Australia v Pakistan | 1st T20I | Sydney | 3rd November, 2019 | Pakistan Innings

[Justcrazy]

Misbah effect has worsen Pakistan batting process.

 

[Titan24]

ICC ranking system is very flawed, but I guess there is no perfect system.

While the system isnt perfect but winning 11 series would have given points in any system.

 

[ARK Rafay]

C'mon rizz hit a couple sixes

 

[Usman Chadda]

Rizwan has timed ONE shot on the 29 deliveries he has faced

 

[hussain.r97]

Rizwan looks good when he stays still against the pacers. I feel little he's too busy and fidgety at times.

 

[Mamoon]

Exactly. So, no need to "cringe" when the commentators call him #1, which was my point originally.

I didn’t cringe. It was Hawkeye. Babar is a quality player and deserves recognition.

 

[sweep_shot]

Pakistan - 63/2 after 9.4 overs.

 

[Boi]

Rizwan needs to hit out or get out now. Criminal to be scoring at less than a run a ball after 30+ deliceries

 

[imshally81]

Rizwan SR is under 100 now...

 

[Asif321]

Rizwan looks okay so far let’s see

 

[ARK Rafay]

Rizz batting at 96 S/R

 

[Mamoon]

Kamran Akmal>>>>>any Pakistani wicket keeper batsman in T20
[MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION]

Should be selected over Fakhar if we are being impartial. He has also proved twice the player in PSL as well.

 

[Snowflake]

I didn’t cringe. It was Hawkeye. Babar is a quality player and deserves recognition.

I never said you did, but you did reply to my post which was addressed to Hawkeye. Hence, I directed my response to you.

 

[imshally81]

 

[Usman Chadda]

Rizwan looks okay so far let’s see

...with a SR under 100

 

[Mean&Green]

Rizwan is a good batsman but he is too fidgety. He needs to get that mouse out of his pants.

Exactly that is the biggest problem I’ve seen with him that’s why I hated him being in the team he’s running on the balls that he even misses

 

[ARK Rafay]

There is a gap between Babar and other Pakistani batsman

 

[Hawkeye]

What’s with all the negativity around Rizwan. He’s been the best domestically and whilst he may not be the most pleasing to watch he’s trying and it’s his first match back . Some Pak supporters are to fickle .

Um, the thing is, he's playing exactly like he has always played. Like an embarrassment who can't time anything.

And premeditated shots.

I would take any runs though at this point, as we lost two early wickets.

 

[Snowflake]

Wth is Babar doing? Waving his arms and bat while the Riz is about to face the ball

 

[Titan24]

I excellent placement from babar

 

[Asif321]

Fakhar has got found out and lost all his confidence under Micky and Sarfraz he would have felt secure but not anymore he will be dropped if he doesn’t score big in next innings

 

[imshally81]

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Rizwan gone for 31 off 33

 

[ARK Rafay]

Mediocre innings comes to an end.

 

[msb314]

Rizwan needs to k big now

 

[Boi]

Poor knock but atleast he stopped a collapse

 

[Usman Chadda]

I can't believe we have let filth like Richardson get away with 9 runs in 2 overs

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Iftikhar should come in

 

[Hawkeye]

Put out of his misery. Was that Rizwan who got out?

 

[sweep_shot]

Rizwan departs.

Pakistan - 70/3 after 10.4 overs.

 

[msb314]

Still better than Sarfraz

 

[Ahmed216]

Rizwan smashing the aussies.
Will failures in this series be enough for Asif to be dropped ?

 

[imshally81]

Asif Ali... Another walking wicket...

 

[Boi]

Need Asif to explode if we want decent score

 

[Titan24]

Cant wait for Iftikhar and Asif to show Aus bowlers how tough T20 cricket can be for bowlers

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Asif is usually better against pace and would have kept him for the last 5 overs.

 

[Ahmed216]

I can't believe we have let filth like Richardson get away with 9 runs in 2 overs

M not surprised with the kind of lineup we have.

 

[imshally81]

Rizwan smashing the aussies.
Will failures in this series be enough for Asif to be dropped ?

No... Seems his ties is very strong..

 

[Usman Chadda]

He timed exactly ONE shot in 33 deliveries. Poor knock and the same deficiencies remain in his game.

 

[Asif321]

Rizwan will have difficult time to have long career I feel soon or later he will be out of team
Looked okay today though

 

[Snowflake]

Rizwan needs to calm down. No way he can hit big shots being so fidgety

 

[shah_1]

Rizwan should never T20 cricket again

He wasn't good enough to play PSL team

Good enough for ODI or test but big no for T20 cricket

 

[Asif321]

Asif Ali will be out within 6 deliveries

 

[Deewana Mastana]

It'll most probably be around 130 unless there are some fireworks.

