England v Pakistan | 2015 World Cup | Warm-up Match | 11th Feb 2015 | Sydney | Pakistan Innings

[Strike Rate]

Seems about time for another golden age of pakistani batting thread

but but if we win this one it means we won both of our warmup games we didn't collapse against zimbo


i am just kidding please dont mentioned that pm 11 again lol

 

[Pete Rose]

I think he's scored a century in a warm up/tour game before

Oh ok, would still be good to see a century in colored clothes from him on live TV.

 

[Robert]

Misbah is a sort of modern day Miandad, at his bets under pressure.

 

[uberkoen]

Nervous 90's for Misbah?

 

[#GreenRoars]

Anyone remember Junior coming down the crease and hitting Morne Morkel for a straight SIX that was pure timing no effort at all i think that was the best SIX of his career.

Yes that was, cracking sound of the wood

 

[Big Mac]

And because he's usually positioned to bat at #7

#6 is not #7 and his batting record as a keeper is better than when he's playing as a specialist batsman. He can't deal with the pressure of being a specialist batsman.

 

[Sam18696]

Misbah should tell Umar to calm down and use his brain

 

[Watsupdoc]

He's just swinging wildly now

 

[Hawkeye]

Against Bangladesh last world Cup

In a warmup in NZ too where everyone else failed, just recently.

 

[uberkoen]

Misbah should tell Umar to calm down and use his brain

He is telling him.

 

[adnan yasin]

46 of 39

 

[shah_1]

Umar Akmal plays too many premeditated shots

 

[Strike Rate]

Yes that was, cracking sound of the wood

That was the finest shot for a six i have ever seen.

 

[uberkoen]

In a warmup in NZ too where everyone else failed, just recently.

Misbah always performs when everyone else fails.

#legend.

 

[Hawkeye]

Misbah is a sort of modern day Miandad, at his bets under pressure.

Indeed.

 

[NZcricketfan]

but but if we win this one it means we won both of our warmup games we didn't collapse against zimbo


i am just kidding please dont mentioned that pm 11 again lol

Considering zimbabwe was one of the last teams to beat Australia and hammered sri lanka I am not too upset that we were 157/7 against them.

They also won all 3 of their practice games here

 

[Barragan]

And he keeps getting dropped because

He does generally come in with the RRR at 7+.

You know how we end up with a score of 130 by the 35th over.

 

[MarkCooper]

I know I am a bad loser but I just want to point out if he gets his first 100 it doesn't count as this match is not saved in the record books as a ODI as its 15 players a side.

 

[Mamoon]

Misbah absorbs pressure but chokes at the death, failing to provide the killer blow after all the hard work. Let's see what he does today.

 

[Ottoman]

Time to charge now. No need to take it to end.

 

[Mamoon]

I know I am a bad loser but I just want to point out if he gets his first 100 it doesn't count as this match is not saved in the record books as a ODI as its 15 players a side.

He scored a warmup hundred vs. Bangladesh prior to the 2011 World Cup.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Akmal seems so uncomfortable at the crease.

Needs to calm down.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

I wondered my whole life how Imran Nazir wasted all that talent i wish he had some smart brain cells.

I feel Imran Nazir was far talented batsman than Uakmal. He could dispatch any bowler towards anywhere his like at will, sweet timing and powerful shots with hardly any effort in it. Only if he had used his brain better

 

[Big Mac]

If Junior is going to turn down singles to keep the strike then he needs to finish the job

 

[adnan yasin]

44 in 6 overs

 

[#GreenRoars]

akmal frustrated

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Misbah absorbs pressure but chokes at the death, failing to provide the killer blow after all the hard work. Let's see what he does today.

Yep, but this time he will have enough batsmen to help him over the line with Maqsood and Afridi still to come if Akmal gets out. No excuse today.

 

[ushafi0]

Think its time for maqsood and afridi to come in

 

[yasir]

Akther "Puri Koshish Kar rahan haan out honay ki, mugar out nahieen ho pa rahain haan"

 

[Ottoman]

: from Akmal

 

[Saffer_XIII]

It seems the plan against Pakistan is to bowl short at the death. I wonder how they'll tackle that in the world cup.

 

[waleed88]

Always happens. Akmal gets out after scoring a boundary.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

and

Boom Boom time now

 

[Sam18696]

 

[JibranAnsari]

Poor stuff from akmal.

What a loser.

 

[#GreenRoars]

 

[Ottoman]

Now gone

 

[Watsupdoc]

So Akmal gone. Who will come in next? Afridi or Maqsood?

 

[Barragan]

Nicely set up by Akmal and now, time for Maqsood.

