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

[Majestic_Inzi]

Poor fielding from Pak, especially Malik and Asif.

 

[UP]

Horrible, horrible, horrible fielding.

Even Malik is letting them go by.

 

[OffDrive]

This is the weakest team we have sent to a WC, when we had Gilly, Hayden etc we were guns, but this is one of our weakest teams ever.

 

[Boxer]

Good comeback by Afridi, ends his spell.

 

[Sycamore]

I wouldve been kicked out of my under 15s team for that piece of fielding by Malik. Disgusting

 

[AdamM97]

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

Indian? Bangladeshi?

 

[szundercover]

Pakistan one of the worst fielding side

not worst than Afghanistan.

 

[Boi]

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

It’s the classic tale of regression of any decent bowler under the tutelage of the master Azhar Mahmood.

 

[Fahdi]

Malik Sahab can't bat, bowls no balls and now can't even field.

 

[amirm]

They’ll both make it up with their batting performance inshallah

 

[imshally81]

Shoaib Malik. The gift that keeps on giving.

Age catcing him..

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

16 extras. around 20 runs given of missfielding and 3 dropps. total that up atleast 60 plus runs.. Aus shud be 200-5 now

 

[Mueez]

Let me tell you something.

I have seen the fielding drills of Pak in videos and they are absolutely pathetic to say the least.

Sack the whole management after the WC.

 

[AdamM97]

Malik Sahab can't bat, bowls no balls and now can't even field.

But experience!

 

[marlonbrowndo]

This is the weakest team we have sent to a WC, when we had Gilly, Hayden etc we were guns, but this is one of our weakest teams ever.

It’s not worse than the 2011 team

 

[Markhor]

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

He is there because our captain is a baby who needs hand holding by seniors, and our selectors have no guts to drop a sainted senior.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

I feel Hasan Ali is going to have the flood gates open for Australia. Wahab/Amir may keep it down but Hasan is going to be hit.

 

[IAJ]

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

The Whole country in mess. You bring in Young players, they do stupid Things, you bring in experienced players they can't even dive. What to do?

Pardon the captial letters, even my keyboard is behaving like Our players

 

[hisham_ashraf]

Even after bowling poorly Pakistan would not have been in such a situation,it's the fielding which is simply pathetic.Just pathetic.Take Malik out of the team,the guy keeps on messing up big time.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

need wkts to restrict them

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

16 extras. around 20 runs given of missfielding and 3 dropps. total that up atleast 60 plus runs.. Aus shud be 200-5 now

How can Malik give no bowls?

 

[Afhan Ali]

Bhai is playing wonderful

 

[Draeoftroy]

Worried, for the next 3 overs Sarfaraz has no choice but to give an over to Hasan Ali, playing for Australia in this match.

 

[imshally81]

Asif again..

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

rubbish frm riaz and smashed for 4

 

[shah_1]

It’s not worse than the 2011 team

We topped the group, beat Australia, and qualified for semis. 2015 was the worst

 

[Mean&Green]

Omg I knew it as soon as they removed the gully Khawaja would play that shot

 

[90MPH]

Why bowl short again ??

Our bowlers are brainless.

 

[Slim]

Asif is pure garbage.

 

[Titan24]

Problem with Pak is there are no new ball bowlers in the squad other than Amir. Shaheen isnt finding it easy in England.

Obviously a lot of things can said in hindsight but Shinwari or even Haris Rauf might have been handy in first 10 overs.

 

[Madplayer]

Khawaja needs to learn a thing or two from Moeen Bhai.

 

[Mueez]

Shot by Khawaja.

 

[Rayyman]

Hopefully Fakhar scores today. His first ODI vs Aus.

50s in first games vs Eng, NZ and SL

100s in first games vs IND and Zim.

Teams who haven't bowled at him often struggle.

 

[IAJ]

I have some symphaties for Asif, but he has really cost us plenty of runs in this match

 

[Invincible Gujjar]

Wahab's looking bit low on confidence now

 

[Billa86]

Wahab leaking runs

 

[90MPH]

Now a full toss

Just bowl full length. ***

 

[imshally81]

Wahab back into business

 

[AdamM97]

The Whole country in mess. You bring in Young players, they do stupid Things, you bring in experienced players they can't even dive. What to do?

Pardon the captial letters, even my keyboard is behaving like Our players

The fault lies with the management. They chose to go with youngsters and then play with experienced players now. They’re too indecisive.

