Bangladesh vs Pakistan | 3rd ODI | Dhaka | 22nd April | Pakistan Innings

[JibranAnsari]

Fawad to score a 30 ball 20.

 

[hussain.r97]

By the look of of things, we aren't even getting to 270. Fawad can't hit to save his life, will get bogged down and get out in any case. Nasim isn't really a hitter either, more of a grafter who can sometimes hit the spinners. Probably won't last anyway. Are we up for another Wahab special?

 

[Da_Future_Knick]

Cmonnnn Saad take us to 275 +

 

[angrypathan]

dropped?

 

[desi_launda]

Fawad is very overrated

 

[TheNightWatchman]

"I know how to hit sixes too--in my dreams"

 

[Da_Future_Knick]

Pakistan has to play all 50 overs

 

[AccidentallyOnPurpose]

Cant all factions of Pakistani batting click just for once

 

[saajidrox]

Waqar never is flexible with changing the batting lineup. This is the main reason Pakistan haven't been able utilise good situations and even without changing the line up still getting bowled out under 50 overs

Like I said before all being played according to the same script "been there done that" now the race to bat 50 overs pathetic after a lovely start

 

[Pete Rose]

Fawad is very overrated

Not by any serious watchers on the forum.

 

[Abdullah]

I'm fine with Haris- sure he needs to learn, but the guy is consistently getting 40 off 50 and looks rarely troubled at the crease.
Got to stick with him.

So far from this series we have learnt the following about our batting order

1. Azhar
2
3. Haris

These 2 hav eshown that they can bat most of the overs at 5 an over in the middle upto 35 over mark which didn't even happen in the Misbah days
4,5,6,7 I would go with Fawad Sarfaraz Hafeez Rizwan/Maxi for a bit longer

Babar/Sami as the openers
Wahab/Amr at 8 and 9

 

[Da_Future_Knick]

Pakistan is wasting Fawad at 6

 

[Cricketfan no 1]

"I know how to hit sixes too--in my dreams"

how many sixes azhar ali hit?

 

[junaid.ahmed]

so our inherit disease start catching us

 

[speed]

Fawad is out of his depth here.

 

[RamLakhan]

Pakistan have lost their way
Bangladesh are capable of chasing 270

 

[Pete Rose]

cricket needs a mascot. I nominate fawad alam as Pakistan's.

 

[speed]

We need maqsood back in place of fawad.

 

[Bilal7]

Rizwan is a poor player of spin bowling

Puh-leeze. He got out looking for quick runs, he's excellent against the spinners and he showed that in the first game.

 

[Logical]

Who said there will be no entertainment ?

 

[Abdullah]

Its a bit dumb playing Fawad this low down.

Guy is perfect for a #3 or maybe #4 role, but he's not a finisher and never will be.

Not really fair for him to be expected to go berserk when he isnt that kind of player

Agree- should be number 4 with Sarafaraz 5 Hafeez 6 and Maqsood or Rizwan 7
Top 3 look promising for me

 

[angrypathan]

 

[desi_launda]

 

[Markhor]

Missing Sarfraz in the lower order here.

 

[LegbreakGoogly]

Fawad failing again. . ,

 

[Pete Rose]

I'm fine with Haris- sure he needs to learn, but the guy is consistently getting 40 off 50 and looks rarely troubled at the crease.
Got to stick with him.

So far from this series we have learnt the following about our batting order

Babar/Sami as the openers
Wahab/Amr at 8 and 9

Why would be fine with a player who throws it away after a 50. Bring back shahzad.

 

[10sion]

Chaa gaya Nasim.

 

[Da_Future_Knick]

Great shot from Saad

 

[Bilal7]

Fawad and Saad need to be replaced by Maqsood and Akmal and we'll have some explosiveness in the lower order.

 

[Little Master]

Puh-leeze. He got out looking for quick runs, he's excellent against the spinners and he showed that in the first game.

It was a soft dismissal, so wouldn't really call it looking for quick runs.

 

[Pete Rose]

Agree- should be number 4 with Sarafaraz 5 Hafeez 6 and Maqsood or Rizwan 7
Top 3 look promising for me

Rubbish. Clearly we don't need him in the top 4 as shown today.

 

[angrypathan]

Why would be fine with a player who throws it away after a 50. Bring back shahzad.

Shehzad wasn't dropped for performance issues

 

[The_KING]

What are you doing Saad?

 

[JibranAnsari]

The team combination isnt right. Azhar haris hafeez and fawad in the same lineup.

