Ireland v Pakistan | 1st ODI | Dublin (Malahide) | Aug 18, 2016 | Pakistan Innings

[Markhor]

Nice flick of the wrists from Hafeez

 

[uberkoen]

Is Hafeez naive enough to think that playing cautiously and getting to a decent total by taking it slow while Sharjeel keeps knocking them out of the park will help him secure his position in the team?

 

[Syed1]

Ireland giving easy runs to Prof

 

[Amjid Javed]

Good platform here and we should be looking at 290-300+ at least even if we bat well from this point.

 

[Syed1]

It works for Pakistani team management and selectors

 

[Bilsher007]

Azhar ali wasted 12 balls and scored 1 run and GOT OUT ! And hafeez is also holding his timid profile intact by also wasting plenty of deliveries ...

 

[Cricket World]

Hafeez is playing ugly innings

 

[Pete Rose]

Is Hafeez naive enough to think that playing cautiously and getting to a decent total by taking it slow while Sharjeel keeps knocking them out of the park will help him secure his position in the team?

well, we all know he doesnt belong at this stage. but, Mickey cant just chucking him out. we have to wait till the end of the series.

 

[lonex]

i think you need recognize the tremendous progress that hafeez has made by batting in UAE for 5 years. No longer is it a score 5(7 balls) now its 10 (35 balls).
progress.

Hahaha .. True .. ..

 

[OmaIR1]

8 runs off the over but 4 dot balls. The dot balls are more concerning for me.

 

[Syed1]

Huge crowd.. atleast couple of thousand.


Lol at the commentators

 

[Syed1]

Out deh de

 

[Strike Rate]

Camera work is really funny

 

[shah_1]

Useless

 

[Markhor]

That is Owais Shah??

Yep. He's retired now. Played county for a long time. Was born in Karachi, came over to England and even played 71 ODIs which is far more than I'd have thought.

 

[Khan12]

Yes hafeez out.

 

[Naim]

chase closed Hafeez case

 

[Cricket World]

Thank you Hafeez

 

[Pete Rose]

So far the only thing that can be considered as a positive is sharjeel's batting. Hafeez's innings is a big negative. The more he scores here the greater the probability of Pakistan playing with ten players vs England

 

[Syed1]

yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss


Never been happier for a Pakistani wicket

 

[lonex]

Finally, some justice ...

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Good catch

 

[tahir_dj]

Owais shah trying really hard in the commentary box
and Hafeez is gone

 

[dhump]

59 balls for his 37 runs poor SR against a weak bowling.

 

[shah_1]

Sher ah gaya

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

The very talented Babar Azam in.

 

[Bilsher007]

Is Hafeez naive enough to think that playing cautiously and getting to a decent total by taking it slow while Sharjeel keeps knocking them out of the park will help him secure his position in the team?

Obviously hafeez thinks that way ! The way i see it is that both ODI series will decide hafeez's future, i believe the verdict is out that his ODI career is also over, he is mediocre batsman who should have been booted out long ago but youngsters coming through are not polished enough to cement their places thanks to a faulty first class structure in Pakistan.

 

[HitWicket]

Yep. He's retired now. Played county for a long time. Was born in Karachi, came over to England and even played 71 ODIs which is far more than I'd have thought.

Bit of a forceful retirement as well. He was hunting around asking to play for numerous counties all season and none of them wanted him.

 

[dhump]

come on young guys now the ball is in your court no more baba ji to come before Gul walks in.

 

[Syed1]

Future captain is here. Hope he plays well

 

[pak4life]

Typical hafeez innings and dismissal.

 

[zn426]

Bye Bye Hafeez. Okay, Babar, come in and accelerate this innings with Sharjeel.

 

[m23ahmed]

Why not play Sami Aslam?

 

[Syed1]

Lol the keeper is funny

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Finally Two batsmen out at the crease for the 1st time in the innings.

 

[Bilsher007]

Really happy the rubbish batsman is OUT !

 

[Bilsher007]

Bye Bye Hafeez. Okay, Babar, come in and accelerate this innings with Sharjeel.

Hopefully chief selector inzamam can see that it is high time we say permanent BYE BYE TO HAFEEZ !

 

[MMHS]

Excellent wicket to play cricket.

I think, Arthur has tried his best to find his combination for England. He can't drop Captain dynamic for Sami. But, he is playing both spinners & has rested Yasir, dropped Wahab.

End of MoHa, after a customary selfish knock. Micky can't risk his job by taking panga on national treasure, so none is going to replace him at 3.

 

[uberkoen]

Meanwhile Sharjeel keeps knocking them all over the park. Getting closer to his maiden ODI century.

 

[Rayyman]

Why not play Sami Aslam?

He's resting

 

[Naim]

 

[GreenKnightRises]

 

[Syed1]

Sharjeel in kasaaeee mode today

 

[troodon]

Stadium looks more like a local park.

 

[Naim]

More

 

[Donal Cozzie]

200 on here if he wants

 

[Naim]

another

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Told ya

 

[Markhor]

Sharjeel providing the power hitting at the top of the order Pakistan have sorely needed.

Timing the ball really well, his footwork isn't as static as before as he's getting into position well for his shots.

 

[Syed1]

Wow wow wow

 

[shah_1]

How big is this ground?

 

[#GreenRoars]

Shahji is just destroying Ireland's bowling

 

[#GreenRoars]

 

[Donal Cozzie]

Why the hell are you bowling short

 

[zn426]

Sharjeel is doing all the work, Babar just needs to rotate strike and let him get on. Not a hard job since Sharjeel is set.

 

[dhump]

Sharjeel playing exactly how it should be played against Ireland.

It is his big chance to score really big.

 

[Syed1]

Into the not-so-nervous nineties..

 

[Ind_Yeah]

Ireland making Sharjeel look like fat Yuvraj.

 

[Strike Rate]

He really want to be the first Pakistani to score a 200 in ODIs. He mentioned it in one of his interviews

 

[shah_1]

Why the hell are you bowling short

What's the ground size?

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Carnage

 

[nish_mate]

200 coming up

 

[troodon]

Irish did not do their homework.

Bowling on Leg stump and short on hips.

 

[MMHS]

Sharjeel can get a double today.

 

[Syed1]

Basit Ali had the fourth fastest century in ODIs?? Whaaaa???

 

[troodon]

Smash them trundlers.

 

[saeedhk]

Garbage and amateurish coverage. It looks like a Pakistani domestic match!

 

[troodon]

How big is this ground?

Looks like a birds nest. Pretty small.

 

[IcedCoffee]

Should have been a double there.

 

[troodon]

Should have been a double there.

Sharjeel is not a runner. He is a Smasher.

 

[Cricket World]

Beauty by Babar

 

[Markhor]

Basit Ali had the fourth fastest century in ODIs?? Whaaaa???

Yeah was in Sharjah against an attack of Ambrose, Walsh and Kenny Benjamin.

[GreenKnightRises]

Youngsta beauty playing well

 

[shah_1]

Lucky

 

[IcedCoffee]

Sharjeel is not a runner. He is a Smasher.

Yea no kidding. Almost got out.

 

[Cricket World]

Lucky escape for Sharjeel for once he mistimed

 

[Markhor]

Garbage and amateurish coverage. It looks like a Pakistani domestic match!

Pakistani domestic coverage is much worse.

Not a single advert in this so far.

 

[dhump]

Garbage and amateurish coverage. It looks like a Pakistani domestic match!

No camera quality is surely better than Pakistani domestic shown by geo or ptv.

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Ireland really miss a quality bowler like Boyd Rankin.
