Australia bowled out for 89 as Pakistan seal 66-run victory in first T20I

[asadee]

Faheem gets a lot of hate

 

[Amirforpresident]

Where are the experts now?? Faheem got the wicket??

So just because he got 1 wicket, people can't critisize him?

 

[Greenstorm]

Abu Dhabi must be the worst ground to play cricket.

 

[Mueez]

4 Out.

 

[Syed1]

This is too easy for best T20 side in the world we need better opposition.

 

[Plumb]

So just because he got 1 wicket, people can't critisize him?

correct the count... Sarfi knows what he is doing. Yes he makes some blunders here and there but he knows what he is doing

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Amazing.

 

[Ummii]

So just because he got 1 wicket, people can't critisize him?

Correction 2 wickets

 

[Zeshan547]

[MENTION=138254]Syed1[/MENTION] Bro Picture abhi Baqi hai, but this is too dramatic even by Our great standards, something doesn't seem right,,

 

[Greenstorm]

Faheem gets a lot of hate

He is a very useful T20 player. Don't know what people want from him.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

This is too easy for best T20 side in the world we need better opposition.

Yup.

No competition.

Clueless batting hy Aussies

 

[Markhor]

Magnificent

 

[NeVerMind]

Poor Sarfraz who would open bowling with Faheem in his right mind

Someone who needs wickets and Faheem delivers...

 

[srh]

correct the count... Sarfi knows what he is doing. Yes he makes some blunders here and there but he knows what he is doing

do you agree that Shaheen and Hasan are better wicket taking options than Faheem in the first 6 overs?

 

[Justcrazy]

Lynn gets that away

 

[IMMY69]

5 down

3 for Imad

 

[babajee]

Shameful humiliation.

 

[Mueez]

Hahahahhahahaha 5 down!

 

[fluke]

hahahahaha

 

[Greenstorm]

do you agree that Shaheen and Hasan are better wicket taking options than Faheem in the first 6 overs?

Not on this wicket. You need pace off the ball and stump to stump bowling here.

 

[Dark_Horse]

Shameful humiliation.

Not shameful but sharamful

 

[Markhor]

This isn't one of those drop-in pitches back home. In UAE you can't go swinging from ball one.

 

[Josh]

LOOOL Australia
What a crap this team has become. I think they will suffer humiliation at home now as well from Indian team in test cricket. This has to be the lowest point in Australian cricket history in recent times.

 

[IMMY69]

6 down

 

[babajee]

Haha Rana you beast

 

[Greenstorm]

What is the lowest T20I score ?

 

[Ummii]

seriously?

 

[IMMY69]

Utter distructuon

 

[Syed1]

We don't even need Hasan, Shaheen and Shadab

 

[ARK Rafay]

Bowleds are the best thing in cricketing world.

 

[IMMY69]

Only two bowlers used so far ��

 

[Syed1]

Shameful humiliation.

Just the reality check that our fans needed

 

[NeVerMind]

do you agree that Shaheen and Hasan are better wicket taking options than Faheem in the first 6 overs?

Faheem gets another....you should just go quiet now

 

[Arham_PakFan]

What a joke this Aussie lineup is.

 

[Mueez]

Loving this babahhahahahha

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Hahahahaha, the look on Langer's face. ) )

 

[Swashbuckler]

LOL men vs boys.

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Faheem actually is a decent seam bowler and gets unnecessary criticism. Though hasn't unleashed his true batting potential yet.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Have 2 bowlers ever bowled out a team in T20?

A good chance now.

 

[DeadBall]

NZ A side is probably better than this.

 

[Justcrazy]

22 . 6

Australia ship sinking very fast

 

[Markhor]

Revenge for all those years of humiliation at the hands of Australia.

This is payback for Sharjah 2002 Test

 

[castortroy]

Wow I have never seen Australia like this

 

[Greenstorm]

Faheem akram got Bairstow the same way at Lords test.

 

[Plumb]

do you agree that Shaheen and Hasan are better wicket taking options than Faheem in the first 6 overs?

Doesn't matter, How a player is being used that's what matters.

 

[Justcrazy]

Australia should look to bat out the overs here

 

[JibranAnsari]

imad seems like the captain out there

 

[Plumb]

Team 'll reach fifty or no??? This is all thanks to the trophy... Demoralized Aussies

 

[DeadBall]

Lowest T20 score 39 by the Netherlands.

