Balochistan v Sindh | Pakistan Cup 2016 | Faisalabad | Apr 21, 2016 | Sindh Innings

[Canistani Hero]

If there's anything good to come out of this Pakistan Cup, I hope Fakhar, Sami, Babar, Rizwan and Hasan Ali are all part of the next ODI squad.

Way too early for the likes of Hasan Mohsin, Umair Masood, Shadab Khan, they need atleast a full season in first class circuit.

 

[Syed1]

From what I'm reading on PP, Sami is a sitting duck against decent pace. Not a quality you want for an opener. Surprising that a guy came all the way through the ranks and did splendidly in domestics yet can't play pace.

 

[IslamabadUnited]

Fawad already gone?

 

[#GreenRoars]

Sami should improve his game against pace, he needs to play with confidence and courage.

 

[Lords]

Last 5 overs, RR was 3.6. I am pretty sure i saw 200 at around 30 over mark.

they have slowed down for no reason.

2 wickets falling in quick succession is good enough reason

 

[#GreenRoars]

They wont even touch 300

 

[IslamabadUnited]

Sami so close to century.

 

[srh]

sarfraz is not made for ODIs and T20Is

 

[dhump]

They will not end with score over 300 even when Sindh was 120 in 17 overs.

 

[mango_bite7]

How many times sarfraz has to flop in limited over cricket to make people believe that he is not good enough for limited over cricket?

Not really, first still the number of total wickets is 4 and second you are not chasing. Plenty of overs left with lots of wickets in hand. Also you slow down a bit for a while, but this is a different match now.

 

[talal12345]

Why the delay?

 

[yasir]

Score was 149 in 20th over, now score is 240 in 40 overs... This is pathetic display of batting... We don't have power hitter not striker rotators... Score should have being 30/40 runs more by now [emoji84][emoji84][emoji84][emoji84]

We are pathetic on steroids country [emoji83][emoji83][emoji83]

Khalid Mehmood (on field umpire) sister died so he is leaving the field and an other umpire will take the charge now.

So far, i didn't see any power hitter, and this is horrible.

 

[Brilliance]

What has Ahsan Raza gone???

 

[Lords]

Khalid Mehmood (on field umpire) sister died so he is leaving the field and an other umpire will take the charge now.

Thats really sad. RIP.

 

[IslamabadUnited]

His sister died he left the umpire.

sarfraz is killing his own team

Seriously??

 

[IslamabadUnited]

100 for sami

 

[dauntless]

Over rate is pathetic 3and a half hour for 41 overs

 

[IslamabadUnited]

Seriously??

yes.

 

[yasir]

sarfraz is killing his own team

If only he can score as fast as he talks...

 

[asyed]

Sindh shouldve aimed to cross 330, considering the start they had.

Certainly lost the plot.

 

[yasir]

yes.

That's tragic, how she died accident? Or was ill??

 

[sunnykhan]

sarfraz is not made for ODIs and T20Is

Abhi tou aaya hai... Jazbati awaam

 

[IslamabadUnited]

I am not sure about that.

 

[Abdullah719]

One boundary in the last 10 overs.

 

[IslamabadUnited]

They are playing so slow.

 

[IslamabadUnited]

Sami Aslam should replace Shehzad!

 

[LegbreakGoogly]

Not much impressed by Sarfraz's captaincy so far. Hassan mohsan is placed at num. 11

Nope it is Hassan Khan

 

[srh]

Last 5 overs 22/0 RR 4.40

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

Last 5 overs, 23 runs. Not good enough in last 10 overs with only 4 wickets down.

 

[srh]

definitely not happy with Sami Aslam; looks another selfish player

 

[Syed1]

Thanks to captain fanstastic Sarfaraz Ahmed, killing all momentum..

 

[asyed]

Sarfraz Dhoni Ahmed, its time to change gears (same goes for Sami).

 

[IslamabadUnited]

Are hitting boundaries banned in Pakistan?

 

[srh]

Pakistanis used to point at Tendulkar as a selfish player but Pakistan has its own share of selfish players; first Ahmed Shehzad and now Sami Aslam

 

[Abdullah719]

Looks like they're aiming for 280.

