[BouncerGuy]

It is going to be Rizwan vs Babar.

I think Stallions should win this one.

 

[Rana]

The battle of the two rigged sides

Misbah+Waqar especially bolstered these two sides to give Naqvi a false impression

What if both RIz and Babar perform well??

Who cares? We are still an 8th ranked team in reality

[Rana]

Akif and Naseem

Decent opening pair

Dosti Yaari match up

 

[BouncerGuy]

I like this approach from Fakhar.... taking his time.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Ali bowled tight lines and got his reward. Superb bowling from this guy. Faizan is gone.

We must not underrate Ali the ODI bowler on the basis of his test career. He bowls good pace with white new ball with good shape away from right handers. Well ahead of Shaheen atm when it comes to providing control with new ball

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Mohammad Ali is pretty impressive. Accurate lines, decent pace and bounce.


Faizan is weak against channel bowling but still.

@Rana You will like this stat.

Everybodys favourite Fakhar departs

 

[BouncerGuy]

Fakhar fails once again...

 

[BouncerGuy]

Rizwan walks in and now he has a task to save the team again.

 

[Omer2002]

Everybodys secind favourite kamran Gulam goes..

 

[BouncerGuy]

Fans are just chanting BABAR BABAR. They do not care who is playing atm or who is bowling.

All I hear is Babar Babar where's the shame

 

[BouncerGuy]

Good captaincy from Haris. Putting slips in seeing the ball is spinning.

 

[RyanRyan10]

Everybodys secind favourite kamran Gulam goes..

And you are feeling happy about it?

 

[mominsaigol]

Good captaincy from Haris. Putting slips in seeing the ball is spinning.

Difference between a born leader and will always be present.

Haris' captaincy is miles ahead or Babar's, always was

 

[FearlessRoar]

Everybodys favourite Fakhar departs

Fakhar Zaman's dismissal pattern is eerily familiar - this is the exact shot that has led to his downfall a staggering 90% of the time

 

[Rana]

@Rana You will like this stat.

Why does this even matter?

The guy with an average of 45 and a strike rate of 125 isn’t considered good enough for Pakistan cricket

 

[DeadlyVenom]

How was Jahandads bowling.

 

[Omer2002]

And you are feeling happy about it?

I am not feeling no happiness. I am just stating a fact. Every one seems to have their favourites yet the fact is there is npt one talented batter in pak who can make internationally and the ones who have succeeded a bit like Baber and Rizzy everybody goes against them

 

[Omer2002]

Fakhar Zaman's dismissal pattern is eerily familiar - this is the exact shot that has led to his downfall a staggering 90% of the time

Absolutely correct..yet he never learns same mistake over and over

 

[Omer2002]

Also i notice nobody has mentioned the new darling Aghas 8 off 22 innings so far

 

[FearlessRoar]

Also i notice nobody has mentioned the new darling Aghas 8 off 22 innings so far

He is just trying to absorb pressure for now

 

[Muhammad Saad]

Jahandad is keep growing on me with his new ball bowling skills , he can swing the ball both ways with good decent pace ,accuracy and bounce (136-142k) plus his batting technique is of a proper middle order batter not wild slogs as you expect from a tailender plus he can hit hard without even trying.

 

[FearlessRoar]

How was Jahandads bowling.

Hitting pads

 

[FearlessRoar]

I am waiting for Abdul Samad

 

[gazza619]

Most batters got set and lost their wickets. Fakhar scored 20 off 24 balls, Faizan 2 off 8 balls, Kamran 11 off 13 balls

Agha is currently 12 off 28 balls.

But hey it is all Rizwan’s fault yet again for being still out there fighting it out. @Rana @mominsaigol

 

[Omer2002]

I am waiting for Abdul Samad

Lol so am i to be honest they are all putting too much pressure on him

 

[gazza619]

I am waiting for Abdul Samad

If he is the from the same breed that I am aware of, he is due a failure today.

I didn't even watch the match today as I have some work tmr and need to prepare. Magar good for The Kaptaan ig. He now joins the pantheon of the remarkable by making a valiant 33 and being dismissed.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Mehran strike....RIZWAN gone

Samad to come or Iftikhar time???

 

[Omer2002]

OH DEAR Rizzy gya

 

[BouncerGuy]

Iffi, the tailender, comes in.

