Pakistan thrash Cricket Australia XI by 196 runs in tour match

[Justcrazy]

Run out

 

[The intelligent Supporter]

Babar Not fluent here

 

[aloo paratha]

Run out

Who was at fault?

 

[KingKhanWC]

Good ol Malik, looks in good form. If he can play at a decent strike rate he will be an important player for Pak against the real Aus XI

 

[Justcrazy]

107 / 2

16 overs

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan should have targetted a big score here

 

[world cup captain]

Anything less than a 340 will be a poor display.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Akmal must come in next. Should bat no lower than 5 in the ODIs

 

[Justcrazy]

azam playing very slow here

 

[Justcrazy]

Run rate falling below six

 

[Justcrazy]

malik

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Only if Malik had received better coaching, he'd be a gun middle order player for us. Constructs innings effortlessly when in his comfort zone.

 

[Belawal2014]

Babar strugggggggling.

 

[ahmadharis1]

malik without a helmet now

 

[Black Zero]

after 26, 2/152

and Helmet back

Lost a lot of development time when he started as a specialist bowler (entire youth + first 4-5 years of domestic cricket).

He was 22-23 (if age is correct) when he made the switch.

Steve Smith is a rare example of someone who managed it well. Azhar Ali is iffy as he's very limited with his strokeplay after making the switch.

He performed best under Bob Woolmer

 

[ahmadharis1]

Anything under 320 will be a dissapointment

 

[Black Zero]

Do not worry, Azhar is yet to come.

More down to lack of qualified coaches than anything else.

 

[kingusama92]

He performed best under Bob Woolmer

Agreed.

Used to be my favorite player in the team back then. He was electric in the field, humble, and an underrated allrounder making a name for himself.

Looked fantastic among the stars (i.e. Yousuf, Younis, Inzi, Afridi, Akhtar) as he was low key and well spoken.

Sadly never developed past that point.

 

[Rayyman]

Wth Pakistan? We should be going at 7 or 8 an over. Is it a green mamba?

 

[kingusama92]

More down to lack of qualified coaches than anything else.

Absolutely.

A chunk of the blame does lie there.

Malik would have developed far better in a different system.

 

[blackanhyellow]

If Shehzad or azhar ali were going at a strike rate of 60, everyone would be calling for their necks.

But its important for Babar to makes some runs to get some confidence after that horror show in the test series.

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Two of our best athletes batting. They cover ground effortlessly.

 

[Black Zero]

four overs without four.

 

[Rayyman]

Good to see Shafiq fail. Well played Sharjeel. Azam in poor form, but fighting. At least he didn't get out. Malik as always feasting on noobs. Need to score quicker though.

 

[Black Zero]

out

 

[ahmadharis1]

Malik gone for 49, chased a wide ball, edged to keeper. Just misses out on century

 

[ahmadharis1]

Umar akmal in!

 

[Black Zero]

Umer came, now we would see some proper shots.
and proper placing

 

[world cup captain]

Disappointing to see Babar play so many dots but at the very least, he is rotating the strike.

What's Babar's ODI SR again and what's theirs?

 

[Black Zero]

wasn't it wide?

 

[Rayyman]

Cousins batting together.

 

[The intelligent Supporter]

Class by U Akmal

 

[world cup captain]

Class by U Akmal

Would have been out on other grounds as this is a small one.

 

[Justcrazy]

204 / 3

35 overs

 

[Justcrazy]

malik and Hafeez playing in same XI will be foolish

 

[Rayyman]

Azam should retire. Akmal looking good.

 

[Justcrazy]

Babar getting close to hundred

 

[world cup captain]

Azam should retire. Akmal looking good.

For a second I thought you meant Babar should retire from cricket while comparing to Akmal.

 

[ExplicitAI]

Yeah an in form Umar Akmal is what's needed in the modern ODI game.

 

[Rayyman]

Babar getting close to hundred

Who cares. Give others a chance to bat.

 

[The intelligent Supporter]

I thought I was the only one. Haha

 

[Justcrazy]

Azam 13 away from 100

 

[adarsh_bang]

And is this counted under list A, first class or not?

 

[160KPH]

If Akmal can come good, I think our batting will be in good shape.

I'm more worried about the bowling right now.
A lot rideable on Muhammad Amir and he hasn't delivered with wickets yet.

 

[Belawal2014]

And is this counted under list A, first class or not?

Under First-class is what the commie said.

 

[Junaids]

I have written before that I think Umar Akmal will feel challenged by the rise of his cousin Babar Azam, and will finally knuckle down and bat properly.

If that happens, Pakistan acquires two world class batsmen.

 

[Justcrazy]

Umar Akmal looking good

 

[Justcrazy]

Babar in 90s

 

[MMHS]

Is it a List A match, or like those jokes with 15 playing - 11 to bat, bowl & field?

 

[angrypathan]

Akmal gets to 50, and dismissed the next ball

 

[MMHS]

I have written before that I think Umar Akmal will feel challenged by the rise of his cousin Babar Azam, and will finally knuckle down and bat properly.

I wish I could believe that Umar has anything that's about ego, status co, challenge, comparison with peer/cousin ..... self respect.

Hope you are right - because he is one of very few who proved me wrong.

 

[Rayyman]

Akmal gets to 50, and dismissed the next ball

Who cares. Last 10 overs.

 

[world cup captain]

Why is Hafeez not coming in???

He needs to practice his new role.

 

[angrypathan]

Who cares. Last 10 overs.

Just providing updates for those not watching the stream bhaee Not criticising him

 

[Justcrazy]

and then

Umar gone

 

[angrypathan]

Why is Hafeez not coming in???

He needs to practice his new role.

Hafeez is not part of the playing XI

 

[jog_1]

Babar : on 98

 

[angrypathan]

Babar out for 98, unfortunate

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Well done Babar

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Baba Azaym out for 98.

 

[world cup captain]

Hafeez is not part of the playing XI

Not in Australia yet?

 

[Justcrazy]

Babar out for 98

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Missed Umar's innings...

 

[160KPH]

We always lose wickets in clusters.. that's going to make it almost impossible to put up 300+ scores.
Can't keep taking time off to consolidate innings.

 

[Rayyman]

If we score 320 against these guys, we will score 280 against Aussie team. Hopefully we can bowl well.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan should have got 350 minimum here

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Thornton has been impressive. Who's this guy? [MENTION=132373]Convict[/MENTION] @elipsism Looks a good prospect. He's been coached well.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Cant afford this kind of awful running in the ODIs

 

[world cup captain]

Comedy of errors )

 

[Justcrazy]

291 / 5

about 30 balls left

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Lmao. Always entertaining. )

 

[Rayyman]

Why are they taking singles?
Hit sixes!

 

[MMHS]

CA XI actually have played a trick - they should have batted first. Even if PAK posts 400 & wins by 150, it doesn't prove anything. Any significance would have been CA XI posting 250 & PAK winning it inside 35-38 overs, with couple of batsmen retired not out.

No, century from top 4 after everyone settled, is a big issue. However, Umar was sent at 5 - that's 2 slots promotion in 3 years - at this rate, he'll definitely open in 2023 WC (If PAK still makes the final stage )

Would rather have Babar open with Sharjeel in the future with Umar at 4. Haris at 3
