This wicket is getting turn. I miss the good old days of Ajmal, Hafeez and good Afridi.
 
Azhar says in every talk how they are changing their approach and all but its only words. Nothings being done. Getting rid of shehzad seemed like the only solution to them

Not only for team managament but for around almost everyone on PP as well. It felt like the people would prefer shehzad to not play than the team to win. Well, we are now enjoying the fruits of such success.
 
Even if we get a 16 year old Warne prodigy, PP'ers will sit around like sari hui aunties pick pointing his flaws based on the first 5 overs they've seen him bowl...

You talk about Shehzad like he is some sort of an ATG.
 
Zafar is a top top talent. Plus has the potential to become a decent bowling AR.

Cant fault the opening stand in this game tbh. The problem was the run out and that little hafeez innings which was an absolute shocker
 
Lagta hai wuo early catch drops are going to hurt PAK. Still, Morgan 'll have to win this.
 
It may sound hurtful but issue is much larger here, tbh none of your batsmen really have the talent or what you say 'cricketing smarts' to become a successful odi team.
Your bowling is alright and death bowling is superb but when it comes to batting the cupboard is bare.

You have to learn to bat in odis , the art of rotating strike isnt all about talent. Babar azam is a good find but every once in a while he likes to take unnecessary risks and some never want to rotate strike and hit big.
 
Need to take two more in next five overs

Azhar was striking at 60 odd. His SR was even less at the start; 50 for his first 20 runs.

True, no fault at all.

How dare you? Dot ball percentages and SR argument is only to be used for shehzad. No one else.


Hahaha and they just missed a catch. That shout made me laugh. :)))
 
Azhar vs Shehzad is a no contest. Shehzad has lower sr and lower average. Its an easy choice to make.
 
We need 1 more wicket here and game is probably on but if we let them go it'll be a cruisy win.

That requires batting intelligence and a culture has to be built around for your batsmen to acquire that intelligence. Most of these guys have played tape ball cricket before fc cricket
And everyone knows that tape ball cricket is a massive slog-fest as far as batting is concerned. These batsmen only learn to slog the ball in their formative years instead of looking for deft singles. Same continues in fc cricket which spills over to international cricket as well.
 
Even if you did win the series against England, it isn't a big deal. England are not a top ODI side and average at best.
 
PAK must not use Anwar any further in this match - 20 overs between spinners + Irfan, Wahab. I still think it's 51-49 APK, but must field well.
 
Need to take out Morgan asap
