Australia v Pakistan | 3rd ODI | Perth | Jan 19, 2017 | Pakistan Innings

[msb314]

Why was Asad sent before Malik

Blessing in disguise!

We got rid of him early so don;t have to deal with his useless batting later in the innings.

 

[uberkoen]

Baba 12 runs to go!

 

[MMHS]

Say what you want about Mian but he is one of our best ODI batsman.

He indeed is

 

[world cup captain]

Finally a good over for us.

 

[MMHS]

Again - who was the master of that lofting SIX against spinners?

 

[MABA]

Pakistan starting to pick pace just a bit here

 

[uberkoen]

Need a big innings from Malik today. Hopefully he delivers.

 

[spade]

We have given him 2 wickets because we are trying to attack him unnecessarily. He isn't as easy as you are making him out to be.

Goodness me If travis head appears difficult to face the concerned player isn't playing the right sport. He isn't a club level bowler let alone first class level.

 

[Sarfarazian92]

Australia will seriously consider playing Zampa in the next 2 ODIs looking at the way we have fared against a part-time spinner.

 

[uberkoen]

11 runs to go to equal the world record!

 

[uberkoen]

Has Babar hit any intentional boundaries?

 

[Abdullah719]

Australia will seriously consider playing Zampa in the next 2 ODIs looking at the way we have fared against a part-time spinner.

Hafeez blasted this part-time spinner in the last game and he struggles against lateral movement - naturally opening is his best position.

 

[msb314]

Good use of the feel by Babar!

 

[uberkoen]

Good use of the feel by Babar!

Oh the feels!!!

 

[Idrees1990]

Finally a 4 from Babar!

 

[spade]

This Babar is a good player indeed but is extremely lazy he needs to work hard on his work ethics and like most pakistani batsmen need to learn how to play percentage shots against spin.

 

[msb314]

Brilliant batting - loving this by Malik and Babar!

 

[msb314]

Oh the feels!!!

hahaha

 

[Cricket World]

This sounds like a why did the chicken cross the road type of a joke.

Yes it's a joke from management to troll us

 

[Idrees1990]

6 more runs to go for Babar!

 

[boomboom6]

Hope Haris can return soon, his presence in the middle as a lefty will help against spinners too ... Asad, Rahat & Wahab should be dropped for good.

 

[dildilpak]

babar into 40s! what a relief!

 

[Sarfarazian92]

Hafeez blasted this part-time spinner in the last game and he struggles against lateral movement - naturally opening is his best position.

Seniority zindabad

 

[fazleefridi]

6 runs needed babar

 

[Couch Cricketer]

Hafeez blasted this part-time spinner in the last game and he struggles against lateral movement - naturally opening is his best position.

Ah no Hafeez is a beast against the spinners but he rarely lasts long enough to play the spinners.

 

[Cricket World]

Babar Azam needs 5 more runs to complete 1000 but needs to score a hundred if we want anywhere close to 300

 

[Slog]

Has the ghost of Shehzad possessed Babar today?

 

[Cricket World]

Billy is back

 

[Cricket World]

Let's double the score from here and post 300

 

[Cricket World]

Babar is on 999 with one more to go

 

[taqi]

Let's double the score from here and post 300

will 300 be enough? i see we need 325 atleast

 

[Cricket World]

What do you guys think is safe score

 

[msb314]

Good boundary!

 

[Cricket World]

Agree it is 300 plus pitch with fast outfield

 

[msb314]

will 300 be enough? i see we need 325 atleast

What do you guys think is safe score

Aim for 330+

MAlik and Babar have to bat for atleast 10 more overs for that to happen.

 

[msb314]

1000 runs for Babar!

 

[Cricket World]

Congratulation Babar well done and great achievement

 

[Abdullah]

mashaAllah wellbdone babar

 

[Abdullah]

needs a 100 here inshaAllah

 

[Cricket World]

He is definitely in elite group and let's hope he lives up to the expectation

 

[msb314]

Good running again

Malik has to be one of our fastest and fittest players on the team as well.

