Pakistan v Australia | Only T20I | 5 April, 2022 | Lahore | Pakistan innings

[silentkiller187]

No need from fakhar should have had a look in first few balls

 

[Rana]

such an ugly dismissal by such a ugly hacker. richly deserved. Maybe [MENTION=2016]Rana[/MENTION] will have the last laugh about Rizz.

I have watched Pakistan cricket and all other teams closely for nearly 2 decades

I live and breathe cricket

I have nothing personal against any player but I know when I am right. And I know exactly what Rizwan stands for and the purpose he serves to pakistan

He’s a lovely person, but the agenda behind him and the people using him have a lot of answering to do!

 

[PakPremi]

Looked like a drama queen today, Rizwan.

How he was injured?

 

[Sunzi]

No need from fakhar should have had a look in first few balls

It was there to be hit TBF.

 

[Rana]

Awful from Rizwan, he's lucky that Pakistan don't have anyone to replace him.

Mohammad Haris is better than him

Not a better keeper than him but a better Batsman already

 

[Saj]

Stupid shot from Fakhar.

No need to play such a shot from your first ball.

 

[PakPremi]

Babar's initial 12 runs off 13 balls wipl decide this match.

No they do not. Even in T20 over game plenty of time to strike big in next overs. Babar is playing a masterful inning,but unfortunately Pak batting line up finishes at 3.

 

[Ashmal]

Stupid shot from Fakhar.

No need to play such a shot from your first ball.

Seemed to be in a hurry

 

[Rana]

1 down at the end of the powerplay

That’s when you need a batsman like Babar to come in, not a Hunter/Striker like Fakhar who wants to attack as soon as he can

Babar should be at no.3

 

[Ashmal]

Babar needs to bat through now

 

[silentkiller187]

Babar is doing fine, its the rest that are letting us down at the moment, lets see if we can weather the storm and finish strongly

 

[PakPremi]

How he was injured?

Pulled something on his legs, was rubbi ng his legs and struggling in running.

 

[Rana]

Very good by Babar today

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Why is chacha sent 2 down? Hell, why is chacha even in the team?

 

[silentkiller187]

50 up for Babar at a good rate aswell

 

[Forum363]

Mohammad Haris is better than him

Not a better keeper than him but a better Batsman already

Statements like this is why no one takes you seriously.

On what basis is Haris a better batter than Rizwan? The same Rizwan who destroyed India and got that test hundred against Australia a couple of weeks ago.

 

[Rana]

Why is chacha sent 2 down? Hell, why is chacha even in the team?

Nawaz should be out no.4

He is such a class player.

Pakistan underrate him too much

 

[Markhor]

Good test for our middle order. No need for our top order to hog the innings again in an inconsequential T20.

Need to see what the others can do.

 

[MRSN]

Rizwan is very limited in his skills eve though he has won the ICC award. Baber looked like on a complete different planet batting with Rizwan. Amazing difference of skills.

 

[imshally81]

We are missing Malik & Hafeez in the middle...

 

[Rana]

Statements like this is why no one takes you seriously.

Watch them play. Watch them bat closely and see who is capable of what.

Study them, not just the stats

If no one takes me seriously then why do you even respond in the first place? Truth hurts ?

 

[Rana]

Today I am happy with Babar because he is batting outside of his comfort zone

He has hacked a few shots which is unlike him, but it’s clear that he wants to bat faster today!

 

[imshally81]

Clever shot by Iftikhar... 4 runs

 

[Waleed93]

Another day, another batting lesson from the best batsman in the world.

 

[NeVerMind]

We are missing Malik & Hafeez in the middle...

Don't fear, Chacha is here...hits the first boundary...need to keep going

 

[Ashmal]

Good test for Ifti, Khushdil, Asif....let's see how they go

 

[Rana]

This Ellis guy needs to be sent

Gun barrow straight and he’s bowling in the slot

 

[PakPremi]

All I say thank goodness for Rizwan otherwise we have no one to score runs consistently at good rate too, other than Babar of course.

 

[Rana]

Come on Babar 2 sixes in this over please!!

 

[Markhor]

How do these KIA batsmen (Khushdil, Iftikhar, Asif) get slected again and again without any perfmances. Andy why Dhani not get a game over out of form Hasan Ali.

KIA - great people to bat with

 

[Rana]

All I say thank goodness for Rizwan otherwise we have no one to score runs consistently at good rate too, other than Babar of course.

What a sad state of affairs I must say
[MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] was right all along

 

[silentkiller187]

Century is there for the taking for Babar, 1 in each format would be a good series for him.

 

[NeVerMind]

Why is Chacha only aiming to take singles?

 

[PakPremi]

KIA - great people to bat with

But not that good to drive with.

 

[Rana]

Come on Babar this is easy bowling launch them!!

 

[silentkiller187]

Chacha gone

 

[imshally81]

Ifti gone

 

[NeVerMind]

Chacha flops again...was not trying to do anything

 

[Slim]

Ifthikar is garbage

 

[Rana]

Chacha useless

He can’t say Pakistan have not given him enough opportunity!

 

[Nasty Naz]

Mohammad Haris is better than him

Not a better keeper than him but a better Batsman already

Please stop with your clown posts.

 

[NeVerMind]

And we couldn't fit a Shaan Masood for this garbage?

 

[PakPremi]

What a sad state of affairs I must say

[MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] was right all along

Well there is a reason for that not the one Mamoon is claiming "no talent", its because deserving players are not given proper chances yet KIA type players are played again and again.

 

[Sherlock]

Ifthikar is is biggest bottler there is.

Man is the most overrated player in the system.

 

[Kroll]

Useless Iftikhar is out, surprise surprise.