@gazza619 why do you guys always jump the gun? Kamas kam century to honei detei before jinxing it

 

[FearlessRoar]

Chacha's time now

 

[mominsaigol]

Iffi, the tailender, comes in.

Yes because the batsmen that just got out was a superstar batter.

Rizwan goes and ifti walks in, How is that any different from the previous 39 deliveries at the crease?

Ho gayi fight?

 

[mominsaigol]

Ho gayi fight?

We keep warning them about celebrating early, Phir woi ghalti? Unbelievable

 

[RyanRyan10]

Ho gayi fight?

They are happy with others failing which enables them to propagate there's no batting talent in Pakistan and without the star duo, Pakistan would start losing to Uganda, PNG, Nepal, Namibia etc

 

[Rana]

Man was fighting and then gave a dolly to deep midwicket

He’s been doing this nonsense throughout the World Cup in India too but you don’t want to see it like that

 

[Rana]

What’s Rizwan’s main tactic? Purposely breaking the bowlers rhythm by lying about the sightscreen?

 

[mominsaigol]

He's a fighter

 

[mominsaigol]

We are seeing Misbah's classic vision back on screen, 24 overs 105 for 4 lol.

 

[Rana]

He's a fighter

Fighting so hard to destroy the fabric of Pakistan cricket completely

 

[Rana]

We are seeing Misbah's classic vision back on screen, 24 overs 105 for 4 lol.

This is the plan

To tell Naqvi that Misbah’s way of cricket is the modern way of cricket

 

[RidiculousMan]

Waiting to see how Abdul Samad performs against a better and more complete bowling attack today

 

[IMMY69]

Goes quiet when Rizwan is at the crease and then livens up again as soon as gets out...

 

[RidiculousMan]

Aqeel Samar has a good voice. He should also be commentating in international games.

 

[RidiculousMan]

This is an unusual thread.
Goes quiet when Rizwan is at the crease and then livens up again as soon as gets out...

These supporters go to ground when he is in crease. To support him. Then comeback here when he gets out.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Hussain Talat at his best is a part time bowler.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Overall the ground looks terrible as since 2007 they've been using it for hosting weddings and catering etc;

 

[batandballbattle]

agha is probably one of our most underrated players atm
no PR hype machines for him but he has been very decent for us

 

[batandballbattle]

nazar laga diya still not a bad effort

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Chacha still proving he is the best young talent in Pakistan.

 

[RidiculousMan]

What a shot by Abdul Samad. Complete control

 

[Deewana Mastana]

The outfield, the less said the better.

 

[Omer2002]

Has sammad just floored haris ..hr does look a young ifti u know

 

[adi_62941]

Samad reminds me of young sohaib maqsood when he entered in Pak international team. He bamboozled everyone with his attractive playing style later turning into dust

 

[FearlessRoar]

I am more worried for Abdul Samad than Haris Rauf

https://twitter.com/x/status/1835302751653204089

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Bowling standards are pathetic to say the least.

 

[mominsaigol]

This guy samad is your new no 6

 

[Omer2002]

Samad reminds me of young sohaib maqsood when he entered in Pak international team. He bamboozled everyone with his attractive playing style later turning into dust

Well said i was thinking of young ifti.but i think maqsood is ritw

 

[Deewana Mastana]

This guy samad is your new no 6

Here we go was just a matter of time these were going to come out to the open.

I was surprised there wasn't a thread opened after his 62 off 25 the other day.

 

[FearlessRoar]

This guy samad is your new no 6

InshaAllah, i am already his huge fan

 

[RidiculousMan]

Samad reminds me of young sohaib maqsood when he entered in Pak international team. He bamboozled everyone with his attractive playing style later turning into dust

He reminds me of Dwayne Smith but more agile.

 

[gazza619]

Here we go was just a matter of time these were going to come out to the open.

I was surprised there wasn't a thread opened after his 62 off 25 the other day.

One more knock and he will be our proposed captain in all 3 formats.

 

[adi_62941]

Cant see much families or ladies turning out into crowd shows the radicalization and polarization happened in our society especially small cities

 

[RidiculousMan]

Abdul Sammad passed the game awareness Test that 90% of our batters fail when he played a high risk shot towards deep mid on. But because there was no fielder there, even a mistimed shot went for four and not into any fielder's hand.
