What's new

Pakistan A beat Sri Lanka A by 8 wickets in the 2nd unofficial Test

Play has resumed, and Hasan Ali has raced to a run a ball 20, while Mohammad Hasan remains solid.

Pakistan A 404/7 and lead by 154.
 
Why arent they declaring? whats the use of batting now, Should go for all out attack with ball
 
Another brilliant innings from Mohammad Hassan.

On the other hand, Hasan Ali also impressing people with the bat.
 
Need to bring hasan ali into the ODI squad asap, potential allrounder/ lower order hitter

also a very good bowler hoping inzi is seeing this

Inzi has been sensible so far, I hope he keeps Anwar Ali away from the ODI side.

Hasan Ali is a 10x better bowler than Anwar and their batting is similar.

Pakistan should seriously consider him for this upcoming English ODI series... He is very good with new ball, has decent pace and control. He can bat as well... Much better than Anwar Ali, Immad or Bhatti... I think Hassan and Nawaz are good ODI options... Both are very young, they can slowly come to test side... But Odis is no brainer... You want to invest in quality
 
Apparantly good late order hitting by Hasan Ali. This is what is required by international tailenders nowadays.

Not similar, Anwar Ali is just a leg side tullay baz who cant even take a single, while Hasan Ali can rotate strike well. I have seen ground strokes and he is indeed a better bowler and batsman than Anwar Ali.
 
Our A team batting depth is better then the senior one. Some of these guys should be in our team such as hasan Ali and saud shakeel.
 
Wow Hasan Ali seems like a real gem of a cricketer. He is as good as a bowler as Junaid was when he first came on the scene (maybe even better) and is a better batsman than Anwar Ali/Imad Wasim/Wahab Riaz
 
And that's why i wanted Hasan Ali in our LOI squad :( i hope Inzi will consider him for LOI squad.

I'm not too sure about Nawaz but Hasan Ali should definitely be included for the limited overs leg of the tour.
Anwar Ali is passionate and hardworking but he lacks the bowling skills which Hasan Ali has.
 
Is this Hasan Ali or Afridi? :afridi, amazing that our Pak A side has come from 222/5 and more than doubled the score. Great work

His batting is better then a Anwar Ali and his bowling is million times better then him. Boils my blood when I see Anwar hacking and opening the bowling with not a inch movement.

I'm sure Inzi will give him a look. He has taken wickets in all matches and has also contributed with the bat.

Inzi has been right on the money since day one and there is nothing to suggest that he would falter on this front either.
 
Hopefully the case isn't that the wicket has eased out here.

You've probably focused on his batting more than I have so you're probably right.

Will be over the moon if he's selected for the ODI side.

Nawaz is a good left arm spinner and very good with the bat... You need to play one spinner in ODIs... Right we don't have a permanent spinner in ODIs :(

I've mentioned in this thread and else where, the people who occupy numbers 6-9 in the Pakistan A side are all good enough to bat at 7 in the test arena.

Essentially there is no tail..
 
Nawaz is talented but needs to work hard on his game specially against spinners.

Need to declare after Hasan's fifty
Click to expand...


Why need to declare in first innings? Keep on going like that, add another 30/40 runs... These are all free runs, and will help a lot to the guys who are scoring aka bowlers.... Make it 250 lead, extra 5/10 overs don't harm...

That is the advantage of lead when you get 150, 200 looks easy and 250 gets easier...

Infact, he should be selected on the basis of his bowling alone :( seriously am tired of seeing Anwar, Wahab, Irfan in our LOI team and giving us heart attacks.

Nawaz's direct competition is with Imad Wasim.

Is he a better bowler than Imad? No

Is he a better batsman than Imad? I don't think so, but arguable.
 
Excellent smashing by Hasan Ali. A 37 ball fifty, and Pakistan A have declared with a 211 run lead.

Dost, this is the third day of play in a four day match. With only a day and 20 odd overs remaining.
 
IAJ said:
Pak A 222/5, if it was any other team you would think still 5 wickets left and 400 on cards but with Pak you allways think that it's all over when 5 wickets are down.

Let's hope they can get past 300 here..

hmmm... Still think 5/8 extra overs would not have harmed...This would make sure no need to bat second time...

I definitely agree nawaz is a better option then imad but he needs to improve playing spin where he looks clueless, once he does that he will be a real asset for us in future in a ll format. He is pretty decent playing pace though.

So, this should be an eye opener for everyone - this 461 is not the brilliance of late order only - the foundation was laid by the 2nd wicket partnership who made SRL A sweat for 45 overs at the end of Day 1 & 2nd morning, when the bowlers were fresh & wicket had spice.

