Pakistan v Ireland | 2015 World Cup | Group B | Match 42 | 15th March, 2015 | Adelaide | Pak Innings

[Fire Bird]

Sarafaraz with the helmet on looks like No-hit Sharma

 

[saadibaba]

I think Shehzad's pressure getting on Sarfraz now.

 

[Watsupdoc]

Ramiz has no idea as to what he's talking about

 

[Big Mac]

Well I guess we are going to chase this the hard way then.

Chasing with 10 wickets in hand is the opposite of the hard way.

 

[Canistani Hero]

More of this Shehzad..how hard is it to keep the scoreboard ticking?

 

[waleed88]

Rameez is so annoying as a commentator.

Talks out of his a@#

 

[mudassir84]

I think they need to see off the new ball. Run rate not an issue. Calm down PPers.

 

[nads_rocks]

17-0 in 5 against the Irish? Not good enough

 

[FreeBird]

This is just plain cowardice.

 

[Canistani Hero]

I wonder if Ramiz ever knows what comes out of his mouth..or is it just improv?

 

[Big Mac]

So Ramiz, are you going to cuss out Sarfraz now that his strike rate is lower than Shezhad?

What a waste of space.

 

[saadibaba]

Rambo hates Shehzad for tuktuking while he was the King of it himself....Oh the irony!

 

[Sam18696]

Please throw Ramiz out of the commie box.

 

[waleed88]

I've been hearing this nonsense from Rameez since I was a kid.

Every dot ball and Rameez starts talking about the pressure on the side.

 

[Canistani Hero]

good start no worries..no pressure..no tension..no need to gift wickets..just keep scoreboard ticking

 

[Logical]

Chasing with 10 wickets in hand is the opposite of the hard way.

You dont value strike rate at all do you

 

[habibi hayya]

Calm down ppers. Haven't you learned that it's all a out conserving wickets.

They should look at 40ish runs from first 10.

 

[mudassir84]

Shut up rameez.

 

[waleed88]

Rameez's theory Misbah makes batsmen plays slowly.

 

[Classyshot]

I wonder if Ramiz ever knows what comes out of his mouth..or is it just improv?

All he do is talk talk and talk.

 

[Sam18696]

Sir is struggling

 

[Arsal_AK]

Shehzhad will not get such bad balls from the stronger oppositions.

He needs to stop dead batting and try to rotate the strike, rather than putting pressure on himself and his partner.

He is not dead batting rather finding the feilders.

One metre either side and he would have had three boundaries more by now.


The problem he has is that in between those shots he doesnt look for singles. Plays with hard hands and hence the pathetic strike rotation.

 

[Canistani Hero]

They need to have a worst commentator at WC2015 vote..I think Ramiz will pip Sanjay with ease. Such an infuriating man.

 

[Justcrazy]

Wickets in hand is key , but need to keep rotating the strike as well

 

[Big Mac]

I wonder if Ramiz ever knows what comes out of his mouth..or is it just improv?

He would be at home on this forum, everything is a knee-jerk reaction with no thought or logic behind it. He flip flops constantly depending on what his co-commentator is saying.

He is OK when he is talking about the team in between games and whatnot but when he is doing live commentary he is the absolute worst. The fact that he keeps getting hired is an indictment on the state of modern TV commentary.

 

[nads_rocks]

Chasing with 10 wickets in hand is the opposite of the hard way.

If the team does not take advantage of the first 10 overs then yes it creates undue pressure whatever total is being chased. These players should be taking the bowlers to the cleaners so pressure calls on Ireland and not Pakistan. You give tight overs to Ireland bowlers and it will not be a comfortable win or chase for Pakistan. Look at the bigger picture. If we are to face Australia then getting comfortable in the first 10 overs with the scoreboard ticking is the key because Starc and Johnson and co will come at Pakistan hard the way they are bowling. If Shahzad is unable to take singles off these medium paced bowlers then what chance to we have against Australia whether we bat 1st or chase?

 

[Big Mac]

You dont value strike rate at all do you

I value winning more.

 

[waleed88]

Common sense from Rameez. Everyone knows what is going. I can feel the irritation while watching when Ramiz talks.

 

[mudassir84]

Now rameez saying batsman should get his eye in.

 

[saadibaba]

Heaven pitch per Afridi being treated by our openers as hell.

 

[Arsal_AK]

Sarfraz too is 6 off 16.

 

[axl100mph]

You dont value strike rate at all do you

Well, he is a misbah f@n

 

[Pete Rose]

Sarfaraz a bit troubled by the incoming delivery.

 

[Convict]

What pressure?

