Australia v Pakistan | 4th ODI | Sydney | Jan 22, 2017 | Australia Innings

[Syed1]

What happened?

Threw the ball at Khawaja, almost became embarrassing for him since Rizwan barely gathered it, then Rizwan became excited and threw the ball back which hit the stumps at the non-striking end and almost ricocheted for a single LOL

 

[Sarfarazian92]

Are there regional one-day cup matches today?

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

However, things have settled a bit; last 5 overs have yielded 24 runs only.

 

[blackanhyellow]

Pakistan can chase 380 on this pitch easily.

Maybe if they are allowed to bat twice.

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

Aamir has been out of Intl. cricket for 5 years and still he hits 140+ consistently.

These other ladoos has been playing consistently and still can hardly hit 135 and usually bowls 125-135.

 

[Syed1]

It seems like whereever the ball is hit there is no fielder nearby. Are we playing with less players? So many gaps

 

[blackanhyellow]

However, things have settled a bit; last 5 overs have yielded 24 runs only.

Yes but no wickets down. They bat deep, this will be a 350+ score unless Pak pulls out some magic.

 

[msb314]

Hassan Ali economical as always.

 

[Sarfarazian92]

Warner bhai in party mood

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

We are like worse version of Sri Lanka.

 

[street cricketer]

Khawaja playing tuk tuk.

 

[Cricket World]

It is going to be 4-1 result and we might get rid of AA as captain and AS for good

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Watching Azhar captaining is torture.

 

[Belawal2014]

Been away for a while and I come back to see Pakistan getting a hammering..

 

[Syed1]

Watching Azhar captaining is torture.

I hope these two are the last two matches of this torture

 

[msb314]

Vicky bhai ripping apart Azhar's tactics

Vicky bhai is the REASON Azhar is captain in the first place

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Hafeez is back into the attack.

 

[Belawal2014]

Seems to be a good pitch though.

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

4 men on the boundary. Total defensive mode from Azhar.

 

[Syed1]

Hafeez back lol

After Junaid had bowled a 2 run over

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

Aus need to take more risk, so they can lose wickets. This boring.

 

[Sadevdesai]

This is not looking good .... going back to sleep !!!

 

[Syed1]

Vicky bhai is the REASON Azhar is captain in the first place

No Misbah is the reason.

 

[Abdul]

Seems to be a good pitch though.

Check pm please.

 

[Da_Future_Knick]

Have Pakistan not learned, you NEED to take wickets against australia, can't just sit back and wait for them to make mistakes

 

[Syed1]

Check pm please.

Congratulations [MENTION=138318]Belawal2014[/MENTION]

 

[Belawal2014]

350+ incoming.

 

[Justcrazy]

Hafeez back bowling

 

[JattMaula]

Warner double anyone?

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

Have Pakistan not learned, you NEED to take wickets against australia, can't just sit back and wait for them to make mistakes

Azhar follows School of Misbah which is losing gracefully

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Good over from hafeez but bring mid off up for Khawaja

 

[msb314]

No Misbah is the reason.

hmm probably a bit of both.

 

[coy0607]

It is going to be 4-1 result and we might get rid of AA as captain and AS for good

We've been saying that for the last 3 series

This is Pakistan cricket- don't except Azhar and Asad to be dropped so easily. They might just be added to T20 team

 

[Justcrazy]

80 in 13 overs

great start

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Azhar, Asad should only stick to test matches and that too as players. Nothing more nothing less !!

 

[msb314]

Good over from hafeez but bring mid off up for Khawaja

Economical as always - Hafeez always effective against the lefties.

 

[Syed1]

Azhar, Asad should only stick to test matches and that too as players. Nothing more nothing less !!

Sir Azhar is your next test captain.

 

[Speedster777]

Hafeez back lol

After Junaid had bowled a 2 run over

hafeez wasted the new ball which has cost us dearly. Azhar has been accommodating him

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

Seems as If Aus want to keep wickets to 30th over ans then unleash T20 stuff.

Can easily be 180+ for loss of 1 wicket after 20 overs.

And then another 180 in last 20 overs.

Pakistan should get ready to chase 360+

 

[Syed1]

Same bowling line up looks so much more toothless under Azhar. Why is that?

