[IAJ]

Shabash Sarfraz

 

[ARK Rafay]

Captain showing intent this time around. Honestly think he'll get chopped on

 

[shah_1]

Babar didn't look great today

 

[Mueez]

#bringbackMickey...

 

[msb314]

Good start by Sarfraz!

 

[Ilan Bluestone]

Bad innings from Babar. More often than not he comes good.

 

[Gullycricket]

People under Arthur Babar used to look so confident.I am worried for him now

 

[Rana]

Number 1 ranked team, ladies and gentlemen. If BCCI were scared of us before this series, they are now petrified.

You are loving it MashaAllah

 

[Zeshan547]

bhai such he kehtay hain jo cheez pass ho uski qadar nai hoti, Mickey wasn't setting the world on fire but misbah isn't even for enough to tie his shoe laces. why it always get bad to worse. We fans deserve better than this for hell's sake.

 

[Mamoon]

btw this is first choice attack by srilanka malinga has retired akila is banned..only perera is missing

Malinga hasn’t retired from T20Is.

 

[Syed1]

Arthur had atleast made our cricket interesting again

I miss Mickey Arthur.... now we have to witness similar or worse performances for the next three years. I remember in Misbah era we used to be happy at beating Zim. Those days are back.

 

[Gullycricket]

#bringbackMickey...

Yeah

 

[IAJ]

Sorry lads and lasses it's my fault, I went to the loo and came back to see two wickets had gone in my absence.

I forgot how strong my powers are.

Please go again, So we can get over this rather quickly than witnessing a painful slow death.

 

[Rana]

What exactly are these cricketing shots? 5th stump line dragged onto mid wicket

 

[trickyone]

I hope Karachi King doesn't rid of Mickey Arthur... Here goes, Misbah plan for being a PSL Team coach lol

 

[Mamoon]

Another myth:

This capitulation wouldn’t have happened on Mickey’s watch.

Let me break it to you - this drama of Pakistan being the best T20 side was going to bust soon, and we already saw the signs against South Africa and England during Mickey’s reign.

However, our fans will always fish for any excuse under the sun to ignore how crap we are.

 

[Mueez]

Yeah

This is awful to see.

For the first time ever I’ve seen Babar lose it.

Just hope Misbah doesn’t inject tuk tuk into him...

Mickey at the very least got rid of filth like Shehzad and Akmal. As I post this Shehzad is 1(6) with all balls faced in a powerplay... we may have still capitulated by atleast not have garbage like this sh!t player playing for us.

Captain on a mission today

We got battered against SA and England...

 

[Darkrai]

People use to bash Babar for scoring against SL and WI lol.

 

[Syed1]

Captain on a mission today

Mission to save career

 

[Zeshan547]

now get the required rate up to 15 by tuk tucking even more than cue the blind slogging and before you blink its 7 or 8 down. Rinse and repeat.

 

[Mueez]

Mission to save career

Can’t forget his innings against Australia.

 

[shortbread]

Shezad just needs to protect his wicket and rotate strike. Let Sarfraz face max balls, its pretty straightforward.

He does that and he can save his career.

 

[Ilan Bluestone]

Everyone relax. A bad match here or there doesn’t take away from Babars class

 

[Mamoon]

How pathetic have the likes of Australia and West Indies and Sri Lanka (previously) played to have allowed this circus team to reach number 1.

They should hand their heads in shame. This team shouldn’t anywhere close to the top 4. Painfully mediocre in every aspect.

It was just the one off T20I against ENG. Not a whole series.

How so very convenient to forget AUS, NZ and Tri series wins.

 

[Mueez]

Shahzad ko kon lekar aya hai???

He looks like a lost case.

He is in awful form.

 

[Omer2002]

we need 10 an over and here they are going for singles i am bemused...they went out and hit every one of our bowlers

 

[Darkrai]

Shehzad and Umar's 50s coming

 

[Mujtaba2900]

Everyone relax. A bad match here or there doesn’t take away from Babars class

Babar worst inning of 2019 across formats I guess

 

[Gullycricket]

Sarfi saving Tailender Shahzad

 

[Shafi]

I miss Mickey Arthur.... now we have to witness similar or worse performances for the next three years. I remember in Misbah era we used to be happy at beating Zim. Those days are back.

It will be worse because those TTFs are old now and their performance will be worse.

 

[Gullycricket]

It was just the one off T20I against ENG. Not a whole series.

Yeah also we used to be competitive in ODI's and garbage players were out of team

 

[Zeshan547]

just how long this Sarfi fluke lasts.

