Pakistan v Afghanistan | Match 36, World Cup | Leeds | 29th June, 2019 | Afghanistan innings

[shah_1]

Why is Hafeez there?

 

[Asif321]

Slow hafeez

 

[Ronaldo7]

No excuses, we should be doing better than Afghanistan.

Sure.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Poor throw by uncle hafeez

 

[castortroy]

How did they get a single there

Can't have hafeez there

 

[Fahdi]

Hafeez costing us more runs and a potential run out

 

[Mamoon]

Afghanistan has learned its lesson from the India match. They know they are unlikely to survive for 50 overs, so they have decided to take the aggressive route. 250/10 in 40 overs is better than 210/9 in 50 overs.

Had they played with the same approach against India, they could have won the match.

 

[m.shah]

That’s a trick question. I normally do support neutral underdogs, and it’ll be an experience at PP if Afghans indeed win it. But, I guess PAK is far better side - deserves a last shot at BD with stakes on high.

Ya i also think that if pak win today that bangla game would be cracker

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Afghan to throw now

 

[Zeshan547]

you don't have 40 plus real Age fielder on that place Sarfi

 

[shah_1]

Turn and bounce

 

[Asif321]

This look like 350 pitch and with Afghan bowling Pakistan should chase anything. But it will not help our NRR.

30 overs of quality spin
Babar Harris imam fakhar all weak against spin

 

[castortroy]

Big turn

 

[BleedGreen]

Wheres shadabs googlies

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Salam. I also thought 170 & PAK winning inside 30, but both teams have played absolute rubbish cricket so far - probably the worst 17 overs in WC including both sides. AFGs might score lot more here because they have got their nose ahead & they do bat deep.

Afghanistan looks nervous, I am smelling a collapse.

 

[ScotRaz]

Haaaaaffffeeeeeeez!

Can we not hide him somewhere else in the field

 

[Madplayer]

Pathetic bowling.

And the pitch is offering turn.

 

[Mujtaba2900]

Good thing about Recent Matches is that sarfraz Is coming With A Plan .But On The field if Plan Doesn't work he Cant Improvise .
Camtt make good decisions and Completely lose the plot

 

[BleedGreen]

104/3 after 20

 

[Afhan Ali]

Shadab’s job is done for the day. He has made a couple of good looking dives which were caught by the camera. Everything else now is a bonus.

It is very sad that a mediocre player like Shadab is our spinner

Group stage exist can make change in Pakistan cricket?

 

[member250]

30 overs of quality spin
Babar Harris imam fakhar all weak against spin

Doubt anyone of them will turn anywhere near what Santner did.

 

[Hasan123]

Minnows Afghanistan best performance with the bat comes against in form Pakistan.

This forum goes ott after 1 win. We have been poor for months , that's why I was telling people to calm down. This team has not earned the right to say back them or comments like we will smash India in the semis or final.

 

[Markhor]

Classic Shadab, one good ball beating the edge followed by a full toss !

 

[pakistanisgreat]

When i see turn by shadad...i get worried about rashid

 

[Titan24]

Good comeback from Shadab in this over

 

[Ronaldo7]

30 overs of quality spin
Babar Harris imam fakhar all weak against spin

Quality? )

 

[Fahdi]

Good last over from Shadab. Better length

 

[Afhan Ali]

Turn and bounce

Mujeeb, Nabi and Rashid make our batting cry

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Afghanistan looks nervous, I am smelling a collapse.

Nervous of what? It's a spinners track and Pakistan have three crap spinners.

 

[Rifaqat]

This is our chance

Ikram to face 5 balls from Wahab

You need to calm down. We’re doing mostly well here.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

A T20 batsman with a Test batsman, what a combination

 

[Hasan123]

At least it looks like a decent pitch.

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Can Wahab save Pakistan's honour?

Looking very bleak right now.

 

[Ahmed216]

Wahab bhai cant pick a wicket when required, even against Afghans. M all prepared to see him bowl another garbage
spell of 10 overs.

 

[Mamoon]

It is very sad that a mediocre player like Shadab is our spinner

Group stage exist can make change in Pakistan cricket?

He is hyped as some superstar in the making when his bowling is barely good enough to get him into a Ranji team. Sums up the level of Pakistan cricket at the moment.

Group stage exist may not change anything, but the chances will be higher. If we jump on the semifinal train by hopping on one leg like we are now, we will pretend everything is okay and will be back to square one soon.

 

[Zeshan547]

ikram is a night watchman at best.

 

[MMHS]

Anything wrong with Amir or Sarfaraz preserved him for another 5 for in last 10 overs?

