Pakistan v Australia | 2nd ODI | October 10, 2014 | Dubai | Pakistan Innings

[aukhan]

This is Sarfraz Ahmed's highest score...

 

[Amjid Javed]

shehzhad knocking in the edges on his bat, just hasnt looked convincing at time as a batsmen but needs to cash in with a 100 here,

 

[Aman]

Great start by Pakistan. Good chance to build a good total and put serious pressure on Australia

230 pitch according to Deano

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

maxwell yet to bowl !!!

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

lets hit a boundary now

 

[Varun]

These two are batting like Sehwag and Tendulkar at the moment.

 

[razabbas]

Highest score by sarfraz

 

[Ikball]

100 runs partnership, hmmmmm Pakistani batsmen had taken last match defeat seriously.

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

get to 100 within 20 ....

 

[Aman]

Sarfraz scoring runs is good for everyone for the WC

 

[MRSN]

shehzhad needs to learn to move his feet, seems to be fishing at times when there is nothing on offer to the bowlers.

I hope batting coach is closely looking at those few shots he played against Mitch with no foot movement..

 

[saiyan0312]

Best score for sarfraz so far.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Aussies are quite..

 

[Aman]

These two are batting like Sehwag and Tendulkar at the moment.

RR is still under 5 an over.

 

[razabbas]

These two are batting like Sehwag and Tendulkar at the moment.

sehwag takes 20 overs to score his own hundred not teams hundred

 

[Mr Consistent]

96-0
20 overs

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Who among these two will first reach 50

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

come on it has been long due .........

 

[Yatoo]

lets hit a boundary now

U r wishing too much

 

[Bullet Drive]

Who will reach 50 first?

 

[Ikball]

Sarfraz scoring runs is good for everyone for the WC

what?

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

Who among these two will first reach 50

i was wondering the same!!!

 

[MRSN]

Fantastic start for Pakistan, will be interesting to see who will finish the innings off for them.

It'll be Umar Akmal you know it.

 

[imshally81]

No Maiden.. wow

 

[imshally81]

:50:

 

[Asif321]

maqsood would have got us quick runs today after this start but we have three tuk tuks coming

 

[Lords]

Dream start by the two. Need to speed up the RR now.

 

[ViciousMachine]

Well played 50!! Really badly needed for Pak

 

[saiyan0312]

Lyon on and shezad gets his fifty and partnership

 

[razabbas]

fifty by shehzad scored 49 more runs

100 runs partnership

 

[MRSN]

There's 50 for Shehzad. It'd be nice if he goes on to get a 100 as well.

 

[Mr Consistent]

 

[Sam18696]

fifty for Shehzada (take that Haddin)

100 partnership

 

[GreenKnightRises]

fro Shehzy.

But his career is Regressing

 

[Mr Consistent]

for shazzy

 

[Ahson8]

Shehzad 50.

 

[MRSN]

I just hate Shehzad dancing down the ground against spinners.

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

sarfraz it is ...

 

[Mr Consistent]

100 up for pak

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

sorry shehzad

 

[Amjid Javed]

50 for shehzhad well played

 

[Ikball]

Who among these two will first reach 50

Who will reach 50 first?

Ahmed will.

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

All is good till now.

 

[MRSN]

This is poor strike rotation.

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

now look shehzad go crazy

 

[razabbas]

last time hafeez and nasir scored 100 runs while opening and now shezzy and sarfoooo

 

[Amjid Javed]

Need to try and keep on top of all the spinners here.

 

[Asif321]

after 43 innings 100 partnership for Pakistani openers

 

[Aman]

It'll be Umar Akmal you know it.

That's it? If he goes, then who else is there?

Compare this to Aus, who have a number of players who can shift gears.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

A four and five dot balls

 

[Mr Consistent]

4 runs from the over

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

if a pacer comes on ... shehzad is gonna go boom boom crazy

 

[Amjid Javed]

Typical shehzad hits a 4 start of the over then wastes the rest of the over with 5 dot balls, just sums him up as a batsmen.

 

[Arsal_AK]

Well played Shehzad. Need to get a ton.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Shehzad needs to bat through the innings and be there at the end. Sarfaraz once reached his 50, must attack!

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

pitch turning

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

20 overs and 100/0 is a great score guys.

You can even reach 300 from here.

250 is a surety unless you mess up big time.

This match is in Pak's bag unless Pak batsmen bat unusually bad from now on and their bowlers bowl pies.

 

[Bullet Drive]

And this post sums you up. Negative as always. Cheer up.

 

[Justcrazy]

Shehzad needs to rotate strike

 

[coy0607]

I really really hope Shafiq isn't padded up any more- This is either Akmal or Alam time

 

[MRSN]

that's a pathetic shot. What in the world was he thinking.

 

[ViciousMachine]

Phew, dropped.... Be careful boys. Dont go nuts. RR is totally fine.

 

[Aman]

what?

He'll struggle in Aus/NZ pitches, that's my hunch.

His shots seem like strokes that will only work on slower pitches which don't offer don't offer too much bounce or pace.

Your thoughts on Shehzad?

 

[Justcrazy]

Catch dropped!!!

 

[imshally81]

Dropped

 

[Mr Consistent]

bach gya

 

[Sam18696]

Catch dropped

 

[saiyan0312]

DROPPED!!!! umar akmal shot and bailey dropped shezad.

 

[ammar93]

Shahzad always does that after scoring a fifty. He got lucky this time.

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

a hundered is still a far away reality ... let him get to 80 first

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Is the pitch flat or does it spin?

 

[Asif321]

lol kaptaan drops dolly

 

[Sam18696]

Go Sir Fraz make a maiden 50

 

[saiyan0312]

 

[Mr Consistent]

 

[imshally81]

I really really hope Shafiq isn't padded up any more- This is either Akmal or Alam time

What about Afridi ??

 

[imshally81]

 

[Mr Consistent]

poor maqsood

 

[ViciousMachine]

50 for Sarfraz, great stuff !!!!
