Pakistan v UAE | 2015 World Cup | Group B | Match 25 | 4th March, 2015 | Napier | Pakistan Innings

[asifp]

What two set batsman are batting and taking a power play now is clueless?

No its the thinking. These two guys should be able to go at 7 - 8 an over without the power play. Might as well play till the 35 and then go crazy.

This is just what I expected. These two have wasted the PP so far , 17 balls 21 runs and 1 wicket.

 

[nads_rocks]

Oh Maqsood has been sent in not Umar Akmal?

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Was his beat opportunity to get his first hundred

 

[Abdullah]

Watcr for the running between the wickets here

 

[LegendInzi]

What an ugly innings by Haris Sohail. I'm a big fan but even I must say he's little more than a hack. Against pacers he hits straight to circle fielders. Against spinners he's dancing around without scoring or rotating strike.

I hope this and his recent appearances weren't the best he has to offer.

 

[shaz619]

Everybody Hurts Harris Sohail

 

[dhump]

Brillent batting from Shahzad, he is the best thing to come out of Pakistan and deserves much more than mere words.

Go have some sleep I am no fan of dramay bazi.

 

[asifp]

Yes but that's not Harris' role.

So why is that expected of Fawad Alam. Best rotator of strike in Pakistan sitting at home.

 

[CalculatedRisk]

And Fawad Alam was blamed for not clearing the infield. These batsmen cannot even hit over the infield of UAE after being well set!

He played a cleaner innings than Shehzad did.

I'm glad some of his fans are coming to realize how limited he is.

 

[Arsal_AK]

And people made fun of Fawad Alam. Harris Sohail can barely clear the infield as well

Haris can clear the boundary easily.

Those who have followed his career would know this.

 

[Watsupdoc]

Seems like if you hit the deck hard it's pretty hard to hit the ball out of ground.

 

[Saeed]

Mate what r u watching . 350 Is on the cards

lol 350, that is not happening. At best we will score 300 or something. Misbah has just arrived so time to witness the greatest battle from him against the mighty UAE bowling.

 

[IAJ]

Once there is a half decent bowler, our batsmen look clueless.

 

[Frank Underwood]

I don't understand the Pakistani contingent.

They want boundaries galore during the powerplay, so when they see a couple of dot balls, they get antsy and say that it is being wasted. Pakistan was getting 10 runs every few overs without the PP as well. The PP is a fallacy that people believe will be the difference maker in the match, when in truth, especially for a team that struggles to put runs on the board, the best way is to go with the flow of the match and build partnerships.

If one notices, the true big scores are made in the last ten overs anyways.

We struggle to score 300, and we want to just break the bank during the PP. How about we calm down and build partnerships and slowly build the RR up to 6 like the other good teams do?

 

[Justcrazy]

170 / 2

33 overs

 

[asifp]

20 runs in 3 overs and 1 wicket. Waste of power play so far.

Exactly as I said was stupid decision to take it given the guys that were batting. They should have gotten this without the power play.

Now watch us play hardly aggressive shot.

 

[JibranAnsari]

This is a very flat wicket , good we are playing against uae.

 

[aukhan]

Good innings from Haris Sohail but threw it away in the end.

 

[Kianig89]

Agreed Haris is overrated big time [MENTION=131678]Madplayer[/MENTION]

 

[Watsupdoc]

Shehzad stop playing for the century

 

[Aloo Chaat]

soooo slow

 

[Cricfan4eva]

Akhtar is just being nasty now, unnecessary stuff on Misbah

 

[dhump]

lol 350, that is not happening. At best we will score 300 or something. Misbah has just arrived so time to witness the greatest battle from him against the mighty UAE bowling.

Its Sohaib Maqsood not Misbah watch the match before crying.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

I have this feeling of parathe to rattling our middle order

 

[LegendInzi]

He played a cleaner innings than Shehzad did.

That ain't saying a lot, is it?

 

[Silverlion]

UAE bowling has been very ordinary. But Pakistan batsmen have not got the timing right. Big worry. Haril sohail spent so much time but was not timing the ball properly and same with shehzad.

they should try to get the max out this game.

