Are you sure Green Storm is not forecasted for later in the day?

 

[Ellipsism]

The sun will be shining like gold, don't worry.

 

[Rayyman]

The sun will be shining like gold, don't worry.

I want to see a century from: "The Green General."

 

[The intelligent Supporter]

The sun will be shining like gold, don't worry.

Nice one . Haha

 

[Hitman]

Which channel is broadcasting the match in India/Pakistan?

 

[Abdullah719]

Which channel is broadcasting the match in India/Pakistan?

PTV Sports and Star Sports 2 I think.

 

[moghul]

Very impressed the way BD batsman batting, wish Pakistani "ATGs" would have batted the same way. This is a very much a bowler friendly wicket, hence NZL opted to bowl.

Great for Bangladesh Cricket. Pakistan been winning in NZL for donkeys years now. It doesn't matter to us, so yes i hope Bangladesh do better and get recognised and get tour of Nzl and SA soon.

Thanks.

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Thanks.

Only if they can get rid of Dr. Saab, PTV show will be ten times better. He is so annoying and think too much of himself.

 

[world cup captain]

Australia won the toss and are batting first!

 

[ExplicitAI]

We're gonna get creamed

 

[160KPH]

Chris Lynn terrifies me. If you look at this guy in the current T20 league, the sixes he's been hitting have been absolutely massive.

Exactly, my hopes got up.

 

[angrypathan]

Hafeez over Malik???

 

[Ellipsism]

Hafeez over Malik???

Reports are Malik has fallen sick.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Absolutely need to restrict them to under 330

 

[Ellipsism]

Personally would have had Junaid ahead of Nawaz.

 

[ExplicitAI]

Junaid Khan benched

 

[lahoriyah1234]

actually its better we r not batting, we can only beat Australia if we chase, we can't defend against them.

 

[160KPH]

Why the hell would they choose Hafeez rather than Malik. Malik deserves a spot, he also had a decent warmup game.

 

[ExplicitAI]

Malik is a way better allrounder than Hafeez, including fielding

 

[marlonbrowndo]

We're going with 3 pacers an extra batsman in Nawaz (even though I don't rate his batting much) so I don't mind chasing. Itll still be very difficult. Cricinfo is showing that hafeez will bat at 3 but I hope it's Babar. Akmal should bat at 4 and hafeez 5

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

Disgusting, absolutely disgusting that professor is slated to comes in at 3


Senior culture still reigns supreme

 

[Ellipsism]

He's fallen "sick"

 

[yasir]

They are playing way too many spinners, it's not Asia. You don't need Immad and Nawaz both in the team.

Pakistan should play four fast bowler, loss of Irfan is a big one, even Junaid should have been fine, No point in playing Nawaz

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Guys I'm thinking of subscribing to will right now. Is it showing this series and what is the video quality like if I stream on my smart tv or laptop (I don't have a cable provider)

 

[world cup captain]

I am so happy Hafeez is at 3. Now sit back and watch him fail.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Well thank god we are batting 2nd because we wouldn't have been able to defend even 350

Where's Malik

Waqar was also saying that he heard Hafeez will play at 3 and Babar will move down to 4

 

[Ellipsism]

Where's Malik

Sick

Go ahead, but unsubscribing is a pain. The quality is good though.

 

[Silverlion]

Irfan? Did I miss something.

If true, then it's disappointing from Mickey.

 

[ExplicitAI]

He's fallen "sick"

Yeah I know, just stating the obvious

 

[Belawal2014]

Irfan? Did I miss something.

Flew back home after his mother passed away.

 

[ExplicitAI]

I just want to see Azhar sacked as captain after this series.

 

[Silverlion]

Was looking forward to seeing amir and junaid guess have to wait.

 

[Da_Future_Knick]

Doubt Pakistan will move Babar Azam for 3 to 4. Can someone post the Pakistan 11?

 

[Jabo]

Wanted to see us bat 1st
No Bailey/Finch
Didn't know that
I really hope they not put babar at 4 to accommodate hafeez...
Rizwan one of the most useless players ever
Lets see if he's improved

Playing nawaz and wasim?
Lol
Stupid
Should have got an actual batsman
Anything over 280 and we are done

 

[Abdullah719]

Shoaib Malik is reportedly not playing due to a throat infection.

 

[Abdullah719]

Doubt Pakistan will move Babar Azam for 3 to 4. Can someone post the Pakistan 11?

