Australia v Pakistan | 2nd ODI | Melbourne | Jan 15, 2017 | Australia Innings

[DRsohail]

This guy Imad is 28/29 & he is genuine 29, born in UK. He is playing in FC for almost a decade now with very good numbers. He made debut for PAK team at 27, because of great Afridi was there ....... he was drafted in the team after WC 2015 & this is after about 16/17 months.

Now, how many here believes that there are at least 20 Imads - acting for Habib Bank or Rawalpindi Rams, who are U25 & at most 12 months investment away from replacing Wahabs, Ajmals, Mians, MoHas, Irfans, Sohails, Imrans, Guls ........

This was the biggest curse of Misbah era in PAK cricket, which started from the time of the gentleman now is highly reputed Chief selector.

i thin imad will be in icc top 10 bowers ranking soon...

 

[JaDed]

Imad has bowled really well here,top game from him.

 

[QalandarFan]

Say word! I went for another bathroom break and another wicket fell! That's ironic!

 

[Sarfarazian92]

Imad Wasim's success is due to his smartness more than anything.

 

[imshally81]

Say word! I went for another bathroom break and another wicket fell! That's ironic!

Oh man.... See... How effective Isphaghul is...

Misbah has not retired yet from test neither did Azhar in ODI. Worst is still to come

Mind if you stay there for the night.

 

[FlickedOffHips]

we talk what we see with naked eyes...ajmal was chucking clearly......

he was an extreme case. All I'm saying is, ICC testing is the only credible proof of who chucks and who doesn't.

 

[imshally81]

 

[160KPH]

Another wicket

 

[QalandarFan]

Really liked Hafeez's captaincy today!

 

[Shafi]

Most balanced Pakistan team since Ajmal era.

With Shafiq, Hafeez, Malik and Akmal in the side????

 

[JaDed]

Wow Aus wow Aus massively exposed here,top performance from the spinners here.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Gone

 

[160KPH]

Great captaincy, great bowling, really excited for this team.

 

[GrandMaster]

I know that but people were wrist slitting so hard and said the Indian bowlers were more talented ) no disrespect their batsmen are miles better.

I would still say, the current Indian bowlers are most talented than current Pakistani lot.

 

[QalandarFan]

This shows Hafeez is a really good captain in fact!

 

[imshally81]

With Shafiq, Hafeez, Malik and Akmal in the side????

Best available options...

 

[boomboom6]

Malik gets Wade !!

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

With Shafiq, Hafeez, Malik and Akmal in the side????

I am talking about composition with all rounders and spinners.

There was a time when we had Anwar Ali and Bhatti trundling for 20 overs and Afridi as spinner

 

[Speedster777]

Bowled!!

 

[MMHS]

What PAK needs is to draft Shadab Khan ASAP in the team - that makes a solid squad with every bowling option - then replace Azhar with a Captain who understands bowling.

 

[boomboom6]

Sharjeel, Umar, Babar, Haris Sohail, Malik, Hafeez, Sarf, Imad, Amir, Hasan, Junaid ... this should be the playing XI, Hafeez captain, Sarf VC.

 

[msb314]

Spinners on fire!

 

[Cricket World]

Trailor for Aus for things to come in india

[Cricket World]

Today's team looks much better combination without AA

 

[MMHS]

Misbah has not retired yet from test neither did Azhar in ODI. Worst is still to come

True, if he goes to WI, 12/13 of ANZ tour party'll accompany him - worse is, MoHa & Babar might replace Asghar & Sami.

 

[badsha001]

i wonder if UA will open today

 

[imshally81]

I would still say, the current Indian bowlers are most talented than current Pakistani lot.

You are right
Bus un ka talent bahar nahi aa raha... Ander hi kahin phans gia hey..

Deano absolutely spot on. I am lovin it

 

[Speedster777]

Azhar should be kicked out of the team he's not an ODI player.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Difficult pitch to bat on , starch gna be very hard to handle.

[Rafay Shafiq]

It is obvious fact, even before this match, that haeez and malik are better tactician than azhar

 

[Shafi]

If we had decent batsmen we could have won these 2 ODI and Draw the test series

 

[taqi]

good tactics by hafeez not providing pace to ausies to play with keeping spin on

 

[Saffer_XIII]

Australia in India is going to be a bloodbath. Jadeja especially I feel will leave a few of them scarred for life.

