Just some info

Pak vs WI 255 43 overs roughly

Aus vs SA 235 35 overs roughly
 
I'm pretty sure he is the first batsman to score his first three hundreds in a row.
 
What is Sarfu doing? WI made 275+ with wickets at hand & Pollard playing an "interesting" innings. This is a better wicket, bigger ground & Aamir not playing - PAK will need 325+ today, unless there is a massive improvement in catching.
 
Amazing from Babar!
Always liked him
And hopefully a lot more to come

Pak need 320+

Sarfaz needs to push
Babar needs to up it too and needs some luck
Dont think he'll be able to clear the boundary at this time
 
This is the phase where we still need improvement. List first 10 overs, RR should be 8 and above in last 10 overs as well.
 
Oh my word this guy scores 3 tons in three games. Really proud of him.
 
I've supported this guy since his under 15 days and I feel so proud of him. Its like my son just graduated. XD
 
This WI team is beyond pathetic.

It's just Pakistan and they are making it like the great aussies.

No one can make lullos look great as WI does.
 
3 of many, many, many to come. This guy was made to bat at 5 - only for that WY should stop commenting.
 
6 off 11 by Sarf. Setting a wonderful platform to launch from the 50th over
 
Last boundary was hit at 36.1 overs. Quite ridiculous considering we had 9 wickets in hand then.
 
This is sad. 2 of the top 3 getting hundreds and we're not even close to 300 in the 44th over. Unacceptable. Commies pointing out the same.

well your welcome to not watch and keep your julli kuti comments to yourself..
 
Need a big push these last 6 overs. Feels like we're 15-20 short of where we should be given our platform.
 
Happy for Babar, but as a team, we have been shocking. The platform our openers set... We really should have got anything close to 400.
 
So long since a boundary was hit. Well play Sarf, exactly what is needed :14:
 
Although we have 2 hundreds today, I dont think this is good enough. Cricket is a team game, not a game for personal milestones. I would rather have runs spread out between 7 or 8 batsmen and make 350 than have 2 hundreds and make 320.

Ideally we should have gone big from the 35th over. Doesnt matter if Azhar or Babar were close to hundreds. Go big or get out. We cant afford to have selfish players in the team, if you are set on around 70, either hit remaining runs quickly or let someone else come and hit. We chew up so many balls just for personal milestones.

This is why I say Afridi was unselfish. If he was batting he would look to score big rather than look for personal milestones and higher averages.
 
verry poor from pakistan first azhar ali just ate too much for his century then babar and the lesser said about sarfaraz the bettter it is
 
Playing a pathetic shot against Pthetic pollard
I really wish now that Umar akmal was playing

Babar hasn't hit a boundary for a very long time

He is playing a prefect game - not sure when he last had a dot. Problem is at other end - Babar is set, so he should bat till 50th over & give strike back to other batsmen, that's why there are 7 of them. If he gets out now trying to over power, check 1st ODI for a out come. Set batsman must play till end.
 
Easy bowler on, now Sarf can hit and shut up his haters lol
 
Should have got atleast 350 with the platform we set but looks unlikely, maybe with a shuffle in the batting order we'd see an improvement in the death overs maybe Akmal could come into the side aswell

To be honest Babar should just look to throw the kitchen sink, basically the Afridi approach after reaching a ton.
 
Barbar gone; what a fine talent Pakistan have been blessed with.
 
Can't even blame Babar or Azhar for playing the way they did, they're accumulators. Blame lies with whoever decided NOT to send Imad after Azhar fell, and instead sent Malik and then Sarfraz after him. Such rigidity. Should have been aiming close to 340. Now we'll barely get past the 300 mark, unless Imad lights it up.
 
And that's it. Unless Rizwan comes in and hits big we'll be lucky to clear 300. Babar and Azhar did their jobs, but nobody on this team who can just brutalize the bowling in the last 10.