In OP.

 

[Rayyman]

Wow I would have gone with 4 pacers at Gabba. Let's see how it goes.

 

[Silverlion]

Yes but saw his name so thought he might be playing.

 

[moghul]

Hafeez over Malik???

Shocking

 

[Jabo]

Doubt Pakistan will move Babar Azam for 3 to 4. Can someone post the Pakistan 11?

On espn it's says babar at 4
Hafeez 3

Hopefully it's wrong
I expect stupid decisions to be made like this before but not with a foreign coach

 

[Rayyman]

Pakistan: Azhar, Sharjeel, Hafeez, Babar, Akmal, Rizwan, Wasim, Nawaz, Amir, Wahab, Hasan.

Batting looks deep.

 

[moghul]

Nawaz is quite useless, Junaid should be in .

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Guys, the way Malik bowling nowdays he is just a part timer. He has no variety or variation to deceive batsmen in the air. Don't think much difference between hafeez and malik both are similar players just like Nawaz and imad. But it is strange hafeez didn't even play in the last game.

 

[160KPH]

This team selection just makes you want to pull your hair out. What a choice

 

[world cup captain]

If true, then it's disappointing from Mickey.

Not necessarily, Mickey knows Hafeez is one bad series away from being dumped. Batting at 3 maximizes his chances to fail.

 

[LegendAli]

So Aus has completely given up on Finch I see?..

 

[Black Zero]

Without Malik and Sarfraz, it would be tough to score 250.
Let's hope Shareef, Babur, and umer perform.

 

[Sarfarazian92]

Hafeez at 3 is a travesty. Absolutely pathetic.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Ideally it should be

Azhar
Sharjeel
Babar
Akmal
Hafeez
Rizwan
Imad
Nawaz
Amir
Wahab
Hassan

I'll be very mad if hafeez bats above Babar

 

[MMHS]

Shocking

Why? It's quite expected - MoHa is the National Treasure of PAK cricket. Today, he'll bat at 3 as well. MoHa's greatest success is most people bash Afridi & Misbah for hanging around the team for too long ...... & Malik for doing politics.

 

[taqi]

so another 400 on cards? atleast 350

 

[Red Devil]

Rizwan needs to step up today. Golden opportunity.

 

[Da_Future_Knick]

So Pakistan going with 3 pacers, two SLA, one offie.
Good variety but I would've gone with another pacer

 

[Da_Future_Knick]

Azhar is so predictable. Watch him open the bowling with Imad

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

We need to be aggressive. Intimidate the OZ batters, stop being so timid.

 

[PennOne]

how badly with Pakistan lose?

8 wickets?
7 wickets?
6 wickets?

 

[Rayyman]

so another 400 on cards? atleast 350

I don't think so. Head opening, Lynn at 4, Stanlake inexperienced. Aus looks weaker on paper.

 

[Black Zero]

Aus batting first.

 

[Jabo]

I don't think so. Head opening, Lynn at 4, Stanlake inexperienced. Aus looks weaker on paper.

Yeah

Still decent for 300-330

Which is enough 240-280 will be a huge struggle for us

 

[Rayyman]

Yeah

Still decent for 300-330

Which is enough 240-280 will be a huge struggle for us

Naa I don't think so. Our batting is strong. Hopefully Hasan opens instead of Wasim.

 

[lahoriyah1234]

I don't think so. Head opening, Lynn at 4, Stanlake inexperienced. Aus looks weaker on paper.

Atleast Australia is doing what they did in Test series. Introduced new players and looking to the future and we are stuck with same old rubbish like hafeez, malik and wahab.

 

[world cup captain]

Anyone else has to go through the torture of Jadoo TV?

 

[Rayyman]

Wide from Amir.

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Mohammed Asif was talking about what Amir is doing wrong or did in the concluded test series. He has a great bowling mind, we should either play him or make him a bowling coach.

 

[160KPH]

Hafeez up early.

 

[angrypathan]

Hafeez just throwing full tosses, so rusty

 

[Jabo]

Professor saab is back

Please tell me rameez is here
Waqar's commentary skills is just as bad as his coaching skills

 

[QalandarFan]

Nice to see Professor Ji back.

 

[The intelligent Supporter]

Hafeez horrible new action

 

[Rayyman]

Good start from Pakistan.

 

[Sarfarazian92]

3 full tosses i the over, great start hafeez bhai
