Australia vs Pakistan | Tri-Series: Final | Harare | July 8, 2018 | Pakistan Innings

[90MPH]

Disgusting lazy running by Sarfi.

All his fault 100%.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Very difficult to win from here. Need some magic. Two wickets in the first over really put us on to the backfoot.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Sarfraz kept ball watching rather than keeping his head down and run like Fakhar

 

[imshally81]

Btw good innings by Sarfaraz under pressure... Specially after two wickets down..

 

[Mueez]

Oof Shoaib got lucky there.

 

[NauV]

Absolutely terrible from Sarfaraz . . It is your job to run full tilt . . He just strolled the first 2. . poor professionalism!

 

[Chief Destroyer]

That is what poor fitness does.Sarfaraz is run out.

Poor running, that should have been three. What are all these fitness tests for ?

That was easy 3 runs.

Poor fitness does that so captain can blame himself.

More athleticism than fitness, he's just slow.

 

[Abdullah]

Awful runningÃ*

 

[Zeshan547]

It's all down to Malik,,, And he is a known bottler,,,

 

[Markhor]

Okay need a couple of big overs after that.

 

[ads101]

That's the funny thing. Sarfraz relies so much on picking up singles in his game, yet he isn't the right fitness to do it. Usually the fatter/less fit players rely more on boundaries than running haha.

Really unfortunate, we were ahead before that.

 

[Shafi]

Tha't the difference between a good team and an average team. Our players cannot rise under pressure. Australia has such a fighting attitude.

 

[daytrader]

Too slow on the first run, the 3rd wasn't on

 

[Khan12]

After playing for 2 decade Malik still hasn't scored against a good attack. Let's hope it's his day for our sake.

 

[daytrader]

Our fighters are yet to come, the real batting starts after the next wicket

 

[Abdullah]

More athleticism than fitness, he's just slow.

No it's mental and attitude related. It's a simple 3

 

[Asif321]

Up on Shoaib Bhai now

 

[Madplayer]

No it's mental and attitude related. It's a simple 3

He is also fat bro.

 

[Nelson on]

Clever bowling so many slower balls to frustrate

 

[imshally81]

Malik

 

[ads101]

No it's mental and attitude related. It's a simple 3

Maybe I'm alone in thinking, but I remember in the past Sarfraz was a lot quicker between the wickets.

 

[Watsupdoc]

Too many dots balls from Malik 2.0 here...

 

[Deewana Mastana]

10 balls and just 2 runs for Pakistan

this is how they actually play

 

[Khan12]

Malik playing for a draw here.

 

[90MPH]

Just go for the shots.

No time for prodding.

 

[Zeshan547]

Now they will let Required rate upto 15 than when they realize it will be all too late, how many times we have seen this all before,,, Same bloody script,,,

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Just one run off the over.

 

[Asif321]

Sarfraz was looking very good it was looking he gona do something special

 

[Markhor]

Geez these last three overs are killing us.

 

[Mueez]

Shot!

 

[daytrader]

Malik waiting for the spinners

 

[Kohli The King of Chase]

Poor Fakhar, Malik putting pressure on him.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Six by Fakhar on Stoinis' first ball followed by a four on the second.

 

[Zeshan547]

Its fakhar or bust right now,,,

 

[Asif321]

If anyone can Fakhar can

 

[Mueez]

Sarfraz was looking very good it was looking he gona do something special

This, he was very positive but luck didn't favour him....

 

[Madplayer]

I think Fakhar is the most valuable player in t20s for Pakistan. In ODIs he is the most impactful, more than Babar or anyone else.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Fakhar

 

[ads101]

Dunno what it is but when Fakhar strikes boundaries he reminds me a lot of Razzaq. Not sure that's a good thing or not, but both of them consistently hit big.

 

[DRsohail]

Sarfraz was looking very good it was looking he gona do something special

yes he did very special thing.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Missed opportunity

 

[Mueez]

Dunno what it is but when Fakhar strikes boundaries he reminds me a lot of Razzaq. Not sure that's a good thing or not, but both of them consistently hit big.

