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

[AFM]

Asif better play a blinder and win us the game.

Awful fielding.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Asif ali has to score a 50 to neutrailze what he conceded.

 

[Afhan Ali]

Asif ali is just a poor poor player

 

[Sir-fraz]

Asif has to be dropped...

 

[castortroy]

Another drop lol

 

[tahir_dj]

Seriously pathetic

 

[Green Patriot]

Asif is not mentally fit to play.
Lets not destory him further.He should have been rested.

 

[IMMY69]

You can't win games of cricket if you drop sitters like that...

Also, I'm I have a feeling of red that the Aussie bowlers are going to blow us away on this wicket.

 

[Sirris]

Everytime I check the scorecard all I see is dropped, dropped and dropped.

....

 

[Darkness]

Asif should be dropped even if he plays a gem of a knock with the bat bcz he is such a liability in the field

 

[Mujtaba2900]

Asif Ali And Sarfraz To Some extent Pakistan worst Fielders For Quite Some time now.

 

[aukhan]

Didn't Asif drop the one in slips too?

yes he did.

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

Not happy here,

 

[jnaveen1980]

I repeat what is the role of Asif Ali in the team ?

Open the batting with Fakhar Zaman

 

[Boxer]

great drop, will cost Pak this match

 

[Ram Shekhar]

I repeat what is the role of Asif Ali in the team ?

He's the only power hitter in the absence of Imad here..

 

[Gullycricket]

Asif Ali needs to be dropped for this pathetic fielding

 

[Rayyman]

This is going to be a tough match...

 

[Shafi]

Our team is bunch of unfit players!!!!

 

[jnaveen1980]

Pitch is doing a bit when you hit the right length. It is going to do something all day. Probably will do a lot more with more cloud hanging in the afternoon.

 

[Mean&Green]

Bruv this **** guy again I feel for him and all but what a gully cricketer

 

[volcyz]

Mark my words Asif will score a first ball duck too

 

[Rathore]

Asif ali droping a sitter? YOU SEEM SURPRISED!

 

[imshally81]

Just 4 runs in last over

 

[imshally81]

Mark my words Asif will score a first ball duck too

Itz seems

 

[saeedhk]

Asif Ali needs to be dropped. He isn’t mentally there. He should have never been selected.

 

[NauV]

Asif ali has almost single handedly put us out of the game in the firt 37 overs of the match . . dropped finch . . now warner . . has given away 17 runs in the field

 

[Boi]

This is NOT a flat pitch. We are going to get blown away

 

[jnaveen1980]

Pk's fielding is club standard.

But club fielders catch those.

 

[Markhor]

If Steve Rixon was still fielding coach, forget giving a rollocking he'd lock everyone in a room and roll a grenade into it.

The fielding has been baby level.

 

[Gladiators]

Asif fielded terribly in the warmup series too. Has to be dropped. A liability in the field, and doesn't really live up to his power hitting tag too often.

Unbelievable.

 

[UP]

The pitch has it in for pacers. But our brainless bottlers bottled it in the beginning.

 

[Gullycricket]

Are we trying to lose badly to Aussies so as to create enough pressure to comback against India

 

[kirkut fan]

Third drop by Asif Ali in 2 matches, something clearly wrong there. Must put up with Imad Wasim’s hitting+predictable bowling instead of risking chances missed with Asif
Let’s not forget what happened with Rahat Ali last time

 

[Mueez]

It is not a good idea to play Asif in such circumstances.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Movement, bounce everything is on offer.

 

[Boxer]

expect another 2 drops in the next 10 overs.

 

[Billa86]

Pakistan Batting = Regressed
Bowling = Regressed
Fielding = Regressed

Sums up Pakistan cricket since ICC CT.

 

[Inswing]

Asif ali is just mentally unfit he even wont score a single run today

 

[Mean&Green]

There is everything in this pitch pace and bounce comes on nicely Australian bowlers will cause havoc on us were just awaiting the expected now

 

[Ronaldo7]

Pakistan Batting = Regressed
Bowling = Regressed
Fielding = Regressed

Sums up Pakistan cricket since ICC CT.

