[srh]

Same team?

 

[joly]

Anwar Ali shouldn't be even allowed to carry drinks, Pakistan should play fearless cricket and go allout today

 

[Jabo]

Anwar Ali shouldn't be even allowed to carry drinks, Pakistan should play fearless cricket and go allout today

If they play "fearless cricket" something which the chairman/coaches have said they always try and do against India, then they will be all out for 20

I hope they change around the batting order today.

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Forget this Match...Rooting for Bangladesh for the Final. Come on Tigers make History on Sunday....

 

[aukhan]

Hopefully Afridi Duck Master is benched today.

 

[Bilal7]

Amir, Riaz, Sami, Imad and Nawaz should be the bowling attack. Iftiqar should be played too and if Khurrum has been a good boy, he can be given one final opportunity to prove that he isn't the most awful Pakistani batsman of the last five years.

 

[smasher1980]

People still want Sami to play for Pakistan after that disastrous over....he should be banned from intl cricket forever. He is only good enough for club cricket. Give others a chance. Build for the future.

Not everyone can be a Nehra ok!

 

[JibranAnsari]

Bazeed khan is a very good analyst , was giving his analysis on dunya tv.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Hopefully Afridi Duck Master is benched today.

Well it seems he isn't playing today.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Sami and manzoor are expected to be rested according to dunya tv.

 

[aukhan]

Well it seems he isn't playing today.

That's good news.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Afridi playing.

 

[smasher1980]

Does Pakistan have any good batsmen on the bench who can be tried today? The bench strength looks poor to be honest.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Pakistan bowling first tonight.

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Pakistan Batting.... I can see th World Upside Down.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Nawaz ifti and wahab in.

 

[aukhan]

Afridi playing

 

[JibranAnsari]

Manzoor sami and anwar out.

 

[hadi123]

Pakistan win toss and fielding first. Damn, Sri Lanka's team is weak, if only we had beat Bangladesh on Wednesday cos surely we are winning this

 

[Abdullah719]

Iftikhar in?

 

[Asif321]

lol Iftikhar

 

[dauntless]

Oh no poor sami misses out

 

[#GreenRoars]

Hehehe so champs are rested.

 

[dauntless]

Why to play iftikhar even he is not in world t20 team

 

[JibranAnsari]

Hope iftikhar scores big tonight.

 

[smasher1980]

Oh no poor sami misses out

They should give him a one way ticket back and make sure he never returns.

 

[hadi123]

so Nawaz, Iftikhar Ahmed in along with Riaz. Will be awks if Ifti does well

 

[smasher1980]

Why are the selectors ignoring Imad Wasim? He had a horrid PSL but he has the potential to be a good all rounder. Afridi is blocking that spot I guess.

 

[Abdullah719]

Looks like Afridi made a mistake. They have picked Imad, not Wahab.

 

[Lords]

I hope sharjeel makes a odd 70 even if its for a losing cause like what ahmad did. That way he will become undroppable

 

[#GreenRoars]

Looks like Afridi made a mistake. They have picked Imad, not Wahab.

Na, Wahab is playing, Imad ain't.

 

[Shafi]

How on earth Hafeez still in the playing 11? If he has any pride or moral he should withdraw himself from the squad.

 

[dauntless]

Today hafeez will score 40 runs and become untouchable for world cup

 

[MMHS]

It's a great aggressive strategy for Pakistan - worthy of Waquar & Afridi's class - Rest Sami & play Aamir so that he is match fit for WC. Now, I am expecting Iftekhar to bat at 4 & Umar at 7.

 

[MMHS]

How on earth Hafeez still in the playing 11? If he has any pride or moral he should withdraw himself from the squad.

That story won't be sold much in media, neither it's healthy for his course - what if Umar bats at 3 & makes a 65?

 

[IslamabadUnited]

All the best Pakistan!

 

[Shafi]

That story won't be sold much in media, neither it's healthy for his course - what if Umar bats at 3 & makes a 65?

Exactly, we are surrounding by so many fake people whose honesty are just for show

 

[Bilal7]

Amir, Riaz, Sami, Imad and Nawaz should be the bowling attack. Iftiqar should be played too and if Khurrum has been a good boy, he can be given one final opportunity to prove that he isn't the most awful Pakistani batsman of the last five years.

Would have liked Irfan to rest but otherwise, happy with the team today. Now please let Umar bat at #3.

 

[Markhor]

Iftikhar Ahmed

These guys just never learn. Let's see if this hack can actually hit the ball from the middle of the bat for once. Even a struggling Imad Wasim, who was supposedly our new golden boy all-rounder just a few weeks ago, would've been a better option.

 

[anuk]

did anybody else get goose pimples when afridi said 'come on pakistan'?

 

[uberkoen]

Man, Amir is something special.

 

[MMHS]

It's a Friday evening & we have 90% empty stand in a match involving Pakistan at Mirpur - if it doesn't ring the bell at PCB, it won't ever.

 

[Markhor]

Amir vs Dilshan in an opening over...

 

[uberkoen]

did anybody else get goose pimples when afridi said 'come on pakistan'?

No.

 

[Bilal7]

Ufff, good over but that was a classy shot by Chandimal. Amir should be given three overs upfront.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Cmon Lanka

Audience have been rested for Sunday's match.

 

[uberkoen]

"The batsmen have been deceased. "

lol

 

[Aliziajaffery1992]

Bowling first....not a good decision

 

[dauntless]

Good over from amir

 

[theariezman]

swing and a miss by Dilshan

 

[yasir]

Irfan's control is disappointing, why he does not bowl full ?[emoji849][emoji849]

Not much activity today in this thread

 

[IslamabadUnited]

Are we out of the Asia cup?

 

[#GreenRoars]

SL going good

 

[anuk]

need a good performance from lala to smash lanka today. 2 years of losses might force some changes to the domestic structure

 

[#GreenRoars]

Are we out of the Asia cup?

Yes, it's a dead rubber.

[Bilal7]

Rubbish bowler. Drop him.

 

[IslamabadUnited]

 

[Indiafan]

Sri Lanka going after Amir

 

[uberkoen]

What can Pakistan realistically chase here? I'm thinking 130-140 would be a good total for Sri Lanka and anything higher would all but guarantee victory.

 

[IslamabadUnited]

Well, if we are already out. Than what's the point of watching this game. Might as well study.

 

[Greenshadow]

India's bowling is much better than ours. Much more effective.

 

[dauntless]

Srilanka to score 145

 

[#GreenRoars]

SL going solid.

 

[uberkoen]

Interesting how Sami's been made the scapegoat and dropped for this match for that 1 bad over whereas the batsmen who have continuously under performed continue to hold their place in the team.

 

[Garuda]

Watching cricket after long time. Don't recognise a lot of players now.

Some of the new Pakistani players are overweight.

It's all muscle.

 

[#GreenRoars]

It was easy catch Irfan

 

[IslamabadUnited]

It can either be a good thing or bad!

 

[MMHS]

Irfan is becoming such a poor new ball bowler - statistically, he 'll look economical, but on this type of wicket, you should look for wickets with new ball. He is bowling short & rubbish, wasting the new ball.

 

[theariezman]

Afridi is just unlucky!!

 

[Indiafan]

It was easy catch Irfan

Lol Deano compares Irfan to a bowl of spaghetti trying to move back. Meanwhile Afridi does not have a slip fo himself

 

[uberkoen]

Poor drop that.
