Pakistan collapse to 6-run defeat in 4th ODI against Australia despite Abid Ali, M Rizwan hundreds

[a_tahir]

Yeah those 70 SR 100's against Zim and SL have solidified his place

Let's be honest. He played well in Sa. So he deserves the spot.

 

[Omer2002]

so much spin.....this is not fair

 

[Plumb]

This guy got some ability, Not a typical Pakistani aerial or tuck kind of batsman

that what happens when you honor domestic performances, people make blanket statements that current playing 11 is the best available.

 

[Syed1]

Might be getting nervous now that he is approaching first fifty.

 

[Omer2002]

Only thing i like about haris i actually rate him a better spinner than imad....

 

[Bilal7]

The irony with this gem of a post is the fact that both of these players have been recalled from Inzi in the recent past.

Another mishit. Giving players a recall is not a problem. Constantly giving them recalls is.

Yeah those 70 SR 100's against Zim and SL have solidified his place

More like the super series he had in South Africa and his big, fat average of 60.

 

[Syed1]

RRR rising to 6 and still 200+ runs to get... Haris needs to get a move on.

 

[imranraf]

Haris Sohail is not a good for modern day LOI game. Unfortunately, we have too many likes him but not many modern day LOI players.

 

[Bilal7]

Only thing i like about haris i actually rate him a better spinner than imad....

He should be bowling at least five-six overs an innings. Hafeez can help finish the fifth bowling quota.

 

[MMHS]

Could still be useful in the World Cup no?

Can't and shouldn't tell that after watching half an hour against an Aussie attack of whom none might make the WC squad and on a track that won't be found in UK after 7 seasons of severe drought.....

I think, he is a better Test prospect than ODI - for WC, I would open with Babar and play Fakhar at 3; Imam is not going any where unless he breaks his both legs.

 

[Syed1]

Zampa and Lyon have bowled 5 overs for 18 runs. Very very bad.

 

[Afhan Ali]

Why these domestics batters didn't select in PSL?
Abid, Saad, Saud, Zeeshan, Badar etc.

 

[babajee]

Would take him as the 3rd opener in the squad given that he can keep wickets too.

 

[Bilal7]

If Abid Ali's SR falls below 90, all these bandwagoners will start jumping off like fleas.

 

[Syed1]

In a good partnership you compensate your partner and help him out of a tough spot. Abid is nearing a first international fifty and is rightly slowing down. Haris should have stepped and increased his own SR, instead he is happy batting at 50 SR. Mashallah

 

[SM1989]

Pathetic batting by Haris Sohail. Should stick to test cricket

 

[Omer2002]

Gone

 

[Syed1]

If Abid Ali's SR falls below 90, all these bandwagoners will start jumping off like fleas.

You are hoping for him to fail.

 

[Afhan Ali]

Haris always out when it matters the most

 

[Barragan]

Awful knock by haris, absolutely pathetic!

 

[coy0607]

one inning aside, Haris has been horrible on this tour

 

[Plumb]

Harris seriously man??

 

[Omer2002]

bad time to lose a wicket...

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Well done Sohail, you are only good for test

 

[msb314]

Poor by Haris - needed to bat out the innings...

 

[Syed1]

One of the worst innings I have ever seen by Haris. Right up there with Misbah's debacle in Mohali.

 

[Something]

Pathetic from Sohail. This guy really should not be in this ODI side.

 

[a_tahir]

Why these domestics batters didn't select in PSL?
Abid, Saad, Saud, Zeeshan, Badar etc.

Maybe coz they're not t20 players.

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Another selfish innings by Haris. We don't need him in the worldcup squad. I have no sympathy for players who only play for themselves.

 

[iRfaN_LA]

One of the worst innings I have ever seen by Haris. Right up there with Misbah's debacle in Mohali.

Basically dug a hole for the team and then left the scene.

 

[Syed1]

He was selfishly going to tuk tuk his way to a fifty. Glad he got out. I have no patience for selfish players like Shehzad, Imam and Haris.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

What was Haris doing all this time? Pushed the required rate to over 6 for his 43 ball 25 and then throws it away.

 

[hasanali]

Classic Haris Sohail knock. He is the king of the indifferent 30.

 

[MMHS]

Would take him as the 3rd opener in the squad given that he can keep wickets too.

I know he can keep, but not sure how .... is this common in PAK that the chubby guys are groomed to be WKeeper? - Sarfraz, Umar, Kamran, this guy, Moin's son .... must be new trend then. When I started watching PAK, it was the skinniest guys that used to keep - skinny but not weak, rather like coiled rope - Bari, Dalpat, Yousuf, Latif. Days have changed for sure.

