Pakistan v West Indies | 2nd ODI | Multan | 10th June, 2022 | Pakistan Innings

[MenInG]

Pakistan put in a good effort to win the first ODI but to some we got lucky - need better planning in 2nd ODI and possibly some changes too.

any team news?

 

[Shafi]

any team news?

Hasan Ali may play as Babar is supporting him to get in form.

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

Wow Hasan Ali dropped

 

[Firebat]

Pakistan win the toss and opt to bat first

One change for Pakistan, Hassan Ali out for Mohammad Wasim.

 

[Firebat]

One change for the Windies, Anderson Phillip comes in place of Jayden Seales.

 

[Shafi]

Wow Hasan Ali dropped

More like rested. He may back in 3rd ODI if Wasim fail.

 

[Rana]

Good change waseem for Hassan

 

[as-95]

Mohammad Wasim is as bad as Hasan Ali. In fact, id probably rather have Hasan Ali. Neither of them know how to bat and I'd probably back Hasan to make double figures over Wasim.

Both are as bad as each other in bowling too at the moment despite Hasans historical performances.

 

[Rana]

Good chance for Babar to score his 18th ton with no pressure of a run chase

Did wasim snatched your lunch or what? Give the guy a break man. Anyone is better than current Hassan Ali, and only other option bar wasim was Dhani, but that would have made Tail too long, so i can understand why team management went with safer option in Wasim. Almost ideal team now considering everything and don't know when was last such time when there was not even a clear cut passenger in the eleven. Kudos to team management, credit where due.

I agree too...he is nothing special if not same as Hasan. It had to be Dhani surely I know he hasn't been tested but surely he had to be tried.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Good decision to drop trundler Hasan.

Since Jan 16, 2018, he averages 77 with the ball , economy of 6.73 and strike rate of nearly 70.

Can someone tell how Bangladesh is on the top of ODI and Afghanistan 2nd when teams like Eng, NZ, Aus, Ind are behind? Am I missing something?

They have won the most matches that is why. Every match you win you get 10 points.

 

[Rana]

I have a dream

That one day we can watch a Pakistan match without Sana Mir being enforced upon us as a commentator!

 

[Omer2002]

Great maiden played by Fakhar...only Pak can play maidens in white ball cricket.

 

[Rana]

Fakhar showing intent but no connection

 

[Rana]

Imam’s confidence is sky high

How does Wasim make the tail shorter? Wasim is not considered an all rounder by even PSL teams. He gets sent out after the other tailenders. Having Wasim in the side instead of Dahani makes the tail equally long wothout the superior bowling of Dahani.

 

[as-95]

I agree too...he is nothing special if not same as Hasan. It had to be Dhani surely I know he hasn't been tested but surely he had to be tried.

Definitely. Equally bad at batting but by FAR the superior bowler.

 

[Shafi]

Fakhar wastes too many balls at the beginning. Should learn to rotate strike

[Rana]

Fakhar looking solid and switched on today

 

[Nasty Naz]

Good to see runs flowing a bit for Fakhar here and getting them without forcing it.

 

[Rana]

2 over spell lol

 

[MenInG]

2 over spell lol

Do you blame them?

 

[Shaddy86]

Why can't Pakistan batsmen say a firm no to each other instead of just standing there and looking at the fielder. Such a basic of the game that we've never seen any improvement on. Pathetic stuff.

 

[ha5is12]

Good chance for Babar to score his 18th ton with no pressure of a run chase

Acting like he's not scored them with the pressure of a run chase...

 

[NeVerMind]

Good decision to drop trundler Hasan.

Pakistan should have left him to play county cricket and gain some form and confidence. Really silly to get him back for this series and beyond....

 

[Rana]

Acting like he's not scored them with the pressure of a run chase...

Did I say that he can’t score them under pressure?

 

[ha5is12]

How does Wasim make the tail shorter? Wasim is not considered an all rounder by even PSL teams. He gets sent out after the other tailenders. Having Wasim in the side instead of Dahani makes the tail equally long wothout the superior bowling of Dahani.

Wasim Jnr has an average of 28 in list A cricket and an average of 20 in t20's domestically

 

[ha5is12]

Did I say that he can’t score them under pressure?

Did I say you said it?

 

[Rana]

Did I say you said it?

So what exactly is your problem with my statement?

 

[ha5is12]

So what exactly is your problem with my statement?

Nothing whatsoever pal was just adding a supplementing comment

 

[Rana]

“Brian Lara’s sr was 79, one of the greatest ever”

-Ian Bishop

He is 100% right in his argument

 

[Shafi]

Why are players block or slog? What M Yousuf doing as a coach?

