Australia defeat Pakistan by 20 runs despite Haris Sohail's 130 to seal 5-0 whitewash

[ManFan]

It never ceases to amaze me how after all these years people still believe Umar Akmal will come good.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Game over. This is why umar akmal shudnt ve in wc squad

 

[Mueez]

Tbh if the shot was timed properly it would’ve been a humongous six...

 

[Bewal Express]

A loss of 30 runs on the cards.

 

[Syed1]

You guys actually thought I'll take you home? sike

 

[Afhan Ali]

Haris should start over Malik

You are right but Pakistan team management will never do it as senior come first

 

[adzzy786]

Brain **** strikes again. This guy needs to be kicked out of the team again once and for all. No Match awareness SELFISHLY throws away his wicket at the most crucial times in a match. Been doing this for years yet people act on this forum he is our saviour.

 

[IAJ]

Lols asking Rameez about new pakistani players is useless

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

Saad Ali's SR in List A is 84. That will not do.

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Imad Wasim should have come.

 

[Bewal Express]

Let's see what Saad is about.

Looks good at the crease but is batting too low and under too pressure to show anything.

 

[NeVerMind]

I repeat..Umar Akmal has never, ever finished a game for Pakistan.

 

[Afhan Ali]

And gone

 

[Darkness]

Tbh if the shot was timed properly it would’ve been a humongous six...

After seeing the elevation I also thought so XD

 

[Titan24]

Tbh if the shot was timed properly it would’ve been a humongous six...

He shouldnt have tried to hit it that hard, with decent timings and keeping himself still he might have hit it better

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

Zero faith in Imad Wasim to deliver when chips are down.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Poor shot to get out.

 

[Hasan123]

[MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] no certificates of selfishness being given out to Haris now for getting out?

 

[Darkness]

Imad Wasim should have come.

Your wish is granted

 

[shah_1]

Out

 

[NeVerMind]

And that's the match...we still don't have a finisher

 

[sindhiboy]

why on earth is saad ali, a top order fc batsman coming at no . 6?

 

[Nikhil_cric]

RRR above 9. OZ looking to squeeze Pakistan here.

 

[Hasan123]

Haris should be in the WC squad but in situations like this , more often than not he won't get us over the line.

 

[HGhazanfar]

Thats the match, Imad is garbage

 

[Afhan Ali]

As usual soft dismissal

 

[IAJ]

Brain **** strikes again. This guy needs to be kicked out of the team again once and for all. No Match awareness SELFISHLY throws away his wicket at the most crucial times in a match. Been doing this for years yet people act on this forum he is our saviour.

Only in Pakistan this is tolerated. Had he been indian or from any other country he would have been only playing domestic cricket at best.

 

[iPakistani]

[MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] no certificates of selfishness being given out to Haris now for getting out?

How much did you want him to make? 160 or 170? Crazy fans man honestly

 

[Titan24]

Haris should be in the WC squad but in situations like this , more often than not he won't get us over the line.

We dont have any batsmen who can get us over the line while chasing 300 plus

 

[Afhan Ali]

Congrats minnow on another -5 victory

 

[Syed1]

Normally 89 off last 10 with 5 wickets in hand would have been a good possibility for most sides, but not his garbage side with no batsmen to follow after Imad.

 

[Mamoon]

[MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] no certificates of selfishness being given out to Haris now for getting out?

150 was on, but unfortunately he is too selfish.

 

[Mueez]

Congrats minnow on another -5 victory

Jisko aap minnow kehra hai, woh aap hi kha mulk hai

 

[Nikhil_cric]

What a selfish ton by Sohail. Any ton scored at less than 120 SR is not good enough imo

 

[JibranAnsari]

Doesnt look like saad has any power game. Doesnt seem.like a timer either.

 

[Madplayer]

These two innings of Saad have shown me enough to say that he doesnt belong below number 4.

 

[Titan24]

If Saad Ali was to be played at this number why couldnt we have selected Asif Ali or Iftikhar or even Sohail Akhtar

 

[Zhasan]

And Tendulkar sorry Haris' innings comes to the logical end.

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Match gone and series gone.

Hopefully Haris and Rizwan has ended the career of Malik.

 

[babajee]

These two innings of Saad have shown me enough to say that he doesnt belong below number 4.

Lacks talent.

 

[adzzy786]

Tbh if the shot was timed properly it would’ve been a humongous six...

If the ground was smaller it would have been six
If the wind was blowing it would have been six
If he was using Kohli’s bat it would have been six
If the fielder fell over it would have almost been six
If there was no fielder it would have almost been six
But If If If If
But it wasn’t he’s out..