Sami Aslam hits a brilliant century against Balochistan in Pakistan Cup 2016:

[asyed]

This is the biggest problem weve since the departure of Razzaq and Azhar Mahmood. Unable to find players who can push on gas pedal in last 10 overs.

 

[Syed1]

Oh no slight drizzle in the air

 

[Syed1]

Shaba Juni aek wicket tou leh yaar kam se kam warna team mein kaisay ayega

 

[yasir]

Sarfraz does not have muscle power, nor fast bat speed, nor he times the ball well, how exactly he will hit boundaries? [emoji848][emoji848][emoji848]

And now one of these two will throw wicket to further dent scoring rate.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Sarfraz is a terrible terrible finisher Ive always maintained it. Very bad hitter. He will lose us most games at the back end if rrr is above 9 I can gurantee it. Should play no lower than 5 if he really has to play ODIs

 

[Deewana Mastana]

[#GreenRoars]

Play stopped due to rain.

 

[asyed]

First 19.5/~ 20 overs yield 148 runs at the helm. And in next 25 overs, Sindh has made 118 run.

This is Pakistan cricket at you.

[fazleefridi]

Openers with decent scores so far

Sami:108*(good str.rate)
Khurram:100(superb str.rate)
Fakhar:45(run out(decent stt.rate))
Babar:41

Bad weather, storm plus rain.

 

[yasir]

Pretty much like Multan, they are close by and both had boring as hell wickets. We use to turn off the TV the moment we saw a test match in those places back in 80s/90s....

Now every match in UAE is like that, kiya zymana ayah gaya hai [emoji25][emoji25][emoji25]

 

[Brilliance]

Some people have started propaganda against Sami Aslam. They don't want to see him suceed for obvious reasons .

 

[marlonbrowndo]

I meant right now. Is it clearing

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Nothing like that. If youre gonna replace Shehzad with him I will be very happy. Its just that when Haris is fit and you have Azhar (is captain has to play), Babar, Haris and Hafeez in the team, where will you fit Sami in the top order? Any one who was watching the whole game will know he was looking very weak against pace

 

[IslamabadUnited]

It's raining.

 

[Syed1]

Now if the umps declares the innings to have ended here and start the second innings after the break, won't Sarfaraz and his side feel really dumb to be coasting at 4 rpo before the rain.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Its inability. Against pace, Sarfraz cant score fast.

 

[yasir]

Watching all these scores and some matches now, it's clear we have pretty impotent batting, there is no corruption as far as selection is concerned... No matter who you select they are all terrible...

We lack in every thing, no technique, no foot work, no muscles, no timing, no bat speed, no fitness... Pretty much every box is checked for wrong column and for everybody [emoji37][emoji37][emoji37]

In my book, this also falls in match awareness, which SA clearly lacks.

 

[asyed]

Is the rain going to stay long or it's a passing shower? Anybody?

I think Babar shouldn't play as an opener. He doesn't look comfortable as an opener. He should play at no 3 or 4. My team for Eng tourwould be:
1 Azhar.
2 Aslam.
3 Hafeez.
4 Babar.
5 Malik.
6 Sarfaraz.
7 Yamin.
8 Gohar.
9 Ehsan.
10 Amir.
11 Hassan.

Lol no FSD is way better. Weather there in the summer is pretty good compared to southern Punjab.

btw FSD is closer to lahore. Multan is quite a few hours of travelling. Lahore just a hour!

 

[dauntless]

Any updates???

 

[Zeshan547]

Still raining here and i am 20 km from stadium, but don't think we will see a restart any time soon, and it may even be a washout.

 

[UAK]

To all those people who were criticizing the team management's decision of sending Sarfraz low down the order and wasting him during the WT20 (including me), this is a shout out decision of Sarfraz to come down the order while captaining the side. He should have come up the order considering the way he plays - which is suitable to middle overs.

Hopefully he will learn from this very soon. Otherwise there is no future for him in LOIs.