 

[Big Mac]

Crap ball, given the treatment it deserved

 

[EngrOmair]

That's the way to smoke it NZ & AUS!! Great shot Junior

 

[Sam18696]

Maqsood or Afridi?

 

[Ottoman]

Poor stuff from akmal.

What a loser.

He just scored 65 of 66.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

You know what's funny?

Only because it's Pakistani team I feel England still have a chance.... )

 

[Mamoon]

Sir Jimmy's 2 overs are going to be the key.

 

[Big Mac]

haha followed up by a stupid shot when there was no need. Just can't help the brain farts

 

[Strike Rate]

I feel Imran Nazir was far talented batsman than Uakmal. He could dispatch any bowler towards anywhere his like at will, sweet timing and powerful shots with hardly any effort in it. Only if he had used his brain better

He was a top talent no doubt about his ability to take any bowler to clearners but he had the same problem with his brain like umar akmal and sami

 

[JibranAnsari]

Maqsood in.

 

[Sam18696]

So it's Maqsood

 

[Watsupdoc]

Maqsood walks out.

 

[Strike Rate]

You know what's funny?

Only because it's Pakistani team I feel England still have a chance.... )

we lost 2 maatches in last 15-16 months lol by 1 runs yes 1 run haha

 

[adnan yasin]

stupid shot by akmal.. he just scored a boundary of the last ball....and tried the same thing again

 

[waleed88]

Jimmy isn't a great death bowler.
But Pakistan bottles to any bowler they face.

 

[Ottoman]

from Maqsood

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

thats the problem with umar ak he has the temp to throw it away out of no where

 

[#GreenRoars]

 

[Big Mac]

and he follows it up with the blind slog of a tailender, fortunate not to be out. You've just taken six off the first ball, just take a single off the next and keep the pressure on. For every moment of genius, there is a moment of idiocy and that's why he's not trusted to bat higher up the order

If Junior is going to turn down singles to keep the strike then he needs to finish the job

Heh

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Maqsood,, the destroyer, the Finisher, the Beast

 

[Barragan]

That was well played by Maqsood.

 

[shah_1]

Waqar Younis Kha twin bhai

 

[uberkoen]

Maqsood turning on the style.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

It seems the plan against Pakistan is to bowl short at the death. I wonder how they'll tackle that in the world cup.

They should be prepared for it, I'm sure other teams will have to face similar tactics. Short bowling can be punished if a batsman gets in line early enough.

 

[Suleiman]

Akmal gonna Akmal, him and Afridi are made of the same fabric, can self-destruct at any time. Give them 1 boundary and they'll want 20 more in a row.

 

[yasir]

Sir Jimmy's 2 overs are going to be the key.

He is not a death bowler, no pace, no reverse swing, no yorkers.... There is a reason despite such a good new ball bowler his avg is 30. If he had 10 clicks more pace, he could be top tier bowler.

 

[Strike Rate]

Considering zimbabwe was one of the last teams to beat Australia and hammered sri lanka I am not too upset that we were 157/7 against them.

They also won all 3 of their practice games here

practice games? zimbo played against domestic teams or associates before these warmups?

 

[adnan yasin]

Broad tried to welcome sohaib with a short pitch stuff

 

[waleed88]

What a shot!!!

 

[Mamoon]

Couple of good overs and England will be favorites. Misbah must take strike against Sir Jimmy.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

hammered it

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

are you watching on TV?

 

[ritzy_123]

1) Ahmed Shahzad
2) Sarfaraz Ahmed
3) Haris Sohail
4) Umar Akmal
5) Sohaib Maqsood
6) Misbah ul Haq
7) Shahid Afridi
8) Yasir Shah
9) Wahab Riaz
10) Sohail Khan
11) Muhammad Irfan

I'll go with this team against India

 

[#GreenRoars]

:4

 

[EngrOmair]

That was well played by Maqsood.

lately i haven't seen any Pakistani batsmen who has such control

 

[Ottoman]

Wow what a cracking hit by Maqsood

 

[Watsupdoc]

Maqsood looks in sublime form!

 

[waleed88]

What a shot by Inzy!

 

[yasir]

I like Masqood's pull

 

[NZcricketfan]

practice games? zimbo played against domestic teams or associates before these warmups?

played three games against joe blogs xi like pakistan did and won each one comfortably

 

[Mamoon]

He is not a death bowler, no pace, no reverse swing, no yorkers.... There is a reason despite such a good new ball bowler his avg is 30. If he had 10 clicks more pace, he could be top tier bowler.

He keeps it tight, which is enough for our cross-bat sloggers.

He does reverse the ball in Tests, but there isn't much reverse on offer in ODIs these days due to the 2 new balls rule.

 

[Ottoman]

Anderson Back. Time to take him to cleaners
