Pakistan v Australia | 1st Test | 25/10/2014 | Dubai (DSC) l Day 4

[Bullet Drive]

Ok fair enough. i shouldnt have posted that.

you know he has a weakness against spin correct. You have watched as as much as i have correct? eevry match since his come back. The thing is that he has a massive flaw that needs to be rectified or else he will end up becoming a liability on any turning pitch However he has shown improvement from his previous horror levels. that doesnt mean that we will see him play like lara but it means that he has improvement but what he must do is improve on that improvement and increase his learning curve plus he needs to become consistent. TBH apart from the slowness of his knock he has looked assured and tackled spinners well which is a good sign.

Shehzad is weak against spin.

 

[saiyan0312]

Who has matched Tendu?

virat kohli in ODI is going in the same line.

 

[Bullet Drive]

You can.

How far is he from Tendulkar now?

That's why context is important.

Like Shehzad is playing well against average spinners today.

But I still don't think he is good against good spinners.

test ton v herath

 

[Aman]

Yes, now its toothless. Keep it coming.

How else would you describe it? Even the Aussies would say the same.

 

[saiyan0312]

So majority of PP want Shehzad out yeah?

I heavily doubt that since we dont have a replacement. even mamoon wants him in but he criticizes his flaws. till we get a dynamic opener who can score centuries, we cant let him go. Jamnsheed still needs more time to recover.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Deano on Shehzad 'good batting'

#BOOOOM!

I mean out as in this innings.

On course to becoming a world wide legend.

What's with the random pics??

You come off as a teenage girl having a crush or something on Shehzad.

 

[Bullet Drive]

44 more to Shehzad.

 

[ramizq1]

It's really disturbing how you keep all of these pics of Shehzad.

Seriously, this.

 

[Bullet Drive]

hahahahaha

 

[MRSN]

lovely, when you can play like this why tuk tuk?

 

[Arsal_AK]

There you go.

 

[Bullet Drive]

And those pics are from Google.

 

[Aman]

BD doesn't seem to understand cricket much, of course you're bound to score every so often.

It's what you do in-between those big scores that differentiates the good from the mediocre batsmen.

 

[saiyan0312]

I mean out as in this innings.

TBH i would want him to accelerate and score big. Apart from farhat ( since a knock of 20 will set his place) havent exactly wished anybody to get out.

 

[Bullet Drive]

38 more for Shehzada.

 

[saiyan0312]

good shot that

 

[Justcrazy]

Its time pakistan really accelerate here

 

[Ozymandiasza]

These cellphone ads are brutal. How do you guys watch sport like this?

 

[Sam18696]

test ton v herath

When? Don't recall any ton against SL in SL.

 

[Aman]

Averaging 38 whilst playing your whole career in the SC is pretty average.

If he were Indian, he'd probably be being pushed out by Indian fans.

Here some are making him a worldwide legend

 

[Justcrazy]

Lead 285 runs ....

 

[Mamoon]

It is true we don't have a replacement for Shehzad just yet, not until Babar Azam comes of age (much better than both Shehzad and Umar).

Sami Aslam is nothing special either.

 

[Bullet Drive]

SR at 40 now.

On :fire

 

[Red Devil]

now.

 

[Bullet Drive]

I am always right in everything I do.

Come back to me after this session.

Goodbye all.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan have to bat fearless here , they have nothing to loose.

 

[MRSN]

lovely flick by YK..has been good little cameo from him so far.

 

[ramizq1]

Go Pakistan Go. If they can keep even half the scoring rate as these first two overs people would start to calm down.

 

[Mamoon]

Is Younis making a case for ODI selection?

 

[Sam18696]

Good. Now they're accelerating.

 

[Aman]

Williamson made a century against SA, but I don't even really rate that as it was on a phatta (even though it was match saving, which did give it some value).

The true worth of a batsmen is shown when conditions are most difficult.

 

[Justcrazy]

there is no point in hanging around , Aussies would not go after 350 runs target.

 

[Red Devil]

Sarfraz has got the pads on

 

[Sam18696]

Looks like Sarfraz will be next.

 

[Aman]

I am always right in everything I do.

Come back to me after this session.

Goodbye all.

Do you want me to bring up those pics again?

 

[Justcrazy]

Williamson made a century against SA, but I don't even really rate that as it was on a phatta (even though it was match saving, which did give it some value).

The true worth of a batsmen is shown when conditions are most difficult.

Yes , no doubt.

Its important to contribute when chips are down. That separates good from great.

 

[saiyan0312]

sarfraz has his pads on. Looks like he will be sent in next

 

[hussain.r97]

I think the idea is to pile on as many runs as possible by tea. Hopefully Sarfraz or even Shafiq bat ahead of Misbah, both are busy players who can accelerate without too much risk.

 

[Justcrazy]

Sarfaraz has pads on.

