Australia v Pakistan | 5th ODI | Adelaide | Jan 26, 2017 | Australia Innings

[Ellipsism]

I said on merit, not from domestics.

Domestic players are there just to fill the team.

Now don't tell there is no talent in Pakistan.

It's the system which is atrocious.
Not the talent

The system is bad but the talent is worse.

 

[ekpakistani]

Why is Imad Wasim not in the squad guys?

injury i think in the hand/fingers?

 

[vandokkum]

David Warner's SINCE 5th October

Last 11 ODI innings- 117, 6, 173, 24, 119, 156, 7, 16, 35, 130, 121*

Runs- 904
Average- 90.4
Strike rate- 111.88
100s- 6

Dude has scored almost 1000 ODI runs in 3 months

Yeah

Not even Kohli or Tendulkar have scored 6 hundreds in 11 innings, that should tell everyone how good Warner has been.

 

[EliteCynical]

Travis should retire so the Big Show can come in for 15+ overs

Don't think you can retire out can you?

 

[Joseph Gomes]

200 run opening partnership in ODIs. Pakistan's bowling has become farce. Their ODI ranking is absolutely justified

 

[Archer]

3 runs in the over. Finally some light amidst darkness

 

[marlonbrowndo]

If Azhar scores a 50 he wont be dropped. Likh ke lele.

Won't be dropped if he gets a duck. Sad reality

 

[EliteCynical]

injury i think in the hand/fingers?

Ok. Thanks mate. Was wondering if he was dropped. Anyway he should feel lucky he is missing out.

 

[Indiafan]

Your comment is similar to some of our fans comparing Asad Shafiq with Kohli ..

No, because Kohli actually scores runs instead of just "looking good". Are you seriously saying BK who performs everywhere is not as good as Amir

 

[fazleefridi]

The players performing at the domestic level are rubbish themselves.

The system is bad but the talent is worse.

It isn't.

Pakistan would never be short of talent.

Talent won't be on the scene, it has to be found, groomed through proper system.

No talent, is anything, but an excuse.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Don't think you can retire out can you?

You can but they don't do it. It's impractical. Would rather hit out

 

[Pollack]

Honestly kind of excuses given for Amir are similar to what we give for ishant sharma.
How is it that he is beating the bat almost every other match but not getting much wickets.I can understand if this excuse is given for one match two matches even up to four matches.But alas he is now perennially unlucky!

 

[Archer]

Suprisingly, Wahab has been the best bowler today by a mile. People said he doesn't have a cricketing brain but it's something about Adelaide that has Wahab operating in full swing.

 

[vandokkum]

Travis Head has been beyond awful, but by Pakistani standards a strike rate of 75/80 is actually decent.

 

[Pollack]

Suprisingly, Wahab has been the best bowler today by a mile. People said he doesn't have a cricketing brain but it's something about Adelaide that has Wahab operating in full swing.

Wahab was always going to be better bowler in Australian conditions flat or no flat especially in limited overseas cricket.

 

[Indiafan]

Amir drops a dolly

 

[msb314]

THis team is a disgrace...

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Lmao.

 

[Hitman]

Embarrassing from Aamir.

 

[Da_Future_Knick]

Amir returns the favor

 

[Convict]

amazing

 

[Zeshan547]

What has happened to wahab? The fluke of century.

 

[Sarfarazian92]

badlaaaaa )

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Hahahahaha

His length is not good enough to get wickets on these pitches. when he beats the bat because of movement, he beats the bat by a long way.

[Ellipsism]

Kumar has only played in Aus, Eng, WI and India.

Averages 166 in Australia.

Not to mention his average of 40 in ODI cricket.

Not that Amir is any good either.

 

[Joseph Gomes]

 

[Pollack]

Amir drops a dolly

He is unlucky ball outswinged at the last moment into his hand.He is world class fielder otherwise.

 

[Ellipsism]

It isn't.

Pakistan would never be short of talent.

Talent won't be on the scene, it has to be found, groomed through proper system.

No talent, is anything, but an excuse.

It's not an excuse but the truth.

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Hope Mickey stays healthy and doesn't take too much stress.

 

[Sarfarazian92]

LMAO wahab going at under 4 an over.

 

[Lynx]

And our first customary drop of the match goes to world class Amir. Boys trying really hard to get Australia to 400.

 

[DHONI_FAN]

I can catch better with butter coated fingers

 

[Sarfarazian92]

Steve Rixon, you're getting sacked in the morning )

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Wahab economy of 3.17 . Head really needs to go after the bowling now. Batting at Azhar's strike rate

 

[msb314]

And our first customary drop of the match goes to world class Amir. Boys trying really hard to get Australia to 400.

Our first drop was off the very first ball.

 

[fazleefridi]

The players performing at the domestic level are rubbish themselves.

It's not an excuse but the truth.

I disagree with your opinion.
Anyways, thanks for your thoughts.

 

[Jabo]

Lol

214-0

big score coming up

hopefully we can make more than 250

 

[Ankit007]

Perhaps amir thought if he will drop Warner then he will smack some little....

 

[jnaveen1980]

If i remember right Aamir dropped Hussey right in one of the test match which cost the match.