Tail order batting is nothing substantial, absolutely nothing - unless the top 3 sets the platform. Had PAK gone to Lunch on 2nd morning 170/5, by this time SRL A would have a 100+ lead & barring rain, PAK A would have fought, on 4th innings, breaking their teeth again like the 1st match. There is no better medicine than time on wicket by top order - be at 2.5 rate, for 1st 50 overs of the innings.

And, this should be indicative enough for PCB - why PAK is out of top 8 in ODI & soon should be be in Test as well; unless that 250 overs FC style is not upgraded to 360 overs at least.

on point bro, i actually had no idea that that our FC system only had 250 overs per match which is absolutely absurd, shield matches if i remember correctly have 105 overs a day. 60 overs a day is nothing.

Wahab is surviving in LOIs just because of this one spell.
Anwar Ali randomly has one good match out of 15 and the selectors forget everything.
Irfan has no brain.

These 3 should be replaced with amad butt , amir yamin and hasan Ali. This will definitely improve our odi team.

Somehow Pakistan have found some impressive all-rounders.

Hasan ali - very good bowler and now showing that he is an all-rounder.
Ammad Butt - very fast bowler and a genuine All-rounder
Azizullah - very good bowler, should be called as a wicket taker, and he is also good with the bat.
and add Aamir yamin to the list.

finally our allrounder department looks solid. Shukar Alhamdo Lillah

Officially,90 overs per day - but you'll have to a buffoon at PCB level to plan 90 overs in North & central PAK in the month of NOV-JAN. You can easily check the scores of last few years QA Trophy - 4 bowlers - 15 X 4 for a days work & 48 (58) sort of innings are match winners.

At their highest point Counties & Shield matches were played for 420 overs - that's 7 hous/day.
 
Hasan Ali looking good with the bat and he has done well with ball on this tour. Should be back in late August/September for the LO series.
 
when will the odi squad be announced ? Hassan Ali should be picked......
 
Sri Lanka A looking fairly comfortable so far. Good thing Babar declared instead of wasting a few more overs.
 
2nd wicket falls Udawatte goes for 8 bowled By Azizullah.

Edit: Nawaz ends the day with a maiden.

Great day for Pakistan A, with the two late wickets serving as a perfect sucker punch to ruin Sri Lanka's spirits, ahead of the last day.

Anwar Ali is selected on the basis that he single handedly won us a T20 against SL. One game alone shouldn't give you the right to be chosen ahead of consistent players. Not gonna lie though, it was a pretty epic innings.

So far we've seen a slight change in dynamics with our Pak A squad including youngsters, and tbh it can only get better for our senior Pak team with these youngsters getting more of a chance. I have faith in Inzi, it's the most optimistic I'm been in years tbh
 
Sharjeel's selection is pointless. He will never be good enough to play Test cricket.

He should stick to T20 cricket because that his his strength. Looks like fish out of water in whites.

Why, unless it rains? 75 Overs left, top 3 down, still 50+ behind & 2nd ball in 35 overs - one more wicket before deficit, PAK A should chase less than 100 (not sure who would win though!!!)
 
MMHS said:
His game is most suited for No. 3 - any proper cricket establishment will invest him for No. 3 or even No. 2 in List A/ODI. Why he is batting at 5 & 6, if I explain, I might unleash your inner patriotic Pakistani.

Sharjeel Khan is the STAR of this side, who won't play a FC match for Ranji relegation league.

Sharjeel Khan is star for bunch of deluded fans here which are in minority. No one rates him. No one. Everyone knows he is an absolute hack.

Playing Sharjeel in any form of cricket is a big gamble. He bound to fail 90% times against any quality bowling. I remember how out of form Malinga used to take his wicket after giving one or two boundary. Instead we should look for proper hitter or bring someone from tailender and ask him to slog blindly.

Yes, its is a disgrace that how some people expect the management to induct him into ODIs when he cannot even bat properly. Even my granma can slog to the leg side. That is not cricket.

Pakistan's Cheif Selector rates him for a tour in UK; Pakistan's A team Head Coach & Manager rates him to play all 3 FC matches of the tour - who else, may be PCB hierarchy, who has given him a central contract.

I am not sure how many in PAK cricket actually knows what is a hack - Awais Zia & Shahzeb played multiple tournaments for the green cap, Kalid Latif at 35 made WC squad, while Fakhar Zaman is considered future talent; therefore, I am a bit confused here.
 
The score hasn't updated for a while and is stuck in the middle of an over. Rain perhaps?
 
We need a proper batting & bowling coach for our A team to improve performances. Giving away over 4 runs per over in longer format is not acceptable

Our fast bowlers need a lot of help from the wicket.

Our A bowlers have more potential than Irfan, Junaid, Imran, Adil, Anwar and Sohail. Need a good bowling coach to show them way to get wicket. Same goes ofr our main team. Azhar Mahmood as a bowling coach is not good enough.
