[Ahson8]

Toss should be interesting today with all the rumours and what not..

 

[hussain.r97]

Logically Pakistan should win to maintain the W/L ratio

 

[DrSchultz]

I think captaincy drama was started by Ten Sports wallas to increase ratings.

 

[Arsal_AK]

Guys what if Misbah comes out at the toss??

 

[hussain.r97]

Guys what if Misbah comes out at the toss??

That would be hilarious! Troll level - Misbah ) ) )

 

[Yatoo]

Toss is more important than match itself today.
Hahahahhahaahahaha.
It happens only with Pakistan

 

[Yatoo]

Dean Jones says the pitch in Abu Dhabi is "beautifully prepared"
and the team winning the toss should bat first. Par score would
be 280+ according to him

 

[Pete Rose]

So exciting. Even a dead rubber can be exciting.
Pretty soon we will have bookies betting who comes for the toss in Pakistan.
Or maybe not Pakistan Cricket team has more leaks than the Bismark.

 

[Mir jibran]

and it is shahid afridi

 

[Arsal_AK]

Afridi at the toss. Misbah out.

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

Guys what if Misbah comes out at the toss??

PP will explode

and while i may not like it i have to commend the troll

 

[hussain.r97]

Australia to bat. Wanted to see Pakistan bat today
Well, looks like we're chasing. Predictions?

 

[leatherface58]

Lol Afridi doesn't even know who's in the team. )

 

[Red Devil]

Misbah not playing.

 

[Jabo]

Any changes to squad?

I actually wanted Pak to chase, will be better for them

 

[Arsal_AK]

Umar, Misbah and Wahab out.

Amin is in and about the rest Afridi doesn't know.

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

Lol Afridi doesn't even know who's in the team. )

i have lost count how many times he has done that

 

[Lords]

Australia batting first

 

[Sam18696]

Australia to bat. Wanted to see Pakistan bat today
Well, looks like we're chasing. Predictions?

100 all out Pak

 

[Bullet Drive]

Was correct on the team.

 

[Azzurri]

Misbah not playing.

twitter

 

[Yatoo]

No Akmal????? WTH

 

[Sherlock]

Akmal, Misbah and Wahab not playing.

Amin [ffs], Maqsood [about time] and Tanvir in [when will the suffering stop?].

Anwar Ali in for Raza Hasan.

 

[hussain.r97]

Umar Akmal, Raza, Wahab and Misbah out . Maqsood, Tanvir, Anwar and Amin in

 

[akamaka]

Lol afridi doesn't know who is in the team )

 

[Mir jibran]

sarfraz shehzad shafiq maqsood amin fawad lala anwar tanvir zulfi irfan

 

[DrSchultz]

Afridi has one job at the toss. To clarify who is playing. He can't even do that.

 

[Arsal_AK]

So Raza Hassan is thrown out too??

 

[Pak_Jazba]

So expect Australia to amass 270-300 today, and Pakistan to put up a fight but be rolled out for under 250.

 

[Red Devil]

Tanvir

 

[hussain.r97]

Raza Hasan dropped for Anwar Tanvir

 

[saeedhk]

Why the hell would you rest your best player?

 

[Jabo]

No Sami?

Joke!

 

[akamaka]

Should've rested irfan. Don't want him injured.

 

[hussain.r97]

Mitchell Johnson out for Mitchell Starc

 

[MRSN]

Why the hell would you rest your best player?

Because Asad Shafiq looks good.

 

[Arsal_AK]

No Raza

And then they say there is no bias in the team. What is it that they see in Anwar??

 

[Yatoo]

No Akmal. No debut for Aslam. Playing Amin and Tanvir and Anwar.
Sorry mates. But that is it for me. Waqar and Moin have ruined this team. Very soon we will see sign of physical violence in the dressing room (I m hoping for it).
Turning the TV off. See u.

 

[Red Devil]

Raza Hasan dropped for Anwar Tanvir

Just when I though the team selection could not get any worse )

Still no Sami Asam

 

[shaaik]

Pakistan v Australia | 3rd ODI | October 12, 2014 | Abu Dhabi | Australia Inn...

That batting is an ideal recipe for a collapse. Only a miracle Can save us today. Btw, is shahid Afridi our vice captain in Odis otherwise?

[akamaka]

Last chance i feel for the likes of Umar Amin, Shafiq and Anwar, if they don't deliver no point continuing with them.

 

[saeedhk]

Because Asad Shafiq looks good.

Asad is a terrible batsmen but our captain and coach do not get this.

They even drop our second best batsman:S.Maqsood.

 

[DrSchultz]

Is the worst bowling lineup for Pakistan? Ever?

Shahid Afridi*, Anwar Ali, Sohail Tanvir, Zulfiqar Babar, Mohammad Irfan

 

[Arsal_AK]

Anwar.
Tanvir.
Afridi captaining.
No Raza.
Umar Amin.
Akmal dropped.
No Sami.


How can someone get so many things wrong at the same time??

If Shehzad and Sarfraz fail, I predict us to roll out under a 100.

 

[Ahson8]

Online

No Sami Aslam.
Infact they played everyone except Aslam. I'm done with this team. Hope they lose today.

 

[90MPH]

I hope Australia score 300

 

[pakistani pride]

Lol no akmal and no raza !
What crap what nonsense.

This is becoming a joke.
We play losers like anwar and tanvir.

 

[Bullet Drive]

I heard that Raza Hasan is dropped and Anwar Ali is playing now too.

