Pakistan v West Indies | 2nd ODI | Sharjah | Oct 2, 2016 | Match Thread

[Syed1]

Saeed Anwar and Amir Sohail had a third wicket partnership?!?!?!


Didnt they both open?

 

[Hasan123]

Rizwan should come in now

 

[super hitter]

Point to be noted guys!

'Since June 30 2016, in Pakistan victories, Azhar averages 19.5 as captain, while in losses he averages 34.5. It's pretty clear that Pakistan can only get a decent total if he's out early'

 

[MRSN]

kya yar malik, I was expecting a big hundred.

 

[msb314]

I want us to have a batting collapse


Bhai bowlers ko bhi khelnay do.. plus the Windies are not going to chase anything over 200 anyway, if the target is around 250 then Azhar will have to do good captaincy and the bowlers will have to work hard. If the target is 350 the bowlers can just roll their arms over and will still win with 75-100 runs.

I would rather win without Azhar's "captaincy" so that he can be removed after this series.

330+ should be on the cards.

 

[Mir jibran]

oh no malik

 

[Syed1]

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

 

[super hitter]

noooooooooooooooooooooo

 

[MMHS]

Great knock bay Malik - this should keep him till 2017 CT at least at No. 4. Bechara Umar - paying for bad company.

 

[Nasty Naz]

That's too bad, it would have been nice if he reached his 100. Superb innings nonetheless.

kaali zubaan

 

[msb314]

Unlucky - great knock by Malik nonetheless!

 

[Yatoo]

Yaar century missed

 

[boomboom6]

soft dismissal for Malik ... misses out on a big 100

Wah, kush ho gai?

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Where did that come from? Really soft dismissal. Deserved a ton.

People like you can only speculate.

Don't worry lads, one wicket is not batting collapse

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Saeed Anwar and Amir Sohail had a third wicket partnership?!?!?!

Maybe Afridi opened in that game with Amir at 3

 

[Syed1]

Should have sent Riz

 

[Syed1]

Maybe Afridi opened in that game with Amir at 3

3rd wicket means one of them was coming in at 4.

 

[aukhan]

That's the second hundred he missed recently.

 

[Syed1]

Takes the broom out again.

Man Viv is the best commentator

 

[JibranAnsari]

Should have sent Riz

No , made a right call.

 

[boomboom6]

Babar is really good through the covers against spin ... this is what Umar needs to improve on against spinners

 

[super hitter]

That's the second hundred he missed recently.

and the 4th time in his career, sad for him. could've boosted his ranking@!

 

[Hamza_]

3 Dots by Sarfraz

 

[Syed1]

Babar is really good through the covers against spin ... this is what Umar needs to improve on against spinners

Umar needs to improve his overall off-side game

 

[super hitter]

really wanted to see 200 partnership.

 

[Syed1]

Sarfu single leh yaar... hahahahah Viv

 

[aukhan]

and the 4th time in his career, sad for him. could've boosted his ranking@!

These 2 hundreds would have shut some people for good. Hundreds count and people members it for some time.

 

[t_kaay]

Pakistan should go for the kill here, look to get 330.

330 should be easy.....the kill would be 350+

 

[super hitter]

South Africa 361/6 (50.0 ov)
Australia 87/4 (16.1 ov)
Australia require another 275 runs with 6 wickets and 33.5 overs remaining

 

[super hitter]

I'm off,.,,,,..we've won..

the fundamental knock with six sixes comes to an end and hopefully Micky won't ask for more sixes.

 

[Syed1]

South Africa 361/6 (50.0 ov)
Australia 87/4 (16.1 ov)
Australia require another 275 runs with 6 wickets and 33.5 overs remaining

Australia are proper minnows these days.

 

[Hasan123]

Should have sent rizwan in. We are not going to learn anything new about Sarfraz as he is a good player of spin anyway and also Sarfraz is going to just rotate the strike mainly vs spin.

Rizwan can accelerate slightly more and needs to be tested vs spin a bit more.

 

[Syed1]

Azam has more runs than any other Pakistan batsman after 17 ODIs

 

[msb314]

This is poor from Sarfraz

 

[The cricket enthusiast]

lol after sucha great start pakistan gonna make same mistakes again
they just dont have good finisher apart from imad i wonder why there is no umar akmal he is the best hitter in this lineup.
sarfraz and rizwan looks same kind of batsmen who cant hit out of the ground.

