Vital wicket!

 

[ExpressPacer]

Can you name some?

Sohail Khan.

 

[angrypathan]

[MENTION=138980]TalentSpotterPk[/MENTION] still think Fahim should've played?

 

[Mamoon]

A rare display of poor judgement by Amla. Fluke wicket, nothing special about the delivery.

 

[Syed1]

...weren't you a huge fan of him until just recently

Are you crazy or what? I was never a HUGE fan of anyone other than the team.

 

[Galla]

Imad gets the big wicket.will be a key today

 

[kingusama92]

 

[CricVet]

Imad attacked stumps and rewarded. This is something our fast bowlers do not do often. Who changed the philosophy, I have no idea.

 

[Commander]

A rare display of poor judgement by Amla. Fluke wicket, nothing special about the delivery.

Probably doesnt know how Imad skids the ball back in

 

[Syed1]

Sohail Khan.

So one bowler will replace two....

 

[GLORY OF '92]

3 more needed soon

 

[KingKhanWC]

Looking a lot better today .

One more quick wicket needed!

 

[Saeed]

Amla . Not a big deal, South Africa has long batting line.

 

[angrypathan]

A rare display of poor judgement by Amla. Fluke wicket, nothing special about the delivery.

Well a left arm darter can never really bowl a special delivery, getting it in line with the stumps is about as special as they can get it, and he did his job well there

 

[ExpressPacer]

Are you crazy or what? I was never a HUGE fan of anyone other than the team.

It was probably [MENTION=137148]Rayyman[/MENTION] then.

 

[jadaja]

These white kookaburra balls need to be banned, If new balls are not swinging then what options do the bowlers have on these flat pitches.

Noone is complaining about these pitches being so flat in every match, if England did not have strong batting line up they would be more juice on these pitches.

 

[MRSN]

A rare display of poor judgement by Amla. Fluke wicket, nothing special about the delivery.

This wicket will prove to be costly for Pak like Wahab's spell against Watson.

 

[Mp812]

A rare display of poor judgement by Amla. Fluke wicket, nothing special about the delivery.

A wkt is wkt....it means a batter is back in hut for opposition.

 

[ExpressPacer]

A rare display of poor judgement by Amla. Fluke wicket, nothing special about the delivery.

Probably hasn't done his homework on Imad. Imad is somewhat of a threat to batsmen who haven't played him before.

 

[Syed1]

This wicket will prove to be costly for Pak like Wahab's spell against Watson.

This is still just his first over. He has nine more to go and still be blasted out of the ground.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Good over by Imad

 

[Mamoon]

It has not been wasted at all, show me one match where any bowler has taken wickets in their opening spell.Except Ronchi who got out first ball opening batsmen have not been in lot of trouble. Ronchi missed a straight ball.

Yeah, no pacer has taken a wicket in his opening spell in this Champions Trophy in a parallel universe.

 

[The Yorker]

great start by Imad

 

[Markhor]

That's how Imad takes his wickets, straight darts with no turn getting mainly LBWs and bowleds, and batsmen who haven't worked him out yet playing across the line.

 

[ExpressPacer]

I may be wrong but I've always been concerned about the legality of Imad's action.

 

[angrypathan]

Hafeez into the attack

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Hafeez into the attack

 

[Syed1]

Despite not finding boundaries and also losing a wicket Saffers are playing faster than what we do on a good day.

 

[yasir]

This is a very good wicket, Amla was one of their best player against spin, got out early!!

Hafeez should attack De Kock, what is the other purpose of playing him

 

[CricVet]

Another day for the pitch and the bowler. Imad may enjoy the pitch today who knows.

 

[Rayyman]

It was probably [MENTION=137148]Rayyman[/MENTION] then.

No

 

[ExpressPacer]

This is still just his first over. He has nine more to go and still be blasted out of the ground.

Imad is one of the most economical bowlers we have. The only reason he was blasted out of the ground last match was because he was asked to bowl in the death overs. No spinner can bowl in the death overs. His figures were pretty good until that over.

 

[Markhor]

These white kookaburra balls need to be banned, If new balls are not swinging then what options do the bowlers have on these flat pitches.

Noone is complaining about these pitches being so flat in every match, if England did not have strong batting line up they would be more juice on these pitches.

Should use Dukes.

Or at least one new Kookaburra ball so you get reverse. With two Kookaburra balls there's no conventional or reverse.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Hahahah what was that

 

[ExpressPacer]

No

You even had his photo as your avatar

 

[Syed1]

No

Yes don't lie in Ramzaan you are and were a big fan of Maddy lmao

 

[Pollack]

Classic Amir spell so far. Economical, but zero threat to the batsman.

