[jnaveen1980]

25 overs. half way throuhg. Run rate under 4.

 

[Ali T]

and back to below 4

 

[cricfan1992]

99 after 25 overs

 

[Asad T]

can you imagine, sone pakistan fans paid UD 1,000 + to attend watching paint dry live today in 34 degree heat

 

[mominsaigol]

Im really proud of Saud Shakeel . I had totally forgot he was still batting, so happy to see him get 30 runs finally in Odi cricket. Great innings.

He's batting better then rizwan atm? It's rubbish but he's faster? How did you forget saud but remember rizwam?

 

[Kroll]

And this was Riz's call, bat first to put up "scoreboard pressure"

Yeah Rizwan, some scoreboard pressure this.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Pakistan putting up a fight by batting at a strike rate of 3.9

Both teams should be wearing blue shirts if we are honest.

 

[Bhaijaan]

95 dot balls in first 25 overs

 

[boomboomcheema]

Four dots after a boundary..

 

[Rana]

Excellent

Boundary and then 4 dots

 

[vprasanna83]

Well I used to always romanticize about 1990s ODI cricket . Must thank Pakistan for taking me back to the golden ages

 

[Major]

Less biryanis. More fielding practice.

na its not about biryanis. its about how serious you take the fielding session.

I have seen the Pakistani session for fielding. They throw a few and do thsoe ooooohhh ufff when throwing at stumps.

Even during the match, we will be doing ohh ufff.

 

[Slim]

1 4 and then all dot balls... BEAUTY

Cannot up the run rate. Gotta make sure it stays below 4. Not their responsibility. Its responsibility of other bats to try and get out so they can get all back.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Maybe the target is 250.

Yeah Wasim, Saqi aur Shoaib jo hai hamaray pass.

You can't defend 250 here

 

[Bhaijaan]

Saud zada peeeche mat khhel Kully ko

 

[DeadlyVenom]

For some reason I imagine @Rajdeep to look like Kuldeep

 

[Slim]

And this was Riz's call, bat first to put up "scoreboard pressure"

Yeah Rizwan, some scoreboard pressure this.

It will be score board pressure on pakistani bowlers.

 

[Ahmed216]

What a beautiful reverse sweep by Sauda

 

[globetrotter]

India shouldn’t get out this duo, they have chance to restrict PAK under 200

 

[Bhaijaan]

Another boundary

Pakistan now launching attack

 

[Human786]

can you imagine, sone pakistan fans paid UD 1,000 + to attend watching paint dry live today in 34 degree heat

could be a tight game if they go over 260 ...

 

[kingusama92]

100 up for Pakistan!

Both batsmen should raise their bats.

 

[FearlessRoar]

Dhoni must be really happy

 

[cricfan1992]

what a reverse by saudd

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Saud looks like a club cricketer out there.

 

[castortroy]

99 dots

Wow

 

[Kroll]

Why can't Pak produce any decent modern day batsmen?

 

[BouncerGuy]

could be a tight game if they go over 260 ...

And who is gonna score those runs??

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Lovely

 

[cricfan1992]

SAUD on FIREEE

 

[jnaveen1980]

Well I used to always romanticize about 1990s ODI cricket . Must thank Pakistan for taking me back to the golden ages

It was not always like that in 90s. Check this match. Look at the amount of boundaries by Jadeja/Azharuddin. Hardly anyting. Mostly singles . Both had strike rate over 90

 

[Devadwal]

As expected runs are flowing now. They are playing very well

 

[msb314]

Better…

 

[mominsaigol]

The sad thing is, This indian team is beatable, they are not a strong team atleast from a bowling perspective.

Goes to show how rubbish pakistan is.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Why can't Pak produce any decent modern day batsmen?

Why do Pakistan have to play in the first place?

 

[castortroy]

For india, playing against pak is no different to playing Bangladesh

 

[kingusama92]

Two boundaries.

They're playing too fast!

 

[Bhaijaan]

Great over for greens.

Two fours in the over

 

[Slim]

Obligatory 4 dot balls after hitting the 4

 

[Omer2002]

Congrats ppl 100 runs...in 25 overs

I thought they wud get that in 36 overs

 

[Varun]

Saud looks like a club cricketer out there.

Nah he's obviously been paid to look like it

 

[Deewana Mastana]

The sad thing is, This indian team is beatable, they are not a strong team atleast from a bowling perspective.

Goes to show how rubbish pakistan is.

No Indian team is beatable.

Even their U19s would beat this team.

