Australia v Pakistan | 3rd T20I | Perth Stadium, Perth | 8th November, 2019 | Pakistan Innings

[Amirforpresident]

That was a beauty

 

[IMMY69]

How can it be a bad desision, he was out.

Because it looked like it was going down leg in real time.
Benefit should have been given to the batsmen and then it’s upto Aussies to re ire.

 

[Bilal Ahmad15]

Holy crap, the two T20 batsmen in the middle are Imam Ul- Haq and Haris Sohail

 

[letme alone]

oh, bad my stream stopped and an other out!

 

[Asif321]

rizwan is bad when ball is coming in
and you throw him to play against strac oh lord

 

[shah_1]

No 1 ranked )

 

[ARK Rafay]

Now you'll see a rebuilding phase from Imam and Haris that will leave us 50 at the end of 10th over

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pathetic batting effort so far, when are PCB going to realize this format is for T20 specialists. Not box standard batsmen.

 

[Pete Rose]

Losing early wickets in t20 shouldn’t really impact your ability to set a target, but Panicstan gonna Panicstan.

 

[King_Kohli]

What a ripper from startc
very first ball, not sure what Rizwan was trying for

 

[Asif321]

rizwan closed eyes and throw his bat , horrible batting

 

[ARK Rafay]

"kuch shehr ky log bhi zalim thy, kuch humy bhi mrny ka shoq tha" - Whole Australia Tour Summed up

 

[Zeshan547]

we just need to see off first 20 overs and then the swing will die and things will get easier, oh wait it's frigging T20, sadly our Phast youngsters won't have much to play with.

 

[letme alone]

test match start

 

[Bilal Ahmad15]

Mohammad Rizwan has a major issue when playing his shots, espicially deliveries cominng into his pads. He has a wobbly head in almost all of his shots and looks very uncomfortable when playing his shots (looks like he just plays this random helicopter-like shot almost all of the time).

 

[Hawkeye]

The hype brigade should tone down their hype of Rizwan.

He's another Fawad Alam.

 

[castortroy]

Pak should really stop touring Australia

These tours are so embarrassing

 

[Pete Rose]

rizwan is bad when ball is coming in
and you throw him to play against strac oh lord

He is also bad against pace and generally a rubbish limited over batsman outside UAE

 

[Hawkeye]

rizwan closed eyes and throw his bat , horrible batting

Umm... he always plays like that.

You got to have a very bad understanding of batting to not have spotted this earlier. Always been skeptical of Riz.

He plays like a headless chicken under lights.

 

[castortroy]

Fans predicting for us to win 3 nil lol

 

[shah_1]

Imam is a clown batsman )

Embarrassing

None of his shots are balanced

 

[ARK Rafay]

5th day pitch at perth!

 

[Pete Rose]

Early signs of Panicstan: try to slog everything to mid-wicket

 

[Asif321]

we cant go worldcup with this team and with this coach

 

[Usman Chadda]

Imam playing for a well-deserved draw here

 

[Mesozoic]

I just thought how can a no.1 ranked T20 team pick a guy who averages 10 and strikes at 98 in their playing xi and the next thing I see is him getting castled.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Imam poor Technic not looking great against extra pace and bounce here.

 

[Pete Rose]

Umm... he always plays like that.

You got to have a very bad understanding of batting to not have spotted this earlier. Always been skeptical of Riz.

He plays like a headless chicken under lights.

I mean it’s not like the coach doesn’t have highlights of the 2016 tour

 

[castortroy]

Boys v Men

Test matches will also be finishing in 3 days

 

[DeadBall]

Doesn't matter what score we get as long as Smith is there, but some batting practice would be good.

 

[Asif321]

Umm... he always plays like that.

You got to have a very bad understanding of batting to not have spotted this earlier. Always been skeptical of Riz.

He plays like a headless chicken under lights.

dont think he can play test against good pace and good spin

 

[Mamoon]

No 1 ranked )

ICC writes better fiction than Tolkien and Martin. Our number 1 rank is the biggest drama in history of cricket.

Our resident delusional army would blame the recent downturn in T20 results on the sacking Of Mickey and Sarfraz and the inclusion of the likes of Haris and Rizwan, which could be further from the truth.

We have consistently been a deeply mediocre T20 side since 2011.

 

[castortroy]

Don't want this team to tour Auz again for at least 5 years

 

[Bilal Ahmad15]

Imam gone. 22-3

 

[angrypathan]

Rip

 

[Asif321]

I just thought how can a no.1 ranked T20 team pick a guy who averages 10 and strikes at 98 in their playing xi and the next thing I see is him getting castled.

even chachu didnt pick imam in t20

 

[King_Kohli]

Imam

 

[ARK Rafay]

Predictions.

75? or 90? or 100? or 115?

 

[Energy]

Aussies far too hot. We're far too lethargic.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Imam gone! cant play the short ball! clueless!

 

[Nov15]

That was Bhatija Imam’s idea of rebuilding the innings?

 

[another drop catch]

What is the lowest score of Pakistan in T20is ?

