Balochistan [298/7] beat Sindh [279/7] by 19 runs in the Pakistan One Day Cup

Hassan Mohsin batting at 11.. Am I dreaming or what ??how cd u hv himmat at 11. For god sake he's a proper bat who cd roll over his arm frequently.. He wasn't even tried as a bowler.. I wonder why is he in the team then ??
 
Sindh require another 159 runs with 6 wickets and 17.0 overs remaining

Balochistan will win
 
Looks like hasan Mohsin will have to come out when the game will be out of reach.
 
Fawad batting slowly whereas Anwar Ali doing well. I've always rated Anwar Ali's batting but he can't play as an all rounder as his bowling is not good enough. Hoping Yamin does well and can do the job for Pakistan that Anwar Ali was expected to do.
 
can not be more disappointed at Pakistan cricket...This is dumb! How can anwar ali and nawaz bat ahead of hasan mohsin. How is he not worthy enough to bowl a single ball?

I hope someone in power sacks this board employees altogether to make place for capable people who can have some scrutiny but our culture is like this that gets represented at every level.........
 
Fawad Alam scoring runs in any odi game..makes it difficult to judge the batting contributions of everyone else in the game.

of course the selectors know better, they selected Zakir, who failed miserably today

After facing 100 balls. At this point his should be atleast 120-140 if he really had been playing for the team.

lol when Babar and Hafeez play like that it's a wonderful performance, when Fadi does it it's awful, hypocrisy at its peak
 
Looks like Sindh is going to lose this match for
Manzoor 34 (59)
Zain 5 (12)
Zakir 3 (13)

That's 42 of 84 by Top 3, covering entire PP (Zakir went at 10'4 overs). This is same across every level in PAK cricket - see through the new ball for non existent swing & seem, even in 325 per condition :(. Yesterday was same - didn't see, but Imran Butt must have been praised by Basit Alis for his high elbow, steady head ........ Unless, this is hammered into the Thick skull that March 1992 was more than 25 years back, don't think it'll improve. Middle order is the least problem - there are half a dozen players who are perfect for No. 4, 5; but none for top 3. One Babar can be accommodated in top 3, as he averages in 50s (that's why his SR it 90+ - he stays long enough; also, more or less by 25th ball his SR reaches 80+), but this MoHa, Shehzad, KAkmal, Fakar won't work. Have to think differently - may be Umar & Amin to Open & Haris at 4. Problem with MoHa is that, he is capable of a quick fire 35 of 23 in PP, but he is the most selfish player I have ever seen, which often costs even himself, because unless he plays 50 balls, he is almost like a small budget horror movie.

Fawad's inning is gold; if others contributed a bit then his team would have won

did you watch agha salman off spin bowling he can be ideal replacement for hafeez or malik
 
A classic example of how the game has changed in last 2/3 decades - by scorecard, Yamin is going to win MoM in both matches where 2 outstanding innings was played by losing side - both were absolute match winner even 15 years back; but the LO game has shifted in to more impact than volume - quick scoring, key wickets, massive lofted blows

No, I am just following scores in patches (& a little of IPL whenever possible :()

But, I knew many months back that had MoHa/Malik not been holing on to their spot, Salman would have played for PAK by now. In fact, he was one of my picks for Test team in WI & ODI team in AUS. Now WI has called 4 lefties in top 7 & you'll see the fun when 3 left-arm pacers backed by a leggi & a SLAO (or 2nd leggi) triers to beat their stretched front foot outside the off line ....... Only it's possible for PCB to pick 3 lefti pacer attack & no off spinner against a barrage of lefti batsmen on wickets that's expected to crumble from the foot mark of 3 left arm pacers.

If you tell this to Inzamam, it'll blow couple of feet above his 6'3" figure for the height of his 500 Internationals for PAK ..........

Even Viv was platinum one reason being he had gold like Grineedge/Haynes coming before him & steel like Lloyd at 4 - moral of the story is unless it's Larke Lenge style thoughts, cricket is a team game, where everyone is part of the strategy.

From scorecard, I can tell you that if I was the Manager, Sindh's top 3 had batted their last match under me ........
