[MenInG]

So here we are!

Wonder how seriously England will treat this but am guessing Pakistan will be keen to see how SSA performs.

They are in different groups.

I think ICC decides which teams play warm up matches.I could be wrong.Why is Pakistan
playing a warm up match with Afghanistan?.

Got it! This means Shan is playing Oct-23rd game

 

[Kianig89]

Eng vs Pak on a different territory now @Gabba

 

[JibranAnsari]

babar seems ok with australian wickets , lets see how rizwan does.

 

[Kianig89]

Hopefully Moyo and Hayden will guide them but they cant bat for them

 

[Kianig89]

One thing for sure as a batsman you have to be brave on these wickets and as a bowler get your lengths right otherwise

 

[Suleiman]

Who the hell decided to play England again for warm up! Didn't we just playa a bazillion T20s already? Should play most of non regular players. We don't want to get exhausted by these warm ups!

As long as it’s a quality side, it’s all good. These are the batsmen our bowlers should worry about the most other than the Aussies, Indians and Miller + Russow.

Plus a nice and easy halwa attack minus Wood to get our batsmen’s confidence up and running.

 

[Suleiman]

No.

Not good at all. Still can’t believe PCB had zero foresight to have Shan’s replacement arranged knowing Fakhar isn’t fully fit yet.

How stupid can you be in seeing this after last series that Shan is not good enough. Could’ve easily gotten any other batsmen to replace him before the Oct 15 deadline.

 

[Kianig89]

Do Pakistan has natural stroke players apart from Babar I can't see anyone, would be very tough

 

[ammar_merry]

who the hell decided to play england again for warm up! Didn't we just playa a bazillion t20s already? Should play most of non regular players. We don't want to get exhausted by these warm ups!

icc. They cant have warm up matches in same group.

 

[Hextro]

Looks like Babar and Rizwan are resting.

 

[MenInG]

Match: England won the toss and elected to bowl

 

[Sher Khan]

Is the match being televised?

 

[IAJ]

Will Shan and Haris open then? will be alot of short pitched balls here

 

[MenInG]

Pak team

 

[IAJ]

Is the match being televised?

Yes.

 

[Hextro]

Is the match being televised?

Yes

 

[PakPremi]

So wishes of many posters answered today, hopefully less rona dhona if Teams does nit score much. Interesting to see who will take the responsibilty of big inning today.

 

[IAJ]

Lol they are showing Adil Rasheed in Pakistan squad )

 

[TheSultan]

Looks like Babar and Rizwan are resting.

Does this match have official status? If not, why would Riz and Babar play? It won’t count towards stats

 

[Rana]

So the stats don’t count, hence we see some players being rested

 

[Rana]

Does this match have official status? If not, why would Riz and Babar play? It won’t count towards stats

That’s probably the reason

No stats to play for

 

[Rana]

So wishes of many posters answered today, hopefully less rona dhona if Teams does nit score much. Interesting to see who will take the responsibilty of big inning today.

Yep

Play 99.9% of your games in the build up to this with one strategy

Now blame them if they fail on the 11th hour and that too in a friendly

 

[Sports_Psychologist]

Lol they are showing Adil Rasheed in Pakistan squad )

Hahaha i noticed the same thing, may be it was based on his performance in recent t20 series against Pakistan

 

[alone1213]

I think the goat the legend khushdil Shah will show his talent today and will smash 20 ball fifty.

 

[MenInG]

ICC showing:

 

[Rana]

England rested all of its key players in the Pakistan series

Pakistan resting it’s key players on the eve of the tournament

 

[Kianig89]

Rauf still playing is he a machine Babar and Rizwan resting

 

[Kianig89]

So wolloongabba test skipped by RizBar

 

[SamNJ]

Why would you rest when these are the only games in these conditions you get to play.

 

[Rana]

Anyone can open

 

[Ashmal]

Stokes bowling the 1st over.....Eng clearly not taking it seriously

 

[Rana]

Great start

 

[Rana]

Not bad Shani

 

[lontje]

Do these warm up games count towards player team stats or not official?

 

[Rana]

Go on Haider pel de Curran ko

 

[Omer2002]

all 15 players in squad can bowl and bat so no stats

 

[PakPremi]

Rauf still playing is he a machine Babar and Rizwan resting

Rauf rested couple of matches.

 

[Rana]

Do these warm up games count towards player team stats or not official?

It doesn’t

 

[Rana]

This is actually very good Masood

 

[Ashmal]

Good start from Shan

 

[Rana]

Man is lifting the ball over the infield

I don’t think I have seen this for 2 years by Pakistani openers

 

[SamNJ]

Shan good off backfoot. Will like it in Australia.

 

[heddie19]

Where is Babar Azam?

 

[Rana]

Haider much more suited to open

 

[Sports_Psychologist]

excellent batting by Shan Bradman. wonder who will give his place for him.

 

[Rana]

Where is Babar Azam?

Resting

And watching Masood create a problem for him in selection

 

[TheSultan]

haider playing the short ball much better than the series in pak. Clearly been working with yousuf on footwork. He’s moving back and across quite well

 

[Rana]

He’s striking at 200!

 

[PakPremi]

Stokes got away with 2 no balls , otherwise the opening over would had cost even more. Good of Pakistan to try Shan as opener to look at this option and hopefully drop Babar to one down.

 

[Rana]

Love this!!

 

[TheSultan]

Pakistan finally playing the powerplay as it should be played

 

[Rana]

Cheetah Haider!!!

 

[PakPremi]

Pakistan missed Stokes and Jordon in the last series

 

[Ashmal]

Haider looks a different player after that NZ game

 

[Rana]

INDIA staying back to watch the Pakistan game

Respect

 

[PakPremi]

Why are there two English umpires?

 

[Rana]

Wow wow wow

This is a phenomenal start’

 

[SamNJ]

INDIA staying back to watch the Pakistan game

Respect

They would want to watch Shaheen.

 

[Rana]

Slot ball missed

 

[TheSultan]

What happened - aren’t we supposed to be 20-3 right now?

 

[Rana]

Come on Haider Pull wood for a huge six boy!

 

[world cup captain]

If we're opening with these guys, having these guys now makes sense. Otherwise, why are Riz and Babar not playing? They haven't played in Australia for a couple of years now.

 

[Ashmal]

Haider needs to be smart against Wood

 

[Fazzy321]

Shah Masood giving us false hope by performing in no pressure game