 

[Rana]

Khushdil’s innings prediction:

20 off 15 with one boundary

And then a 6….and then out

 

[Ashmal]

Time to move on from Iftikhar....get Haider in

 

[silentkiller187]

Looks like a crawl to 160/170 from here, fear Babar may now go into his shell

 

[NeVerMind]

It's the battle of the relu kattas...Chacha gone so between Happy Heart and Asif Ali

 

[Slim]

Khushdil who is even worse comes on strike. We have two passangers in Khushdil and Ifthikar. Hope Khushdil proves me wrong today tho.

 

[Rana]

Well there is a reason for that not the one Mamoon is claiming no talent.its because dederving players are not given proper chances yet KIA type players are played again and again.

Asif is Gun

Khushdil will come through eventually but not sure if Pakistan will be patient

Chacha’s time is up. Shadab is a superior player in all aspects than he is

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Chacha is the most useless player. I can't believe we keep sticking with him. With Mohd. Wasim at#7, we have a very long tail.

 

[NeVerMind]

Making Travis Head look like a world class bowler

 

[Rana]

Time to move on from Iftikhar....get Haider in

If Chacha is the extra bowling option,

I think it has to be Nawaz that replaces him as soon as he is back

 

[Faizan001]

Even though I do not rate Khushdil, somehow I feel he will make me sign an apology form for him today.

 

[MHN1293]

When will pakistans long search for a good t20 middle order batsmen end

 

[NeVerMind]

Asif is Gun

Khushdil will come through eventually but not sure if Pakistan will be patient

Chacha’s time is up. Shadab is a superior player in all aspects than he is

Even Imad Wasim better than him

 

[Kroll]

Khushdil who is even worse comes on strike. We have two passangers in Khushdil and Ifthikar. Hope Khushdil proves me wrong today tho.

I'll go out on a limb here and say I think Khushdil's on the way up. I can feel the energy.

 

[Nasty Naz]

Khushdil honestly never inspires confidence when he comes in to be honest.

 

[Markhor]

In that 2019 T20 series vs Australia, Iftikhar was one of our best performers.

Since then his form has nosedived - 12 T20Is averaging 17 at SR of 123.

 

[MenInG]

And now we see why we need Riz and BA to set themselves up properly at the top - this is what happens when they dont.

Better to have them there till 12 over for the other "big" hitters come and do their magic

 

[Waleed93]

We can't go into the WT20I with this batting line up.

They are way too reliant on the top order, a similar case to India's CT 2017 campaign. Not everyday Babar, Rizwan and Fakhar will bail us out.

The middle order is an absolute shocker who would fail the first game in which the top 3 doesn't fire.

 

[Faizan001]

I'll go out on a limb here and say I think Khushdil's on the way up. I can feel the energy.

Me too. Not his biggest fan but it somehow feel his day today

 

[MHN1293]

And now we see why we need Riz and BA to set themselves up properly at the top - this is what happens when they dont.

Yes this format worked great in the t20 World Cup.

 

[imshally81]

We lost the plot here..

 

[Zaz]

This is why you shouldnt have such a long tail

Pakistan not going hard becasuse their batting finishes at 6

 

[Ashmal]

If Chacha is the extra bowling option,

I think it has to be Nawaz that replaces him as soon as he is back

Nawaz should be in for Md Wasim.

Batting is too thin...need to get another batsman such as Haider/Haris

 

[PakPremi]

Asif is Gun

Khushdil will come through eventually but not sure if Pakistan will be patient

Chacha’s time is up. Shadab is a superior player in all aspects than he is

Please Asif Ali with 100 chances is still clueless. If its his day and the bowling in his arc he can just tonk few 6s,otherwise just waft in air. Not fan of Khushdil either. Even in T20s you need proper batsmen not sloggers.

 

[Jazx]

Tail starting from number 7 and ifti and khushdil among main batsmans, really thin batting lineup today.

 

[PakPremi]

This is why you shouldnt have such a long tail

Pakistan not going hard becasuse their batting finishes at 6

In this team it finished at 3.

 

[adzzy786]

1 down at the end of the powerplay

That’s when you need a batsman like Babar to come in, not a Hunter/Striker like Fakhar who wants to attack as soon as he can

Babar should be at no.3

According to you Babar shouldn’t be in the team

 

[MHN1293]

Need to get one of the all rounders nawaz shadab faheem or imad in this lineup.

 

[Rana]

Please stop with your clown posts.

Or what? I will say whatever I feel and the mods will delete it if it’s out of line.

Burn! Rizwan is not as good as his fans make him out to be. This is a truth and I could care less about what you think!

 

[Villager6964]

Man this khushdil is so so poor.
Look at his technique. His feets don't even move a millimetre.

 

[Ashmal]

And now we see why we need Riz and BA to set themselves up properly at the top - this is what happens when they dont.

Better to have them there till 12 over for the other "big" hitters come and do their magic

This...the middle order is non-existent

 

[Omer2002]

This team is awful simple as..aussies bat so deep have no chance i am afraid

 

[Rana]

According to you Babar shouldn’t be in the team

Not the rubbish Babar we saw in the PSL, that was the product of a sustained period of comfort zone batting!

 

[Kroll]

Come on Khushy, time to land some in the stand!

 

[Justcrazy]

106 . 3

35 balls left

 

[adzzy786]

Or what? I will say whatever I feel and the mods will delete it if it’s out of line.

Burn! Rizwan is not as good as his fans make him out to be. This is a truth and I could care less about what you think!

According to you the number 1 and 2 ranked batsmen in the world shouldn’t be in the team. Yet they should be replaced by over grown cheat Sharjeel Khan and over weight bad attitude million chances never comes through Umar Akmal.

Your logic is clueless
