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

[Chokli]

Still more impressed with Abid Ali than Shan Masood.

Abid looks like a natural stroke maker while Shan is more of a grinder.

Indeed, Abid doesn't seem scared to go after the bowler.

Abid inspires a bit more confidence.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Playing a lot of dots against maxwell.bravo!

 

[TeymurBlake]

Saad coming in would have been great to see.

 

[Chokli]

Haris looking to get out anytime now

 

[JibranAnsari]

Akmal looks like old citizen now.

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Haris struggling against Maxwell.

 

[babajee]

Haris has surely displaced Malik from the team now.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Needs to employ sweep shot. 3 dots.

 

[TeymurBlake]

A 6 but 4 dot balls in that over.

 

[shah_1]

Haris is so poor when it comes to dot balls

 

[nextover666666]

Pakistan need to take on the spinners here also good 50 by Shan he looks miles better than imam

 

[JibranAnsari]

Rrr is already out of reach , so outdated batting.

 

[Rafa]

Rizwan to get another ton.

Confirmed selection after 3 tons in the series

 

[Afhan Ali]

Six and 3,4 dots

 

[Justcrazy]

Good hit

 

[JibranAnsari]

Maxwell bowling @ 3.36 rpo.

 

[Chokli]

The positive thing is we won't be bowled out for 200 odd, we should get to 250 minimum.

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

These 2 should target ~170 till end of 30th over without losing wicket.

 

[TeymurBlake]

Finally a sweep.

 

[Syed1]

Izzat Bachao Mohim in effect lads

 

[JibranAnsari]

Maxwells spell will win australia the match.

 

[Syed1]

Astonishing that Pak batsmen of today are so garbage against spin. Likes of Inzi or Yousuf would be milking bowlers like Maxwell for 4-5 runs an over without breaking a sweat with an odd boundary thrown in.

 

[angeldsoul]

What the hell man buzdil batting against spinners need single off every delivery at minimum useless

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan last 4 are useless with bat , that is why there batting is looking far more bad than they could be with Hassan Ali , Shadab Khan etc

 

[JibranAnsari]

Astonishing that Pak batsmen of today are so garbage against spin. Likes of Inzi or Yousuf would be milking bowlers like Maxwell for 4-5 runs an over without breaking a sweat with an odd boundary thrown in.

Reason is pakistan domestic , the pitches are damp and usually favor garbage medium pacers. Look at the stats of last 10 years domestic , spinners have very little role to play in quaide azam trophy.

 

[TeymurBlake]

Boundary and out.

 

[babajee]

Abhi toh party shuru hui hai

 

[Justcrazy]

Rizwan gone

 

[JibranAnsari]

Lol , our meat eaters cant clear the inner circle.

 

[Titan24]

Our players just dont have the power game, Rizwan tried but

 

[JibranAnsari]

Umar akmal should play in special cricket.

 

[Chokli]

Lol , our meat eaters cant clear the inner circle.

sad state of affars

 

[Ilan Bluestone]

Umar akmal should play in special cricket.

This is too funny

 

[Chokli]

umar akmal still seems hung over from last night.

 

[HGhazanfar]

Umar Akmal can barely walk

 

[Titan24]

Good captaincy from Finch by keeping the fielders in even for Maxwell and Rizwan had to over the top to score

 

[Justcrazy]

Umar " Tullabaaz " Akmal at crease ,

Umar Akmal is perfect for 5 overs games .

 

[Mamoon]

Selfish Rizwan departs after trying to up the ante with the RRR climbing, instead of milking 1s and 2s to boost his average. I cannot cope with this selfishness any longer.

 

[Syed1]

Wait till I smack dat

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Rizzu should have just continued playing the sweep shots. Already hit a 4.

 

[TeymurBlake]

So no Saad Ali.

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Its time to say bye bye to Malik as Rizwan is a better player of spin and Haris a better player of fast bowling.

Malik is disturbing our squad.

 

[Asif321]

Today is time for another fazool Harris century

 

[JibranAnsari]

Akmal should just keep taking singles. Match is gone.

 

[Titan24]

So much risk from Umar just for that single

 

[Chokli]

why does umar akmal always have a concerned look on his face

 

[JibranAnsari]

Pitch one up , pitch one short and then pitch one up.

Umar akmal will be gone.

