Hafeez with a

 

[angrypathan]

Leg Spinner on, let's see how we go, haven't really done well against them of late and mishra have really troubled us

 

[Dr_Bassim]

welcome back Dr.

Thanks

 

[Justcrazy]

64 from 14 overs

 

[Shafi]

Lol I have to admire people here...

Not happy at 15-2 and not happy at 38-0

Are we playing against Aus or SA.

 

[cricfan14]

The amount of pressure on Azhar must be extraordinary - he knows what everyone's saying about him. Glad he's not been given out cheaply yet.

 

[Slog]

This is a practise match.

The whole point of it is to get comfortable and get your eye esp considering both Hafeez and Ali havent played any cricket in months.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Yeah.. !! that 15/2 was in a pitch were 70-80 should have been easily scored. right

Does that mean Fawad not going to play? Only thing I'm annoyed abt is that he's not in lineup

 

[rhony]

Azhar Gone...

 

[angrypathan]

Azhar Ali out for 27 (50)

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Yeah.. Kaptaan made up his aggressive start with 50 SR

 

[cricfan14]

Sigh. Captain is going to hear a lot of critics after this knock unfortunately.

 

[iHammad]

Wrist slitting has started already

 

[CricketAnalyst]

Modern Cricket by Pakistan team let by Azhar Ali. 38/0 in 10 overs!! Thank you PCB

I'm surprised at this kind of comment. It's a significant improvement on the usual 32/3.

I would take even 25/0 or 70/4 as Pakistan compared to what has been happening in the recent past.

 

[rhony]

Why isn't Fawad playing? Is he injured?

 

[LegbreakGoogly]

Azhal misbah Ali go0ne

 

[Ismailtoca]

Its Bangla. we ex[ect better

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Ugly innings comes to an end

 

[Asif321]

27 in 50 balls against Bangladesh A we are doomed

 

[rhony]

I agree it's his first innings after a while but 27 runs off 50 balls with 3 boundaries is just mediocre performance against a BD B team. That's 15 runs of 47 balls if you take the boundaries out!!!

Good point.. Tells you what kind of cricketing knowledge people have here.

 

[iHammad]

I fail to understand why Sami Aslam is not opening

 

[rhony]

Good point.. Tells you what kind of cricketing knowledge people have here.

Does this mean that Azhar's going to be an opener in the ODIs?

 

[iHammad]

and I also fail to understand why Asad is playing ahead of Fawad

 

[Zohaib Shah]

I think Azhar Ali just ruined his reputation as a player.

 

[LegbreakGoogly]

Cool guys , Wait little a bit , new players will take some time

 

[cricfan14]

and I also fail to understand why Asad is playing ahead of Fawad

This is the only thing that's upsetting me. If Fawad STILL doesn't get to play, I'm going to fly to Bangla and throw Asad in the ocean.

 

[LegbreakGoogly]

Hafeez is going to win this series on his own.

 

[iHammad]

Asad is listed on cricinfo to come in at #7....

 

[iHammad]

Hafeez 51 off 49, well played

 

[cricfan14]

Asad is listed on cricinfo to come in at #7....

#justiceforfawad

 

[rhony]

Good one from Hafeez. This should put everyone's mind at ease

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Run rate has up by a big margin after Kaptaan's wicket

 

[Sakss]

Does this mean that Azhar's going to be an opener in the ODIs?

I would personally have Sarfraz and Hafeez tbh... Azhar at 1 down or even 2

 

[GreenKnightRises]

I'm surprised at this kind of comment. It's a significant improvement on the usual 32/3.

I would take even 25/0 or 70/4 as Pakistan compared to what has been happening in the recent past.

Our team never had such a bad start in Bangladesh even against their premier bowlers let alone this B class trundlers. Even the likes of Farhat and Kami had glory starts against Banglas

 

[UpInTheAir]

Is Shafiq Azhar's bestie or something?

 

[Justcrazy]

90 / 1

20 overs

 

[UpInTheAir]

No idea why shafiq is playing over fawad.. Really hope this isn't the case moving forward. What does fawad have to do to get picked??

 

[angrypathan]

Is Shafiq Azhar's bestie or something?

