Pakistan v Sri Lanka | 3rd T20I | Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore | 09 October, 2019 | Pakistan innings

[Inzi_fan_No_1]

Another bottle job

 

[Plumb]

The confusion on management's mind is clear from this batting lineup... sending whoever they want and just win the game... pathetic just pathetic

 

[Mean&Green]

This is beyond shameful guys like mamoon must be over the moon seeing this sarafraz needs to not only get booted out but booted out with hardcore shame

 

[neonoir]

Only hacks remaining can only see a 3-0 loss from here. Can't blame Imad the shot was required

 

[Mueez]

Game, set, match.

Congratulations Sri Lanka!

 

[The streak is Alive]

Th slower ball messed with Imad's timing there. Clever from Lahiru. SL have all the necessary ingredients to be a gun side in a few years

 

[ask_analyse_act]

A 3 - 0 result is better for Pakistan . If they win this game they will be happy with mediocrity

true..expecting it..otherwise foolish misbah will select the same bunch... Misbahi nightmare continue to haunt pak one way or the other... Never ending...

 

[The streak is Alive]

94 MPH from Lahiru. Breathing fire

 

[Plumb]

So Imad was doing his job on his number but now the little bit of hitting he had that will also be destroyed... Misbah

 

[imshally81]

Asif gone

 

[Kaptan]

Have they screwed it?

Seems so.
44 in 18 balls looks impossible at this stage.

 

[Inzi_fan_No_1]

Asif is another clueless player

 

[The streak is Alive]

Wanindu maaaan...

 

[Plumb]

A 3 - 0 result is better for Pakistan . If they win this game they will be happy with mediocrity

We will forget it and move on with same nonsense. After Losing to lanka in tests I thought the same, but nothing will change. heck we appointed this clown as a selector/coach and we asking for change?

 

[HGhazanfar]

Misbah is sending us back to 2015 after progression under Mickey. I bet he has told the guys except for Fakhar no one else will throw their wicket away inside the powerplay. You see the change in the approach from Babar - he used to be very aggressive in the powerplay and then would just hit the singles afterwards keeping a 130sh strike rate. Now hes not taking many risks in the powerplay and strike rate is less than 100.

 

[Zeshan547]

asif butler gone. hope it was the last of him.

this is what inexperience will bring you to the table..

 

[Ahmed216]

UAE pitches are very slow as well.Babar has fared well there.
I had high expectations from him.

But the ball doesnt keep low there and the pace is even

 

[Titan24]

Man how poor is Sarfaraz and our power hitting

 

[IAJ]

What a shame. Please stop playing in Pakistan. Go back to UAE.

 

[imshally81]

 

[coy0607]

the legend of Asif Ali grows.. if he keeps going at this rate, he may be as good as Umar Akmal one day

 

[Green Patriot]

Its over.
So embarrasing.

 

[Dark_Horse]

Don’t know what kind of excuse asif Ali will bring out this time

 

[Mercurial]

This is the over. A gamble by bringing on a spinner.

 

[IAJ]

Man how poor is Sarfaraz and our power hitting

look at the fitness of these players. Does a single player look like a big hitter?

 

[Titan24]

asif butler gone. hope it was the last of him.

Even if its last of him I cant think of anybody who has a power hitting game

 

[WhenSultansBowled]

Crash n Burn.

What a phainta by young Lankans! Kudos to them for a whitewash. Great news for world cricket this new SL team!

Pakistan on other hand will go back to 2013 days -Afridi

 

[The streak is Alive]

Wrong 'un coming...

 

[Afhan Ali]

Kaptaan

 

[imshally81]

Sarfaraz gone

 

[Dark_Horse]

Sarfraz telling us how to survive on a 5th day test pitch

 

[msb314]

Hate Sarfraz with a passion!

 

[Mercurial]

Should have sent Iftikhar ahead of Imad and Asif.

 

[The streak is Alive]

Wrong 'un coming...

Haha telegraphed it...

 

[ARK Rafay]

Absolute Shambles Sarfraz!

 

[Zeshan547]

such killer hitting by sarfraz, yar 30 yard circle he cross kr le bhai. And here goes the legend. You deserve every bit of this humiliation.

 

[Afhan Ali]

Thanks Misbah

 

[ManFan]

They are going to choke.

Misbah is a cancer and so is the PCB.

 

[Dark_Horse]

Looks like he didn’t like his audience so he is out as a protest

 

[Ahmed216]

Ban PSL if it gives us likes of asif faheem shadab

 

[HGhazanfar]

Who do you even select? Seems like the whole team needs a revamp.

Possibly Khusdil Shah depending on how he performs in this domestic T20 but no options outside of that. Possibly Kamran Akmal as opener and drop Sarfraz.

Kamran Akmal WK
Babar Azam C
Haris Sohail
Iftikhar Ahmed
Khusdil Shah
???????????
Imad Wasim
Zafar Gohar
Haris Rauf
M Amir
Sameen Gul

 

[Titan24]

How poor is Sarfaraz!!! almost lost Pak the last ODI, lost the first T20 and now again wasted balls without doing anything

 

[Nado_]

Hopefully this series will bring some changes into the team?? Hopefully Misbah will get the picture regarding Shehzad, Akmal etc

 

[imshally81]

 

[HasanA]

Pakistan vs Srilanka B = beaten
Pakistan vs SriLanka B = Beaten Again
Pakistan vs SriLanka C = Beaten AGAIN!

