Pakistan v Bangladesh | Match 43, World Cup | 5th July, 2019 | Lords's | Pakistan innings

[Rayyman]

These guys are clueless. Imad was Pak's best bowler in that series.

 

[Leeon1994]

Please add Azhar Mahmood to the list of Hafeez, Malik, Sarfaraz that we all want to see last of today.

 

[AdamM97]

Pak beat NZ and had a rain match with SL

NZ beat SL and had a rain match with IND

Inspite of all Pak could have qualified but for that one collapse vs WI

And NZ almost lost against WI and BD.

 

[sweep_shot]

I think Pakistan will reach about 315.

 

[MRSN]

Atherton baffled by this strategy of Pakistan for playing to win instead of targeting that run rate.

 

[ARK Rafay]

People realizing Maddy's importance

 

[Fazzy321]

Imad with a first six of the match LOL!

 

[Leeon1994]

First six of our 500 target arrives

 

[Usman Chadda]

This.
Some people dont have a funny bone in their bodies.

Too many posts whining about lack of intent. I mean, this wicket isn't as flat as people are making it out to be.

 

[sweep_shot]

First six from Pakistan.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Can they not open with Imad instead of Imam. He probably will be more damaging in power play.

 

[AdamM97]

People realizing Maddy's importance

Should be our 6th bowler after the WC. Add a proper spinner to the team.

 

[shah_1]

Imad has really worked on his game

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

First six of the innings in 46th over. Wow

 

[RameezRambo_Fan]

Ab kya faida?

 

[Green Patriot]

First

 

[Mueez]

Hafeez, Malik and Sarfraz should retire.

Maybe make Wahab as captain.

Don’t make Babar it will effect his game.

What a shot by Imad though.

 

[ARK Rafay]

18 sixes of the last 3 overs. 400 is still on

 

[sweep_shot]

Wahab is gone. Big wicket.

 

[AdamM97]

18 sixes of the last 3 overs. 400 is still on

I’m still at the crease. -

 

[Mueez]

Wahab gone.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

End of wahab cameo. I hope we will not see wahab again. Husnain ka achaar daal lo. Idiots

 

[AdamM97]

I’m still at the crease. -

Damn....

 

[jnaveen1980]

Looks like some pleasantries exchanged with Wahab. PRobbaly BD knows that is his last world cup match>

 

[Leeon1994]

I’m still at the crease. -

You are good, please jinx India next in the Semi Finals.

 

[AdamM97]

Wahab getting a taste of his own medicine. Yorker.

 

[sweep_shot]

Pakistan are effectively 288-7. Don't think Sarfraz will bat.

 

[TamiL_GarvaM!]

TBH the prof hafeez has got out to some of the most pathetico-dreadful deliveries bowled in the history of the WC...any WC....
and Banglas outfielding and catching have contributed at least 35 so far to pak's total...

 

[Mamoon]

Come out all guns and blazing, and get bowled out for 100 odd? This is not a 350 wicket, forget about 400-500 runs wicket.

Imam had his usual SR issues, but please don't confuse intent with harakiri.

Pakistan cannot score 500 even on a 5,000 pitch. That isn’t the point. I am speaking from the perspective of the folks who are disappointed with the lack of intent (I am not one of them).

The thinking was that since we are out anyway, it doesn’t matter if we win or lose here and we should simply have a wild crack at it. They are the ones who are unhappy with the approach.

 

[Green Patriot]

Too many posts whining about lack of intent. I mean, this wicket isn't as flat as people are making it out to be.

We can already see what happened after they started to accelerate after the 40th over.
Had they tried from the first over we would have been 100 ao and the same fans would have been on top of the team calling it impractical/delusional/stupid.

 

[AdamM97]

You are good, please jinx India next in the Semi Finals.

On it.

 

[MRSN]

Getting bowled out for 100 would not have hurt seening the tuk tuk at snail pace to have a respectful exit. Pathetic mentality. At least show some intent.

 

[Mamoon]

Hopefully Show-off’s last game for Pakistan.

 

[Green Patriot]

Come on.
Take us to 330.

 

[AdamM97]

Hopefully Show-off’s last game for Pakistan.

Been better than a lot of spinners this WC. Not the best though...

 

[QalandarFan]

I think Fakhar will keep. He’s done it before i think.

Babar has also done it before.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Hopefully Show-off’s last game for Pakistan.

Who are you talking about? Imad easily gets into this team for me

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Imad is the future

 

[JibranAnsari]

the so called all rounder gone

 

[Green Patriot]

Who are you talking about? Imad easily gets into this team for me

Show off = Shadab.

 

[MRSN]

Pakistan cannot score 500 even on a 5,000 pitch. That isn’t the point. I am speaking from the perspective of the folks who are disappointed with the lack of intent (I am not one of them).

This game they only want to win to save their careers. Hoping for another Shakib ton to teach these selfish lot lesson.

