Pakistan (284/5) defeat West Indies (280) by 5 wickets in first ODI match to lead the 3-match series 1-0

[Wasim Ghulam]

Did he make 31 centuries in your living room?

he can shove 31 centuries where sun does nt shine.. we dnt need meaningless 100s and by the way teams have found him out. when did he make last of those 31 ?

 

[Usman Chadda]

Whatever happens, we will keep playing ODI cricket the same way.

Better teams will continue to crush us.

 

[heddie19]

6 6 6 Abdullah now. Majestic

 

[shaz619]

Full passion tonight, I have the pleasure of watching not one Babar Azam, but two Babar Azam’s at the crease.

 

[shaz619]

These lot scored 40 runs in 10 overs against a mentally scarred West Indian team, I have to appreciate the effort.

 

[shaz619]

The two lanats of the apocalypse are back in the opening slots baybayy!

 

[Rana]

I’m amazed Shafique actually got some runs today

 

[cricfan432]

abdullah shafique is at best no.4, he has no business facing new ball, should be discarded from tests too

 

[cricfan432]

Look at the movement shamar joseph got, we dont have bowler like him

 

[shaz619]

The West Indian fans are booing the umpires decision! They don’t want to see Babar Jnr leave the pitch!

 

[shaz619]

Ah hah Babar & Rizwan reuniting like SRK & Kajol, somebody get the baby oil too while they are at it!

 

[Rana]

Tuk tuk tuk tuk

 

[shaz619]

Pancheeds giving sloppies to Pancheeds, nothing to see here When all is said and done, King merah nikkah dong koh karelgah

 

[Rana]

Kya baat hai

Maiden straight after Rizzu comes to the wicket

Legends

 

[shaz619]

The drummers building up the anticipation for Rizwan’s chicken dance at the crease

 

[Rana]

Bowl it right in the learn

 

[shaz619]

Bowl it right in the learn

They almost got the fraud in his learn

 

[Usman Chadda]

This is just sad and boring to watch

 

[Rana]

Tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk

 

[shaz619]

What kind of shot was that though

 

[Rana]

Keep tuk tukking

And making loud noise off the field demanding T20 comebacks!

 

[shaz619]

Rizwan was bending over after that play & miss

 

[shaz619]

3 balls without a run so far from the legend

 

[shaz619]

Someone bowl a beamer square between his eyes!

 

[Rana]

2 maidens

Beautiful

 

[shaz619]

Rizwan 0(5)

 

[TheSultan]

Babar and Rizwan, so stale

 

[Rana]

All the time in the world on a track getting slower and slower MashaAllah

 

[NeVerMind]

12 balls without a run...riveting from the dynamic duo

 

[Rana]

Nostalgia

 

[Rana]

Now Hesson will realise why Aqib and Co insist on keeping these two laanats out

 

[Vikram1989]

Nostalgia

Do u think hesson will lurn today?

 

[Usman Chadda]

Keep tuk tukking

And making loud noise off the field demanding T20 comebacks!

No way should either come back if they continue to play like this

Stat padding is just shameful

 

[Rana]

Tuk….

 

[shaz619]

These two are too busy checking each other out

 

[heddie19]

No way should either come back if they continue to play like this

Stat padding is just shameful

They're coming back. It is inevitable. You can cry in the corner.

 

[Rana]

And tuk….

 

[Usman Chadda]

They're coming back. It is inevitable. You can cry in the corner.

This is terrible batting, as usual the innings is going nowhere.

How can anyone not see that?

 

[Rana]

16 consecutive dot balls

Class is permanent

 

[heddie19]

This is terrible batting, as usual the innings is going nowhere.

How can anyone not see that?

Relax son. It is ODI cricket not T10.

 

[heddie19]

4 4 4 Rizzu. A chapair on many faces here.

 

[shaz619]

Imagine Bob Marley was in the stands:

One Tuk! One Tuk!
Let's play the dots and feel all right.
Hear the Misbah cryin' (One Tuk!);
Hear the Misbah cryin' (One Tuk!),
Sayin': give thanks and praise to Saya and I will feel all right.

 

[shaz619]

Legwan off the mark

 

[AZulfi]

Not just Riz-Bar, the current lot in general is poor at strike rotation.

It is either slog >> out the next ball or tuk tuk

 

[Rana]

Do u think hesson will lurn today?

He has to

Usko bhi ghalat fehmi hai shayad

 

[topspin]

Babar batting like Misbah

 

[Rana]

Tuk..

