Malik missed the trick by not smashing Rashid!

Sarfraz must attack the spinners at least! Smash them!
 
This is what he is actually.
Shehzad is a far better odi batsman than him, which just shows how poor azhar is

Well today he played the type of innings Shehzad plays twice every series, and has done so since 2013, so I will give Azhar some more time to adjust.
 
Feel sorry for Rizwan and Safraz. These two are our main odi players at the momenr and they can play quick match winning knocks and they come in with the game over. Such a shame.
Might aswell send Safraz opening just being wasted at 7.
 
Hope he breaks Henry's 20 assists in a league season record, which he will if Giroud stops shooting blanks. Hopefully Walcott will be back after the international break.

he should get there, has 10 already. Giroud's problem is complacency , as soon as walcott is back he will start scoring.

havent completely lost hope on welbeck either, will never be top drawer but if he can just compose himself he will be that perfect combintation of walcott and giroud that we need
 
Rizwan and Sirfraz will have to rebuild quickly here and keep busy if pakistan are to even have a sniff of getting back into the game.

62/5

Shehzad can atleast clear the infeild when he wants. Azhar is a sitting duck in such situations.
 
Lot of hate against Azhar today, I can see why. But he is still best player we got against seamers in tough conditions. Pakistan don't produce new ball batsmen. Everybody wants to play in the middle. He is out of form, hopefully comes back strong in next few matches.

Ball is swinging and griping in second innings. Its not as easy as earlier, but not as tough as Pakistanis make out it to be
 
Problem is we dont not a single have Kohli, AB, Gayle, Cook, McMillan, Warner, Dilshan type of batsman who can counter attack.
 
Welbeck is totally out of the scene because of his never-healing injury. I still feel he doesn't have AW's backing, the reports that he wanted him on loan rather than buy him permanently have some legs IMO.

Welbeck is neither here nor there, and is stopping us from going all out for quality WF/ST.

I have heard those rumours, Wenger is king at Arsenal so even if his first preference was to loan him he wouldnt have bought him for no reason.

As for a world class centre forward i see little options. Initally i felt that Benzema was a good chance next season when Madrid offload due to Morata's buy back clause coming into affect. Howeever if wenger stopped plans to sign vidal over drunk driving there is no way he would benzema after the blackmail sex tape scandal.


No other top draw striker is out there. Would still like to see him take a punt on the next big thing from South America but i dont see that happening. ( really like vitetto but he isnt an option anymore)
 
I got attacked for saying we were beating on SL and Zim's terrible attacks on flat pitches with no movement and now look.

Our batting is so one dimensional, even if they don't get out to swing they manage to tuk tuk their way to a loss.
 
This has been pakistans 1st real acid test since the world cup and weve been founding with bat today, we need to show improvement from such set backs.
 
just like his selfies? take them whenever he wants

Shehzad has lost us many games

He has. That was not the point though.

His problem is not finding gaps. That can be fixed with some hardwork.

Changing your game completly is another thing. Azhar has no attacking game at all along with his strike rotation problems.


Lets see how Azhar goes vs Eng and the likes. BD, Zim and SL is one thing. I will keep my hopes down though.
 
Azhar is way superior to shehzad as an odi bat. Shehzad plays this innings regularly im afraid.
 
These two will make good partnership in tests with asad moving to number 5 after misbah leaves
 
Rizwan must stop playing excess sweep shots against spinners! It would create more LBW chances!
 
Sarfraz need to take risks now one per over

3 boundaries in 27 overs while chasing 284. Wow :facepalm

And another wicket falls :(
 
The next big challenge for Waqar Younis and the team management is to improve our chasing. Anything over 250 and far too often the game is over.

It is trickier to bat under lights in the UAE, the ball doesn't easily come onto the bat so its harder to time your shots but these meek surrenders time and again is something we must overcome in ODIs if we're to stand a chance in the Champions Trophy and World Cup.
 
Very disappointing from Rizwan. He was struggling to pick Rashid's googly and eventually got out to that particular ball. If he is to be a success in test cricket, he has to improve his game against spin.
 
And Rizwan bowled too - Rashid.

If u don't know what to do, then go the Afridi way!

Rizwan should have attacked Rashid! Its sometimes better to get out while attacking then cheaply!
 
Come on Karachi boys. Please get us to 200 some how and bring some respectability to margin of defeat
 
Thus pakistani commentator is so boring, not bazid or rameez this other dude.
 
What is the questions? how much you can score in 50 overs without extras?

well i guess it should be 36 X 50 = 1800 runs
 
question is. If a batsman make 33 runs per over in 49 overs. And in last over he score 36. the ans is 1653
 
Even Anwar Ali is playing spin better than Rizwan! Rizwan must bat confidently against spin!
 
Such loyal fans, can still here Pakistan Zindabad cheers in the crowd.

This beigharat team doesn't deserve it.
 
The poor crowd have been asleep for so long that they woke up to cheer a double. Can't think of a worse way of spending your day off.
