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

[Billa86]

I guess Pakistan supporters will get very emotional if we fail to be competitive in this match.

 

[hussain.r97]

Shaheen has come back really well, shown he can handle the pressure. He just needed that wicket to get his confidence back.

 

[Titan24]

Shaheen has come back in last 2 overs well. If he is top be played he should probably be given old ball for now as he is struggling in England with new ball

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Australia need to recalibrate and lion for 315-320. This is not a flat pitch .

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

This is where i feel Aus messed up and pak have a massive chance....aus sent maxi 10overs too early...imagine if he was walking in now.....if they string thru 5 tight overs anything can happen

 

[Markhor]

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

Grant Bradburn is fielding coach. He should be sacked too. These guys need Rixon style danda approach.

 

[Mean&Green]

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

True this pitch has a lot of pace and bounce I feel bad for imam

 

[szundercover]

the posters here are so negative,its like we cant chase 250 or that.Fans needs to understand batting is stronger than our bowling.

 

[Mueez]

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

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

Fielding cost us big times.

Club level stuff.

 

[Invincible Gujjar]

I really feel for wahab.he should have gotten those two wickets

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

now we have a good chance to restrict aus

 

[xbronze]

Pakistan back in the match with Warner dismissal. Run rate down to 6.39

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

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

That failure with the new ball lost the game basically. They will blow us away for under 200.

 

[Ilan Bluestone]

the posters here are so negative,its like we cant chase 250 or that.Fans needs to understand batting is stronger than our bowling.

Against WI how did we do?

 

[Rayyman]

We can chase 320, let's do it boys

Maybe bring a spinner

 

[szundercover]

The pitch will get easier to bat on.

 

[Rana]

the posters here are so negative,its like we cant chase 250 or that.Fans needs to understand batting is stronger than our bowling.

Stay positive and watch these boys bat well

 

[Slim]

Shaheen's second spell was way better than his first. Hopefully this match gives him more confidence.

 

[Mujtaba2900]

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

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

Lot of edges And I mean a lot of Balls dropped on Vacant Areas.
luck is not our side today it seems

 

[Duckworth Lewis]

Pakistan could still pull things back.

 

[Hasan2K8]

Looks a 300+ runs chase for Pak, coming up.

 

[Titan24]

Bowling new ball In England is an art which Shaheen and Hassan bith don know at the moment.

 

[Shafi]

Another Bhai!!!!!

 

[AdamM97]

We can chase 320, let's do it boys

Maybe bring a spinner

Hopefully!

 

[Mp812]

Warner vs Pak in ODIs:
First ten matches: 260 runs; Avg 26.00
Last three matches: 130, 179 & 107*

Clearly he does not want a PSL contract....based on logic of some...last innings played for ipl contract. Basit Ali reaction at post match analysis would be interesting

 

[NauV]

Pak bowlers have recovered really well in the last 7 to 10 overs . . but they bowled and fielder so poorly in the first 25 that the game was done there! Need something miraculous here . .

and as someone above wrote . . the frustration is that Australia hasn't batted particularly well . . we have just gifted them runs

 

[jnaveen1980]

Two tuk tuk masters at the crease. Best time for Pakistan to come back.

 

[Invincible Gujjar]

Koi naa wahab keep bowling well

 

[Omer2002]

guys it is the media and ppl like shoaib akhtar who say he MUST BE IN THE TEAM....

 

[Darkness]

Shaheen has come back in last 2 overs well. If he is top be played he should probably be given old ball for now as he is struggling in England with new ball

And pair who with the new ball?

 

[Amirforpresident]

Against WI how did we do?

Against England how did we do?

 

[Deewana]

Rain will save pak

i just checked the weather forecast , sorry it won't
we are doomed

 

[Afhan Ali]

This is not a 300 runs pitch
We will bundle out for 250

 

[Greenstorm]

Shaheen should play against India.

 

[AdamM97]

We concede runs everytime Shaheen plays. He has the potential but he’s only 19, why are we playing him at this stage and that too against Australia?

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

need 2 more quick wkts

 

[IMMY69]

True this pitch has a lot of pace and bounce I feel bad for imam

Not just pace and bounce. When you hit the right lines, as we failed to do bar Amir, the ball seams around.
Aussies will bowl and field 100pct better then us.

This was not a 300-350 wicket. More like a 220-250 wicket.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

This is where i feel Aus messed up and pak have a massive chance....aus sent maxi 10overs too early...imagine if he was walking in now.....if they string thru 5 tight overs anything can happen

 

[Sir-fraz]

Shaheen bowls better with the old bowl, we all saw that in the england series...