 

[Syed1]

Excellent running.

 

[super hitter]

the guy picking up the bowl after the third six #respect

[IAJ]

Excellent running.

But dangerous, don't need a run out at this stage, not comfortable with some of calls from Sarfraz.

 

[Syed1]

IDK how much you know about Riz, but he is the premier bat for the most successful Pak T20 side in recent years (Peshawar). Scoring quickly isn't a big issue for him.

 

[BabarAkmal_Fan]

This is where you need Umar Akmal

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Awful by these 2

 

[Syed1]

Ok we have definitely slowed down since Malik's departure

 

[The cricket enthusiast]

IDK how much you know about Riz, but he is the premier bat for the most successful Pak T20 side in recent years (Peshawar). Scoring quickly isn't a big issue for him.

yaa idk much but from what i have seen he cant hit boundaries and he is not at all a finisher.. so better to sent imad ahead of nawaz and riz.

 

[dauntless]

Score should be around 350

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Really hope Babar gets another ton

 

[Syed1]

I understand Babar slowing down since he is nearing another ton. But Sarfu needs to accelerate..

 

[IAJ]

Babar will open up after his ton in sha Allah, but Sarfraz needs ro up the Aunty here

 

[Syed1]

yaa idk much but from what i have seen he cant hit boundaries and he is not at all a finisher.. so better to sent imad ahead of nawaz and riz.

Yes Imad should be sent ahead of him

 

[The cricket enthusiast]

Score should be around 350

must be after sucha huge partnership with that strike rate.
but i dont see that coming really.
umar akmal should have been there.

 

[Syed1]

Last 5 just 25 runs..

 

[Syed1]

Oh God Sarfaraz just get out

 

[Syed1]

11 off 18 at this stage

 

[Nasty Naz]

Not really understanding why they are not playing more aggressive with so many wickets left...

 

[IAJ]

Who is Vishual Singh? Batsman or bowler?

 

[shariqnoor]

We definitely need a Buttler, Miller kinda player who can come in and thrash 80 off 40 balls. Sarfraz can't hit sixes at all.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Miandad really needs to improve his power hitting

 

[BabarAkmal_Fan]

We definitely need a Buttler, Miller kinda player who can come in and thrash 80 off 40 balls. Sarfraz can't hit sixes at all.

Umar frikkin Akmal.

 

[MRSN]

Great selfish batting going on. Then we wonder why are we at 9.

 

[Hasan123]

11 off 18 at this stage

Rizwan should have been sent in. He needs to show if he has improved vs spin and he is better at accelerating compared to Sarfraz

 

[MRSN]

Once again lack of a power hitter exposed

 

[Markhor]

Saeed Anwar and Amir Sohail had a third wicket partnership?!?!?!


Didnt they both open?

Sometimes Amir Sohail would come in at 3.

 

[Markhor]

Who is Vishual Singh? Batsman or bowler?

Guyanese batsman.

 

[Syed1]

Whose bright idea was it to send Sarf?

 

[shariqnoor]

Umar frikkin Akmal.

Akmal is hardly consistent. He can make 80 off 40 probably once in 30 innings.

 

[Syed1]

Sometimes Amir Sohail would come in at 3.

But 3rd wicket partnership means parternship between:

opener - 4th
or 3rd and 4th

 

[Markhor]

Perfect platform for last 10 overs. 310-320 should be gettable but Sarfraz doesn't have a power game.

 

[The cricket enthusiast]

wth is he doing

 

[The cricket enthusiast]

Perfect platform for last 10 overs. 310-320 should be gettable but Sarfraz doesn't have a power game.

neither do rizwan
and he is next

 

[Inswing]

Congrats babar

 

[Nasty Naz]

Back to back 100s for Babar. Well played.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

What is the point of Sarfraz coming in during the last power play?

 

[msb314]

What a hundred by Babar!!!

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Well played Babar. Inshallah there are many more to come

 

[Markhor]

But 3rd wicket partnership means parternship between:

opener - 4th
or 3rd and 4th

Just looked at the scorecard - Saeed opened with Afridi, Ijaz was at 3 and Amir Sohail at 4.

[IAJ]

What a player Babar is! So calm with his celebration as well. Congrats Young boy.

 

[shariqnoor]

Sarfraz needs to get out for the betterment of the team. He's not helping with his singles.
