Pakistan obliterate Zimbabwe by 244 runs in fourth ODI after Fakhar Zaman's double-hundred

We should open our bowling with Babar and Sarfraz.
 
More than their ability, it's their character that impresses me.

Just one example: Asif sent Fakhar back when he tried to congratulate him on his fifty.

Humble, fearless and they play for the team.

This is the main thing imo and MashAllah the captain :sarf2 himself embodies this greatly.
 
Come on bro. Dont be cruel. Mickey should bowl all 50 overs himself to give away 200 runs with some luck.

You are accusing me of being cruel when you want Mickey Uncle to bowl all 50 overs? I mean he might be able to bowl 30 overs but expecting him to bowl all the overs is too much keeping his fitness in mind.

Don't worry Hafeez will bring him some Gatorade after every over :ma
 
Fun fact:

Pakistan have beaten every single team in their last LOI meeting with them.

:sarf
 
100 wickets for Junaid, hopefully he ends up finishing his career with a fruitful tally of wickets.

PPers here are more excited than those guys are about these runs ;-)

They are not reading too much into this...
 
Junaid had a very poor 2014 but his record isn't that bad when compared to other Pak bowlers such as Amir, at least Junaid can pick up wickets and topple the top order batsmen.

Not LOI, only T20 series, we have like 9 consecutive series win. We have been hammered by NZ back in JAN 5-0, lets not forget that :13:

Last LOI match between Pak and NZ was a T20. Pakistan won.
 
By letting Yasir play ODI as well it will be same story like Azhar. Azhar lost his touch in test due to play in ODI, same thing will happen to Yasir as well plus injury. PCB will never learn.
We need to get rid of Hafeez, Yasir and Nawaz from this team and include 3 youngsters for future.
 
Shadab Khan to Tiripano, FOUR runs, lured into the drive, thick outside edge past slip to the third man boundary. That this deflected off the keeper's glove made it tough for the slip fielder. Can't blame Sarfraz too, this was a very tough chance because this was a thick edge.

Yasir Shah just isn't LO material

He doesn't have a good googly, don't know why they added him to the squad.

You must have missed his BBL stint and his dismissal of Maqsood in PSL.
 
Guys bari zor se humiliation ahrahi hai kya karun? :ssmith
 
Just checked the score. Don't think Pakistan are going to get too many chances to score 400 again. They must be gutted :))
 
Watching this ragtag Zimbabwe side full of players who basically didn't have the guts to stand up to the ZCB and boycott the series like other rebels is sad. This is barely a County level team they're fielding.

However Pakistan have remained professional and 399-1 is about par against this bowling attack.

Fakhar Zaman is now proving he isn't a one hit wonder and someone we can rely on to deliver fast starts. Imam I still remain unconvinced due to his dot ball consumption - he will not be able to speed up his SR after slow starts against stronger attacks.

The litmus test for this team comes this winter in Asia Cup, AUS/NZ series and South Africa. Pakistan haven't got out of 2nd Gear in this series.

Good post, agree with your points on all 3 areas. ICC should take total control of ZCB and save cricket from the thieving cretins that have run the board for the last 20 years.
 
Despite the weak opposition it was an awesome performance by Fakhar. He has got to be our opener for next years World Cup!
 
Didn't watch that much but I saw majority of that partnership, crazy stuff! Although it's against a weak opposition so am not going to read too much into this.
