Pakistan (165/4) defeat Zimbabwe (108) by 57 runs to win the 1st T20I

[Wasim Ghulam]

Asif ali and Iftikhar is miles better than Usman khan and Agha.. heck one would back axam khan instead of these players

 

[RidiculousMan]

Whenever a team starts to consolidate and starts to dig up a tent in T20s. You know they are digging their graves and have gotten the selection, tactics and match strategy wrong.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Asif ali and Iftikhar is miles better than Usman khan and Agha.. heck one would back axam khan instead of these players

Azam is a tricky one. On one hand he is not fit but on another the power he posses is undeniable.

 

[khyberlion]

Someone here said that Salman is the best middle order we have for T20I

It must have been Salman himself. He's clearly useless in limited overs.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Tayyab with that strong bottom hand

 

[Sycamore]

Whats the point of picking young players when guys like Rizwan play 50 deliveries in odis, and agha waste easy overs whilst youngsters have to slog last few overs.

 

[shah_1]

I like the look of Tayyab Tahir

 

[RidiculousMan]

Tayyab showing how a genuine middle order batter is supposed to bat in white ball

 

[RidiculousMan]

I like the look of Tayyab Tahir

One of the better middle order batters we have in white ball

 

[Deewana Mastana]

117 with 4 overs left

Brilliant

 

[mominsaigol]

@mominsaigol

I never said that? Pin it where I said it you fraud.

 

[khyberlion]

We dont have talent nor any other options

Anyone can do a better job than him. We might not have the talent but you don't need any to outperform Salman.

 

[angrypathan]

Tayyab is another low bounce specialist, still rate him more than Usman though, doesn’t look like a deer caught in headlights at the international level

 

[RidiculousMan]

Despite Tayyab's physique he runs with full commitment.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

They can't play Raza

13 dots

 

[Omer2002]

Asif ali and Iftikhar is miles better than Usman khan and Agha.. heck one would back axam khan instead of these players

Not asif ali but yes iftikhar but he got so much slack from us

That Samad guy has had a couple of good innings and is very well built but again i dnt have any hope of him

 

[Kianig89]

Agha gave ownage to aggressive crocket Pakistan fans club

 

[FearlessRoar]

I think we should introduce the Masakadza-Azam Trophy in consideration of this intense rivalry

 

[mominsaigol]

The middle order Botched the start that saim and omair gave sadly

 

[Deewana Mastana]

They can't play Raza

13 dots

Raza at 40 is still fit and throwing himself on the field than the whole Pak team

 

[Asif321]

How Agha is captain is mind blowing

 

[FearlessRoar]

Probably the most nervous innings of his career.

[Kianig89]

So it will be a low total good test for bowlers

 

[Kianig89]

Agha Salman made Shan Masood as Bradman

 

[Kianig89]

Agha should be rested for all important SA T20s for next 2 games

 

[PakFan2010]

Usman Khan is top scorer and I see fans in this thread complain.

Do they prefer to watch King Babar and his beautiful cover drives? The same King that chokes when it matters.

 

[imshally81]

Lucky byes

 

[imshally81]

Dropped

 

[Bewal Express]

We lack talent and for those idiots that just thought Babar and Riz were the problem, well you have seen our depth. The problem isn't the players, it's the useless PCB with a murderous thug at the top and boot polishers that have gone before him.

 

[imshally81]

Agha isn't a t20 player

 

[m.shah]

At least irfan has some shots

 

[Usman Chadda]

Our batsmen look like they haven’t held a cricket bat before.

The culture of defensive mindset is so ingrained in every single batsman in our domestic cricket, no one is capable of hitting the big shots.

 

[imshally81]

Tahir is much better player than agha

 

[Speedster1]

Tahir good finish to the over couple boundaries. Better intent than agha

 

[imshally81]

Good shot by Tayyab

 

[imshally81]

Back to back boundaries

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Agricultural hacks by Tayyab bring back memories of

 

[imshally81]

Good end of innings ...good shot by Tayyab in the end

 

[Deewana Mastana]

165 it is

 

[RidiculousMan]

Beautifully accelerated innings by Tayyab Tahir. Helped Pakistan post a good score considering the pitch

 

[imshally81]

Tayyab is much better player than Usman, Irfan, Agha and Shahzada Farhan

 

[Deewana Mastana]

You breed what you sow

Salman did his best to keep the total below 170

Salman alone wasted like 10 deliveries.

