Who is the foreigner commentating here?

The only sane commentator, steve smith

Pandya not doing kaala jaadoo on the ball this time

 

[RidiculousMan]

I think Babar's intent was good. Even though he got out. He gave a good start with Rizwan on this pitch.

 

[Kroll]

Some baldy Indian being defiant there with the flag.

 

[gani999]

Hardik the buffoon. And bigger buffoon Sharma for giving him two overs

 

[NeVerMind]

Usman Khan already outperformed Azam Khan

 

[FearlessRoar]

During the mid-innings show on local sports channel, Sunil Gavaskar called the Indian batters "arrogant and reckless" for throwing away their wickets and not adapting properly to the match conditions:

"The performance was disappointing. I think they were arrogant and reckless. There was an arrogance in the way they started as they were looking to hit every ball. This is not an Ireland attack. This is not an ordinary attack and I do not mean any disrespect to Ireland when I say this. But this is a very experienced attack and there should have been just that little bit of respect given when the ball is moving quite a bit. And then, getting out with one over left tells you that you are probably not in the right kind of thinking. Another 6 runs would have taken them to a 125 and that could have made a difference."

Pandya not doing kaala jaadoo on the ball this time

He is. Maybe not working right now

 

[emranabbas]

He's playing fine on this pitch tbh

Your not playing fine when the required rate is 6+ and your playing slower and slower every over

 

[sweep_shot]

A blockbuster game like this should have Michael Atherton and Nasser Hussain as commentators.

Commentary has been boring.

 

[Slim]

Usman is like a deer in front of headlights. No clue. I don't think he can even hear what Rizwan is saying

Not really, the instructions given to him were not right and Rizwan is putting more pressure by eating more dot balls being the settled batter :/

 

[adzzy786]

Rizwan too busy talking to Pant. Concentrate at the job at hand for god sake

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Need a big over to get the rate down. Riz needs to take on the bowlers now

 

[boomboomcheema]

Rizwan killing the chase now, so many dots.

 

[shah_1]

63 runs needed in last 10 overs

 

[RidiculousMan]

Good from Pakistan. 63 needed off last 10 overs.

 

[sweep_shot]

India should've selected Kuldeep.

 

[Energy]

Good shot there by Rizzy. Playing a crucial innings.

 

[Rana]

Pakistan in control

 

[adzzy786]

63 runs needed in last 10 overs

Tough for us

 

[Kroll]

Not too bad in context of the game, should be able to stroll it from here.

 

[amvbfm]

Pakistan's match to lose. Only threat is Bumrah.

 

[Caved12]

Rizwan the leg side hack has already hit a six and a four in that extra cover region

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Who is the foreigner commentating here?

Steve Smith

 

[RidiculousMan]

Rizwan killing the chase now, so many dots.

He can afford it as long as his plan is to keep hitting boundaries in between and go deep. That's exactly what Pakistan need. It's not an easy pitch for new batter to come in, settle and go bang bang.

 

[adzzy786]

Not too bad in context of the game, should be able to stroll it from here.

after Fakhar the tail starts, I wouldn’t be so sure

 

[Smbhayi]

Rizwan improved his off side game little bit.. that's a good shot on a turning pitch..

 

[sweep_shot]

Not too bad in context of the game, should be able to stroll it from here.

2-3 big overs should win it for Pakistan.

 

[mrtaim3]

Pandya not doing kaala jaadoo on the ball this time

I was thinking the same. Poor guy is not the same after that kala jadu

 

[Theo_14]

Rizwan playing the anchor role very well. Usman needs to just target one bowler and go all blitz - not essential but would ease pressure a lot.

 

[batandballbattle]

boundary an over, come on boys

 

[Asad T]

The only sane commentator, steve smith

i love how steve smith was explaining some slip fielding techniques to Wasim and Wasim was so confused.

"Really, you rest on the balls of your feet when in the slips? How intersting ."

 

[RidiculousMan]

The only sane commentator, steve smith

Good awareness and insight. No wonder he's a legend of this game.

 

[Slim]

A blockbuster game like this should have Michael Atherton and Nasser Hussain as commentators.

Commentary has been boring.

Yuvraj has been the most pathetic commentator to hear. I like the guy but my god he was putting me and my boys to sleep.

