BCB XI vs Pakistanis | BCB XI beat Pakistan by 1 wicket

Ajmal won't be able to dart with his new action. There lies the problem.
 
Ajmal getting a beating.

TBH, most of us predicted this. There is a reason you go around bowling at 40 degrees when you can easily work inside the limit of 15.

BAtting for 1st ODI

Hafeez
Azhar
Harris
Fawad
Sarfraz
Rizwan ( I hate to Try him at 6 but there is no spot available in top 5)
Saad Nasim
Wahab
Ajmal
Junaid
Rahat

When Hafeez is allowed to bowl again and given the CT is in Engalnd, I would get a proper opener in instead of Nasim (Hafeez Fawad and Haris can share 5th bolwer duties) Hafeez can bat lower down the order. Rizwan would be replaced by Maqsood

Team would look like this

1 Shehzad/Babar/Sami
2 Azhar
3 Haris
4 Fawad
5 Sarfaraz
6 Hafeez
7 Maqsood
8 Amir
9 Wahab
10 Junaid
11 Rahat/Spinner/Hammad- depending on conditions (and Hammads comeback)

Focus should be on batting 50 overs (as we have struggled to do that for ages consistently. That means Azhar is allowed to bat at 70 SR basically.
Aim to be 35-0 after 10 and start from there.
We have to remember bowling is the forte, so do not expect too much (relatively) from our batters
 
Here we go.
Ajmal gets Liton just when talks of him being thrashed and of Litun being a sound player started.
 
And demise of Ajmal is greatly exaggerated

Ajmal gets the poster boy, not sure if Liton was doing an Umar style brain **** or was it a good ball...

Bang on track to get bundled well under 200.
 
Oh look, Ajmal picked up a wicket. Thus proving his detractors wrong.
 
Most people on this forum are too hasty.

Todays performance means very little in the grand scheme of things- it is just a work out

But but where will technique bat?
Knowing how dumb Waqar is he will play Ehsan Parxhi Adil over JK...right arm bowler
Click to expand...

I dont mind any of Rahat or Ehsan, both are work in progress and Ehsan isnt as bad as people are making him out to be

Asad will probably play ahead of Rizwan
 
mediocre Rahat got spanked :facepalm: and Junaid the bowler who was not even eligible to make the ODI squad the best bowler
 
If it was LBW or directly hitting wickets then fair enough but it was a catch. No far nothing special from Ajmal.

He wicked a wicket vs the mighty BCB XI. A wicket we have no idea of how it came.

Ajmal is back guys. :yahoo

So if he gets hit its the end of him but if he gets a wicket than it's against the mighty bcb.

So basically you're gonna criticise him either way. Nice to know you have the mental capacity of a 10 year old.
Congrats

Rahat is not good enough for ODI cricket. I have been saying it from the start. He can be a decent third option in tests though (until Amir comes back).
 
Ajmal gets hit for two fours= he's finished
Rahat goes at less than a run a ball= he's spanked.

Mods can we introduce a minimum age of 18 to post on this board

Yet he was superb throughout the World Cup. Well done on saying it, you have already been proved wrong

He is done. If you cant see the fact, I cant help you.

There is a reason he was bowling at over 40 degrees when he could easily have bowled under 15.
 
Terrific spell by Junaid Khan on his comeback so far.. 4-2-7-1
And Fawad Alam innings and scorecard look resembled much like Bevan's or M Hussey's some innings!
 
Pakistan is the best team in the world for the under-18 PPers.
 
If Ajmal does well on this tour, it will be a false hope. Therefore, I hope he doesn't do well because I don't like false hopes.
 
Ajmal probably got intimidated by Liton and started chucking again. Now getting some stick from Shabbir.

He can't even do well against these Bagladeshi unknows. SO you expect him to do better against Shakib, Mushi and Mahmadullah!

He wont. BD are good players of spin and Ajmal is not even 50% of the the Ajmal of 2011-2013.

To be fair, I mean no offence, but I'm actually surprised you're over 18.

Not that you're not right about that post, but the method through which you post comes off very juvenile.
 
Interesting how Azhar will get the, it was simply a warmup schtick, yet others will get the, couldn't even perform against the Bang A squad, and then of course we will get those who do perform and everyone will say again, only Bang A, doesn't count. I love PP.