I dont think they use analytics shows how far behind the staff is.

 

[Invincible Gujjar]

It's just awful really

 

[Titan24]

In my opinion Pak has come back well considering where it was going. Just need the momentum going.

 

[Madplayer]

Hide asif ali somewhere. I hope his dropped catches inspire him to score a big one today in order to make up for them.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

bowl dots and it will bring you wkts

 

[Amirforpresident]

Shaheen only bowled 5 balls in his last over???

 

[Billa86]

Hassan has to bowl 3 overs..... Pakistan need to bowl out Australia ASAP.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

bowlers need to keep it tight. 2 wkts and we into tailendes

 

[Boi]

Not just pace and bounce. When you hit the right lines, as we failed to do bar Amir, the ball seams around.
Aussies will bowl and field 100pct better then us.

This was not a 300-350 wicket. More like a 220-250 wicket.

Only hope is the pitch flattens abit after the roller during mid innings break.

 

[Mueez]

Hide asif ali somewhere. I hope his dropped catches inspire him to score a big one today in order to make up for them.

I hope so.

Really needs to play a blinder to make it up for his drops.

 

[Titan24]

Shaheen bowls better with the old bowl, we all saw that in the england series...


I dont think they use analytics shows how far behind the staff is.

He just doesnt have much control over swing with new ball in England. He was really impressive with nee ball in UAE and even in SA

 

[imshally81]

Last 5 overs ..23/5

 

[Madplayer]

Pakistan are suddenly bowling the right length and lines. This is bringing them wickets. Pitch is fine to bowl on. Aussie pacers will humiliate us on this pitch.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

we need to restrict aus or else it will get hard

 

[90MPH]

The pitch will get easier to bat on.

No because overhead conditions all day.

 

[Hasan2K8]

It’s not going to be easy trying to chase 320-330 against Starc and Cummins under the clouds.

Pakistan has to bowl them out under 300.

 

[Madplayer]

Last 5 overs ..23/5

5? Only 4 have fallen so far.

 

[Markhor]

Thank god Shaheen is now bowling right line and length. If only we saw this with new ball.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

i agree that pitch is good for bowling jus need to bowl right lenghts..

 

[Cric1234]

I hope so.

Really needs to play a blinder to make it up for his drops.

He'll come in and look like a tailender on here might edge a few if he's lucky.

 

[Afhan Ali]

We need to develop some good spinners because this is the weakest era for batters agaisnt spin.
With 2 world class spinners and two class batters( Imam and Babar) we will be competitive against some team

 

[Boi]

What is the point of Malik if he isn’t even going to field properly?

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

only if they held onto catches. Aus wud have been 190-5 now

 

[AdamM97]

It’s not going to be easy trying to chase 320-330 against Starc and Cummins under the clouds.

Pakistan has to bowl them out under 300.

300+ is inevitable at this point. Let’s hope for nothing more than 330.

 

[Madplayer]

Pathetic fielding. Abominable really. What a shambles.

 

[Ilan Bluestone]

Against England how did we do?

My point is it's impossible to know which side shows up.

 

[Amirforpresident]

He just doesnt have much control over swing with new ball in England. He was really impressive with nee ball in UAE and even in SA

This confuses me aswell. He was really good against NZ with the new ball.

 

[imshally81]

Fielding...
Malik again

 

[90MPH]

Malik why is he in the team ?

No heart whatsoever. Get this idiot out.

 

[Boxer]

let's hope the last 10 overs Aussie score 100 runs, will be fun.

 

[Pakistani Pace]

Pakistan one of the worst fielding side

 

[NauV]

Malik and Asif combined have given around 35 runs on the field today! Absolutely ridiculous!!

 

[Slim]

Ghatiya third class fielding. I am lost for words. Pathetic.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

arghhhhh malikkkkk

 

[Hasan2K8]

Sloppy fielding. I thought pak fielding was 2nd best in Asia!

 

[IAJ]

WHat the hell has happend With Malik in Field?

 

[Markhor]

No keep carrying 38 year olds in team for precious EXPERIENCE.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Such bad fielding, difference between 300 and 335

 

[Mean&Green]

Malik has been a dud today in the field omg poor shaheen could have had better figures

 

[Mueez]

Malik won’t even score 20.

 

[Titan24]

How can you miss so many balls in the field when you practice it everyday

 

[Ilan Bluestone]

Shoaib Malik. The gift that keeps on giving.