0/22 from 6 is perfectly fine

 

[Canistani Hero]

How do Ireland not have a proper pace bowler? Even UAE's Naveed bowled at close to 137-140

 

[Shafi]

Looks like two associate teams are playing

 

[nads_rocks]

Dare I say it, I rather Shahzad get out and Sohail come in to bat with Safraz.

 

[Pete Rose]

Heaven pitch per Afridi being treated by our openers as hell.

Not sure if we should lisent to Afridi about batting related issues.
Maybe he was trying to give the openers some confidence

 

[saadibaba]

All of a sudden Ramiz thinks everything is hunky dory.

 

[Firebreaker]

I think there should be police on Saturday in Wellington because WI are going to be gang***** by New Zealand

 

[zabalestmsm]

Now i know they all are medium pacers!

 

[Arsal_AK]

See the difference now??

He is looking for gaps and playing with soft hands; hence the singles are coming.

 

[Classyshot]

Run rate is creeping up to 5.

 

[mudassir84]

Good bowling

 

[waleed88]

Listening to hindi commentary now.

Much more peaceful

I think they need a few commentators to represent every country..Ramiz and Wasim are the only ones are up for the billing..

 

[Firebreaker]

And at least we have a young pacer.These both opening bowlers are 35+

 

[Canistani Hero]

Listening to hindi commentary now.

Much more peaceful

How

 

[zabalestmsm]

Sarfaraz is waiting for Dockrell i guess!

 

[Arsal_AK]

Dare I say it, I rather Shahzad get out and Sohail come in to bat with Safraz.

Sarfraz is 8 off 20, Shehzad is 11.

Not to mention Shehzad has looked way more fluent.

 

[FreeBird]

shameful batting really.

Ireland opening was much, much better

 

[Classyshot]

Raz is in love with SarfraZ like that he's son.

 

[Justcrazy]

Ireland making things tough here

 

[Watsupdoc]

Sarfaraz is doing a worse tuk tuk then Shehzad

 

[saadibaba]

Not sure if we should lisent to Afridi about batting related issues.
Maybe he was trying to give the openers some confidence

After playing that much international cricket if we still can't take his opinion about the pitch condition than god knows why he is still in the team.

 

[Canistani Hero]

Get the feeling Sarfaraz is itching to sweep the life out of these trundlers

 

[Arsal_AK]

more.

 

[H2O1]

 

[Shafi]

Our batting is the weakest among test playing nations. Not a single century.

10 wickets in hand, RRR is less than five runs an over.

Where is the pressure?

 

[zabalestmsm]

Good shot!

 

[Logical]

Lol he said the pitch is like heaven

 

[Watsupdoc]

Shehzad looking more fluent now.

 

[mudassir84]

Our batting is the weakest among test playing nations. Not a single century.

Watch out today

 

[Arsal_AK]

10 wickets in hand, RRR is less than five runs an over.

True.

Some people just moan/crtisize for the sake of it

 

[Barragan]

One metre either side and he would have had three boundaries more by now.

Just have a look Sarfraz.

Always looking to run, but Shezhad has no intention.

He is getting some freebies.

 

[nads_rocks]

Sarfraz is 8 off 20, Shehzad is 11.

Not to mention Shehzad has looked way more fluent.

Fluent by tukking yes, he was 0 off 11 and scored a single off his 12th delivery, hits 2 fours and blocks the rest. He has been in the side a while and this World Cup he has done nothing but build pressure from the start. If he can't hit the Irish bowlers then he is a walking wicket against Australia. I dont rate his fours if he aint rotating strike. Out of the 19 runs he has scored 12 in boundaries.

 

[Itachi]

top class batting from pak.

 

[sada90]

Good shot!

oundary

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

Is this Pakistan's best start in the world cup?

 

[Arsal_AK]

folowed by a 2.

 

[saadibaba]

Lol he said the pitch is like heaven

Yes, heaven for him being a magical place only Muslims go to so yeah, you can make whatever you like from that statement.

 

[mudassir84]

Irish opening bowling is all they have. Pass them out, and play fluently after.

 

[Classyshot]

This pitch is so flat I can make chaptis and rotis on top of this wicket.

 

[Big Mac]

Fluent by tukking yes, he was 0 off 11 and scored a single off his 12th delivery, hits 2 fours and blocks the rest.

I dont rate his fours if he aint rotating strike. Out of the 19 runs he has scored 12 in boundaries.

Even the dot balls were hit well, just went right to the fielders. That's the kind of thing that will happen.

We are cruising here and people are wrist-slitting, makes for a terrible experience reading this thread.

 

[Itachi]

pakistani girl are sooooo pretty.

 

[Justcrazy]

Runs coming now

 

[sada90]

superb shot from sarfaraz

 

[Justcrazy]

pakistani girl are sooooo pretty.

[Strike Rate]
