What's new

Federal Areas [378/6] beat Balochistan [375/7] by four wickets in the Pakistan One Day Cup

Syed Bhaee if you watched him bat please give your insight here on in Agha's thread.


A month with Saqlain and He will be a better replacement of Hafeez. He is accurate but pivot needs lots of work hence revs and spin will improve. No one better than Saqi to help him.

In patches, I watched a little bit of his batting today (mainly because, probably for first time he was sent at 4 in televised match) - that on the rise pushed boundary of Sohail (?) piercing 4 men cover cordon was pure, pure class, hardly any fielder moved & that shows the class of a batsman. Besides, this guy has a clean action &he doesn't rely on Doosra only - imagine same guy bowling to 5 WI lefti on a 5th day wicket, for opposite end of where Amir & Wahab had long, long spells, while Yasir kept bowling round the wicket...............
 
They are almost playing at the run rate required with wickets in hand, looking bad for Baluchistan.

Wow. Loved reading this. Encouraging.


He has decent control and a clean fine action but he needs some work with Saqlain where minor adjustments will result in him getting far more turn and bite. Currently he doesn't turn the ball much which is a weakness. I am not sure whether Tauseef can be helpful but Saqlain definitely.
 
Is Inzi on ground today?

Why would he be now?

When it mattered he was not present and that showed in his selection, where he ignored the top performers in this tournament and selected those who were out of form or not capable for a major tournament. Disappointing stuff from the revolutionary.

More than anything, he needs a FC match where 2nd innings of match exists (long, effective one - not 40-50 overs dash) & a Captain, who'll trust him with 35 overs 4th innings spell - at present, nothing is there :( On top of that, his FC Captain is S-a-d Nasim......

Saqline can improve his technique, acuracy & turn, but won't develop him as a bowler much - that intelligence is learnt in match condition against quality batsmen of spin.

I thought, I saw someone in topi - shilwar, but might be mistaken on palm top ..... :)

I actually believe, he should be there today, now that the team is selected & his "picks" are safe & sound, he needs to pretend doing his job.
 
Sami striking it today. People were hyping up that hack Manzoor so much yesterday but barely anything today.

he won't do it, but squads can be changed till the 25th of may , after that it can only be on medical or family bereavement grounds
 
No!!!! Haris Sohail fails in front of Inzi. This was a chance for him to make the CT squad as they can replace people till May 25
 
Such odi batsman in the world right now is only Virat Kohli who can chase targets of 350s.

Pretty sure Qdk, AB, Smith, Root, Buttler, Faf etc etc are all capable of chasing 350+. However, it is big deal for Pakistan teams.

These pitches are supremely flat and bowling units aren't complete. There's 2-3 good bowlers and the rest rubbish. You have to watch the player to judge him.
 
no point rushing Haris in,

Plus i dont see a place for him in odis untill Malik starts failing

We should look to bring back Haris in our next test series then take it from there. He was out for roughly 2 years, people need to be paitent, we dont want to break him again, to much of an asset
 
Shakeel Shaikhs nephew walks in at 5 before talat and imad wasim.. nepotism at its finest
 
Happy that Sami Aslam is smashing it, he's a stroke maker but hoping Yamin takes wickets

Yes, That's why I'm saying Khurram Manzoor threads we're popped up needlessly.

According to the commentators, he has a 'good cricketing mind'.

Batting average of 22 at a SR of 65.

Bowling average of 55, economy 6.

Stunning stats, Sobers would be envious.
 
It goes unnoticed by most but Shakeel Sheik is the biggest villain in Pakistan cricket right now. He is basically a thug
 
Sami is taking revenge on Inzi, at his presence, for not going to WI :)

Can he get a double today?
 
This Sheikh's nephew shouldnt be in Islamabad side.
We have much better players in Isloo.
But irony is he is the captain of Islamabad in absence of Imad.

This will keep happening till we have corrupt folks like Najam Sethi at the helm
 
If Sami Aslam manages to pull off this chase, then Azhar Ali should get "injured" and Aslam sent in his place. Azhar cannot play an innings like this even if he had five chances.

Nah, too much pressure for him to go straight to a CT

I think everybody and their dog know this now. He is the most shady person in all of Pakistan cricket system.

I dont understand how he has so much influence?? He is accused of keeping even sadaf hussain out because of personal dislike.

He runs his jurisdiction like a mafia don, that's why

Azhar Ali doesn't need to get "injured" teams have until May 25 to make changes for any reason. After that changes can only be made due to injuries or unforeseen circumstances such as illness, death in family etc and once approved by technical committee. Last year we replaced Manzoor with Latif simply due to Latif having a good PSL and Manzoor being awful in Asia Cup. We also dropped Ifti for world t20 and brought in Sami and this was allowed as it was before the deadline. So bottom line is players still have chances to do good here and be put in Champions Trophy squad.

there's every chance he can go to the CT as there is a deadline of 25 May to make changes. I think most important part on Aslam's behalf now is to stay there till the end. If he can get a double century that will certainly stand out
 
Hope Sami finishes it and screams YAH INZY TALK NAH

Should run off to the dug out and grab a marker and paper write out "YAH INZI TALK NAH", store it in his pocket and show it to the world when (if) he gets 200 or finishes it off. :salute
 
Why not send in Hussain Talat, a proper batsman when only a little over a run a ball is req'd? :danish
 
Excellent effort to bring RR to nearly run a ball. That's how you chase a massive target. Well done Sami. I didn't know you possessed this kind of game, you sure kept it hidden far far away.
