Pakistan v Australia | 1st ODI | October 7, 2014 | Sharjah | Australia Innings

[Shafi]

Does anybody know about Mohammad Amir Ban? There supposed to be an ICC meeting this october and they will give the verdict. Please let me know if there any news.

 

[menace2society]

Can somebody confirm if Raza Hasan is injured? I really need to know this.

 

[mosh101]

Why did they delay the start to 3pm local time?

 

[saiyan0312]

One word, PCB ) )

agreed. It can be used in many forms as well.

 

[saiyan0312]

Yeah these words are so overused

no kidding.

 

[Yatoo]

Heads must roll. I could have slept an hour more.

Same story here. How much I hate to sleep in small small intervals

 

[Bashira_taeli]

Ramiz saying he doesnt know much about Sami Aslam. The host seems to know more about Sami than him.

 

[Arsal_AK]

The PTV guys are all clowns and epitomize what is wrong with our cricket.

Shoaib is not a middle order batman because he plays his shots. A middle order bat should only take ones and twos.

I think we are the only team that is still stuck in the 60's. Pathetic mentality.

 

[menace2society]

Ramiz saying he doesnt know much about Sami Aslam. The host seems to know more about Sami than him.

He also said we need Younis Khan at no.3.

Moron.

I listened to that also, they are completely correct.

Maqsood is not a middle order batsman. He is not settled enough. He is a lower order basher.

 

[thecricket]

It wasnt delayed, everyone got the timing wrong.

Why did they delay the start to 3pm local time?

 

[JibranAnsari]

Ramiz raja knows jack about our current cricket.

 

[Jabo]

please no hacks in the game

that means no shafiq/amin

 

[Arsal_AK]

I listened to that also, they are completely correct.

Maqsood is not a middle order batsman. He is not settled enough. He is a lower order basher.

Please... If Maqsood is not a middle order batsman then who is??

The lower order basher would be U.Akmal. No idea how to build an innings whatsoever.

 

[saiyan0312]

Ramiz really is embarrassing himself. seriously has no idea about his own countries players. Pathetic to say the least.

 

[Arsal_AK]

Shehzad thinks its not going to turn much.

 

[Convict]

[MENTION=132373]Convict[/MENTION] did the Aussie channels get it wrong too?

I don't have foxtel

 

[Moh@n]

Well this wrong timing fiasco must have screwed some folks up on the fantasy cricket competition )

 

[saiyan0312]

Jones saying its going to be like the UAE series against srilanka type pitch. 300+ pitch he is saying. Win the toss and bat first is his call.

 

[Mr Consistent]

Aussies are batting first

 

[imshally81]

Aus bat first

 

[Shafi]

As usual Misbah loose the toss

 

[Strike Rate]

and misbah lost another toss lol aussies batting first i hope there is dew in evening

 

[saiyan0312]

Misbah lost the toss and australia are batting first. Man this will be tough. highest chase in 216 ODI is 285

 

[razabbas]

bowl first

 

[Arsal_AK]

Pak chasing.

 

[imshally81]

We can chase.. No problem.. We have fawad n maqsood

 

[Mr Consistent]

Zulfiqar Babar debuts for Pakistan; Sean Abbott for Australia

 

[razabbas]

Maqsood dropped

 

[imshally81]

No raza hasan

 

[imshally81]

And no maqsood

 

[hk031992]

Whats the playing 11 for Pak?

 

[Asif321]

Asad shafiq to open, Maqsood dropped shocking

 

[hussain.r97]

As usual Misbah lost the toss Now losing the toss should be renamed to "Misbahing"

 

[Arsal_AK]

Maqsood dropped. )

That has got to be the worst lineup I have ever seen.

 

[saiyan0312]

our bowling looks weak. anwar in and spinners are zulfi and afridi. shafiq opening and sarfraz and umar are playing.

 

[Red Devil]

Why is Maqdood dropped?!?

 

[Sam18696]

Worst playing 11 I have ever seen 150 collapse confirmed

 

[saad32170]

Is raza hasan injured or they just didn't select him?

 

[Bashira_taeli]

Maqsood dropped!!!

This is ridiculous.

 

[hussain.r97]

I'll be interested to see how Shafiq does

 

[Aman]

And no maqsood

Knew it

 

[saiyan0312]

Maqsood dropped. some real senseless stuff from the management. I was talking about smart picks and it seems they went the other way.

 

[Asif321]

XI: Shahzad,Shafiq,Akmal,Misbah,Fawad,Sarfaraz,Afridi,Anwar,Wahab,Zulfiqar,Irfan

No junaid also

 

[Arsal_AK]

Can't believe that Maqsood is dropped. This is just Pathetic.

 

[Mr Consistent]

Pakistan: Ahmed Shehzad, Asad Shafiq, Misbah-ul-Haq, Umar Akmal, Fawad Alam, Sarfraz Ahmed, Shahid Afridi, Anwar Ali, Wahab Riaz, Zulfiqar Babar, Mohammad Irfan.

