Pakistan defeat Australia by 45 runs in T20I Tri-Series with brilliant all-round show

[Deewana Mastana]

Needs to work on his action Shaheen.

 

[mmkextreme_1]

12 runs of Shaheens first over

 

[Hadi Rizvi]

He is mediocre for the role assigned to him.

Poor at power hitting, and okayish at bowling.

LOL sending him when you're 170+ in the last over and then expecting him to get 20+ in 6 balls!!

He's performed very well in Tests against IRE and ENG and at run a ball. That's something plus his power is 2nd only to Asif Ali in this XI.

Bowling wise he usually takes wickets against the run of play and has a decent ER and AVG in LOIs.

Proper allrounder if he improves his batting.

 

[Watsupdoc]

And uprooted the stumps! Faheem !!!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Bowled!

 

[Markhor]

Fahim gets his reward - rightly got another over and a deserved wicket.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Usman bhai, today a lot of threads need bumping. Guess, our brothers from the other side never learn.

We deserve this humiliation

 

[mmkextreme_1]

Faheem Ashraf gets Travis Head, middle stump gets uprooted

Good bowling!

 

[Shafi]

Got another!!!!

 

[Mueez]

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Faheem castles Short

 

[Slim]

Got him. Well done Faheem. :clap:

 

[Hadi Rizvi]

Like I said

Faheem is NOT MEDIOCRE

 

[Zeshan547]

Pak Pandiya with a fluke wicket,,,

 

[chinaman00]

A very bad day for the persistent whiners today. This team has shut them down again.

 

[Slim]

Proper allrounder if he improves his batting.

I agree.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Australia looking uncomfortable.

That was a ripper by Faheem

 

[Slim]

We deserve this humiliation

Cannot wait for the excuses though.

 

[Zeshan547]

Where is Mamoon??? Waiting for an Australian comeback?

 

[Hadi Rizvi]

Cannot wait for the excuses though.

Shaheen is AUS bogey man

 

[Arham_PakFan]

44-2 after 6 overs

 

[mmkextreme_1]

Great bowling by Shaheen Shah Afridi, cuts Maxwell in half there

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Peach from Shaheen.

 

[Rinnegan Sasuke]

Shaheen is a wicket taker, still needs to work on his run leakage though.

 

[Slim]

Wow, that was close. Shaheen needs to be more consistent. You can see the quality in him.

 

[mmkextreme_1]

Shaheen gets his 2nd wicket, Maxwell

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Shaheen gets Maxwell now!

 

[Mueez]

Cheetaaahhhhh

 

[Watsupdoc]

Shaheen >>> Amir

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Shaeen gets Maxwell

 

[chinaman00]

Never been more excited for a player in a long while. Go Shaheen!

 

[Kohli The King of Chase]

A WICKET TAKER. It's as simple as that.

 

[Markhor]

Someone send an IV drip for the good doctor [MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION]

 

[Hadi Rizvi]

Shaheen you beauty.

Game. Set. Match.

 

[Slim]

ANOTHER WICKET, just wow just WOWWW. Pakistani Fast bowling factory in the WORKS, ladies and gentleman. Shaheen, take a bow lad.

 

[chinaman00]

Shaheen >>> Amir

Shaheen is the hunting partner Amir needs.

 

[daytrader]

Game, set, match!

 

[Mueez]

Imagine Shaheen getting the last wicket of the final next year..........................

 

[Zeshan547]

Shaheen The Future Legend,,,

 

[Asif321]

wow shaheen

 

[Slim]

Someone send an IV drip for the good doctor [MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION]

Alongwith [MENTION=132715]Varun[/MENTION] brother. I am concerned about how his summer is going to turn out.

 

[Adijazz1706]

UKS vs Hasan Ali for the final, Pakistan needs an in the team always

 

[Markhor]

Shaheen getting that late movement into the right hander. Exciting prospect for sure once he develops further and gets more experience.

 

[Madplayer]

Extremely impressed by how Pakistan team management including Mickey Arthur have handled Shaheen so far. His development has been incredibly good.

They are keeping him around the national team, giving him the odd game here and there. Not burdening him much. I think in a year's time he will known around the world as the heir to the fast bowling throne.

 

[shariqnoor]

Despite being so tall, Shaheen looks a very poor bowler when he starts bowling short. However he looks really good when he starts bowling good length deliveries. To become a great bowler, Shaheen at the moment needs more First Class cricket. A country stint would absolutely rocket his career.

 

[Abdullah719]

ANOTHER WICKET, just wow just WOWWW. Pakistani Fast bowling factory in the WORKS, ladies and gentleman. Shaheen, take a bow lad.