 

[sindhiboy]

Sarfraz now really playing for his place

 

[Rana]

Maar puttar Maar!

 

[The streak is Alive]

Well worth the gamble this. He should keep tossing it up

 

[AAli98]

Bowling looks completely different to when pak were bowling. Damning verdict. Rameez says pak bowlers need to take leaf out of lankan bowlers books...

 

[Gullycricket]

Sarfi of 2015.We are really in 2015

 

[Mueez]

Sarfraz, where was this aggression in the WC? Where?

 

[Mueez]

Sarfi of 2015.We are really in 2015

 

[shariqnoor]

Some day I'm sure a Pakistani batsman will get hit wicket with his bat follow through.

 

[Gullycricket]

AS is a clown.Should do modelling

 

[Hadi Rizvi]

Saifi playing with freedom today. What's so different, all of a sudden?

 

[Omer2002]

i am sure sad to say this but we wont be seeing Shazzy again in a pak shirt...he was never a 20 20 player..and also since the hit from the bouncer he has never been the same!

 

[Mamoon]

It was just the one off T20I against ENG. Not a whole series.

How so very convenient to forget AUS, NZ and Tri series wins.

Considering how poor we are, it is more down to them playing bad cricket than us playing well.

 

[rizan]

Some day I'm sure a Pakistani batsman will get hit wicket with his bat follow through.

Good one

 

[Mueez]

Can someone please put Shahzad out of his misery?

 

[SensiblePakFan]

Sarfraz sending a message to misbah, please drop shehzad lol

 

[Syed1]

Considering how poor we are, it is more down to them playing bad cricket than us playing well.

Poor teams do not smash NZ in NZ you seem to keep forgetting that.

 

[Gullycricket]

SL will be tough team to beat in 2023 WC

 

[Zeshan547]

They all play at their best once and only when they get near danger zone of being done all the other while it's business as usual. just pretend that you care and giving your 100 percent. Kash we can get rid of this garbage selfish mindset.

 

[Rana]

That was in the slot yaar!

 

[Plumb]

Some posters need to create a thread called "Pakistan Cricket is dead" and rant there all they want. Just don't pollute the match thread with constant nagging and pathetic logics

 

[Shafi]

Looks like Shehzad just want to score 20+ runs of 30 balls to stay in the team.

 

[Syed1]

RRR above 10 and Shehzad batting at 50 SR.... thank you Misbah

 

[Afhan Ali]

Shahzad is looking set for 150+ here

 

[babajee]

Whatever Fakhar is, he's still on another planet to Shehzad.

 

[Rana]

Considering how poor we are, it is more down to them playing bad cricket than us playing well.

Yes

 

[The streak is Alive]

Lol at Shehzad. He's trying for sure

 

[Mueez]

Whatever Fakhar is, he's still on another planet to Shehzad.

Shahzad can never dream of what Fakhar has achieved.

 

[Afhan Ali]

RRR above 10 and Shehzad batting at 50 SR.... thank you Misbah

#MisYou

 

[Plumb]

Shahzad build all those muscles for the dots

 

[Mamoon]

Poor teams do not smash NZ in NZ you seem to keep forgetting that.

Small pitches reduced the gap between our batsmen and their power-hitters.

 

[Gullycricket]

Shehzad Same old story...Pretty shots straight to fielders

 

[coy0607]

Shehzad is such an awful cricketer.. absurd decision to bring him back yet again

 

[msb314]

Huge 6 from Shehzad!

 

[Hadi Rizvi]

Considering how poor we are, it is more down to them playing bad cricket than us playing well.

Can understand that for a couple of series but 11 out of 13 series is stretching that hypothesis.

You're being too harsh.

Also in Misbah's era, frankly speaking, I expected this sort of pathetic selection.

 

[SensiblePakFan]

Shehzad auditioning for the test opener slot.

 

[Syed1]

Small pitches reduced the gap between our batsmen and their power-hitters.

We asked them to face us in small grounds?

 

[Afhan Ali]

Farewell for Shahzad

 

[Mueez]

Shehzad hit out or get out.

It is T20 not Tests.

 

[Rana]

Ahmad Shahzad’s career. RIP on 07/10/19

 

[Gullycricket]

Small pitches reduced the gap between our batsmen and their power-hitters.

Yeah thats why India has never Won against Nz in T20

 

[Plumb]

People talking about Shehzad how bad he is.. wait for the greatest batsmen on earth The great Umar the legend Akmal

 

[babajee]

[Zeshan547]
