ICC CT 2017, Group B | Pakistan v Sri Lanka | 12th June, 2017 | Cardiff | Pakistan innings

[Abdullah719]

Pakistan need to make 237 to qualify for the Champions Trophy semis.

Can they do it?

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Should chase it. Hoping azhar ali gets out quickly so this pathetic ODI batsman can finally be dropped for Haris.

 

[BleedGreen]

Its tough in these conditions. We should have bowled them out for 180-190

 

[dauntless]

Ganguly is saying this is a good total

 

[pakistani pride]

Its tough in these conditions. We should have bowled them out for 180-190

Oh bas kar bhai. its not tough at all. It all depends on how they bat. Even with our flawed method we should chase this in 49.3 overs

 

[Syed1]

What's the latest news, how slow were we in completing the overs? Is Sarfu getting banned?

 

[ToeCrusher2]

Advantage Pakistan, but it is a pressure game so anything can happen, come on lanka

 

[ToeCrusher2]

What's the latest news, how slow were we in completing the overs? Is Sarfu getting banned?

You don't get banned if you get the opposition allout as far as I remember, could be wrong

 

[Markhor]

Let's hope we don't make a meal out of this chase. Semi final place is within our grasp.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Haven't slept after Sehri. Hope azhar ali doesn't put me to sleep

 

[ToeCrusher2]

Ganguly is saying this is a good total������

Really? It means there is still hope

 

[jnaveen1980]

No excuse not to chase this down. Conditions will be better for the team batting second. Up against a poor bowling attack. Almost a nothing score to chase down.

 

[captain crook]

Ganguly is saying this is a good total������

Is Ganguly deluded or what?

[MENTION=138254]Syed1[/MENTION] will be getting nervous

As will brothers [MENTION=138463]Slog[/MENTION] and [MENTION=134608]Hawkeye[/MENTION] who were baying for Arthur's blood. Oh please God let it happen.

 

[QalandarFan]

I guess we just have to make it into the semis every other tournament.

 

[Syed1]

You don't get banned if you get the opposition allout as far as I remember, could be wrong

Doesn't matter if you have them all out or one down, you have to complete overs in allotted time. The number of minutes you go over allotted time the severity of offense starts increasing. Hopefully it is just a monetary hit and not a ban.

Oh God I thought you had forgotten by now.

 

[Marikar]

This is where Pakistan needs an anchor to keep going. Nothing to panic about the runrate. All it needs three good partnerships.

Congrats Galants. Who would have thought a team crumbled againstt India will have this miraculous come back..!!! indeed this is Pakistan speecial.

I stress once again Azhar Ali should be there in anchor's roll.

[MENTION=138254]Syed1[/MENTION] gotta keep your promise buddy. Just need to give Arthur a good opener in place of azhar and he needs to bring in Haris at 4. He will do even better than he already is

No. Azhar ali should have NO role in ODIs. Hope he gets out early today

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Should be a easy chase.

 

[ToeCrusher2]

Oh God I thought you had forgotten by now.

Support lanka

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Hopefully Fakhar Zaman will fire today as well.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Wales is such a boring place

 

[JibranAnsari]

Big game for azhar anf hafeez , both need to score big to give pakistan a chance. Expecting babar and malik to fail todaym

 

[dauntless]

Really? It means there is still hope

Yeah you need a ray of hope and tonnes of luck today

 

[Amjid Javed]

We need a positive start here and hopefully we can chase this down. Hafeez usuaully likes bullying SL!

 

[Markhor]

Wales is such a boring place

Yes that advert made Wales look far more dramatic and exciting than it is

 

[Ankit007]

I havent followed the match but it looks pretty easy total. Must be too easy for Pakistan from here

 

[Shafi]

I am hoping to win after classic duck of Azhar and Hafeez

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Honestly embarrassing to see someone like azhar open for us in modern day ODI cricket

 

[dauntless]

Azhar and his style of leaving the ball

 

[ToeCrusher2]

Yeah you need a ray of hope and tonnes of luck today����

Or the routine pakistani collapse

 

[JibranAnsari]

Usual stuff from azhar.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Azhar will never learn , such a poor batsman.

