Most likely 2 updates. One update per innings.
2nd update will tell who won the match.

Looks like Rahat Ali may return to our ODI squad. Under Inzi no proper planning
 
Pcb should be showing this on their YouTube channel rather then that u19 tournament.
 
Typical selfish attitude by our captain. Promote himself ahead of Saud Shakeel.
A selfish player should never be in the squad forget about captain. Reminds me Rohail Nazir
 
I was certain that they'll put Saud at 5 or 6; but since he has bowled 8 overs, hope they don't slot him at 7.

Ifti must have some compromising pictures at his possession ......
 
Don't know why ifti and rizwan batting ahead of said shakeel. Just noticed abid Ali is the captain, he is a rubbish odi batsmen how did he even make the a team in odis.

Thanks to Inzi!!!!! Mr. hon~est and revolutionist
 
Looks like our inzi and Pak A coach are not really care about Saud Shakeel. They still pushing their old friends

The seniority culture is a huge thing in Pak. Youngsters only get their chance if there is a major collapse or failure.
 
Still no Saud Shakeel? According to scoreboard Rahat will come ahead of him. Pathetic
 
Embarrassing staff to be honest, for entire PAK set up as an elite cricket nation.

Ok, if they can't identify batsmen from the look, at least minimum expectation should be there that think tank can interpret basic batting numbers!!!!! This kid Saud has scored almost 2K List A runs from No. 3-4, at 55/85 stats; and they have slotted him at the "bits & pieces" all-rounder's spot.

What a shame - complete wastage of this A series, where they are facilitating tested failures & no hopers.
 
Only nation in the world that can rationalize batting Iftikhar Ahmed ahead of Saud Shakeel. :ibutt
 
Ifti uncle always manages to snake his way into every side.


All hail Inzi the revolutionary


:salute
 
This is beyond ridiculous. Who is the coach of the A team should be sacked immediately. The best batsmen in the team by a country mile will probably bat below rahat. I hope we lose this match somehow.
 
Who is the coach of Pak A team? The captain Abid looks very selfish not to give opportunity to younger player.

Inzi seems to have grudge against good batsmen. He doesn't want anyone over score their runs in future.

At this rate he may bat below rahat. They are doing it on purpose.

Rizwan is the captain.

Pretty dull match so far. Haven't learned anything from it, besides the fact that Saud seems like a decent part-timer.
 
We cry for more A team fixtures to test our bench strength. But what's the point when you're giving prime batting slots to players like Shan Masood, Abid Ali, Iftikhar Ahmed and Mohammad Rizwan ?

We know what these guys are capable of by now, whereas Saud Shakeel who has a real chance of playing for the national team one day is shunted down the order.
 
Saud apparently out for a duck.

Mohammad Saad, specialist batsman with an average of 33 @ 66 is in to bat at #7.
 
And saud goes for a duck hasn't helped his cause. Now he will be dropped next match.

Lockie running through the tail :akhtar

All the talk of Saud in here, only for him to get out for a duck to Corey Anderson :))

There's 40 runs left to get with plenty of overs, no excuses of wrong batting position. All he needed to do was bat and get the team home. Zero scoreboard pressure and plenty of wickets in hand.

Sure, it's a one off,but the way some have gone on about him, you'd think he was the second coming of Kohli.

This is exactly what happens when in an ODI, your top order doesn't capitalize on start & leave at an in between score.

Looks like Lockie's pace was too much for the tail, otherwise Pakistan should have been able to walk 40 in 12-14 overs.

Probably, but might not be the case as well. Haven't seen, but tail-enders don't get out through catches against express pace - here no bowled or LBW, which suggest me that it was another effort of glory hunt. When the asking is like 4 & one set batsman at other end, as I say - tail-ender should protect his wicket like a good virgin protects her dignity. Here 3 catches in one over ......... doesn't look cool.
 
Couple of 6's and a 4 by Rizwan. PAKISTAN A require 17 runs from 4.4 overs at 3.64 per over. Can Rizzu see them over the line.
 
Squad selection is still poor regardless of result. We shouldn't carry players who have no realistic chance of making it to the national team.

Ferguson was bowled out, Anderson still has leet figures.

Anderson is someone who is known to get smashed, especially in the death overs.

He has an ER of 6+.

At first it was fine because he had a golden arm and picked up wickets, then that stopped and all he did was get smashed and gave away too many big overs (20+). Once the wickets dried up he never bowled 10 overs and was just used to kill overs in the middle when teams weren't going after him.

It took us 49 overs and 9 wickets to chase 223? :danish


I thought the target was 280 odd. Our batting is minnow level. :facepalm:

I have had been in debate with few posters and they tell me Rizwan is an absolutely rubbish batsman. I may be biased but test format is his best suit. I remember [MENTION=79064]MMHS[/MENTION] once did agree with me on it but [MENTION=138980]TalentSpotterPk[/MENTION] has not. All because Rizwan was dealt weird hands at start of his international career.

exactly he has no idea about how good he is with the gloves it is his batting against spin which is question mark else he is good to have as a backup

Dud with the bat and gloves.

Rizwan is the best wicket-keeper in Pakistan right now. His batting is atrocious though. Scoring a few runs against a mediocre bowling attack like NZ A shouldn't be the basis of a comeback.
 
As none of us saw it live, so it's idiotic to judge how a batter batted or got out.
Rizwan needs to be given credit for batting with the tail, I noticed at the 30 over mark he was batting at 45* with Agha Salman for company. At the end of 40th over, he was on 70 odd batting with Irfan, so it would have taken a real good performance for him to get us over the line almost single handedly, that too against a bowling attack of International class. Ferguson, Anderson are international bowlers, Ferguson probably the fastest in the world atm. Van Beek is the leader of Netherlands attack, that may not be much but still he's not some club level bowler. Todd Astle is competing with Sodhi for the second spinner slot, so he's not a dud either. The other two, Jadeja is their u19 talent and Tickner, well don't know about him.

Let Saud play and perform before putting the blame on everyone in the world. He got a duck, it's not like he came into bat in the last over. He needs time to perform and let's hope he does well in future.

Rizwan usually bats in the top 5 in LA and FC, it was only in the international team where he was asked to bat at no.7. To say Rizwan was selfish is very unreasonable here. Everyone on the A team wants to perform, no one is there just to get out cheaply so that the more "deserving" ones gets opportunities ahead of them.

Although it was strange to see Mohammad Saad selected even with his ordinary numbers. I direly hope they selected Mohammad Saad by mistake instead of Saad Ali but stranger things have happened in Pakistan Cricket.

The selection of Irfan and Rahat Ali is pretty disappointing to say the least. Should have picked better performers with the ball.

You'd be surprised.

The kind of blunders Rizwan makes - even Sarfraz can't compete with that. And I don't rate Sarfraz!

I have seen him keep plenty of times, not sure if it was in 2017.

Look who's talking. :najam

You're the one throwing misleading, incorrect information as 'facts'. He first need to beat Sarfraz at keeping, who himself is poor.

Last I saw him was in international matches, he was a dud there. I cannot say how he is 'now' at keeping, but with his horrendous technique I have doubts he can improve much.

Wait, so is Rizwan a poor keeper and batsmen now in comparison to Sarfraz?
