[Sanzcool]

Pak team can play b/w themselves instead of playing such a team

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Why is Shafiq getting a game. Awful ODI player.

 

[ahmadharis1]

Asad Shafiq opening????

 

[badsha001]

Most of the Australian players look u19

 

[Pakpak]

Shafiq gone.

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Technique gone.

 

[Justcrazy]

Asad gone )

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Nice to see that Asad failed. Had he scored here he might've actually gotten a game

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

What's Azhar doing in the playing 11 if he's not opening?

 

[Justcrazy]

Asad again fails in this format , that too against inexperienced bowlers

 

[Justcrazy]

Babaar at number 3

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

Asad should not be in the squad.

I guess our selectors felt like they had to reward him for the hundred in a losing cause in the first test. Pathetic selectors.

 

[ahmadharis1]

Most of the Australian players look u19

I remember reading that 5 of the players are 18 or younger, i'll try to find the link

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Absolutely love watching Sharjeel

 

[Justcrazy]

Selecting Asad for OD is a stupid decision , players should be chosen according to formats .

 

[badsha001]

Meredith got some pace but his head position is awful, wouldn't be surprised if he gets injured... lacking basic lesson bowling 101...

 

[Hadi Rizvi]

I hate this kit. Why don't they change it??

Our best kit in recent times was probably the World Cup 2015 one or the 2015 BAN series kit.

Haven't seen a decent kit since then

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Our 2 best players in the middle

 

[Justcrazy]

19 / 1

4 overs

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Hahaha Sharjeel. Shot

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Sharjeel is a special special player

 

[Pakpak]

sharjeel on fire

 

[Justcrazy]

Sharjeel on fire

 

[Hadi Rizvi]

Pak XI is really weird

Asad Shafiq
Sharjeel Khan
Babar Azam
Shoaib Malik
Umar Akmal
Mohammad Rizwan (wk)
Imad Wasim
Mohammad Nawaz
Azhar Ali (C)
Hasan Ali
Rahat Ali

Khuda ka wasta hai. Yeh kit badal do. Worst kit ever

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Babar could've played the leg glance there but he didn't. He's learned. Our best batsman

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Shot

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Babar could've played the leg glance there but he didn't. He's learned. Our best batsman

Relax guy. Every time you get excited, they end up losing their wicket.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

These 2 are the future of our LOI teams. Superb cover drive from Babar

 

[Justcrazy]

Babar

 

[badsha001]

Master Stroke by Mickey Author to play Azhar Ali as a bowler and Rizwan as a keeper... hafeez should open in next game.

Pak XI is really weird

Asad Shafiq
Sharjeel Khan
Babar Azam
Shoaib Malik
Umar Akmal
Mohammad Rizwan (wk)
Imad Wasim

Rahat Ali

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan need to win this by a big margin , not just win it

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Wow wow wow

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Almost got bowled after my post

 

[ahmadharis1]

i love watching sharjeel bat, especially when he's clicking and in good form

 

[Hadi Rizvi]

What's so special about Rizwan as keeper??

 

[Justcrazy]

Sharjeel feasting against this bowling

 

[Hadi Rizvi]

i love watching sharjeel bat, especially when he's clicking and in good form

Yup. That's for sure. He hits them and hits them hard. Can be absolutely destructive if he plays 40-50 balls

 

[Pakpak]

Sharjeel blazing away.

 

[badsha001]

To give a clear message to Sarfraz that you are not an automatic choice for playing XI...

What's so special about Rizwan as keeper??

 

[KingKhanWC]

Sharjeel ruining these kids.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Sharjeel what a pull shot yaar

 

[Pakpak]

Boundary after boundary, carnage Sharjeel

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Waiting for people to make excuses that the bowling is poor. These 2 are simply our best batsman. Accept it

 

[Hadi Rizvi]

To give a clear message to Sarfraz that you are not an automatic choice for playing XI...

LOL

They are resting Sarfaraz bro.

FYI, Sarfaraz had the highest runs from either side during the ENG ODI series.

 

[Justcrazy]

fifty up for pakistan

 

[Justcrazy]

Important will be when Sharjeel faces Starc

 

[Hadi Rizvi]

Sharjeel what a pull shot yaar

Its a typical Sharjeel special pull

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Good to see Sharjeel take middle guard. He's learned.

 

[Justcrazy]

Flying start , Asad should be disappointed to miss on this opportunity

 

[ExplicitAI]

61/1 you know, that's not bad at all.

 

[jog_1]

Azam is susceptible outside off and straight on leg. Hazlewood is gonna look forward to bowling to him in the ODIs.

 

[Pakpak]

68/1 after 9. Sharjeel on 46*

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Excellent cover drive. Where are those geniuses who said Sharjeel can't play through the off side?

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

Not sure why Pak has to play against such weak teams for their warm up matches.

 

[jog_1]

Not sure why Pak has to play against such weak teams for their warm up matches.

To build up the morale, just so Warner, Smith, and Starc can destroy it

 

[KingKhanWC]

Lovely drive by Babar

Important he finds some form here.

 

[jog_1]

On a side note about Sharjeel. Dude has potential to become a quality LOI opener but you can tell he lacks a hunger for runs and is lethargic/lazy a lot of the time. He needs to improve his work ethic.

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Hopefully Umar comes in before Malik.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

50 for Sharjeel. Excellent. Go on and quadruple that

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Hopefully Umar comes in before Malik.

Hopefully having Sharjeel, Babar and Umar in the top 4 will neutralize the Azhar effect to an extent.

 

[Belawal2014]

That famous Akmal scream from Babar.

 

[Justcrazy]

Sharjeel 50 off 33 balls.

 

[badsha001]

Wouldn't be surprised if Sharjeel score 200+ today...

 

[KingKhanWC]

Doesn't look like he lacks hunger for anything else. Way overweight , this will set him back. A great talent but needs to be professional regarding his fitness.

 

[Justcrazy]

81 / 1

11 overs

 

[Ankit007]

Pak showing Aussies what they can do

 

[Justcrazy]

Wouldn't be surprised if Sharjeel score 200+ today...

If he gets 100 in OD , it will be much more valuable.

 

[Boom boom legend]

Doesn't look like he lacks hunger for anything else. Way overweight , this will set him back. A great talent but needs to be professional regarding his fitness.

The guy looks too heavy. I get the impression that he isn't a fan of running between the wickets and prefers to deal in boundaries. Can become a world class LO if he works on a few areas of his game, including temperament which a lot of our players lack. No need to go after every ball.

On a side note, thought the arrival of Mickey Arthur would help get our players in shape, but doesn't seem so.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Good over by the left arm spinner.

 

[Hadi Rizvi]

Dunno why but whenever I watch Sharjeel it seems like the he played the shot in slow motion but the ball goes 2x faster than normal

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan should try and go for 400 here

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

Babar looks short of confidence. Not batting that well.

 

[Ellipsism]

Babar looks out of sorts.

 

[Belawal2014]

Stupid call..

He looks unfit not just over weight. Sometimes a player can be on the larger side but remain fit, having good stamina but with Sharjeel this doesn't seem to be the case. Not only running between the wickets but getting tired will mean playing shots every ball.

Run out, tbf he ran well trying to get back, bad call.

 

[Hadi Rizvi]

Yaaaaar Sharjeel was all set for 100+

 

[world cup captain]

NO NO NO... I just got on to see a on fire Sharjeel! (

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Malik.

 

[Ellipsism]

Sharjeel diving )