 

[Asif321]

this is pathetic how can you select imam
really angry on misbah . please get rid of him as coach atleast

 

[letme alone]

Fans predicting for us to win 3 nil lol

faith in our self!

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

Hopefully in 6 months Misbah will be gone and we can finally hire a world class coach.

This is abysmal.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Predictions.

75? or 90? or 100? or 115?

50 All out.

 

[Asif321]

this looks under 100 out score today

 

[ARK Rafay]

Wicket coming lads, wicket coming lads

 

[Junaids]

Chief Selector + Head Coach = Single Point of Accountabilty.

Do we have to put up with still more of this Misbah Nightmare?

Can the Army overthrow the Cricket Board like they used to do with governments?

 

[Asif321]

this partnership last hope

 

[Pete Rose]

Hopefully in 6 months Misbah will be gone and we can finally hire a world class coach.

This is abysmal.

You can’t hire world class coaches if you keep getting rid them for no good reasons

 

[King_Kohli]

Pak should really stop touring Australia

These tours are so embarrassing

Somehow loosing against Aus is better compare to teams like Lanka

 

[Mamoon]

You kept backing Riz.

Both Fawad and Sarfraz are better batsmen than this joke.

Fawad? I can also name around 10 other batsmen who are better than Rizwan, but they are not keepers so what is the point?

Rizwan is better than Sarfraz and he has proved that already in ODIs. Neither can play T20s though, so I am not sure why Rizwan failing here makes Sarfraz look better.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

didn't he saw what happen to babar, what a rubbish shot to play at this stage vs starc while he was bringing that back big time, there was no other outcome possible, does these guys really have anything between their ears?

They do and that is

 

[another drop catch]

Harris Sohail 0(7) wow just amazing

 

[letme alone]

50 All out.

Nah yar! itnay thory

 

[BalluBalleBaaz]

Babar seems like Tendulkar in front of rest of the batsmen.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Out or not. But iftikhar is a fighter, he won't give up

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Haris playing himself in 0*(7)

 

[Hawkeye]

Chief Selector + Head Coach = Single Point of Accountabilty.

Do we have to put up with still more of this Misbah Nightmare?

Can the Army overthrow the Cricket Board like they used to do with governments?

Oh right.

PPers hype a player to the moon. Demand him to be selected.

Misbah selects them (RIzwan and Haris).

Predictably, they're terrible, and PPers were just doing their regular 'hype the one who's not playing'.

 

[shortbread]

Hopefully in 6 months Misbah will be gone and we can finally hire a world class coach.

This is abysmal.

I dont think Misbah will make a great coach, albeit cannot blame him for this.

This terrible batting is not his fault. Babar's wicket was a close call and a good ball. But Rizwan's gap between bat and pad, can be used as a drive thru, Imam doesn't know how to play a hook shot. This is not lack of coaching, it's simply terrible basics.

 

[Bilal Ahmad15]

Honestly, Iftikhar is a solid middle order batsman for both T20 and ODI, even though he may be a bit old

 

[Asif321]

Fawad? I can also name around 10 other batsmen who are better than Rizwan, but they are not keepers so what is the point?

Rizwan is better than Sarfraz and he has proved that already in ODIs. Neither can play T20s though, so I am not sure why Rizwan failing here makes Sarfraz look better.

how has he proved that in odis? i dont understand
with his useless centuries in uae?
sarfraz has done well in england in australia in odis
too early to say he is better in Odis

 

[Mamoon]

This a clinic from Haris.


In warming up before a net session.

 

[Hawkeye]

Rizwan is better than Sarfraz and he has proved that already in ODIs. Neither can play T20s though, so I am not sure why Rizwan failing here makes Sarfraz look better.

Okay. Let that myth bust as well.

 

[arunpsm]

If Iftikhar scores here too, then we will have to agree that he is the next best bat to Babar in Pak today...

 

[Usman Chadda]

I totally remember us being this bad under Mickey guys, even when we played against a fairly full-strength England team in England.

Totally.

 

[another drop catch]

Iftikhar Ahmed showing some fight which was expected from top order batsmen

 

[Mamoon]

how has he proved that in odis? i dont understand
with his useless centuries in uae?
sarfraz has done well in england in australia in odis

It is not 2016 anymore. Sarfraz cannot score 2 hundreds in a series against any opposition on any pitch in 2019.

Drop Rizwan by all means if you find a better alternative. Sarfraz isn’t one of them.

 

[Asif321]

ifti looks the only deal

 

[imshally81]

Should be wide

 

[King_Kohli]

Iftikhar looks more older than his official age

 

[Asif321]

It is not 2016 anymore. Sarfraz cannot score 2 hundreds in a series against any opposition on any pitch in 2019.

Drop Rizwan by all means if you find a better alternative. Sarfraz isn’t one of them.

you canot say rizwan is better in odis yet let him play more

 

[Green Patriot]

Haris

 

[lifecric7]

pakistan are such a funny team to watch....borderline clownish

 

[angrypathan]

Ifti chacha is my hero

 

[Energy]

Haris needs to step up today.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Ifti playing well here.

34/3 after 6 overs.

 

[Bilal Ahmad15]

Stanlake will destroy the rest of the batsmen