 

[Chokli]

Saad is garbage

 

[HGhazanfar]

How much did you want him to make? 160 or 170? Crazy fans man honestly

I think Hafeez, Asif Ali will be answer to the finishing

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Saad Ali should really try doing something. Show some intent at the least.

 

[Syed1]

These two innings of Saad have shown me enough to say that he doesnt belong below number 4.

Filhaal tou below 4 nahi 14 hona chahye.

 

[xricket]

What is Saad ali even doing? Is he practicing in nets? Should get off strike if he wants to waste balls

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Saad is garbage

He is a grinder. Wrong format.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Any update on hafeeZs recovery?

 

[MMHS]

I repeat..Umar Akmal has never, ever finished a game for Pakistan.

He has done few crunch games for sure - I can instantly recall an elimination game against SAF in 2012 WC (T20), and a CT game against WIN at J'burg, but that was before he was spoiled. Point is not that, point is chasing 327, you can't expect to win after allowing to grow the asking at 9 - what else could he have done here? methodical 1-2 won't win it, eventual result will be same like Game 4. Someone had to go after as Haris hasn't moved from run a ball rate after 125+ balls.

 

[Afhan Ali]

As mamoon always says these Saad's, Saud's Zeeshan's are not the solution of Pakitan cricket are right fact.
Saad is another slow batter ( tuk tuk)

 

[Chokli]

He is a grinder. Wrong format.

in the mold of Fawad Alam?

 

[Hasan123]

We dont have any batsmen who can get us over the line while chasing 300 plus

I agree that is why I don't accuse players of selfishness. It's a lack of ability not selfishness.

 

[Titan24]

I think Hafeez, Asif Ali will be answer to the finishing

Asif Ali might not be answer straight away but atleast he can become one with experience

 

[JibranAnsari]

Saud shakeel is definitely better from what i have seen.

 

[Angrez Pakistani]

It boggles my mind seeing Saad with no feet movement (against pacers) to have a good first class record.

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Saad reminds me of Fawad's hopelessness.

 

[Hasan123]

How much did you want him to make? 160 or 170? Crazy fans man honestly

My point isn't about him getting out. Others were accusing Rizwan of selfishness but when Haris gets out when the team needed him nothing is said.

 

[Bigbb]

RRR over 10.
Good night fellas.

 

[HGhazanfar]

As mamoon always says these Saad's, Saud's Zeeshan's are not the solution of Pakitan cricket are right fact.
Saad is another slow batter ( tuk tuk)

Zeeshan Malik is a powerful striker

 

[xricket]

It looks to me as if Saad Ali doesn't even care about the target. He shows no intent at all. Looks selfish af. Should be kept away from team

 

[Chokli]

Zeeshan Malik is a powerful striker

so was sahibzada farhan and asif ali

 

[Madplayer]

My point isn't about him getting out. Others were accusing Rizwan of selfishness but when Haris gets out when the team needed him nothing is said.

Haris was chasing 330. Rizwan was chasing what, 260? A centurion had come before Rizwan scored a century. Today Haris was doing everything by his own.

 

[Mueez]

This would’ve been an ideal situation to see if Asif Ali can be the finisher which we are waiting for.

But Inzi didn’t select him...

 

[IAJ]

Other countries have luxury probem of who to select for finishing the games and we will even take an Yusuf Pathan type with open arms, tells about the state of our talent

 

[AAli98]

imad is in which usually means the opposition has won. Pak will celebrate with a cake cutting ceremony as Saad has got of the mark.. such is the pathetic state of the team!!

 

[Bigbb]

4 runs from the last 2 overs.

 

[Syed1]

2(8) for Saad mashallah

 

[Afhan Ali]

Saad is not useful for us especially in limited overs because Babar, Imam and haris can do what he is doing with better average and Strike rate

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

in the mold of Fawad Alam?

Indeed.

Someone who can bat for hours and doesnt give his wicket away.

 

[NeVerMind]

This is so painful to watch...

 

[Snowflake]

You can sense the disappointment in Ramiz voice )

 

[Chokli]

it's harder to time the ball for new batsmen

 

[IAJ]

You can sense the disappointment in Ramiz voice )

He deserves it

Weren't you the one pointing out Imads average and strike rate 2 games ago. This is why we never include big strikers, our fans get stuck on stats rather than seeing players for roles and potential

 

[shah_1]

Saad Ali should stick to longer format

Saud is better

 

[Titan24]

It still surprises me what so many test batsmen are doing in this team

 

[Syed1]

Last 3 overs 7 runs

 

[asadee]

Does Saad hit boundaries in FC cricket?

 

[Nikhil_cric]

RRR almost 12. 5-0 what a demolition job by Australia .
