You sure you don't want him to get out so we can get a 5 ball thriller from Razzaq?

Because you know, Fawad's not going to hit a bunch sixes all of a sudden and will score the same way he has been throughout this inning.

if he's batting with the no. 3, he should be more positive.

if he's batting with nos. 7 and 8, should look to play till the end.

not so difficult to comprehend.

as we speak :four from Fadi, nice late cut.
 
Moyo got a 40 last and Kamran too consecutive 50s, and suddenly they need their eyes tested. Pak fans never disappoint.
 
BOOM BOOM BOOM

IT A SIX
 
Ramiz Raja is such an ignorant being - he was a poor to below average cricketer himself and now has the gall to be criticising Fawad Alam's innings - one minute he's asking for patience and temperament and the next he's calling for sixes and fours - if it wasn't for Fawad's current innings, the boys would have been fielding a long time ago!!!
 
When Afridi is hitting , Fawad should just play his tuk tuk shots because we have to bat out the 50 overs . Only have Razzaq with some batting abilities
 
Asad scored at 68SR
Umar scored at 70SR (14 runs)
Fawad scoring at 65SR (and he's still there with the highest score)

There is no pleasing some people

Fawad doesn't play pretty, but he is effective. If you can't appreciate that during a collapse, then I don't know what to say.

Lets not use stats to give a wrong picture.

When Asad Shafiq gets out:
Asad Shafiq: 40 runs off 59 balls; 68 Strike Rate
Fawad Alam: 27 runs off 49 balls; 55 Strike Rate
Difference: 13

When Umar Akmal gets out:
Umar Akmal: 14 runs off 20 balls; 70 Strike Rate
Fawad Alam: 39 runs off 62 balls; 63 Strike Rate
Difference: 7

Btw, I have supported Fawad Alam inclusion in Tests and ODIs but in this case I am right that both Asad Shaifq and Umar Akmal feels a lot more pressure because their batting partner was not playing as fast as they would have liked.
 
:four

outstanding shot from Shahid, backs away and cracked thru extra cover.
 
:out

Fadi gone, scooped to short cover, bad time to lose a wicket.
 
was chance for a century there. Dont get why he was moving a foot away from leg stump
 
Asad Shafiq and Fawad Alam tame ways to get out at the wrong time. Just when Boom Boom was warming up
 
If Razzaq gets out.. by chance...

Gul and Akhtar will play the Power Play :26:
 
Another wicket handed in plate :(.. why don't we make Eng bowlers work for wickets rather then handing over to them :pissed:
 
The danger is that we still have 11 overs to go, either one of afridi or razzaq go quickly, and were in danger of not playing our overs out, which is a cardinal sin
 
hahahha: afridi playing for 13 years still didn't learn to drag the bat when reaching the crease.
