[the Great Khan]

another rubbish ODI performance from us.

 

[NZcricketfan]

I should be focusing on my studies after this...

The one day win record in the last ten years between the two teams is in our favour.

Don't feel bad

 

[Mr Consistent]

sarfraz off the mark

 

[Mir jibran]

[Justcrazy]

89 / 5

26 overs

 

[the Great Khan]

we need to play out the overs at least!!

 

[Asif321]

cant believe Sarfraz batting at 7

It's okay bro. Even I should be. I have an exam on Thursday

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

Haris is the highest scorer ....... in our innings, look at that. he is gold now.

 

[m.shah]

96/5

 

[Madplayer]

Haris is accelerating now . hope he stays there

 

[SAfridi]

Personally I would put Shehzad & Jamshed To Open The Innings.

 

[Barragan]

With Sarfraz and Haris at the crease, we at least have a chance of chasing down the total.

 

[Justcrazy]

All big guns back in hut , pathetic batting. Now afridi and bowlers would be blamed for the loss.

[shortbread]

Would have been a good idea to send Afridi to up the ante when the spinners are operating. A quickfire 30-40 from him and bring the run rate to 5.5ish, and have Harris, Sarfraz and Wahab bat to the end.

Misbah needs to think out of the box!!

 

[Madplayer]

Good batting. Effortless strike rotation by sarfaraz

 

[Mr Consistent]

100 up for pak

 

[Justcrazy]

I am sure Misbah has rehearsed his lame excuses for loss already

 

[IAJ]

Lols Sarfraz will make sure Haris loses som kgs here

 

[amomin]

Lol Brian almost shut Rameez up with Pakistan domestic talk. Clueless Ramiz

 

[Sam18696]

Haris has been a big positive in this match.

 

[Canistani Hero]

This is going to be like the Sohaib-Fawad partnership in the first ODI against SA

 

[Cricket_Engineer]

I am sure Misbah has rehearsed his lame excuses for loss already

Another pitch excuse. Still cannot forget how embarrassing it was in WI when Misbah was going on that the pitch was a minefield, then immediately after Lendl Simmons said it was a beautiful batting pitch.

 

[Mr Consistent]

6 runs from the over

 

[Sam18696]

What Brian said about Akmal is correct.

 

[blackanhyellow]

sarfraz just looks class compared to the other batsmen. He slices through fielders with such ease. He should be the batting coach lol

 

[Canistani Hero]

Bryan Murgatroyd so boss for insinuating the Fawad point

 

[Cricket_Engineer]

Who is listening to the commentary?!! Even non-Pakistani players are questioning the exclusion of Umar, Fawad and Maqsood

 

[Asif321]

feeling really sad for Umar and Fawad

 

[Barragan]

LOL

Akmal averaging 40 and with a SR of 102 in 2014, plus he bats at no. 6 too, even ramiz saying "He is better than most of the cast".

 

[Cricket_Engineer]

Bryan Murgatroyd you legend

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan need to bring back Umar Akmal and Maqsood

 

[the Great Khan]

ive turned it off. Going back to doing some kaam. Whats the score.

 

[IAJ]

This is how you treat part timers

 

[Madplayer]

Now these two showing there class

 

[Mr Consistent]

 

[Barragan]

I'm glad these two are in early because we don't have to watch tuk tuk and lose the match at the same time.

 

[Asif321]

man what is.Sarfraz so.low

 

[SAfridi]

Sarfraz is THE BEST BATSMAN In the TEAM.

 

[Mr Consistent]

111-5
29 overs

 

[Watsupdoc]

No we shouldnt' rely on him at all.

His job was to bowl 10 overs and then just eat cake and drink tea, smack a few and return back.

That's his job.

Well if we want to win this, it sure looks like we will need an Afridi special.

I agree though, our batting should be good enough to not rely on Afridi's batting...

 

[Sam18696]

Sir has usual oozing with class

 

[Justcrazy]

Sarfaraz rotating the strike much better.

 

[Bilal7]

Sohail is playing a good knock here, Fawad Alam should be worried. Come on boy, win us this game InshAllah.

 

[Smbhayi]

All tuk tukkers gone home. . now its bang bang time..

 

[Canistani Hero]

Why is the stadium so empty?

 

[Caved12]

Correct me if I am wrong here my Indian brothers.
I think back in days India had a problem chasing and Dravid, who was the captain at that time, batted second for so many consecutive games to address this issue. I believe that's what Pakistan needs to do!

 

[Sam18696]

Behold the SIR SWEEP

 

[Mr Consistent]

 

[SAfridi]

Would you guys prefer Hafeez or Jamshed??

 

[Arsal_AK]

Sarfraz

 

[Watsupdoc]

Where did Sarfraz learn to sweep like that! This takes guts!

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Sir sweep in full flow there

I love watching Sarfraz bat. May an Akmal never hold the gloves for Pakistan in any format ever again.

 

[Asif321]

when sarfraz comes everything looks positive

 

[Cricket_Engineer]

Would you guys prefer Hafeez or Jamshed??

Jamshed because at his best he looks miles ahead of Hafeez. Also Jamshed is a specialist batsmen whereas Hafeez is an AR who can no longer bowl

 

[Justcrazy]

Look how sarfaraz is batting , the pitch has no demons

 

[Barragan]

This is what you call counter attacking!

 

[Arsal_AK]

Class.

WOW.

 

[Mr Consistent]

good shot

 

[Sam18696]

SIR YOU BEAUTY bow:

 

[Justcrazy]

Effortless by sarfaraz

 

[Hawkeye]

SIR is pure class...

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Beautiful

[Juansar_07]

Sirfraz always brings life to this tame batting line-up.The only positive in the last few months for them.

 

[SAfridi]

I agree with u

 

[Mr Consistent]

123-5
30 overs

 

[Arsal_AK]

Open with Umar and play Sarfraz at 5.

Don't ruin this Waqar and co.

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Wow just wow

Misbah said it perfectly:

"Sarfaraz is like oxygen for this team".

 

[Dr_Bassim]

I don't know if we will win this or not, but Sarfraz is having a gem of a tour with the bat.

Can't say the same about his keeping though...

 

[Justcrazy]

123/ 5

30 overs

 

[SAfridi]

Jamshed because at his best he looks miles ahead of Hafeez. Also Jamshed is a specialist batsmen whereas Hafeez is an AR who can no longer bowl

True

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Why were they hiding Sarfaraz in the line up up till now