 

[hussain.r97]

Rizwan smashing the aussies.
Will failures in this series be enough for Asif to be dropped ?

Asif if a pure Misbah pick, won't be dropped anytime soon.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Rizwan will have difficult time to have long career I feel soon or later he will be out of team
Looked okay today though

Let's not kid ourselves. This was a terrible T20 innings.

 

[Snowflake]

That was a pretty average knock by Riz but I guess not too bad considering the situation we were jn

 

[Hawkeye]

Still better than Sarfraz

Okay, I want him to do better, but how was that better?

Let's be realistic here. One of the ugliest innings, typical of Riz or his style of batting.

 

[Mean&Green]

This guy has zero power game that’s the problem he can’t hit a six to save his life that six he hit today was the second in his whole career what a terrible innings though it looked like he played an amazing innings

 

[Titan24]

Rizwan should never T20 cricket again

He wasn't good enough to play PSL team

Good enough for ODI or test but big no for T20 cricket

Which explosive WK we have for T20s?

 

[Usman Chadda]

Asif Ali is such a domestic bully

 

[imshally81]

Okay, I want him to do better, but how was that better?

Let's be realistic here. One of the ugliest innings, typical of Riz or his style of batting.

Spot on..

 

[ARK Rafay]

Twice the pressure has gone onto Babar and he successfully hitted for boundary. But Asif Ali here not only need to hit 1 boundary but also need to show his class he does in domestic

 

[Snowflake]

We aren't going beyond 140

 

[ARK Rafay]

Which explosive WK we have for T20s?

Only option is Kamran then. No else comes near to him.

 

[shah_1]

Which explosive WK we have for T20s?

Kamran Akmal

 

[hussain.r97]

Obviously wasn't a great innings from Rizwan, but I'd stick with him. He just needs to stop being so fidgety.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Rizwan can easily go upto 130 Strike Rate if he eliminates the dot ball play from his game.

 

[Mamoon]

We are missing Hafeez’s convincing strokeplay. Can’t justify his exclusion when you select the likes of Asif and Iftikhar.

Malik is surplus to requirements in the presence of Babar, Haris and Rizwan, but Hafeez has a role to play.

 

[Zeshan547]

Our managment also suck, zero game awareness, iftikhar who is better all round batsman and can spin batter and he should have come ahead of Asif, becasue asif could have hit pacers well at the back end.

 

[imshally81]

 

[imshally81]

 

[Titan24]

Only option is Kamran then. No else comes near to him.

Kamran Akmal

I dont mind Kamran for T20 WC but he is around 37 and at some point we will have to look for someone else.

 

[sweep_shot]

Pakistan - 87/3 after 12.3 overs.

 

[Titan24]

Its not fair that Aussies are without Maxwell and we are playing Asif Ali

 

[Zeshan547]

We are missing Hafeez’s convincing strokeplay. Can’t justify his exclusion when you select the likes of Asif and Iftikhar.

Malik is surplus to requirements in the presence of Babar, Haris and Rizwan, but Hafeez has a role to play.

Yup for once have to agree with you. He is best middle order batsman we have who can hit out vs both Pace and spin.

 

[Hawkeye]

Asif!

That's what he can do, and why he should be in the team. We have no hitters sadly.

 

[Green Patriot]

Bring more of Zampa

 

[imshally81]

Raining

 

[hussain.r97]

We are missing Hafeez’s convincing strokeplay. Can’t justify his exclusion when you select the likes of Asif and Iftikhar.

Malik is surplus to requirements in the presence of Babar, Haris and Rizwan, but Hafeez has a role to play.

Exactly this. Hafeez isn't amazing at this stage of his career, but no way Asif and Iftikhar are justified selection ahead of him.

 

[Danyaalr01]

Please drop Asif for Khushdil

 

[ARK Rafay]

Rain, rain go away.
Please

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

80 in 12 on a spongy wicket...i'd still take this....if pak can power hit in the last 5...get to 165, u got one hell of a chance

 

[sweep_shot]

Match delayed by rain.

Covers are back on.

 

[Snowflake]

Hopefully this is not a long delay

 

[shah_1]

I dont mind Kamran for T20 WC but he is around 37 and at some point we will have to look for someone else.

Groom anyone after the next world cup 20

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Babar proving he is the best batsman in Pakistan.

 

[imshally81]

80 in 12 on a spongy wicket...i'd still take this....if pak can power hit in the last 5...get to 165, u got one hell of a chance

165...you are asking too much.. Pak will ended with 145..

 

[Hawkeye]

Please drop Asif for Khushdil

Khushdil is exactly like Rizwan. Will be an embarrassment especially vs the pacers.

PPers and their logic of "who's not playing is better than the ones playing".

Asif is a hitter and can hit pace. Khushdil is like Rizwan.

 

[Mean&Green]

Babar was bound to perform that Sri Lanka series was just a disaster for everyone
