Lovely variations in pace from Imad

 

[Rana]

Proper bowling by Maddy

 

[Human786]

84/2 in 10

 

[RidiculousMan]

Lovely variations in pace from Imad

Dude's made a career bowling pace variations, arm balls and in-swingers.

 

[Slim]

Could not even hold a regulation thrown from the deep. Azam khan another LOL.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Imad and Saim pulling it back after mediocre pacers got hammered

 

[Rana]

Iftikhar

@moheeram

 

[JattMaula]

Imad cheetah!

 

[Ahmed216]

Naseem Shah continues to bowl wide. He'll never pick wickets with that line

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

i cant make sense of the strategy at this point. you dropped a spinner.. played extra seamer.. team is going at rate of 8 plus.. why do you need to introduce part timer? why not play 2 proper spinners then?

 

[RidiculousMan]

Chacha's reflexes slowing down. He's a safe pair of hands but movement wise he's not very sharp

 

[Markhor]

Sums us up. Few overs of decent pressure then a halwa delivery from Naseem and a comical misfield to concede a boundary. This is why we'll never be a top team.

8 runs per over is a blessing on this pitch and in today's cricket. I will take the chase of 180 in a heartbeat as a captain in T20Is

 

[JattMaula]

I like this coverage.

It feels like being live at a village game. Very nostalgic.

Babar should have had a clue from last game that an accurate spinner can really contain these Irish batsmen

 

[Slim]

I swear and my stream has no commentary so it makes it even more village like.

Babar couldnt tell a barn door if it hit him on the face. GOAT!

exactly .. nothing extra ordinary that you need to take chance on part timer

 

[Nikhil_cric]

The coverage , the low talent level of both teams - a very rustic feel to the whole thing.

 

[mominsaigol]

Disagree, t20 is our strongest format. We dont stand a chance in ODIs against non-minnow team. In t20s theres still a chance that Babar and Rizwan will get a geeli pitch with low bounce and perform.

In odi we beat NZ b team including Latham, Chapman, Mitchell etc.

In t20 we got dogwalked

 

[Rana]

Who’s the fielder at point that missed the run out?

 

[Slim]

Fatty could not reach the stumps on time. LOL @ Azam x 3

 

[Ahmed216]

Can anyone tell who's fielding at point? That effort was straight from village cricket

 

[Slim]

We beat kiwis in a t20 semi final on a geeli pitch.

not shadab

 

[Human786]

96/3

 

[Barragan]

Oh great, why take off Imad?

This guy an absolute joke!

The spinners are doing well, so keep him on and carry on with Saim.

 

[imshally81]

Gone

 

[Rana]

That Naseem no ball cost Pakistan 60 runs for the 3rd wicket

 

[imshally81]

Exactly bad captaincy from babar as usual

180

 

[Energy]

Azam didn't run to the stumps. Fat cells came in the way.

 

[Rana]

Why Abbas always drifting on leg??

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

lol could have reached stumps before batsman got back.. he was down ar other end

 

[RidiculousMan]

Send Ifti one down today to deal with irish medium pacers quickly

 

[Ahmed216]

What is an honest bowling action? Lol commentary

 

[Rana]

Abbas always a wicket threat but he’s casually going for 9-10 an over

 

[Asad T]

Alan Wilkins: "Its a good-honest action from Abbas Afridi"
Whats the definition of a dishonest action?

 

[RidiculousMan]

Why Abbas always drifting on leg??

Everyone is. I suspect it's the ground's dimensions and the slope. It's a weird ground in terms of dimensions. Not something you find in International Cricket.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Abbas always a wicket threat but he’s casually going for 9-10 an over

Reminds me of Shardul Thakur. Nothing extraordinary but somehow always among the wickets.

 

[Asad T]

Azam didn't run to the stumps. Fat cells came in the way.

Needs to go back to the army camp

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Exactly where Pakistan were in the first game.

Pakistan are considered top tier team.

Ireland are not.

 

[Rana]

No Abbas in general bowls too many down leg

I’ve noticed this for quite some time

 

[Rana]

Reminds me of Shardul Thakur. Nothing extraordinary but somehow always among the wickets.

He is a good T20 bowler. He has good variations

 

[Rana]

Beautiful shot for 6

 

[Rana]

I was wrong about Tucker

He’s a decent player

 

[RidiculousMan]

Beautiful shot for 6

That had Eoin Morgan touch

 

[Dr_Bassim]

I was wrong about Tucker

He’s a decent player

Everyone is decent when compared to Pakistan team.

 

[Human786]

yep . if these guys get 180 or more , would be interesting watching the PP batting . 112/3 in 13.3

 

[JattMaula]

Ireland will Target 80 in last 7.

190, if they get there, will be substantial.

 

[Rana]

Easy 2 on Rizwan

 

[Rana]

Abbas Afridi has to play as the 3rd seamer I recon

Big Test against England coming up. Will know where he stands

 

[Slim]

Abbas is a very mid bowler. I wish he proves me wrong. He carries a big legacy, his uncle is a ATG in t20.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Lovely shot

 

[mominsaigol]

We beat kiwis in a t20 semi final on a geeli pitch.

How long ago was that? Is it relevant now? Yes or no? And that's one good game we played after a billion horrible ones including a loss ti Zimbabwe.

Infact even though SA was chasing, I'm willing to bet they'd have won had rain not helped us and drs wasn't so unfair for SA lol.

 

[Slim]

Need that to happen, i dont want bowlers to save ghanta.

 

[Human786]

116/3 in 14

 

[Ahmed216]

Abbas does not complete his action well at times and falls away a bit. That's when he strays down leg

 

[Rana]

Looks like 170ish

Pakistan did ok here in the middle overs

 

[Human786]

6 ... 122/3

 

[Rana]

Oh God humongous six

 

[Energy]

These Irish batsmen can hit sixes. Pakistan really need to see this and feel ashamed of their middling batting.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Checked between break. Seems like cricinfo has a lot of comments criticizing captaincy of Babar.

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

170 and irish will fancy their chance.. last game chacha got rare innings.. not necessarily today

 

[Rana]

Depends on how long they can keep Babar and Rizwan out there

 

[Asad T]

Abbas does not complete his action well at times and falls away a bit. That's when he strays down leg

His uncle is/was the bowling coach, and still can't fix it

 

[Human786]

who is the lady commenting ?

 

[JattMaula]

170 and irish will fancy their chance.. last game chacha got rare innings.. not necessarily today

The Blob will explode today!

 

[Asad T]

This guy should train Azam

 

[Human786]

Shahhen ki pitai ho rahi hai - 16 in 4 balls

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

From the obesity and trundling, I can't take this anymore.

 

[Energy]

Shaheen getting humbled by Campher. Lesson learnt for the ages.

 

[Rana]

@Mamoon was making fun of Amir getting destroyed by Siefert

What are his thoughts on this assault by Campher on Shaheen?

 

[Ahmed216]

Poor lines and lengths from Shaheen. Campher runs down the track to loft him for six. Truly embarassing

 

[JattMaula]

His uncle is/was the bowling coach, and still can't fix it

Not just any coach, a bona fide great of T20 game.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

A good team would've smashed 220 here

Pakistans lucky this is Ireland

 

[Asad T]

Ireland playing like a true team unit. Not playing for themselves, just fearless cricket. I'm supporting them now

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Shaheen getting ripped into by Campher that too by running down the ground