Yeah they're good friends

 

[iHammad]

Hafeez with a huuuuuuuuuuge six, slammed over mid wicket and into the next city

 

[iHammad]

Hafeez with an amazing cover drive for four, fielder had no chance

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Azhar should make way for Shehzad next series

 

[Zeshan547]

What about the golden boy of PP, harris sohail he is only rich man Misbah or Azhar Ali but that's not saying much, he is another turtle pace player and have only one attacking shot that ugly pull toward midwicket, he gonna be found out soon, and his pretty 30s, 40s won't even worth as equal as junior because they will come at strike rate of 60 to 70, instead of 100 of junior,

 

[iHammad]

Another four from Hafeez, the leg spinner Jubair Hossain is being taken to the cleaners

 

[Belawal2014]

I'm off to bed, hope to wake up to a 100 by Harry.

 

[cricket.mad]

Did md.hafeez pass his bowling test, which was supposed to be held some time back?

 

[iHammad]

Follows the four by a SIX! Hafeez on fire! Down the track and into the stands, straight six against the leg spinner

 

[Belawal2014]

Go to bed bruh it's 1:10 AM

 

[Zohaib Shah]

I wish I coukd see this match.

How do you know where he's hitting them? Cricinfo doesn't have commentary

 

[iHammad]

How do you know where he's hitting them? Cricinfo doesn't have commentary

I am imagining

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Azhar's wicket was a great riddance, The team is cruising at the moment

 

[cricket.mad]

Has hafeez passed his bowling test? Someone pls answer..i am not finding anything abt it on net

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

Has hafeez passed his bowling test? Someone pls answer..i am not finding anything abt it on net

1 more week to wait till results.

 

[iHammad]

Has hafeez passed his bowling test? Someone pls answer..i am not finding anything abt it on net

The result is not released yet

 

[cricfan14]

I've been a big supporter of Azhar but it IS mildly annoying that he fared so average today. Obviously it's still way way too early in a game that means nothing, but I had a dream of him shutting everyone up immediately.

If it's a case of him acclimatizing, it's another screw up by PCB that he's played almost no int'l cricket recently.

 

[iHammad]

Four from Haris Sohail, beautiful cut shot against the medium pacer Muktar Ali

 

[cricket.mad]

Thanks..FTB and IHAMMAD

 

[blackanhyellow]

Has hafeez passed his bowling test? Someone pls answer..i am not finding anything abt it on net

I dont think the results have been revealed yet.

 

[iHammad]

Azhar not batting well vs BCB XI: oh what a horrible batsmen, this is domestic level side

Hafeez batting well: oh they are just minnows no big deal

 

[LegbreakGoogly]

Nice going pakistan

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

Four from Haris Sohail, beautiful cut shot against the medium pacer Muktar Ali

It was a straight drive wasn't it?

 

[blackanhyellow]

wow 27 from from 50 balls against this bowling attack?

 

[Justcrazy]

120 / 1

Slow batting here .

 

[Asif321]

Hafeez batting like shaheen

 

[kingusama92]

Guys, it's just one match (and that to a practice one).

He could just as easily come into the next game and smash a century off 30 balls.

Everyone needs to calm down.

 

[angrypathan]

120 / 1

Slow batting here .

rr of 6.6 ...

 

[iHammad]

Haris Sohail with a six!

 

[angrypathan]

120 / 1

Slow batting here .

wait sorry my bad, cricinfo is messing up the overs and run rate

 

[iHammad]

Ok cricinfo is on drugs now

 

[Logical]

Why so much interest over a warm up game ?

 

[Zeshan547]

Harry is also not as good as we make him to be, can't have career strike rate of even 80 i guess, which is minimum for current day middle order batsman, so he won't cut into great batsman list, very good at best.

 

[TheNightWatchman]

Azhar Ali scores 27 of 50 on a track where Hafeez looks like Bradman

 

[TheNightWatchman]

Why so much interest over a warm up game ?

Because we want to see the "new and improved" Pakistan......so far it looks EXACTLY the same

 

[Shafi]

It was a straight drive wasn't it?

Where I can see player's score? Cricinfo is not showing

 

[angrypathan]

Haris Sohail out for 23

 

[angrypathan]

Sami Aslam in, this will be interesting

 

[iHammad]

Haris is gone, Sami Aslam in next

Cricinfo's overs are still messed up, Pak 130/2 and number of overs are either 20.2 or 25.2 ...nobody knows

 

[zabalestmsm]

Azhar cant do another Misbah. Misbah was special in a way. Kudos to Hafeez for the ideal flying start.
