Pakistan (169/1) thrash Australia (163) by 9 wickets in the second ODI to level the 3-match series 1-1

[Aviator]

It would be comical if it comes down to 14 required from 6 balls.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Perfect red-ball batting this is...

OOPPPSS this is ODI..

 

[BouncerGuy]

Yeah... 4... good.. do it bruh...

 

[Rana]

Again. Top ball

No edge

 

[Rana]

Saim not fluent but extremely frustrating for Australia.

They would have wanted him out early to have a crack at Pakistan’s middle order in the powerplay

 

[mango_bite77]

First run off Cummins. He has be outstanding

 

[Rana]

There you go. Saim doing the business

 

[Ahmed216]

Still 6 (24) is way too slow.

This is not a one off. After 23 T20I's having a SR is 122 is just not good enough. Otherwise, we should just have Riz-Bar open. The point of Ayub is to put pressure on the bowlers. But he has shown he is just not good enough do that in the international arena yet.

I think he has potential. he has shown it in domestic cricket. But I personally think the time has come to let him go back to domestic and franchise cricket and work on his game.

I think they need to back him at this level.
He's newcomer who has walked into a very uncertain environment. He needs to be backed.

He's got serious potential. T20's is not the format you judge batsman on. He can stop playing T20 I don't care.

Saw his innings in champions cup recently. The way he was toying with bowlers after getting set I've seen only fakhar Zaman do that in recent times

 

[mango_bite77]

Good shot by Ayub

 

[emranabbas]

Perfect red-ball batting this is...

OOPPPSS this is ODI..

Bro they chasing 164 not 300

 

[BouncerGuy]

Don't want this game to go past 30 overs.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

These low score thrillers are always more nerve wracking.

 

[Caved12]

Just an observation, I could be wrong but when Saim bats, his bat lift seems to come from way too high, which might be causing him to lose some time getting to the ball. This approach isn’t necessary for every shot. For example, on the ball he played at 7.5 overs and the one he hit for four afterward, I noticed a slight adjustment in his bat lift. Sometimes it feels like he does it more for style than for substance

 

[Rana]

If Saim and Abdullah knock off 64

It means Babar and Rizwan can’t get statpad 50s

 

[mango_bite77]

4 more from Abdullah, so far good for Pak.

Hazzlewood getting frustrated

 

[mango_bite77]

Take one more you Kangaroo, not sure if u clap again

 

[Shafi]

Abdullah sealed his place for next 20 matches for sure.

 

[Rana]

Papi getting smashed

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Hahaha that was brilliant from Abdullah. Perfect way to shut up a fast-bowler.

 

[PakPremi]

More than runs these two are frustrating Aussie bowlers which should help with scoring later. Plenty of time.

 

[G0rmintAunty]

Good coupla shots by Abdullah

 

[BouncerGuy]

Abdullah made fun of Hazlewood after Hazalewood tried to intimidate him. 2 back to back beauties

 

[Rana]

What a shot

 

[mango_bite77]

Six by Ayub

 

[Caved12]

Two absolutely beautiful shots by Mr. Technique

 

[Sunny_majoka]

Yes my boy

 

[Mamoon]

This victory is going to hurt a lot of people. You can clearly see in this thread that they are openly hoping that Australia win from here.

No shame, no dignity, no understanding of cricket. Just a burden on this forum.

 

[Ahmed216]

See that shot from Saim. World class

 

[heddie19]

It would be too harsh to drop your highest wicket taker of the domestic tournament right after one game. I think Shaheen should be dropped to make space for Jamal.

good that he hasn't been dropped

 

[BouncerGuy]

It feels so good when you see Australians trying to troll you but they are getting smashed.

 

[G0rmintAunty]

Good batting by these two, hitting the bad balls and capitalising after getting set.

 

[imshally81]

Finally a 50 partnership

 

[Ali Active]

Saim has been dropped from t20s which i think is the format that suits him the best

 

[MANU ROY]

Pakistan bowling improves a lot When the last time Pakistan won a match in Australia against Australia

 

[Sunny_majoka]

Saim that's your game,

 

[Caved12]

And then they have the audacity to call others out, claiming they aren’t true Pakistan cricket fans and only support individual players.

 

[Rana]

Class straight drive by Ayub

He’s bossing these bowlers now

 

[imshally81]

What a shot

 

[DeadlyVenom]

In the words of the commie oh jeez!!

