Pakistan v Nepal | Abu Dhabi | Practice Match | Nov 8, 2015 | Match Thread

[hussain.r97]

Scoring rate choked. We should have been aiming for 400 here.

 

[ChachaCricket]

I've lost all hope. We are simply too stupid to be a top cricketing nation.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Malik struggling and younis khan scoring freely ,#classdifference

 

[Shafi]

YK sealed his place for next 6 months

 

[JibranAnsari]

Just wondering why is babar azam in the team if he cant even get to bat against nepal.

 

[Cricket lover 27]

Younis Khan doing better than Shoaib Malik

 

[JibranAnsari]

This game has made one thing pretty clear that babar azam will only warm the bench in the odi series. Should have let him continue his domestic season instead. He might miss majority of his domestic season and probably will end up regretting getting selected for this odi series.

might want his bowling. With Malik retiring and professor still banned they probably have a eye on babar for the test team

 

[JibranAnsari]

So they will turn a top order player into number 5 . not a good idea in my opinion.

Apart from that I feel he should have been allowed to play the domestic season , he is just starting out in F in terms of centuries and he probably will miss a lot of FC games and I doubt he is going to get any games in the series.

Not sure why he's playing at 6 though, he's a top order batsman who opens in domestic FFS.

 

[Ahson8]

Somebody get Younis out please

 

[street cricketer]

Younis on fyaaaah....

 

[Ahson8]

Will Babar even get a bat ?

 

[JibranAnsari]

Younis's pride won't allow him to retire out.

 

[pakistani pride]

LOL feasting on spinners. Watch team man dance and hop around come first odi vs eng pace bowlers.

 

[zabalestmsm]

Great to see Shezzy scoring!

Making it harder and harder for Saint to make the XI. Now all we need is YK failing when he comes out to bat...

...Unless the management is stupid enough to consider dropping Rizwan/Sarfraz for Younis.

Though I doubt that will happen as Sarfraz is the VC and Rizwan's dropping can potentially create a massive earthquake in the media.

I guess Rizwan is back in Pakistan and his wife gave birth to their daughter.

 

[Firebreaker]

Regmi ma boy......

 

[JibranAnsari]

and : yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!

 

[zabalestmsm]

Azhar Ali is class in ODIs. We need an aggressive opener alongside Azhar.

Legendary Team man got out on 38 good for his standard.

C'mon Babar, need to stay till the end and get a 50.

its not a 60 overs game.

 

[Firebreaker]

Sad to see no Nepalese here.

why is it sad since this isn't an official match, not even list A

7 overs still remaining...

 

[dashing_man]

he can only get selected ahead of Yk if he scores the fastest century now

 

[JibranAnsari]

Babar azam isn't known for quick scoring , he is a calm operator

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

should be playing up but its warm up and they probably wanted to fit him in . Personally would have played him over shezhad but not a big deal since he wasnt going to start anways

on other news Team Man played the greatest 38 ever

It's fine for a warm up, but in international cricket he should not bat below No. 4, and ideally bat in the Top 3.

Lol, I'm pretty sure YK'll think he's done a fine job. I remember him bragging about his score vs SA in the World Cup where all his runs came against AB & Duminy...

Don't get too excited!!!! Waqar do not have enough power to bench YK and go against PCB Boss. He might loose his job.

 

[Ahson8]

Shoaib Malik retired out.

 

[dashing_man]

Shaba Malik, getting in the OD groove again.

 

[dashing_man]

Safi needs to find his mojo here

 

[IAJ]

Honestly this is embarrasing. Younis playing, Babar coming in so late. Yaar in logoun key dimaghon mein koi aqal nahi thouk sakta?

 

[11ShadyBrothers]

LOL poor babar facing the burnt of team man.

[11ShadyBrothers]

Babar is gonna make teamman cry.

 

[dashing_man]

Azhar Ali should protest against YK now. Babar needs to be in the team

 

[dashing_man]

meanwhile Sarfraz giving reasons for Management to get dropped as VC

 

[Ahson8]

Sarfraz
What are the odds of him being benched by team man now, with Rizwan coming into the team ? Pretty high I'd say, seeing how Babar has done well.

and it will show that the title Vice-Captain means being a 12th man

 

[dhump]

Superb by Babar Azam we should play babar,Malik,Rizwan Sarfraz as middle order

Babar should be played in the team in the coming ODIs. Drop Sarf. Play rizzu. Whoever fails. Gets dropped.

I think babur can also ball a little....we need Harris back at 1 down with Shahzad benched to really improve team balance.

Sarfraz is not is good form and he never was the best of ODI bats. His List A record is also poor, I think.

With Malik back and taking the no.5 position (which would have been the best one for Sarfraz); the only two places left for him are the opener and no.6/7. I would go with the later if you have to play him.

Sarfraz is at his best when used as a counter attacking option. So use him as one, like in the tests or drop him. He did well down the order in the ODIs vs NZ, if I recall correctly.

Dont think he will work at four. Rizwan is the one who should be batting at 4.
