What's new

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

We have 20 more overs or they can be extended?? - Sharjeel is must for ODIs and AUS tour...
 
Time for Babar to prove he is the best batsman in Pakistan. Good to see him open and try to lead from the front. In ODIs I see him as our future opener once he is established.

Don't think overs can be extended once you've passed the time for the close of the match, which is in 15 mins... but they can take extra time to get the overs in.

only in your mind he is the the best batsman in Pakistan. :facepalm: time to wake up and face the reality
 
All they need is 6 runs an over if they keep up with the same strike rotation they will win, just need to hit the odd bad ball to the boundary
 
Amazingly commendable move by Babar to promote himself to open.


A real Pakistani tiger this lad..


A far cry from the quivering scardy cats like Misbah, Azhar etc etc..
 
That's really bad, wanted to see us winning here... Cricinfo was saying min 20 overs left today....

Pakistan A is playing purposely, 111 runs in 18 overs with 9 wickets remaining is very much doable.

You're not following me.

20 overs is the minimum, but they can't exceed that once they pass the allocated time.

But yesterday they played till almost 8 PM local time (now is around 6 PM) so getting these 20 overs in shouldn't be an issue.

We basically need 110 in 18 overs now.

And Nawaz out. :(
 
2 youngster beauties at the crease now. Hope they deliver.

Wouldn't mind see Hasan Ali promoted as a pinch hitter here.

Also add the clown who only claim to 'lead from front', :afridi
 
Shoot, Nawaz is gone. Need somebody to support Babar. High hopes from Saud.

Ok, thanks.... It's 20/20 style but with test fielding, which is tricky but doable...
 
Can't believe sky don't televise these games when there are many Asians in UK who follow cricket
 
Target under 100, should play sensibly for 5-6 overs and go after bowlers in last 10
 
96 in 16 overs.. translates to a required run rate of 6 RPO..

Tough but doable
 
This Saud seems very good at strike rotation. A rare commodity (but pleasant) in our cricket.
 
Are we seriously chasing this ?? 94 odd runs in 15 overs is extremely difficult
 
Wonderful to see all batsmen playing at SR of over a 100
 
Our two young and best upcoming prospects at the crease with an ideal game situation.

In a perfect world, these two should win the game and get their 50's. Hope I'm not asking too much!!!
 
If another wicket falls then Hasan Ali should be sent in to go hell to leather. If he fails then send Shadab.

Save Jahid and Abdur Rehman as insurance policy, in case we have to block out the overs.
 
Looking at the number of singles being scored, I think SL A have fallen into the same trap that Mathews fell for in Sharjah. We need 6 an over and they've put everyone at the boundary.

One of Saud or babar should bat till the end. Hasan Ali and Shadab should be the next 2 batsmen
 
Man this is so exciting.. can't remember the last time I was this excited when Pakistan was batting
 
True, better than senior LOI team.

Look at the depth man.. We have three batsmen (M.Hasan, H.Ali and S.Khan) who we can send in to go crazy and will still have 3-4 proper batsmen left to block or rotate the strike.

Add Amir to this team and it will beat the senior ODI side in atleast 7 games out of 10..
 
Babar is just leagues above any other young batsman in the country. Both Babar and Saud will bat in top 4 in ODIs in the future IA
 
So here is the equation. They're accomplished 71/2 in 9.0 overs. Now we need another 76 runs in 13.5 overs with 8 wickets remaining. Very much doable.
 
unbelievable strike rotation man :O :O is this really our boys batting ???

Mashallah !!

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..
