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

[ExpressPacer]

You lot are honestly pathetic. Criticizing a guy who has just bowled the first few overs of his career, citing him as a 'trundler' when he's easily hitting 138kph-140kph and then calling his wicket 'lucky.' Meanwhile, you lot will defend the wicketless wonder Amir to death just because he USED to be good some good 6-7 years back. Kudos to you all.

Post of the week.

 

[yasir]

There is big difference in attitude and approach of Hasan Vs Amir.
Hasan is running hard, have aggressive mindset. Amir used to run hard, not since he returned, he has no intend, looks like bowling same ball over and over again. Its really disappointing, he has so much natural talent and technique, all wasted

 

[jnaveen1980]

280 will be a tricky target. They have to keep taking wickets.

 

[todfod 11]

i feel thisara will play a blinder today

 

[Lynx]

Oh my God Fahim bowled 2 back to back wides. Off with his head! Should never be selected again. How did he get into this team? The world is ending! AMIR AMIR AMIR.

 

[saeed5646]

I know. Not saying he is bad or something. Jist saying his pace is impressive so far in this match but not the control.

YEAH He is proper batsmen you will be impress

 

[dauntless]

No Faheem is from Kasur and Hassan is from Sialkot or somewhere around

Oh okay! Thanks!! I was talking about hasan though

 

[Madplayer]

280 will be a tricky target. They have to keep taking wickets.

280 is a match winning total on this ground. This is the best pitch for fast bowlers in this CT as per commies.

 

[Stewie]

He is bowling ok, apart from the two wides. He is pretty pacy. No seam or swing though

 

[Sohail11]

Fahim balling too far from the wickets. Needs to come in a tad with his runup. Will trouble thr batsman abit more. His pace is fine.

 

[Syed1]

Oh my God Fahim bowled 2 back to back wides. Off with his head! Should never be selected again. How did he get into this team? The world is ending! AMIR AMIR AMIR.

That's PakPassion for you

 

[Magyar]

Mathews is slowly getting settled for a later onslaught.

 

[Musakhel]

This has got to be the shortest pakistan Team I can remember not one player over 6 feet.

 

[Hamza_]

Fahim is anything but trundler.

I like [MENTION=138599]Lynx[/MENTION] probably among the few logical posters about when it comes to his objectivity, either you have it or you don't

You see sorts of people on Pakpassion. Don't be disheartened.

 

[jnaveen1980]

280 is a match winning total on this ground. This is the best pitch for fast bowlers in this CT as per commies.

To get to 280 they have to make 6 an over from here. So it is not easy with only 7 in hand. But if they let these guys build a partnership it is not totally out of reach.

 

[Madplayer]

YEAH He is proper batsmen you will be impress

Haha have seen him bat in a domestic match. Looks to be a clean hitter. But the bowling lacked control even in domestics i'm afraid.

 

[ExplicitAI]

Mathews feeling the heat

 

[dauntless]

Here comes "the professor"

 

[GOAT999]

He is bowling ok, apart from the two wides. He is pretty pacy. No seam or swing though

Mr Mitchell starc didn't get any swing here so u expect this guy playing his first game to do so

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Pakistan have it so easy. ICC desperate to get Pakistan into the semis.

It's still a road. And how do we have it easy exactly? The other team plays on the same surface. We beat South Africa and this Sri Lankan batting lineup chased 320 against your attack

 

[Shaik]

3 trundlers with wickets. That's not a big deal. As, Amir is Gold.

 

[itsme]

Matthews not moving his feets at all

 

[ExpressPacer]

I like [MENTION=138599]Lynx[/MENTION] probably among the few logical posters about when it comes to his objectivity, either you have it or you don't

Agreed. Should definitely post more. Ever since the Champions Trophy, we've seen lots of retired PPers making comebacks and pots of lurkers posting too. I wish all of them could be more consistent because some people like [MENTION=2501]Savak[/MENTION] and [MENTION=138599]Lynx[/MENTION] provide brilliant insight.

 

[dauntless]

Prof has to bowl wicket to wicket

 

[nitrous]

Well said... So many arm chair experts on this forum who think they can bowl better than Fahim and Amir is their golden boy.

These same arm chair experts just know how to smash the keys on the keyboards and won't even be able to bowl two overs on an actual cricket field.

 

[shaz619]

You see sorts of people on Pakpassion. Don't be disheartened.

It annoying, not sure why people would give a "badwa" (is that what you call it ? ) to a debutant ! and wish for him to fail

 

[pillionrider]

Cmon Dickwella. After all that emotional blubber you spouted after the India game, do something of note

 

[ExplicitAI]

Lol why doesn't Sarfy put a slip in?

 

[saeed5646]

Haha have seen him bat in a domestic match. Looks to be a clean hitter. But the bowling lacked control even in domestics i'm afraid.

yeah he scores a excellent fifty against strong Zim A .

[Executioner]

thanks for the jinx

How is it a jinx? No one was runout

Infact, they have kept on running well.

