Fakhar Zaman shines with 101 as Pakistan comfortably defeat Northants by 8 wickets in tour game

[MenInG]

So Malik, Yasir didnt look too convincing, I am guessing Hafeez play today and Mohammad Amir too.

Northamptonshire Squad:Alex Wakely (c), Adam Rossington (wk), Richard Levi, Ben Curran, Joshua Cobb, Rob Keogh, Luke Procter, Nathan Buck, Jason Holder, Blessing Muzarabani, Ben Sanderson, Rob Newton, Saif Zaib

Pakistan Squad:Sarfaraz Ahmed (c & wk), Fakhar Zaman, Imam-ul-Haq, Babar Azam, Haris Sohail, Shoaib Malik, Imad Wasim, Faheem Ashraf, Hasan Ali, Yasir Shah, Shaheen Afridi, Abid Ali, Asif Ali, Junaid Khan, Mohammad Amir, Mohammad Hafeez, Mohammad Hasnain

Any live streaming

 

[SARJ_BD]

Hafeez should not play. He need time to recover fr9m finger injury. Lets not rush things, we have a WC ahead.

1. Abid Ali ( give some playing time to the new guy)
2. Imam / Fakhar
3. Babar ( his record in England is alarming)
4. Haris Sohail
5. Sarfraz Ahmed ( the weakest link of Pakistan Cricket)
6. Imad Wasim ( deserve promotion)
7. Asif Ali ( no option left)
8. Hasan Ali/ Fahim Ashraf
9. Yasir Shah
10. Amir
11. M Hasnain ( give some playing time to the new player)

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

Yasir will play all games, perform in exactly one side match and one ODI vs England and will play all games for Pakistan in the World Cup with no rewards.

 

[Khan12]

Hopefully Yasir shah gives 100+ today sick and tired of seeing him specially smiling when he gets hit for a six. Ridiculous. What is is management thinking.

 

[Mueez]

Yasir will play all games, perform in exactly one side match and one ODI vs England and will play all games for Pakistan in the World Cup with no rewards.

Shadab will replace him once fit.

Let Yasir enjoy till then.

 

[cricketerB94]

Hope that Pakistan chases a target of 350+ today. That'd be a real practice.

 

[Ronaldo7]

Hope that Pakistan chases a target of 350+ today. That'd be a real practice.

If they get set a total of 350 then say RIP to our bowling in the WC.

 

[Mueez]

Great to see Imad batting at 6.

Needs a good performance to solidify his place at number 6.

Also an ideal chance to see what Asif will do on the English pitches.

 

[Shaddy86]

Hope that Pakistan chases a target of 350+ today. That'd be a real practice.

Being tonked for 350 is more worrying than not being able to chase it.

 

[Mueez]

http://northantscricket.com/cricket/live-scores/#s54ec2bde-93bb-42f7-9d38-9c7b022f6a1c

I think there won’t be any live stream, but Northamptonshire will post videos of every boundary and wicket just like the previous practice match.

 

[cricketerB94]

If they get set a total of 350 then say RIP to our bowling in the WC.

Being tonked for 350 is more worrying than not being able to chase it.

This bowling line up has 3 of our front line bowlers missing: Shaheen, Hasan and Shadab.

If Yasir goes for 100+ which was about to happen in last game and other bowlers just concede 6 per over, then this is very much possible: 60 + 60 + 60 + 60 + 100 = 340.

But this will not happen as Amir and Junaid are too good for these county sides.

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Amir storms back!!!!

R Levi bowled first ball.

 

[Mueez]

Amir, pls carry this till the WC.

Your performance hasn’t been up to mark recently but Pakistan needs you...

Really lucky wicket for Amir. Bottom edge and onto the stumps. Is this the deciding wicket?

 

[Khan12]

Amir bowling nicely. Hopefully he will replace junaid in the squad.

Excellent.

We have a long tail today - frustratingly Yasir gets another game.

Thankyou so much.

 

[Baigel]

The real Amir has returned!

 

[Shafi]

Both Micky, Sarfraz and Inzi are all obsess with Yasir. Don't know what magic spell he had on them.

 

[Baigel]

Hasnain is on!

 

[Shafi]

Shadab will replace him once fit.

Let Yasir enjoy till then.

Yasir will be back up for Shadab. So he will be back after World cup ever time Shadab has any injury issue. Most likely if both Micky and Inzi stay we will see Yasir in T20 World Cup as well.

 

[b.lesner]

Who are these commentators

They are saying not express pace hasnain just hits the deck hard

 

[Omer2002]

expensive first over although good bouncer at the end

 

[Omer2002]

bowled him

 

[AFM]

The stream has better quality than PTV

 

[GoUgandaCranes]

The stream has better quality than PTV

Ancient egyptians made better videos than PT(std)V

 

[hisham_ashraf]

Hasnain is just too good for these guys.
He is bowling with some venom.He is only in his 4th over and has hit two batsman on the helmet,one of them was forced to retire hurt.

 

[Khan12]

Husnain is bowling quick. He's hurrying them.

Two batsmen hit on the helmet by Hasnain.

 

[AFM]

Yasir on now

 

[Muhammad Saad]

^Yea and got hit for a six right?

 

[AFM]

Just got smashed for a six

 

[Khan12]

Just got smashed for a six

Hopefully gets hit for 10 more at least.

