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

[ARK Rafay]

If Hasan Ali gives away 3 runs this is by far the best contribution he has made in the matchthats how sh*t he has been.

Edit: 7

 

[imshally81]

Malik even can't run...

 

[watson367]

Don’t get the point of Hassan Ali celebration after taking a wicket. He’s pretty mediocre now

 

[Titan24]

Its just not working for Hassan Ali

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Last ball ruined the over again

 

[Pakistani Pace]

Not the same Hasan Ali in CT 2017

 

[IMMY69]

Why no one is backing?

Because the wicket is not easy to bat on when bowlers put it in the right areas.
Surely you can see that for yourself?

Add the drop catches and pathetic fielding really we should have contained the Aussies to around 220-250 and even then we would have struggled to chase this..

Logically, it will take a miracle for us to win this game.

 

[Mamoon]

Pretty out of context post.

Amir has been fantastic this world cup.

He needed to strike upfront with the new ball. The conditions were perfect for a swing bowler to do early damage.

 

[imshally81]

This isn't a 300+ pitch..

 

[britishpakistani]

our players even lack basic cricketing sense..

 

[Madplayer]

Amir's figures so far have been unreal in. Context of whats happening to other bowlers.

 

[ekpakistani]

6 Down now... yaaay

 

[Sir-fraz]

He needed to strike upfront with the new ball. The conditions were perfect for a swing bowler to do early damage.

Not possible when the team just plays you out and smashes the 2nd bowler

 

[ARK Rafay]

Amir! Amir! Amir!

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Amir you beast

 

[watson367]

Amir cheetah

 

[Mueez]

Aamirrrr

 

[imshally81]

ttt

 

[Titan24]

Cant understand why Hafeez was given 7 overs today considering the way he was going

 

[AdamM97]

Hassan ali do your thing now!

 

[Madplayer]

Get them all out below 300.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

He needed to strike upfront with the new ball. The conditions were perfect for a swing bowler to do early damage.

He could’ve pitched it up more but he’s been absolutely sublime today it has to be said

 

[Markhor]

Australia have just gifted wickets today.

Horrible quality of cricket.

 

[soulhunter]

finch was basically dead batting against amir. Shaheen was poor hence finch could see out amir

 

[hussain.r97]

Yesssss What a bowler!

 

[Madplayer]

Hassan ali do your thing now!

Leak runs?

 

[Mamoon]

Absolute brain-dead shots by Finch, Smith, Warner and Marsh. No wonder they have no chance of winning the World Cup ahead of England and India.

The damage is done already, but they are trying too hard to self-destruct.

 

[Asif321]

Was looking 350 easily
We have done well thanks for Amir

 

[The_Odd_One]

This game is gone now. Except Aamir everyone has been poor with the ball.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Sarfraz needs to bowl Wahab next.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Damn you Amir, you are not letting me sleep

 

[Madplayer]

Australia have just gifted wickets today.

Pakistan have also gifted them more chances.

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

I think they will make 335

 

[Rayyman]

Impressive captaincy from Sarfraz to bowl Amir now.

 

[AdamM97]

Amir has stopped Australia from 350+ but is it enough?

 

[ViciousMachine]

Amir bowling a gem of a spell !! Lets try to finish them off

 

[Shafi]

Misbah:::: Amir didn't bowl with aggression.

 

[Mamoon]

Not possible when the team just plays you out and smashes the 2nd bowler

finch was basically dead batting against amir. Shaheen was poor hence finch could see out amir

Great bowlers find a way to breach defenses even when batsmen are playing you out. Every T, D and H can take wickets when batsman are trying to slog you for sixes.

 

[IAJ]

Oh no, the destroyer of windies is in

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Absolute brain-dead shots by Finch, Smith, Warner and Marsh. No wonder they have no chance of winning the World Cup ahead of England and India.

The damage is done already, but they are trying too hard to self-destruct.

They should have cruised to 370 went to aggressive

 

[Mueez]

Credit where it’s due bringing Amir was a great tactic.

 

[WC-Passion]

I don’t us chasing anything above 300. I suspect we will have a meltdown with the bat.

Sounds about right, however if Fakhar fires I can see Pakistan chasing 320-330.

 

[Boi]

Aussies know they already have more than enough. Just bat out the overs

 

[Hasan2K8]

340-350 was on cards, When Marsh and Khawaja was there batting. 315-325 will getable. 350 would’ve been match over!

