Pakistan A v Kenya | 1st One Day | Lahore | 13th December, 2014

Here we go

International cricket makes it humble return to Pak soil

 

[BlackThunder]

Would be interesting to see if Pakistan A can save face after losing to Afg A team. The Pak A youngsters must be mentally shattered after that lost to the Afg A team would be interesting if they can rebound against a weaker Kenyan team. The new Pak generation hasn't shown any real promise and if they don't turn in around tough times awaits Pak fans specially now when they are producing only trundlers.

Kenya will be all out for 99

 

[Cricket_Engineer]

^^ I seen you post that twice. That was an exhibition match to initiate dialogue between Nawaz Sharif and Ashraf Ghani. Stop being an arrogant troll

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

Kenya will be out for 99 or less.

Why are there two threads on it.

Please merge. I Don't know which thread to post in , but I'll post in Mod thread

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

anyone got the teams?

cricnfo says Sami is captaining and Hammad isnt playing, must be a mistake surely?

Only time you can improve is when you accept your shortcoming and work towards improving. You need to accept that you lost that game and expect more from your youngsters, specially against a team who only know what cricket is in the last 10 years or so.

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

hammad isn't playing

UGH what the heck

 

[Cricket_Engineer]

anyone got the teams?

cricnfo says Sami is captaining and Hammad isnt playing, must be a mistake surely?

They showed it for literally 5 seconds and I didn't have enough time to print screen, but I'm guessing it's the one on cricinfo.

 

[NZcricketfan]

Really sad to see what Kenyan cricket has become

Post in the 1 that was made first

well thats either really good or really bad

Hammad might be on his way to the UAE, or more likely not even in the final 11

 

[Cricket_Engineer]

well thats either really good or really bad

Hammad might be on his way to the UAE, or more likely not even in the final 11

He definitely isn't on his way to the UAE, saw him standing there during the national anthem

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

Imran Khan is so useless.

 

[Cricket_Engineer]

This Imran Khan is just as bad as Gul.... Carbon copy except more good looking

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

The commentators are talking too much

Much of it is total bullcrap

 

[Suleiman]

Cricinfo says Sami Aslam is captain lol just logged in don't know if it's true or not

My God this Imran Khan does not do justice to his name.

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

Fawad Alam is apparently captaan

 

[Square Drive]

Yo I swear, if Hammad actually isn't playing...

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

He definitely isn't on his way to the UAE, saw him standing there during the national anthem

so they didnt pick for this

thats just scary

 

[Cricket_Engineer]

I wanted Pakistan to bat first, wanted to see the likes of Babar Azam, Sharjeel, Sami Aslam. In terms of bowling I was looking forward to watching Ehsan Adil, but now just Raza Hasan.

 

[desi_launda]

any crowd ?telecast in Pakistan?

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

wow what a wide

 

[BlackThunder]

This Imran Khan is just as bad as Gul.... Carbon copy except more good looking

thought Imran Khan was quite impressive against the Aussies. Yes he lacks pace (and that's an understatement) but he was much better than the other medium pacers that have represented Pakistan recently.

 

[Suleiman]

I wanted Pakistan to bat first, wanted to see the likes of Babar Azam, Sharjeel, Sami Aslam. In terms of bowling I was looking forward to watching Ehsan Adil, but now just Raza Hasan.

Heard good things about Shahzaib Ahmed on pp as well. Some dub him superior to Yasir Shah.

But wow no Hammad -_- not here nor with the seniors.

 

[Cricket_Engineer]

Sharjeel dropped the catch in slip. Blessing in disguise, we can't have this fake IK in our team

 

[Laal]

The stands are virtually empty. The PCB should have at least marketed the event vigorously.

 

[Cricket_Engineer]

Rizwan is a poor keeper. Look how far back he was standing, could barely reach the stumps

 

[Cricket_Engineer]

Sad state of Kenya cricket when your #4 batsman averages 6.20 at a SR of 39.74 ICC/BCCI really failed these associate countries

 

[Arsal_AK]

so they didnt pick for this

thats just scary

Maybe they want him in the U.A.E.I hope that is the case.

If not then this is just mind bogling.

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

okay apparently Hammad is injured

and Yasir and Anwar are already in the UAE according to Chisti

 

[Cricket_Engineer]

okay apparently Hammad is injured

So basically they sent 2 bowlers to cover Gul, and no batsmen?

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

yes

View attachment 51771

That guy used to bat number 9-10 for Kenya.

Did their batsmen refuse to tour pakistan?

 

[Cricket_Engineer]

yes

Ridiculous, here we are getting all excited about "we only announced the squad for the 1st 2 ODIs", the fact is they only sent 2 replacements for someone that got injured!! Now Younis and Shafiq will play the remaining 3 ODIs (especially with Misbah injured), and one 30+ score and they're in the WC squad

 

[Cricket_Engineer]

This Shazaib guy looks like an ordinary leggie. Karamat was more impressive

 

[IAJ]

MashaAllah so good to see int cricket in Pakistan again. Good green outfield as well.

 

[Mobashir]

Hammad Azam not given the game while Mohammad Talha is playing.