 

[ExpressPacer]

Azhar Ali determined to play a maiden here..

 

[Syed1]

Azhar Ali for you ladies and gents.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Dropped

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Dropped.

 

[ExpressPacer]

Yaar... Should've been taken. Damn it. I was almost happy.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Embarrassing ODI batsman. Perplexing to see someone like this playing ODIs in 2017

 

[Shafi]

Azhar needs 120 overs to chase this. Please get out

 

[dauntless]

Or the routine pakistani collapse

I don't think that is going to happen today. But you never know

 

[JibranAnsari]

Cant get off the mark even after taking a risk.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Crap. Should've taken it. Azhar gets a life

 

[ExpressPacer]

Oh, my God. What is wrong with this guy? Are we playing Tests...

 

[ToeCrusher2]

lanka can make up for the missed 20 runs by bowling a couple of maidens here

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Honestly embarrassing to see someone like azhar open for us in modern day ODI cricket

He shouldn't be in the team, but chasing a small target is perfect for him, he'll get the shine off the new ball and will still hit the odd boundary.

 

[captain crook]

Crap. Should've taken it. Azhar gets a life

Are you even a Pakistani?

 

[Rayyman]

Someone tell him the target isn't 0.

 

[MRSN]

But azhar ali has shots?

 

[Syed1]

Yaarrr.... never been sadder about a Pakistani batsmen being dropped.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Pakistan off the mark

 

[uzairmanzoor13]

Pakistani batsmen never make the opposition pay after being dropped. Hope today Azhar can do so.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Maiden by azhar as usual. Wish he wasn't dropped

 

[ask_analyse_act]

I am hoping to win after classic duck of Azhar and Hafeez

one of ur wish spilled by gunathilaka... still have 100% chance though...

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Maiden Over to start.

 

[Shafi]

Wasted whole over. This guy is capable of making under 5 RR to 7 RR. What a rubbish player

 

[czar]

Pakistan should look to bat full quota if 50 overs. If they do it, they will win.

 

[ExpressPacer]

Yaarrr.... never been sadder about a Pakistani batsmen being dropped.

Dil ki baat bol di.

 

[Shaik]

I think with Azhar opening, one maiden is pakka for the opening bowler

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Someone tell him the target isn't 0.

Among the sea of comments this made me genuinely smile

 

[dauntless]

Fakhar should smash a few

 

[Barragan]

Lucky azhar, can't play fast and can't keep his wicket intact

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Are you even a Pakistani?

Yes. But I really don't want azhar to do well for Pakistans sake. Every run he scores is bad for Pakistan. He has a net negative affect. I'm confident we have a higher chance to chase this if we went with 10 players

 

[JibranAnsari]

Pakistan should look to bat full quota if 50 overs. If they do it, they will win.

Not if azhar is still notout.

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Good single.

 

[ExpressPacer]

Now Azhar Ali will keep the strike for the whole over and put Zaman under pressure.

 

[Syed1]

So much easier for Zaman to rotate the strike

 

[MRSN]

Trash start from Pakistan so far

 

[ask_analyse_act]

pak batsmen will make lakmal the McGrath of SRL in a while..

 

[Hamza_]

Please Azhar, Get out.

 

[castortroy]

Wow already showing how poor our batters are

 

[todfod 11]

azhar full of drama tonight

 

[JibranAnsari]

Conspiracy to get azhar run out failed.

 

[captain crook]

Trash start from Pakistan so far

Give it some time bhai.. we just started

 

[DRsohail]

azhar stay there lolz

 

[czar]

Take your full time Azhar Bhai, abhi 50 over pade huwe hai.

Khul ke apna time lijiye.

 

[dauntless]

Torture to watch him bat

 

[MRSN]

Good single.

Lol had he fielder picked it up Azhar was a goner
