Pakistan v England | 2nd T20I | Dubai | 25/2/12 | Pakistan Innings

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

Bit of a poor knock there by Zia.

Misbah in, insha'Allah these two can put a decent partnership.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pak 32/4

Once again the captain has to rescue the team.

 

[Phool]

Awais ka to noshta e dewaar tha jaise woh gul khila rahe the!

 

[hamzamunir]

someone tell Misbah run rate is 16 per over, so he'll try to get 8 an over.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan will lose this.

 

[zid60]

Someone needs to tell Dernbach to stop kicking the ball.

 

[chui_kadoo]

Imran Nazir is better than this guy

million times better. He can play strokes all around the ground

 

[DOOSRA95]

Pakistan are joke when chasing what a rubbish batting line up wow, TUKTUK IN.

 

[Watsupdoc]

Misbah and Malik to save the day again.

 

[iafzal]

I think this innings has set Zia to sit out of the team for next 3 years

 

[Equinox]

This guy literally has no off-side game. Leg-side slogger.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Skipper off the mark

Pak 33/4 after 6 overs.

 

[Sledger]

Swann on, game will be tough now. 4 wicket already gone.

 

[90MPH]

Zia has been exposed already.

Very limited player.

 

[RehanG]

Goodbye Zia. Knowing Misbah, we wont be seeing you again.

so what u saw in last match and TODAY u want to see this crap again?

a big big sloger on his days he will git 50+ but against good bowlers he wont get past 10..

 

[Borg]

Typical pp hype , amounts to nothing

 

[chui_kadoo]

:iamlegend is a million times better than Zia so please dont compare Nazir to him

 

[AnotherIndian]

Zia seems to be a Leg-side only player...

Once Broad started bowling on off-side, he was found out..

 

[Afridirocks]

Misbah and Malik to save the day again.

again? LOL

 

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

Still have Afridi and Azam to come in.

 

[tauseefm]

As you get older you tend to call things as they are.

Nope, as you get older you tend to think whatever is coming out of your mouth is right.

 

[Atif]

We may get to see Hammad bat today...

 

[Amjid Javed]

Hussain poking fun at aamer sohail in regards to the young pakistan batting

 

[iafzal]

Guys on a positive side you will get your wish for Hammad to bat after all

 

[musaarthali]

Yes Malik should be talking to him, it's only his second game.

Last match people commenting Zia got out because Hafeez talking to him

 

[saeed-sohail]

Pakistan are joke when chasing what a rubbish batting line up wow, TUKTUK IN.

These are the young guns ppl wanted.

 

[CalculatedRisk]

It's not impossible guys. Just need one big dominating partnership, Too bad we have brainless batsmen like Hafeez and Zia and impotent ones like Shafiq

 

[RAZZAQ-FAN]

Unreal batting there from Zia

Don't know what to make of it to be honest

 

[Sledger]

If Pakistan lose the media should have another field day, just to troll Misbah.

 

[chui_kadoo]

Zia has only a limited number of strokes

 

[Watsupdoc]

Tuk tuk needs stabilize the ship.

 

[mohimran]

Match was lost when england was 50 for 3, if there was any chance of winning it was then

 

[PB]

again? LOL

It was cause of them we won the last match...Not your boy Afridi..

 

[Inswinger]

These are the young guns ppl wanted.

What did the "legends" accomplish? At least the young guns have room for improvement.

 

[saeed-sohail]

Nope, as you get older you tend to think whatever is coming out of your mouth is right.

Lol, that might be the case then.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan struggling here

 

[DOOSRA95]

5.5


Broad to Awais Zia, OUT, holes out to mid-off - that, thankfully, puts Zia out of his misery. That was a shocking innings, really gruelling to watch as Zia tried to force slog after slog. He finally got bat on ball but only succeeded in dolly-ing it to the fielder

 

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

Nice sht by Malik, 1.

 

[zahid02]

Afridi should open the inning

 

[chui_kadoo]

Afridi needs to come to the party

 

[iZeeshan]

Can we still win this?