The batting hasn't regressed.

 

[90MPH]

Asif ali has to score a 50 to neutrailze what he conceded.

No he owes 100 for those 2 sitters.

He’s mediocre anyway, a poor mans Abdul Razzaq.

 

[castortroy]

Pak will be 50-3 after 12 overs

 

[shah_1]

This is NOT a flat pitch. We are going to get blown away

I agree

 

[Hasan123]

Buttler role. Our fanbase is hilarious.

 

[Slim]

Yar hadh ho gayi hai, its so depressing to see us drop so many catches in a single match.

We really need to bring Rixon back.

 

[angeldsoul]

Lol crap pakistan

 

[Mueez]

We will get blown away by Starc and Cummins.

 

[Halaribo]

Asif has been a passenger the whole tournament.

He is not in the right frame of mind to be playing.

Or he's just crap.

 

[ekpakistani]

 

[Ilan Bluestone]

This is embarrassing.

 

[Invincible Gujjar]

Gujjar nu gussa ni charha oye.wahab is gonna kill asif

 

[Boxer]

Pak bowlers blowing their hearts out. Great pace.

 

[IAJ]

It will depend on our fielding. If we can stop boundaries down third man, if keeper can be a more active, and if we hold all of our cathes, then we have a chance

I wrote that post above two hours before match started, Our fielding has been crap to say the least

 

[Mueez]

 

[imshally81]

 

[amirm]

Rain will save pak

 

[Afridi96]

But that is how the majority thinks. It is a result of this mentality that we take pride in labels like unpredictability, cornered tigers etc. even though it doesn’t mean anything.

Even today half of the posters on this forum think that India is not playing cricket with Pakistan because they are afraid.

Never met a Pakistani fan that doesn’t want Pakistan to be a consistent team...

 

[ViciousMachine]

GONE!! Bowlers trying hard, need a strong finish here boys!!

 

[Titan24]

Good catch from Imam, it was very high

 

[Hasan123]

Imam is mentally strong.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

If Steve Rixon was still fielding coach, forget giving a rollocking he'd lock everyone in a room and roll a grenade into it.

The fielding has been baby level.

So who's the fielding coach(if there is one) ....grant is the batting, azhar is the bowling...mickey a is the overall coach...

 

[IAJ]

FInally

 

[Gladiators]

Thank god. The second Asif drop didn't cost us too much.

 

[Slim]

Finally Imam gets his catch after giving 3 bloody chances to Warner ***.

 

[Sycamore]

Now is the time boys, keep going full yorkers. Carey, Khawaja, NCN

 

[Green Patriot]

Warner gone.

This pitch is not easy though.We have our work cut out for us.

 

[Markhor]

Australia haven't batted brilliantly today, that's the frustration.

Boult and co would've bundled these out for under 220 in these conditions.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Warner gone. Every time they tried to attack against good balls they got out. Basically that is what Pakistan will have to do. Attacking good balls. Cummins will give nothing away.

 

[IMMY69]

240 is the score Aussies should have ended on and even that would be difficult to chase..

 

[Mujtaba2900]

Afridi has recovered well

 

[volcyz]

Imam showing how it’s done lol

 

[Boxer]

Now the chance for Pak to bowl Aussies under 300

 

[Mean&Green]

These guys haven’t played in weeks and all their fingers are taped like they’ve been working in cement factories or something

 

[LongtimeLurk3r]

Warner finally runs out of lives....

3 batsmen have got out the same way today. The pitch must have spongy bounce in that area.

 

[NauV]

this ground is unique for having 11 trees in the outfield (pak fielders).

lol

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

Carey next?

 

[Ilan Bluestone]

Had we taken our chances, Australia would be much lower in score.

The scorecard doesn't reflect how well we have bowled.

 

[Shafi]

How lucky is Shaheen!!!! Good for us but score is already too much for us against Starc, Cummins..

 

[Mueez]

Okay bowl them out guys!

320 still on.
