[troodon]

Pakistan should play all spinners. Hacks cannot play even if the ball turns a centimeter.

I had high expectations for Pooran. Was disappointed with his batting so far.

 

[angrypathan]

Interested to see if we go with the same team or make a few changes now that we've won the series

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Pakistan will thrash West Indies and embarrass them yet again.

 

[Abdullah719]

Sarfraz Ahmed has won the toss and Pakistan will be bowling first.

 

[fazleefridi]

All 5 bowlers are Lefties

 

[161]

Amir back, Raees gets his T20 cap

 

[161]

Chadwick Walton Batting Averages -

Test Average + ODI Average + T20 Average = 12

 

[saeed5646]

All 5 bowlers are Lefties

west indies top 6 is also right handed batsmen so we should not be too much worried but you never knows.......

 

[cricfan14]

When do the ODIs start?

 

[Rayyman]

When do the ODIs start?

Later. 3rd T20 is today.

 

[angrypathan]

When do the ODIs start?

Friday

 

[srh]

Stupid Sarfraz. Why would you rest a junior Hasan Ali?

 

[saeed5646]

When do the ODIs start?

Sep 30, 2016 - 1st ODI at Sharjah Cricket Stadium (day/night)

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Let's see how Roman Reigns bowls

 

[Rayyman]

Let's see how Roman Reigns bowls

Please don't call him that. I am Roman Reigns.

 

[aukhan]

Roman Raees and Amir playing today.

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

whats average score here?

wi like chasing targets rather than making targets.

 

[aukhan]

Stupid Sarfraz. Why would you rest a junior Hasan Ali?

Only Wahab should have been rested for Amir.

Khair we need to check Rumman in international cricket as well.

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

it just feels wi are not in the mood for this series, lot of politics behind close doors.

 

[aukhan]

Imad bowling.

 

[aukhan]

Imad should continue to target the stumps.

 

[aukhan]

Sarfraz missed the run out.

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

That was fishy by sarftaz

 

[GreenTigers]

WI playing purposely tonight.

 

[aukhan]

 

[ExplicitAI]

Imad is too good

 

[GreenTigers]

Imad Ambrose gets his man.

 

[troodon]

LOL

Typical west indian hack shot.

Straight ball and the batsmen instead of hitting straight down the ground, goes for an ugly hoick.

 

[aukhan]

 

[fasihulhaq94]

Imad u legend

 

[Hasan123]

Imad is on fire!

 

[#GreenRoars]

 

[troodon]

Walton's 4.5 average just fell to 2.

 

[ExplicitAI]

I'm amazed

 

[GreenTigers]

2 on 2.

 

[aukhan]

Imad is turning out to be really good for us.

 

[Nasty Naz]

WI seem hopeless against Imad. Probably should be selected in a Test match vs WI.

 

[badsha001]

the ball didn't bounce wth was that?

 

[aukhan]

That ball kept low.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Lol tailenders

 

[#GreenRoars]

WI should learn how to play with straight bat.

 

[aukhan]

WI seem hopeless against Imad. Probably should be selected in a Test match vs WI.

Imad in place of Iftikhar at 6 Or we could have Sarfraz at 6 and Imad at 7.

 

[aukhan]

the ball didn't bounce wth was that?

Pitches in UAE are poor.

 

[Shafi]

I still believe PCB should act like a man and put Sarfraz as ODI captain. With the same team WI will whitewash us under Azhar's captaincy

 

[troodon]

WI should learn how to play with straight bat.

They cannot. They are used to playing on roads with even bounce like in that Lauderhill game.

WI batsmen cannot seem to understand that they need to play with a straight bat here to score run. Playing cross batted ugly swipes when the ball is slightly gripping and keeping low is asking for trouble.

 

[aukhan]

Imad likely to be the Man of the Series.

 

[aukhan]

I still believe PCB should act like a man and put Sarfraz as ODI captain. With the same team WI will whitewash us under Azhar's captaincy

Looking at their batsmen approach, we are favorites to win the ODI series as well.

 

[Shafi]

If Iftikhar, Hafeez & Zulfi retain in the test squad it will be really disappointing.

 

[90MPH]

Ball kept slightly low but why are you playing on backfoot ??

That was def a front foot shot so no sympathy.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Good shot by Fletchy..

 

[troodon]

Sarfraz should bring in Nawaz and Malik. No point bowling pacers at these hacks.

 

[aukhan]

 

[#GreenRoars]

Hilarious

 

[aukhan]

hahaha poor throw though.

 

[troodon]

Another hack gone.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Lol it's as if these guys are playing to lose

 

[troodon]

Too bad, if not for that runout, Imad would have snapped Flethcer.

That runout denied Imad another wicket.

 

[Sarfarazian92]

Sharjeel just lost a kg there

 

[aukhan]

Good ground fielding by Pakistan.

 

[aukhan]

Amir bowling now.

 

[MRSN]

I still believe PCB should act like a man and put Sarfraz as ODI captain. With the same team WI will whitewash us under Azhar's captaincy

this is nothing about Sarfraz. It's the conditions.

 

[Ellipsism]

Amir bowling quick.

 

[ask_analyse_act]

how many points will pak get if they beat the WT20 champs 3-0...eager to know..

 

[aukhan]

 

[#GreenRoars]

Delightful shot by Bravo

 

[Raja Danish]

Imad is the new poster boy of pakistan, plays with alot of passion & enthusiasm similar to Yuvraj Singh of India........ Excellent player...

 

[#GreenRoars]

how many points will pak get if they beat the WT20 champs 3-0...eager to know..

Pak will jump to 4th rank i think.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Too full

 

[ExplicitAI]

Marlon playing really poorly here

 

[imshally81]

Is pitch slow or Pak bowling well?

 

[aukhan]

 

[imshally81]

 

[Nasty Naz]

Wow Imad. Incredible bowling from Imad.

 

[Hasan123]

Pathetic batting vs spin here. Well done imad though

 

[ExplicitAI]

probably the best T20 left arm spinner in T20i's.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

They just can't play him

 

[yasir]

Wicket is even slower and lot lower this time around... I guess we want white wash...

This does not help us at all to prepare for ICC tournaments?? - For LOIs yard stick is ICC tournaments

 

[t_kaay]

Staying a bit low to spinners but nothing drastic

 

[troodon]

Another gone to a straight ball. No foot movement. Just standing and wafting at deliveries.

West Indies are mentally shot against Imad.