 

[battler]

Sri lanka tuk tuking now, they need to keep the boundaries going anything less than 300 and their bowlers will leak it away.

 

[ExpressPacer]

It annoying, not sure why people would give a "badwa" (is that what you call it ? ) to a debutant ! and wish for him to fail

Haha, yes. Not exactly 'badwa' but that is how it is pronounced usually. The correct way to say it would be "bad'dua" with "bad" being pronounced as "bud".

 

[Sam18696]

I sense a wicket.

 

[Stewie]

Faheem is rushing matthews... he is skiddier than he looks

 

[DRsohail]

fahim is more pacy than i expected to be..

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Good over 2 off it

 

[Titan24]

Faheem is rushing matthews... he is skiddier than he looks

Yes he has been impressive considering that it his debut

 

[Macho Mann]

3 trundlers with wickets. That's not a big deal. As, Amir is Gold.

i only count hasan as 'genuine' wicket

rest were 'lucky'

 

[saeed5646]

How is it a jinx? No one was runout

Sorry i thought you Said the RHB is exemplary

 

[dauntless]

Mathews can take srilanka to a respectable total

 

[Macho Mann]

dive bhi nhi maar sakte ye losers

 

[Shaik]

i only count hasan as 'genuine' wicket

rest were 'lucky'

Lucky?

Luck favours the brave.

Fahim pitched it up.

 

[ExplicitAI]

These miserly overs from Hafeez are going to be very useful.

 

[dauntless]

Mathews is struggling so far

 

[Wowqar]

PAK needs a wicket here...SL looking to be had.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Sarf might get banned...

 

[ExpressPacer]

What was that?!

 

[Arham_PakFan]

No ball.

 

[Stewie]

PAK needs a wicket here...SL looking to be had.

He should have brought back junaid for the kill 5 overs ago

 

[Madplayer]

Woahhhhhhh what was that

 

[Titan24]

Lol, Fahim almost murdered dickwella

 

[Syed1]

Need 20 overs from Imad + Hafeez + Fahim

 

[ExpressPacer]

Sarf might get banned...

Why?

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Sarf might get banned...

Williamson got away that day,Sarfraz might as well.

 

[Titan24]

Sarf might get banned...

Whats the required over rate? How much are we behind?

 

[Madplayer]

Over rate is very very slow. Needs to do something about it sarfaraz. Dont want to end up lile tharanga.

 

[ExpressPacer]

Mathews can't make use of a free hit.

Edit: Pathetic delivery and he hits a four.

 

[Macho Mann]

this guy fahim looks another wahab riaz version, no control

 

[shah_1]

Fahim express Ashraf lol

 

[Madplayer]

First 4 after 13th over.

Gangu bot is here to talk trash. Thankfully India isnt playing today.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Mathews can't make use of a free hit.

What?

 

[Sam18696]

MashAllah what bowling by new guy

 

[ExplicitAI]

What a beamer!

 

[MRSN]

Whats the required over rate? How much are we behind?

14-15

[MENTION=141922]ExpressPacer[/MENTION] [MENTION=46929]shaz619[/MENTION] [MENTION=6809]nitrous[/MENTION] Thank you guys, for the compliments. I'll definitely try to post more here but I see such knee jerk reactions on a consistent basis on this forum that it makes me want to tear my hair out. The bias and hate, the blatant favouring of players, no objectivity. Ugh.

 

[ExpressPacer]

this guy fahim looks another wahab riaz version, no control

Young guy, has pace and is a good batsman - can be improved.

 

[Madplayer]

Dickwella has great skills of rotating strike.

Infact all SL batsmen have this now. They are going to be a great team soon.

 

[Usman Chadda]

The fielding today has been ordinary.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Dickwella has great skills of rotating strike.

Infact all SL batsmen have this now. They are going to be a great team soon.

Indeed.This lot has great potential.

 

[imshally81]

Bring Imad Instead of Fahim..

 

[ExpressPacer]

It's chill bro. I guess everyone has a right to their opinion and more importantly, such biases, masala and favoritism only makes PP more fun.

 

[Stewie]

Faheem's pace is impressive. Very consistent

 

[Syed1]

Azhar cannot rotate the strike like this even if he is batting at 100

 

[Bilal7]

Should be Fahim's last over. Hafeez is good enough to bowl a few more cheap overs and then back to Wasim and the frontline quicks we go.

Have a bad feeling about this match though. If Pakistan lose this game as well, I'll be taking a break from Pakpassion at least until the England vs South Africa tests start. Hoping for an English win (if Pakistan lose here).

 

[Madplayer]

Indeed.This lot has great potential.

They just have to fix their bowling now. Try some new players there as well.

 

[Haz95]

this fahim kid is very raw. Can be worked with tho....has some pace and isn't a complete dud with the batsman. Would persist with him, remember he's 10kph odd more on average than Anwar Botham.

 

[Macho Mann]

desperately need a wicket of either of these, otherwise will be too late