I post on my phone as opposed to a laptop and prefer to be direct. I can boast of my professional credentials if you really want to but I don't want you to feel bad about yourself
 
It's in the bag,this match. Much damage done to Pakistan odi's in long run with Fawad and Hafeez scoring, but let's leave that for when we play the big boys.

And therein lies, once again, the juvenile response.

If you are doing well for yourself, that is great, I don't need to prove myself to people whom I will never meet on a forum. I just discuss cricket here.

There are plenty of professional forums, and of course LinkedIn if you want to boast those.

It is actually really funny reading your post again and believing that you are trying to vet maturity and yet you say that. Nice try at least?

Congrats on taking the bait. I hope for your sake you're a little more shrewd in life outside the cricket forum.

Thanks for the LinkedIn tip btw.. Highly appreciated

If HAfeez can bowl we can have an extra batsman, I dont think we need another opener ATM in ODIs

Azhar, Sarfraz, Hafeez all can open...
 
Dear fellow Pakistanis,

Was reading the earlier posts while Pakistan was batting. What is with the sissy girl fits everyone's throwing over here? FFS get a grip people. This is a new team. It takes a LOT of time to adjust as a whole, and especially adjust yourself individually knowing that a big player isn't in your team anymore (not Afridi) and you've to take on a lot more responsibilities and new roles. Many people are holding bat in Intl. for the first time. So give this team some time. Read the Waqar interview for goodness sakes and know that he is taking a positive approach and deserving players (except for 1-2) are being given time to prove themselves. I think we're very quick to jump on the gun on the new team. It's like 1 good innings and all are washed away, until 1 bad innings and the person becomes the scapegoat / villian.

And good lord, this is a tour match. No one is playing for a win here. We are playing to adjust. Yes maybe it'll be a bit disappointing if we lose but before we go bashing out skulls, kindly wait for the actual games! Thank you.

- a fed up Pakistani fan.

To many kids posting rubbish here. This is a tour game and the match has not finished even. It takes time to adjust to all conditions, hence playing a side match.
When the real matches start you will see a different pakistani team and with tv cameras on and whole nation watching they will play better.
And even in this match we can blow them away for under 150. Just calm down and dont start the funeral ceremonies.

Why doesn't Azhar bowl now after being smashed in his first over?! He was doing it in pentagular cup. Being very selfish and bowling ahead of front-line bowlers just to 'prove' he is some sort of AR.

Pathetic player in both tests and ODIs, no surprise him and his buddy Shafiq flopped this game. No idea why PCB have invested so much in these garbage batsman and not Fawad who would have had 7000-8000+ runs in both formats by now.

"Long term damage done for Pakistan with the two highest scorers in the past few years scoring run. Shafiq is a class act and will "unfortunately" get the short end of the stick, despite the fact with his great technique he has a massive gap on bat and pad, and he somehow got bold"

Prior to you saying you never brought Shafiq into this, I am juxtaposing the two because one cannot have an opinion which everyone is aware of, and yet say hypocritical statements, and not expect it to be brought up.

What is it that you think makes Shafiq a good ODI player? His technique is the most overrated thing in Pakistan cricket. What else you got? Run making ability isn't on the table. Anything else?

pathetic player in test? :facepalm:
in last 5 year, no country produced a new test player like him.
he is way way better in test,
in ODI i doubt too.

good over from Saad Nasim, his list A stats as bowler are pretty decent

yes he is genuine allrounder, who can deliver good bowling.
also fawad alam can do this thing too. but dont know our kaptaan will utilize them in international or not

Rahane?? Pujara?? Kohli?? Smith??

He is not even the best among his team (new-comers)
 
If Azhar is a pathetic Test batsman then we must have all-time greats waiting in the ranks, unable to break into the team because of him.

Nasim is not a genuine all-rounder. He is a bits and pieces cricketer.

The only genuine all-rounder we have in Pak is Hammad. Hafeez too if he can sort his action out.

Azhar is as good in tests as Shafiq is in ODIs :)

He is not pathetic, just about average. The upcoming series will prove where he stands.Though I doubt he will pass the test.
