What's new

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

A thing to note is you won't find Mamoon and other wrist-slitters on occasions like these..

Those guys only crawl out of their caves when the going is tough.
 
9 runs off over without a boundary.. wow wow wow :raja
 
This is what happens when you play positively and at a RR of 7-8 from the start of the innings, rather than conserving wickets and trying to go crazy in the last 10..

Which is 90's style. We really need adventures and positive players at the top like Sharjeel, Babar, Harris and Saud etc.

There is a difference between fans and pretenders. If you're a fan of Pakistan you would celebrate even at the most minuscule of achievements. If you're a pretender you'd just bandwagon your way into the herd on good days and wrist slit and be a hording pessimist on other days.

True fans stick around no matter what and in the words of [MENTION=138379]#GreenRoars[/MENTION] himself...

Eat, Sleep, Back the Team - Repeat !!
 
Man send this A side on a world tour.. Go to Australia, New Zealand, South Africa even India (if the parosis are up for it).. I see real potential and atleast 7-8 of these players

This is what i want from PCB rather than wasting their money on other stuff but .... :(

Well said
 
Bookmark this post whoever might be reading right now !! This A team will in the next half a decade become absolute World Beaters !!!

These guys have unbelievable potential and mental fortitude for chaps who are just in their early 20s.
 
Both players SR 120+ and our national team T20I and ODI openers don't have a SR like this, infact they cant even play with this SR :)))

So you want them in A team for next decade, not in our national team :(
 
Man these guys are good really great :14: - SL getting stick from us once again :))

They'll search their names on this and other threads, and will come to argue with you to prove that you've faulty rational and they're is correct - (and of curse they do support Pakistan). And in the end they'll say, meh, it's just our A team playing against nobodies, so who cares.
 
I hope these two continue to play like this on rest of this tour. So that, we can hopefully see them against WI in UAE soon enough after ENG tour.
 
Number of dot balls in this innings are in single digit... Shezad and Hafeez can you see this?? :po:
 
If these 2 lead us to victory will be a confidence boost for them and make them believe they belong at this level!

Err. level above this, national team :). You need such adventurous and positive players in the middle order who are not mentally fragile, specially in a chase.

he claims that he is a competitive golfer (a self proclaimed competitive golfer) and a painter

he might either be playing competitive golf at peshawar :facepalm:
or doing painting
 
Yar someone call Inzi bahi and tell him to draft these two in the senior LOI squad right now. I don't care if they make ducks (Allah na karay) in rest of the tour. We need batsmen who can properly rotate strike and play Modern LOI cricket for once.
 
Gorgeous batting by these two.
Strike rotation and proper cricketing stroke-play, rather than the usual cross-batted hoicks we employ when the required rate is high. :shehzad

Trust me, they won't score duck. MashAllah they seems to be mentally strong players. It's not an easy to play such a game in a Test cricket.

At least better than Ifti :))

Yes I meant national level.

Yes Babar in particular showing guts and strong mentality. Best peformance of the tour by him so far.
 
Good God, I'm on cloud # 9 after this display of a wonderful chase!!! just 38 needed.
 
Doesn't it feel great when the two batting prospects you've been backing for a while come good. :akhtar
 
Noticed something, Saud's strike rate is 121.42, which even higher than Babar. It's because this guy is taking singles since first ball and hit 4's when needed as well. This is what modern cricket is all about.
 
People dont realize the gem that we have in Babar. They love to support their rubbish favourites.
 
The best thing about this partnership is the strike rotation. Another good thing is they are dealing well with the chase and not panicking.

Babar's already in the ODI side.
Saud might be included if he performs well in the ODI leg of the A tour.

I mean yar this is so freaking calculated batting - It's unbelievable :O :O

They're scoring 7.70 runs in essentially a first class game against an international level A side while only hitting 7 boundaries between them. Koie inka DNA karaoo yeah dono Pakistani bhi hain ya nahe :))

Yup rotating strike beautifully. Im telling you these 2 should both be batting in our ODI top 4 in the future. 2 of the best young batsmen in the country.
 
Absolute masterclass by these lads...
...but, of course, there's no talent in Pakistan. :afridi :pfft
 
Where are those who were completely writing Babar off? Saying he is worse than Umar Akmal? :)) :)) :))
 
People dont realize the gem that we have in Babar. They love to support their rubbish favourites.

The game has turned into a mini ODI so that's why he clicked now, I will give him credit though, but he needs to improve his temperament when batting in first innings especially, a 'gem' must average above 50 in FC.
 
Hopefully a PSL team picks up Saud Shakeel to see whether or not he can play in that format.

I second that, I hope to see Saud against WI in upcoming UAE tour alone side with Babar.

I guess he could be a gem in the middle order to guide the innings alone with Babar.
 
Still I am not impressed with Babar , may be he can maintain an avg in mid 30s in ODis but nothing more than that.
 
Need a boundary in this over.. haven't hit one in three overs.. the run rate might creep up
