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

[Silverlion]

Prince babar should be dropped.

 

[MABA]

Should have sent someone else out, Shafiq will block everyone to sleep

 

[Pete Rose]

Babar has already surpassed Younis is ODIs and will surpass the other 2. He will come good in Tests too

Will, would could should.

 

[tanveer din]

Starc will now find its grove

 

[imshally81]

hafeez for president

No...
For Governer (Sindh)

 

[Ellipsism]

Prince babar should be dropped.

Our best ODI batsman dropped?

 

[Mir jibran]

its all upto hafeez he has to stay there for atleast next 60 runs

 

[shah_1]

Tuk Tuk Shafiq

 

[Mir jibran]

No...
For Governer (Sindh)

haha for that he has to first win it

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Surely Pakistan should chase this down now.

20 overs. 80 runs. 8 wickets in hand.

 

[Rayyman]

I see a mini collapse

Not with Asad and Malik.

 

[Barragan]

Seeing that average and SR of a no. 4 is a sight for sore eyes

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

wonderful by Asad Technique

 

[Speedster1]

It's in the bag regardless of whether another wicket falls now or not it's done. We have enough batting to come even if there was a collapse. I know we're bad when it comes to collapsing but not that bad lol

 

[imshally81]

Surely Pakistan should chase this down now.

20 overs. 80 runs. 8 wickets in hand.

Nice way of Jinxing

 

[MABA]

OK then, one bad shot after another

 

[Barragan]

Hafeez gone

Big trouble

 

[imshally81]

 

[ads101]

Surely Pakistan should chase this down now.

20 overs. 80 runs. 8 wickets in hand.

We should, we're ahead of the run rate with 5 competent batsmen left. Really exciting been a long time since we've got a win against Australia in Australia. In fact can't even remember the last time, might have been before I was born haha.

 

[shariqnoor]

here's the panic and the collapse guys.

 

[shah_1]

Choke?

 

[Watsupdoc]

And the collapse is on...

 

[mz123]

pff

 

[Speedster1]

Should have sent Umar or malik

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Awful from hafeez

 

[MABA]

No matter what the score you can count on Pakistan to make it hard for themselves to win

 

[castortroy]

Classic Pak batting this

 

[Ankit007]

You cannot give Aussies an opening. They will rub you down in dust in matter of some seconds....

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

We should, we're ahead of the run rate with 6 competent batsmen left. Really exciting been a long time since we've got a win against Australia in Australia. In fact can't even remember the last time, might have been before I was born haha.

Yeah slow and steady and you should get there.

Shouldn't panic though.

 

[castortroy]

Aussies could have scored 150 and we still would have made a meal of it

 

[Varun]

Here comes the collapse.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

A 30 partnership here will win it for us

 

[Khan12]

Not a good shot by babar. Hopefully he learns from it. Looks as good as anyone when at the crease just need to make sure he starts converting the 30s and 40s in to big hundreds. Too good a player to just scoring 30s.

 

[Pete Rose]

Difference between winning and losing is self belief

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Awful from hafeez

There is only so long before your luck deserts you and you are on your own.

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Here we go. )

 

[adzzy786]

170 all out anyone?

 

[Mir jibran]

miyaan bhai come on

 

[Pakprideuk]

Malik will be lucky to survive an over from Starc, send Akmal.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

3rd wicket down but too little too late for OZ.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Difference between winning and losing is self belief

Absolutely.

You created a marvelous thread yesterday which I read but couldn't post in cos I was busy.

Some (or many) didn't seem to get your message but what you wrote was 100% truth.

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Trust our boys to lose it from here !!

 

[Asif321]

no trust on akmal

 

[marlonbrowndo]

People overreacting. We aren't losing his from here IA

 

[Speedster1]

We don't half make it difficult for ourselves do we

Still to win this

 

[Aviator]

Hope Shafiq doesn't eat up too many balls...

 

[Zeshan547]

Don't think technique will last long.

 

[tanveer din]

Starc will be just too good for these trundlers

 

[tanveer din]

Hope Shafiq doesn't eat up too many balls...

Just hope

 

[Rayyman]

Mitch Marsh can't bowl 7 in a row from both ends. Maxwell or Head will have to bowl.

 

[tanveer din]

Don't think technique will last long.

Just hope

 

[Cricket World]

Why play high percentage shot when not needed

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

People overreacting. We aren't losing his from here IA

Oh You'd be surprised bro !

 

[Cricket World]

Need another partnership of 40 to 50 to seal the game

 

[waleed88]

Chalo bhai, its gonna be a very nervy finish, this has all the makings of a last ball victory/defeat

 

[adzzy786]

I don't understand why Hafeez played that shot when he did all the hard work

 

[Ankit007]

Good strategy. Can't lose wickets here. Tuk tuk is better option right now...

 

[imshally81]

Lucky Runs

 

[Chief Destroyer]

75 to go.

 

[shah_1]

Malik looking hopeless

 

[Hamza_]

Azhar would have batted better than Hafeez here. I'm sure

 

[shariqnoor]

Great stuff by Malik there. Good aggressive running

 

[Pete Rose]

At least the running will be sharp

 

[Hasan123]

Hopefully Australia bring on maxwell or head , can see Malik taking them apart which would be enough for a victory

 

[tanveer din]

Malik looking hopeless

As so Asad, collapse on probaly, babar has to stay...

 

[Chief Destroyer]

8 overs left from Starc, Cummins and Hazlewood.

 

[tanveer din]

Hopefully Australia bring on maxwell or head , can see Malik taking them apart which would be enough for a victory

No chance lot of overs left of fast bowlers

 

[waleed88]

A couple of bouncers from Cummins should do it for Malik...

 

[Pete Rose]

Malik is facing his worst nightmare in terms of bowling

 

[Barragan]

Almost out

 

[imshally81]

 

[shah_1]

lucky runs

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Nice shot from Malik. Edge drive for .

 

[shah_1]

Malik is finished

 

[Chief Destroyer]

71 to go. Every run counts.

 

[Markhor]

Oh god, Malik is an absolute bunny against pace.

Someone should tell him to close his eyes and pretend he's up against Chris Mpofu, Elton Chigumbura or some other minnow trundler he's bashing.

 

[Pete Rose]

This is a genuine scoring area for Malik

 

[uberkoen]

This is my issue with Hafeez. Gets to a 50 and gives it away.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

What a boundary under pressure by Mian Malik.

 

[shah_1]

This guy wants to play the next WC lol
