Pakistan v England | 4th ODI | DSC | 21/02/12 | Pakistan Innings

[Amoeba]

Aamir Sohail overrating Bresnan there.

Average of 37 and Economy of 5.3.

Enuff said.

Not really...probably basing it on his test performances where he averages 45 with the bat and 23 with the ball!

Only a matter of time before his stats in odis start going in the right direction very drastically.....

 

[ares1000]

Why would anyone question AA's role?

 

[Shayan]

Really hoping these two get big scores.

 

[Pak_Jazba]

I don't care what anyone says but i think that Azhar Ali should be a permanent fixture in ODI.

We are looking towards him as a future cornerstone of our test batting line-up therefore he can be the one to play a similar role in ODIs but as an opener. Surely if he is coming in at number 3 in test he has the technique, and it will add a new dimension to his batting which will increase his scoring rate in Tests.

Because Azhar Ali is the future, he should be a permanent in the ODI team.

Same goes for Shafiq.

Agree 100%

 

[anakwalajinn]

WHAT was that from ali?

 

[imshally81]

2 runs

 

[HaMmy FinE LeG StriKeR]

Ali nearly got asad out

 

[Pak_Jazba]

Poor stuff from Shafiq there.

 

[anakwalajinn]

does rameez ever now how to compliment Pakistan. i will post on his twitter and rinse him.

also ask him to find out why mmad is not playing

 

[imshally81]

r

 

[ares1000]

sabardast shot!

 

[qamar84]

brilliant stuf by azhar

 

[Pak_Jazba]

Shot by Shafiq. Only for two.

 

[Asif321]

Muhammad yousaf

Afridi captained only in last game.

Yea sorry Yousuf and saleem yousuf in 1987

 

[deviously~fading~away]

Pakistan's over reliance on spin makes me puke! Even India pick more fast bowlers than us.

 

[saeed-sohail]

Azhar Ali kya Kha key aaya hai?

 

[Vegitto1]

WHAT was that from ali?

A good single. Shafiq was ball-watching.

 

[James]

Bloody hell Tim, this is awful, sort yourself out

I agree with you. Better to give a players with good temperment and skill an extended run than the the tried and tested failures of before (bang-bang- out!)

 

[anakwalajinn]

not sure what to say about the way is playing... down the track and all

 

[ninjafirstslip]

azhar!

 

[anakwalajinn]

A good single. Shafiq was ball-watching.

a bit funny as he came down the track and then jumped and was in the air while playing that shot

 

[qamar84]

that's what a batsmen should do hit a boundarie and take a single to rotate the strike

 

[Amoeba]

Bresan a little hurt! What the hell does that mean? !!!!
A Raja ism which has never made any sense to me

Soon he will be dented as well

 

[Xoib]

Azhar looks so ungainly while attacking.

 

[Pak_Jazba]

Excellent running. Pakistan 46/1 after 10 overs.

Now where are the people who were questioning these two being out there in the middle and saying 50 will be scored after 3 days.

 

[James]

finn is a one trick pony

Quoted for idiocy

 

[Vegitto1]

Azhar Ali - Champion.

Get a decent coach and get that problem outside off sorted out. even Cook has a problem and the ECB hired Gooch simply for him

 

[NeVerMind]

So run-rate of 4.6 between the tuks tuks...will take that everyday plus most importantly these players are learning (and improving all the time as shown in the test series)...

 

[anakwalajinn]

a bit slow start to this partnerhsip, but going well now have to go out in 30 min hope to see them keep going until I am back

insha Allah 100 from both!

 

[saeed-sohail]

Bloody hell Tim, this is awful, sort yourself out

Don't worry! Let us put a score on the board I want to see Butler bat.

 

[Xoib]

Azhar Ali kya Kha key aaya hai?

one of the most mentally determined cricketers in the world would not surprise me if he converts himself in to a quality odi bat.

 

[Pak_Jazba]

I hope we dont make Briggs look like Murali out there.

 

[Vegitto1]

Bresan a little hurt! What the hell does that mean? !!!!
A Raja ism which has never made any sense to me

Soon he will be dented as well

and then when he taken out of the attack

Bresnan has been scraped after being hurt, dented and being written off by his Captain.

 

[ninjafirstslip]

que lullooo bowlers thread......

 

[Asif321]

briggs is a good frnd of afridi ...

 

[saeed-sohail]

Briggs is a quality one day bowler.

 

[Vegitto1]

a bit funny as he came down the track and then jumped and was in the air while playing that shot

I kno. he was doing a hyden but the ball got big on him lol. Still a run was on.