Razzaq was a good hitter of the ball

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Does anyone know if Babar is with the team? Will he be there for the ODI's?

 

[Madplayer]

Dunno what it is but when Fakhar strikes boundaries he reminds me a lot of Razzaq. Not sure that's a good thing or not, but both of them consistently hit big.

What do you mean? Obviously its a good thing if he hits it like Razzaq.

 

[Mainul]

Pakistan is doing a Misbah here.Let the run rate climb to 12 then go for it.

 

[Khan12]

Sarfraz was looking very good it was looking he gona do something special

He nearly edged half a dozen of times. Though his intent was good.

 

[imshally81]

Finally... Run from malikz bat...

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Hopefully Malik does not take a single on the last ball of the over..

He goes and does just that lol

 

[Khan12]

Does anyone know if Babar is with the team? Will he be there for the ODI's?

Yes he will be there for the odis thankfully.

 

[Mainul]

And then collapse....

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Does anyone know if Babar is with the team? Will he be there for the ODI's?

Yes he is in the ODI squad

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

The only positive being that Pakistan bat long. Even Hasan can hit a few.

 

[Zeshan547]

Need 20 in next 2, than 100 in last 10 is very doable with 7 wickets in hand,,, iA

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Yes he is in the ODI squad

Great.

That will be a good chance for him to score at the least 4 centuries and surpass Hafeez's 100 tally.

 

[daytrader]

Malik should milk Maxi here

 

[imshally81]

Feel bad for Farhan..

 

[Abdullah]

Malik needs to hit 2 sixes in this over

 

[chinaman00]

Dunno what it is but when Fakhar strikes boundaries he reminds me a lot of Razzaq. Not sure that's a good thing or not, but both of them consistently hit big.

Fakhr is a consistent performer. Razzaq used to show up once in a blue moon.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Malik doing all he can to slow down the road

 

[Khan12]

Why is Malik not taking on Maxwell.

 

[ads101]

Hopefully Malik does not take a single on the last ball of the over..

He goes and does just that lol

Looked scared as hell hitting that run lol, when the fielders were shouting catch. At least he got himself off the mark though. Malik's been real poor so far.

 

[imshally81]

 

[Mueez]

Fakhar showing how it's done!

 

[MenInG]

Fakhar showing how it's done!

Pls reply to my PM

 

[Zeshan547]

we need just one Boundary per over, But make sure no dots,,,

 

[90MPH]

Malik is another bunny against pace.

 

[ads101]

Fakhr is a consistent performer. Razzaq used to show up once in a blue moon.

Why I said not sure a good thing lol. They did both consistently hit boundaries though, even though Razzaq would often get out one boundary and done. While Fakhar adds more runs in between, and bigger scores.

 

[Mueez]

Pls reply to my PM

Yes I will do it soon.

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Fakhar being our Finch.

Now we need someone to be Short and stay till the end.

 

[Shafi]

Winning his match would give Micky more authority more power to drop some TTFs from the team and stop so-called formers and media to support those players.
Now it will be hard to get rid of Hafeez, Nawaz

 

[Kohli The King of Chase]

Send Asif, Faheem and Shadab

 

[shariqnoor]

Malik is having a seriously off-day here.

 

[Mainul]

If Fakhar does a Fakhar by getting out after 45 or 50 it will seriously hurt Pakistan.

 

[Markhor]

Malik needs to get a move on. Cannot afford SRs less than 140.

 

[Mainul]

Shoib don't look confident.consuming dots.

 

[ads101]

Really hate how Malik plays against pace early on. Lots of 'smart shots' and cuts trying to grab a risk free run here and there. But is afraid to take it head on. Usually that changes once he gets himself in though.

 

[Mainul]

It's not acceptable..
8(13)..

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Pakistan will find it hard to get 100 in the last 10

 

[Madplayer]

What the heck is shoaib doing? Waiting for spinner?

 

[Mainul]

RR is nearing 11
