Pakistan v Australia | 2nd ODI | 31 March, 2022 | Lahore | Australia innings

[silentkiller187]

Maiden century for McDermott 102 of 103 balls,shows run a ball innings are fine in odi as long as you have support from the other end

 

[Amjid Javed]

Australia should declare now, pakistan wont chase 230 in 50 overs never mind 400.

 

[Markhor]

Pakistan cannot cope with any format longer than a T20.

Babar still thinks it's the T20 WC where teams generally won the toss and bowled first.

However a weak chasing team like us easily collapse under scoreboard pressure, so better to bat first than cede the initiative.

Our bowlers have played on this grounds all their lives, they should know how to deal with dew factor.

Mcdermott and head werent blocking in PP nor were they playing 50 Dot balls.

 

[Shazzam]

Pakistan has given up. They will happily accept what ever total Australia makes.

 

[PakPremi]

Players like IftikhaR, Khushdil and Asif Ali should be nowhere near Pakistan team. Better to invest in Harris, Hurraira, Kamran Ghulam. Not sure about Haider as he is taking too long to mature,he has had quite a few chances.

It is madness to try the same thing again and again.
All he talks about are 3-4 buzzwords... Positive cricket, Dew Factor etc etc. Even in Urdu he offers no insights at all.

 

[oatmeal]

400 can be possible here unless there are a quick couple of wickets

 

[castortroy]

This is the same team that struggled against Windies and SA C teams

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

400 on

Babar's domestic and U19 captaincy record should've rang alarm bells.

For all of Sarfraz's faults, hiring him on paper made sense having won various domestic and U19 trophies. His problem was total loss of personal form.

 

[Sarwar89]

Craig McDermot man of the match at Gaddafi stadium 1987
Semi final 5/44

Ben Mcdermott man of the match Gaddafi stDium 2022

 

[Amjid Javed]

Look forward to imam blocking entire PP then scoring 100 by 40th over while asking rate is 14 an over later on.

 

[silentkiller187]

The irony is i dont even think dew is going to be as big of an issue as is being made out, veryminimal during first game, and arrived late

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

He is just good batsmen as per Pakistan standards, nothing else. An introvert person can never be a good leader.

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

Pakistan should've batted first.Dew didn't do much last game…but on a decent batting track…scoreboard pressure really helps

 

[silentkiller187]

Wasim Jr finally gets rid of McDermott , Pak need Labu out aswel to have 2 new batsmen at the crease and stem the flow of runs

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Will be an easy chase as this pitch looks easier to bat on.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Will be an easy chase as this pitch looks easier to bat on.

india are not playing here, its pakistan. Aussies already have enough runs to win the game.

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Khushdil is so useless. He just floats the ball . This is what happens when you pick players from PSL performance.

 

[iRfaN_LA]

india are not playing here, its pakistan. Aussies already have enough runs to win the game.

He is trying to jinx bro. Ignore him.

 

[Colorblind Genius]

Australia should declare now, pakistan wont chase 230 in 50 overs never mind 400.

This will be an interesting take.

I wonder if any team has done it before in the white ball format?

If not, Australia can create history here.

 

[silentkiller187]

Marnus Labuschagne brings up his 50 of 41 balls

 

[Nikhil_cric]

india are not playing here, its pakistan. Aussies already have enough runs to win the game.

Well. First off, I dont think 400 is on. More likely 330-340. Also, this will be an excellent pitch under lights.

 

[shortbread]

Labu is like the Aussie Imam ul Haq

 

[Sycamore]

Labu is such a kid at heart, sucking up the umpire "Ahsan Bhai"

 

[cric64]

A juicy chase is coming up. Pakistan have the firepower to easily chase 350.

 

[NeVerMind]

We are good hosts...could not sent Labu home without having done any batting of note during his tour of Pakistan

 

[light]

Pakistan needs to take some serious action if they want to win a ODI WC. This team looks very outdated. This is Australia's c team for crying out loud . Hopefully Babar and the boys clicks today with the bat

 

[boomboomcheema]

If the pitch is indeed good and Fakhar has a crazy game then Pakistan can have a small chance as long as the target is around 325-335, anything above 350+ would be impossible.

 

[angrypathan]

We are good hosts...could not sent Labu home without having done any batting of note during his tour of Pakistan

He scored a 90 in his first innings in the country lol

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Shaheen has been brilliant on an uber flat pitch. Lol at posters who are after his head.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Australia can easily score 120 more. Bowling is very weak.

 

[Amjid Javed]

This will be an interesting take.

I wonder if any team has done it before in the white ball format?

If not, Australia can create history here.

I think Aussies should repay pakistans generosity all tour by declaring here.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pakistan will not score more than than the 271 Aussies already have, mark my words.

 

[silentkiller187]

Another good catch for Saud

 

[PakPremi]

Labu played a Pakistani style inning considering they were in a driving seeat with plenty of wickets left.

 

[BunnyRabbit]

Joke of an ODI team we are becoming.

 

[silentkiller187]

Stoinis getting a talking to for running straight down the pitch

 

[Ahsanax]

PCB seriously need to invest in some young spinners, there wasn’t even a single good one in PSL.

