ICC World Cup 2023: Pakistan v Sri Lanka | Match 8 | Hyderabad | 10 October | Sri Lanka Innings

[Devadwal]

Zaman khan is our next prospect. Ihansullah is hurt. Wasim jnr should have been picked but he also has issued off late.

Yes whoever is not playing match always be great prospects. Then why he is not playing if he is so great?

 

[160KPH]

I don't know why we always rush players. Could have picked anyone else and let him recover to full strength. No point in stressing his knee joint further.

I think part of the reason is that we have a lot of bowlers battling small injuries - Hasnain, Naseem, and Ihsanullah.

 

[aukhan]

Our bowling looks toothless. Naseem was becoming a potent fast bowler. Pakistan will miss him big time.

I don't have much hope now.

 

[Azzurri]

Our robotic stupid captain will go with said plan and Afridi will continue. Dumb

 

[Asad T]

Does the ball look like it will spin on this pitch?

Hasan inducing false shots, 3 really close opportunities for catches now

In the last match on this pitch (NZ vs Netherlands), Satner took 5 wickets & Netherlands spinners took 4
So I assume it will assist the spinners

 

[kron]

Yes whoever is not playing match always be great prospects. Then why he is not playing if he is so great?

I never said that did I? Shaheen clearly compromised. We should have picked someone else.

 

[hur rizvi]

The thing about Shaheen is he is a momentum bowler. If he has confidence and gets a couple wickets he can bowl a deadly spell and impose himself. Sometimes it just seems he gets too hard on himself, stiffens up, and his action becomes less fluid.

During these times, Babar should probably go and calm him down.

He has lost 10 kph of pace. Seems like he's not 100%

If he bowls like this against england or India he'll go for 10+ RPO

 

[160KPH]

Yes whoever is not playing match always be great prospects. Then why he is not playing if he is so great?

I agree, this is the best bowling attack we have given the injuries. Overall, our reserves are very very young, the next 2-3 years when they all come into their own will be peaking Pakistani bowling. Right now just need Shaheen to find some form.

 

[kron]

Our bowling looks toothless. Naseem was becoming a potent fast bowler. Pakistan will miss him big time.

I don't have much hope now.

Yea without naseem it just doesn't look the same.

 

[160KPH]

Yea without naseem it just doesn't look the same.

Naseem proves that line and length is what matters the most.

 

[aukhan]

Our robotic stupid captain will go with said plan and Afridi will continue. Dumb

Babar is not intelligent enough to strategize on the ground.

 

[Hitman]

Dropped

 

[BouncerGuy]

Drop man....dropppp....Imam what is that...

 

[Devadwal]

Dropped

 

[hur rizvi]

Wow just wow

 

[hamzie]

Pathetic fielding
Pathetic bowling
What is this

 

[kron]

I think part of the reason is that we have a lot of bowlers battling small injuries - Hasnain, Naseem, and Ihsanullah.

Husnain doesn't want to even play odi anymore.

 

[TheSultan]

Almost another gift wicket - cheers Imam

 

[imshally81]

Dropped

 

[Inswing]

What you have done Imam

 

[kingusama92]

Imam with a shocker

 

[topspin]

Imam the parchi has dropped it. "Automatic selection" my backside.

 

[aukhan]

Naseem proves that line and length is what matters the most.

and swing. Pace alone can not scare the batsmen at this level.

 

[DJhant]

Shaheen is making the intelligent change of pace...dropped !!!

 

[kron]

Naseem proves that line and length is what matters the most.

And speed. He has pace too.

 

[160KPH]

God damn it man, you can’t drop catches when your bowler is already struggling

 

[RehanG]

Imam is such a waste is field. Not able to make quick runs and this.

 

[Markhor]

That's a straight up dolly. No excuses.

 

[Rana]

These guys have lost the plot

 

[hamzie]

If Imam doesn't score big today drop him

 

[imshally81]

Better over by Shaheen

 

[Rana]

Nisanka is such a 90s opener

 

[160KPH]

I’d give Shaheen another over here

 

[topspin]

The question I have is why isn't Shadab fielding at point?

 

[VForVendetta]

Imam the goat opener just doing goat things.....

 

[kingusama92]

Looks even worse on the replay. He dropped a dolly

 

[aukhan]

If Imam doesn't score big today drop him

I think Abdullah will play after the India match.

 

[Devadwal]

Why is imam fielding at point? This is most important fielding position where best fielder should have placed.

