[Justcrazy]

will add another useless 50 here

 

[Sizzling Soul]

fifty for misbah, so far good batting kapt

 

[Hawkeye]

not true.. how many time he left stranded

I can recall at least two instances. NZ 2011 (when total chased) and CT 2013.

Most of the times, total got chased before he reached 100, usually when he was on 60-80.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

50 up

 

[Fallen King]

I am not surprised by failure of top order batsmen, that includes Ahmed Shehzad #overrated.

Pakistan team is depending on Sarfraz Ahmad and Misbah now.

 

[Sizzling Soul]

will add another useless 50 here

not Useless,at least he is doing some thing

 

[FreeBird]

I still have hope that Pak may win this game, but soon as Misbah scores a fifty, we are done.
The chances of winning will be reduced to minimum.

 

[namak]

will add another useless 50 here

Would you prefer he got out at 6 off 3 balls?

 

[Sizzling Soul]

Where is the clean hitting?

kiwis are doing clean hitting

 

[Pete Rose]

I do not understand why Management has become blind for so many years to someone like Hafeez

Because the belief is that mediocre cricketers who do well against minnows are better than trying new players who are likely to need a longer rope.
For me playing mediocre players like hafeeZ hurts Pakistan long term as it gives future mediocre players hope

 

[Justcrazy]

Can Misbah get to hundred here , and break the Jinx ?

 

[pakistanisgreat]

misbah is looking for big hit

 

[DarkKnightRisesAgain]

So whats Akmal Brigade are gonna say in response to this pathetic performance by their savior? Thats why I have said before that this guy has no talent or technique whatsoever, he is so much hyped and overrated on PP, if he comes up or down the order, he's just a mediocre slogger with occasional 50 but nothing special!

 

[coy0607]

I am not surprised by failure of top order batsmen, that includes Ahmed Shehzad #overrated.

Pakistan team is depending on Sarfraz Ahmad and Misbah now.

Hafeez and Younis are totally useless, Shehzad and Akmal's batting is increasingly concerning
The batting in general is a total mess- I can't see how they win more than 2 or 3 games in the WC

 

[Fallen King]

Good fifty by Misbah. He is finding his form at the right time. #still poor ODI player though

Much better than the whole batting line though.

 

[FreeBird]

I still have hope that Pak may win this game, but soon as Misbah scores a fifty, we are done.
The chances of winning will be reduced to minimum.

There u go.
He reaches 50.

I guess what might change our fate now is if Misbah scores a 100.
He has NEVER done this before so lets hope that changes today.

 

[dhump]

Can Misbah get to hundred here , and break the Jinx ?

They dont have players to last with him to score another 50 runs.

 

[Justcrazy]

with this top order Pakistan expect to beat India ?

This top order would be tested by a Indian state team.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

I still have hope that Pak may win this game, but soon as Misbah scores a fifty, we are done.
The chances of winning will be reduced to minimum.

Yes because other batsmen hit 20 off 10 balls and played at great pace.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

PP time

 

[Arsal_AK]

How can he get to a 100 when all other team gets out?

Story of his life.

Lol.

His lack of hundreds has nothing to do with him being left alone. Its lack of ability, otherwise he has had a lot of opportunities till now.

 

[amomin]

Can someone hope Misbah doesn't play that dumb reverse in the World Cup. I always see him out on that shot

 

[Smbhayi]

I can recall at least two instances. NZ 2011 (when total chased) and CT 2013.

Most of the times, total got chased before he reached 100, usually when he was on 60-80.

lol.. do you complain misbah not getting century bcz chase is finished before he reaches century.?

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

Can anyone show the stats to Misbah and Younis how many times the same top order has failed in overseas conditions? Or home for that matter. Or does it work in Misbah's favor that he is needed as a rescuer until he is 45.

 

[Fallen King]

Hafeez and Younis are totally useless, Shehzad and Akmal's batting is increasingly concerning
The batting in general is a total mess- I can't see how they win more than 2 or 3 games in the WC

Shehzad won't be able to last long against quality bowling attacks. That was expected.

Regarding Umar Akmal, we lost him to mediocrity of slogging-department long time ago. He is no longer middle-order batsman.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

hope sarfaraz utalize PP

 

[Ottoman]

Time for Sarfraz to take over from Misbah

 

[pakistanisgreat]

outttttttttttttttttttt

 

[Hawkeye]

They dont have players to last with him to score another 50 runs.

And there you go.

All others getting out.

How can Misbah get to a ton?

 

[Sizzling Soul]

with this top order Pakistan expect to beat India ?

This top order would be tested by a Indian state team.