 

[Aman]

Knew Pakistan would drop Maqsood

 

[Hamza_]

our bowling looks weak. anwar in and spinners are zulfi and afridi. shafiq opening and sarfraz and umar are playing.

What on earth are they doing? Raza Hasan dropped? Misbah is such senior specialist. And Shafiq?

 

[Sam18696]

Playing XI

Shehzad
Shafiq
Misbah
U Akmal
Fawad
Sarfraz
Afridi
Anwar
Babar
Wahab
Irfan

 

[Aman]

Pakistan: Ahmed Shehzad, Asad Shafiq, Misbah-ul-Haq, Umar Akmal, Fawad Alam, Sarfraz Ahmed, Shahid Afridi, Anwar Ali, Wahab Riaz, Zulfiqar Babar, Mohammad Irfan.

This team isn't capable of chasing much.

 

[hussain.r97]

Batting looking ridiculously week, is Raza injured? Maqsood dropped two spinners? Be prepared for an absolute thrashing, because our tail starts at 6/7....

 

[Convict]

I wonder if that over he bowled had any influence on Maqsood getting dropped?

 

[Mr Consistent]

Australia Team
AJ Finch, DA Warner, SPD Smith, GJ Bailey*, GJ Maxwell, JP Faulkner, BJ Haddin†, SA Abbott, MG Johnson, KW Richardson, NM Lyon

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

What the hell! Shafiq has some real connections

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Shafiq in place of Maqsood Are you serious ??

 

[Arsal_AK]

No Junaid also. I back Aussies to get around 320-350. They just need to save wickets up front.

Wahab, Irfan and Anwar will be bowling at the death.

 

[Aman]

5 batsmen, 1 Keeper and 1 Afridi

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

I wonder if that over he bowled had any influence on Maqsood getting dropped?

No misbah just has a love affair with Asad shafiq

 

[Arsal_AK]

Batting looking ridiculously week, is Raza injured? Maqsood dropped two spinners? Be prepared for an absolute thrashing, because our tail starts at 6/7....

It starts at six ) ) Sarfraz is in at six.

 

[Pak_Jazba]

No Junaid Khan as well.

Wahab Riaz makes his way based on some good T20 performances.

 

[Zaid23]

is this a joke? No Maqsood...are u kidding me?

 

[zains_rulez]

Not a good team selection

No Junaid , no Maqsood

Asad Shafiq is hack , Bowling looks horrible

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

5 batsmen, 1 Keeper and 1 Afridi

And only 1 and half batsman who aren't tuk tuk

 

[Bullet Drive]

Maqsood dropped on what basis?

Anwar ahead of Junaid?

Babar ahead of Raza?

Shafiq ahead of Aslam?

Pak deserve to lose today and I wont even care one bit.

Pathetic jokers.

 

[steelo green]

Awful stuff.

Honestly I may stop watching Pakistan cricket.

This is just friends and family day at the office.

 

[Aman]

I wonder if that over he bowled had any influence on Maqsood getting dropped?

Back yourself to win now?

No Raza and no Maqsood.

The acceleration will have to come from Umar alone.

 

[saiyan0312]

I would pick junaid over anwar anyday. seriously why are we carrying him. he has no pace and his batting isnt that awesome.

 

[Yatoo]

Openers
Shehzad and Shafiq
Middle Order
Misbah and Fawad
Tailenders
Akmal, Sarfaraz, Afridi, Anwar, Wahab, Irfan and Babar

 

[Arsal_AK]

5 batsmen, 1 Keeper and 1 Afridi

The batsman include Misbah and Umar the top order players as well.

You forgot the allrounder in Anawar too.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Umar akmal should have been dropped for maqsood.

Only in pakistan a failure shafiq replaces a promising maqsood.

Anwar ali wont be able to bowl 10 9vers.. this is a wierd team selection.

 

[Bashira_taeli]

This Asad as opener brainwave of Misbah's better work. You cant drop a performer like Shoaib.

 

[Sam18696]

What happened to Raza? He should've been picked!!

 

[saiyan0312]

Mass joke of a selection. this is pathetic. man this is just too much.

 

[menace2society]

Anwar Ali should not be in the squad.

Agree with Maqsood being dropped.

 

[Zaid23]

No Maqsood, Junaid or Raza Hasan....this is the worst pakistani team in last 2 or 3 years for a one day match....only 5 batsmen

 

[Moh@n]

Lolz so Pakistan drop Maqsood and Junaid.

Australia drop Starc.

 

[JibranAnsari]

This team cant score more than 230

 

[Barragan]

Knew Pakistan would drop Maqsood

Only in Pakistan would a match winner like him be dropped for a ttf.

 

[Arsal_AK]

Awful stuff.

Honestly I may stop watching Pakistan cricket.

This is just friends and family day at the office.

This. I can't fathom why would they pick Anwar and Shafiq over Junaid and Maqsood. Awful stuff.

 

[hussain.r97]

More like Sarfraz in place of Maqsood Sarfraz shouldn't be in the team until after the World Cup. Shafiq has his place on merit, and is actually promising. Batting far too shallow, only 2 spinners vs AU. Recipe for disaster.