 

[NeVerMind]

16 off the whole over...Khusdil won't even make that during his batting innings

 

[PakPremi]

In absence of Shadab, good to see some good fielding by Saud and Fakhar. Need to stop bowling spinners they are giving way too many runs.

 

[PakPremi]

Now a very good catch by Rizwan.

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

95 runs of 10 overs bowled by Khushdil and Ifti

 

[iRfaN_LA]

16 off the whole over...Khusdil won't even make that during his batting innings

Khushdil making the ODI side based on some fluke PSL performances is a joke. He is a bits and pieces players, at best, he can perform in T20.

 

[PakPremi]

Zahid was poor too.

 

[Amjid Javed]

once again its tough for new batsmen to come in and score. So important to score heavy in PP and 1st 20/25 overs of a match.

 

[Ahsanax]

There is a difference between bowling a quota of 4 overs and 10. Khushdil has been overbowled clearly, he doesn’t have the capacity to bowl this many overs.

 

[ha5is12]

Wasim Jnr is a direct replica of Hassan Ali

 

[Amjid Javed]

Best for pakistan if Australia doesnt tour for another 24 years. Embarrassing stuff here.

 

[NeVerMind]

Pak have a really pulled it back

 

[Ahmed216]

once again its tough for new batsmen to come in and score. So important to score heavy in PP and 1st 20/25 overs of a match.

Old ball not coming as well on to the bat in both games. We need an explosive start from imam again

 

[ha5is12]

Honestly it's not even that Australia are better. We just have an inferiority complex against them. A mental block which we'll struggle to overcome

 

[PakPremi]

All three pacers have bowled well bar few overs.

 

[Ahmed216]

Shaheen bowling absolute garbage.

 

[Villager6964]

No way Pakistan chasing this total.
It's not easy to score at the end of the innings
Imam and babar will make sure Pakistan doesn't score much in powerplay overs

 

[Snowflake]

Wasim was brought on for just one over? and now will be back for either the 49th or the 50th? That doesn't make sense.

 

[Markhor]

Khushdil making the ODI side based on some fluke PSL performances is a joke. He is a bits and pieces players, at best, he can perform in T20.

One half-decent PSL campaign and our foolish selectors will throw that player into not only T20s but ODIs and maybe even Tests.

Said before the match that using Khushdil and Ifti as 5th and 6th bowler was asking for trouble.

 

[ssuhaide]

Aussies will get 350. And I expect a loss of well over 100 runs.

 

[shariqnoor]

Mcdermott and head werent blocking in PP nor were they playing 50 Dot balls.

McDermott literally was 0 off 11 balls in the Powerplay at the start of his innings.

Criticize Imam when he's doing badly. Not when he scores a century at 111 SR. It makes you look stupid. Even in the middle, it was Babar playing at 70 SR. Imam was going decently.

 

[oatmeal]

Good bowling in the death to contain the Aussies. This is chaseable

 

[NeVerMind]

Waz Jnr undoing all the hard work with 2 consecutive boundaries

 

[ha5is12]

Don't understand why neither naseem or dahani are anywhere near this team

 

[TheSultan]

These Aussie reserves probably think international cricket is really easy

 

[Ahmed216]

Good bowling in the death to contain the Aussies. This is chaseable

Yes if we are allowed to bat twice

 

[Kroll]

Fakhar will need to be on his game to chase this down, early exit and its curtains as the rest will resort to stats padding.

 

[Ahsanax]

We can’t even chase this in test forget the ODI but then you never know, Fakhar is the key

 

[Kroll]

Fakhar will need to be on his game to chase this down, early exit and its curtains as the rest will resort to stats padding.

What am I even saying, chasing 350? LOL

 

[Kroll]

Why didnt they just bat first? They’ll be peeing their pants looking at that score.

 

[Snowflake]

Is the bowling bad or are they batting really well?

 

[Snowflake]

Why didnt they just bat first? They’ll be peeing their pants looking at that score.

Because just being dumb isn't enough for Babar. He is ziddi as well.

Worst combination.

 

[NeVerMind]

We need to score our highest ever chasing total to win this..ain't happening with this batting line up

 

[PakPremi]

Scoreboard pressure and batting under lights not goodfor Pakistan. Good catch by Babar but damage has been done.

 

[castortroy]

Can anyone put up the head to head in one day cricket between pak and Aus

Surely its embarrassing reading

 

[Ahmed216]

Is the bowling bad or are they batting really well?

Bowlers have been guilty of bowling too many boundary balls. Specialist part time bowlers ifti and khushdil did nothing but float the ball up

 

[PakPremi]

Is the bowling bad or are they batting really well?

Spin bowling was terrible,but good batting against pacers.

 

[sindhiboy]

Is the bowling bad or are they batting really well?

the batting has been good

 

[NeVerMind]

Can we bowl Aussies out?

 

[castortroy]

Afridi picking up cheap, useless wickets

 

[Ahmed216]

Sean abbott is a better hitter than anyone in our lineup. Khushdil and other hacks can do it only in low level domestic leagues
