India vs Pakistan | 5th match | Asia Cup | Dubai | Sep 19, 2018 | Pakistan Innings

[Shafi]

Faheem does not have any power in his wrist and even Musfiq hits better 6 than him.

 

[Usman Chadda]

To be honest, once you lose three wickets to Jadhav, you don’t deserve to win whatever miracle happens.

 

[babajee]

Ranaaa

 

[Syed1]

Now all of you realize how garbage Imam is.... I've been saying all along

 

[Syed1]

Crossed 158.... easy win for Pak. Time to kick back and relax. Well played India but sadly it wasn't your day.

 

[Rayyman]

Faheem is the key with the ball.

 

[Shandarchowka]

I think 170 is a winning score on this pitch.. Especially considering strong bowling and weak batting in the second innings

 

[hussain.r97]

A quickfire 30 from Hasan is pretty much our last hope!

 

[shariqnoor]

And people here think Faheem is better than Hardik. I have not seen one innings from Fahim in ODIs where he has smacked the opposition.

 

[Asif321]

[Greenstorm]

don't care about this useless tournament.

 

[Shandarchowka]

Haha good one

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Now all of you realize how garbage Imam is.... I've been saying all along

And?

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Crossed 158.... easy win for Pak. Time to kick back and relax. Well played India but sadly it wasn't your day.

Bus kar do bhi rulaye ga kya

 

[theariezman]

And people here think Faheem is better than Hardik. I have not seen one innings from Fahim in ODIs where he has smacked the opposition.

he did once something like 70+ scores

 

[castortroy]

I did say 170 ao at the start

 

[B_Positive]

20 more needed to get 180 now...

 

[YousafTheBeast]

Faheems legs must weigh a tonne each

 

[ExpressPacer]

200 looks possible.

 

[msb314]

Now all of you realize how garbage Imam is.... I've been saying all along

If we go by this game - Fakhar is rubbish too

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

This was faheems best innings in odi uptil now

bhai aap to zalil na karein

 

[Titan24]

India has been defined by 1 poor match against Pakistan on this forum for the past 1 year, if I'm not wrong.

No its not India being defined by that, rather Pakistan for winning the tournament by beating 3 of the top teams in a tournament to win it and I don't find anything wrong in that

 

[PakLFC]

This things happen.

There is a law of average - I actually missed that time, what must have been one of the best ever batting displays in history, just about 2 months back; now this one bad day can be excused.

Nothing much to worry here - PAK is the only team in history with 1-2-3 averaging over 50, for a reason - stats don't lie.

Playing 7 tailenders is normal to you!!! Even Sarfaraz is more of a tailender now. I don't know aht "law of history" you are talking about! With this pathetic batting line up there is plenty to worry about.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Faheem could've taken us over 200 score. Why you do that Rana.

 

[castortroy]

These pitches are only going to get lower and slower. Mistake not to play hafeez or imad

 

[MMHS]

Fakhar
Haris
Babar
Malik
Faheem
Sarfraz
Asif
Shadab
Hassan
Amir
Usman

Play this team next match

Won't work - Nawaz has to play here. Should have been Gohar or Raja, but he is what is there. Imam needs to there, otherwise Ul Haq will settle score sometimes in future - Arthur won't risk that. My hunch is, if he doesn't bowl really well, one of the 3 pacers (most likely Shinwari) will miss out for Nawaz and rest remains same. If Haris plays, they'll drop Asif & play Hari at wrong spot of No. 6.

 

[Invincible Gujjar]

asif along with imam and sarfraz should be kicked out from the team.

 

[Pete Rose]

Aamir has always been a respectable lower order batsman

 

[Da_Future_Knick]

Faheem comes in at number 8 and people expect him to hit a 30 ball 100 against India.

Blame our openers and our captain not the all rounder coming in at number 8.

 

[imshally81]

t

 

[Syed1]

If we go by this game - Fakhar is rubbish too

Imam has played good opposition twice, NZ and Ind, and both times flopped like no tomorrow. The writing is on the wall, but you can continue playing him only to realize it 10-15 ODIs down the line.

 

[Kashmirilion]

Playing 7 tailenders is normal to you!!! Even Sarfaraz is more of a tailender now. I don't know aht "law of history" you are talking about! With this pathetic batting line up there is plenty to worry about.

Sarcasm my friend

 

[Madplayer]

Most shots have been stupid. This one included.

 

[alized]

Amir should become an all rounder. He’s much better then Fahim at both.

 

[Da_Future_Knick]

Won't work - Nawaz has to play here. Should have been Gohar or Raja, but he is what is there. Imam needs to there, otherwise Ul Haq will settle score sometimes in future - Arthur won't risk that. My hunch is, if he doesn't bowl really well, one of the 3 pacers (most likely Shinwari) will miss out for Nawaz and rest remains same. If Haris plays, they'll drop Asif & play Hari at wrong spot of No. 6.

