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

[shah_1]

Why Pakistani fans are always think that whoever is not selected is better player.this is best Pakistani team from available. Resources

Usama Mir is a better spinner for sure. He should be playing

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Six, real phainta

 

[castortroy]

Srilanka should get 340 here which is embarrassing for Pak.

Srilanka will get smashed by all the better teams

 

[heddie19]

Rauf need to Bowl more short delivery to new batsman

Short and gone for 6

 

[Devadwal]

Wow what a pull shot for six

 

[castortroy]

Honestly I think England or India will near 500 against this attack

 

[ahmadharis1]

There is another spinners on the bench .he can replace Shadab if they needed

Yeah I'd select both Usama Mir and Zafar Gohar over Shadab in a heartbeat

 

[imshally81]

Another following bouncer and dispatched for Six like last time

 

[Devadwal]

Short and gone for 6

I said to new batsman

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Rauf lol

 

[hamzie]

Game over

 

[castortroy]

400 on the cards

 

[imshally81]

Another Six

 

[RKhan_Cricket]

Suddenly the players which we didn't want are performing
And the players which we want are not performing

 

[aukhan]

Poor stuff this is...painful to watch. I need to focus on my work.

 

[Mankaded]

Rauf gives it his all but he doesn't learn. Once he has bowled a bouncer, don't bowl another one because the batsmen are expecting it. Did the same mistake against De Leede and NL tailenders, beating them with a surprise bouncer but then another bouncer and it goes for 6. He just doesn't learn at all.

Same thing again and again.

 

[ChTab]

Best bowling attack in the history of cricket

 

[BouncerGuy]

Haris is smashed all around the park. Pace won't work here.

 

[Snatch]

I might be wrong, but I don't think this Pakistan batting line-up is up to chasing 350. I feel their limit is around the 330-340 range. Unlike teams like India, SA, Australia or NZ on their day.

 

[m.shah]

poor bowling from haris

 

[lahoriyah1234]

This pitch is belter…I think we need to bowl well and keep srilanka to 310 and its chaseable

 

[Devadwal]

Yeh lo bhai, new batsman se bhi same result

It just a bad day for Rauf . nothing going his way

 

[karthikc]

Revamp this whole team after WC..there are many who are taking their spots for granted..and as an Indian I have one doubt..Why cant army take over PCB affairs especially the training and fitness of players??

 

[topspin]

Had South Africa beaten the Netherlands last year, Babar would've been sacked right after that tournament.

I knew that Pakistan making the final of last year's WT20 was always going to be a curse in disguise and hold us back for this WC.

 

[PakFan2010]

How does a top edge go for six?

Cricket bats are ridiculous.

 

[heddie19]

It just a bad day for Rauf . nothing going his way

And that is the best reply you have got now?

 

[kingusama92]

This is one of the most embarrassing bowling attacks PAK has taken to a WC. Even the good bowlers are hurt.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

CRR 7 now

 

[IAJ]

After the WC Pakistan will give chance to young boys against tough opposition and when they fail only once the selecotors will bring back the old TTFs for the next tournament

 

[Markhor]

Rauf keeps bowling short and SL batsmen keep depositing him into the stands.

SL looking good for 350.

 

[Snatch]

Weak bowling yes, but magnificent batting, must be said.

Rauf looks so fragile mentally.

 

[ahmadharis1]

this is what happens when you select ODI bowlers on the basis of a handful of T20s... poor management

 

[ex-q-zit]

Never been convinced by Haris in ODIs. His career economy rate is around 5.7 which is below average. He seems fit for 4 over games not 10 over ones.

 

[AAli98]

Come on Indians dig out some old anti India tweet from a current player put ‘em out of there misery

 

[Usman Chadda]

The bowling has been rubbish. Sri Lankan batsmen have been very conservative to be honest.

These bowlers have bowled both sides of the wicket.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

This pitch will spit, seam and turn once Pakistan bat.

I am sure.

 

[Adi_62945]

Revamp this whole team after WC..there are many who are taking their spots for granted..and as an Indian I have one doubt..Why cant army take over PCB affairs especially the training and fitness of players??

This has been happening since 2003. Now fed up from this revamping and rebuilding

 

[shah_1]

hahaha

Trolling now. Never liked Babar as a captain, he deserves this paintha. Clueless captain

 

[Ramsay]

Pakistan can chase this if they keep SL under 350.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Sri Lankan batters are playing with 140 and 150 strike rate and Pakistan is down under atm.

 

[Usman Chadda]

This pitch will spit, seam and turn once Pakistan bat.

I am sure.

