[Red Devil]

Hopefully that's all brainfarts out of the way

 

[ExpressPacer]

Azhar Ali is determined to make us lose.

 

[CricFan2012]

Hahahahaha azhar will single handedly lose this match for you guys, what a weak hitter

 

[DRsohail]

good tst match 2 days inthe game still long way to go..

 

[todfod 11]

Azhar making a case for test team selection..
sarcastic lolz

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Trash ODI batsman

 

[Syed1]

0(8) so far by gritty and temperament

 

[Crafty_Indian]

Pakistan are such a poor batting side lollllllzzzzz.....

 

[captain crook]

Pakistan are such a poor batting side lollllllzzzzz.....

Come back when we win this.

 

[ExpressPacer]

What is he even doing? Oh my, oh my... This bloke has no idea about how ODIs are played, does he? Nicely picking out the fielders.

 

[Syed1]

0(9) and counting

 

[DRsohail]

hahahha 0 from 10////

 

[czar]

Great Start Azhar Bhai, keep it up. Important thing is to spend time on crease, runs are secondary.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Azhar Ali creating pressure already by eating up so many Dot balls!

 

[CricFan2012]

Manoj tiwary > all of Pakistani batsmen in this line up except Babar

 

[Zeshan547]

Imagine we are chasing 350 plus against England and azhar the legendary start of like this. Absolute rubbish.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Hope izamaman is watching. Clueless sekector. Why has he given us this snail and why is Mickey playing him

 

[cricfan967]

Azhar roaring 0 (10)

 

[Syed1]

SL dropped that catch on purpose

 

[Shaik]

Really I feel poor for my parosis. How can this, even be justified?

 

[Red Devil]

C'mon man 10 dot balls? Needlessly putting pressure on himself and his partner.

 

[Cricketfan no 1]

Come back when we win this.

won't change the fact that Pakistan is a poor batting side

 

[Pete Rose]

The thing with Azhar ali is that his face reflects what we are all feeling

 

[shaz619]

Our line up is fragile but It's not a straight forward wicket to bat on as we saw in the 1st innings, there's still a fair amount in the wicket for bowlers. It's not a big total and we do not need to do anything stupid, a semi final is at stake.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Imagine we are 350 plus against England and azhar the legendary start of like this. Absolute rubbish.

This is why I want azhar to fail today. Can not have him opening against England

 

[DRsohail]

0(9) and counting

someone should give inzi and micky a big danda...

 

[ToeCrusher2]

Only wickets can save lanka here, stop crying over the run rate, ali is playing according to the situation

 

[QalandarFan]

Someone tell Azhar this is not a test match.

 

[ExpressPacer]

Pakistan are such a poor batting side lollllllzzzzz.....

We have a gazillion better blokes suffering in the domestics but the hypocrite selectors like Inzi are too corrupt to make any changes.

 

[CricFan2012]

Hope izamaman is watching. Clueless sekector. Why has he given us this snail and why is Mickey playing him

to "stabilize" batting)

 

[JibranAnsari]

How can anyone bat well with azhar.. So much negativity oozing out of him.

 

[Haz95]

There hasn't been a single batsman I've seen with the grit and determination of Azhar Ali since Misbah. The guy knows how to stay on the wicket.

All these kids care how fast the runs come but not how much runs come, stay off PP kids!

 

[Arham_PakFan]

What the hell is Azhar doing?Disgusting

 

[uzairmanzoor13]

Zaman is so easy on the eyes.

 

[captain crook]

Fakhar

 

[ExpressPacer]

Shot by Zaman. What a pity players like him and Sharjeel have had to be put hander pressure because of the mediocrity of Azhar.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

for Zaman.

 

[QalandarFan]

Fakhar!

 

[JibranAnsari]

Edged for 4

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Another

 

[Syed1]

It is Zaman or bust for Pakistan.

 

[rexbamezai]

SL dropped that catch on purpose

Gunathilaka too didn't pick up the ball on purpose )

 

[Red Devil]

Edged for 4

Edged? lol

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Excellent from Fakhar. Azhar should watch closely

 

[DHONI183]

Even if the Sri Lankan attack doesn´t look much threatening, I still feel this will be a close one. Depends on what kind of a start Fakhar provides. Should he fail, the blockathon will begin and the required run-rate will begin to creep up past five and a half.

Fearless approach needed. Will be in trouble if they get shaky.

 

[QalandarFan]

This is what I like to see back to back boundaries!

 

[Pete Rose]

Will Azhar play against England (assuming we get there)

 

[ExpressPacer]

Zaman is a breath of fresh air. Unfortunately will not be able to live up to his full potential because he has to score all the runs as the pathetic Azhar Ali is his partner. This is absolutely criminal and boils my blood.

 

[CricFan2012]

There hasn't been a single batsman I've seen with the grit and determination of Azhar Ali since Misbah. The guy knows how to stay on the wicket.

All these kids care how fast the runs come but not how much runs come, stay off PP kids!

are you serious bro?

have you seen how many matches misbah single handedly lost you matches with his "grit" and 60-70 strike rates

Haven't seen such a besharam batsmen in recent times

 

[Arsalan Pro]

 

[JibranAnsari]

Edged? lol

Outside half

 

[Nasty Naz]

Azhar should do the country of Pakistan a favour and retire from LOI.

 

[todfod 11]

some people complained hack Fakhar has no technique.. Mediocre ppers tolli

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Fakhar on fire .Another

 

[Pete Rose]

Azhar is playing for tea and will open up thereafter

 

[captain crook]

Zaman is going to win this tournament for Pakistan. Mark this post!

 

[JibranAnsari]

Beauty!!

 

[CricFan2012]

Zaman playing crispy drives, what a player, love him already, nice name too

 

[PakFan2010]

If we only we had two Fakhar's.

 

[Arsalan Pro]

3 Fours, What batting by Fakhar!!!!

 

[QalandarFan]

Fakhar is to good! Imagine if we had Sharjeel with him!

 

[Square Drive]

Fakhar is an absolute gem.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Srilanka should tey a bouncer on f

 

[Speedster1]

That's it Zaman!! Unleash the inner beast

 

[Zeshan547]

Only wickets can save lanka here, stop crying over the run rate, ali is playing according to the situation /QUOTE]

And you typed this with a straight face??

 

[Crafty_Indian]

Malinga these days has developed this rare skill that is present in some select Pakistani batsmen where he can single handedly lose the game for his team

 

[Runner Up]

Sanjay Manjrekar just called Fakhar as fakar

 

[Syed1]

SL please get Azhar out

 

[Hamza_]

Azhar 0 off 12

 

[CricFan2012]

Fakhars cover drives are dada-esque

 

[JibranAnsari]

0(12)

 

[Arham_PakFan]

0(12)

 

[zn426]

Azhar to now see off the new ball from Lakmal. Ladies and gentlemen, get your Azhar ali flavored Dippin dots ice cream right here!

 

[castortroy]

Seriously how is Azhar Ali playing as our opener

These English tracks are flat and not swinging so don't need him in the line up

 

[Arsalan Pro]

If we only we had two Fakhar's.

5-6 would be much better.

 

[Syed1]

Meanwhile Azhar has raced away to 0(11)

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Azhar has played 2 overs here now

 

[todfod 11]

Nice from Azhar really a great test batsmen.. and test is the ultimate form of cricket hence azhar is good. go azhar go