 

[Chokli]

Selfish Rizwan departs after trying to up the ante with the RRR climbing, instead of milking 1s and 2s to boost his average. I cannot cope with this selfishness any longer.

should have just played a selfish game, everyone already thinks he's selfish anyway.

 

[Mamoon]

Haris needs to double his score here. When was the last a Pakistani batsman scored 150 in ODIs against a non-minnow?

 

[Syed1]

I was only a lurker on PP at the time but so many 'experts' rated him more than Kohli when he emerged. Look at where Kohli is now.


Goes to show there is no substitute for hard work and determination.

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Only if Haris and Babar have sweep shot under their armory.

 

[Chokli]

looks like umar akmal didn't get enough sleep

 

[Titan24]

Haris needs to double his score here. When was the last a Pakistani batsman scored 150 in ODIs against a non-minnow?

1997 by Saeed Anwar against Ind

Surprising that nobody has ever done it against a non minnow other than Anwar.

 

[szundercover]

Haris needs to double his score here. When was the last a Pakistani batsman scored 150 in ODIs against a non-minnow?

You made a good point

 

[Rayyman]

A 50+ partnership here will put us ahead

 

[Mamoon]

1997 by Saeed Anwar against Ind

Surprising that nobody has ever done it against a non minnow other than Anwar.

Sums up our pathetic batting heritage.

 

[Chokli]

How many more balls till Umar self implodes?

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Maxwell seems to have been a persistent thorn in pakistan's flesh in the UAE. Smashed Ajmal with bat in 2012, bowled a great last over in 2014 and in this series he has performed with both bat and ball. Bogeyman seems to get you all the time

 

[Titan24]

Sums up our pathetic batting heritage.

Yes, especially in the last 5-8 years when others are scoring double tons against non minnows in ODIs.

 

[Manager101]

Umar Akmal to do a Asad Shafiq today i.e score fast in a dead rubber.

 

[Titan24]

Maxwell seems to have been a persistent thorn in pakistan's flesh in the UAE. Smashed Ajmal with bat in 2012, bowled a great last over in 2014 and in this series he has performed with both bat and ball. Bogeyman seems to get you all the time

Funny thing is that he not only scores but takes wickets at crucial times as well.

 

[Justcrazy]

Masood is looking to seal his spot here in WC with a meaningless hundred

 

[xricket]

Haris Sohail looking a lot like Pankaj Tripathy (Qaleen Bhayya).

Playing beautifully though

 

[JibranAnsari]

Akmal ready to go back to.puvillion.

 

[Titan24]

Masood is looking to seal his spot here in WC with a meaningless hundred

Masood is gone. Its Haris playing who has already a spot in WC squad I guess.

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Maxwell seems to have been a persistent thorn in pakistan's flesh in the UAE. Smashed Ajmal with bat in 2012, bowled a great last over in 2014 and in this series he has performed with both bat and ball. Bogeyman seems to get you all the time

You have good memory

 

[Bigbb]

Masood is looking to seal his spot here in WC with a meaningless hundred

Which match are you watching? Masood was out an hour ago.

 

[WCWinnerPakistan2019]

1997 by Saeed Anwar against Ind

Surprising that nobody has ever done it against a non minnow other than Anwar.

Remember watching it full innings live. What a beautiful innings that was.

 

[HGhazanfar]

Im lost do you mean Haris Sohail?

 

[Chokli]

You have good memory

gave us a scare in the 2014 World T20 as well

 

[Titan24]

Umar Akmal's bat lift is too slow as commies are saying

 

[Titan24]

Remember watching it full innings live. What a beautiful innings that was.

Nice must have been exciting.

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Nice must have been exciting.

You havent seen that innings?

You are young?

 

[Rayyman]

Umar Akmal's bat lift is too slow as commies are saying

It's fine against spin. Them Aussies don't know jack.

 

[xricket]

Umar Akmal is so lazy that he cant even hold bat in the air while bowler delivers ball, makes him late on shots. Brilliant analysis by on air commentator

 

[TeymurBlake]

Umar's somehow gained weight.

 

[Chokli]

if umar akmal takes aerial shots out of his arsenal he can be a decent player

 

[Bigbb]

Lol that was so awkward.

 

[Titan24]

You havent seen that innings?

You are young?

I have but not live. I was born some years before that but was young to follow cricket with passion then.

 

[xricket]

Haris now playing for 100. Slowing down. Selfish people, we have in team
