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

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan need to be positive here

 

[Gullycricket]

Already looking better than Sarfi

 

[ARK Rafay]

Rizz doing the job!

 

[Snowflake]

Seems Rizu listened

I gladly take that back!

 

[Justcrazy]

Fakhar will be big liablity , he needs to be dropped.

 

[Nasty Naz]

Wow Rizwan. Usually exposed vs spin but looked pretty solid there.

 

[sweep_shot]

Pakistan - 31/2 after 4.3 overs.

 

[Gullycricket]

I like sarfi but he could never run like that

 

[ARK Rafay]

Generally rizz is good vs spin. But against pacers he gets stuck at times. Hopefully he has worked on that

 

[Hawkeye]

Rizwan will struggle to score/accelerate off the pacers.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan need to keep the tempo here.

 

[omairsiddiqui]

Bhai Sydney mein hartaal hai kya? Where is the crowd?

 

[imshally81]

Rizwan with some dot balls..

 

[Hawkeye]

Depressed to see the crowd.

rather no crowd at all.

 

[sweep_shot]

Pakistan - 36/2 after 5.3 overs.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Yea. Moves around too much against pace and result is generally not good for Rizz

 

[Mamoon]

Pakistan is not a big team anymore. Can’t expect Australians to turn up for a T20 match when they can only name 1-2 players in the opposition.

Pakistani diaspora in Australia has never been that passionate anyway. They cannot he compare to British Pakistanis.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Lol this wicket is subcontinent in nature.

Rizwan, unsurprisingly, not able to score off the pacers. Sad to see our players never work on their game.

 

[Hawkeye]

Rizwan is laughable with his shots and premeditation.

A horrendous batsman especially vs pace.

 

[Snowflake]

Needs to cut down on these dots. Riz is struggling big time against pace. Same old problem

 

[Mamoon]

Rizwan doesn’t have to be Buttler or Bairstow. He just has to be better than Sarfraz.

 

[sweep_shot]

Pakistan - 38/2 after 6 overs.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan tempo getting slow here.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Rizwan doesn’t have to be Buttler or Bairstow. He just has to be better than Sarfraz.

Exactly. He should just look to tap in for singles and doubles. He's quite fast between the wicket

 

[Hawkeye]

Every time a commentator mentions "number 1" or "best", I cringe.

Who would tell them about these fake and bloated rankings?

 

[Usman Chadda]

Rizwan has a serious issue with anything above 120 KPH

 

[Hawkeye]

Rizwan doesn’t have to be Buttler or Bairstow. He just has to be better than Sarfraz.

Yes, but he's not that either as of now. Let's see what he does this series.

 

[Snowflake]

Every time a commentator mentions "number 1" or "best", I cringe.

Who would tell them about these fake and bloated rankings?

They're talking about Babar, whose ranking is completely justified. No need to feel so inferior all the time

 

[ARK Rafay]

I hope we can somehow reach 150. That will be defendable if our bowlers strike early

 

[omairsiddiqui]

Has Pakistan had a faster runner between wickets than Rizwan? Damn he's fiercely fast!

 

[Mamoon]

Ashton Agar seems to have dressed up as Lyon for Halloween.

 

[Titan24]

Pakistan needs to target Agar and Zampa if the pacers remain as tight as they have been

 

[DeadBall]

Every time a commentator mentions "number 1" or "best", I cringe.

Who would tell them about these fake and bloated rankings?

Should get [MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] on the commentary panel ASAP.

 

[Shafi]

So Misbah selected older players as usual and he will blame younger players for failure.

 

[Snowflake]

Rizwan has a serious issue with anything above 120 KPH

Surprised he hadn't worked on it during all this time. It was clear from his first game that he struggles against pace.

 

[Gullycricket]

I hope we can somehow reach 150. That will be defendable if our bowlers strike early

This pitch is a bit slow.Imad will be handy here.150 will be good hopefully

 

[imshally81]

We need M Hafeez or Malik in our T20 XI...

 

[Mamoon]

They're talking about Babar, whose ranking is completely justified. No need to feel so inferior all the time

Not justified because no one in his right mind would have him over Kohli, Rohit and Warner, but yes he is one of the top 10 players in the world for sure.

On the other hand, our team ranking is a better work of fiction than Lord of the Rings.