What a shot. Gets him out most of the time but looks good when it works

 

[Rana]

Zindabad Saim

Keep going son!

Unfortunately there are certain people here who care more about being right than Pakistan doing well.

 

[imshally81]

Followed by No look Six

Definitely

looks like we winning this with the openers no contribution From peoples favourites lot of people will be upset

Good call.

 

[Rana]

Saim in that Sharjeel red zone targeting Starc the way he went after Mark Wood!

 

[mango_bite77]

Love to see Saim getting some confidence. Thanks Pak for persisting with him

 

[Rana]

Never doubt

Believe

Keep going my boy!

 

[heddie19]

Saim Ayub ragging Starc. Wow

 

[imshally81]

Another boundary

4,6,4

 

[Rana]

Maar puttar Saim!

 

[emranabbas]

Time to bump the open with fakhar and saim thread

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Definitely

looks like we winning this with the openers no contribution From peoples favourites lot of people will be upset

Bro Pakistan inshAllah winning one match in Aus is a big achievement

Forget the openers and rizbab etc and enjoy the happiness today

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Saim in that Sharjeel red zone targeting Starc the way he went after Mark Wood!

Saim has more talent in his left pinky finger than Sharjeel has in his entire overweight body Please keep these embarrassing comparisons to yourself.

 

[Caved12]

Kya baat Hai Saim Ayub!!

Is that you knowing there isn’t enough runs now for Babar to make a hundred?

 

[Asad T]

Yeah i'm pleasantly surprised over the last few balls he has faced.
Let's see if he can finally get a white ball 50 loll

Champions Cup is one thing. He has been solid in domestic, no doubt. He just looks really shaky in the international arena

 

[Rana]

Go on Saim take down Cummins!

 

[Farabi]

164 target . should be cakewalk .

I am waiting for apologies @Devadwal

 

[imshally81]

Good running

 

[BouncerGuy]

Saim taking on starc... Saw Fakhar doing that before.

 

[AAli98]

Wasim paid to read the scorecard

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Saim and Fakhar could be a really good opening combination for us in ODIs.

 

[Asif321]

Want to see Fakhar and Saim opening , Shafique is boring

 

[Rana]

7 off 30ish and now 40 off 42

Excellent acceleration and catch up. Gun

 

[G0rmintAunty]

I am waiting for apologies @Devadwal

Match isn't over, nazar mat lagao

 

[Markhor]

Just seen the score. Am I dreaming ?

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Wasim paid to read the scorecard

*After a Pakistani fast-bowler does well:

"Yeah I had a chat with him in the morning."

 

[imshally81]

Time to bump the open with fakhar and saim thread

3 - Abdullah
4 - Babar

Pretty solid

 

[Devadwal]

Rizwan is turning Mediocre team to very respectable . Even Tulla saim is battling like Gilly

I am waiting for apologies @Devadwal

 

[PakPremi]

Saim has more talent in his left pinky finger than Sharjeel has in his entire overweight body Please keep these embarrassing comparisons to yourself.

Also Temperament which matters a lot with more maturity he will become more consistent too.

 

[Rana]

Short half tracker blocked by Shafique

The Laanat has to be a part of the DNA of 95% of Pakistan batsmen

 

[CerebralPatriot]

We won an ODI last time we toured. Don’t know why everyone’s making such a big deal

Babar won a series in South Africa, does that make him a great captain?

 

[imshally81]

Here you go again

666

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Zampa taken to the cleaners

 

[G0rmintAunty]

Whattay shot for 6 by Saim

 

[Rana]

Rizwan is turning Mediocre team to very respectable . Even Tulla saim is battling like Gilly

Rizwan should be in Munna Bhai 3.0

 

[Ab Fan]

Hazelwood is just an overrated bowler who must be afraid of Babar and co rather than Babar and company being afraid of the weakest bowler of that Aussie bowling attack as he often takes rest or doesn’t get selected in tough Asia tours.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Rizwan is turning Mediocre team to very respectable . Even Tulla saim is battling like Gilly

Saim is one of the most talented young batters in Pakistan. His performances in international cricket so far do not do justice to his talent, or show the complete picture.

 

[imshally81]

3 dots after Six

Good sensible batting

 

[Rana]

Technique did his job I guess
