Sharjeel looking good today MashAllah. Looked solid, waited for the poor delivery, and dispatched the poor balls away with minimal risk - even through the off side.

Babar also looking promising as ever.

Hope they don't throw away this start.
 
Pakistan finally getting a proper move-on......... maybe Azhar getting out early is a blessing in disguise in that he wastes boundary balls

He isn't the hack people make him out to be. He actually has probably the best hand-eye coordination in the team atm. Picks the length very early and has great timing. Doesn't go for the aerial route often. Just the kind of opener needed by Pak
 
Another lovely off drive by Sharjeel........has surely worked on his offside game
 
Over 80% runs on the off side . . all 5 boundaries on the off side . . Sharjeel definitely has been trying to add another dimenension to his game
 
Man that six was sweetly hit. Sharjeel looking like he could put up a monster game today.
 
Sharjeel in monstrous mood.........WI better do something quickly..........Sharjeel is timing them madly

His bulk make people not realize how quick he is with his hands and getting into position.

As I've said many times before, his only issue is he is a very nervous boy so he takes a little time to get into his zone, but when he gets going he is unstoppable and 20% of games Sharjeel will win you alone, while being good enough in the rest.

Why Rizwan in the team :facepalm:

why not he won you the historic chase just the last game and remain unbeaten... Oh god this UA and shehzad fans... Always at players who they think soft targets and go at them for their places in the team even if they win u match.. pak should make another team with 11 akmals and 11 shehzads and play pak A and pak B to make them happy...
 
Just the kind of start in the 1st 10 overs.......I'd take 60-1 in 10 after that first ball duck for Azhar.........as I said before, his dismissal was a blessing in disguise
 
After a slow start, Pakistan has gone up to 60/1 after 10 thanks to Sharjeel. Hopefully he doesn't take anymore unnecessary risk, Pakistan is in a great position to put up a big total.
 
Sharjeel is looking classy today. I have had my doubts about him, but he seems to have the ability to play shots all over the ground. He just needs to ensure his temperament doesn't desert him.

If he can start playing through the off side more often - like he has done today - and learn to deal with the spinner - we are still to see how he deals with that today - he is a very good prospect InshAllah

Here comes the spinner now.

His bulk is probably the reason for his power cuz Pollard and Russell have similar bulk

I think, it's more to do with Azhar's early dismissal. Had he been there, chances are high that scores would have been 40/1 now, with Sharjeel gone.
 
When was the last time Sharjeel Khan made 47 runs without a single pull / swivel pull / Short arm jab / hook?! hehe

Not having Azhar at the other end is definitely helping Sharkjeel.

How the heck?!?!

I mean.. do people even use logic when hating on a guy?

On the other end is Babar who is playing lotsa dot balls and and HAS 60 STRIKE RATE! How come NOT having Azhar is helping?

It's only SHARJEEL who is playing his usual fast innings, which he plays regardless of who is at the other end.
[MENTION=79064]MMHS[/MENTION] has also gone a bit OTT in Azhar hate.

In 1999 when he was playing gully cricket and if he pulled it would go into an angry uncles house, so he would be given out.

He scored 57 in that game before not being able to resist temptation any further and smashing a cracking pull shot through the uncle's window.

:yk
 
This is just the thing which Sharjeel needs to improve that is not get carried away
 
Sharjeel has done his job . Now it's up to babar and sarfi

What hate man?

Most pathetic captain that I have seen in ODI which includes our Mushi & your Waquar; as Captain has to field in circles & he is not among the top 6 inner circle fielder; bats pathetically, not poor, pathetic - I mentioned in other thread - take out his first 6 innings as Captain against us & Zimboks - his average will come down to 30s; twice got 80s in England batting first - PAK ended with under per score including 250/6 which is a shame for modern day cricket that you are 25 short & left with 4 wickets. Twice he has got out early in last few matches - scoring rate was far better.

He is only there as Captain because PCB had made a mistake & now too stubborn to accept that.

Azhar probably has the thickest skin to feel any shame. He mentioned earlier that he will not resign even if we loose this series
 
Malik comes to the crease.

Between Babar and Malik I hope they can keep the score board ticking over, by picking up 4-6 runs every over without taking too much risk tor the next 10-15 overs.

That will Inshallah give us a decent base in the last 15-20 overs, if we can keep wickets in hand.

Having said that - even if we get into a position of around 180-2 or 180-3 in 35 hours - we really don't have big hitters down the order to capitalise on that
 
I think that was pad first but there isn't enough there to overturn the on field decision IMO.

In the end it's umpires call :))

Was never out :P

That is exactly Imad and Nawaz's role, to give us cameos at the back end of the innings

Hmm - yea in theory thats what you want your number 6, 7 & even number 8 to do - however, we have to see if the likes of Imad & Nawaz can do that. Time will tell InshAllah.
 
Too much criticism for Azhar Ali

I would like to remind Pakistan fans that THOUGH pakistan has been on the losing end mostly, they are yet to have a match where they scored less than 200 in recent times, okay maybe only occassion but thats it. Consolidation is the name of the game in ODIs.

That is the worst excuse ever to defend Azhar. I mean you want us to stoop down to such a level where we get out for below 200 on flat roads for Azhar to finally resign.

No - again study the game better way. Babar had a SR of 60 because his partner was blasting from other end. He has 27 of 44, but only 1 boundary - means he was rotating strike to give Sharjeel max strike.

Batting is a collective effort, Babar scoring 40 of 45, won't have given
PAK higher score had Sharjeel been bogged at one end. Ahmed would have got same 27 of 45, but with 4 boundaries at least & PAK would have been 72/2 now, with Sharjeel gone earlier for desperate shots.
 
Sharjeel should really play safe against Spin. Not that he can't hit against spinners but just because his strength is pace. He will get alor of pacers in later part of innings to smash

I dont think you have answered the question because at that time Azam had similar strike rate to azhar.
Maybe azam was rotating the strike better i.e he had only scored only one boundry for his 26 giving more time to sharjeel to be on the strike not letting him being frustrated ?
