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

[super hitter]

noooooooooooooooooooo

 

[I Believe in the Teesra]

Azhar Ali playing like [MENTION=46929]shaz619[/MENTION] used to in PPCL

Selfish cricketer!

 

[Hawkeye]

Fakhar gave us a good start good performance today.

He however still has issues against pace and bounce. But, has improved a lot from the last time I saw him.

 

[Watsupdoc]

Azhar Ali )

What was that?

 

[Madplayer]

Azhar ali should also be dropped forever just like shehzad and wahab : azhar

 

[Syed1]

PP experts are having an awful day today

 

[Ameer]

WTH azharrr
Never been a limited over batsman

 

[Da_Future_Knick]

Pakistan has to make a mess of this

 

[Square Drive]

Wicket has fallen, and now onus is on Azhar to pick up the pace and ensure things don't start slowing down from here.

 

[Zeshan547]

Just speechless. Azhar take a bow.

 

[super hitter]

Hahahahhaha, [MENTION=107807]Pete Rose[/MENTION]

it will be big even if we win....I'm still a rookie, have to admit

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Awful from azhar. What a terrible ODI batsman

 

[Black Zero]

Azhar is the problem.
Kills momentum

and keeps other players off the strike for long period.

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Another wicket!!!!

 

[Syed1]

Azhar Ali

 

[Saeed]

Pakistan back under pressure and all this because of Azhar.

 

[Hiraeth]

Choke coming from Pakistan.

 

[Square Drive]

And he's

What the heck?

 

[zn426]

Now momentum swinging back to SA. Sarfraz should bring himself on, him and Babar will be able to chase the target.

 

[dauntless]

Yeahhhh! Morne!!! Way to gooo!!

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Good for Pak that azhar gone.

 

[bluevision]

First Amla now Tahir

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Damn

Collapse incoming

 

[Vorador]

Guess who's choking now

 

[sehwag fan]

Hit and miss 30 runs where he should have been out 3 times is a better batsman than azhar Ali. .only Pakistan fans feel this lol

 

[MMHS]

Thanks you Azhar Ali - played his quota innings against IND, for the year ............

 

[Pakpak]

Great shot Azhar ) that's like a big back hand thapar on the haters the way he swerved, like TISH! TISH! TAKE THAT!

Tish tish to your face now I guess?

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

With a line-up like Pakistan's, I'll take this right now.

Oh so i would i looking exclusively at this squad

But azhar has no future in this format, many people ( not you) defend him blindly purely because he was Misbah's chosen one.

Now he is gone 9 from 22

 

[t_kaay]

Nasser Hussain called that on commentary a few overs ago.....he said you need a good catcher at 3rd man cos azhar will be upper cutting it down there......

 

[BleedGreen]

lol azhar

 

[-=Umair=-]

Lord MoHa On The Strike

 

[Ameer]

Fakhar gave me courage to start posting on commentry threads ,After following for more than two years

And guess what azhar ruined it :/

 

[Square Drive]

Unacceptable from Azhar, gets out at the worse time. Should get the chop ASAP, thought it'll probably require another failure against SL.

Hafeez has to open next game.

 

[HeavenOrHell]

Hafeez on for the tuks tuks! Keeping Misbah legacy alive.

 

[yasir]

There is a reason Azhar must go, he played nothing innings, dot after dot and then got out anyway, What is the point of such gutless, heart less nothing players?? :

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

Hit and miss 30 runs where he should have been out 3 times is a better batsman than azhar Ali. .only Pakistan fans feel this lol

Yeah in odis any slogger would be better than azhar

 

[Boi]

Rameez comes in and we lose 2 wickets. Now hes talking

 

[Rayyman]

Just needed to tuk tuk. Didn't expect that from Azhar. Good partnership would've been handy.

Anyways, Babar and Hafeez should put on a stand here.

 

[QalandarFan]

Whoa this is getting out of hand from 40/0 you can't just go 41/2.

 

[ExpressPacer]

Another wicket here and Pakistan have lost this.

 

[coy0607]

time to take a little break from the inevitable 12 off 25 start from Hafeez .. hopefully the atrocity that is Hafeez's batting wont last too long

 

[dauntless]

Brilliant bowler!!

