What's new

Pakistan (148/0) thrash Zimbabwe (145) by 10 wickets in the second ODI to level the 3-match series 1-1

I see Myers has a fc average of 53, not surprising given the way he is batting now.
 
Abrar Agha and faisel akram the key here
If captain clueless don't mess it up the game is ours. Field set needs to be aggressive for spinners
 
Very nice... Wah. Drop these easy catches and expect to win in the end. Pathetic from KG

What is the purpose of Irfan Khan at 7?

What is the purpose of him in squad at first place ? You can't play someone just because he is a good fielder. You are wasting a spot. But not sure what PCB has seen in him which even he himself would not be aware.
 
i really don't get the point of risking Harris for a Zimbabwe game
imagine if he gets injured for the ct
 
Great captaincy by kaptaana.

Kept mid off up for a part timer after he got hit for a 6. Kept the bait.

Makes Agha look like a proper spinner.
 
Why was Haris looking good in Aussieland yet here he looks a trundler. 5 down or not they bat deep this bennett guy is better than half of our team. They already have 100 on the board and with our world class batting line up Zimbabwe have enough i am afraid.

Riz: Let's test our emerging players

[bowls 5 overs of Rauf, 7 of Salman, none of Faisal]

Yes. this is crazy. Haris and Jamal are getting smoked but he is not letting them go.

Here comes faisal now
 
Saim is someone who can be a good bowler. He has some good variations.
 
Also have you noticed one thing.,Zimbos are 5 down and still NOT one tuk tuk from them. They look comfortable and looking for runs with intent that's how you play one day cricket not go in your shell.
 
Sean Williams is key, he's the best player of spin in zim and can punish pakistan. Ik for a fact pakistan ain't chasing anything over 200. The batters can't play spin
 
If rizwan play 1 more pacer in the next 10 overs hev should be sacked from captaincy from immediate effect
 
was a poor decision by Williams to play reverse but i dont blame him. Surely Rizzy knows this score is too much and wont let this get away

Pakistan will win of the score is under 200. 200 or above then zim wins. Their spinners are better and pur batters play spin much much worse.

Only rizzu can sweep and he ain't a good sweeper of the ball

Already a winning score this or?

Naw I would say zimb are under par.

They shpuld aim for 200. Just keep ticking away and try to reach that mark.

Once 200 is reached they'll win

Let's hope Faisal doesn't overbowll his wrong ones. I would advise him to never miss watching kuldeep bowl

Bro any spinner will be automatically > Someone who was recommended by Misbah.

Misbah = Nepotism.

Ever since Misbah retired these are all his favourite picks

1) Rizwan
2) Abrar
3) Chacha
4) Abdul Samad
5) Waseem Jnr
6) Make Babar Captain and allow him to select Abdullah
7) T20 opener Imam
8) Usman Qadir
9) Mohammad Hasnain

Oh and let's not forget his genuis decison to make fakhar a t20 middle order batter.

I would say the only semi decent players who have come out of Misbah's leadership once he retired have been Kamran Ghulam and Saud shakeel

However saud didn't play for SNGPL long, only a little bit and Kamran is also new. Kamran wasn't under Misbah's wing from 2020 to 2023. Only recently.

Any player who's been with misbah from the start has been a lanat.

Asad shafiq and yasir Shah are the only exceptions in the test circuit.
 
Abrar can be a good LOI spinner because he attacks stumps.

Needs to improve against left handers though
 
It's gonna be tough but Zim really need to try their hardest to reach 200 to make it tough for pakistan.

A target of 130 to 150 pakistan will probs chase down with 4 to 5 wickets in hand.

He's bowling against Zimbabwe on a very spin friendly pitch mate?

I appreciate that he bowls wicket to wicket but most players won't miss lol. They'll tonk him
 
Abrar picks another one. 4th for him on debut

Zimbabwe 9 down for 133 now.

I agree it's Zimbabwe but his basics are good.

Because he bowls wicket to wicket I feel he'll always be in with a chance against good batsmen too who'll try to hit him.

Only time will tell though how he does against better oppositions
