Australia - To Bat
Pakistan - 150/6 20/20 ov RR: 7.50
 
The only positive in the Pakistan innings and also the last match is their running between the wickets. Has definitely improved leaps and bounds.
 
Poor selection from Misbah has meant ive lost all hope even in this most favoured format
 
About 30-35 runs short on this ground, but well tried.

Outstanding effort by Babar and Ifti chacha. Utmost respect.

Fakhar and Asif to get the boot. Both have been next to useless for a while in this format now.
 
ashton agar looks soo confident about chasing this total like he didnt even talk about pak bowling
that just shows how easy the pitch is and rubbish pak top order is
 
The youngsters on the bench could’ve been playing first class cricket at the moment and gaining some much needed experience.
 
The only way I can be annoyed further today is that after giving his customary ten runs an over, Irfaan either pulls up unfit in the second over or drops a catch at short third man
 
just about tuning in to the shoar sharaba. So misbah selects the oldies wahab and irfan..why? whats the point? if we were going to continue this policy why not just leave the T20 team alone until after the world cup? But alas..
 
What have u liked about asif? Plz tell me

Who would you play? Fakhar, Haris? There's no one in this squad currently. That's why I'm putting Asif at 6 or maybe 7 behind imad. And hoping we don't leave runs to be scored for no. 6 and 7 batsman. But in the last match if he connects he can maybe hit a couple in the over or two
 
They should open with Amir and Imad, if we get an early wicket or two we could be in the game. Apart from the top 3, the Aussie batting isn't that experienced. The same thing that happened to England today could happen.
 
Australia will chase it by 15 overs if not earlier depends how many overs Irfan does?
 
Irfan was never that great bowler to begin with. He got so much hype due to his height.
 
Irfan all over the place

Finch knows how to slaughter him

Fielding is so lazy they're running easily every ball
 
Did you guys just see that throw from asif Ali on that he does merit a place in galli mohaala xi
 
Well that was a fun over from Irfan.

Irfan looks like he is 40+ rather than 37. Not his fault I guess since he doesn't have the healthiest and most well built body. The guy is way past his prime. It seems everyone can see it except the coach and selector.

On current form even a couple of hits seem very unlikely
 
It kinda feels weird not to see Sarfraz behind the stumps.

The game is very much open, and Irfan might take a fiver and win the game.

But when selecting a player with Irfan's physical prowess (or lack of), it sends a message across Pakistan cricket about the required fitness standards. I know it's not his fault and perhaps never recieved the right advice/training regiment during his developing years, but apart from his 4 overs he becomes an immediate liability for the remaining 36 overs of a T20 game!
 
Irfan should hang up his boots.

Babar mate, what exactly is the thought process? If you want to open with Imad, give him the first over before the batsmen could get a sighter!

Pakistan will lose this game with Amir only bowling 2-3 overs!
 
Great over from Amir. He’s a class apart. Imagine giving irfan the first over instead
 
Now that is what you call a bowler bloody hell man what a genius even if he doesn’t pick up wickets he is very economical and plus like if he really try’s harder his speed is still 145 he was bowling at 140 right now
 
Since the CWC Amir has been pitching the ball up which is very good to see!
 
Imad wasim is a sort of cricketer who will play for 10 years without putting in a match winning performance against a good team. I am glad he's an undroppable member of our side
 
Our players are so shameless that even they are old and non-performing they don't want to retire and criticise if they don't get picked.
 
Amir is enough experience. We don't need the useless "experience" of Irfan and Wahab to teach our Youngsters. Musa and Hasnain must play in Perth.