 

[waleed88]

Should've scored a century but it was important to mot let scorign rate slow down

 

[Arsal_AK]

What worrying though is none of the Pak batsman have the ability to score tons apart from Shehzad.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Maqsi Off the mark

 

[Saeed]

Go have some sleep I am no fan of dramay bazi.

I just praised him , I can't make him PCB's chairman now. BTW good reminder, time to do something else.

 

[Aloo Chaat]

dancing on crease

 

[dhump]

Yeah go do something else.

 

[OmaIR1]

I sense a kohli like celebration coming from the joke Shehzad. He is playing for his century.

 

[Logical]

Akhtar is just being nasty now, unnecessary stuff on Misbah

source ??

 

[Watsupdoc]

Maqsood playing dots now

 

[Bilsher007]

Bad powerplay over, only 3 runs and loss of one wicket. We need 20/30 runs in last two overs of powerplay overs.

 

[Hamza_]

Harris Sohail played well. Then we cry why we get hacks like Akmal. Anyways Haris Sohail should look to open shoulders a bit more while playing big shots and slogs and amend his stance to go up at back foot and muscle it without having bat twisted. However i think in general he is more of soft hand player

 

[imshally81]

Good running

 

[Aloo Chaat]

Lol good running but maqsood what a bad timed shot

 

[Silverlion]

missing hafeez.

 

[Mr Consistent]

175-2
35 overs

 

[asifp]

just as I predicted total waste of Power Play. Just did not make any sense to take it when they did.

Added nothing to the innings. To take the PP in the 30 over you need intent we ave zero hence there was no point.

4 overs 25-26 runs. Tell me how was that not possible without the powerplay

 

[CalculatedRisk]

Shahzad with his typical century which starts with playing 30 dot balls.

 

[Point Black]

What guns,where have Pakistan been hiding this team? As a neutral I am very impressed with the youngsters.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Good running from maqsi

 

[JibranAnsari]

What a waste of PP overs.

 

[amomin]

No power.

 

[imshally81]

Out

 

[nads_rocks]

Dive saved him

Pp can be a hurdle sometimes good we ae done with that hurdle

 

[JibranAnsari]

290 max i guess from here

 

[fahadshah]

Century against minnows! What an achievement for this great player ! Hope he doesn't get it ! Sick of him really!

Dude stop saying neutral in each one of your posts. It gets annoying

 

[Madplayer]

Agreed Haris is overrated big time [MENTION=131678]Madplayer[/MENTION]

over rated? yes.

an average player? NO.

he is quite good. maybe not as good as we expected.

 

[asifp]

I am sorry our strategic think tank has an IQ worse then club cricketers. What logic derived them to take the PP in the 30 over is beyond me.

They had not desire to really take the game on anywaays so whats the point. if they were happy nudging it around delay the PP to the 35t

 

[Aloo Chaat]

 

[fahadshah]

Out ! Acha howa bc

Oh man Shahzad out in the 90s haha never deserved a century. Such a selfish innings.

 

[Mr Consistent]

over-actor

[dhump]

He is Out unlucky way to get out.

 

[Watsupdoc]

Shehzad out. Unlucky.

Aur khel century ke liye.

 

[Kianig89]

Hafeez missed minnow bashing here
Shehzy gone

 

[Aloo Chaat]

Man call and lets get 400

 

[JibranAnsari]

and out

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Hope Snailbah doesn't come out next

 

[OZGOD]

Much better construction of an innings from Pakistan. Obviously it's minnows but they haven't gone crazy playing T20 through the whole innings. Still a bit too many dots compared to SA vs Ireland but that can be fixed.

Here's my comparison of both teams, 1 down at the 30 over mark.

 

[Arsal_AK]

 

[Jabo]

Haha

Selfish player got what he deserved

Plays for himself so I won't shed a tear

 

[Mr Consistent]

no century for kohli

 

[Frank Underwood]

Good innings. Still needs to work on the strike rotation in the first 10-15.

 

[Justcrazy]

Run out

3 down

 

[dhump]

Went out of luck shahzad.

 

[Bilal7]

Maqsood needs to hit big here.