True.

 

[The Yorker]

We need dome more fluke wickets

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Does imad chucks?

 

[Markhor]

Well that just about sums up Hafeez's current state.

 

[Mamoon]

Faf has one ugly back-lift and bat-swing.

 

[Syed1]

Wouldn't have been better to attack a new batsman with pace???

 

[imshally81]

Not a ideal line by M Hafeez..

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Misfield by Hasan Ali.

 

[aloo paratha]

So much hate for imad, uncalled for really... He's had a couple of bad matches but he has potential to be a good #6 for us.

 

[ExpressPacer]

Yes don't lie in Ramzaan you are and were a big fan of Maddy lmao

thanks for the support

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

SA chocking for 350

 

[Mamoon]

Cricket is a cruel game. A batsman of the caliber of Amla has been dismissed by a clown like Imad.

 

[Rayyman]

Wth is that Hafeez bhai

 

[Syed1]

thanks for the support

I got you fam

 

[Zeshan547]

This hassan guy is very quick and athletic but has oil on his or holes can't catch a ball properly even if his life depends on it.

 

[jnaveen1980]

They have to keep picking up the wickets.

 

[imshally81]

Imad just justify his selection in playing XI..

 

[Rayyman]

Immmaaaddeee

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Predicted score is 301

 

[Saeed]

Does imad chucks?

His action does look suspicious, hopefully he will get investigated and banned.

 

[imshally81]

Wth is that Hafeez bhai

I think M Hafeez wants a captainship..

 

[JibranAnsari]

Pakistan with their boring apin strategy

 

[Pollack]

His action does look suspicious, hopefully he will get investigated and banned.

Why do yo want him banned. He is not a useless player.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Ahmed Shehzad is the substitute fielder...and he misfields.

 

[imshally81]

His action does look suspicious, hopefully he will get investigated and banned.

His action is clean...

 

[JibranAnsari]

If babar fails in the ct , he should be kicked out until he improves hia fielding.

 

[Zeshan547]

Shezzy can't get a break, qismat hath dho k pechay Pari hai

 

[jadaja]

Yeah, no pacer has taken a wicket in his opening spell in this Champions Trophy in a parallel universe.

Go and look every match score card there is no wickets for any bowler in early overs. Dekock fell in 12th over , 1st 56 12.0 4.66 Soumya Sarkar (28)
1st 40 5.4 7.05 MJ Guptill (26)
1st 44 12.1 3.61 Q de Kock (23)

New ball bowlers are hardly picking any wickets. There is no fall of second wicket before tenth over in any match.

Your expectations are bit too high and unreasonable.

 

[kingusama92]

Shahzad making his presence felt.

 

[Cricketfan2016]

Shehzad bhai

 

[TalentSpotterPk]

[MENTION=138980]TalentSpotterPk[/MENTION] still think Fahim should've played?

I am happy for Imad aswell as Pakistan. That was a key wicket. When Imad's drifter is released well than he delivers. That is his inswinger. At other times he goes for plenty.

So I am glad that he is bowling well and its coming out well.


If he bats well than we won't miss Fahim. If he doesn't bat well than we will miss Fahim.


Imad was the best batsman vs England in England Lasy year. That is what is required of him. He needs to be consistent.

 

[Rayyman]

Cmon Rambo. Shehzad and Hasan are the fittest in the team.

 

[Big Mac]

That's unplayable, loving his new action.

 

[IndYeah1]

Poor captaincy. Pak needs to dry up the singles.

 

[MRSN]

Cricket is a cruel game. A batsman of the caliber of Amla has been dismissed by a clown like Imad.

It truly is. Ruined my day. Now I will see more swagger from this overrated nothing player.

 

[yasir]

We have been talking about Pakistani fielding for 70 years, talk about deaf ears, we have the best one :

 

[imshally81]

Decent start by Pakistan..

 

[JibranAnsari]

Fakhar with a misfield now.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Another misfield,this time by Fakhar.

 

[kingusama92]

Zaman showing Shahzad he's better.

 

[sshakir411]

Need to keep it tight...to many soft runs being given away

 

[yasir]

Pakistan is again loosing it on field, this is a big downer, it drains the team

 

[JibranAnsari]

By the end of this innings pakistan will have given 30 in miafields.

 

[Saeed]

Why do yo want him banned. He is not a useless player.

What is he going to do if he can't bowl because of chuking? His batting is average.