 

[Kroll]

Out, hack is out

 

[ha5is12]

Undroppable man really wants to get dropped doesn't he

 

[imshally81]

Fakhar gone

 

[Rana]

Pathetic from Fakhar


Just a matter of time now he loses his opening spot for Rizwan

 

[ha5is12]

Babar surely due a failure as well? Hopefully I'm just being pessimistic...

 

[Shafi]

This Fakhar is pathetic. Block or slog.

 

[Rana]

Fakhar doing no favours to himself whatsoever. The agenda to have Rizwan open in ODI is at full swing. These pathetic soft dismissals will eventually open the door for this to happen, and Rizwan needs one of his one trick pony innings to get the long rope as Pakistan’s ODI opener until 2040

 

[Kroll]

Block, slog or out, this is extremely pathetic. Players need to play for the team more instead of going for individual glory all the time.

 

[imshally81]

Good shot.. 4 runs

 

[Shafi]

Fakhar needs to be dropped. This guy either block or slog and waste too many balls. Fail most of the time

 

[Naveed99]

Nobody has that agenda?? Stop letting Rizwan live rent free in your head.

 

[Kroll]

Fakhar needs to be dropped. This guy either block or slog and waste too many balls. Fail most of the time

Indeed, had enough chances, mediocre player.

Rizwan is a champion,a fighter. Best all format batsman after babar in pak.

 

[GreenKhan]

Fakhar with the best SR in the team wastes to many balls?

Yes his dismissals have been frustrating but with a SR of 94 and and an average of 46 he has earnt himself a long enough rope.

lol what agenda? Who is making up this agenda?

Either way, it's not happening.

 

[Ahmed216]

If bobby scores a 100 he'll equal sangakarra record of 4 consecutive hundreds

 

[Shafi]

Yes his dismissals have been frustrating but with a SR of 94 and and an average of 46 he has earnt himself a long enough rope.

He scored 5 of 23 and and 12 in 3, 2 in 1 and 1 in 1. Need to learn strike rotation.

 

[Rana]

Pakistan struggling

A wicket now will be immense pressure

 

[Shafi]

Waste of powerplay!!!

 

[imshally81]

Is it the different pitch from the last one?

 

[PakPremi]

Who is broadcasting this series in UK?

 

[ha5is12]

People need to understand that we don't adopt the same strategy as England. We look to preserve wickets upfront and then build on that, rather than the hit from ball one strategy og England. This has been working fine for us and why fix something that isn't broken

This is the guy thats goes into ICU’s the night before a match then comes out batting the next day. He leads the namaz out on the field in the middle of a game.
All hail the righteous and pious Rizwan.

 

[imshally81]

Finally babar Azam finds the gap for single only

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

I wish Pakistan would play more aggressively.

 

[Rana]

The way I see it…

Muhammad Harris has not been brought into the ODI side in order to keep Rizwan on his toes. Instead he has has been brought in to eventually take over the gloves from Rizwan and bat at number 5/6

Whilst Rizwan opens the batting with Imam and Fakhar eventually being phased out from the team.

 

[Nasty Naz]

WI are doing well to cut off Babar's cover drive shot.

 

[Shaddy86]

[Rana]

West Indies have done their homework

Pakistani batsmen have been offered hardly any width by their bowlers in the last two games in the opening 10-15 overs

Babar feasts on width offered

 

[Rellu_Katta]

4 of 20 balls... on a multan track .... thts shameful for any batsmen let alone a no1 ...

 

[Rana]

I have a feeling Pakistan are not going to win this game

 

[Shafi]

We need consistent batsmen for opening who can score 50-60 in 10 overs. Fakhar keeps repeating same mistakes and M Yousuf doesn't have any clue to fix that.

 

[MenInG]

I have a feeling Pakistan are not going to win this game

Pakistan batter should have advantage as WI bowling in this daytime/evening heat

 

[Amjid Javed]

pathetic batting again, our entire top 4 all feel need to start their inns off in slow fashion, this will get exposed against better teams.

Also the ineffectiveness in PP is pathetic as well.

 

[imshally81]

Babar is clearly under pressure..

 

[Rana]

At this rate, Pakistan are going to need to score 220+ in the last 30 overs to post a reasonably defendable score

 

[Rana]

Babar is clearly under pressure..

Under no pressure

He is doing nothing to negate the West Indies tactic of bowling at his stumps at a good length

 

[Nikhil_cric]

This pitch is slower than the previous one. Windies commentator went on about this being a flat pitch. But when a pitch is this slow, its not a high scoring one, even if it is easier to survive
