Imad is joke of a player

 

[classic]

Imad is just killing the time, what a joke.

We have 20 overs left with only tail now he needs to get his eye in or this game will be finished inside 35 overs.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Wth are these 2 playing at.

 

[ExplicitAI]

Imad Wasim is pathetic down the order

 

[The Last Of The Stars]

We have 20 overs left with only tail now he needs to get his eye in or this game will be finished inside 35 overs.

This is not the era of 'get his eye in', it's not 90s anymore, one has to be aggressive right from ball one.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Why O Why is Imad blockinggg

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Why sarfraz is unnecessarily slowing down?

he cant bat freely with tailenders... showed that in tests many a times...

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Sarfraz has a chance to score a double ton

 

[Pete Rose]

Very very cowardly stuff from imad

 

[classic]

Why are they blocking Mooen!

he is better than he looks . A clever bowler who doesn't give you width .

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Imad is joke of a player

He is going to go boom boom soon

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

I wonder what Imad's thought process is? Clearly he isn't playing for his position in the team because this batting will not help his cause at all.

Scrambled mind.

 

[The Last Of The Stars]

Typical tuk tuk, leaving everything towards the end, but will lose a wicket out of no where, and we will be stuck.

It's better to start hitting now.

 

[classic]

This is not the era of 'get his eye in', it's not 90s anymore, one has to be aggressive right from ball one.

For that we need great players....

 

[Pete Rose]

If you can't rotate the strike you are not a good batsman.

 

[Sherlock]

This is just poor from Imad. I know we don't have a decent lower order but when you have a delivery to hit, hit the darn thing.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

250 will be a good score, with Wasim's advice Amir will at least take 4 wickets

 

[uzairmanzoor13]

Why block so much when you can steer it for a single. Imagine him getting out after playing so many dots? How bad that would be for the momentum of innings.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Imad looks worst than Yasir

 

[Naim]

what the hell this Imad is doing just take single man

 

[shah_1]

Nawaz should have played ahead of this lullo

 

[Rayyman]

Okay Imad... time to rotate the strike.

 

[Pete Rose]

These young batsmen, the play out 20 balls for a run, and then they will slog a few and consider their job done. No concept of transferring the pressure.

 

[QalandarFan]

Fianlly four!

 

[Naim]

imad putting pressure on sarfi

 

[The Last Of The Stars]

For that we need great players....

No player is a great straightaway, it's all about the mindset, ours are stuck in the 90s.

 

[ExplicitAI]

Man I'm not happy with our ODI team at all

 

[Aviator]

Even cricinfo commentator is trolling Imad...

 

[The Last Of The Stars]

Expect England to be bowled out under 100 on this green mamba.

 

[Pete Rose]

There is no getting your eye in. Either you are good or not. So far imad is telling Mickey Arthur thst I don't have the heart for battle.

 

[big_gamer007]

Getting bogged down seem like a wicket is close bh

 

[Sherlock]

They'll be lucky to get anywhere close to 250 the way they're batting atm. Well Imad specifically.

He's putting undue pressure on Sarfraz to get the majority of runs. Really poor.

 

[classic]

Sarfraz is playing with fire here ...Moeen Ali wants him to charge and he is falling for it .

 

[Sherlock]

Count to ten and I think you'll see Imad get out soon.

 

[Pete Rose]

For those thinking getting eye in is a good idea, it just took two tight overs from Moen and wood to dislodge Malik.

 

[Pete Rose]

Count to ten and I think you'll see Imad get out soon.

He'll get his partner out

 

[Naim]

 

[Sherlock]

Imad has thus far wasted almost 4 overs to get 7 runs

 

[#GreenRoars]

Sarfi, century bana le.

 

[The Last Of The Stars]

We need sixes, not fours.

 

[Lords]

250 i think

 

[ViciousMachine]

Wow, even an over with a boundary, we are lucky to score a pedestrian 6 from the over. We are in big trouble pending some miracle bowling.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Wasim needs to stay there till 45th over

 

[Pete Rose]

Sarfaraz should give him a rocket

 

[On_the_up]

Need strike rotation, block block hit is not the way to go in their present state.