Huh yes yes indian top order is hitting 100 runs partnerships .LOLS

 

[Ottoman]

What the Hell?

 

[FreeBird]

Lol.

His lack of hundreds has nothing to do with him being left alone. Its lack of ability, otherwise he has had a lot of opportunities till now.

yep .. Misbah had 152 chances to score a hundred.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

another given away wicket

 

[NZcricketfan]

My sarfraz flop predictions coming true do far

 

[Sizzling Soul]

annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd Sarfi out

 

[ask_analyse_act]

and that with a SR under 90 would be disastrous for Pakistan

when all the other batsman couldnt get past 30 runs, and u haters keep trying...

 

[amomin]

Now everyone is going to blame Misbah and not the other 10 batsmen.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Sarfraz has just one sweep shot..

Put a player there, and watch him get out...

 

[pakistanisgreat]

afridi is in

 

[Sam18696]

Nothing new happening here. Captain trying to bail the team out, people after his neck.

 

[Arsal_AK]

I can recall at least two instances. NZ 2011 (when total chased) and CT 2013.

Most of the times, total got chased before he reached 100, usually when he was on 60-80.

That happens to all the people. You make it sound as if Misbah is the only one.

Haris was on 80 something and Maqsood 89* recently from Pak alone.

 

[timeflies]

Ending up quite like India yesterday.

 

[Smbhayi]

I still have hope that Pak may win this game, but soon as Misbah scores a fifty, we are done.
The chances of winning will be reduced to minimum.

lol.. If your top 5 back to the dressing room before reaching 100, 7/10 match you'll lose that match..

 

[Justcrazy]

six down

 

[amomin]

This sweeping off of fast bowler is ridiculous. Sarfaraz idiot

 

[Ottoman]

with this top order Pakistan expect to beat India ?

This top order would be tested by a Indian state team.

So what happened against Eng yesterday.

 

[Theo_14]

Cheap shot by a player who's consistently been giving his wicket away cheaply.

 

[imshally81]

 

[pakistanisgreat]

lala 444444444444444

 

[Hawkeye]

Afridi is here to break ABD's record.

Not to play for the team

 

[Sizzling Soul]

afridi straight away

 

[Fallen King]

[MENTION=37180]coy0607[/MENTION]

I forgot to offer my inputs on Younus/Hafeez. They were crap, and they are crap. I have said this many times already.

* One player is blackmailing through the media into ODI WC squad
* Other claim to be specialist spinner hence the position of opener

I mean the priority has now changed since PCB is selecting openers who are specialist spinners, not who are specialist openers.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Ohh Yeah.. My fantasy captain , we want more of those

 

[Sizzling Soul]

So what happened against Eng yesterday.

he didn't watch that match huhu

 

[Fallen King]

Judging by your commentary, my streaming must be way behind.

 

[FreeBird]

Even those sweet white girls enjoyed Afridi's 4

 

[Bilal7]

Afridi is here to break ABD's record.

Not to play for the team

Breaking ABD's record would be the best thing anyone has done for the team today.

 

[Ottoman]

When you sweep. Try to keep the ball down.

1st thing my coach told me when he taught me to sweep.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

common boys needs 80 runs partnership

 

[Sizzling Soul]

Judging by your commentary, my streaming must be way behind.

watch khantv.com , they have ahead streaming

 

[Smbhayi]

wow when Umar Akmal and Sir Faraz get out.?

 

[Shafi]

YK really destroy our team balance. Should have some proud to retire from ODI if he can not perform. That's why our seniors retire with humilation.

 

[imshally81]

There u go.
He reaches 50.

He has NEVER done this before so lets hope that changes today.

He has NEVER done that..!! ANd you expect him to do that today in a situation like this. ??

 

[Sizzling Soul]

Afridi again

 

[imshally81]

YK really destroy our team balance. Should have some proud to retire from ODI if he can not perform. That's why our seniors retire with humilation.

[Sam18696]

[pakistanisgreat]

common afridi chill

 

[GreenKnightRises]

wow when Umar Akmal and Sir Faraz get out.?

Within a blink of an aye

 

[Shafi]

If we had Fawad in the team we could be end up 180/3 at this stage.

 

[Justcrazy]

Afridi should look to bat calmly for next 8 overs here.

 

[imshally81]

 

[pakistanisgreat]

444444444 more

 

[GreenKnightRises]

[Mr Consistent]

 

[Ottoman]

[Sizzling Soul]

afridi with some sense, 4 more

 

[Smbhayi]

Afridi is here to break ABD's record.

Not to play for the team

oho that's why this..
35.6
Anderson to Shahid Afridi, no run, length ball on off stump, Afridi brings out a defensive shot to end the over