 

[Justcrazy]

where is this match going on live ?

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

Hammad Azam not given the game while Mohammad Talha is playing.

He has an injury

 

[IAJ]

He has an injury

Can't remember so many pakistani key players have injuries at same time.

 

[Arsal_AK]

He has an injury

I have a feeling this is just a cover up story.

 

[IAJ]

where is this match going on live ?

Ptv sports

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

I have a feeling this is just a cover up story.

Fawad is one of his domestic captains, don't see why he wouldn't pick him


I'll give the PCB benefit of the doubt here, hammad has bowled heaps this season

 

[IAJ]

Alot of cricket this weekend, love it.

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

Can't remember so many pakistani key players have injuries at same time.

We are so much like Arsenal FC that it isn't funny anymore

 

[IAJ]

Lols sounds like Dravid is one of the commentators.

 

[PTI]

So far Shahzaib is not impressive at all

 

[IAJ]

Odhiambo has already six doubled his average score prior to this game.

 

[Mir jibran]

This Shazaib guy looks like an ordinary leggie. Karamat was more impressive

plz can u telme y this Basit ALI hates the legendary Imran khan ?

 

[zabalestmsm]

Shahzaib the leg spinner is impressive. A good find. And good to see Mohammad Rizwan in too. Good step by PCB by grooming him. He kept well today so far.

 

[zabalestmsm]

Hammad Azam not given the game while Mohammad Talha is playing.

I dont know why the selectors are still sticking with Talha. He is a finished article almost. Sadaf Hussain must have been tried or some other new fast bowlers.

 

[zabalestmsm]

Raza Hasan as usual impressive.

 

[zabalestmsm]

Talha only good for domestic type games.

 

[Cricket_Engineer]

Raza showing why he is a gun ODI bowler yet the likes of Yasir and Zulfiqar being preferred. No doubt it's due to grandpa Misbah

 

[sunnykhan]

This Shazaib guy looks like an ordinary leggie. Karamat was more impressive

Karamat failed in the ongoing season while Shahzaib picked up plenty of wickets. Karamat is hyped up as all U-19 players here.

 

[insurge]

Fazal Subhan LA avg of 24 and is batting at #3 ahead of Babar Azam avg 43 in double the matches.. Sifarish at its best bravo

 

[Justcrazy]

Easy win for Pakistan on cards !

 

[Justcrazy]

Is Sami Aslam really good ?

 

[PTI]

Abdul Sami shots are going straight to the fielders, Finds it difficult to find gaps and feeling pressure of dots.He is more of a test match material.

 

[junaid.ahmed]

Is Sami Aslam really good ?

no,typical pakistani left hander who play in limited areas/directions

 

[Justcrazy]

The target is very small , batters in no hurry.

 

[junaid.ahmed]

Abdul Sami shots are going straight to the fielders, Finds it difficult to find gaps and feeling pressure of dots.He is more of a test match material.

no he should be dumped during his FC career, a batsman who cant find gaps in ODI cant find in test, where fielders standing on head all the day

 

[Justcrazy]

Sami slowly coming to his own here.

 

[Justcrazy]

A few wickets here may spice the game , Pakistan do not bat deep here.

 

[Justcrazy]

35 / 1

8 overs

 

[Justcrazy]

Aslam growing in confidence here

 

[Justcrazy]

up in only 9 overs .

 

[Hawkeye]

Sami Aslam!!

Wow.. great two strokes there.
[MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] don't wanna see him bat?

 

[pakistani pride]

Who is this no 3 bat?
Also what pathetic team combo.

We really are one stupid set up.
Seems there is no hope at all !

 

[Mamoon]

Sami Aslam!!

[MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] don't wanna see him bat?

Minnow bashing as usual.

 

[Mamoon]

Opens for Karachi Dolphins in the Gold League, got a double hundred few games back as well.

Decent FC batsman, but early to say if he can make the step.

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

This should be a breezelike chase I believe.......Would be disappointed of anything less than 5-nil TBH

 

[Hawkeye]

Minnow bashing as usual.

Haha expected reply.

Why Sharjeel couldn't score then?

Babar has failed in a lot of minnow matches as well.

Just see them score, both are future of PAK.

 

[Mamoon]

Haha expected reply.

Why Sharjeel couldn't score then?

Babar has failed in a lot of minnow matches as well.

Just see them score, both are future of PAK.

Because Sharjeel is pathetic and Sami is better than him, but way inferior to Babar.

He's overrated not because he's bad but because he's not a future Pakistan great.

At best he is Salman Butt level, who was good but nothing special.

 

[Pete Rose]

This Sami Aslam - he scores a lot of runs. He missed out on a few innings against India in some triangular if I recall, but making it up here.

 

[Pete Rose]

Raza showing why he is a gun ODI bowler yet the likes of Yasir and Zulfiqar being preferred. No doubt it's due to grandpa Misbah

Don't be a hater. Neither are playing the one-dayers. And raza hasan spends more time injured than anything.
No point him lounging around in UAE when he won't be playing the odi's.

 

[Kakar]

Jimmy Kamande is still playing for them.