 

[Hasan123]

You need to calm down. We’re doing mostly well here.

I don't plan for the semis after 1 win.

Doing well isnt going at 5 an over against a team who has been rubbish with the bat in this tournament.

 

[castortroy]

Pak on the whole bar Amir have bowled poorly

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Wahab came good after 2 bad deliveries

 

[m.shah]

A T20 batsman with a Test batsman, what a combination

Output 50 over partnership

 

[BleedGreen]

Need shaheen for a couple overs

 

[IAJ]

Need wicket of Afgan.

Ikram bhai can stay at the crease though.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Afghan needs to get out

 

[Asif321]

Boys need to get wicket

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Nervous of what? It's a spinners track and Pakistan have three crap spinners.

Be positive bro they won’t bat 50 overs, maximum 35 -40

 

[Mamoon]

Wahab will be a trundler in 24 months time. He looks tired these days and he should be put out of his misery after this World Cup. From July 2019 onwards, he has nothing to offer to Pakistan cricket.

 

[Afhan Ali]

Mediocre spinner are bowling full tosses

 

[saeedhk]

Shaheen should have continued to bowl. They’re scoring too quickly. Bad toss to lose today.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Full toss again..lucky he survived

 

[Asif321]

Shadab with his crap full toss

 

[Markhor]

Full toss to start over from our lead spinner.

wow expecting Pakistan to bow out because we don't like certain player.

 

[Deewana]

wicket coming

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Output 50 over partnership

Should bring Amir for Asghar

 

[pakistani pride]

Wicket will get better to bat on.
Dont worry guys. We will be OK.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Common boys..afghan looks to hit every ball

 

[Markhor]

Need to dump Fake Swag Duo of Imad and Shadab after WC and induct proper spinners into the side.

 

[Hasan123]

Come on Shadab.

Who said that?

Why does the team have to earn the right to be backed? Any Pakistan supporter should back the team.

Anyway, the bowling has been quite poor today, no doubt.

Had the potential definitely, but he went to Afridi route unfortunately, instead of Richi Benaud route. I actually called foul when he got an offer from Big Bash. Should sit out couple of years from every PL & SL, otherwise he’ll need to improve batting lot, to justify his spot. Poor bowling today on this track - conceded 4/5 singles on either side for alternate balls!!! Sarfraz needs to bash him (this time genuine) and ask to bowl at one side.

 

[Fahdi]

Good from Shadab again. Keep dragging him forward. Though he gave away easy singles to Ikram

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Need a wicket...in sha Allah this over will bring wicket now

 

[Markhor]

Afghan spinners surely will make more of the dry wicket than we are.

 

[Asif321]

250 I sense we will lose

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Quality? )

Yes quality

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Be positive bro they won’t bat 50 overs, maximum 35 -40

That will be down to Afghans being a poor batting side. I am just making a rational assessment of Pak spinners that they are crap, and that is accurate.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Imad back on

 

[saeedhk]

Shadab is actually a very mediocre bowler. Bowls 1-2 good deliveries in match and gets a wicket. Santner was spinning the ball miles the other day and Shadab was average.

 

[Ronaldo7]

Yes quality

Low quality

 

[Zeshan547]

[MENTION=79064]MMHS[/MENTION] maybe Wahab has some unfinished business in Australia, so Last 20 20 wc in 2020, and he is best Yorker bowler in Pakistan, and even aging Wahab can be an asset if he bowl after 12th over and can bowl 4 overs easily and do Umar gul Part 2, and he can tonk it as wel if needed. so not the worst option,

 

[Hasan123]

Posters say positive stuff. When a team loses so many matches as in the last few months , how can you be positive?

I agree. We clearly lack wicket takers. Haris has been instrumental in our last two wins

 

[ekpakistani]

Haha looks like we don’t want to win today

 

[AdamM97]

Imad’s bowled better than Shadab so far. Wooow. Shadab needs to step up his game today.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Shadab is a decent spinner but he is not that good.

 

[Titan24]

I don't plan for the semis after 1 win.

Doing well isnt going at 5 an over against a team who has been rubbish with the bat in this tournament.

By this logic NZ might stop playing cricket in shame considering how they batted against Pak bowling when they were going for 300 in most of the matches.

Everyday is a new day, historical performances cant predict the future with 100% certainty. Any team can give an improved performance in a given day.

 

[Asif321]

Sarfraz instructing in Urdu lol
Afghan can understand

 

[Hasan123]

If Malik performed , Haris wouldn't have been playing. Garbage think tank.