 

[Asif khan]

350+ on the cards for Australia.

 

[Barragan]

No Sami, Akmal or Raza Hasan?

Instead, we retain shafiq, bring in Anwar (not good enough with the ball), the golden boy and tanvir.

Also, shouldn't Irfan be resting because the guy is prone to breaking down, so why play him in a dead rubber?

 

[Bullet Drive]

First time in my life I hope Pakistan lose.

 

[hussain.r97]

Is the worst bowling lineup for Pakistan? Ever?

Shahid Afridi*, Anwar Ali, Sohail Tanvir, Zulfiqar Babar, Mohammad Irfan

Imagine this attack with Gul or Cheema instead of Irfan ) )
Now you're talking

 

[saeedhk]

For Pakistan:

Bowl first,lose match.We are horrible at chasing.

Almost no chance to win this match.

 

[pakistani pride]

Because Asad Shafiq looks good.[/QUOTE

I really hope your joking right?
Shafiq is a timid loser that plays as if it is 1965

 

[hussain.r97]

If they wanted to win, why drop Umar Akmal Fawad should have dropped for this game.

 

[Arsal_AK]

First time in my life I hope Pakistan lose.

You don't need to hope.

We are going to lose.

 

[MRSN]

Anwar.
Tanvir.
Afridi captaining.
No Raza.
Umar Amin.
Akmal dropped.
No Sami.


How can someone get so many things wrong at the same time??

If Shehzad and Sarfraz fail, I predict us to roll out under a 100.

Horrible team. I do hope Aus scores 300+ and these hacks in the middle order are exposed.

 

[Ahson8]

First time in my life I hope Pakistan lose.

Same here. If these guys win they'll probably be persisted with. I hope we're taken to the cleaners today and we can have a total revamp for the NZ series.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Watching this match only for Afridi's captaincy.

 

[Arsal_AK]

Lol at Umar.

Ask him to cry some more about not keeping. )

 

[786warrior]

300+ for Aussies followed by capitulation from Pak - in particular want to see tanvir qurbanied all over the ground by the Aussie bats!!!

 

[JibranAnsari]

Eid for mamoom.. both shafiq and amin playing. Must be ecstatic.

 

[hussain.r97]

I think we literally just handed Australia a whitewash in a golden platter.

 

[akamaka]

To those hoping for a loss, remember CT ? We lost every single game and nothing happened.

 

[bala977]

Here are my predictions assuming Afridi is the stand-in Captain

- Afridi's random bowling changes will work and he will be praised for his shrewdness
- Credit for a bit of increase in the standard of fielding will be given to Afridi's captaincy
- Afridi will sledge and shout at a few players and everyone will go "Wow - look at the aggression"
- If Pakistan wins, everyone will be happy as the root cause of all malaise has been found i.e. Misbah's captaincy. Poor Misbah

 

[Nado_]

Selectors are on some hard drugs im telling ya!! This is the only explanation as to why they chose a bakwas squad, dropping umar akmal? Anwar ali? Tanvir? FFS!!

 

[Arsal_AK]

I think we literally just handed Australia a whitewash in a golden platter.

We have been handing them matches from the first game my friend.

Most of knew we had lost the match at the toss, when the team sheets came up.

 

[saiyan0312]

This is the worst possible XI you can extract from the squad. Australias game to win here

 

[DRS]

Australia to bat. Wanted to see Pakistan bat today
Well, looks like we're chasing. Predictions?

We'll crumble at 170 most likely, given that Amin and an opener fails to perform.

 

[Itachi]

First time in my life I hope Pakistan lose.

let me guess why you want pakistan to lose? cz UA not in the team?

 

[Bullet Drive]

Shafiq shouldn't be playing.

Umar Akmal should.

No need for Irfan to play in a dead rubber.

Why drop Raza after one game?

Anwar Ali & Tanvir are useless bowlers.

Babar is 35+

PAK cricket is going no where.

 

[DrSchultz]

Dean Jones claims batting paradise of a pitch.

 

[Bullet Drive]

let me guess why you want pakistan to lose? cz UA not in the team?

I dont mind Umar not playing.

I mind Sami Aslam not playing

 

[Arsal_AK]

We'll crumble at 170 most likely, given that Amin and an opener fails to perform.

You are make it sound like Amin is the second coming of Lara or something.

When has he ever performed??

 

[786warrior]

To those hoping for a loss, remember CT ? We lost every single game and nothing happened.

We are not hoping for a loss, I personally believe victory/ reward goes to the deserving!!! Pak certainly are not deserving and they need repeated beatdowns and I'm glad it's the Aussies as they will administer a thorough one!!! Enjoy because the PCB, coach and captain have got excellent seats to savour this

 

[Pete Rose]

Usually when Pakistan bat second you can bet on a Pakistan loss for the last 30 years.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Shafiq, Amin, Tanvir & Anwar Ali all in one team

 

[DRS]

First time in my life I hope Pakistan lose.

So do I.





After the series loss, the management could have selected the much awaited kid, Sami Aslam, who have shown talent as well as his average indicates that he could well become a run machine.





It is useless to represent a country that doesn't cherish your talent, instead play their part to ruin you as a player.





Take a bow selectors for clarifying how much of idiots you guys are. Hope you all rot in hell for wasting tax payers money.

 

[Asif321]

pathetic selection instead of akmal it should have been fawad out . and Raza should have been played
very pathetic waqar uncle is seriously rubbish
