Smith and KW are both poor captains.

It will be interesting to see how Root does.

To be honest with you, Kohli isn't that great either.

Kinda goes to show that being the best batsmen on the team doesn't make you the best leader.
 
Sharjeel has abysmal technical discipline, no foot work as if his feet are stuck in cement and keeps poking at deliveries like an idiot, will eventually nick one to the keeper, horrid player, whoever thinks highly of him should reconsider their assessment of him. He's mediocrity personified and ineptness exemplified.
 
Dot balls mounting here, need to rotate strike of boundaries not coming
 
common Pakistan can chase it 300 in 40 overs should be 1st target Babar should hold the innings others should go for big

Haven't seen enough of him, but so far he has proven to be a leader who can get the best out of his players.

Smith crumbles the moment he is on the backfoot, he'd probably be worse than Kane if he had to lead our side.

Well at least he doesn't play maidens to part timers....
 
Poor stuff in these 2 overs.

Dots will lead toa wickrt now
 
Confused commentary of the day "Spin. Head. Around the wicket " who should spin the head around the wicket ? LOL" --- Haha

Some big words there.

I wish the rest of the team was as crap as him, then maybe we'd make more runs. 50 in the last game and 34 so far, I don't care if its a potato batting with a niqami technique as long as they make runs.
 
Babar falling under pressure of a couple of dot balls. Needs to relax and look for gaps and get on the other side. Simple. Sharjeel will take care of the boundaries.

Listening to Chehra mera tha by Vital Signs, and following the match on cricinfo commentary, best way to not jinx the team... so far so good

From Vol 1, circa 1988. Chehra Mera Thaa was a Parveen Shakir ghazal, perhaps the first ghazal used in a pop song.

Sharjeeel is class man no matter what [MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] has to say...

Consistency is the problem. He needs to learn to convert these cameos into big runs, especially given the amount of runs he concedes in the field.

Same could be said about Umar Akmal, Hassan Ali and a few others but you continue to pick on Sharjeel

Sharjeel is the laziest and most unfit player in the squad. Umar Akmal comes second, and I pick on him as well when needs to be.
 
Babar needs to pick up the pace now and start looking for boundaries. Been there for a good 36 balls now. If he gets out now, has to be a pathetic innings.

Yes fantastic smooth and melodious tune.. liked the original version that featured in the video better than the one in the album.. helps enjoy the run chase so far, still a long way to go
 
Babar needs some strength training. It has given players like Kohli a significant edge.

You cannot time the ball to the boundary as well as find gaps all the time.
 
though there is a difference of 2 runs btw a six and a 4...but six is still more useful i mean cricket is such a phenomenal game
 
Sharjeel might get exhausted soon with all the strike rotation.
 
Rubbish batting from Babar, that was nothing shot that too after playing so many dot balls.

Mediocrity personified and ineptness exemplified is 1 run away from his second consecutive fifty. While everyone fails around him, Babar gone as I type.
 
We had 7 off the over already, poor match awareness by Babar.
 
Should have sent in Malik next, instead we will get some next level tuk tuk from prof

Scoring a few ugly runs at the top of the order in field restrictions shouldn't conceal his incompetency as a batsman, he's well and truly a tullabaaz and a hack. His fans can hype up to high heavens but he has way too many flaws and limitations to be considered a long term utility, never been convinced on his batting ever since he made debut.
 
There goes mr. Talent his spin game really sucks. So in a way it's not the worst outcome for pak because hafeez and malik can take care of these lolli pop spinners just hope they have the right approach.
 
One biggest loss in PAK cricket during Misbah era (in fact from Woolmar era, pointing to Misbah won't be fair - he was too sober not to continue the legacy) is the eradication of attacking spinner from LO game - rather than bringing spin - all rounders, who are basically bits & pieces darter.

Biggest misty with such bowlers is, they'll perform when you don't except - dart around on belters & may be get couple of wickets for tight 10 overs. Biggest weakness is, these type of bowlers won't win you matches when you expect them to win - on turners, on defending big totals.