 

[m.shah]

Imad looks fit

 

[KingKhanWC]

Imam now sprinting like Bolt.

 

[Justcrazy]

Aussies should look to get some batting practice here

 

[Nado_]

Australia should now only aim to save some izzat and try to reach over 50. Real talk

 

[Plumb]

Imad looks fit

Taken the humiliation of yoyo test too seriously

 

[castortroy]

This wicket is pretty quick and nippy

 

[Greenstorm]

Why didn't we bowled like this in Asia cup ? Most of our bowlers bowled too short in that tournament.

 

[Savak]

Lol, people thought the decline of the WI team was bad, look at the present aussies and compare them to the invincible side from 1999 to 2008.

 

[Swashbuckler]

Please get them all out under 50.

 

[babajee]

Hasan looking in good rhythm.

 

[srh]

Why didn't we bowled like this in Asia cup ? Most of our bowlers bowled too short in that tournament.

Imad is the one missing there

 

[Markhor]

4 years ago Pakistan played Australia in the UAE in a T20.

We were restricted to 96 for 9 after 20 overs. The lineup read:

Ahmed Shehzad, Awais Zia, Umar Amin, Sohaib Maqsood, Saad Nasim, Umar Akmal, Shahid Afridi, Anwar Ali, Wahab Riaz, Raza Hasan and Mohammad Irfan.

4 years later it's a much different story.

 

[Abdullah719]

Faheem actually is a decent seam bowler and gets unnecessary criticism. Though hasn't unleashed his true batting potential yet.

The ball to Lynn was a real jaffa.

Angled in then held its line and took out off-stump.

 

[Syed1]

The ball to Lynn was a real jaffa.

Angled in then held its line and took out off-stump.

Similar to the one he bowled to Dickwella in CT

 

[Markhor]

Don't let up, bowl them out for the cheapest score possible.

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

The ball to Lynn was a real jaffa.

Angled in then held its line and took out off-stump.

Got Johny with a similar one too.

 

[MenInG]

Wish there was a bonus point to be had in this series....

Afridi must be the captain of that line up.

 

[JibranAnsari]

faheem ashraf , i believe , can be a very good test bowler.

 

[El Generico]

Poor Sarfraz who would open bowling with Faheem in his right mind

Sarfraz deserves criticism at times but some here seem to have something personal against him. Every call that Sarfraz has made today on the field has proved to be a good one but yet he was attacked. I wonder why?

 

[Greenstorm]

faheem ashraf , i believe , can be a very good test bowler.

Actually can be a very good test allrounder.

 

[Justcrazy]

37 . 6

9 overs

Aussies looking to bat out 20 overs , which is the right way to go

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Afridi must be the captain of that line up.

Shahid 'There is no talent in Pakistan' Afridi kaho bhai.

Wonder how we haven't lost a single t20 series after his departure and World t20 2016 debacle. Itna talent kahan sai agya?

 

[nextover666666]

Australia's lowest total ever in t20 Match is 79

 

[Swashbuckler]

Not that I care excessively about IPL, but man is the league missing out on some Pakistani guns.

 

[JaDed]

Why didn't we bowled like this in Asia cup ? Most of our bowlers bowled too short in that tournament.

Aus in Asia aren't same as Asian teams in Asia.

 

[Mercurial]

Sarfraz is a bus conductor )

 

[WhenSultansBowled]

faheem ashraf , i believe , can be a very good test bowler.

Same as Pandya (and by no means want to derail thread): Pakistan must persist with him.

I like all three of Shadab, Faheem and Pandya. They have the x factor if nurtured.

 

[JaDed]

Lol, people thought the decline of the WI team was bad, look at the present aussies and compare them to the invincible side from 1999 to 2008.

They still are world champions. all this criticism would hold good ,if they don't reach semis in WC next year.

 

[El Generico]

do you agree that Shaheen and Hasan are better wicket taking options than Faheem in the first 6 overs?

Its about roles, its not a video game where the highest rated bowlers should bowl first. Faheem can move the new ball while Hassan/Shaheen can be more effective in the middle and the end overs

 

[Greenstorm]

Aus in Asia aren't same as Asian teams in Asia.

I know but stump to stump bowling is the key in UAE. Indian new ball bowlers succeeded because of that approach whereas our bowlers lacked discipline.