 

[Pakistanian]

IS Hafeez a better captain than Azhar?

Like our Australian summer

 

[Pakistanian]

3 more wickets baby! Lets bowl 'em out!

 

[FlickedOffHips]

opportunity for PAK to win here today. probably looking at 230-250.

This guy knows how to twist the knife. lol.

 

[MMHS]

Sharjeel, Umar, Babar, Haris Sohail, Malik, Hafeez, Sarf, Imad, Amir, Hasan, Junaid ... this should be the playing XI, Hafeez captain, Sarf VC.

How that helps? MoHa is 37, Sarfy 30 & WK - our Imrul is one of the fittest guy in team, kept for 140 overs & left the field in ambulance later. 2 years later MoHa will need ambulance, Sarfu wheel chair .......

MoHa or Sarfy Captain for 1 year, and Amir or Imad deputy - after one year MoHa/Sarfy to step down with honor (may still be in team on playing merit) & deputy takes over.

 

[QalandarFan]

Now a pacer will have to bowl 2 overs I say Amir bowl them.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

IS Hafeez a better captain than Azhar?

Lol just about 10 times better

 

[160KPH]

Reverse swinging full ball first ball. Great.

 

[imshally81]

IS Hafeez a better captain than Azhar?

Anytime..

 

[MMHS]

This guy knows how to twist the knife. lol.

No, he is telling from "experience".

 

[Pakistanian]

Hafeez would've taken so many wickets if he was allowed to bowl!

 

[160KPH]

I didn't approve of Hafeez being handed captaincy before this match, but he's been brilliant.

 

[imshally81]

 

[Pakistanian]

Lol just about 10 times better

Except he can't bat or bowl anymore. Azhar's the future #2019

 

[QalandarFan]

Malik should ball 2 out of the last 4 overs.

 

[160KPH]

Run out brilliant junaid khan amazing

 

[Rafay Shafiq]

Will junaid answer of Pakistan death bowling problem?

 

[MMHS]

IS Hafeez a better captain than Azhar?

Yes, but that doesn't matter much - there are at least 100 more ...... only in PAK.

 

[QalandarFan]

Gone! 8 down

 

[boomboom6]

Smart bowling from Junaid and then sensible reaction to get the run out.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

No, he is telling from "experience".

Haha...

By test 3, English pundits (barring Nasser) were saying how they have competed better in India than other teams.

After test 4 and 5, everyone changed their tune after realizing WHY they had competed the best amongst the rest in the Indian tour.

 

[QalandarFan]

Bowl em out Boys!

 

[Cricket World]

Today's captaincy is top notch as good as you can see

 

[GrandMaster]

You are right
Bus un ka talent bahar nahi aa raha... Ander hi kahin phans gia hey..

It's evident in the latest ICC ranking. Not sure what you are talking about

 

[160KPH]

1st BALL OUT

 

[imshally81]

No review left

 

[Speedster777]

Junaid you beauty!

 

[160KPH]

There's a light edge, but no review!

 

[Rafay Shafiq]

Hafeez already wasted review on his own bowling

 

[MMHS]

Haha...

If IND/PAK wins toss 5 times in Asian wickets - Poms will lose 5-0 & field 5 or 6 times at most.

 

[boomboom6]

Prof read the game perfectly today, choked the Aussies with spin after Junaid & Amir took early top order wickets.

 

[Cricket World]

Unlucky Junaid and poor umpiring

 

[ExplicitAI]

Love this intensity from Pak, much better than #Azhar444

 

[GrandMaster]

Can we expect a quick fire 50 from Faulkner?

 

[Aman]

Haha...

SIF, have you seen Junaid's action?

 

[marlonbrowndo]

That was a big edge!!! Damn

 

[Hawkeye]

Difficult pitch to bat on , starch gna be very hard to handle.

What's up with your overrating of Starc??

He's been manhandled by Pak bats+tailenders all the tour so far! Get over this.

 

[boomboom6]

how the hell did the umpire miss that ???

 

[Ellipsism]

Am I the only one or is Junaid's chucking quite noticeable.

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

Bad luck there for Pak and Junaid.

 

[FlickedOffHips]

you could've heard that edge in the crowd.