 

[Watsupdoc]

Zia looks like Sohail Tanvir. I mean with his batting style.

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

116 from 80. It seem impossible to me.

 

[CalculatedRisk]

Misbah knows out batting lineup. that is why he insisted on Malik. Malik does not have much ability but he at least has a good head

 

[Phool]

If Pakistan lose the media should have another field day, just to troll Misbah.

 

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

Misbah knocks down the ground, 1.

 

[Lightning]

Imran Nazir and Ahmed Shahzad should be in the twenty20 side. Zia looks a hack. Can't play on the offside to save his life. No singles either.

 

[Justcrazy]

The problem is that every Pakistan youngster is exposed against quality teams while chasing.

 

[Iffitheking]

Allah kare yeah Jodi hamesha salamat rahe... tonight we will know if these two batsman worth it or not... because after last match... Misbah was talking like he was the best batsman... and captain in the world... now do it misbah... and shoiab or else get out of the team...

 

[Sledger]

Good play, keep rotating strike and set it up. Still a lot of balls to face.

 

[Maher96]

Need another partnership from malik n misbah.

 

[Inswinger]

Plz don't insult shazaib by comparing him to zia.

All after 2 innings, eh?

 

[deviously~fading~away]

This match is out of our hands barring an Afridi special I'm afraid

Another match where Pakistan are looking at afridi to save them.

 

[Cryin Out Loud]

Unless this was a one-off shocker, or he can bolster his technique quickly (not possible given what I saw, IMO), Zia doesn't seem to have it. Embarrassing innings.

 

[Amjid Javed]

pak 37/4 after 7 overs.

 

[Sledger]

Bopara to bowl.

 

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

37-4-7.

Bopara on.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan require another 114 runs with 6 wickets and 13.0 overs remaining



Just go for it.

 

[adilmomin]

They need boundaries as well. Run rate is about to reach 10 in another 1-2 overs. Going 10 an over for 10 overs is IMPOSSIBLE

 

[saeed-sohail]

What did the "legends" accomplish? At least the young guns have room for improvement.

They won a world cup and runners up in the other. My point is not related to YK it's more to do with Misbah. Poor guy sticks it out and still get slaughtered here.

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

can we still win this?

n-0

 

[Sledger]

Malik gets a couple.

 

[Badsha]

Prove me wrong Malik

 

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

Nicely flicked by Malik,3.

These English fielders are like terminators.

 

[Sunny786]

Malik knows the importance of strike rotation

 

[Sledger]

England's fielding already adding to their target. Excellent work.

 

[Hamxa89]

Amir Sohail's commentary is worse than our batting The guy manages to bore the hell out even in T20's

 

[saeed-sohail]

All after 2 innings, eh?

Yes. Not a single proper shot.

 

[Badsha]

n-0

Not over till the last ball is bowled. It's this mentality our team has which causes so many loses.

 

[Justcrazy]

needs to be a beast today to win this.

 

[Inswinger]

They won a world cup and runners up in the other. My point is not related to YK it's more to do with Misbah. Poor guy sticks it out and still get slaughtered here.

Are we talking about 4 years ago or the present? Might as well recall Imran and Wasim too then.

 

[cricketpassion]

109 off 76 required

 

[CalculatedRisk]

Misbah and Malik only 2 players in the lineup with some sense. Unfortunately they might not have the talent for an assault

 

[chui_kadoo]

run rate required almost 9

 

[Foozee]

awais zia is crappp

 

[Hamxa89]

Misbah's classy chops )

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

Talent us ko kehtay hain jo dimag aistamal kerta ho

 

[chui_kadoo]

Misbah just tukking away

 

[Hamxa89]

Hahahahah! Mibahhhhh )

 

[AZulfi]

Why do we produce so many batting brain farts in Pakistan? hit or miss players intent only on smacking the ball instead of playing every ball on merit

Imran Nazir
Shahzaib
Naser Jamshed
Afridi
Umar Akmal

Add Awais Zia's name already to that list
