[Rinnegan Sasuke]

What's Lara doing in Imam's jersey?

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

good going for an over .... over to singles please

 

[Hyperion66]

Shabash Imam!!

 

[Chokli]

It only took a few shots to get their run rate back up.

But noo hooo noo hur dur dur dur hur IMAM WHY DID YOU HAVE TO PUT PRESSURE ON FAKHAR :'(

Somebody call the whambulance.

 

[Kroll]

Lets take care of this Cummins trundler

 

[Snowflake]

You'll be 40/4 in the first 10 if Imam doesn't see off the new ball.

Yes, that is the reasoning behind this plan. I'm just struggling to recall games where Pak successfully implemented this approach. I feel like we've always chased better whenever we've come out with intent.

 

[QalandarFan]

Ay wake up to my boy Amir picking up a 5fer!!! Wish this match was on a weekend.

 

[Plumb]

Imam kid don't be complacent please be very careful... you need to stay there from one end

 

[babajee]

Shabash Imam!!

Support Pakistan today ok.

 

[Rathore]

Babar u freaking beatiful player

 

[Ahmed216]

Breathtaking drives!!

 

[kingusama92]

Wow!

That's class from Babar.

 

[Syed1]

Boys only dealing in boundaries. We will chase this in 25 overs

 

[Mueez]

Babar

 

[Markhor]

Lovely cover drives.

 

[Ronaldo7]

Babar's one of the most aesthetically pleasing batsmen I've even seen.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

This just makes Fakhar's hacking look even worse.

 

[Green Patriot]

Lord he is beautiful.

 

[QalandarFan]

It was long time coming

 

[Itachi]

Meh.... Aus B team is really bad.

 

[Mp812]

Imam was right. He can take care of Starc

 

[Pk716]

Don't know why people here troll imam. He is perfectly doing his job.

 

[babajee]

Babar's one of the most aesthetically pleasing batsmen I've even seen.

I would argue he is the most aesthetically pleasing in the world at the moment.

 

[Rana]

Pakistan right in this

 

[Syed1]

This just makes Fakhar's hacking look even worse.

Man its been four overs since he was dismissed yet you are crying on every post ever since

 

[Ahmed216]

Wow absolutely no intent for singles

 

[Chokli]

Yes, that is the reasoning behind this plan. I'm just struggling to recall games where Pak successfully implemented this approach. I feel like we've always chased better whenever we've come out with intent.

All the other teams are following this approach too lol.

And yes it works in T20s but not in ODIS especially since the pitches are not all super flat.

 

[Afhan Ali]

Yar kuch dot par single hee lai liya karo

 

[malik29695]

Tough very tough

 

[mrtaim3]

Babar and Imam making it look like a difficult pitch but i don't see any movement whatsoever. Babar has been playing too many dots here. The least you could do is rotate strike.

 

[Syed1]

45-50/1 after 10 is good

 

[Mean&Green]

Gambhir going gaga over babar saying he can be a GOAT

 

[Ronaldo7]

I would argue he is the most aesthetically pleasing in the world at the moment.

Where's faheem?

 

[Chokli]

Don't forget Wahab got Finch early on and had Warner out just after his 100.

Not getting 2 wickets is demoralising.

 

[Madplayer]

Imam bhai thoda halke

 

[Fahdi]

Imam Lucky to survive that edge

 

[hur rizvi]

straightaway produces a nick richardson

 

[QalandarFan]

Bruh has there been anything other than a boundary/dot in this innings

 

[Snowflake]

All the other teams are following this approach too lol.

And yes it works in T20s but not in ODIS especially since the pitches are not all super flat.

That's why I specifically mentioned Pakistan. We're not known to pace our innings well. Not questioning the logic of the plan, just wondering if it suits our style of play or not.

 

[Billa86]

Head down boys and please concentrate...

 

[dildilpak]

ATM they are dealing in 4’s or dots. Not a good strategy- they need to rotate the strike

 

[Mehndi155]

Babar giving vibes of his brother in arm haris sohail
Would love to see both play together

 

[Syed1]

Yaar atleast look for singlesssssssssss

 

[Mkumar825]

Good going Pak

 

[Chokli]

Babar and Imam making it look like a difficult pitch but i don't see any movement whatsoever. Babar has been playing too many dots here. The least you could do is rotate strike.

Mate, you have to get yourself in.

What part of getting yourself in do you not understand?

Not all bowlers are halwa bowlers like Hasan and Shaheen.


Look at how a good bowler like Amir kept Warner and Finch quiet.

 

[Mueez]

Who is this Richardson?

 

[Green Patriot]

Finally a single lol.

 

[cricket.mad]

Pakistan will chase it today

 

[Madplayer]

What a shot by Bobby )

 

[Afhan Ali]

Rain has arrived?

 

[Chokli]

That's why I specifically mentioned Pakistan. We're not known to pace our innings well. Not questioning the logic of the plan, just wondering if it suits our style of play or not.

Of course it does, that's how we've always played.

 

[Red Devil]

In before we make this discount Jason Gillespie a superstar.

 

[Syed1]

Bobby has 20 runs from 5 fours )

 

[Ronaldo7]

Jeez. The boundaries are proper short.

 

[Snowflake]

This is a fairly decent start. Put your head down and work the field now, boys.

Need to out a price on your wicket.

 

[Fahdi]

That one handed wrist work by Babar

 

[Shafi]

How much do we have to score in 20 overs to win against Australia, in case rain comes

 

[sshakir411]

Need to take more singles. Both playing with dead bats and just scoring boundaries

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Man its been four overs since he was dismissed yet you are crying on every post ever since

At least I'm not criticising the players who are actually out there doing the job for not rotating the strike enough.

 

[Syed1]

Where at on the DWL?

 

[Green Patriot]

Rain has arrived?

What?no?who said so?

 

[QalandarFan]

Who is this Richardson?

BBL bowler, pretty whack bowler from what I’ve seen.

 

[Mueez]

Didn’t know Babar was a left handed batsman...

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

Lets enjoy this now

 

[Syed1]

Good over... it even had 2 singles in it

 

[Pakpak]

Rain has arrived?

why chat nonsense

 

[Ronaldo7]

Where at on the DWL?

Too early. Let 20 overs pass first.

 

[Tubs]

Jesus Richardson with a decent over

 

[Afhan Ali]

What?no?who said so?

Skies are looking dark
That's why i ask

 

[Fahdi]

Imam is not a good puller of the ball. He either needs to shelve that shot or work hard to improve it.

 

[Mueez]

BBL bowler, pretty whack bowler from what I’ve seen.

Ah okay, seems like the weak link of Australian bowling lineup.

 

[saabir]

Now Pakistan just need to play the normal cricket. Opening burst of Starch and Cummins over.balls seems little softer.

 

[Boi]

NCN will swing it. Imam LBW candidate here

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

DRS will not be a good outcome for us ........ if it rains. as AUS went for a flyer in start. Am I Right?

 

[Syed1]

Ok opening burst finished... now need to bat at 5 rpo for the next 6-10 overs

 

[Green Patriot]

Skies are looking dark
That's why i ask

Oh.No not yet.

 

[castortroy]

You know we will make Richardson look like world class

 

[Hasan123]

Babar needs to bat till the end . Should just aim to rotate the strike. Avoid dot balls. That's how the pressure builds.

 

[chacha kashmiri]

Imam only dealing in boundaries

 

[Ronaldo7]

DRS will not be a good outcome for us ........ if it rains. as AUS went for a flyer in start. Am I Right?

No. That's not how it works.