 

[Muhammad Saad]

Mickey and co. must be blind if they can't see that Yasir doesn't belong to this level.

 

[Khan12]

Watch haris outball yasir with ease.

 

[Abdullah719]

Good day for Yasir, going at just 7/over.

 

[Khan12]

Good day for Yasir, going at just 7/over.

The batsmens are more comfortable facing him then haris.

 

[Titan24]

Usual start from Yasir. Other than anything else my problem is that he keeps on repeating the same mistakes again and again, he keeps on bowling flatter, quicker, doesnt spin it, doesnt vary his pace and doesnt use much variations. What does he expect? Yes you cant suddenly become a top white ball bowler but altleast should not be repeating the same mistakes after so much of international experience. Not sure what Azhar and Mickey are doing either.

 

[Titan24]

Probably the best over for Yasir on the tour till now with only 3 runs conceded and Haris takes the wicket in the very next over.

 

[Shaddy86]

I hope the world cup commentators learn to pronounce Fakhar's name properly. I just heard the commentator not even try to say it any differently than the obvious other word.

 

[Angrez Pakistani]

Good Sharp catch by Yasir.

 

[Khan12]

Bad news yasir with a wicket.

 

[Titan24]

I hope the world cup commentators learn to pronounce Fakhar's name properly. I just heard the commentator not even try to say it any differently than the obvious other word.

I guess most of the people around the globe struggle with pronunciation of “Kh” so I dont think other than maybe Pakistani commentators anyone in the WC will be able to pronounce it correctly.

 

[Ronaldo7]

I hope the world cup commentators learn to pronounce Fakhar's name properly. I just heard the commentator not even try to say it any differently than the obvious other word.

They get a free pass why would they not want to say it?

 

[Titan24]

Impressive stuff from Haris, this gives us pretty decent spin bowling options with Shadab, Imad, Haris and Hafeez. If used well Haris and Hafeez can easily cover the overs in the middle if any bower is having a bad day.

Haris was used pretty poorly against Aus in UAE where he was looking pretty effective.

 

[Mueez]

Is Haris the allrounder we are looking for...?

Perfect replacement for Hafeez after the WC.

 

[hussain.r97]

Haris can easily bowl the overs Malik normally bowls. I really don't see any point in persisting with Malik, unfortunately he's past it.

 

[coy0607]

Imar and Haris both outbowling Yasir. Wow!

 

[Chokli]

Amir
Junaid
Hasnain

Faheem
Hasan
Shaheen

Both are decent trios

Sucks one of them has to miss out

 

[the Great Khan]

Haris can easily bowl the overs Malik normally bowls. I really don't see any point in persisting with Malik, unfortunately he's past it.

he's been past it since 2005..the fact he is still here just says all it needs to about the PCB..

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

Amir
Junaid
Hasnain

Faheem
Hasan
Shaheen

There are so many games. I am sure they will be rotated quite a bit and eventually Pakistan will settle into the right combination by the finals

 

[Baigel]

What's up with the commentators? They seem to be very Ant-Pakistani

 

[shahidafridi123]

Junaid.....8 overs and 54 conceded

 

[Ronaldo7]

Junaid.....8 overs and 54 conceded

27 off that over.

 

[Chokli]

Lol Junaid getting smashed by a club side for 27 runs.

And some people still wanted Junaid.

He is past it

 

[Chokli]

There are so many games. I am sure they will be rotated quite a bit and eventually Pakistan will settle into the right combination by the finals &#55357;&#56898;

Junaid should miss out.

 

[Omer2002]

oh dear this could be a tough chase....

 

[Titan24]

Our two most experienced pacers in Amir and Junaid cant create an impact even against county teams.

Azhar Mehmood might be decent with young pacers but overall the already established names have deteriorated under him.

Dont know any other team with their most experienced ODI bowlers being as toothless in recent times.

 

[Chokli]

Cobbs highest score has come against the best bowlers in the world

 

[Chokli]

Junaid )

 

[W63L35]

oh dear this could be a tough chase....

If this is tough chase then I fail to see us winning more than 2 matches in the WC.

 

[W63L35]

58 runs in last 5 overs! Nice!!!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Why has Sarfraz not bowled out Hasnain when he had 3 overs left and kept bowling Junaid who went for 79 in 10?

Is this on purpose or is Hasnain not fit to bowl out 10 overs?

 

[JattMaula]

Why has Sarfraz not bowled out Hasnain when he had 3 overs left and kept bowling Junaid who went for 79 in 10?

Is this on purpose or is Hasnain not fit to bowl out 10 overs?

You don't use Ferrari to do chores.

 

[Chokli]

Imam, Fakhar, Babar, Haris, Imad will have to do the bulk of the scoring.

We are playing two passengers in Sarfraz and Asif.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

You don't use Ferrari to do chores.

You need to test the Ferrari in conditions it is not used to be in.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Cobbs highest score has come against the best bowlers in the world

Best bowlers in the world? seriously?

 

[W63L35]

Why has Sarfraz not bowled out Hasnain when he had 3 overs left and kept bowling Junaid who went for 79 in 10?

Is this on purpose or is Hasnain not fit to bowl out 10 overs?

Saving his best bowler for the big occasion.... from the injury!

 

[Omer2002]

Does anybody know if we getting replacments for malik as i am sure he will miss half the England series
