Pakistan crash out of the Asia Cup: Sri Lanka (252/8) beat Pakistan (252/7) (DLS) by 2 wickets

[VForVendetta]

Who can replace Babar as captain? Pak team is full of passengers from top to bottom.

Imad
Sarfaraz
Both will do better job than the nothing job he is doing.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Shaheen brute of a ball.

 

[batandballbattle]

hope he is ok, first good delivery from shaheen today

 

[ahmadharis1]

He was decent with the bat also. Babar simply wants to pick his friends in the team.

Exactly he's solid with the bat too.

But why pick a consistent domestic performer with experience in the County Championship when you can pick your friend who did well in the PSL 6 years ago?

 

[sam_ahm]

This is embarrassing for Pakistan. I admit I expected them to breeze past SL, even with a depleted bowling line up. This will hurt and will also throw Pak's WC preparations in total disarray. They have problems but don't have time to rectify them, what disaster.

 

[Bhaijaan]

He’s passed the concussion test by correctly naming all his ex girlfriends names. Even in despair, love was alive.

 

[Saj]

Pakistan attack looking toothless.

Unless something crazy happens, this match is gone.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Shadab tried himself to hit the batsman’s head but ended up bowling a juice full toss instead.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

SL has this in the bag

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

He was decent with the bat also. Babar simply wants to pick his friends in the team.

Happens every time. They form a clique of buddies and minnow bash and go missing in the big matches.

 

[Thanos]

One full toss in a shadab's over is default setting.

 

[Marooned]

Shadab deserves the sack. I'm sorry but he's bowling like an amateur. Has been trash this entire year.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Bowling has been all over the place

There's no bench strength if the 3 main ones go down

 

[Bhaijaan]

Boundary.

Shadab failing again to bowl a bouncer or a full toss.

 

[Cover Drive Six]

If given the opportunity, I could perform better than Shadab.
Please kick him out ASAP.

 

[IAJ]

Why is Shadab bowling here? They will never learn

 

[7sins]

How dumb can babar can be

 

[pakistanisgreat]

The problem is since last year we were just playing for ranking. We did not prepare our team. No middle order batsman, no spinner, no fast bowling allrounder. Just one opener.

 

[Asif321]

Shadab been absolute crap

 

[YousafTheBeast]

Number 1 team going into the World Cup as the underdogs abajajajkhgsdhhhahhhaaaaha

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

The replacement for a middle order batter is Haris the biggest brainless hack you could pick.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Shadab deserves the sack. I'm sorry but he's bowling like an amateur. Has been trash this entire year.

Literally a full toss every over like Qadir

Don't see why Abrar hasn't been tried in ODI's yet

 

[Mamoon]

Now deluded media and fans will use Naseem and Rauf’s absence as an excuse. They were not going to uproot any trees here.

Number 1 team badly exposed and it is well deserved.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Shadab completing his half century, in the 7th over.

Two full tosses during this great over

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

No wicket since 94 balls, poor stuff

 

[Marooned]

Bowling has been all over the place

There's no bench strength if the 3 main ones go down

The trick is not to let the main ones go down.

 

[King_Babar]

It is shaheen who is captaining the side, Babar is not interested in talking to teammates. This bond has broken.

 

[castortroy]

Got humiliated v India and not about to get battered by srilanka

 

[captain.hansolo]

We'll see ya all in the world cup, no way Pakistan is making the final.

 

[RexRex]

Pakistanis, it's time to start panicking. SL are on a mission here.

 

[Nado_]

That’s me signing off guys , see you at the World Cup , can’t be arsed with this match any more

 

[adzzy786]

This is just poor. Shadab has been horrendous

 

[Marooned]

Now deluded media and fans will use Naseem and Rauf’s absence as an excuse. They were not going to uproot any trees here.

Number 1 team badly exposed and it is well deserved.

Ok. Whatever makes you the happiest

 

[captain.hansolo]

Got humiliated v India and not about to get battered by srilanka

Let's not mince any words, about to get humiliated again. In one week and between 50 overs the much acclaimed bowling attack has managed 2 wickets.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Shadab tried himself to hit the batsman’s head but ended up bowling a juice full toss instead.