 

[DeadBall]

I hope we can somehow reach 150. That will be defendable if our bowlers strike early

I think Irfan would be the MotM today if we get to 150 odd.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Too many dot balls is yet the biggest problem for Pakistan.

 

[imshally81]

Not justified because no one in his right mind would have him over Kohli, Rohit and Warner, but yes he is one of the top 10 players in the world for sure.

On the other hand, our team ranking is a better work of fiction than Lord of the Rings.

Sour Grapes..

 

[sweep_shot]

Pakistan - 44/2 after 7 overs.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Pakistan needs to target Agar and Zampa if the pacers remain as tight as they have been

They are struggling to read the slow nature of the wicket.

 

[Hawkeye]

They're talking about Babar, whose ranking is completely justified. No need to feel so inferior all the time

I was referring to the team rankings. Regarding Babar, he's a brilliant ODI batsman but certainly not the best T20 batsman. Rankings are wrong there too.

He does score in this format too, but not with the required impact and strike rate to be considered the best or no.1.

 

[Gullycricket]

Not justified because no one in his right mind would have him over Kohli, Rohit and Warner, but yes he is one of the top 10 players in the world for sure.

On the other hand, our team ranking is a better work of fiction than Lord of the Rings.

Kohli or Rohit are not necessarily better than him.Warner i agree

 

[imshally81]

Too many dot balls is yet the biggest problem for Pakistan.

Misbahz effect..

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan batting playing selfish again.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

What was Haris thinking with that shot

 

[shah_1]

Rizwan looks like a proper tail ender against pace

 

[Titan24]

They are struggling to read the slow nature of the wicket.

150-160 on this wicket would be pretty good I think as the ball is stopping a little and isnt coming onto bat as much.

 

[Mamoon]

Kohli or Rohit are not necessarily better than him.Warner i agree

They are clearly better than him. No one can pick Babar ahead of those two with a serious face.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Misbahz effect..

It was even a problem from way before his time in the team too.

 

[Gullycricket]

People need to chill here.This is not an easy pitch to go through with the shots.150-160 is good here

 

[Usman Chadda]

150-160 on this wicket would be pretty good I think as the ball is stopping a little and isnt coming onto bat as much.

160 on this wicket is game over Australia. Doubt we are getting anywhere near that though.

 

[imshally81]

Rizwan.. The new dot ballz king... After Ahmed Shahzad..

 

[Hawkeye]

Rizwan loses the bat.

)

How horrible is this guy?

 

[zacattakk]

This has to be the worst Australian commentary team I have ever heard

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Pakistan has 2 hacks in the middle order in Asif and Iftikhar. Asif can be called more of that though I suppose.

 

[Green Patriot]

Rizwan

 

[ARK Rafay]

Rizwan man. Too quick and good for him.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Bhai ye Rizwan apne mohallay mein khelne aaya hai?

 

[shah_1]

It is embarrassing to watch Rizwan bat against Cummins

 

[ARK Rafay]

Now Rizz will try to cash on spin.

 

[Snowflake]

Not justified because no one in his right mind would have him over Kohli, Rohit and Warner, but yes he is one of the top 10 players in the world for sure.

On the other hand, our team ranking is a better work of fiction than Lord of the Rings.

By that logic, players ranking would rarely ever be justified.

 

[sweep_shot]

Pakistan - 50/2 after 8 overs.

 

[Mesozoic]

People need to chill here.This is not an easy pitch to go through with the shots.150-160 is good here

Australia will chase that in 16 overs.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

100 in 12 overs left?

 

[Hawkeye]

Rizwan.. The new dot ballz king... After Ahmed Shahzad..

Eh what? He was the savior of PPers until now. Now tell me again how Misbah is asking Babar, Rizwan, Fakhar and Haris to play slow. Use your brains and look at the pitch plus bowling.

 

[imshally81]

 

[Snowflake]

I feel embarrassed for Riz

 

[ARK Rafay]

The way Pakistan are batting, they'll get to 130 at most

 

[Mamoon]

By that logic, players ranking would rarely ever be justified.

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

 

[Green Patriot]

 

[Usman Chadda]

Steve Smith is such a shoda in the field

 

[Hawkeye]

Rizwan! More embarrassment with his premeditated shots.

What are we, an associate team?

 

[Mamoon]

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

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Need to try and go at 8 an over from here on with 11 overs left.

 

[shah_1]

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

 

[Snowflake]

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

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

 

[GreenKhan]

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 .