 

[Cricket World]

Malik looks batting so easy in middle overs as Shoaib Akhtar says why it is difficult to learn

 

[spade]

This partnership has to take pakistan to atleast 200, Well done Babar Azam, now he needs to focus a lot more and get a 100. Shoaib Malik is currently the jugular vein of this team.

 

[Abdullah]

travis heads 3 overs need to go for 35 . then we looking at 330. we need 320 here i feel

 

[Cricket World]

This pair need to stay there till 40th overs to capitalize last 10 overs

 

[MABA]

Malik showing everyone in the team how to run between wickets

 

[marlonbrowndo]

This partnership has been brilliant so far. So effortless

 

[msb314]

50 for Babar!

 

[shariqnoor]

Shoaib Malik is such an asset to have in this team.

 

[Taaya]

I think Malik's Big Bash experience has helped him tremendously in this series. I was a big critic of his in the 2011-2014 period, but he has clearly worked hard on his game during his time away. I wish certain other talents were as hard working as him. A true professional.

 

[Abdullah]

needs to make up. whiops malik gne

 

[MABA]

Oh man...Malik was playing so well, but well bowled by bowler

 

[marlonbrowndo]

50 for Babar. Well played

 

[msb314]

Malik what have you done!

 

[boomboom6]

damn it Malik falls

 

[yasir]

Rule of thumb is double the score after 30, with no strac that's very possible. 320+ is in sight. They need to keep batting doing what they are doing.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Damn....

 

[Ankit007]

Karo Sab shoib ki or tarif. He is gone

 

[MMHS]

Gone - Mian lost it at wrong time. Still improves average though

 

[MABA]

Pakistan looks like they will set target of around 250 here with the amount of real batsmen left. Only Babar and Akmal left for us

 

[spade]

Oh dear big big wicket...Pakistan have lost a big fish to a fairly innocuous delivery.

 

[shariqnoor]

Please don't have us limp to 220 again. This is clearly a 300+ pitch.

 

[Cricket World]

Wrong time to loose wicket lets hope UA applies himself

 

[Mamoon]

Very untimely wicket, but Malik at his best is about twice as good in ODIs as Misbah. He would have scored half the runs in the same situation, although he would probably still be out there.

 

[Abdullah]

this can still go wrong.
akmal needs to prove himself here. take it easy for 7 8 overs. i guess they will put head back on next over

 

[boomboom6]

better not send Rizwan here ... Umar should be in.

 

[160KPH]

Just need some lower order hitting and Babar to carry through the innings.

 

[Thivagar]

Will Pakistan score 270+ today ? What do you guys think ? I say no.

 

[tanveer din]

Karo Sab shoib ki or tarif. He is gone

Need 100 from akmal

 

[msb314]

Hope Umar makes a big score!

 

[Jabo]

Akmal needs to score today

 

[Cricket World]

Will Pakistan score 270+ today ? What do you guys think ? I say no.

It's Yes or No depending on collapse or calm innings from UA

 

[tanveer din]

Will Pakistan score 270+ today ? What do you guys think ? I say no.

No, because rest are not reliable batsmen and they will gave their wicket at any time

 

[Thivagar]

My man up to the plate.

 

[Big Mac]

Akmal hasn't even taken guard yet and Slats is already at it with the "talented" line

 

[Jabo]

Will Pakistan score 270+ today ? What do you guys think ? I say no.

No idea

Rizwan in next

Sitting duck

This partnership needs to be good

 

[starbuck]

Need another good partnership from these two

 

[Ankit007]

Need 100 from akmal

50 from akmal will do. Babar needs to make 100 now

 

[Abdullah]

babar needs to stay till the end dont worry about his strike rate until 42nd over

 

[dildilpak]

Real opportunity for Babar to show his mettle.
