Three Pakistani guys Arafat Minhas, Qasim Akram and Sufiyan Muqeem impressed me a lot. They should be fast tracked in the team.

I will definitely vote for Arafat Minhas. He looked like a complete package.

Maaro!!! UAE ko Khul ke Maaro!!!

 

[Shafi]

Haider Ali again? Rohail dropped after great performance.

 

[m.shah]

Rohail dropped after Man of the Match in last match.

 

[Shafi]

Rohail dropped after Man of the Match in last match.

Exactly!!! Typical captain and coach. Parchis are scared

 

[m.shah]

Exactly!!! Typical captain and coach. Parchis are scared

Haris should have been dropped himself instead.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Omair gone. Stupid run out

 

[Rana]

Typical Pakistani bongi

 

[khyberlion]

Stupid run out. Omair was looking great.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Haris better play a good knock otherwise he should drop himself for rohail.

 

[Rana]

Now we have to watch Yasir Khan eat up dots and only attempt shots on balls that are wide or in the slot

such a boring batsman!

 

[Rana]

1 run in the first over

2 runs in the 3rd over

Pakistan will always be a rubbish mindset team

 

[BouncerGuy]

good stuff from yasir

 

[Rana]

1 run
20 runs
2 runs
18 runs

next over likely to be 3 runs in the over

 

[BouncerGuy]

Select haris for tests... perfect guy

 

[Rana]

Maiden 5th over

atrocious batting! Pakistan's love to follow up a good over with a poor over in batting

 

[Devadwal]

1 run
20 runs
2 runs
18 runs

next over likely to be 3 runs in the over

Sharma ji ka ladka Bowl a maiden to haris

 

[Rana]

Now this will be a 15+ over it seems

 

[Rana]

What a great catch

 

[BouncerGuy]

Yasir gone...fabulous catch

 

[Rana]

Pakistan such a frustrating batting nation!

There is nothing stopping them to break the shackles and match the top nations! its these stupid mental blocks and pressure of being dropped letting them down.

 

[Shafi]

Great batting by parchi haris 1 of 9.

It also doesn't help when coaches or selectors are also supporting parchi instead of the team. How on earth they dropped Rohail but keep selected Haider and Haris again and again.

that was bizarre

this is why its probably right that the selectors make the playing XI

 

[Rana]

Sanchit so far 2 runs in 15 balls

Excellent bowling

 

[Rana]

Sanchit 0-4 in 3 overs

2 overs were bowled in the powerplay

 

[Rana]

What is this batting?

Its like Pakistan are the minnows!

 

[Rana]

7 runs since powerplay

clearly this kid Qasim cant attack outside of the powerplay

he slowed down massively last game too when the powerplay ended

 

[mominsaigol]

What is this batting?

Its like Pakistan are the minnows!

Haris must step up

 

[Rana]

Haris must step up

He has no clue against swing

Guy is only shown promise against straighforward pace in his career

 

[Rana]

six one ball

an easier slot ball followed up for a single by Qasim Akram

 

[Rana]

Short and wide ball completely missed by Qasim

 

[Rana]

Clearly lacking ruthless killer instinct as a batting nation

this is what differentiates you from the top teams in the world

 

[Rana]

Very Rizwanesque innings so far by Harris

 

[Rana]

Harris technique similar to Maxwell against spin.

Boy has potential

 

[Rana]

Chall vi Harris make it count now

 

[Rana]

1 from 9

now 35 off 24

the boss is on the move!

 

[Rana]

Omid 2 overs for 35

imagine he goes for 80 by the end of his quota

 

[mominsaigol]

1 from 9

now 35 off 24

the boss is on the move!

He's a good batter.

He won last acc cup as captain as well and in both cups he lost to India In group stages before beating them in a final.

He knows what he's doing

 

[Rana]

Rubbish by Qasim

Another player only suited for powerplay attacking

 

[Rana]

Misbah out

 

[Rana]

Solid bowling by Farooq

 

[BouncerGuy]

Haris is going all guns blazing now...

 

[Rana]

Gifted player

 

[BouncerGuy]

Haider just not been able to hit the middle of the bat.

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

Haider just not been able to hit the middle of the bat.

after years of cricket , he is still dumb

 

[BouncerGuy]

Reverse jinx working for haris and Haider,....LOL

 

[Azzurri]

Haider is a Tulla. Not worth investment

 

[BouncerGuy]

Pakistan Shaheens set a target of 180 runs for UAE

Pakistan Shaheens: 179-4 (20 ov)

 

[Asad T]

Harris finally steps up loll

 

[BouncerGuy]

Dahani takes 1.

Pakistan should be looking to dominate this game.

 

[Muhammad Saad]

Dahani bowling with some intelligence , He was swinging it away and batsmen were playing for swing and suddenly he drops a straight one and bam gone.

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

Mohd Haris is tulla, blind slogger, never plays ball on the merit..

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

Daniyal's speed and action is looking impressive

 

[Rana]

Really happy to see Harris shut up Salman Butt and Sikander Bakht today.

They have actively been trying hard to bring him down in the commentary box

 

[Asad T]

Daniyal's speed and action is looking impressive

Against an emerging UAE team, you would hope so

 

[Rana]

The legend Abbas Afridi

At least one boundary ball every over!

 

[Muhammad Saad]

Dahani looking unplayable as he is extracting swing , pace and bounce on a relatively dead wicket.

 

[Rana]

Against an emerging UAE team, you would hope so

He’s a good T20 cricketer

He’s been improving every year

 

[BouncerGuy]

Abbas has been a disappoitment.

 

[Rana]

Dahani looking unplayable as he is extracting swing , pace and bounce on a relatively dead wicket.

Real test will be against Prabhsimran and Abhishek if Pakistan get there

 

[Rana]

Do runs and wickets here count as Official international stats?

 

[BouncerGuy]

Abbas has been a disappoitment.

Reverse jinx works again...LOL

 

[Rana]

The format should be everyone plays everyone in the league stages

What’s the point of giving emerging players 2-3 games with potential of being knocked out? They deserve 6-7 games at least

 

[FearlessRoar]

Brilliant catch by Yasir Khan

This is about standing up to it boldly.

 

[Muhammad Saad]

Arafat turns the ball at very high speed making is arm bowl even more dangerous , Can be highly effective in T20s as a bowler alone.

 

[Asad T]

Sufiyan looks is bowling it too flat

 

[Muhammad Saad]

Sufiyan looks is bowling it too flat

He has no bite in his bowling like Arafat has.

 

[BouncerGuy]

50+ run win should be easy.

 

[Rana]

Great ball and stumping

Excellent game for Harris

 

[BouncerGuy]

A fifer for Dahani. brilliant spell from the "runner".LOL

 

[FearlessRoar]

Pakistan Shaheens are through to the semi-finals of the Men's T20 Emerging Asia Cup.

 

[Azzurri]

Dahani has better communication and English speaking skills than Bobsy the timid