 

[Slim]

Two boundaries.

They're playing too fast!

Dont worry Rizwan will play 8 dots to make sure the run rate doesnt go up

 

[Omer2002]

Defo shud have bowled first

 

[Bhaijaan]

Boundaries galore

Pakistan making a come back

 

[BouncerGuy]

Yeah... curse these guys even more so they can feel the affect and start scoring some runs

 

[jamie smith]

Looking like a test match going on a slow trinidad pitch btw wi and bng.

 

[Rana]

Why can't Pak produce any decent modern day batsmen?

Because they glorify rubbish like Rizwan in the first place

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Congrats ppl 100 runs...in 25 overs

I thought they wud get that in 36 overs

I'd said 28.

 

[globetrotter]

Rizwan not going to budge down

 

[Bhaijaan]

Bharat once again not getting any wickets with the spin

Bhaiyo kya chal raha hae

 

[cricfan1992]

looks like we will get to 280 now. great strokes

 

[Devadwal]

Both batters are going to score a century and Post v300 runs ..

 

[daytrader]

I see the plan now clearly. Kaptaana prevented the collapse after 2 quick wickets. Things will look alot better soon

 

[Rana]

3 boundaries in the last 12 balls or so

Good

Keep going

 

[Aqib_mustafa]

Why can't Pak produce any decent modern day batsmen?

What is decent are you out of your mind they are looking great against spin you put Australia here against indian spinners they will barely cross 100 runs crazy pak fans

 

[Major]

I just dont wana jinx by saying good stuff or postive stuff

Im soo tensed. Plz plz plz make a long partnership. I dont care if you bat 3 an over, bas kharay raho yara.

 

[Devadwal]

Bharat once again not getting any wickets with the spin

Bhaiyo kya chal raha hae

Our bowling is exposed by Bangladesh in the middle overs and now by Pakistan

 

[jnaveen1980]

Bharat once again not getting any wickets with the spin

Bhaiyo kya chal raha hae

Neither Axar nor Jadeja can take wickets on a pitch like this. Only guy who can take is Kuldeep.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Collapse avoided... Time to score some runs now...

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Its hard to understand if the pitch is slow or Pakistani batsmen are just being incompetent.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Nah he's obviously been paid to look like it

You can never dismiss fixing doubts about a Pakistan team with their history. You know it as well as I do.

 

[psyoptica]

The sad thing is, This indian team is beatable, they are not a strong team atleast from a bowling perspective.

Goes to show how rubbish pakistan is.

problem is, Pakistan bowling is even weaker than the batting. Pakistan needs to score 30,40 extra runs to offset Raufs trash bowling

 

[Slim]

Just touch the ball, no intent to smash it. God i miss Fakhar..

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Cameraman has found his match

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Its hard to understand if the pitch is slow or Pakistani batsmen are just being incompetent.

Probably a bit of both.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Just touch the ball, no intent to smash it. God i miss Fakhar..

Why would they smash it when they're getting smashed themselves

 

[Major]

Ok Shubman gill is a good Indian, he said the ball grounded

 

[BouncerGuy]

SHami in and chance created

 

[Usman Chadda]

Just touch the ball, no intent to smash it. God i miss Fakhar..

Pitch is slow for touch based game, it’s not as bad as our batters have made it to be but not as good as we are thinking it is.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

99 dots

Wow

I got 99 problems but a win ain't one

 

[mominsaigol]

Its hard to understand if the pitch is slow or Pakistani batsmen are just being incompetent.

Both. It's always both

 

[Omer2002]

Rizzy is just slogging now are thesr so called professionals

 

[Major]

Had Shami been over on this side of the border, the H would had been silent

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Shami's hair transplant hasn't fully blossomed

 

[Devadwal]

If pakistan fielders was there instead gill ,he would have claimed that catch

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

lot of us indian fans here feelign gung ho about the situation, it wont be easy chasing udner lights...these 2 guys doing what Hridoy and jaker did for BD the other night....
on our front, i guess we have given about 35 runs in extras and bowling like absolute halwa gin slinging lunkheads without intensity...which the pak pace guys will not be replicating...in fact i'd back them to come in steaming in like their tash reef's are on fire
need few quick wickets...

 

[jnaveen1980]

India has no real death bowling options.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Shami chachu get us a breakthrough bro

 

[Slim]

Rizzy is just slogging now are thesr so called professionals

Always playing catch up, be it batting first or second. Always trying to catch up a struggling run rate. A horrible, aimless team.