 

[junaid.ahmed]

no matter how much saad scores, he do not have ODI standard

 

[Shafi]

Lack of planning by our batsmen!! All the hard work of Sami, Azhar and Haris in vein. We are weaker than NZ in spin.

 

[Logical]

Saad

 

[Da_Future_Knick]

Tight bowling from Shakib but Saad needs to rotate

 

[junaid.ahmed]

The team combination isnt right. Azhar haris hafeez and fawad in the same lineup.

add saad who is in the same class too

 

[saeedhk]

Take singles.

 

[angrypathan]

He's out

 

[desi_launda]

 

[Abdullah]

How can people call 52 off 58 in an ODI in the middle of an innings as selfish?!?!

 

[10sion]

Oh Fawad!

OUT!

 

[The_KING]

Thank you Waqar for ruining Fawad's comeback

 

[Pete Rose]

Shehzad wasn't dropped for performance issues

Well of course we can cling to whatever narrative we require. I would suggest a full reading of what the chief selector has said.

 

[Markhor]

Utter rubbish from Fawad Alam.

 

[Da_Future_Knick]

Fawad is gone

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Poor Fawad. Will become the scapegoat next series

 

[JibranAnsari]

Saad nasim isnt a number 7 or 8. He doesnt have a power game.

 

[Amjid Javed]

7 overs left and we need to be scoring at 10 an over from here, the lack of a power hitter down the order is hurting us here unless wahab comes in and tees off!

 

[Bilal7]

It was a soft dismissal, so wouldn't really call it looking for quick runs.

Wouldn't have played that shot if he wasn't batting at the death, IMO.

 

[Logical]

What kind of shot was that )

 

[arehaan]

This should be the end of Fawad Alam for sure he isn't cut for no 6

 

[TheNightWatchman]

how many sixes azhar ali hit?

Less but I do know Azhar has hit as many 4s as Fawad in half the number of matches. He tries to hit a 6 and he gets caught at the boundary

 

[saajidrox]

Fawad alam
Man oh man this guy is killing himself self awareness zero

 

[Bullet Drive]

End of his career.

 

[Stallion__]

Goodbye Fadi

 

[Suleiman]

Would take Umar Akmal > Fawad Alam at 6 any day of the week. Fawad can't hit out to save his life.

 

[junaid.ahmed]

just shame

 

[Amjid Javed]

Thats Fawads ODI career over for a while, i back him but hes rubbish and time to be dropped.

 

[Da_Future_Knick]

If Hafeez can consistently bowl 10 overs Pakistan will benefit alot

 

[speed]

End of fawad alams odi career.

 

[jog_1]

We need another 50+ cameo from Wahab inshAllah

 

[Alamgeer]

This should be the end of Fawad Alam for sure he isn't cut for no 6

He is not cut for cricket.

 

[Shafi]

Another wicket!!! Fawad needs to be dropped. We will not play full 50 overs against Bangladesh team. Should learn from India how their C grade team can beat Bangladesh

 

[10sion]

Show these guys how to bat Wahab!

 

[Amjid Javed]

We struggle to make 260-70 or even bat the whole inns ffs

 

[Pete Rose]

How can people call 52 off 58 in an ODI in the middle of an innings as selfish?!?!

Give me your crayons so I can draw it out for you.
He just saw his captain dismissed, he was the senior player in the partnership, and his first high risk slog comes duly after his 50.

 

[chill79]

No more supporting Fawad. if he can't hit big atleast play some drives, create some scoring shots. Rubbish.

 

[Da_Future_Knick]

Need a half century from one of these two

 

[arehaan]

What a waste of space.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Pakistan needs someone like Hammad in the lower order for such situations

 

[TheNightWatchman]

Fawad is 30. He can't hit sixes...What kind of batsman can't hit sixes??

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Thank you Waqar for ruining Fawad's comeback

He failed 3 times in a row. How is that anybody's fault but his own?

 

[AccidentallyOnPurpose]

another fifty by Wahab

 

[Bilal7]

Poor Fawad. Will become the scapegoat next series

He's the weak link. Rizwan and Sohail look better players at the top while Maqsood, Akmal and Sarfaraz are better players in the lower order.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Good riddance.

And those saying that poor fawad will be made scapegoat.. he has batted poorly in the series.. cant middle the ball at all and deserves to be dropped. He is not young and has played for pakistan before so cant be treated as a debutant.


Good bye fawad.

 

[Abdullah]

Can not blame fawad- should be batting at number 4 and not be coming in to bat at over number 40.

Calypso collapso

 

[TheNightWatchman]

That Fawad slog was laughable