 

[Ellipsism]

A blind dog can catch better than the Pakistan fielders.

 

[UpInTheAir]

Big hearts this Australia Day.

 

[Ellipsism]

I disagree with your opinion.
Anyways, thanks for your thoughts.

I'm all for names.

Name me some players.

 

[Archer]

Lol, this is a blessing in disguise, Big Show would have come out and scored a hundred

 

[ekpakistani]

actually .. I dont understand why mickey arthur n rixon (is that name of fielding coach?) ... are making faces and show that they are upset ..

yes players suck and they can't catch to save their lives BUT coaching staff must also be blamed .. their techniques are not working ... they need to be held to account

 

[Sarfarazian92]

What's the highest opening partnership in ODIs

 

[DHONI_FAN]

Pakistan fielders look like 50 years old uncle when chasing a ball

 

[Snatch]

I remember the days when Pakistan were good at One day cricket, in fact better in ODIs than Tests.

I honestly think Bangladesh would beat them if they played a series tomorrow.

 

[jnaveen1980]

God.. I am not sure that ball even touched his hand lol How did he manage to do that.

 

[Ankit007]

Frankly speaking fielding coach should be the first one to be sacked

Now blame the coaches.

The role of a coach is grossly overrated on this forum.

 

[Lynx]

Our first drop was off the very first ball.

Yeah saw that, but it was a half chance. Tough for Azhar. This one, however, well. Doesn't get any easier than this.

 

[Pollack]

His length is not good enough to get wickets on these pitches. when he beats the bat because of movement, he beats the bat by a long way.

Yes. Even his line isnt any better. His outswingers are more away from the batsman than to put batsman in real trouble. Its true overall he is not balling rubbish though.

 

[ekpakistani]

Frankly speaking fielding coach should be the first one to be sacked

fully agree with you here - their techniques are not effective

 

[Sarfarazian92]

Hassan Ali heading towards his maiden century

 

[Ellipsism]

What's the highest opening partnership in ODIs

286

 

[Shafi]

You've failed to mention names but rather have turned to hypothetical situations to back your claim.

Ok Kabir Khan, loud mouth Mohsin or even Haroon. They may select 2-3 TTF but Inzi selects more than half

 

[Indiafan]

Kumar has only played in Aus, Eng, WI and India.

Averages 166 in Australia.

Not to mention his average of 40 in ODI cricket.

Not that Amir is any good either.

He played only 1 test in Aus and way before he re-invented himself. I am just saying the gulf between the two is definitely not like between Asad and Kohli

 

[vandokkum]

I sometimes get the feeling from waqar's commentary that he has enjoyed the thrashing Pakistan have received on this tour, perhaps he feels he was treated unfairly

 

[msb314]

Not sure if Warner is a beast or we are just rubbish...

 

[jnaveen1980]

Frankly speaking fielding coach should be the first one to be sacked

I don't know if you need a coach to catch that ball. 10 year old kid would catch that these days.

 

[Archer]

Have an odd feeling Hassan will pick up a lucky wicket

Almost had it

 

[Mr Consistent]

 

[Ellipsism]

Ok Kabir Khan, loud mouth Mohsin or even Haroon. They may select 2-3 TTF but Inzi selects more than half

Who should have Inzi picked?

 

[Shafi]

Get rid of Azhar and replace him with Hafeez. Might as well cry now.

1 fluke win and people praising Hafeez

 

[Convict]

What is this field?

 

[Indiafan]

Frankly speaking fielding coach should be the first one to be sacked

He should ideally resign but I dont see what fielding coaches can do about basic catching when the players get under pressure and drops dollies

 

[Lynx]

A fielding coach can only do so much, and help you fine tune your skills. You don't suddenly learn the art of fielding from scratch in your mid 20s and 30s. This malaise is a much deeper problem.

 

[oneindia]

when is the second power play?

 

[Abdullah719]

Poor guys, they don't know what to do.

 

[Sarfarazian92]

Hassan Ali, 5 wicks one day, century the next )

 

[Pollack]

Frankly speaking fielding coach should be the first one to be sacked

If players are naturally rubbish fielders what would the poor coach do. Still they should sack him for some accountability and responsibility

 

[Archer]

Looking forward to Hasan's century with the ball. Might as well beat Wahab's 110

 

[Ankit007]

I don't know if you need a coach to catch that ball. 10 year old kid would catch that these days.

Yes I agree. So if they are not able to do it that means either they don't practice much or they don't have good technique...

 

[Ellipsism]

He played only 1 test in Aus and way before he re-invented himself. I am just saying the gulf between the two is definitely not like between Asad and Kohli

Haven't seen much of Kumar since the Australia tour, didn't inspire me much then.

Is he faster now?

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Can OZ make 400 today?

 

[Sarfarazian92]

Wahab ka kyu lihaaz kar rahe ho usse bhi thora maaro na.

 

[DHONI_FAN]

body language of these Pakistani fielders suggests that none of them want the ball to come to them.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

What is this field?

Atrocious field set. You don't know what it's like to have a captain like this. Mid off and fine leg up. Mashallah Azhar
