Pakistan thwart Brendan Taylor’s brilliance to seal 26-run win in first ODI against Zimbabwe

Lol thanks to our parosis for tuning in. Please observe a moment of silence for their dead hopes and dreams

Congratulations for the ODI win against Zimbabwe.

We're happy for you. I predict 2-1 for the series, so congratulations in advance for that too.

Fakhar has not developed his game at all. Infact he has gone backwards and its time to move on from him.

But I rather have fakhar than abid ali and haider ali over both

True that. Haris Sohail batted well alongside Imam who did ok but some really bad running between the wickets.

I'm just anxious and eager to see some new faces/caps to be issued. I really want to see Abdullah, Haider and Khusdil (he's grown on me especially, was quite impressed with his National t20 performance).

We need to be fearless in our approach and not be afraid to lose but be thankful that we tried and tested new guys. These are the games they should get and it's a perfect platform.

Haris Rauf a guy i supported is just seriously letting me down, what is he seriously doing!!!!!! I mean it's like the Katy Perry song- "Hot and Cold".

Next ODI

1. Imam ul Haq
2. Abdullah Shafique
3. Babar Azam (c)
4. Haider Ali
5. Khushdil Shah
6. Mohammed Rizwan (wk)
7. Imad Wasim
8. Zafar Gohar
9. Shaheen Shah Afridi
10. Wahab Riaz
11. Haris Rauf/Muhammed Hasnain

Haris batted well but hes not natural ball striker and doesnt have that good fitness to run 1 and 2s regularly.i dont think abdullah is in the 15 for the second odi but haider ali and khushdil are.

I agree with you that we should have tried youngesters and let them express themselves against weaker opposition.

I stil want to give rauf the new ball until the end of the series hopefully it was becouse of his first game hence why he was nervous.

Bearing in mind the 15 for the squad already my 11 would be.

Imaam
Fakhar
Babar
Haider
Rizwan
Khushdil
Imad
Qadir
Wahab
Shaheen
Rauf

Abdullah wont play in this odi as he isnt in the squad hence why I havent picked him same with husnain and gohar.
