[Titan24]

Shot Imam

 

[AdamM97]

Oh Fakhar.....

 

[Afhan Ali]

Hack is gone

 

[Gullycricket]

Shot Imam

 

[Omer2002]

everybody moans about Imam etc and his strike rates which is true ..but he is the one gives you a start not a hack like fakhar and asif...to have both in a ONE day team is beyond me

 

[nextover666666]

Fakhar has gotten out In the same fashion so many times he needs to learn

 

[Afhan Ali]

Ball on 4th stump and hack is back to pavilion

 

[AdamM97]

Fakhar always gets out in slip, has anyone noticed that.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Not when Pak are batting

Pakistan scored 360 last game.

 

[Zeshan547]

imam 9 of 4, now I have seen it all, take that haters.

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Fakhar was trying to keep bat as straight as possible which he doesn't do usually.

 

[MMHS]

Irrespective of chance his innings against India was a match winning one in CT17

That was his best game, this was best innings - that too batting 2nd.

 

[jadaja]

I am suprised some people want a hack like Fakhar to be captain.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Ball on 4th stump and hack is back to pavilion

These kind of posts bring down the quality of discussion on this forum.

 

[AdamM97]

Too early but if Imam plays well today i’ll be happy with the opening pair.

 

[Asif321]

I think pakistan has made mind Hasnain wil play WC
They will see Junaid and Faheem for 3 games if one of them fails Amir comes in
Asif also needs to perform little more to take Abid out of team

 

[Afhan Ali]

[MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] was right
Ball on 4th and 5th stump and Fakhar will be a goner

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Pakistan scored 360 last game.

They were forced to chase a big score, when they are setting they would probably settle for 280.

 

[saeedhk]

Inzi praying Imam and Faheem to score.

 

[AdamM97]

They were forced to chase a big score, when they are setting they would probably settle for 280.

Let’s hope for at least 300.

 

[Zeshan547]

Willy has amazing wrist position, wish Amir had such control, on side note umpires have been too lenient with Poms when it comes to calling off side wides, it may costed us even the previous match.

Faheem will go out.

 

[AdamM97]

Uhh just realized that faheem is playing.

 

[Pete Rose]

Fakhar always gets out in slip, has anyone noticed that.

Shocker that a left handed opener goes like that

 

[saeedhk]

How much more can Faheem fail? He’s failed since his debut, except against minnows. This guy is total crap. Better play with 10 players.

 

[Afhan Ali]

Imam looking very good at the crease

 

[szundercover]

Fakhar should learn from morgan and bairstow who had similar batting techniques but both of them tweaked it a little and this will come with playing more matches so with more experience his technique will improve automatically.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Let’s hope for at least 300.

If that happens I will stop criticising Pakistan's defensive approach when setting targets. Although most good sides these days would be looking for 320 on a batting pitch, but I am prepared to give Pakistan some leeway.

 

[saeedhk]

Faheem will go out.

But he has swag. Mickey and Inzi love that.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

I think they can and should set around 320 at the very least on flat wickets. That would give the bowling attack a chance to defend the score. Anything less and, on these sort of wickets, no bowling attack can defend.

 

[AdamM97]

Uhh just realized that faheem is playing.

But he has swag. Mickey and Inzi love that.

Lol

 

[Gullycricket]

This is why its important to leave balls.But some people only look at SR

 

[Pete Rose]

Lloyd and Isha really yukking it up in the comm box

 

[Rana]

Imam 9 dot balls in a row

 

[AAli98]

Imam yet to play his bread & butter shot (edge to 3rd man)

 

[Zeshan547]

8 dots on the Trott from immi, Normal service resumed I guess.

 

[GreenKhan]

I find the mentality of some people on this forum very cringeworthy . One failure and the knives are out.

How any World is Fakhar a hack? It’s obvious he has weaknesses but to call him a hack is embarrassing, and shameful.