It’s funny when Zim commentator correcting Amir Sohail pronouncing Gwandu and telling him that W is silent in the name.

Rizwan and Babar?

Have you learnt nothing.

 

[Asif321]

Salman is just a lower Order Test player , Lahori lobby made sure he is made captain in the formats which doesn’t suit him at all

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

How about this?

1. Saim
2. Harris (WK)
3. Babar
4. Fakhar
5. Tayyab
6. Shadab

if harris can do better than rizwan at top why not

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

Rizwan and Babar?

Have you learnt nothing.

dude i have learnt many things. one thing that i learnt is that we got no talent waiting behind riz and babar

 

[Rana]

Why should Pakistan go back to Rizwan and Babar????

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

Why should Pakistan go back to Rizwan and Babar????

because they will not be dropped

 

[Rana]

because they will not be dropped

They are crap

Pakistan scored close to 170 without them. The only guy holding Pakistan down is the parchi captain

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

They are crap

Pakistan scored close to 170 without them. The only guy holding Pakistan down is the parchi captain

i dnt think Usman is better than Babar ., Strike rate is similar and looks ugly on the crease. Good teams wont let you score 165 after 100 in 15

 

[followed]

Usman the ugly hack with big teeth after getting dropped scored 39 off 30 balls. He is such a poor back.

He is not a batsman. He is shame to batsmanship.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Reverse sweep 4

 

[followed]

Abrar ahmed the nerd is terrible as well.
No point in investing in him.

 

[imshally81]

Good over by Jahandad

 

[imshally81]

Bowled Emm

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Bennett bowled Abrar gets the first one

 

[RidiculousMan]

Abrarcadabra

 

[Deewana Mastana]

That's a good shot 6

Straight down the ground

 

[imshally81]

Another gone

 

[Ahmed216]

Attacking the stumps Abrar

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Bowled next ball

Myers gone 2 in the over for Abrar

 

[RidiculousMan]

This is not an easy pitch to bat against Spin. Ball keeps low at times.

Still good wicket to wicket bowling by Abrar

 

[khyberlion]

Abrar getting carried away with his performance against Zimbabwe. Needs to be bought down back to earth. He's an average bowler.

 

[shaz619]

Abrar getting carried away with his performance against Zimbabwe. Needs to be bought down back to earth. He's an average bowler.

Somebody should have a word and tell him to start bowling underarm, the lowly peasant should know his place. Doesn’t deserve to take wickets for his team. Shame on Abrar. All hail KhyberBilly.

Lol yeah he is terrible. He has been beaten badly by england and other teams.

He does those over the top celebration. Like he is nikka putar of Shane Warne.

 

[imshally81]

Face like M Amir
Action like Shaheen
Bowling like Wahab Riaz

This is Jehandad khan for you

 

[shaz619]

They are crap

Pakistan scored close to 170 without them. The only guy holding Pakistan down is the parchi captain

The innings proved how badly Babar & Rizwan were crippling the team by batting in the top order. Like the openers were much better equipped today but there are even better options for the PP, yet, these blokes who don’t mind freeing their arms, helped Pakistan to a competitive total, could have been a match winning one was it not for Agha’s batting

 

[RidiculousMan]

One poor game against England on a road in Test match and everyone brings their knives out.

Incredible fans we have.

 

[m.shah]

Expensive over

 

[Kianig89]

Zim playing fiyah with fiyah

 

[imshally81]

Back to back boundaries

 

[Kianig89]

Agha captaincy will be tested

 

[m.shah]

Agha is bad captain

 

[RidiculousMan]

Zimbabwe's best player showing why he is league above the rest of his peers

 

[khyberlion]

I just stated a fact never knew Shaz would be so hurt about stating a fact. I have seen enough of Abrar to know he's rubbish.
