Pakistan (134) fall short as Australia (147/9) win the second T20I by 13 runs taking unassailable 2-0 lead with 1 game remaining

[jnaveen1980]

This score will be right up babar and rizwan's alley

 

[mominsaigol]

Who is the fielding coach ? Or we don't have one ?

Mohammad Masroor

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Naseem doing this after bowling horrendously

 

[Ahmed216]

Judging by the pitch 150-160 looks like a good total for our batting line up

 

[Asad T]

It's also quite remarkable that Pakistan have Australia at 124/6 after having dropped 4 catches.

whoa, you are alive!

 

[BouncerGuy]

Shaheen getting smoked by a bowler... LOl

 

[mango_bite77]

Mohammad Masroor

Yeah quite evident.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Captain Mike Brearley is looking excited. wow they are talking about IPL non stop.

 

[Asad T]

Win-Viz knows nothing

 

[Rana]

160 will be interesting

 

[BouncerGuy]

whoa, you are alive!

This Pakistan bowling and fielding woke many.

 

[volcyz]

Rubbish medium pace bowling by Naseem

 

[Dantheone]

Fielding simply pathetic. Bowling too many bad balls.

 

[Farah Sohail]

Bowling short pitch .. Has Naseem really gone out of his mind?

 

[mango_bite77]

Naseem is getting phainty , should be dropped asap

 

[BouncerGuy]

Naseem should be rested for next game... he has been a passenger in t20s

 

[alishahid]

This will be naseems last t20 match. Guy is useless in this format. Get in jahandad khan for the next match

 

[lazy cricketer]

Naseem has fallen below average time to kick this clown out

 

[Farah Sohail]

Naseem should be replaced by Jahandad Khan next game

 

[IAJ]

Bowl a bit wider yaar, both batsmen are targeting on-side

 

[mango_bite77]

What have they eaten ? Rizwan too has been poor behind the stumps today.

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

horrible fielding even by Rizwan. fumbled a few

 

[jnaveen1980]

There is no 360 degree player int his line up other than Maxwell.

 

[mango_bite77]

Bowl a bit wider yaar, both batsmen are targeting on-side

Kyu? Dimag kyu use kre ?

 

[imshally81]

Finally a Yorker

 

[emranabbas]

Need to stop thos trend of players playing based on reputation

 

[IAJ]

Shabash Rauf

 

[IAJ]

Hope he get’s 5 here

 

[BouncerGuy]

Another one for Haris. He is unstopable

 

[imshally81]

Bowled Emm

 

[PakPremi]

Naseem Run machine followed by Haris wicket machine.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Not out?

Caught behind lol

 

[BouncerGuy]

Hope he get’s 5 here

he would have had 6 if those catches had not been dropped

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Rauf on fyah

 

[jnaveen1980]

[PakPremi]

Mohammad Masroor

No wonder they smiling after missing catches, masroor means happy.

 

[IAJ]

Lol the batsman doesn’t want to face Rauf

 

[Mamoon]

Some people were doing bhangra after 3 overs

 

[IAJ]

Ouch

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Rauf Ouch!!!

 

[Ahmed216]

Bowlers didn't let their shoulders drop after spilled catches.

Rauf has been awesome with Sufyan and Abbas not far behind

 

[Asad T]

is this a new Haris Rauf? or just a flash in the pan

 

[Deewana Mastana]

RAM game tonight

Rauf Abbas Muqeem

Just need the batters to step up

 

[Asad T]

Hope Rauf it ok, that ankle twist lookeed nasty

 

[IAJ]

Leg-side hack.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

4-22 Rauf

 

[IAJ]

Well bowled Haris!

 

[Ahmed216]

is this a new Haris Rauf? or just a flash in the pan

Somehow he feels at home in Australia.

Could be the confidence from his Big bash stint very early in his career

 

[Caved12]

Yeah I agree those two wicket to wicket balls were very good.

Variation I agree is needed especially in T20 but there were the occasional bowls that were pitched short and also bowled a full toss. Mainly down to nerves since it's his debut.

After the wickets thought his line and length improved drastically and in the end, ended being a really good spell. So I therefore respectfully agree with you in the end hehe

I tend to get really excited about new players, even though my years of experience in cricket give me a good sense of what they’re capable of. I know I can be wrong, and I’ve been proven wrong many times before. I think when it comes to having a promising spinner on the team, it’s something that’s bound to excite any Pakistani fan!

 

[IAJ]

Pakistan should make the most of PP later on, it certainly get’s tougher to bat after pp

 

[mominsaigol]

Somehow he feels at home in Australia.

Could be the confidence from his Big bash stint very early in his career

Yeah he's been terrific in Aus. Defo man of this entire series. He's made me change my mind about him

 

[Ahmed216]

What a comeback!!

Some people were doing bhangra after 3 overs

 

[imshally81]

Wide

 

[G0rmintAunty]

Some people were doing bhangra after 3 overs

Has Rauf somewhat redeemed himself so far in this tour?

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Fantastic

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Good recovery after that cack bowling at the start

 

[volcyz]

Abbas big bash contract loading

 

[emranabbas]

Some people were doing bhangra after 3 overs

Then - harris - abbas - sufyan happened

Good squad by aqib

 

[imshally81]

Easy 2s are available

 

[Asad T]

lollll what a shot from Hardie
such a Pakistani thing for him to do

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Abbas is very good, good with the bat too. Should be persisted.

 

[BouncerGuy]

That was even slower than how our batter play.

Brilliant Abbas

 

[IAJ]

lol never seen getting out of a nothing delivery like this one. He really wanted to get out

 

[Ahmed216]

Abbas now holds the unofficial record of bowling the worst wicket ball

 

[Mamoon]

Has Rauf somewhat redeemed himself so far in this tour?

No. Credit goes to Rizwan for utilizing this brainless bowler.

 

[IAJ]

But Abbas has been excellent. On hattrick now

 

[BouncerGuy]

Abbas is on a hat-trick...get it boy

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

On Hatrick

 

[volcyz]

Abbas been amazing

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Brilliant

 

[mango_bite77]

Guldozer has done good investment on him

 

[IAJ]

should have have gone for a Yorker there

 

[Asad T]

That was even slower than how our batter play.

Brilliant Abbas

post of the week candidate here

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

Jeez another Fumble by Rizwan

 

[Omer2002]

Absolute awful catching n fielding yet to restrict them to 148

 

[mominsaigol]

3 Things I haven't liked about this series and 3 things I have

What I disliked

A) Aus batting wise was a dissapointment and fielding wise in odi series were below mediocre

B) Umpires were hella biased towards Australia when giving wides.

C) Shaheen and Naseem were by far the worst bowlers and pakistan fielding wise were hilarious especially Agha and Babar.

What I liked

A) Rizzu is a massive improvement over bobby as captain. And I'm saying this as someone who doesn't like rizzu. However he's been a breathe of fresh air over babar who was utter atrocious. Plus I like how he holds back drs reviews and only takes them when needed over bobby

B) Rauf Younis has been been killing it in Australia.

C) Saim finding rhythm and fans changing their viewpoints on them.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Ugly innings by Australia.

 

[Devadwal]

Modest Target - 148

Babar and Rizwan co. After seeing the Target

 

[mango_bite77]

Rizwan the Joker has given more euns as byes than he will score today

 

[imshally81]

Great bowling by Abbas
