England v Pakistan | 1st ODI | Southampton | Aug 24, 2016 | Pakistan Innings

[Faisalabadimunda]

Seems out

 

[Belawal2014]

Woke up, saw Pak elected to bat, looked up to the heavens and asked "why?"

 

[Amjid Javed]

Not out, hafeez lucky there

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Lucccky

 

[itsme]

Morgan don't take those two seriously he remove wood so early unless it's because he is coming back

 

[GreenKnightRises]

one minnow basher has already gone . now its time for the other one

 

[dauntless]

Umpire's call saved the man

 

[Syed1]

Bachat hogayi

 

[MSaad1237]

Wow lucky escape .. that looked Plumb.

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

He isn't exactly slow his domestic SR is 85 and more importantly once he gets set he usually goes on to make a big one.

Yes as I said he takes a while to get set, that will only take longer if his first few games, we can't have that with Azhar at the other end

 

[hadi123]

Both teams out of reviews now

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Thank God

 

[imshally81]

Sorry.... Umpire callz

 

[Syed1]

Both teams wasted review

 

[taqi]

18 on 36 can azhar cover these three overs dont think so

 

[#GreenRoars]

Both teams went with stupid reviews, wasted.

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Ashan Ali I would like to see


Babar's future for the time being should be middle order, no need to weaken of our few strengths

Sami takes a while to get going this stage his career.

Being stuck with Azhar you need a stroke player. We have given many chances to flawed players who play at a strike rate of 60, we might as well do the same with someone who tries to play the modern game, especially if he is your only option of that mould

You won't be helping Azhar out if you get out under 30 runs 80% of the series. It in fact puts more pressure on him.

As I said earlier: either Sharjeel improves magically or goes Gayle force. Just like how Gayle tuks anything outside of his area and makes it up by scoring quick runs in bursts.

 

[pak4life]

That looked plum how can the umpire not give that out.

 

[Abdul]

Yess! So both sides have now wasted their reviews

 

[#GreenRoars]

by Moha.

 

[Syed1]

Yar single tou leh lo. One boundary and then tuk tuk tuk tuk

 

[dauntless]

Good shot by the man

 

[Amjid Javed]

Atleast hafeez is being positive

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Mashallah Blessed playing very well

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

Why should we mould our team according to Azhar when he isn't even fit to play LOI's...if he does not get going he needs to be dropped and captaincy given to someone else.

I'd love to see him gone, but unless something changes we are stuck with him, especially with sarfraz not performing either, don't think the board want to go back to Malik

 

[Syed1]

Blessed looking not half bad

 

[imshally81]

ComeBack shot by M Hafeez....

 

[shah_1]

Hafeez showing his class

 

[ExplicitAI]

That was a close review

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pakistan 45/1 after 10 overs,pretty mediocre start this

 

[marlonbrowndo]

What a shot. We need Hafeez in ODIs for now

 

[Belawal2014]

Playing with angled bat. Mashallah.

 

[troodon]

For all the hate Hafeez receives, he is the best ODI batsman in Pakistan.

 

[ExplicitAI]

whippy

 

[JibranAnsari]

Lol..what are we going to do with azhar?

 

[shah_1]

I'd love to see him gone, but unless something changes we are stuck with him, especially with sarfraz not performing either, don't think the board want to go back to Malik

Hafeez

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

That looked plum how can the umpire not give that out.

Why are you unhappy dost?

 

[Naim]

root

 

[QalandarFan]

45/1 after 10!

Could've been worse.

 

[MMHS]

MoHa actually makes the team on merit; not sure about No. 3, but there is not much options left, even without his bowling, with Umar in remand & Haris in hospital.

 

[imshally81]

10 overs.... 1 down and 45 Runs....
Not a bad start....

 

[JibranAnsari]

Azhar replaced hafeez as test opener , high time hafeez replaces azhar as odi opener.

 

[Syed1]

Azhar Ali Root ko tou maar

 

[shah_1]

smash root

 

[itsme]

Hafeez os going to slog at root

 

[Syed1]

Root nahi hogaya Murali hogaya

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

They gotta look to rotate the strike. 300 is par on here

 

[troodon]

Smash root out of the attack.

 

[shah_1]

Azhar replaced hafeez as test opener , high time hafeez replaces azhar as odi opener.

Look at Hafeez numbers at 3

 

[Syed1]

2 singles off 5 balls from part timer

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

Hafeez

Similar issue there, board was annoyed when he resigned last time, place is also far from guaranteed when he isn't bowling


I personally wouldn't mind him and think he has he sent bit of a rope in Odis due to his recent performances, but I don't think that's a view held with the people that matter.

What I do know from the horses mouth is that professor would take the capitancy despite what he says in public

 

[Syed1]

Just 3 off the over

 

[the Great Khan]

The longer he plays the worst it will be for us

not if he anchors the innings. The rest are pretty poor players in general so we need someone like him to stay there and keep things ticking over which he will do..I wont rely on legend malik and professor sahib

 

[MMHS]

This is absolute gem from Morgan - he summed up PAK team perfectly. MoHa is as selfish player as it comes while Azhar is there to do Captaincy, so it's best time to roll few overs with Root.

 

[pakpukhtun]

azhar ali boils my blood..at least shehzad tries to hit

 

[Zeshan547]

Wow we smashed root murli for three mighty runs, keep it up guys

 

[QalandarFan]

3 runs off a part time bowlers over! Pathetic!

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Can't let Root just bowl...

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

I am pretty sure Azhar doesn't know we're playing an ODI here.....

 

[Syed1]

Azhar Ali not letting us feel Shehzad's absence

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

azhar ali boils my blood..at least shehzad tries to hit

He has his limitations now. That's the max he can do. Thank Misbah and Shehryar for this.

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

not if he anchors the innings. The rest are pretty poor players in general so we need someone like him to stay there and keep things ticking over which he will do..I wont rely on legend malik and professor sahib

Anchoring an innings at this day and age is finishing with a strike rate of a 100

It will be hard for Azhar to get to even 80 sr

 

[Syed1]

Khuda ko maan yar

 

[itsme]

Not sure what is better azhar block and leave or shezad straight to fielder shot

 

[Belawal2014]

[MENTION=139288]Abdul[/MENTION] any words for Azhar Ali's batting?

 

[troodon]

Azhar Ali giving nice fielding practice.

Nice sound of the bat. Straight to fielders.

 

[shah_1]

pathetic from Azhar

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

Azhar Ali not letting us feel Shehzad's absence

Lol just wait till he has to set the fields and rotate the bowlers, even worse in that field

 

[Rana]

Azhar Ali is a very frustrating batsman

 

[taqi]

can azhar get out without wasting more balls or he needs to get going and score run a ball big score

 

[Syed1]

Lol again Azhar gets boundary off edge

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Please yaar Azhar

 

[QalandarFan]

Finally four!!

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Another drop. And England are doing well to avoid Azhar's wicket

 

[itsme]

not if he anchors the innings. The rest are pretty poor players in general so we need someone like him to stay there and keep things ticking over which he will do..I wont rely on legend malik and professor sahib

20 in 40 balls with two lucky boundaries and he is ticking over for you lmao.

 

[Zeshan547]

Another for by azhar the aggressor. take that

 

[Syed1]

5 dots and a boundary off edge. That is our captain gents Mashallah nazar na lagay

 

[ExplicitAI]

SR improved by a tiny bit

 

[Abdul]

[MENTION=139288]Abdul[/MENTION] any words for Azhar Ali's batting?

Playing too slow at the moment.

 

[itsme]

Azhar best scoring shot whatta legend
