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

[castortroy]

Just look at the difference in fielding!

It's like assembling the best fielders in the world to play against the worst fielding team in the world

 

[shah_1]

bye bye malik

 

[flawed_genius]

Misbah would have been proud of that knock.

 

[tanveer din]

Now here came the dashier rizwan

 

[castortroy]

From overs 30-50 is where Pakistan is way behind the rest of the world

 

[adzzy786]

Pakistan have scored only 41 runs between overs 25 and 35!!!

 

[fazleefridi]

This was nothing

Wait for THE EXTREME PAIN

Rizwan chasing this total.

 

[JibranAnsari]

We will lose by 100 runs.

 

[adzzy786]

All the Malik supporters won't accept he's finished. They will come to defend their hero

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Malik lost us this game.

Yes, Malik killed the game with all his experience

 

[JibranAnsari]

This was nothing

Wait for THE EXTREME PAIN

Rizwan chasing this total.

Not much left in the game anyway.

 

[tanveer din]

just hit or out

 

[castortroy]

Akmal definitely batting for his averages here

 

[JibranAnsari]

Rizwan should take his time , score a 50 ball 30. No need to try to chase it down

 

[adzzy786]

From overs 30-50 is where Pakistan is way behind the rest of the world

Probably from the time Sharjeel gets out we are behind the world

 

[ask_analyse_act]

All the Malik supporters won't accept he's finished. They will come to defend their hero

I'm a malik supporter but I wont defend this knock.... he made sure the game is killed till the time he was on the crease...

 

[tanveer din]

Not much left in the game anyway.

Rizwan?

 

[shehz]

I can't understand how batsmen from other teams can effortlessly find gaps once they are settled but our batsmen can't do jack when they are settled..

 

[Indiafan]

Not a single boundary from akmal while chasing 350

 

[castortroy]

Aussies have been pounding us for more than 25 years now.

Never have looked forward to the Aussie tours as they are always so humiliating

 

[Rayyman]

Hit a damn boundary! Why are you defending the ball?!?

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

Commentators must be bored. Analyzing Starc's slip to death.

 

[adzzy786]

Rizwan?

Yeah he's going to score a 54 ball 100

 

[super hitter]

Pakistan is badly missing Sarfaraz's knocks in the middle order

 

[tanveer din]

no

 

[90MPH]

Face it guys, we don't have batsman other than Shajeel who can play fast enough to chase such Massive scores.

Not just talking about hitting boundaries but strike rotation as well. Most simply don't have the ability.

Until either we either pick players straight from grass roots or improve the rubbish domestic cricket structure nothing is going to change for a long time.

 

[shah_1]

Malik lost us this game.

Fielding did

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

Terrible innings from Akmal. Looked in horrible touch.

 

[tanveer din]

Yeah he's going to score a 54 ball 100

Inshallah

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Commentators must be bored. Analyzing Starc's slip to death.

hahahahah Exactly

 

[shah_1]

Umar is awful

 

[msb314]

Umar Akmal you are a disgrace

 

[adzzy786]

Not a single boundary from akmal while chasing 350

But but but he's the greatest talent we have had in the last 25 years. It's not his fault it must be the pitch, or the ball, or the lighting at the ground and he can't see properly.

 

[Belawal2014]

That should be the end of Umar Akmal.

 

[Hitman]

Why was Umar Akmal selected in the first place?

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Hahahahah

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Umer Akmal

11 runs of 22 Balls

 

[flawed_genius]

What a braindead batsman.

 

[castortroy]

Miss the days when we had razzak, afridi to come in. Even players like Mohammed yousef and Inzi could clear the boundaries at will

 

[Rayyman]

Maybe Imad can score 140* off 70 like I did with him in the video game. Not to forget the 11 sixes and 8 fours.

 

[super hitter]

An amazing knock comes to an end

 

[90MPH]

Umar Akmal is a horrible horrible Hack.

Please get rid of him asap.

And I say that as I was one of his biggest fans in 2009/2010.

 

[adzzy786]

Face it guys, we don't have batsman other than Shajeel who can play fast enough to chase such Massive scores.

Not just talking about hitting boundaries but strike rotation as well. Most simply don't have the ability.

Until either we either pick players straight from grass roots or improve the rubbish domestic cricket structure nothing is going to change for a long time.

It's Pakistan, in the past we have been lucky to have been blessed with a few star players. It won't ever change, it's all about the money.