 

[sweep_shot]

Great catch by Mustafiz.

 

[farazaidi]

Shadab continues to remind the world he is a mediocre player.

 

[AdamM97]

Who are you talking about? Imad easily gets into this team for me

He’s talking about Shadab.

 

[Mueez]

Shadab goes.

 

[Shafi]

Pretend all rounder gone!!!!

 

[Asif321]

Lol shaddy the all rounder
Sarfraz should come bat otherwise we will be allout

 

[sweep_shot]

Pakistan has 2 more wickets. Sarfraz will probably not bat.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Getting bowled out for 100 would not have hurt seening the tuk tuk at snail pace to have a respectful exit. Pathetic mentality. At least show some intent.

Sad way to approach an international game in a World Cup.

Shadab is poor batsman. Zero game awareness

 

[Green Patriot]

For Gods sake give the strike to imad now.

 

[AdamM97]

Imad is our only hope for a 320 now.

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

Shambles, after a 100 and 96 come on man! dont deserve the semi finals

 

[Mamoon]

Who are you talking about? Imad easily gets into this team for me

The captain of the show-off group. Other members are Faheem and Hasan, and they are all heading for the exit door. Faheem is already out.

 

[QalandarFan]

Just give Imad the strike Amir!

 

[TamiL_GarvaM!]

Shaddy and Maddy...what a rhyming comby....
even as i speak...shaddy has to go....whatty cattchy by fizzy.....

 

[Shafi]

Sarfraz needs to retire today if he has any shame!!!!!Totally worthless player.

 

[Leeon1994]

Even Amir is a better batsman than Sarfaraz

 

[farazaidi]

I still cannot get my mind around the fact that Shadab has batted at 6 in ODIs for Pakistan and scored 50 on test match debut. What the hell happened to his batting? clearly not good enough right now

 

[Shafi]

Is 300 enough? The pitch looks nothing to offer.

 

[sweep_shot]

Good shot by Amir.

 

[QalandarFan]

These days Amir looks scared to bat. His 2 50’s in ODI’s were lovely.

 

[Green Patriot]

 

[Mamoon]

PCB has spat over merit and all the hardworking F/C players by making Shadab their main spinner on the back of nothing.

He has been fast-tracked as if he is Wasim Akram. He barely had to toil in domestic cricket. He has even failed in PSL in the last two editions, the tournament that made his sorry career in the first place.

 

[AdamM97]

Even Amir is a better batsman than Sarfaraz

I mean Sarfraz didn’t make the team based on his batting skills, did he? Remember, he’s a ”specialist kaptaan”.

 

[sweep_shot]

Is 300 enough? The pitch looks nothing to offer.

I would say 300 is a par score. Let's see.

 

[chuck]

Wahab "Roy" Riaz gone for a mighty 2 off 4.

 

[Mueez]

Proper cover drive from Amir.

 

[JellyBro]

fourteen sixes from here will add 84 more runs. It's doable. jUst hAve to sHow IntEnt

 

[RameezRambo_Fan]

What a dramebaaz lol.

Kid...I've been watching Pakistan cricket since the 80s. These current lot couldn't hold a candle to the greats we once had.

With the exception of maybe babar and amir, this entire team is an embarrassment.

 

[sweep_shot]

Good over by Mustafiz. 6 runs and a wicket.

 

[Leeon1994]

Can Bangladesh's batting score + Pakistan's batting score equal 500 today?

 

[Greenstorm]

I still cannot get my mind around the fact that Shadab has batted at 6 in ODIs for Pakistan and scored 50 on test match debut. What the hell happened to his batting? clearly not good enough right now

Than he became starboy . Even his fitness has gone down.

 

[Mamoon]

Looks like our misery will officially end in the first 3-4 overs of the Bangladesh innings.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Kid...I've been watching Pakistan cricket since the 80s. These current lot couldn't hold a candle to the greats we once had.

With the exception of maybe babar and amir, this entire team is an embarrassment.

I would add Imad. Despite his short ball weaknesses, he never fails to show intent.

 

[chuck]

Mohammad "Butler" Amir is on now.

 

[farazaidi]

PCB has spat over merit and all the hardworking F/C players by making Shadab their main spinner on the back of nothing.

He has been fast-tracked as if he is Wasim Akram. He barely had to toil in domestic cricket. He has even failed in PSL in the last two editions, the tournament that made his sorry career in the first place.

have to agree with you here. We've fast tracked 2 players from PSL, Hasan & Shadab. Both are undercooked

Fakhar atleast has some domestic performances under his belt

 

[RameezRambo_Fan]

These days Amir looks scared to bat. His 2 50’s in ODI’s were lovely.

He's not a batsman. It shouldn't be the bowlers responsibility to do the batsman job.

 

[uberkoen]

okay uncle jee

 

[Leeon1994]

Imad is the only fearless Pakistani batsman.

Maybe, i’m just 22. The point is that you’re overreacting, we’re doing okay.