This is what happens when you pick "allrounder" frauds for their supposed secondary skill.

Indian TM please note that we have 3 of these in our squad and it never ends well.

 

[shah9425]

Embarrassing bowling performance

 

[mrtaim3]

This Asia cup has been truly humiliating. The curse of Mickey Arthur.

 

[Asif321]

Pakistan only took 1 wicket

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Chalo, at least time saved for Sunday, no more cricket for few weeks. My estimate, we be 6th or 7th in the WC table. Some amazing bowling may give us a 5th position but with so many passengers this team ain't going anywhere.

 

[Omer2002]

So if you see my early posts i clearly said we are bottlers plus how can you be a number 1 side without beating any big guns..

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

It feels PCB have only focussed on the T20 team and the other formats have been neglected.

I cannot comprehend how there are no other competent batters apart from Babar and no spinner. Gone back to relying on bits and pieces cricketers.

 

[captain.hansolo]

Pakistan should take solace from the fact that their Women's team is performing outstandingly while their Men's team continues to flounder.

 

[JattMaula]

While is Chacha bowling now?

 

[Falcon'sParwaz]

Why is Babar still giving overs to Shadab? Or Babar wants to level the score after alleged dressing room fight?

It's better to bowl out Wasim jnr & Zaman Khan than giving overs to Shadab.

 

[Rana]

Pakistan boundary riders have been good

 

[Marooned]

.

So if you see my early posts i clearly said we are bottlers plus how can you be a number 1 side without beating any big guns..

Alas, I missed that early wisdom, what do I turn to now?

 

[jnaveen1980]

Rizwan batting like Bradman was a tell tale sign this is a batting beauty.

 

[Third Man]

This is what happens when you pick "allrounder" frauds for their supposed secondary skill.

Indian TM please note that we have 3 of these in our squad and it never ends well.

Jadeja is class. Akshar Patel and Thakur are ordinary and India doesn't need to waste their time with them.

 

[Cover Drive Six]

What is he appealing to the umpire for?
This Rizwan guy ..lol

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Out, its too late?

 

[pakistanisgreat]

zaman got his wicket

 

[Asif321]

Wicket for ifti

 

[TheNeutralist]

Ifti mania

 

[Devadwal]

Gone .is this turning point of the match??

 

[Ali Active]

Too late??? or we should still hope

 

[JattMaula]

While is Chacha bowling now?

What do I know. Bobby is a genius.

 

[msb314]

Finally a wicket - let’s see what we can do

 

[captain.hansolo]

So if you see my early posts i clearly said we are bottlers plus how can you be a number 1 side without beating any big guns..

There is a difference between bottling and incompetence, this is the later.

 

[adzzy786]

Gone .is this turning point of the match??

Doubt it

 

[7sins]

Ifti chacha did it but too late

 

[160KPH]

Iftikhar has clearly booked his spot for the World Cup

 

[Marooned]

Gone .is this turning point of the match??

Yes devadwal. Yes. It's game over for you.

 

[Asif321]

Still asalanka silva shanaka wella to bat

 

[Devadwal]

75 need from 74 balls .This is going to be nail biting finish

 

[batandballbattle]

something has happened at least, need to apply pressure now

 

[castortroy]

Harris what a clown

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan have got the wicket , they need to tighten the screws here now.

 

[Devadwal]

Poor throw

 

[Asif321]

Harris missed it

 

[castortroy]

75 need from 74 balls .This is going to be nail biting finish

Lol no it's not. We are not in 90s.

 

[Marooned]

Haris prolly another potential choker. What was that pathetic throw?

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Need mendis wicket somehow

 

[160KPH]

Put the pressure on, they will fold

 

[Ali Active]

harrissssssss this could have easily been match changing moment

 

[RexRex]

Asalanka is a beast. SL have this.

 

[adzzy786]

Chachaa was disgusted

 

[Thanos]

Run out would've been sone pe suhaga here. Poor throw Harris

 

[Devadwal]

Yes devadwal. Yes. It's game over for you.

For me?? How so ,can u please explain it?

 

[lontje]

Harris needs to sit out for another 10 games after this performance

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

How did we miss that.