Experience was what we should’ve played with since the Asia Cup.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

We topped the group, beat Australia, and qualified for semis. 2015 was the worst

I’m replying to the Australian poster who was talking about his own team

 

[Afhan Ali]

What a poor team this is.
I feel ashamed of this team

 

[IAJ]

Riaz ruining his figures here

 

[NauV]

Can't believe so called experts on Pakistan TV argue about fielding and fitness . . and how main skills like bowling and batting are important . . today we have given 50 runs just because of poor fielding!

 

[Pakistani Pace]

Wahab bowling 90MPH and still getting smacked

 

[Markhor]

Pakistan have given up. Completely lost it.

 

[Titan24]

Surprisingly Shadab looked more threatening with new ball than some pacers

 

[Mean&Green]

Yeah we’re doomed 350-60

 

[Sycamore]

Bring Amir back U jokers

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Just when you back Wahab and he repays the favour, 350-360 back on

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

gr888888 over frm riazzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

 

[Madplayer]

370 on cards now.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Yeah, bowl down the legside, that's a good idea.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Carnage is on!!!

 

[Ilan Bluestone]

Hasan Ali, the man without movement or pace.

His dream run is over.

So much mediocrity.

 

[Titan24]

Pakistan have given up. Completely lost it.

Current side gives up pretty easily, I dont know if its something to do with leadership or overall management

 

[OffDrive]

It’s not worse than the 2011 team

The 2011 team made the semis we won't even make the semis with this crap team we have, Pakistan has made us look good.

 

[Sultanofswing]

350 on cards!! Pray that Carey doesn't get to play.

 

[Billa86]

Hassan needs to be dropped from squad and play First Class cricket to gain some confidence.

 

[NauV]

Garbage bowling . . absolute garbage!! This isn't a 350 pitch . . Pakistan has shown when they have bowled decently, there's something in the pitch . . Amir has shown that . . Shaheen when he has bowled full has shown that . . Pak won't even get close to this . . will get blown away

 

[Amirforpresident]

Hasan Ali should be dropped immediately and no this is not a knee jerk reaction

 

[Deewana]

Hasan Ali should just retire

 

[Green Patriot]

No need to have an umpire.
Just put in a wax statue with the boundary sign stature

 

[hussain.r97]

They don't even need to try hitting, we're leaking runs so easily.

 

[Markhor]

Why isn't one of the seniors at mid on or mid off to have a word with the bowlers ?

Sarfraz meanwhile totally mute behind the stumps. No leadership whatsoever.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Hasan Ali, the man without movement or pace.

His dream run is over.

So much mediocrity.

From no. 1 bowler in ODIs to rock bottom.

He should write a book on this

 

[Jeetlodil]

Pakistan be like. Aus make as much as you can. We have Imam Ul Haq who is looking forward to facing Starc

 

[AdamM97]

Current side gives up pretty easily, I dont know if its something to do with leadership or overall management

The kaptaan lost his jazba and junoon after the 8th over. The players are learning.

 

[Mueez]

Hasan Hasan Hasan

 

[Jeetlodil]

Sarfaraz is not captain material. You don’t know that?

 

[IMMY69]

Bowlers are paid to do one job and that is to bowl and to bowl well.
Why on earth can't they just bowl in the right areas consistently...

This is not a wicket to be bowling slower balls or trying to bowl leg sided to cut down scoring..
Just bowl a good length on off stump and let the wicket do the rest...

 

[HGhazanfar]

Wont be part of the national team after the world cup, tells you something

 

[hussain.r97]

Hasan Ali should be dropped immediately and no this is not a knee jerk reaction

He's been awful for over a year, enough is enough.

 

[imshally81]

No wide ... Harsh call

 

[Mamoon]

Our 2011 team was poor, but Afridi’s incredible bowling made us look better than we were. The batting was awful and we didn’t score a single hundred.

 

[Sir-fraz]

Its the leadership. Unfit captain doesnt inspire confidence.

On top of that captain droppin catches behind the stumps.

 

[Markhor]

Hasan Ali is an absolute disgrace. Lad please go back to domestic cricket.

 

[Ronaldo7]

Imam?
You've lost it mate.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

We bowled badly today, nothing special from Aus, we just gave too many gifts. We will see how good the pitch is once we start to bat

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

As an aside...snazzy shoes by FZ...matching the pak oufit....

 

[NauV]

Hasan whenever has bowled well, has bowled around the wicket to left handers . . even today he has bowled better around the wicket . . where have they left their brains?! Is there no one to tell them?!? No one?! Azhar Mehmood can't send a message out? even though this plan should have been given by him!! I can't believe the game I have watched today . . just on the basis of this game, there can be so many decisions made!