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Sir Azhar is your next test captain.

As much as I hate KCCA Mafia, for once I want them to lobby as much against Azhar becoming the test captain as they can.....

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

I wish we had physically fit players with ability.

What pinds are we picking these players from.

 

[Syed1]

hafeez wasted the new ball which has cost us dearly.

Kaptaan Kool asked him to bowl

 

[Belawal2014]

Could even be 400+ lol.

 

[msb314]

Hassan Ali bowls a great line and length - can't believe we have persisted with Irfan, Rahat etc. for so long.

 

[Syed1]

As much as I hate KCCA Mafia, for once I want them to lobby as much against Azhar becoming the test captain as they can.....

Bhai KCCA bhi alag hi bala hai.. they will lobby for Khurram Manzoor's inclusion as test opener

 

[Indiafan]

Yes because it was his decision to bowl with the new ball? Please think before you post

Didnt he open bowling last match as well when he was captain? I dont think 2 overs made any difference

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Could even be 400+ lol.

Won't be 1 bit surprised if this actually happens in the next couple of hours

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Azhar needs to put Moreno pressure on Khawaja. Keep 3 men back in stead of 4. Awful captaincy

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

This will be Azhars last series as captain.

 

[Speedster777]

Hassan Ali bowls a great line and length - can't believe we have persisted with Irfan, Rahat etc. for so long.

yeah he's an aggressive bowler as well unlike rahat/irfan

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Bhai KCCA bhi alag hi bala hai.. they will lobby for Khurram Manzoor's inclusion as test opener

Han yeah bhi hay

 

[Hamza_]

All of a sudden bowling looks toothless.

 

[Syed1]

Won't be 1 bit surprised if this actually happens in the next couple of hours

I think if that happens Kaptaan Fanstastic might be the first one to have 400 hit against him twice

 

[ekpakistani]

run-rate going down ... i smell wickets .. in sha Allah soon

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Hassan Ali bowls a great line and length - can't believe we have persisted with Irfan, Rahat etc. for so long.

Very underrated bowler. Has an excellent future especially in LOIs

 

[Syed1]

All of a sudden bowling looks toothless.

It is because easy singles are on offer.

 

[Belawal2014]

Won't be 1 bit surprised if this actually happens in the next couple of hours

Shades of that England ODI all over again. I remember in one game frigging jason Roy got a headache because he was smashing us to all parts. )

 

[Syed1]

His brain couldn't compute how easy we were making it for him )

 

[Brilliance]

They are definitely not looking for wickets here.

 

[Belawal2014]

His brain couldn't compute how easy we were making it for him )

The man seriously needed a time out hahahah )

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

No ball.

Muft ka shot

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Free Hit Coming here we go !!

 

[Syed1]

140 kph noball by Hasan, and people said he bowls in the 120s

 

[Abdullah719]

Are there regional one-day cup matches today?

http://www.pakpassion.net/fixtures/domestic-schedule.html

Nope.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Hassan was going so well and then he bowls a no ball...

 

[Belawal2014]

In all seriousness, need to get Warner to bring down the RR.

 

[msb314]

With the free hti - hassan should bowl a slower ball

 

[Speedster777]

well bowled hassan

 

[Madplayer]

This is a very big ground. Pakistani batsmen will struggle here.

 

[Nasty Naz]

And the brain dead Pakistani bowlers continue to bowl no ball. As if the fielders already don't give up free runs...

 

[Syed1]

These sort of pitches are so unfair for minnows like us

 

[Syed1]

Compare the team in the last couple of ODIs to this team. A world of difference.

 

[msb314]

we are bowling well and tight.

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Pakistan are probably the only team that plays against the opposition as well as themselves during any game whatsoever.

 

[Justcrazy]

will give strong competition to waqar and Yusuf for worst captain .

 

[msb314]

These sort of pitches are so unfair for minnows like us

Don't give up yet!

 

[PerfectionPersonified]

Pakistan is a terrible odi team . Not expecting a fluke anymore like mcg

 

[Syed1]

hafeez bowling dot after dot but still only 5 infielders.

 

[Syed1]

Lol burger Rizwan referring to Azhar as "skippy"
