We dont have luxury of players who can power hitting like SA or build innings like Indians. We are mostly just just trying to to hope and pray someone clicks.babar has to score a bit more freely until he settles down.
There is only 1 sher left and he has come out to bat. Pakistan's fortunes depends on him now.meh, 3 down. Not a problem.
Another 6 shers await . . . .
Why do you two hate each otherGut feeling
Pray you said? It's called Qudrat Ka NizamWe dont have luxury of players who can power hitting like SA or build innings like Indians. We are mostly just just trying to to hope and pray someone clicks.
That's what Pakistan cricket does to you....turns brother against brother!Why do you two hate each other
Coetzee celebrates every wicket like that to he honest even when he bowls out Haris Rauf you’re gonna see a celebrationPoor from Rizwan. That shot wasn’t on.
The way SA celebrated said it all. He was the only batsman they feared.
Rizwan should have done better.
Will there be dew later on?So far there is no real turn on the offer despite the dryness. May get difficult as the game goes on.
No. If at all there is dew that will be after 35th over or so. But very rare chennai gets any dew.Will there be dew later on?
Yes, and the pitch gets better to bat under lights.Will there be dew later on?
I don't hate him, I actually like him, he serves as a reminder to me that life could be worse, a lot worse!Why do you two hate each other
Remebr when Pakistan used to send Abdul Razzak one/two down when wickets fell quickly to go there and block until the last few overs in the 90s? This is throwback to that....Everyone knows Iftikhar can't rotate so what was his purpose
All teams are scared of inserting SA in due to their recent totals.Why did babar decide to bat first?
They are awful at setting targets and recent success has been batting 2nd
The think tank in pak is horrendous
It’s because South Africa has an insane record when batting first in recent times, but have been vulnerable when chasing. Including against Netherlands.Why did babar decide to bat first?

Weird he is. He will get tonked by someone soon. Enjoying the novelty factor.Coetzee celebrates every wicket like that to he honest even when he bowls out Haris Rauf you’re gonna see a celebration
It's not the toss decision, the pitch is fine for batting. Just a mix of poor shot selection and lack of intent.Why did babar decide to bat first?

Forget about SA. You play to your strengths. Pakistan have always been awful at setting targets v good teams and now they don't have the bowlers to defendIt’s because South Africa has an insane record when batting first in recent times, but have been vulnerable when chasing. Including against Netherlands.
Yeah he adds some fun, kinda like those crazy Imran Tahir celebrationsWeird he is. He will get tonked by someone soon. Enjoying the novelty factor.
Fair but the like you said we don’t have good bowlers. The alternative could also be SA smashing 400 and batting us out of the game right away.Forget about SA. You play to your strengths. Pakistan have always been awful at setting targets v good teams and now they don't have the bowlers to defend
Theyr not playing to there strength scared SA might bat them out of the game so took the safe optionWhy did babar decide to bat first?

Lol so annoying and with waqar also commentating my ears are bleeding lolWho is that with this annoying shout???? Looks like screaming for help !
We can't use that as an excuse. Even if crowd is against us and hurling abuse, we must learn to negate that effect and perform.Good to hear support in the crowd for Babar.
Because they knew they couldn't chase 400 which is what would have happened if we bowled first (if you think our bowling couldn't get worse, Wasim Jnr is back!)...batting first, at least we can set some sort of target and hope the Saffers self destruct like they sometimes do....it's basically Saffers Vs themselves when they bat secondWhy did babar decide to bat first?

Yes, so dont take it so emotionally. Believe me if you guys have experienced 1996 QF and 1999 WC final, it is just time to relax. We need to accept the fact that we are good ODI team who does terrible in WC. Same like NZ is not a top team but in WC they just crank it up.That's what Pakistan cricket does to you....turns brother against brother!
Weren't you literally suggesting the other day for Ifti to open or something mad like that? Don't be a hypocrite.Saud at 6
What’s the point?
Abdullah isnt bad you do need one solid batter at the top but we need an aggressor with him like saim so imam has to goChacha is fine, don't be overly critical of him. He's medicore but he's the only batsmen in the squad who plays for the team and does his best to attack and play to modern standards.
And tbf rizzu's innings today wasn't bad. He got put but he was trying.
Abdullah and imam are 2 clowns I hate. Imam especially but Abdullah is someone I clearly shouldn't have backed. Massive mistake made.
103 in 20, old school style
I think saud might play a little better if the pressure is taken off by seniors.Weren't you literally suggesting the other day for Ifti to open or something mad like that? Don't be a hypocrite.
We need to post 300 plus and see what happens..Forget about SA. You play to your strengths. Pakistan have always been awful at setting targets v good teams and now they don't have the bowlers to defend
For sure, it wasn't an excuse or criticism.We can't use that as an excuse. Even if crowd is against us and hurling abuse, we must learn to negate that effect and perform.
To put the pressure back on the opposition. It's obvious with the shot selection from everyone but Babar that they've agreed on going much harder.Everyone knows Iftikhar can't rotate so what was his purpose
Ifti to open..Weren't you literally suggesting the other day for Ifti to open or something mad like that? Don't be a hypocrite.
Babar is a nice guy man.good player. Lot of Indians like him. I know several who rate rizwan alot.For sure, it wasn't an excuse or criticism.
Just a general observation.
They are 3 down with not much to come against a team that has slaughtered attacks, let them play.
We'll be lucky if we score 280...the only big hitter we have is already out there and won't last long...doesn't have the capacity to score a quick fire 50, let alone 100, like the big hitters of other teams....We need to post 300 plus and see what happens..
Shamsi is onCatching up on the game now and it appears Imam got out his usual nicking fashion for the nth time.
Anyway, time to shine for Ifti. He should enjoy SA bowling and its good to see him come over Saud.
Shamsi can be the danger.
If Pak bowled first, people would have complained that why give SA chance to bat first knowing Pak are bad chasers. Point is SA is better team. Babar and Ifti chacha needs to play out of their skin and put 320 on board and we will see glorious Pak win.Forget about SA. You play to your strengths. Pakistan have always been awful at setting targets v good teams and now they don't have the bowlers to defend
Frankly, Misbah has a point. we cant score before 40th over, period. After Saeed Anwar, our batting never picked up.103 in 20, old school style
Two players that are weak against spin at the crease.Maharaja is toothless. Why is he using up all the overs of him right now? Pitch will get slower later.
two players who need to stay on wicket till 40th over. then it wouldnt matter whos bowling.Two players that are weak against spin at the crease.