Nawaz is a nothing bowler & batsmen. He’s completely garbage.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Another one bites the dust

 

[theariezman]

7x4=28 + 160 = 188 from here on

 

[Pete Rose]

That’s pretty soft

 

[Syed1]

Oh no... even 180 is looking far now

 

[B_Positive]

Stay at the wicket yar....

 

[Plumb]

just play full 50 overs boys

 

[babajee]

Giving 3 wickets to Kumar and Jadhav each is pathetic

 

[YousafTheBeast]

This is all imams fault

 

[theariezman]

Another one bites the dust

come on!!!!

 

[Shafi]

Our batting has been exposed badly and par with Sri Lanka.

 

[Asif321]

Lol what a horrid day

 

[Usman Chadda]

People expecting Pakistan to make a match of it, we are playing one pacer too many on this wicket.

 

[castortroy]

Pak have always struggled against Kumar

 

[Fineline]

I would rather stick with Imam than a player who hasn't done anything for the last 15 months.

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

Pakistani fans should'nt be worried.Pakistan's batting is not as bad as it appears today.I never thought we'll dismiss you at such a low score.

 

[castortroy]

India should win this by 7 wickets

 

[jadaja]

This match showing how flukey that CT win was for Pakistan.

 

[theariezman]

Atleast I am reaching to my target of 2000 posts

 

[hussain.r97]

Hasan Ali needs to be more responsible with the bat, he is a much better bat than that .... He tends to come out swinging from the start.

 

[alized]

Here comes Shinwari Lion! Cousin of the Afridis!!!

 

[Syed1]

Need to have India 50/3 at the very least to have any chance

 

[ARK Rafay]

Our batsmen have just been impatience nothing more. Each and everyone came to the crease to become the hero. They probably wanted to show their heroics. Forgetting that India is here to play too...

 

[Cricfan321]

Usman has a First-class fifty.

 

[Syed1]

Amir better bat than Imam and Sarfaraz

 

[Ab Fan]

Hahahaha, respect from my side for managing to show up unlike the so called bhaijans

I am here only, never going anywhere brother.

 

[Titan24]

Some people here have thousands of posts and yet they judge a player, a team just by one match. Come on guys you are better than that

 

[Pete Rose]

Our batsmen have just been impatience nothing more. Each and everyone came to the crease to become the hero. They probably wanted to show their heroics. Forgetting that India is here to play too...

They’ve been soft

 

[CricVet]

Just look at the dismissal of Hasan from the side view. That ball lost speed by good percentage. What a pathetic pitch!

 

[Fineline]

This match showing how flukey that CT win was for Pakistan.

What is your opinion about yesterday's match sir?

 

[pakistan cricket fan]

Imad failed fitness Test while MoHa won't be remotely close to his chucking best with a clean action. Time to move on and someone should bang a bat on Malik's knee as well.

Will somebody trow out Malik getting 3 chances can not even cross 50

 

[Rahul1]

Pakistan getting beaten by 10 Indian players

More like 8.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Stop it guys and wait. Match is not over yet awful batting btw

 

[B_Positive]

Need to have India 50/3 at the very least to have any chance

One good partnership will end the game for us. Cant let any of them settle. And the main thing would be not to give singles which unfortunately is strength of Indians

 

[theariezman]

Our batsmen have just been impatience nothing more. Each and everyone came to the crease to become the hero. They probably wanted to show their heroics. Forgetting that India is here to play too...

100% correct

 

[MMHS]

They should have carried points to Super 4.

I hope our or AFG boys don't get caught with their pants down tomorrow

VVS thinks Sarfraz should bat at 6 - rather ICC should change cricket rule like Davis Cup or Ryder Cup .....

 

[OmarKhan99]

Faheem comes in at number 8 and people expect him to hit a 30 ball 100 against India.

Blame our openers and our captain not the all rounder coming in at number 8.

Any player who gets his eye in should be more responsible than that.

I reckon he should've waited till we reached the 45th over. Even if we ended up at the same score by waiting it out a bit more, not being bowled in the innings would've handed us the momentum.

 

[Madplayer]

Laxman already celebrating. Praising Indian players character in these conditions. I hope this comes back to haunt him later.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Need to have India 50/3 at the very least to have any chance

Let's hope Amir has a good day.

 

[Greenstorm]

Pakistani fans should'nt be worried.Pakistan's batting is not as bad as it appears today.I never thought we'll dismiss you at such a low score.

Yes its just a bad day, an anomaly. I am sure our boys will come back hard in next matches.

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

can usman bat?

 

[Shafi]

How we can cope with Bangladesh and Afghanistan if we play like this? Forget about winning the Asia Cup.

 

[Zeeraq]

And Imam will score mighty double hundreds at 4.

So we should keep playing Asif Ali because he might win us a match once in a blue moon?

 

[JibranAnsari]

Chalo shuker he 158 se to ziada kiye hen.
