Pakistan's current ODI team is so ordinary (esp. the batting and Azhar's lacklustre captaincy) that it does not really motivate me anymore to watch them play. It is a waste of time. Bowling has even looked ordinary in the death overs. Anwer Ali is wayward. Wahab is too inconsistent.

Watched the first T20I mainly because of Amer. He has generally bowled well but we are badly missing a match-winning spinner (Yasir) and a second good seamer (like Asif). Wahab and Irfan are support bowlers at best. Once NZ posted 280 in the first ODI, I knew the target was beyond our pathetic batting

It'll rain later in the day. Sad.

Something unpredictable can also happen and it may not rain, but... good chance.

 

[DesiPassion]

It's going to rain like crazy

Well, it was meant to start raining now, but the sun is as bright as ever and there are no signs of rain...

In your country perhaps.

Hmm... I won't mind a bit of cloud cover and we bowling first, as long as it doesn't rain.

 

[Sadevdesai]

Looks like we will have to play .... is 0-1 better or 0-2 ???

If it rains, it will be late in the 2nd innings. Team winning the toss should def bat first.

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

Any news on the toss yet? Espncricinfo are reporting the weather is fine in the commentary section

What kind of idiotic question is that ?

 

[The Last Of The Stars]

Wasn't 1-4 better for you in Australia?

 

[Sadevdesai]

0-2 may be better .... it will really shake the tree !!!

 

[90MPH]

Pak won toss and batting.

 

[90MPH]

They need score 300, 280 minimum.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Pak batting

 

[shaaik]

Pak batting then...

WTH Pakistan won the toss and still PTV sports are showing ads

 

[The Last Of The Stars]

Need to pile up 350 at least.

 

[Yanna_Rascala]

LOL bhai let's aim for 200 first and then take stock. If we aim for 300, we will be all out under 150.

 

[ChachaCricket]

Let the tuktuk begin.

 

[Hawkeye]

Where the hell is toss??

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Bad news.

Straight boundaries are short but the cow corner ( our batsmen's favorite slog) is pretty long.

Expect a lot of those ugly hoicks by Pak today

 

[Saj]

McCullum is back !

 

[Hawkeye]

LAME PATHETIC PTV SPORTS.

Why the hell are they showing ADS instead of showing the friggin' toss??

 

[The Last Of The Stars]

Such mentality should not be entertained.

Umar Akmal and Afridi are depressed.

oh wait.

Both aren't in ODIs.

 

[jog_1]

260 minimum, 280+ would be ideal.

They should aim to be 60/0 in the first 10.

 

[Hawkeye]

IF Pak batting, 400 is ON.

You heard it first here, guys. Baad mein na kehna pata nahi chala.

 

[Suleiman]

So this will be the last chance for Shehzad, and if he's not played today it will only strengthen the rumors that him and Maqsood are to be dropped for Asia Cup/Wt20.

[#GreenRoars]

We are batting first, still no news of team.

 

[The Last Of The Stars]

Who's gonna make the runs?

The scorers.

 

[Mahmood101]

Is Malik captaining today? Heard somewhere azhar was banned for 2 matches after slow overrate so Malik is taking over

Damn. How can we go to Africa now?

 

[ChachaCricket]

Are the teams unchanged?

 

[jog_1]

Only change is Big Maq out, Malik in (I think)

 

[cricfan14]

Watching Azhar captain against BMac uffff

Azhar did the toss

 

[Suleiman]

Wow.. Rizwan opening???!!

 

[The Last Of The Stars]

McCullum is overrated sometimes.

 

[Mahmood101]

Azhar did the toss

Uggggh I really was looking forward to Malik captaining

 

[BigBoy123]

Lol surprised with the team on cricbuzz
Azhar , Selfie , Babar , Hafeez , Rizwan , Sir ,Malik , Wahab , Amir , Rahat , Irfan..

B Mac and Milne playing.

 

[Mahmood101]

Wow.. Rizwan opening???!!

Great move, he's very comfortable versus Pace

McCullum is overrated sometimes.

But he probably wont let a team score 280 from 100-6

 

[cricfan14]

Shehzad is playing?!?!! Azhar I hate you so much

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

Great same old pick why Shehzad why

 

[The Last Of The Stars]

But he probably wont let a team score 280 from 100-6

He hasn't faced such a situation or has he?

 

[jog_1]

Rizwan can't be opening... where is Shehzad gonna come then? Can't have tuk tuk come anything later than the opening position, he is slow enough at that position

 

[badsha001]

azhar and malik will be bowling 10 overs each. Good move i'd say

 

[Suleiman]

I think their new ball bowlers will rip us a new one.

BUT if we chased, we would've ripped a new one ourselves.

So it's a foregone conclusion unless we see a magical transformation today.

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

Who said Rizwan is opening?

 

[The Last Of The Stars]

azhar and malik will be bowling 10 overs each. Good move i'd say

With only 3 specialist bowlers, we will need at least a score above 300.

 

[Khyam]

Who is Pakistan's tenth player

 

[Abdul]

Would have liked to see Asad Shafiq in the team.

 

[world cup captain]

Wow.. Rizwan opening???!!

Who said? He is playing at 6 as shown of cricinfo.

 

[MMHS]

Two electricians are working together, so the smarter one tells the other one,

"Buddy, pick one of the wires & grab it". So the nice guy did that.
"Do you feel any thing?" - "No,nothing".
"Great decision, be careful, don't touch the other wire, it's 440V live, you 'll die".

Azhar made a great call - in 1st match, PAK lost after putting NZ in, from 99/6; so it must be fault with the decision to bowl on a gloomy morning start; Azhar has done the opposite, this time - batting on morning start, in a 50 metre ground with rain threatening to make the chase shortened & they have picked 4 pacers.

He has tried both the alternatives, so one must be correct.

 

[Strike Rate]

We will score around 180 or 320+ today (if not another typical pakistani batting collapse).

[The Last Of The Stars]

Waqar's favourite gets a game while Zafar Gohar misses out.

 

[cricfan14]

I this team and the lack of brains.

Who the hell thinks Rizwan and Sarfraz can be 6 and 7 hitters

 

[Syed2015]

224 is going to be the score.