It's the surprise factor. He will be figured out soon and the honeymoon will be over.

 

[Slim]

It's the surprise factor. He will be figured out soon and the honeymoon will be over.

) You should do stand up comedy man. Too good.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

D’Arcy Short needs to get a move on.

He’s on 16 off 23 balls.

Meanwhile Shadab’s first over goes for just 3 runs.

 

[Sirris]

With Finch and Maxwell gone I think we are on the top.

Great to see Asif Ali hitting boundaries against the big guys and Fakhar making more than 50 runs.

Is this Australia's normal bowling line up?

 

[yasir]

S Afridi is must for WC, Pakistan needs to give him 10-15 ODIs before WC.

First off he is different from all others, extra height gives us something different to throw at teams. Secondly, he has pace, can bring the ball in, bounce and reverse. This could be Pakistan X factor against like of ENG/IND in WC. Is he playing Odi series??

 

[Madplayer]

Usman in now. Good pace attack this with Hasan on the bench and junaid waiting for his turn.

 

[Mueez]

What good is about Shaheen is that he isn't afraid to bowl the fuller length.
Fuller length = wicket, as simple as that.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

With Finch and Maxwell gone I think we are on the top.

Great to see Asif Ali hitting boundaries against the big guys and Fakhar making more than 50 runs.

Is this Australia's normal bowling line up?

In T20’s,this is more or less their best lineup

 

[Abdullah719]

S Afridi is must for WC

I have heard this before somewhere

 

[Slim]

In T20’s,this is more or less their best lineup

Cannot wait to hear [MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] telling us its a 3rd string side.

 

[Markhor]

Agreed. Shaheen is raw and has to be managed carefully. You can't play him every game as he's still learning and hasn't had much domestic experience. His body is also still developing - you can't run a young pacer into the ground.

But he's in the squad mixing with the national team, the coaches are seeing him first hand, and gets to play the odd game.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

The bowling has been too good today.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Maddinson and Short have been very lucky.

 

[Usman Chadda]

No.1 team in the world ladies and gentlemen

The delusions in this thread are embarrassing

 

[mmkextreme_1]

Starc isn't playing, but in saying that he hasn't played a T20 since September of 2016...also I don't know why Zampa, the legspinner isn't playing

 

[Markhor]

Maddinson done like a kipper.

Lovely bowling from Shadab.

 

[mmkextreme_1]

Shadab gets Maddinson...good bowling that

 

[Madplayer]

Agreed. Shaheen is raw and has to be managed carefully. You can't play him every game as he's still learning and hasn't had much domestic experience. His body is also still developing - you can't run a young pacer into the ground.

Exactly. Its really tempting to play him in more games when you see him bowling jaffas. But they have been patient and rightly so. He needs to be managed well till he feels completely at ease.

 

[Slim]

Another wicket. Told ya its a one off.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Good piece of bowling by Shadab to get his first wicket.

Australia are 67-4 in 10 overs.

 

[Kohli The King of Chase]

You caught Australia on their off day. #Mamnoon

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

So......How's the fluke going guys??

 

[Sirris]

Go for the kill!

Aussies all out!

 

[angeldsoul]

You caught Australia on their off day. #Mamnoon

it was a dead rubber aus staying on focus for winning final only, this is just warm up for them

 

[Sirris]

In T20’s,this is more or less their best lineup

That's great to hear.

Initially I was unsure how to interrupt our first innings score.

 

[NeVerMind]

You caught Australia on their off day. #Mamnoon

Good point...everyone one else can have frequent off-days but not Pakistan...and when Pakistan win, it's just a fluke...and when one of the players who explodes on the scene at the beginning but then has a dip in form is a hack (like Fakhar) but when he improves, not a word in praise....

 

[Dagestani_Eagle]

Without Nawaz, this bowling looks good

 

[Adijazz1706]

Sarfaraz calling Shaheen beta )

 

[Kohli The King of Chase]

What no 6 yet??
And no four since 6 overs??

Oh! That's some bowling!

 

[last_knight]

Without Nawaz, Pakistan looks good

Fixed.

 

[Kohli The King of Chase]

Oh! Superstar already is Afridi. Wish we had such a bowler.

 

[Mueez]

Shaheen, we have gold in our hands

 

[Slim]

Another wicket for Shaheen. Hahahaha he makes it look so EASY. Yorker. Cartwheeled that stump. Boy oh boy!

 

[mmkextreme_1]

3rd wicket for Shaheen Shah Afridi

DJM Short gone

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Short falls Short to Shaheen