 

[MRSN]

It is true we don't have a replacement for Shehzad just yet, not until Babar Azam comes of age (much better than both Shehzad and Umar).

Sami Aslam is nothing special either.

Shehzad is a good player but he needs to be fixed mentally. He is confused on how to approach his innings. He shouldn't model our tuk tuk machines he should just play his natural game which is aggressive.

 

[Justcrazy]

I think the idea is to pile on as many runs as possible by tea. Hopefully Sarfraz or even Shafiq bat ahead of Misbah, both are busy players who can accelerate without too much risk.

why not promote Yasir to slog a few

 

[qamar84]

safraz is pad it up so i think want to post run quickly on the board

 

[MRSN]

Is Younis making a case for ODI selection?

 

[Aman]

Yes , no doubt.

Its important to contribute when chips are down. That separates good from great.

This is why I haven't gotten ahead of myself with Williamson, he has a pretty ordinary record in Aus and SA.

 

[Mamoon]

Younis playing a beastly knock here.

 

[Red Devil]

Brilliant running. You can clearly see the sense of urgency now.

 

[Pete Rose]

Some honesty from Rameez about his batting talent.

 

[Mehran07]

This is Test cricket bro, go watch IPL or something

I just shocked at the current Strike rates. I expected reverse i-e Younis SR 36 and Shehzad 54. Try to understand first then comment.

 

[MRSN]

why not promote Yasir to slog a few

don't need yet. I'd have Hafeez come in next after Sarfraz. He can really slog the spinners.

 

[Pete Rose]

Younis showing he can be useful at the World Cup.
Provided he has batting 200 deliveries in a prior match and there is no pressure or flat pitch

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan need to set a target around 400 . Need to give time to bowlers.

 

[Pete Rose]

Pakistan should make enough runs to compensate for a brisk century from someone in the Aussie batting line up. The rest won't contribute.

 

[Justcrazy]

don't need yet. I'd have Hafeez come in next after Sarfraz. He can really slog the spinners.

He is out of form . Its better to try someone new.

 

[MRSN]

that came back..

 

[MRSN]

Younis showing he can be useful at the World Cup.
Provided he has batting 200 deliveries in a prior match and there is no pressure or flat pitch

YK coming back would mean your favorite good looking Asad will be benched..

 

[Justcrazy]

Shehzad striking at rate less than Younis , Pathetic batting

 

[MRSN]

He is out of form . Its better to try someone new.

yes he is struggling against pacers with the new ball but I think he will be different player against spin.

 

[Mir jibran]

It is true we don't have a replacement for Shehzad just yet, not until Babar Azam comes of age (much better than both Shehzad and Umar).

Sami Aslam is nothing special either.

yup sami aslam has failed in 4 matches against u.a.e so far

 

[Hamza_]

Shehzad should hit out now. Enough of this.

 

[Pete Rose]

YK coming back would mean your favorite good looking Asad will be benched..

I think the most expendable names in the odi batting line up are Akmal and sohaib these days. Deserved, I would say.

 

[Justcrazy]

Shehzad clearly playing selfish innings here.

 

[aukhan]

No hurry bat till TEA now.

 

[Zeshan547]

Pakistani team digging it's own grave by batting like jackals

 

[Justcrazy]

Pathetic approach by Shehzad.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan approach will force a draw.

The pitch has no demons.

 

[saiyan0312]

another one that came back.

 

[Pete Rose]

What's with the random pics??

You come off as a teenage girl having a crush or something Shehzad.

Groupie

 

[saiyan0312]

REVIEWED really.

 

[aukhan]

Yonis going fine...its Shehzad who after playing over 160 deliveries still playing like he is new at the crease.

If it was first inning then it would have been okay.

 

[saiyan0312]

its pad first but its hit way out.

 

[MRSN]

I think the most expendable names in the odi batting line up are Akmal and sohaib these days. Deserved, I would say.

but you don't have a good no.6 and 7 batsmen other than these two.. Batting at no.6 and 7 in ODIs mean you can strike at 100+ which Asad Shafiq is not capable of. Who is left then? Misbah?Fawad Alam?Yk?

 

[steelo green]

I think the most expendable names in the odi batting line up are Akmal and sohaib these days. Deserved, I would say.

Shafiq still has done nothing to remove either of those players. 2 innings with one fifty doesn't dispel a career. The series before the only win you had was because of brilliance by Maqsood. Don't drop Shafiq but saying to drop those two over him is knee jerk if I ever saw.

 

[Justcrazy]

what the management doing ? Why cant they tell shahzad to slog ?

 

[saiyan0312]

desperate review.

 

[Arsal_AK]

Shehzad clearly playing selfish innings here.

This is test cricket and not every ball can e hit out of the park.

 

[Sam18696]

YK is going to get out if Shehzad doesn't get a move on.

 

[Justcrazy]

This is golden opportunity to win a series against Australia.