 

[HitWicket]

ECB should stop being stupid and give Mark wood a chance. Better to have him and beef up the bowling attack rather than include Woakes for his supposed all-round ability.

What? Woakes hasn't only been one of the best all-rounders in world cricket since the last world cup, he's also been our most effective pace bowler.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Imam

 

[ARK Rafay]

Imam 9 dot balls in a row

He just hit a four. He'll take at least 12 balls to take a single

 

[Shaddy86]

imam 9 of 4, now I have seen it all, take that haters.

Still on 9

 

[Kroll]

imam 9 of 4, now I have seen it all, take that haters.

Calm down, it's only 4 balls!

 

[Markhor]

Fakhar is the only available opener we have who can get us off to fast starts against top teams. Alternatives are the likes of Khurrum and Shehzad.

You need to back such players and accept as they play a high risk game they will sometimes frustrate. Fakhar has one of the best overall records against the top 5 from all our batsmen.

 

[Pete Rose]

Both batsmen’s feet stuck in cement to full pitched deliveries

 

[marlonbrowndo]

What a shot

 

[emranabbas]

After 10 overs we will be 40/1
Oh ye it will be sarfraz's fault

 

[Zeshan547]

who the hell drive 5th stump out swinger toward left, that ball was crying to be cover drived ala Sangakara.

 

[Gullycricket]

Wowwwwww

 

[Kroll]

Still on 9

Some speak too soon

 

[saeedhk]

Imam realized he’s scoring very quickly so he had to slow it down. Back to normal service.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

He’s our best limited overs batsman. People are so dumb. I would like to pair him up with sharjeel though. You need 2 destructive openers

 

[Rana]

Babar should make a ton here

 

[BreadPakoda]

Babar is ridiculously talented. What a shot.

 

[saeedhk]

Imam doesn’t have any shots. Extremely one dimensional

 

[AdamM97]

Spot on, people don’t realize that. If Imam becomes more consistent, that is a very good opening pair.

 

[Kroll]

Yes Babar needs to turn these soft 40s and 50s to big hundreds to cement his place on the top tier of batsmen.

 

[Rana]

Gun pull shot!

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Great pull shot

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Two fantastic shots from Babar showing the difference in class between him and the rest of the batting line up.

 

[AdamM97]

It’s only been 4.3 overs and people are already making predictions. Lol, calm down.

 

[Rana]

Stokes lol

 

[ARK Rafay]

Woakes shown his 'auqat' with that pull shot

 

[Gullycricket]

Shot Cracking

 

[Markhor]

Nailed. Beautiful sound off the bat.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Game over.

 

[Gullycricket]

Lol

 

[Rana]

Wow! Babar gone

 

[Zeshan547]

Sad to see babar is more of Amla than Kohli, More Style than substance, the ever so near man, Not the one take you home, hope he proves me wrong today. Otherwise all his talent will be of no use to team in grand scheme of things.

 

[x_KINGKHAN_x]

Woakes getting phainty

 

[Hitman]

Babar bowled.

 

[AdamM97]

Gifted 4 runs!

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

That was a beauty to be fair.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Lol

 

[Markhor]

Seriously fast outfield.

Compare this to the trash UAE grounds.

 

[Gullycricket]

Noooooo

 

[Afhan Ali]

Now blame Imam for both these dismissal

 

[Pete Rose]

Going to be a difficult day

 

[ARK Rafay]

Yes Babar needs to turn these soft 40s and 50s to big hundreds to cement his place on the top tier of batsmen.

Since the start of this year. Babar has looked a different beast all together. His power game has improved.

He has start scoring runs in T20s but not so much in ODIs

 

[Hitman]

Woakes shown his 'auqat' with that pull shot

Now Wakoes has shown his aukaad in return.

 

[Rana]

Huge wicket, out of the blue. Now Imam has every right to bat at a snails pace on a hot summers day on a low bounce track
