Nah.

But we have Shehzad today.

 

[Syed1]

There is a match on today?




LOL good luck team Pakistan. Seems like another easy win for the kiwis.

 

[Abdul]

But we have Shehzad today.

 

[Abdul]

Umar Amin needs to be opening ahead of Shehzad.

 

[prepare]

Let's hope for a better performance!

No Williamson, bad news for us.

 

[Abdullah719]

No Hafeez no Shehzad

 

[Poutine]

Wow, No Hafeez or Shahzad.

 

[Abdullah719]

 

[Plumb]

We arereally serious about winning then..

 

[jog_1]

That’s a good playing 11.

 

[Red Devil]

Looks like a pretty decent team.

Haha, yup, No Kiwis will lose any sleep with Williamson being unfit. He's probably a liability in the T20 side, unless it was on an especially difficult wicket.

 

[Syed1]

What?!?!??!


No Hafeez No Shehzad?????




I'm crying tears of joy

 

[Saeed]

The teams looks good except Babar, he looks so weak. We need strong power hitters in T20, not people like Talented Babar. They better not tuk tuk today, we need at least 180.

 

[shokz1408]

Looks like a pretty good team that, with us batting first I think we have a chance..

 

[Railu Katta]

Amin will fail, Babar can't play T20s and Nawaz is gonna get owned on this small ground. But then again I don't expect Pakistan to do anything anyway. Fun cricket

 

[world cup captain]

Is everything ok? Did we miss something? Where is selfie and professor?

 

[Saeed]

Amin will fail, Babar can't play T20s and Nawaz is gonna get owned on this small ground. But then again I don't expect Pakistan to do anything anyway. Fun cricket

Yeah. In gulli Cricket people like Babar say, bro please don’t bowl fast, let me hit just one six.

 

[QalandarFan]

Wow the oldest person in that team is 30. Don't remember the last time we played a match without at least one 35+ year old.

 

[Railu Katta]

Yeah. In gulli Cricket people like Babar say, bro please don’t bowl fast, let me hit just one six.

He's gonna tuk tuk and try to hit a six and get caught or he might just get LBW or caught behind early. He is the new Fawad Alam who can barely clear the 30 yard circle )

 

[world cup captain]

The average age of this team is 25. So beautiful

 

[Imr4n_Khan]

Pakistan is off to a great start by dropping Hafeez and not picking Shahzad

 

[Imr4n_Khan]

What is the news on the weather?

 

[lahoriyah1234]

He's gonna tuk tuk and try to hit a six and get caught or he might just get LBW or caught behind early. He is the new Fawad Alam who can barely clear the 30 yard circle )

Oh bhai jaan. Who ever told babar that he is a main batsmen and he needs to play 50 overs, need a kick in the back, he is young let him play freely and tell him go out there and enjoy, u bare no responsibility whatsoever. Management team has put unnecessary pressure on him and he is struggling. Same babar was smashing Australia in Aus and he also played really well in the last nzl series.

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Pakistan should make every effort to win this game at any cost. So important for this team to win tonight.

 

[BunnyRabbit]

Get Yamin ahead of Babar or Haris. Otherwise the team is pretty good. Bowling is strong.

 

[Red Devil]

Get Yamin ahead of Babar or Haris. Otherwise the team is pretty good. Bowling is strong.

Don't mind a bit of solidity in the middle order, as long as they don't waste too many deliveries.

 

[dauntless]

Ganja bowling well so far

 

[Nasty Naz]

I love Haris and all but he should be limited to ODI and Tests.

 

[DHONI_FAN]

It's swinging

 

[Railu Katta]

Amin batting exactly like I expected...

 

[Mocking Bird]

Don't be so xcited. They 'll be back in the next game

 

[dauntless]

Lower order is good but top order is just meh

 

[dauntless]

One of faheem or nawaz should bat at 3

 

[Da_Future_Knick]

Amin is gonna score a match winning 80+

 

[jog_1]

People talk about Amin having great technique, his feet don’t even move.

 

[Red Devil]

Pitch doesn't look easy to bat on.

 

[dauntless]

Tim southee is really a poor bowler overall but in t20s he is just poorer

 

[Nasty Naz]

Ahh remember when people were pining for Amin to be on this team? Good times that.

 

[ZyzzBrah]

Lol anyone notice they spelt babar Azam as babar azman. Found that funny.

 

[coy0607]

This is a super important game- if we want to keep Shehzad and Hafeez out of this team, absolutely cannot lose this

The most important game Pak has played since the CT final

 

[DHONI_FAN]

Hack gonev

 

[dauntless]

These wild swings by fakhar are really awful to watch

 

[angrypathan]

Ridiculous shot from Fakhar

 

[Saeed]

Fakhar almost got out with a horrible shot.

 

[Hiraeth]

Fakhar is such a hack, will pay of sometimes but boy he’s ugly to watch.

And hacks a delivery and he’s gone.

 

[jog_1]

Fakhar Zaman looks like a tailender. He used to play good shots now its all slogging.

 

[angrypathan]

Nawaz in at 3

 

[coy0607]

Fakhar is a dheela

 

[Hiraeth]

Nawaz at 3......

 

[dauntless]

Yeah nawaz at 3! Wish granted!

 

[shah_1]

Hack gone

Ugly batsman, don't see a long future for him.

 

[Saeed]

And he is .

 

[Railu Katta]

We need Sharjeel back desperately, Fakhar is nowhere near as good as him.

 

[angrypathan]

And dropped first ball )

 

[Big Mac]

*Puts on Sky Sports*

*Sees Fakhar slice to cover like a tailender*

*Turns TV off and prepares to go to bed*

 

[Da_Future_Knick]

Nawaz at 3 WOW

 

[dauntless]

LOL! What was that

 

[Sean143]

People talk about Amin having great technique, his feet don’t even move.

his reflexes have slowed down I always rated him but don't do it anymore

 

[DHONI_FAN]

Haha.. Almost another

 

[Railu Katta]

Amin is gonna score a match winning 80+

Don't run away when he fails

 

[MMHS]

Fakhar looks like has been worked out - after 1st innings of the series, he is batting like a tail.

 

[Nasty Naz]

This tour has been such an embarrassment. Even worse than the recent England/Australia tour.

Outclassed in every facet of the game.

 

[coy0607]

Sarfraz not afraid to experiment - give him that

 

[MMHS]

1-2-3 lefti and guy hasn't scored in T20 yet!!!!!

 

[AssassinatedDevil]

Don't know the logic of sending nawaz at 3

 

[jog_1]

This pitch is swinging, looks a bit slow and tough to bat on.

 

[Nasty Naz]

What? Nawaz at 3?

This is shocking and incomprehensible.

 

[Hiraeth]

Once in a generation talent in strike m, and looking like a tail ender.

 

[MMHS]

I guess Arthur is doing an "expose" job - Nawaz at 3!!!

 

[angrypathan]

Pakistan on track for a competitive total of 10

 

[coy0607]

No timing at all.. this is like watching school kids

 

[QalandarFan]

0 (3) and 0 (6) This is hard to watch.

 

[angrypathan]

Amin gone for a duck. We're playing worse than minnows at the moment

 

[Usman Chadda]

This is so sad to watch. The batsmen are struggling with their timing because of the bounce. They all look like tail-enders.

 

[Hiraeth]

Lol once in a generation talent gone.

 

[shah_1]

Amin is a bloody failure lol