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

What a shocking performance

If he doesn't do something impressive next game he ought to be done till massive first class improvement

 

[tanveer din]

Here came duplicate yuvraj singh

 

[Rayyman]

Stop tuk tuk. Score runs. That's how you win buddy.

 

[super hitter]

we would've chased it down if it was a 300...but fielding was terrible, thanks to sharjeel for the entertainment

 

[Iddy]

I was always a U. Akmal fan is the past but he has looked so unfit and out of sorts. Kid rid now and replace with some young one.

 

[adzzy786]

I'm Sure they are practising for the next test series. Showing good defence here.

 

[adzzy786]

I was always a U. Akmal fan is the past but he has looked so unfit and out of sorts. Kid rid now and replace with some young one.

I'm sure like his brother he will want 3 chances.
Even though he's had a 100.

 

[speedking]

cross batted hack imad comes out

 

[Rayyman]

Here comes Imad with his booming late-cuts/square drives.

 

[Hamza_]

This Akmal is a hack. Not Sharjeel

 

[160KPH]

Would rather have a rock batting than Umar Akmal, it will still find a way to score faster than him.

 

[mz123]

rizwan is looking good....

 

[adzzy786]

I would have rather Akmal slogged out then what he did. He should have just come and attacked but instead wasted balls and now left it to the tail. It's game over.

 

[chinaman00]

After this series PCB seriously needs to assess what it wants to do with Malik, Akmal, Rizwan and Azhar's future as a captain. The silver lining out of this series is the realization that Babar and Sharjeel are future super stars of Pakistan cricket and that the above mentioned players are simply not good enough for the brand of cricket that top teams play today.

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

You know you're an absolute garbage batsman when a limited bloke like Rizwan is playing better strokes then you

 

[adzzy786]

I understand now why People wanted Safraaz out the team and wanted Rizwan. Makes perfect sense

 

[Madplayer]

Next few overs are going to be really frustrating for those who watch this.

 

[Rayyman]

Rizwan wth!?

 

[Rayyman]

One more over of tuking and singles and I'm out.

 

[chinaman00]

This Rizwan guy is the most annoying batsman to watch.

 

[msb314]

Cannot express how angry I am right now

 

[super hitter]

so the plan is, play till the end...

 

[90MPH]

Umar Akmal is in horrible shape as well.

I mean seriously are the selectors really this corrupt ??

Just take the backhander, that's all they do.

 

[tanveer din]

Warner is easily the best fielder in world cricket

Rizwan?

 

[Rayyman]

Cannot express how angry I am right now

We stayed up for this bs.

 

[tanveer din]

rizwan look good

 

[Smbhayi]

Never played a good innings against Australia in his 21 years career.

there's. at least this one http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/65667.html. he's run out by a brilliant throw by Lee.

 

[Third Man]

As I said in another thread, a sure-fire way to get depressed is to watch Pakistan bat.

 

[joly]

Aus has taken a leaf out of Pakistan's fielding, lot of leaves it seems )

 

[msb314]

Good over this for Pakistan.

 

[Madplayer]

Really frustrated by this performance.

 

[tanveer din]

We stayed up for this bs.

keep calm, we are worst odi side

 

[Kaiser_Soze]

Rizwan luks hopeless

 

[Square Drive]

Just another day of sleep sacrificed...

No worries, we'll be up again Wednesday.

 

[Hawkeye]

I understand now why People wanted Safraaz out the team and wanted Rizwan. Makes perfect sense

It did not make sense.

However, keeping Sarf in the side doesn't make sense either. Rizwan isn't a batsman, and Sarfraz isn't made up for LOIs.

Both need to go - along with Malik, Azhar, Imad, Nawaz.

 

[msb314]

We stayed up for this bs.

I know yaar - still hoping for a miracle or atleast some fireworks from our lower order.

 

[MMHS]

Got a bit napping - must say, one of the worst innings in recent times by Mian.

More or less, I am absolutely clear that every batsman is playing for him self. This happens, when you have a shallow character as Captain, whose own chair is crumbling. I think, every player can sense that there is a change coming, therefore they want to be in recent good book.

Few years back PCB did set a nice example though - your bonus is related to the 50s & 100s & 5ors & 10fors you crack .... worthy of their intelligence. Long back MRF or some other company came with Cricketer of the year with similar concept - your point is function of volume ........................... Venkatesh Prashad won the first year's title.
