Australia v Pakistan | 17th Match, World Cup | Taunton | June 12, 2019 | Australia innings

[adil79]

Asif ali in slips when he cant even catch properly.

 

[Greenstorm]

Shaheen at 19 years of age is trying half cooked yorkers, shortballs when the only thing he should have been perfecting at this age was off stump good length line. Poor stuff from team management if thats their strategy or even if he is doing it own his own. He hasnt even played a full first class season.

I posted it here when Shaheen was making his debut that he should be kept away from T20s. Hassan and Shaheen cannot hold their line and length because they play too many T20s.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Hasan Ali's stock ball is the biggest weakness of Finch. But that is early on. Once he is set that is all immaterial.

 

[ekpakistani]

One wicket and we are back in the game in sha Allah

 

[castortroy]

How can you bowl like this in a world Cup game

Sarfraz and Arthur have to be sacked after this tournament

 

[Afhan Ali]

Washout. I

Is there any chance of rain?

 

[adil79]

One wicket and we are back in the game in sha Allah

Yes, we might even world cup

 

[Khan12]

Hafeez had a catch dropped before he got smashed lol.

No excuse tho hes bowling trash. But do you really expect him to skittle the aus line up loll

Atleast keep it tight.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Hilarious trash

 

[Hasan123]

Remember when experts said our full strength team with Sarfraz as captain would challenge Australia during the UAE series ? )

Australia beat us black and blue with a under strength side. Imagine what they would have done with today's team.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Why the truck did'nt they pick shadab....i guess he would have offered more with the ball....terrific fielder and above average bat....and can you believe it....aussies have done the saem -dropped zampa....there is a sameness to both bowling attacks....still feel if pak start bowling better they havea good chance....

 

[castortroy]

One wicket and we are back in the game in sha Allah

Lol

We have been getting smashed for 300 plus for the last 3 months

Game is over

 

[Mueez]

Give Amir one over and bring the field in.

 

[Zeshan547]

is there no realistic chance of rain?

 

[UP]

Why aren’t horns allowed in the wc? Atmosphere seems dead.

Match over for me.

 

[Sir-fraz]

which catch he dropped? Was it because of his fitness?

Off of hafeez, it was a reaction catch, but sarfaraz is so unfit that he cant take those catches.

Hes too fat to be a good keeper. Unathletic

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

We really need wicketss thats the only thing that can help us RIGHT NOW

 

[Titan24]

But he haz PSL experience and he is ready for big stage, like IPL talent

If he was being handled well he could have been handy at this stage as he showed against NZ and SA. He and coaching staff got bit carried away with his development and he has been given too much to work on. Even if he is trying all of these himself management should tell him to dont try any thing else in first 10 overs other than bowling basic length deliveries on off stump. When you try too much which you dont have control on, you struggle with your radar more often than not.

 

[thanuu]

Sarfi Bhai is busy counting chinks in India's armour. He deputed some of his squad at it. Respect his professionalism.

 

[Hasan123]

Is there any chance of rain?

No we are getting a full game.

We don't deserve a point for this pathetic performance.

 

[saeedhk]

Australia will a muzzle on our players’ big mouths. Absolute humiliation awaits us.

 

[castortroy]

Hasan hype should be finished now

To arrogant and turning into another mohammed Sami

 

[Mkumar825]

Wicket coming soon

 

[mrtaim3]

Amir takes the wicket. Thank God

 

[imshally81]

Yesss

 

[Usergame]

Pakistan bowling is one of the weakest of the teams in this tournament.

England win was bit of a fluke- imo the 4th semifinalist is between NZ and West Indies. Pakistan can be a "spoiler" type of team though.

 

[szundercover]

Lol

We have been getting smashed for 300 plus for the last 3 months

Game is over

We will chase 300 ,I trust this batting line up.

 

[Fahdi]

Amir gets one! But more surprisingly we caught one!

 

[obaidshariq]

That maybe includes you?

 

[jnaveen1980]

This is not unpredictability. This is predictability. Pakistan conceded 300 against England in all the matches even in world cup they conceded 334. Now on course to concede 300 plus to Australia. So that is consistency.

 

[Mueez]

Amir!!!!!

 

[Markhor]

Brainless batting.

 

[Sycamore]

And ppl wanted Amir not at this WC

 

[RamLakhan]

This pointless response deserves a response. You get IPL contract when you do well against India not badly against India. Maxwell, Sam Curran, Ngidi many get their contracts because of doing well against them not sucking against them. Second of all Warner was the captain of a franchise until he got involved in ball tampering. He is still their no.1 player to be retained.