 

[Pak_Jazba]

Good line bowling by Briggs.

 

[ninjafirstslip]

Don't worry! Let us put a score on the board I want to see Butler bat.

...kind of excited to see him as well. Could have been better seeing Azam as well though

 

[chui_kadoo]

Good partnership thus far at a good rate.

 

[ares1000]

He has huge potential...

 

[saeed-sohail]

one of the most mentally determined cricketers in the world would not surprise me if he converts himself in to a quality odi bat.

I hope he scores big here. Need to get rid of Farhat.

 

[saeed-sohail]

Wide??

 

[Amoeba]

and then when he taken out of the attack

Bresnan has been scraped after being hurt, dented and being written off by his Captain.

or maybe he will comeback strongly and become a smart operator......

 

[saeed-sohail]

...kind of excited to see him as well. Could have been better seeing Azam as well though

Dont get me angry man. His non selection makes my blood boil.

 

[Pak_Jazba]

I hope he scores big here. Need to get rid of Farhat.

Farhat won't go so easily. Remember, he wasn't dropped today. He Just had fever.

 

[osee_bhai]

Good job by these two so far.

 

[chui_kadoo]

50 partnership up. Well done

 

[usmiunique]

50 partnership between these 2!!

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

pak need to target dernbach and bresnan

 

[Xoib]

I hope he scores big here. Need to get rid of Farhat.

he will inshallah.

Both Azhar and Asad along with Kohli and Bravo among the 4 young batsman in the world infact out batting future looks quite good.

 

[James]

Bresnan looks very rusty, maybe not his fault, but I don't want to be subjected to ten overs of this guff.

 

[saeed-sohail]

or maybe he will comeback strongly and become a smart operator......

Don't pick on smooth operator. Only man to be dropped after scoring a world cup hundred.

 

[Phool]

Pak 54/1(12.0)

 

[ninjafirstslip]

Bresnan looks very rusty, maybe not his fault, but I don't want to be subjected to ten overs of this guff.

Bresnan has been below par today....but ENG set very high standards...

 

[NeVerMind]

Bresnan looks very rusty, maybe not his fault, but I don't want to be subjected to ten overs of this guff.

He is rusty and considering Bresnan will be required in the T20 series, it is good he gets some match practice in a dead rubbber...

 

[Asif321]

Good going boys !

 

[saeed-sohail]

44444.

 

[Pak_Jazba]

by Azhar

 

[ares1000]

beautiful shot by AA.

Our next ODI is in the Asia Cup, so we need to sort our line up out.

 

[ninjafirstslip]

azhar looking the part

 

[Asif321]

look how good top order can perform without damaad

 

[ares1000]

second biggest concern is our pacers.

In AC, Gul and Junaid to play?

Maybe Razzaq back?

 

[NeVerMind]

The two As are new opening pair? Hope so...

 

[Phool]

59/1(13.0)

 

[Pak_Jazba]

Pieterson in to bowl

 

[NeVerMind]

KP having a bowl...please don't give him a wicket. wickets at the wrong time has been our downfall...

 

[James]

Briggs looks handy.

Broad will be missed at the death.

 

[Vegitto1]

The two As are new opening pair? Hope so...

I don't know, I feel we need to have a wicket-keeper batsman opening with Azhar Ali. A Wicket-keeper bat who can hit big to give us a boost at the start of the innings and then Asad Shafique at 1 down.

 

[Phool]

good common sense by ali

 

[Phool]

asad 33
ali 24

 

[mohimran]

look how good top order can perform without damaad

Your gonna upset the professor as well

 

[Phool]

Pak 63/1(14.0)

 

[NeVerMind]

I don't know, I feel we need to have a wicket-keeper batsman opening with Azhar Ali. A Wicket-keeper bat who can hit big to give us a boost at the start of the innings and then Asad Shafique at 1 down.

I rather not experiment much as we have in the past and it has not worked out. Rather give two players that have decent temperment and skills an extended run as these two have proven that the longer run they are given, they are improving...

 

[Phool]

Asad ne cut stroke khaila lekin koi run nahin

 

[mohimran]

I rather not experiment much as we have in the past and it has not worked out. Rather give two players that have decent temperment and skills an extended run as these two have proven that the longer run they are given, they are improving...

This works for me, lets have these two open. According to a lot of people here they dont even deserve a place in the playing 11

 

[Amjid Javed]

Good solid batting here by pakistan, need make sure we keep picking up singles and putting bad balls away for 4.

Both batsmen well set so no excuses for throwing it away here

66/1

 

[Pak_Jazba]

Azhar playing the scoop and