 

[ExplicitAI]

honest trier

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Wow Pakistan were 3-2 at one stage, this is a great fightback.

 

[uberkoen]

Would all those who wanted Sarfraz to be replaced by Rizwan please come forward?

 

[classic]

My point is Moeen is bowling a tight line there is not much you can do about that. He is killing the pace off the ball and if you want to take the risk of charging him then you better have a good eye coordination.

 

[uberkoen]

Imad Wasim shouldn't be playing ODI cricket. Useless player.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Pakistan needs to score at least 70 runs from six overs of Rashid and Moeen

 

[Aviator]

Can still reach 280...If sarfraz stays...

 

[classic]

Imad has thus far wasted almost 4 overs to get 7 runs

Time is right for imad to start rotating the strike more quickly and put away bad balls .

 

[Sherlock]

Safraz goes then that score will be around 50-60 short of 280 IMO.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Even Yasir strike rotation is better than Imad.

 

[The Last Of The Stars]

On tours to South Africa, NZ and Australia, Rizwan is a must in the starting line up, even as a batsman, as he is the best player of fast bowling in our domestic cricket.

 

[Khan12]

Imad Wasim shouldn't be playing ODI cricket. Useless player.

He shouldn't be playing cricket let alone odi's

 

[big_gamer007]

My point is Moeen is bowling a tight line there is not much you can do about that. He is killing the pace off the ball and if you want to take the risk of charging him then you better have a good eye coordination.

Why do Pakistani players don't try for doubles.. You saw how Dhoni and Kohli played in T20s hit the ball in gaps with soft hands and run 2's.. Don't see any Pakistani player trying to go for 2's.. Ultimately it eases the pressure on you and results in 25 odd extra runs and less loss of wickets due to pressure..

 

[uberkoen]

He shouldn't be playing cricket let alone odi's

I'm okay with him playing domestic level stuff. Wouldn't want to harm his rozi roti, you know?

 

[The Last Of The Stars]

Sarfraz should dare to hit boundaries off fast bowlers.

I agree.

 

[Rayyman]

When can we smash Root?

 

[Cricket World]

Imad playing like proper tailender

 

[hussain.r97]

Imad

 

[Cricket World]

Aamir would have been better choice than Imad

 

[classic]

Sarfraz should dare to hit boundaries off fast bowlers.

This is where I feel we are missing a trick by not inducing Umar Akmal. He has his issues but I am sure with the right players around him I do not see why he can't improve his temperament.

 

[Rayyman]

Sarfraz has a better strike rate and higher score than Azhar last game. Even though he has batted with more pressure.

 

[Cricket World]

Height of optimism - ten an over can get us to 300

 

[QalandarFan]

Remember last time Sarfraz was close to hundred he took an eternity to get to a hundred! Even Misbah was getting restless!

 

[Pete Rose]

Everything about imad wasim's presence at the batting crease is annoying me.

 

[The Last Of The Stars]

This is where I feel we are missing a trick by not inducing Umar Akmal. He has his issues but I am sure with the right players around him I do not see why he can't improve his temperament.

He is not the same anymore, rubbish now, should invest in Rizwan instead.

 

[QalandarFan]

Imad come on man hit or get out Hasan Ali can bat better than this!

 

[Ankit007]

Good partnership by these two

 

[uberkoen]

One thing I like is the fact that we dropped some dead wood from the previous game. The likes of Hafeez and Gul. Positive signs those. Think we might be seeing the back of Imad soon as well. Good to have someone in charge who is ruthless and isn't hesitant to make the cuts when required.

 

[The Last Of The Stars]

Sarfraz shouldn't play for his century.

 

[imshally81]

Even Yasir strike rotation is better than Imad.

Spot on....

 

[Cricket World]

Problem with us
We don't select best 15
We don't select best 11 out of 15
We don't select correct batting order
If we win the toss don't make correct decision

Guys with so much wrong how are we expected to win against top sides

 

[msb314]

What is Imad doing?

Atleast TRY to rotate the strike and find the boundary...

This literally made me LOL!

Good point

 

[Belawal2014]

Pathetic Imad.
