What's new

Congrats to WI on winning 4th ODI at Multan

It was a v good delivery.. he played the delivery wrong, like Rameez said he should have not played across the line, pre-determined to an extent.

That's some comfort. At least he didn't go out looking to smash it all the way to Antartica.
doesn't matter if he was trying to smash it ANtartica or to Africa.....it wasn't a good shot but oh welll i hope he does well with the ball

Why, in 10 years he hasn't learned to play straight when the ball is new.
We need a good spinner and a replacement spinner just incase of injury, so Afridi will be there.

to be fair the guy in your avatar hasn't learnt to bowl straight either...so it works both ways!
 
Afridi seemed under pressure and he also seemed to be trying hard not to play any stupid shots.

But bad habits die hard and he ended up playing across the line as usual.

To be fair the ball was a beauty and it was just too bad it was Afridi who was facing it.

Now the debate is if he is going to get the chance in the last ODI.

In the real world He shouldn't get the chance to play the 5th ODI ,but we are talking about PCB here,so he will.

The guy in my avatar hasn't played 10 years, and he's actually performed consistently for 2 years, Afridi can't even perform for two games straight.
 
7-1, Pakistan players like Yasir are going to score a 100 ball fifty, like the last game he played in Pindi and will get droped again.
 
Zamir Haider gave a wide which wasnt a wide. Bishop suggesting that if he is going to be consitent.
 
wow guys we are going at a beastly rr of 1.7/over on a batting track that is being made to look like something out of australia.

A MIRACLE! YASIR IS OFF THE MARK
 
That was a brilliant delivery from Powell, but also a poor shot.
 
It was a decent delivery which pitched on middle and off moved out...Afridi should have played straight. He was playing across the line. so it was not an extraordinary ball
 
Hameed just wants to get a place in the team and its coming at the teams cost!
 
They are even going slow for a test match

5 runs of 23balls - Farhat
2 runs of 13balls - Hameed

more excusses like always ,to defend an ordinary player like afridi.

Try seeing the match live rather than reading crapinfo commentry. :9: Bowl swining at 88 miles is always a difficult proposition.
 
we shouldn't have batted first ... too many tentative batsmen in our team playing for their spots in the team.

There is no way we can chase any decent total without Inzy, YK and MOYO. I think batting first was a good decision.

I am watching it live ,and this is not the first time that afridi has gone in such a way....... well atleast he is consistent in one way.
 
Since the field is in for the first 15-20 over so they need to play shots over the inner cordon to relieve some pressure. Farhat is quite good at it.
 
Just sad crowd is primed to see some hitting but nothing is happening.
They are going crazy even when a single is scored.

Man this guy Hameed suck. More worried about his spot then to win the game. Played almost the entire over 28-1 after 10
 
Pakistani batsmen struggling against a very ordinary bowling attack on a very straight pitch.
 
Zamir Haider is not a good umpire. 2nd wide given which hit the pad on the way to keeper.

yup... i wonder what these lallu panjus are gonna do in SA..
 
so all you saying who is all set to go to SA...why is this excuse for a cricket opener FARHAT in the team...etter nonsense
 
Imran farhat is not a solution to our openning problems. I don't know who is but he is not for sure.
 
Yassir hameed is not even trying to play a ball outside off stump.

Thankfully our South African hopes dont rest on Farhat's shoulders.

can you guide national teams selector to a better choice? admit the fact they dont have many options at present
 
Just the start of the game today guys - dont give up hope like this.

Remember the Windies operate on the principle "if you can do something bad - we can do worst!"

Without Inzi,Younis and MoYo these are the third rate batsmen we have. Players like Farhat and Hameed are only good at fishing and have no idea how to play with a bit of touch to rotate the strike. Farhat is probably the worst left hander ever in cricket to punish legside deliveries.
 
the thing is that Pakistan lost the plot for themselves by sending afridi as an opener and made the mistake of not sending Malik @ #3 ........

its like Razzaq & co. are going out of their way to loose ... or atleast making it overly interesting!
 
Hafeez gone too.

Ok finally we are done with openners and now our middle order starts :26:

Lets hope they do better. :23:

You may be right, but if Farhat plays his natural game which is attacking, i am sure he will be much more affective.
 
Hafeez gone, our young guys just can't handle the pressure that comes with responsibility, and to think some people wanted Inzi dropped.
