Pakistan (352/4) defeat Australia (348/8) by 6 wickets to win the 2nd ODI - Series is tied at 1-1

[imshally81]

Who is the fielder....? I liked his acting

 

[Rana]

9 runs in the over so Imam can play 4 dot balls

 

[maqbool]

Good start to the chase so far. Fakhar should survive till 20th over at least

 

[imshally81]

Great running.. Good over

 

[The_KING]

Fakhar is struggling out there

 

[Rana]

Imam blocking again and again!

 

[Rana]

Slot balls being blocked again and again!!!

 

[oatmeal]

Imam is barely above 100 despite showing some fight. After hitting a boundary you have to take singles for the rest of the over. He just hits a 4 and blocks out rest of the over

 

[Duckworth Lewis]

It will be a miracle if Pakistan pulls this of especially with that middle order. It pains to see the management is not bothered by long the tail right after Rizwan.

 

[The_KING]

Pathetic stuff from Imam

 

[Khanusman1]

We’re gna win this lads

 

[sindhiboy]

selfish imam batting at a higher sr than fakhar so far

 

[Amjid Javed]

How many dot balls are these guys going to waste in PP.

 

[silentkiller187]

Both batsmen as selfish and boring as each other so far

 

[Ahmed216]

Fakhar has always struggled in Asia

 

[oatmeal]

Imam has an target of 100 SR today. He will only hit when he falls below 100

 

[Ahmed216]

as if their hands are tied

 

[Dr_Bassim]

They are scoring at 5.7 an over.

What do you want them to do ?

Strike at 10 an over and play T20?

 

[PakPremi]

The scorecard and batting out in the field does not match with comments from Pak Passion posters here. I wonder if they watching a re-run of another match.

 

[silentkiller187]

Thats more like it Fakhar, more of the same please

 

[imshally81]

Back to back boundaries

 

[Rana]

Keep going Fakhar keep going!!

Warna Rizwan open per aa aye ga!!!

 

[maqbool]

Yeah, stop complaining…. Enjoy!

 

[Duckworth Lewis]

Waqar and his agriculture

 

[silentkiller187]

make that 3 in a row

 

[imshally81]

3rd four in a row.... Fakhar on fire

 

[Ahmed216]

Much batter now...impose urself more

 

[Rana]

Keep going Fakhar!!!!

 

[oatmeal]

Fakhar on fire

 

[Waleed93]

The scorecard and batting out in the field does not match with comments from Pak Passion posters here. I wonder if they watching a re-run of another match.

It's just yet another case of Pakistan fans being clueless when it comes to batting.

 

[Ahmed216]

That was juicy half volley blocked by imam

 

[PakPremi]

It's just yet another case of Pakistan fans being clueless when it comes to batting.

Or just like to moan no matter what.

 

[JaDed]

Positive start and no wickets lost.

 

[silentkiller187]

When Fakhar is in this form then we can afford a accumalator at the other end, cricket is a team game, the team all needs to click together

 

[JaDed]

I think Big totals require Fakhar to fire .

 

[PakPremi]

The kind of fielding Aussies doing if was Pakistanis,they would have been accused of giving up by the PP experts.

 

[Concerned]

Fakhar is Pakistan’s only hope.

Rest are bystanders

 

[Savak]

Have not bothered to follow the series at all after the test series loss and given the bigger political crisis at home. For the moment cricket seems meaningless.

 

[Amjid Javed]

30 Dot balls in the PP im sorry but that is poor.

 

[oatmeal]

Fakhar needs to go after Head and not let him get into a rhythm

 

[JibranAnsari]

So many dots. Half of the deliveries faced are dots.

 

[Amjid Javed]

34 Dot ball after 11 over, over half the deliveries not been scored off.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Pitched outside

 

[oatmeal]

That looked out in real time but maybe impact was outside

 

[silentkiller187]

looks like pitching outside leg and maybe slipping down

 

[oatmeal]

Pitching outside leg.

 

[imshally81]

Review lost

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pakistan will never score at 7 or 8 runs an over early on when you play so many dot balls.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Fakhar is the only hope pakistan have to go past 300

 

[silentkiller187]

imam dropped tough chance, McDermott looks like a broken finger

 

[JibranAnsari]

If mcdermot is injured australia may fly back

 

[NeVerMind]

Imam hits that like missile and damages McDermott's hands

 

[JibranAnsari]

Imam doesnt read the length early

 

[TheSultan]

Imam has another problem - his placement is horrendous

 

[NeVerMind]

Aussies were in the 80s with a wicket down...we already behind the run rate...

 

[imshally81]

Lucky fakhar

 

[silentkiller187]

Imam showing Fakhar how to slog sweep there

 

[Kianig89]

What's the obsession with chasing keeping the view the tenacity of pur attack

 

[NeVerMind]

It's worth a punt to send somebody like Chacca Ifti or Happy Heart if a wicket falls to keep up with the run rate...

 

[oatmeal]

Good strategy going after Head

 

[Amjid Javed]

Where was this aggression early on in 1st game?

 

[Kianig89]

Khushdil Iftikhar what a waste of space they are absolutely pathetic why can't we import a couple of players from AfG or Ned may be

 

[TheSultan]

Imam is playing better - but he needs to stop picking out fielders

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pak 78/0 (13) - Aus were 86/1

 

[sweep_shot]

Okay start from Pakistan.

78/0 after 13 overs.

RRR is 7.32. Need to start accelerating after a few overs.

 

[NeVerMind]

Only 8 runs behind the Aussies now at this stage...need to use that as a barometer as to where we should be...

 

[imshally81]

66666

 

[sweep_shot]

Zampa should be tricky.

Zampa is generally economical.

 

[PakPremi]

Pakistan only 7 runs behind Aussies with no wicket loss, but our lower Middle order is pathetic after Saud and Rizwan

 

[NeVerMind]

Imam wins a scholarship for a fortunate kid...Man's changed...

 

[JibranAnsari]

Despite being limited imam has more intent than babar has.

 

[silentkiller187]

The base has been set, lets hope Bobby is in a positive mood today aswell

 

[JibranAnsari]

Imam has scored like 500 runs since his comeback.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Babar should come at number 6 today.

 

[sweep_shot]

86/0 after 14 overs.

 

[imshally81]

Fakhar on fire... 6666

50 for Fakhar

 

[NeVerMind]

another scholarship and Fakhar goes to 50!

 

[JibranAnsari]

Trademark fakhar six , long handle

 

[oatmeal]

Now we are talking. This is what the batsmen should have done in the last game

 

[TheSultan]

The longer Fakhar stays out there the better - only hope