 

[YousafTheBeast]

Shadab would’ve taken that blindfolded

 

[ChTab]

Looks like SL will finally win a game vs Pakistan in the WC.

 

[Rana]

Sri Lanka 2 sixes in the powerplay

 

[Inswing]

Our team is looking all over the place

 

[Asad T]

Another one

 

[Zerotohero]

Pitch absolutely looks brown from the stands. Spinner will have a field day
Some more observations Shaheen is looking in discomfort may be his knee

 

[Ahmed216]

Still can't forget fielding coach ask all Pak players to follow Imam's example in the field in one of the pcb YouTube vidoes

 

[kron]

Cmon how can you drop that. Such an easy catch.

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

Imam with belly fat does even look a sportsman. Guy is happy making useless fifties at sr 80

 

[mominsaigol]

Sri Lanka 2 sixes in the powerplay

Pakistan 0 sixes in the powerplay

 

[Rana]

Shaheen doesn’t know how to look after his body

 

[TheSultan]

Shaheen needs a break. Seriously. Looks out of sorts with the ball and in the field

 

[batandballbattle]

It's a pakistani custom to gift the opposition at least one drop

 

[vprasanna83]

What is this that I am seeing ? Both pakistani opening bowlers bowling at early 130 speeds ! Venkatesh Prasad must be grinning from ear to ear

 

[160KPH]

Shaheen is constantly holding that knee, doesn’t seem like it’s feeling fine

 

[kron]

Still can't forget fielding coach ask all Pak players to follow Imam's example in the field in one of the pcb YouTube vidoes

Why do we pay our fielding coach again? I guess we can't really blame him for that dolly drop but still our fielding is poor in general.

 

[mominsaigol]

Cmon how can you drop that. Such an easy catch.

Did imam drop the catch?

 

[mikeypbadana86]

Pathetic fielding
Pathetic bowling
What is this

Hardly been 7 overs into the game. with Harris,shadab and Nawaz yet to bowl Pakistan still can make come back.

 

[Devadwal]

Lol Rizwan

 

[ChTab]

Shadab would’ve taken that blindfolded

Totally, he's in the team only because of his fielding.

 

[Azzurri]

And these players cut cakes and celebrate mediocre wins against minnows every other day

 

[TheSultan]

Pakistan 0 sixes in the powerplay

It’s not important - accumulation is king

 

[kron]

What is this that I am seeing ? Both pakistani opening bowlers bowling at early 130 speeds ! Venkatesh Prasad must be grinning from ear to ear

Rauf will come soon.

 

[Rana]

Tbf Hassan is bowling really nice here

 

[kron]

Did imam drop the catch?

Yep lol
Hasan getting hit now.

 

[Ahmed216]

Will Babar drop his friend Imam after a guaranteed horror show in WC? Has already botched one WC in 2019

 

[Azzurri]

Make a freaking change of bowling dumb captain

 

[mrtaim3]

The question I have is why isn't Shadab fielding at point?

Thats what i was thinking. Normally you don't see fielders changing their position.

 

[topspin]

And these phuddu players cut cakes and celebrate mediocre wins against minnows every other day

A remnant of the Misbah era.

 

[boomboomcheema]

This is too easy batting without much trouble. Going against Pakistan .

 

[kron]

Imagine dropping a buttler, Smith, Warner like that. We can't drop dollies.

 

[Aviator]

Imam (A slip of paper) needs to be dropped.

 

[aukhan]

Pakistan 0 sixes in the powerplay

in 2023?

 

[NeVerMind]

It’s not important - accumulation is king

It also shows how a big a failure Fakhar has been as an opener...

 

[batandballbattle]

best fielder should have been in the point region - no ifs, no buts
not a big fan of shady for his other disciplines but if you're going to play him build a house for him in that area

 

[Rana]

This is a good move by Babar

 

[TheSultan]

The whole team looks very lacklustre. Maybe enjoying the Hyderabadi biryani too much

 

[imshally81]

Nawaz on

 

[chinaman00]

It's a pakistani custom to gift the opposition at least one drop

Famous Pakistani hospitality

 

[Ahmed216]

Such a good start for SL. All set for a good score.
Wellalage and theekshana will devour our scared kittens

 

[vprasanna83]

Rauf will come soon.

Well whatever . When was the last time your opening bowlers bowled like ours in the 90s ?

 

[ChTab]

SL will definitely score 350 plus here