 

[t_kaay]

Your not playing fine when the required rate is 6+ and your playing slower and slower every over

Play the pitch, not the bowler. They are doing fine for now.

 

[kingusama92]

Good batting so far.

A few silly mistakes but they're in a decent position to finish it off.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Congrats to all PPers in advance. Kohli, Rohit and Jadeja need to be booted out for the geriatrics they are. Only a thrashing by Pakistan can possibly jolt BCCI into action, if anything.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Riz averages 74 against India in T20.

Don't worry about SR.

 

[mominsaigol]

Your not playing fine when the required rate is 6+ and your playing slower and slower every over

The rr is manageable, Pakistan can get 7 to 8 in the last over lol

 

[RidiculousMan]

Yuvraj has been the most pathetic commentator to hear. I like the guy but my god he was putting me and my boys to sleep.

At least we got Steve Smith

 

[Kroll]

after Fakhar the tail starts, I wouldn’t be so sure

Maybe get ifti next in to "finish" it and as an insurance policy.

 

[boomboomcheema]

Bumrah will bowl 2 out of the remaining 10. Pakistan can Max only survive in his spell so gotta target others

 

[DeadlyVenom]

What a ball! Sliding down leg though

 

[UzmanBeast]

Need to play out Bumrah and keep rotating strike.

 

[mominsaigol]

Maybe get ifti next in to "finish" it and as an insurance policy.

He's a bottler, so no

 

[Champ_Pal]

Easy win for Pakistan.

 

[kingusama92]

Yuvraj has been the most pathetic commentator to hear. I like the guy but my god he was putting me and my boys to sleep.

Just a brutal lineup of commentators. One after the other.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Pakistan's match to lose. Only threat is Bumrah.

Would be dumb to leave it until the last few overs when the pressure is on and he's bowling at the death.

 

[emranabbas]

100v

The rr is manageable, Pakistan can get 7 to 8 in the last over lol

I take your word for it lol

 

[Asif321]

That’s out

 

[hamzie]

looks out

 

[KingKhanWC]

3/4 done

Perfectly played match so far by Pak.

Keep going same & it’s a dominant victory .

India need bumhrah to take 2 in a row

 

[RexRex]

Pakistan on the charge here

 

[Kroll]

Oh no!

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Oh flip its out

 

[adzzy786]

DRS being manipulated

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Well that's the end of his career. Should have went out swinging.

 

[followed]

Usman khan should pack the bags and should be sent back to UAE. He is not needed here.
Such a pathetic player.

 

[Asif321]

Nervy innings from us man . Fakhar hold key now

 

[UzmanBeast]

Need to keep rotating strike here.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Rizwan gone

 

[RidiculousMan]

Fakhar is key here. If Pakistan loses him then it will become an uphill battle to win this one.

 

[Rana]

Usman did ok tbh

 

[sweep_shot]

Usman is gone but it is probably good for Pakistan.

 

[Smbhayi]

Excellent review by India, struggling Usman gone..

 

[boomboomcheema]

Worst start for the second half..Usman overall a failure.

 

[Asif321]

Pakistan need to adjust Saim somehow in XI

 

[aukhan]

Rizwan has been batting well on this pitch. Its Usman who is the problem here. Clearly a downgrade. I would rather have Saim bat 3

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

DRS being manipulated

It looked out even on first viewing to be honest. It turned to bring it back in to the stumps.

 

[m.shah]

Gone

 

[Smbhayi]

They should send Naseem Shah and have a few slogs..

 

[Kroll]

Main man is on and is fearless.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Very very tense

 

[Energy]

Saim, Usman and Azam. Three youngsters specifically bought into the T20I setup are the biggest disappointments.

 

[Markhor]

With Fakhar at least we'll have a left-right combo.

 

[NeVerMind]

Usman did ok tbh

Did more than Azam Khan and 13 runs in a low scoring match not too bad...rest need to contribute

 

[mominsaigol]

What a ball! Sliding down leg though

Nope

 

[UzmanBeast]

Need to build a partnership.

 

[Justcrazy]

This is small target , just need to bat through 16 - 17 overs

 

[followed]

Usman khan is such a pathetic cricketer.
