ICC World Cup 2023: Pakistan vs Netherlands | Match 2 | Hyderabad | 06 October | Pakistan innings

[Sherazkhalid]

Almost out first ball, damn.

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

brave move by Netherland !!

 

[Rana]

Fakhar hates off spin

 

[Ahmed216]

Fakhar lol so circumspect. Yaar just stop playing cricket

 

[IAJ]

Qualifying for the semis could come down to NRR, need a big win here.

The captain indicated 290 would be a good score, not exactly RR he is having in mind.

 

[Rana]

Where’s the sold out crowd as Babar claimed?

 

[Energy]

If Shadab is in form this is the best available XI. This game is important for him as we can't afford to keep carrying him as a passenger anymore.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

5 dot ball, well we ain't making 350.

 

[ExpressPacer]

Fakhar should be able to minnow bash his way into form.

 

[Omer2002]

Great maiden so far and fakhar running like a rabbit..which professional does that

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

First 4

 

[Devadwal]

Its fakhar day

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

Where’s the sold out crowd as Babar claimed?

BCCI stopped people on the way @Major

 

[Rana]

3 boundaries on the trott by Fakhar

 

[boomboomcheema]

Yes keep those runs coming.

 

[ExpressPacer]

These pitches and outfields look so batter friendly. A bit of a shame since it kills any chance of an even contest between bat and ball.

 

[YousafTheBeast]

Van Der Merwe to get a fifer

 

[SpiritOf1903]

Intriguing opening salvo

 

[IAJ]

5 dot ball, well we ain't making 350.

oh lol, apne emotions pay qaboo pao, bhai

 

[Rana]

Rameez is very nervous for Pakistan here

 

[heddie19]

444

 

[pratiktc]

Just get to 170 in 30 ovs without fuss and double up.

Knock out Ned with Shaheen's new ball burst and 2 points + healthy NRR.

No need to aim too high in first 30

 

[Rana]

Pakistan need 350+

 

[Galla]

spinner chucking

 

[SpiritOf1903]

DUTT balls

 

[Rana]

Dutt bowling beautifully here

 

[SpiritOf1903]

spinner chucking

Hmm borderline

 

[Rana]

spinner chucking

No I don’t think so

 

[160KPH]

Solid bowling by Dutt

 

[Rana]

2 runs in 3rd over

 

[SpiritOf1903]

If struggle against Dutch spin then SL and India will eliminate them

At least Shafique shown intent!

 

[Rana]

Slow bouncer at 81mph Ramiz?

 

[sam_ahm]

Lol, another empty stadium.

 

[Rana]

Man why is Rameez whinging so much?

 

[NeVerMind]

Fakhar caught and bowled! Really pathetic

 

[Amjid Javed]

Both openers eating up dot balls galore as usual

 

[SpiritOf1903]

Woweee... FFS

 

[IAJ]

Shabash Fakhar

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Fakhar gone ... very poor

 

[Rana]

Fakhar gone

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

Fakhar is absolutely pathetic- why they keep persisting with him I have no idea

 

[boomboomcheema]

That's gone

 

[shah_1]

wicket

 

[Asif321]

Poor fakhar he needs a break

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pathetic start you would think Pakistan are the minnows here

 

[Smbhayi]

Lol fakhar..

 

[Savak]

Phattu Midget Fakhar. Only in Pakistan will this midget be given twenty consecutive undeserved chances without performance

 

[160KPH]

Bad form continues!

 

[sam_ahm]

Fakhar Zaman is on his bike... Mickey Arthur's favorite boy after Shan Masood.

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Lol, another empty stadium.

Very pathetic to see such empty stadium in world cup

 

[Rana]

Go on Bobby

20th ODI century loading

 

[NeVerMind]

So much for finding form against a minor team...we need to put Fakhar out of his misery....

 

[FearlessRoar]

Even Fakhar failed to perform against Netherlands. I am worried he is becoming a big liability now. Probably we won't see him again after this world cup

 

[ExpressPacer]

Playing with Fakhar these days is like playing with 10 players. What a horrible fall from grace.

Pakistan need to draft in Saim Ayub under any circumstances. Abdullah Shafiq as opener is not the answer.

 

[shah_1]

Saud Shakeel has the potential to open.

I don't see any confidence in ABD in this format

 

[shehwar]

Such a soft dismissal.

 

[mominsaigol]

Fakhar kamas kam atleast score against nedtherlands .

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Man needed Fakhar in form for next matches

 

[IAJ]

Poor fakhar he needs a break

A litt late to think of a break don't you think?

 

[heddie19]

Fakhar did the same again

 

[Rajdeep]

Not watching live...hows the crowd turnout today guys? Pakistan game in Hyderabad should bring more people I guess.

 

[topspin]

That was atrocious technique from Fakhar. This guy has always relied on hand and eye coordination. If he's seeing it well he can be a threat because he shows good intent but I do wonder if the slower wickets in India will suit him.

 

[boomboomcheema]

Netherlands sense they have a chance to create history here.

 

[NeVerMind]

Playing with Fakhar these days is like playing with 10 players. What a horrible fall from grace.

Pakistan need to draft in Saim Ayub under any circumstances. Abdullah Shafiq as opener is not the answer.

Thry can only draft in from the reserves so even Haris will do...

 

[angrypathan]

Please replace Fakhar with Abdullah for the next game so that he gets some game time before the India game. Tends to do well against Sri Lanka anyway

 

[Shafi]

Parchi Fakhar gone!!! Can we even score 250? This team is really pathetic to even playing main round.

 

[Rana]

How long will it take for Saim to get his Indian visa? If Pakistan want to bring him in on an emergency basis?

 

[Devadwal]

Time for Bobby to score daddy hundred

 

[boomboomcheema]

Babar knows his team too well hence he said about targetting 290-300. Just lol @ fans thinking about 350-400.

 

[160KPH]

Phattu Midget Fakhar. Only in Pakistan will this midget be given twenty consecutive undeserved chances without performance

No, he is given chances because about 6 months ago he averaged 90 at a SR of 100 against New Zealand.

 

[TheSultan]

Accumulate away boys - bring up the 50 for dots

 

[Shafi]

Babar is responsible for the misery. His stubbornness on selecting players of his liking will cost us humiliation

 

[Savak]

I guarantee you that the likes of Saima Ayub, Abdullah Shafiq will shine big time if given the kind of chances and long rope that Fakhar enjoys.

 

[boomboomcheema]

Babar to repeat his heroics against Nepal.

 

[Rana]

This track spinning way more than the warm up games

 

[Hitman]

Babar looks a little rusty.

 

[ExpressPacer]

Thry can only draft in from the reserves so even Haris will do...

Haris is definitely the future. I just think that Saim is in better form these days …or maybe it is a case of the Pakistan team management ruining Haris by playing him lower down the order when his natural position is as an opener.

Ravindra is a perfect example of this. As soon as he was played in his natural position, he scored a blinder against England.

 

[NeVerMind]

Babar struggling against Dutt now...wow...what a fall from grace

 

[Savak]

No, he is given chances because about 6 months ago he averaged 90 at a SR of 100 against New Zealand.

Hello, 6 months ago.

 

[Ahmed216]

They are so wary and hesitant. As if murali is bowling on day 5 Galle pitch. Lol this is hilarious Muttiah dutt
