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

Nothing would make me happier than seeing Saim score his first ODI fifty today!!

It's more a case of the sum of the parts being better. With Starc and Cummins in the pace-attack his effectiveness is accentuated. Otherwise he is nowhere near either if those two in-terms of quality.

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

It was the manner in which he went about his innings in champions cup.
He’s got character, even after failures he play with confidence
 
Thank God Parchi Haseebullah can wait for a bit longer
 
Lol Wasim just called Abdullah for Asad Shafique

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

Like I said, this Australian team is there to beat based on relative strengths of the team. On potential, Pakistan should beat this Aussie team in their home 7/8 games out of 10.
 
No worries Saim. Pakistan also missed some chances
 
One small 50 for Saim but a big score for the future of Pakistan cricket today
 
Maiden white-ball international 50 for Ayub in his 2nd ODI, but after 23 T20I's
 
A lot of journalists will not be happy with this 50

They were after his head! Desperately wanting him out so Babar and Rizwan can breathe easy as T20 openers
 
When Rizwan and Pakistan are doing well, some people bring out their hate for Pakistan’s best batter, seemingly out of nowhere, as a coping mechanism.
 
Zampa has caught 18 dropped 12 catches? Is that what the comms said?
 
Bakhri
Salman Butt
Mamoon
Rashid Latif
Nauman Niaz

These guys won’t be able to sleep tonight

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.
Click to expand...
Maybe but whatever I watched him he was batting like a heck
 
Gilly trying to take shine away from Saim's performance, short square boundaries, they were same size when Aussie were playing in familiar ground.
 
Abdullah just hold one end and let Saim get a hundred here
 
First 100 runs partnership between Saim and Abdullah in all format

Nobody cares about rizwan except handful of his cheerleaders

Most people want pakiatan to win

cheerleaders will be upset today we won it without rizwan and babar

Agree apart from bowling dots he has not done much especially against Pakistan from memory bar one or two matches.

This is the type of innings everyone wanted to see from Saim. If he can become even a half-decent spin bowler, his place in the ODI side will basically be guaranteed.

Bro he should be guaranteed for a long time even if he refuses to bowl a ball.

There is no other batsman in Pakistan with the same potential in LOI cricket.
 
Brilliant batting by Saim. The intent has been fantastic. Good strategy by Rizzu. No defensive pathetic mindset. Rizzu biggest fault was physics chemistry with Babar.

I am salivating at the prospect of Fakhar and Saim opening for Pakistan.

He is more than half decent , he turns the ball sharply both ways at 95kph , what else do you want from a non regular spinner?

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.

Only 3 people are burden one of them has 70 k posts of filth and rubbish nothing else and his double account

As a batter, I hope not. I never really rated Hafeez much for most of his career. But as a spin bowler, that would be a great standard to aspire to.

i actaully really liked hafeez's batting towards the end of his career. he was wild. Look at his sr and how it shot up in the last 3 years of his career (In T20I's)

Would be lovely if one of these two get out now. Babar to face Zampa! Duck incoming
 
Like it or not, this is Rizwan’s team now, as he is the captain of the Pakistan cricket team. When Pakistan does well, he’ll always be part of the discussion, whether you care or not.

True. But I feel like his bowling has some real potential as well. He bowled an absolute beauty to start his spell today. And he can mix it up too by bowling off-spin and leg-spin.
 
Saim is hitting sixes with ease against this formidable Australian bowling lineup!

Latter half of his career, yes. He completely transformed as a batter once he moved down the order. Played some absolute clutch knocks in the CT final and the 2019 WC.

Infact, IIRC, it was Hafeez who won us our last ODI in Australia when we were chasing 260 odd at the MCG.
 
Abdullah happy to take back seat. I want Fakhar to open with Saim so bad.
 
This is one of the greatest ODI innings i have watched by a Pakistani batsman in Australia. Just sublime.

Since saim is back should open with him and fakhar in white ball

One day you all say drop Saim, then he scores a 50, then you all say he should be an perm opener. There seems to be no method to the thinking.
 
Refreshing to see a pak player going at better than a run a ball in an ODI.

Stat padders, are you watching?