 

[DRsohail]

yea Micky was right about deopping Haris Sohail.

 

[Snowflake]

What a pathetic knock

 

[Snowflake]

Our batters are scared of the ball like it's a freakin grenade

 

[Cric1234]

Haris and Malik at 4 and 5 is not going to work on any wicket.

 

[a_tahir]

Basically dug a hole for the team and then left the scene.

Misbah dug a hole but made it even deeper and deeper

 

[indianpanacea]

Saad should have come instead of rizwan

 

[a_tahir]

Haris and Malik at 4 and 5 is not going to work on any wicket.

Where's saad?

 

[Omer2002]

well it is spinning it no wionder finch the destroyer is here...i am not sure why akmal keeps going down and down the order when they said he will play at 4

 

[Asif321]

No Harris for WC please

 

[Cric1234]

Rizwan struggles against spin Mickey sends him in great coaching.

 

[Mueez]

Should’ve sent Umar Akmal at 4 today.

 

[Asif321]

Now Rizwan will make sure to put pressure on Abid

 

[Omer2002]

finch also spinning it.....this is a disaster

 

[indianpanacea]

Position 4 should be given to Umar akmal

 

[Asif321]

It was good time to send Saad Ali

 

[Abdullah719]

Good stuff.

Failure of our "connections-based" system. Got a sifarish or dad in the PCB? You're in.

You do realise than Shan Masood and Mohammad Rizwan impressed as much, and even beyond that in that same series, but you keep berating them to no end.

Shan Masood is in the team via 'connections' rather than his List A average of 55+

 

[Asif321]

Haris is one of the most boring batsmen in world cricket

 

[Afhan Ali]

Rangana finch hearat is also spinning it

 

[MMHS]

Haris should be shamed of where he is today and only can blame himself if he doesn't make it to WC. Apart from his batting, I am not sure if he can last 9 games in less than 5 weeks. Could have been a real asset for ODI team with his bat & ball, safe catcher as well.

 

[Bilal7]

You are hoping for him to fail.

No, I'm happy that he's playing well and happy that Inzamam has delivered another tight slap across the collective faces of his irrational critics.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Same old problem for pak.. to many dots.

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Position 4 should be given to Umar akmal

exactly. Don't see the reason for sending Rizwan in at this time. He will just hurt the RRR.

 

[Bilal7]

Saad Ali should have batted at #4 with Umar Akmal coming in at #5. We know what Rizwan can do but with Babar coming into the team, he's not going to bat at #4 for Pakistan.

 

[TeymurBlake]

Debut 50. Well played. Can't wait to see Saad Ali play.

 

[Omer2002]

i am liking riziies sweeps thats how you play spin..thats what maxwell and carey did

 

[Syed1]

Just get that single Abid!!

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Rizwan on a roll

Has hit some fours and now a six

 

[Omer2002]

lo ji we can hit sixess too...

 

[Afhan Ali]

Woow rizwan the finisher

 

[Syed1]

I think Rizwan is being sent out there to undo Haris' garbage knock

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Btw very happy for Abid. He has performed upon finally being given a chance

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Just bring back the Pace , this guy will struggle

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Two lions from Pak A together.

 

[msb314]

Rizwan on fire!

 

[Omer2002]

sweep again goood ...does he have a reverse sweep

 

[Sadozai]

Rizwan in full motion

 

[Mamoon]

Give Rizwan a good run and he will wipe the floor with Sarfaraz.

 

[Mueez]

Wow Rizwan!!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Big shot by Rizwan.

4 sweeps for 4 in the last 8 balls he faces including a 6.

 

[topspin]

That's the way to go Rizwan, seal that wk spot!

 

[Syed1]

Wow just the over we needed....




(England) Lion slayers


dekho dekho kaun aya
Shair ka shikari aya

 

[SensiblePakFan]

Finally FInch gets the treatment

 

[indianpanacea]

For world cup
Fakhar
Imam
Babar
Akmal
Hafeez
Sarfaraz
Imad
Hassan
Yasir
Amir
Shaheen

 

[Titan24]

Even Rizwan is a much better stroke maker than Haris, with our current team we cant afford Haris and Malik both in the lineup in the middle

 

[Sirris]

Rizwan showing how to treat a part-timer. A rare sight in Pak cricket, where the tradition is to help the part-timers achieve legendary status.

 

[DRsohail]

yea Micky was right about deopping Haris Sohail.