 

[ARK Rafay]

Iftikhar is also another mentally strong lad. We need more of those.

 

[Ahmed216]

Circle paar hota nahi bhai se and he is our T20 captain

 

[imshally81]

Great running

 

[Nado_]

The only slight positive is Ifthikhar from this series

 

[ask_analyse_act]

what an ugly batting that was from sarfraz... deserves to be booted out from all formats, he doesnt make the team on merit.. As akthar said, rizwan got two hundrreds against AUS and this is why he is coming back fit and trying to bat up the order with zero form to carry on...

 

[badsha001]

as i said before, at least umar akmal didn't waste any balls unlike selfie boy and fatty boy

 

[Mamoon]

We deserve this humiliation.

 

[Snowflake]

This should be all too familiar to this dressing room.

Poor chases were the norm under captain Misbah and coach Waqar. Nothing new here.

 

[dhump]

Misbah ul Haq written all over this performance the horrors of Misbah era returns to normal in last 3 T20s.

 

[Dark_Horse]

Sarfraz came at when required rate was 9 and gone when required rate becomes 18.5 ATG for a reason

 

[Mamoon]

We were told that we lost the first two matches because Fakhar (first match) and Haris didn’t play and it was Umar and Shehzad’s fault.

Pakistani fans - never change.

 

[Titan24]

And Srafaraz was batting at no 4 rather than Ifti

 

[mosh101]

Shameful stuff, cant watch this.

 

[Ahmed216]

Ifti is better than these hacks

 

[Shafi]

Thank you Misbah to destroy ourT20 team

 

[Nado_]

Sarfraz really needs to look in the mirror now , his keeping and batting have just declined too much

 

[Inzi_fan_No_1]

Misbah out

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Hopefully this series will bring some changes into the team?? Hopefully Misbah will get the picture regarding Shehzad, Akmal etc

No, it will not... he will bring hafeez and malik back for shehzad and akmal , will continue to lose...

 

[Mamoon]

“We will beat India 4-1 in a 5 match series. We are the best T20 team in the world. If there is a WT20 now, we will win.”

 

[Plumb]

How poor is Sarfaraz!!! almost lost Pak the last ODI, lost the first T20 and now again wasted balls without doing anything

HE is not the Sarfaraz of 2015. When he agreed to become a yes man for the pcb he lost it... after he is kicked out of the team insulted, you will see him sitting in the program "game on hai" where he will say yes I screwed up I should have done this and that ... same will happen with the next captain. Unless you have a captain who says "these are the players I want and I will get you the win I don't care about anything else and I take full responsibility"

 

[ARK Rafay]

Sarfraz needs to be sacked from all formats. Effective immediately. It's for his own good as well.

 

[HGhazanfar]

Misbah use to do this when Captain waste balls - run rate climbing and then too late when he started striking back.

 

[Mercurial]

Rizwan may not be a power hitter, but he knows the art of chasing big totals. He had shown it in Faysal Bank T20 tournaments, few years ago. He played some impressive clutch knocks.

 

[Plumb]

Who do you even select? Seems like the whole team needs a revamp.

Possibly Khusdil Shah depending on how he performs in this domestic T20 but no options outside of that. Possibly Kamran Akmal as opener and drop Sarfraz.

Kamran Akmal WK
Babar Azam C
Haris Sohail
Iftikhar Ahmed
Khusdil Shah
???????????
Imad Wasim
Zafar Gohar
Haris Rauf
M Amir
Sameen Gul

Keep the same team and remove the clown called Misbah

 

[Mamoon]

I warned you for a long time that a reality check was coming for this fake number 1 team, but even I didn’t think it would be against Sri Lanka C.

 

[Green Patriot]

Misbah's face

 

[dhump]

So, in the end, we know we don't have the replacement for Mailk and Hafiz this is the reality of Pakistan cricket.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Wahab hitted with almost head down and eyes closed

 

[Sadevdesai]

Pakistan should declare !!!

 

[dhump]

Rizwan may not be a power hitter, but he knows the art of chasing big totals. He had shown it in Faysal Bank T20 tournaments, few years ago. He played some impressive clutch knocks.

Anyone will be better than Sarfraz here.

 

[Shafi]

Con artist Wasim Khan needs to be kicking out to select Misbah and Sarfaraz

 

[badsha001]

So, in the end, we know we don't have the replacement for Mailk and Hafiz this is the reality of Pakistan cricket.

they weren't going to win you matches either. Have you seen their performance in CPL? Hafeez can't bat for his life now days and Malik can only bash trundlers and gets out against slightly good bowlers.

 

[HasanA]

maybe Pakistan might win if Srilanka D team shows up next series

 

[babajee]

I warned you for a long time that a reality check was coming for this fake number 1 team, but even I didn’t think it would be against Sri Lanka C.

We will beat Australia in the T20 series next month. Then what?