 

[topspin]

Babar and Rizwan will make a meal out of this chase. Expected from Misbah's "chosen ones".

 

[Rana]

Rq rate likely to be 7.5 by 25 overs

 

[Justcrazy]

Babar Azam needs to bat through here

 

[Usman Chadda]

Not just Riz-Bar, the current lot in general is poor at strike rotation.

It is either slog >> out the next ball or tuk tuk

Babar and Rizwan seem to have lost all of their already limited attacking strokes.

All a bowler needs to do is not give away bad balls and these two will be happy going at 2-3 RPO, then get out and expect everyone down the order to slog from ball one

 

[topspin]

Rq rate likely to be 7.5 by 25 overs

Don't worry Babar will play the reverse scoop like he did to Hunanin Shah in the PSL

 

[Rana]

Aaand a quick tuk tuk to finish the over…

 

[shaz619]

Babar needs to anchor till the end so Legwan’s launching can begin from the 40th over

 

[Rana]

Here comes a Legwan hoick

 

[topspin]

Rq rate likely to be 7.5 by 25 overs

Run rate required now above a run a ball. This is outside the Babar/Rizwan/Misbah comfort zone.

 

[shaz619]

How long can I stay awake watching these two turds

 

[Rana]

Bounce Billo bounce Billo

 

[shaz619]

The best entertainment has been in the stands so far

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

Thats exactly where Teams have found out babar.. How many times have you seen babar flicking it to midwicket and getting caught? Because They will put fielders to stop a single from babar and knowing that he wont dare to go over the top

 

[shaz619]

Look at him smile like a re!ard after the learn failed there

 

[Rana]

Slot balls….

Tuk tuk

 

[Justcrazy]

These two need to try and up the run rate , cannot let required rate go up too much.

 

[topspin]

63 runs after 12 overs -> 79 runs after 17 overs.

Rizbar masterclass on show. This should be a PPV event.

 

[shaz619]

These two dip sh!ts are crippling the entire lineup as per usual, the lower order will have too much catching up to do, the coach needs to be slapped up to if he played a part in advocating their return, they will not change how they play

 

[Usman Chadda]

Thats exactly where Teams have found out babar.. How many times have you seen babar flicking it to midwicket and getting caught? Because They will put fielders to stop a single from babar and knowing that he wont dare to go over the top

Yeah I don’t think Babar is going through loss of form, he has just been found out. Reduce the bad balls and he will stat pad Pakistan to a loss.

 

[Justcrazy]

Rizwan 7 from 14 balls , not good enough in this era , needs to find some boundaries.

 

[shaz619]

And we thought WI’s were slow, whoever we play we can’t at the minimum even match the rate of our opponent, and even that should not be the aim, disgraceful, unpatriotic batting

 

[Cricket Warrior]

Heddie has been banned for 10 days.. plz no more disgusting stuff here! Thanks

 

[Rana]

Rizwan hoick coming in this over

 

[topspin]

Heddie has been banned for 10 days.. plz no more disgusting stuff here! Thanks

Great decision. That was seriously messed up.

 

[Justcrazy]

25 runs partnership so far.

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

Yeah I don’t think Babar is going through loss of form, he has just been found out. Reduce the bad balls and he will stat pad Pakistan to a loss.

bowl wicket to wicket.. he will drive straight to fielder either mid on or mid off.. just avoid giving this guy any width.. He will panick

 

[shaz619]

Babar clearly has the ability, but lacks the courage, aligning with inferior players wont help. The devil’s greatest deed was convincing us he is on Babar’s level, through their frandship he dragged Babar down to new lows with him

 

[shaz619]

Rizwan / Anatar walked up to Babar there and said: ‘I taught you that shot didn’t I’

 

[imshally81]

Great shot by Babar

 

[imshally81]

Rizwan joins the party

 

[Nasty Naz]

Interesting that Faheem career ODI numbers are even worse than Sheppard.

Faheem: 46.32 average, 28 wickets in 36 matches
Sheppard: 40.27 AVG 33 wickets in 37 matches

Batting -
Faheem: 13.41 AVG 85 SR
Sheppard: 17.47 AVG 103 SR

Sheppard is no world beater and somehow Faheem is even worse than that. Batting doesn't make up for his horrific bowling either. Even his List A record isn't good to suggest he's dominated at List A domestically to warrant his place in this side. I just wish we would finally move on from him.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan need 172 runs from 29 overs.

Move to whom ?