We have small hearts perhaps but they do seem to have tiniest brain!

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Amir has been brilliant. Even [MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] will admit it

 

[Billa86]

So I guess we all know... which Pakistan team turned up today ....

 

[IMMY69]

Finally...

 

[Hasan123]

Amir is the only player who can hold his head high so far in this WC. He's done well in all the games.

 

[Mp812]

Our players and fans are only good at running their mouths against better teams.

Do u suffer from depression or something lol

Suffers a rare diseases where only reality is seen and accepted and analysed as is... it's a very very rare condition

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Tough game to watch, time to catch up on some zzzz

 

[mrtaim3]

Is the damage already done?

 

[szundercover]

We needed to get finch,A very important wicket.

 

[Titan24]

Amir just does the basics right and gets the rewards, something to learn for Shaheen

 

[saeedhk]

Where are those who were saying Pakistan is one of the favorites?

 

[Rana]

Amir clearly a superstar in England for the Pakistan fans.

Quite similar to how Shah Rukh Khan was over with his fans in the diaspora

 

[hur rizvi]

Pitch is max 250 pitch still has movement and that just puts into perspective how awful they have been

 

[UP]

Finally lucky Finch gone.

 

[Ellipsism]

What the hell was that

 

[barah_admi]

Horrendous bowling and field placements here...

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Brainless batting.

Have to agree there. What was he thinking

 

[jnaveen1980]

28 overs left to go nuts.

 

[kingusama92]

Amir is the only PAK player that showed up today. Embarrassing from everyone else.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Need 3 more Asap

 

[thanuu]

good one Amir. ball is stopping. will be tough chasing 270. good luck green army

 

[Rana]

We needed to get finch,A very important wicket.

Warner needs to go also

 

[AAli98]

Amir is the only player who can hold his head high so far in this WC. He's done well in all the games.

His only doing well because his place is in jeopardy, rest are cushy

 

[szundercover]

Amir is the only player who can hold his head high so far in this WC. He's done well in all the games.

Dont forget imam,fakhar,babar,hafeez,sarfraz ,wahab and shadab.

 

[saeedhk]

Too much damage done. Even if they collapse, 320 is on.

 

[Billa86]

Pakistan have been very poor indeed today...

 

[jnaveen1980]

Amir just does the basics right and gets the rewards, something to learn for Shaheen

Amir has better release of the ball. In English conditions you just have to release without holding too tight nicely. That is why he does well here compared to other parts of the world.

 

[hussain.r97]

Get Smith and Warner/Khawaja now, and we're back in this.

 

[Sycamore]

Hafeez and Malik are like 80 year Olds whilst running

 

[Green Patriot]

Warner needs to go also

Steve as well.

 

[PerfectionPersonified]

We don’t deserve semi

 

[Shafi]

Our team doesn't have it. Even scoring 150 runs will be challenging for our batsmen with this condition. We have to win against SA. BD and AFG and hoping one of match against IND or NZ wash out.

 

[Hasan123]

Shouldn't allow Smith singles.

 

[hur rizvi]

Need Wahab to batter cheating pair's head with bumpers

 

[Titan24]

5 good overs for opposition team and our team goes completely down, captain should be the one to lift them up in my opinion rather than him being looking depressed himself.

 

[Rana]

Steve as well.

You can add Glenn into that list

 

[jnaveen1980]

You are going to see some crazy running now.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

The Amir chants are actually pretty sad. One wicket from Finch getting over confident and the fans are jumping around.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Smith got plenty of time another hundrer coming

 

[Hasan123]

Dont forget imam,fakhar,babar,hafeez,sarfraz ,wahab and shadab.

1 game they performed in . Amir has done well in all 3 games.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

This is beautiful bowling

 

[hur rizvi]

Still movement available

Awesome from Amir but awful for Pakistani batsmen

 

[Titan24]

Amir has better release of the ball. In English conditions you just have to release without holding too tight nicely. That is why he does well here compared to other parts of the world.

Agreed. Irrespective of wickets he bowls and targets the good lengths rather than experimenting too much as you have seen some other Pak bowlers do.

 

[Fahdi]

Wahab and Amir have carried our bowling this WC. Shadab was great in that one match.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Ball is still doing a bit. I think Amir's skill level is different. No point in blaming Shaheen.

 

[LongtimeLurk3r]

Amir making Warner dance. Very suspicious from Warner - esp after he's set.

 

[thanuu]

why scrambled seam???
