Australia v Pakistan | 2nd T20I | Manuka Oval, Canberra | 5th November, 2019 | Australia Innings

We need Rumman Raees. Where is he? He's gonna play the same role as AJ Tye will for Australia in the WCT20 and of course Usman Shinwari

And Misbah still won't let him pick the team. Or one player. Or the batting order. Or the coin toss.

Babar should be stay far away from Misabh and avoid any arguments/demand otherwise he will not only loose his captaincy but possibility to be dropped from the squad
 
Do the players have a sports counsellor provided by the PCB??

Babar might be needing one soon.
 
Moterway wicket thee 150 is not enough, Pakistan batting standards needs an upgrade.
 
Two wickets will make the match interesting again.

Maybe give an over to Ifti.

He may get Smith out.

He has only just started playing again after his injury. Just playing club cricket right now, he hasn't played any domestic cricket. No top-level cricket since PSL.

If there's one player not even Misbah can drop it's Babar. They'll drop Ehsan Mani and Wasim Khan before having Babar sit for a game. Probably just take the captaincy away lol.
 
Can't wait to hear what Supercoach has to say after the match. Probably sweettalk, say Musa and Hasnain will pplay, then we will see Rahat Ali playing the next t20I out of nowhere.
 
Ben McDermott is the biggest selection of nepotism after Mitchell marsh this guy is so trash but his daddy is Craig McDermott so he’ll be on the xi with his eyes closed
 
All pressure released by irfan. I’m actually disgusted that this guy is playing international cricket for us
 
Pakistan was 30 runs short and they would have easily made a came out of it with 40 more easy win

There is so many holes if a coach doesn't like a certain player. First Misbah will take away captaincy from Babar then if Bbar has some few bad games he will bench him in the name of bad patch. Than send him in the domestic for gaining form and than ignore him for selection because he has no one to answer.

Misbah was the guy who unethically was a part of the coach selection committee, then sack a well known qualified coach, apply for the position and got the job of selector cum head coach 2 weeks even before the deadline of coaching application with not meeting any criteria, experience or qualification

Well tbh he bowled really well bowling to the best openers in t20 cricket and finishing with 1-26 is very decent plus getting revenge on finch ;)

That's true. But at this point in time Babar is Pakistan cricket. At every other point in time whether it was Imran Khan or Shahid Afridi or Shoaib Akhtar in conflict with the PCB, as big as those players were there was a team around them with other good players there. Right now Pakistan doesn't have a player close to Babar's calibre and the whole country knows that.
 
Never had enough runs on this pitch/ground.

Were good knocks by Iftikhar and Babar but needed at least 180.

Despite a few poor over, the bowlers are continuing to try and take the game deep.

I know I'm gonna get a lot of stick for this - but technically speaking if all the bowlers bowled like Irfan, Pakistan would have won by 15 runs....

Im not justifying Irfan's position in the team/squad - since I agree their are better options - but if we do lose this game it's important to see that the main issue was not having enough runs on the board rather than the bowling. Sure - their are issues in our bowling which need to be addressed, but the obvious problems with the batting can not be overlooked before we scapegoat the usual suspects.

Now that shot is what makes this man special kohli cannot do that this guy is just way too effortless in his batting and ps I don’t know why these pathetic Indians come to Pakistan’s games just to boo them like it’s not India playing
 
The team already stinks and now this guy is playing ridiculous shots. :smith
 
Its going to be one long winter. Pakistan will not be able to get Steve Smith out throughout the Test series also
 
Pitch is so good for the bat. Fakhar, Haris, Rizwan and Asif made a mess of it. I blame Misbah as well
 
Pakistan's issue isn't their bowling, their bowlers have actually done pretty well.

The issue is their batting and fielding, as it has been for the past 30 years.
 
When you have a guy like Babar not being complimented, then you truly deserve to be humiliated.

Fakhar, Harris and a few others need to seriously take a hard look at themselves in the mirror.
 
No matter where Smith Stands. Be it leg stump or 5th stump. He can hit you anywhere he wants
 
A new streak is born. defeated in T20i for God knows how long!
 
"A ramp shot off the back of the bat down to fine leg for 4" - commentators

How do you bowl to that?

Exactly. Bowlers have done a wonderful job to drag this game till the 2nd last over

But slowly slowly people are getting used to with the defeat so an individual performance is not a really big deal since Babr is good but not score heavily like Kohly/Sharma/Warner like 150-170...with SR of 150+. Any confrontation with Misbah PCB's incompetent top officials like Wasim Khan/Mani with take that as a threat or challange to their authority means he will be targetting and dropped.

You will see Misbah will blame Babar's captaincy for the whitewash.
 
Dull bowling attack.

Need to try the youngsters instead of these ttfs!
 
The commies actually made a good point at the start of the innings that it is easier to hit left armers in t20 generally. And given that we have crappy lefties anyways, it is even easier.
 
Babar is basically like 90s Tendulkar. The only decent bat in his country and the rest of the team were a bunch of clowns!
 
In Australia 170 is needed 7 times out of 10. Our batting is just not good enough .

Fakhar is out of form .
Babar is consistent and quality
Harris- Solid but not spectacular
Rizwan - not a t20 player
Asif - needs to be dropped
Ifti- shown good signs so far
