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

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.

Sarfraz should open with Azhar Ali, at least he will give us some quick runs.
 
Looks like everyone chipped in. Brilliant stuff from Babar especially. Though I'm surprised that Rizwan didn't play.
 
A good team would've made 400 vs Nepal but 326 isn't bad but our bowling will be a worry vs England IMO.
 
LOL @ fans celebrating after YKs dismissal
It's sad to see how he's destroyed his legacy.

He would have been one of, if not the most respected Pakistani cricketers if it wasn't for his weird obsession to play ODIs. :facepalm:
 
Now they will include yunis in the playing 11

What do you mean by now Azhar Ali will never be able to bench the crying team man of Mount-Mardan.

Its a warm up game. He bowled 2 overs only. He plays as an allrounder. Yes our pace bowling can improve but wahab, irfan, rahat, anwar etc are good enough to compete.

You worry about the pace attack of your hero in your avatar.

Why I be bothered with Indian pace attack (or lack of it). Anwar ali giving runs over 5.5 rpo in his 4th over now against NEPAL is beyond any class even for an all-rounder.

How is Babar Azam as a player? Is he an opener or a middle order batsman? Heard that he is the best talent in Pakistan right now..

Except wahab, rest are worse than even indian bowlers.

Opener / Top order batsman, technically sound. Yeah, pretty much the best young batting prospect we have.
 
It is really depressing to see how PCB market their players compared to other cricket boards around the world.

Just check ECB twitter handle (or cricket Australia)and how well they cover the matches,how well they hype their players and how good their marketing department is.

On the other hand when you check PCB twitter handle you won't find anything other than SK press conferences and you will assume that their is nothing going on.No match nothing and also irony(not really but frustrating thing)is that even they don't announce team for ODIs or T20s or Tests but rather they wait for media persons to break it.

This is really frustrating as a fan.

They need to be more active on twitter and on other means because this is how the cricket works these days.This is not 1947.
 
Whats up with this lame bowling attack. Are we seriously looking to win against England with this joke playing with 3 and a half bowlers.

Thanks team man for spoiling the entire balance. Looking forward to a 4-0 whitewash by England
 
Why do they have to change the damn kit every freakin series???
 
Ahmed Shehzad is bowling :))

Looks like they are just having fun now.

Might as well give the ball to YK.

What is the point of playing Wahab, Yasir, Malik & Hafeez when they could have easily made way for

Zafar, Asif, Amir Yamin & Rizwan.

It would have been worthwhile for them to get a hit in the middle rather then burning out your key players.

I mean seriously can our management get any dummer? What is the point of bowling Ahmed S in a practice game which could have been more beneficial for the reserve players
 
What a horrible performance against Nepal. Cant believe the logic of playing your best players in a warm up match and able to knock of only 4 top order batsmen
 
Anwar Ali will be smashed by any decent batsman. Can't believe this guy is our opening bowler. :facepalm:
