out to head, he is a mental midget. He can't handle the pressure of international cricket

 

[Omer2002]

Indeed ppl will just blame imad..our so called finisher arw awfull team is awful

 

[Cover Drive Six]
