What was that shot by Imam Ul Haq...

 

[Nasty Naz]

Predictably, the terrible Imam Ul Haq gets out.

 

[AFM]

Bumrah to Fakhar maiden

 

[cricketindiafan]

Yay! Well done Bhuvi

 

[ExpressPacer]

Imam idiot.

What was the need for that? Line lag jani hai ab

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

lol

so much for being calm

 

[m.shah]

What was that...

 

[aukhan]

lo g out imam ul haq choker.

 

[mak36]

....so much for Iman keeping his cool.

Silly shot. Showing his immaturity and inability to handle pressure.

Wasn't he supposed to be the anchor? Pathetic.

 

[Madplayer]

A half decent opposition and Imam goes.

 

[PerfectionPersonified]

Pathetic shot from imam

 

[kingusama92]

Pakistani batsmen always do this to themselves.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Bowlers have started well - need our batsmen - particularly Fakhar - not to lose their cool here.

Need to pick up single and doubles & dispatch the bad ball for 4. Batting will get harder through the day with the pitch slowing down and lights coming into play.

Lights mean the ball comes on better. We need to be careful here. Can't collapse.

 

[babajee]

Blessing in disguise.

 

[Mueez]

Yaaarrr imammmmmm why oh whyy?

 

[Dios]

Imam getting out is actually good for Pakistan. India should have kept him at the crease and gave him a 100-ball 60 or something.

 

[PerfectionPersonified]

What on earth Imam was doing ? tailender shot

 

[angrypathan]

Good riddance

 

[Invincible Gujjar]

imam the useless haq is done and dusted

 

[ExpressPacer]

Don't understand why they're coming under pressure. Even fakhar looked so impatient.

 

[TalhaSyed]

Lights mean the ball comes on better. We need to be careful here. Can't collapse.

Hoping the lights will assist the seamers with some movement - let's see

 

[hussain.r97]

What a soft, pathetic dismissal. I know this is his first game against India, and against any quality opposition, but I have said it before that he got an easy start to his career against Zimbabwe, and now it's going to haunt us until the world cup.

 

[Rana]

Long way to go boys.

 

[adzzy786]

What a pathetic shot. What was the need for that.

 

[AFM]

Great intent

 

[B_Positive]

Inexperience showed in Imam. He will learn. Babar need to stay at the crease now.

 

[Rayyman]

Useless player gone.

 

[todfod 11]

Haha 1 down... India is winning this one...

 

[TalhaSyed]

Wasn't he supposed to be the anchor? Pathetic.

That's what I thought. I'm guessing Imam didn't get the memo.

 

[PerfectionPersonified]

Babar should play till 40th over

 

[ExpressPacer]

Backing Babar to score a big ton here, maybe his highest score yet.

 

[hussain.r97]

Probably better that he got out, or he would stick around and eat deliveries.

 

[shariqnoor]

Fakhar played out a maiden. Put pressure on Imam and he got out.

Yep that's how ridiculous this line of argument is when it's put the other way round to the benefit of Fakhar and co.

 

[Boi]

What an idiot.

 

[TalhaSyed]

Patience Fakhar - don't pull and Imam here.....

 

[PerfectionPersonified]

Fakhar does not look comfortable at all

 

[Shafi]

As usual Imam fail against better bowler!!!!!

 

[Invincible Gujjar]

pathetic 3 overs and 3 runs

 

[Slim]

Good bowling from india.

Come on ladssss.

 

[PerfectionPersonified]

Fakhar practising test

 

[TalhaSyed]

1 run and 1 wicket in the last 12 balls.

RR of 1rpo.

C'mon guys you are better then this...

 

[hussain.r97]

Pitch looks very slow, ball not really come onto the bat. India also bowling the right lengths.

 

[happydavy]

You want Pakistan to win against India only on this forum post.

Deep inside if India wins, you would be stripping down the streets of Delhi with chants of Jaye Hind. (Is that's what it's called??).

Absolutely not mate. What would I accomplish by lying on an internet forum where no one even knows me in person? My belief is the real feelings come out when anonymous. I loathe this team consisting of oldies and deep down I hope that with a couple of massive defeats, selectors might be forced to take tough decisions and drop Karthik, dhoni, rayadu etc etc

 

[B_Positive]

Fakhar does not look comfortable at all

Wait for him to play 20-25 balls. He will look the most comfortable on the ground today

 

[PakPlayer]

It always looked like the first 10 overs will decide how the game goes. 3/1 after 3 does not look good.

 

[ExplicitAI]

I know this isn't a T20 but this is a major borefest

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Thank God they didn't now bowl like in the CT final.

 

[shortbread]

People need to calm down, simply the first few overs in probably 3 upcoming games.

Imam will learn.

 

[ExpressPacer]

Zaman playing like Shezzy

 

[kingusama92]

Pakistani batsmen today...

 

[Invincible Gujjar]

ugly action bowler is bowling well

 

[Asif321]

Imam fell to pressure should have not played this shot

 

[Slim]

Putting unnecessary pressure on themselves.

 

[angrypathan]

Ridiculous how our players can't get a single

 

[cricketindiafan]

Need to get these two out early. Comeon lads, one more wicket coming up soon, pressure building up

 

[B_Positive]

Guys its Ok. We have recently lost a wicket. Let them stay and see the wicket behavior

 

[Dark_Horse]

Inko koi btae score b karna hai

 

[happydavy]

Pakistan late middle order is pretty raw and they can't afford to be 3 or 4 down until 40th over.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Don't blame the batsmen brilliant bowling.

 

[Invincible Gujjar]

another maiden

 

[WhenSultansBowled]

To many dots

 

[cricketindiafan]

Thank God they didn't now bowl like in the CT final.

They actually did, think Fakar got out on a Bumrah no ball in the 4th over and India totally lost it from then on.

 

[Saj]

Fakhar has already missed a few freebies.

 

[ExpressPacer]

Maidens galore.

 

[m.shah]

Chickens

 

[Ab Fan]

Babar need to bat long here. An opportunity to showclass his ability against a very good bowling attack.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Bumrah bowling at good pace - second Maiden for him

 

[TalhaSyed]

India bowling very well here and our seriously struggling to do anything against this top class bowling.

 

[Nasty Naz]

Just absolutely horrendous batting from Pakistan. Literally no attempt is being made to play any shots or even rotate the strike.

 

[Ellipsism]

Wasn't this supposed to be a sellout?

 

[PerfectionPersonified]

Pakistan seems Lost

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Good start by India

 

[Rahul1]

So the useless hacks like Rayudu and Karthik are still playing while KL is still benched. Just pathetic.

 

[Zahid87]

Sedate start is ok. These two are key players, and we can catch up so long as we don't lose wickets.

 

[Titan24]

This is the over

 

[adzzy786]

I think Pakistan think they are playing a test match.

 

[Pete Rose]

My initial observation is that the Pakistani batsman are a little late on their shots. The India pacers are pounded the pitch on the right length. Pakistan need to wait it out a bit.

 

[ExpressPacer]

Fakhar gone for duck

 

[hussain.r97]

Bowling has been great so far, and the ball isn't really coming onto the bat either. Very few opportunities to score.

 

[kingusama92]

Wasn't this supposed to be a sellout?

UAE matches fill out as the day goes on.

Always happens that way.