 

[Billa86]

Goes to show.. Amir's inclusion in this squad has befitted otherwise Aussies would have scored 400

 

[AdamM97]

2017-2019(May): Amir 5 wickets in 14 matches.
WC 2019: Amir 8 wickets in 3 matches.

 

[soulhunter]

Unless fakhar hacks his way to a century we have no chance to chase.

Edit: Malik and sarfraz have no spinner to feed from

 

[Titan24]

Great bowlers find a way to breach defenses even when batsmen are playing you out. Every T, D and H can take wickets when batsman are trying to slog you for sixes.

True.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Damn you Amir, you are not letting me sleep

LOL....funny one...c'mon bro...u gotta keep the faith in your guys....

 

[Asif321]

Just hope we don’t collapse

 

[amirm]

Top order needs to click for pak to have a chance

 

[Draeoftroy]

REmove that sh*t Hasan and bring Wahab from the other end.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Had warner been 100% today with the bat he would've gotten 150 by 40 overs

 

[Titan24]

Amir is now joint highest wicket taker in the WC

 

[AdamM97]

Had warner been 100% today with the bat he would've gotten 150 by 40 overs

He was dropped twice. He could’ve been out before getting his half century.

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

Not True ......

 

[Mueez]

Look Amir has given us something which proper batsmen can chase.

Now it is up to the batters what they do.

 

[Rayyman]

MashAllah, good bowling Amir

 

[britishpakistani]

Rubbish.. to say the least.. they needed to bowl better and strike with in first 10 overs..

 

[SensiblePakFan]

Amir joint leading wicket taker now.

 

[Hasan123]

Without Amir we would have been dead and buried long ago.

 

[Mamoon]

Carey is in the form of his life.

 

[ARK Rafay]

What have u done Sarfraz poor calculation. Now Hasan Ali has to bowl 10 overs and Wahab 9

 

[Asif321]

Hassan need to be dropped

 

[Madplayer]

Why bowl short hasan. If you are a short thingna that doesnt mean you will bowl short also

 

[Afhan Ali]

Hassan bowling short short and short
Why??

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

come on Hassan ........ whats with this guy today.

 

[WC-Passion]

Promoting Maxwell was a risk that didn’t pay-off. They wanted to ride the momentum complete obliterate Pakistan, but in hindsight, Major Khawaja or Marsh would have been better options to rotate the strike, with Maxwell taking on the bowlers in the death overs.

Having Khawaja at 5/6 is such a strange decision. He is typically best as an opening batsmen or at 3, so why play him there when he can anchor the innings?

 

[Sir-fraz]

Great bowlers find a way to breach defenses even when batsmen are playing you out. Every T, D and H can take wickets when batsman are trying to slog you for sixes.

Who said he was great? Amir is a good to great bowler not a great bowler.

Amir has to get his pace to 140 plus again to be effective with new bowl. Instead of just drying up runs

 

[IAJ]

Aamir has given just 25 runs on this ground. Hassan and Shaheen has just ruined it completely here

 

[NauV]

Again! BRAINLESS . . lost count of how many times I have used that . .

Wahab Riaz won't complete his 10 overs today . . because hasan ali is bowling this over!! GOD DAMN IT MAN!! How do you tolerate such egregious stupidity?!? HOW?! Is he that unaware? and if he meant for hasan to bowl all 10 and not wahab, that's even worse!!

 

[Draeoftroy]

Sarfaraz should be fined for bringing in Hasan at crucial juncture.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Hassan thanks

 

[CricFan2012]

This game is pretty much over folks.

Aussies actually have analysts and they know they need to bowl full unlike us except Amir.

 

[AdamM97]

Aamir has given just 25 runs on this ground. Hassan and Shaheen has just ruined it completely here

I facepalmed the moment i saw that Shaheen was going to play.

 

[britishpakistani]

even young shaheen learnt and adjusted his length .. but this idiot hasan ..

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

can we chase around 325 ...... ? who knows?

 

[Mp812]

320 or 330 is chaseable in this era. B optimisisick

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Australia have just gifted wickets today.

Horrible quality of cricket.

They would be getting beaten off any half competent side today, lucky for them they came up against a clueless Pakistan side.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Hasan Ali has no Gas or Petrol in his generator
