ICC CT 2017 | Pakistan v South Africa | 7th June, 2017 | Birmingham | Pakistan innings

[Runner Up]

It's drizzling out there someone needs to tell them that they need to score 70/2 in 20 overs.

 

[ussy]

This is why we won't be a top side for quite a while.

 

[prayas]

8 in 2

 

[Abdul]

Hahahahahahaha Babar. Modern batsman. ) )

 

[Da_Future_Knick]

This is actually pathetic even by Pakistan standards.

 

[Syed1]

Hafeez is the worst batsman to ever play for us and Babar is fast approaching Hafeez as well with this pathetic tuk tuk

 

[sehwag fan]

Wicket coming

 

[Pakistani Pace]

Babar is as much as a joker as Hafeez is

 

[CricFan2012]

I can bat better than hafeez and I haven't ever held a bat in my life

 

[NauV]

Messing up the chase as expected . . Pakistan just don't know how to chase . . there is only one rule to chasing! DON'T GET STUCK! and Pakistan does that every single time . . and then they get out and its just the same story on repeat . .

 

[Square Drive]

This is painful to watch.

Next game, kick Azhar out and open with Hafeez & Fakhar. Bring Sarfraz up to #4.

Don't know what to say about Babar...

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

RR will increase and pak will mess up

 

[JibranAnsari]

We will be 100/7 after 30

 

[aabbasi]

Cann't believe the sort of cricket we are watching right now....

 

[Watsupdoc]

Almost throws it away...

 

[Syed1]

"Fakhar Zaman scored 31 off 23 balls... taking his score out, remaining players scored 30 runs in 79 balls... thats not even happening in test cricket this days.. this guys need to rotate strike..!!"

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Finally Babar gets into double figures,off 31 balls.

 

[Madplayer]

This is pathetic

 

[fasihulhaq94]

do they even know about the par dl score?

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Ok digging a hole now

 

[Ultimate]

I would rather prefer a hack who fits modern day cricket, than outdated batsmen like Hafeez.

 

[Pakistani Pace]

Babar is as much as a joker as Hafeez is

The sad thing is is that Babar actually has talent.

 

[Iffitheking]

This is demoralizing, imagine if SA would have scored around 250–270

 

[JibranAnsari]

This is painful to watch.

Next game, kick Azhar out and open with Hafeez & Fakhar. Bring Sarfraz up to #4.

Don't know what to say about Babar...

Babar needs to score or sit out for haris in the next match.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Babar should be dropped along with the others.He is too selfish

 

[Saeed]

Mashallah they just took 2 and then a legendary single.

 

[badsha001]

guys if we lose a wicket here, the par score goes up hahaha

 

[daytrader]

Babar is also very selfish

When you're surrounded with selfish players like Hafeez and Shehzad who continue to be in the top order regardless of their selfishness than what do you expect the influence to be on a youngster

 

[Pete Rose]

But that I am a fan of Malik but by the time he comes on to bat the spin overs and then he will do what he does vs pace

 

[smarmazhar]

Can Pak reach D/L score target of 70/2 by 20 overs..Need 2 more runs in 7 balls..im not hopeful though

 

[Ultimate]

For the next game;

Drop Hafeez for Haris.

Drop Azhar for Fahim.

Open with Sarfraz and Fakhar.

 

[Idreamofcricket]

RR creeping up to 5.

 

[Madplayer]

68 now. Just 2 runs needed for d/L par score lol

 

[prayas]

Who is playing bad this two or Moris

 

[Vorador]

Pathetic cricket. Babar will be Hafeez's legacy.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

10 runs off the over,absolute carnage.

 

[JaDed]

Only because Saffers on other side with ABD as captain still backing PCT would had defn backed Aus to win it from here.

Tahir oh my! The whole PCT can't make that effort wow.

 

[Madplayer]

72-2 in 19 phew

 

[Screopho]

Actually only 1 run needed to tie.

 

[Idreamofcricket]

For the next game;

Drop Hafeez for Haris.

Drop Azhar for Fahim.

Open with Sarfraz and Fakhar.

That's actually a VERY GOOD idea.. but unfortunately our management doesn't have the brains to see it.

 

[aloo paratha]

Surely nobody can defend babar and call him selfless now

 

[Pete Rose]

Morris look like a farmer from the Great Depression era

 

[prayas]

It's Tahir

 

[Sidilicious]

68 now. Just 2 runs needed for d/L par score lol

I think thats what they are playing for. They intend to be just above the DL score at all times.

 

[Watsupdoc]

Finally a streaky boundary!

Now they can tuk tuk all they want for the next over.

 

[shaz619]

The crowd have fired up Tahir am sure of it

 

[Zeshan547]

Ideal reward for the shameless tuk tuk should be that pak is 69 for 2 at end of 20, and lose by 1 run, but babar you ruined it you selfish beauty.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Thank the lord!

 

[Naim]

OMG OMG unbelieveble

 

[Ultimate]

Babar should be dropped along with the others.He is too selfish

Come on, the problem is his company. Batsmen like Hafeez and Azhar would make him look like selfish. Fakhar was brave enough to deal with his own terms.

 

[Rinnegan Sasuke]

Am I dreaming, did I just witness a boundary ??

 

[Syed1]

Finally a boundary from useless Babar

 

[Screopho]

Would be fun to see a wicket fall in the next over.

 

[Pakistani Pace]

yes this is good stuff now

 

[Square Drive]

Finally a

 

[SpiritOf1903]

The crowd have fired up Tahir am sure of it

Would be Pakistan, that

 

[JaDed]

Morris the most predictable bowler,another terrible over.

 

[prayas]

Safe

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Few more pls

 

[Madplayer]

Hafeez not been able to read tahir. Closè

 

[Pete Rose]

Finally a boundary

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Wide ball!

 

[Smbhayi]

What par score is if SA take a wicket?

 

[MMHS]

Ideally, PAK should calculate the DWL target with 3 wickets down scenario.

 

[Pete Rose]

Hafeez not been able to read tahir. Closè

Hafeez generally struggles against bowlers

 

[KingKhanWC]

What's the D/L score at present?

 

[Big Mac]

That looked out if it was pad first

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Tahir is very unlucky today .at least three wickets should have been down

 

[Pakistani Pace]

Babar is good. But Its The Tuk Tuk Thats Annoying me & many others such as [MENTION=138254]Syed1[/MENTION]

 

[Madplayer]

Bat involved. Babar is poor with googly

 

[Watsupdoc]

And now they can't even tuk tuk properly...

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Not given by the umpire

 

[JibranAnsari]

Looked out.

 

[QalandarFan]

How's the forecast? Any rain expected?

 

[Arham_PakFan]

O crap that looks out

 

[Mamoon]

Babar cannot play the google to save his life.

 

[Square Drive]

Just don't lose a wicket here...

 

[Madplayer]

Boy this is out

 

[Idreamofcricket]

I shouldn't be saying this.. but it is so dumb of ABD to not keep using Morkel for another 2-3 overs.. he is the only one our batsmen can't seem to bat well against. really really dumb.

 

[Big Mac]

What's the D/L score at present?

We're fine on DL atm but I think this is going to be out, so we might be behind soon
