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

Lol Hasan Ali putting those Bumrah fans to sleep. Now you see who the real youngster beauty is.
:afridi
 
Pakistan and Bangladesh are true brothers when it comes to displaying fielding : shakib
 
Okay sure, Imad isn't exactly bowling too well but he had two genuine wickets there..
 
Huh? Hassan Ali just bowled a maiden and continues to look threatening. Why in the world is Junaid coming in for him? You need wickets here!
 
After this it's just wade. Handscomb is a very good batsman but he isn't a hitter

Azhar Ali did inny minny mainny mo and picked Junaid.. That's how he does his field changes
 
Mian will be key today - one of the best ODI chasers around.

Actually, middle order don't chase 300+ scores; they coast the boat. It's PCB's buzurg believes that, when asking is 6.5 at the start, you pile that to 8.5 by 30th over & 10.5 by 40th - then win Larke Lenge style. Hence, more or less from Umar to Maqsood - whoever tried to play aggressively first was sent to 6/7, then to bench, finally to fix their game from Basit Ali ....

PAK can chase a score of 320, from 203/5 after 30 overs; rather that 150/1 after 30 - you figure out who is key. Mian is in great form now, but I know a bit of his jump - he can manage up to 7/over - that too for 15 overs max.
 
Good bowling from Hasan today, but his fielding has been atrocious.

thinking must be that when aussies are 300 / 4 in 46 overs .. that hassan will come get a double hatrick ... really nothing of a decision to make that change .. should have continued with Hassan
 
Is only me or anybody else think Azhar is not completely fit.preventing himself from running unnecessary

Preach sir!

However, Azhar will be forced to attack. Hope Sharjeel gets off to a flyer.

Good point
 
Even though Imad has been unlucky with dropped catches, should he really be bowling another over?

Aussies would've played out Hassan and slammed Imad at the death.

thats possible but fact is hassan was in the zone .. and he should have been bowled out .. few more wickets here would have been better .... unless of course Hassan felt tired
 
Azhar has done his math wrong. Junaid can't bowl two straight overs. Hafeez or Malik will have to come on.
 
How many PAK has dropped today? I thought, fielders fielded well :(

By the way, I see a little improvement in Azhar - Sharjeel has dropped one at point ...... last time, in NZ - Maqsood dropped at same spot & then Sarfu had to stop Amir at mid run, because he found Irfan at point ......

These are gems of my Cricket life ....
 
Rotund Umar Akmal attempts to field in the inner circle with his foot and fails miserably