Any half decent batting side should chase 350+ against this Sri Lankan bowling attack.

Pakistan is not a decent batting side, so nothing to do with the conditions to be honest.

 

[nish_mate]

I see Rauf getting Kohlied again, albeit by Lankans....

 

[castortroy]

They are all emotional bowlers.

Seriously Shadab bowling is becoming scandelous

 

[Ahmed216]

Unwatchable bowling from Rauf and Shadab

 

[karthikc]

hahaha

Trolling now. Never liked Babar as a captain, he deserves this paintha. Clueless captain

I am not trolling..It was a genuine doubt since that is one institution which at least has basic discipline in Pakistan

 

[IAJ]

Okey rubbish bowling, but this is also a good batting wicket. Calm down. Just need a wicket to break this partnership to slow down the RR.

 

[imshally81]

3rd boundary at same spot.. Bad bowling & captaincy

 

[BouncerGuy]

After 22 overs, 152/2 is the score for Sri Lanka.

 

[Ramsay]

What a poor year it’s been thus far for Shadab. Hope he comes good in the next crucial matches.

 

[Devadwal]

Babar will score daddy hundred and chase whatever target Lankan set .

 

[imshally81]

Where is iftikhar today?

 

[PakFan2010]

Sri Lanka on track for 400

 

[m.shah]

Bad bowling by vc

 

[IAJ]

Mendis averages only 33 with the bat. But of the late he has been in smashin form, it means he has been rubbish before this sudden rise?

 

[karthikc]

Babar will score daddy hundred and chase whatever target Lankan set .

Its not all over for Pakistan..but they seem lethargic

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Start with a boundary nawaz lol trademark

 

[zaidihusain]

Rauf has got lot of free hype & publicity in last 2 years without any substantial performance at international level. He is an average bowler and he should focus on his bowling skills & fitness. It is better if he stays away from media limelight.

 

[ahmadharis1]

Support this team through this world cup but after we get eliminated we need to revamp this ODI team. Babar, Rizwan, Saud, and Shaheen are the only automatic picks but everyone else needs to go back and earn their spot. In an ideal world nobody makes the ODI/Test team based on PSL performances, only on domestic 50 over/First class experience

 

[aukhan]

Where is iftikhar today?

Our genius captain has forgotten about him.

 

[heddie19]

How does a top edge go for six?

Cricket bats are ridiculous.

Ground is very small from one side but the question is who can bat like this from our team?

 

[imshally81]

Who is more useless

Nawaz or Shadab

 

[YousafTheBeast]

Imam owes us whatever Mendis scores, anything less and it should be a concussion replacement.

 

[Devadwal]

Its not all over for Pakistan..but they seem lethargic

Emotional fan's still 78 over game left but they are panicking

 

[heddie19]

Shaheen?

 

[karthikc]

Shaheen?

Yeah..his fitness raises questions now

 

[imshally81]

Seems plumb if no bat involved

 

[castortroy]

You look at India spinners, Ashwin, jadeja and Kuldeep.

They would suffocate Srilanka during this period

 

[Azzurri]

Why did they even select Fakhar if they were going to drop him after 1 game? Saim could have been selected. And God knows what is Agha, Nawaz, Wasim Jnr and Shadab doing in this squad.

 

[Snatch]

Rauf keeps bowling short and SL batsmen keep depositing him into the stands.

SL looking good for 350.

Yeah 350 feels too much for Pakistan they need to restrict SL to <330

The bowling has been rubbish. Sri Lankan batsmen have been very conservative to be honest.

These bowlers have bowled both sides of the wicket.

That's what pressure does. SL's approach and thrown Pakistan off their plans.

 

[castortroy]

Yeah..his fitness raises questions now

Very overhyped bowler

 

[Devadwal]

Seems plumb if no bat involved

Missing leg

 

[vprasanna83]

Does Nawaz even try to spin the ball ?

 

[aukhan]

Nawaz and Shadab are the two liabilities we need to discard for good.

 

[hamzie]

How are they scoring boundaries in the same place
Does no one know fielding placement

 

[Adi_62945]

Who call them spinners.

 

[Devadwal]

SL 166/2 in 23 over .

 

[Mohraheem]

Where is iftikhar today?

We don’t need him

 

[imshally81]

Missing leg

Yes... Unfortunately

 

[PakFan2010]

Imagine picking 2 spinners like Shadab and Nawaz. Neither is a frontline spinner.

 

[castortroy]

This tournament should end the careers for a few.

Shadab will be dropped. I'm pretty sure India will make sure of it

Nawaz career will also be ended.

Hopefully babar days as captain will finally come to an end