 

[Square Drive]

Oh so i would i looking exclusively at this squad

But azhar has no future in this format, many people ( not you) defend him blindly purely because he was Misbah's chosen one.

Now he is gone 9 from 22

Completely agree.

He has no business in LOIs whatsoever and the sooner Arthur realizes this the better.

Mickey has gotten rid of Shehzad and I'm confident he'll chop Azhar soon too.

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Come on morkel.Do Some yorker.

 

[gishy]

Well well well...2 wickets gone in a flash...what do we have here..

 

[BleedGreen]

Drop azhar man!

 

[pak4life]

Azhar just not a ODI player. He hit a boundary and then was happy to block the next three balls. That shot he got out to just didn't look natural to him.

 

[Pete Rose]

low scoring total, not much pressure, malik and hafeez are experts at this.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Azhar Ali's wicket doesn't even count so it's fine

 

[boomboom6]

Fakhar should be given a long rope just like Sharjeel was, he is going to deliver. And lets hope Sharjeel is cleared soon so that he can join Fakhar in opening!

 

[BleedGreen]

What the heck is hafeez doing

 

[super hitter]

And he says Hafeez is good against pace...What a .....

 

[DoosraTeesra]

Azhar is pathetic

 

[dauntless]

Kagiso should bowl more aggressively!!

 

[Mamoon]

I'm expecting a 70 (100) type innings by Hafeez today, with Pakistan limping over the finish-line. Basically a repeat of the second ODI in Australia earlier this year. Small but tricky run chases are often within his reach, even against decent opposition.

A proven failure in tournaments though, so let's see if that will cause his downfall today.

 

[QalandarFan]

RRR is only 4.2 still looks easy, unless we lose another wicket.

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

Completely agree.

He has no business in LOIs whatsoever and the sooner Arthur realizes this the better.

Mickey has gotten rid of Shehzad and I'm confident he'll chop Azhar soon too.

Most of all though we have to get rid of professor

 

[Rayyman]

Azhar should've scored a bit more. At least he played out the new ball. No chance of swing for the next 20 overs.

 

[super hitter]

Win predictor has not seen Pakistan over the years...

 

[QalandarFan]

Hopefully once I return at lunch we are in a much better position.

 

[KingKhanWC]

These batsmen just don't have a brain, surely they must have learnt from Miller?

 

[saabir]

Here comes the epic tuk tuk of hafeez

 

[WC-Passion]

Nasser firing shots

 

[Zeshan547]

Jb taiz khelna hota hai Tb tuk tuk krtay and now when you need the tuk tuk they are going crazy, this team is beyond words.

Id rather we loose than professor score a slow 70. He is the biggest issue in the lineup, his selfishness makes him worse than azhar

 

[imshally81]

Maiden over..

 

[super hitter]

You looser, Hafeez....The new tuk tuk man

 

[KhalidRafi]

Time for Hafeez to step-up and play an innings like he played against Australia. We were also chasing 220 odd in that match

 

[BleedGreen]

Azhars weird in LOI

 

[DonJee]

atleast rotate the strike man!!!

i'd take a limp over the line right now, Hafeez looks like he's in the mood to transform this pitch into a minefield.

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Hafeez maiden

 

[HeavenOrHell]

Hafeez - the real Misbah legacy holder!

 

[Pete Rose]

hafeez is in his elements

 

[Ameer]

That evil smile after playing a dot
Hafeez you beauty

 

[Mamoon]

Id rather we loose than professor score a slow 70. He is the biggest issue in the lineup, his selfishness makes him worse than azhar

I'm worried about Hafeez bagging the MoM award today if he scores a 50 and we win. It will be enough to take national treasure to the World Cup, maybe even as captain.

 

[Saeed]

Hafeez should be dropped too. Is he really expecting Azhar's approach to work?

 

[Hiraeth]

What the hell is percentage cricket?

 

[Square Drive]

Most of all though we have to get rid of professor

Honestly I'd much rather Professor open with Fakhar if and only if he can prove to be useful with the ball every game. That's the best option for now, though if Professor fails in 4-5 consecutive games, then I'd call up Umar Amin and if not him, then Sahibzada Farhan.
