Pakistan v Zimbabwe | 1st ODI | Rawalpindi | 30th October, 2020 | Pakistan innings

[MMHS]

Hamstring or knee? This guy is not going to survive till 2023 WC.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Haris cant run, so boundaries is the only choice.

 

[Mir jibran]

I agree at least he can hit a few if he’s in the mood.

Aur ab jab aapne psl ki baat kar he li hai to
He has scored 290 runs in 23 innings

 

[zeeshanarif1981]

2 more quick wickets and it will be over for Misbah

 

[angrypathan]

Haris goes as well. Shambles.

 

[cricketbadshah]

I agree at least he can hit a few if he’s in the mood.

But funny thing is that we never see him in good mood in international cricket...Always failed as a batsman

 

[Rayyman]

Fabulous innings from Haris

 

[shah_1]

injured his knees

 

[JibranAnsari]

Richard hadlee and gary sobers

 

[Khan12]

Fabulous innings from Haris

Some PP experts think fawad is better then him lol.

 

[ChTab]

Wow we really are a pathetic team playing a full strength team against a minnow side at home & in 42 overs we able to cross 200 mark for the loss of 6 wickets just amazing

 

[Mir jibran]

Million dollar question
Will pakistan get to 250 on this deadly track

 

[Zaz]

This has been a comical display from pakistan so far this innings

 

[zeeshanarif1981]

1 more quick wicket and it will be over for Misbah

 

[JibranAnsari]

Haris should learn english and work on his commentary.

 

[cricketbadshah]

Misbah earn this humiliation from zimbabwe....

 

[Khan12]

Hamstring or knee? This guy is not going to survive till 2023 WC.

As much as I want him to play I am afraid this is the reality. We wasted his career and mainly beghairat misbah.

 

[Rayyman]

Wow we really are a pathetic team playing a full strength team against a minnow side at home & in 42 overs we able to cross 200 mark for the loss of 6 wickets just amazing

Obviously Fakhar was a big miss today, but I do not mind trying bench strength against Zimbabwe.

 

[Thunderbolt14]

Look at it this way. Imagine we steamrolled Zimbabwe today - these folks would all be playing the 2023 world cup.

So kudos to Zimbabwe, you spectacular team!

 

[Usman Chadda]

We might actually lose this one )

 

[Shafi]

Fahim ahead Imad? Even Wahab is a better batsman than him.

 

[Baigel]

I hope Misbah sees the writing on the wall. Wasim Khan and the PCB need to step up and make a decision. There’s no way that guy is coach material. Full strength Pakistan team losing to Zimbabwe at home

 

[JibranAnsari]

As much as I want him to play I am afraid this is the reality. We wasted his career and mainly beghairat misbah.

Haris has himself to blame , his fitness has been abysmal for last 7 years. He never worked on his fitness , he has a belly and very poor posture for an athelete.

 

[sharmaji]

I would like to see Haider Ali play in the next matches.

 

[Mir jibran]

Brillinat rotation of strike by 2 world class allrounders

 

[Xoib]

Hopefully zim can do a number on this team today

 

[Thunderbolt14]

 

[Markhor]

Just tuning in. What a disgusting lineup and performance from Pakistan.

Misbah is such a coward he stacks the XI with seniors because he's afraid he might lose to Zimbabwe.

Domestic cricket is more enjoyable recently than watching Pakistan national team.

 

[Khan12]

Haris has himself to blame , his fitness has been abysmal for last 7 years. He never worked on his fitness , he has a belly and very poor posture for an athelete.

He is to blame too but the main blame goes to misbah and PCB. He should have been playing ahead of asad. Let's not forget Misbah used to bat him at 7 and then dropped him.

 

[Thunderbolt14]

Have to agree actually, National T20 cup was way more entertaining. At least it was an even competition.

 

[Rayyman]

You good?

 

[the Great Khan]

awful performance i must say...really cant have people like abid and imam and then other tuk tukkers at the start

 

[Mir jibran]

Sikandar raza"s bowling has been a revelation

 

[ChTab]

Obviously Fakhar was a big miss today, but I do not mind trying bench strength against Zimbabwe.

Trying bench strength & loosing would be acceptable.

 

[Ahmed216]

Minnows till at least 2025

 

[Khan12]

Just tuning in. What a disgusting lineup and performance from Pakistan.

Misbah is such a coward he stacks the XI with seniors because he's afraid he might lose to Zimbabwe.

Agreed. Domestic matches have been much better then this.

 

[chuck]

Brillinat rotation of strike by 2 world class allrounders

nothing to worry, mighty imad is still there

 

[imshally81]

 

[Rayyman]

Khushdil Shah would have been useful in this situation.

 

[Shafi]

We fans can complain all day long but Misbah is here to stay for another 3-5 years. He has such a strong back up.

 

[the Great Khan]

unfortunately I have to agree. I am a supporter of Misbah,generally, but this is true. He is a risk averse bean counter..if your gonna be risk averse in these series whats the point??

 

[Rana]

A person like Misbah who had no choice but to play Hafeez and Malik i t20i to ensure we do not lose will not ever take risks. He isnt known to be brave.

Not sure what the fans expect from this guy.

 

[zeeshanarif1981]

Common zimbabwe. Do it for us. Whole nation cannot remove Misbah but now you surely can

 

[JibranAnsari]

He is to blame too but the main blame goes to misbah and PCB. He should have been playing ahead of asad. Let's not forget Misbah used to bat him at 7 and then dropped him.

Thats not the main blame , he may have p!ayed 5 more test matches and 10 more odis with this fitness. He never took his fitness seriously , you need to be super fit these days to play all formats and leagues.

 

[Shafi]

@MMH, How long do thing Misbah will last? I think he will be there even 2023 World Cup.

 

[TeymurBlake]

How is Faheem selected again. There has been no improvement in his batting whatsoever.

 

[Thunderbolt14]

You good?

I’ve never been more disgusted with a lineup in my life usually I try to give people a chance to prove the merit of their decisions but even my tolerance level has reached its limit for Misbah. The thing in Pakistan cricket is you need big disasters for big decisions to happen.

If we ended up winning without a hitch today, I can write it to you in signing that we would have had no chance in 2023. At least maybe now some folks at the PCB wake up and smell the coffee.

 

[Thunderbolt14]

Sikandar raza"s bowling has been a revelation

It really has. Wow!

 

[Mir jibran]

@MMH, How long do thing Misbah will last? I think he will be there even 2023 World Cup.

Obviosuly even if we lose this odi he wont be sacked
Just like the 2013 test match we lost to zimbabwe and misbah contiuned to be the captain for next 4 years

 

[Shafi]

Common zimbabwe. Do it for us. Whole nation cannot remove Misbah but now you surely can

Highly unlikely!!! PCB will not waste money to find a new coach after they overpaid Misbah.He can get away even with 3-0 against Zimbabwe.

 

[Khan12]

Thats not the main blame , he may have p!ayed 5 more test matches and 10 more odis with this fitness. He never took his fitness seriously , you need to be super fit these days to play all formats and leagues.

At that time he didn't have any fitness issues or bad knees even with all this he's 100 times the batsmen asad or azhar could ever be.

 

[Rayyman]

Cmon Rana Jee

 

[Kashur_Kalkharab]

Insha'Allah Zimbabwe to win.

 

[Shafi]

Obviosuly even if we lose this odi he wont be sacked
Just like the 2013 test match we lost to zimbabwe and misbah contiuned to be the captain for next 4 years

Exactly!!!! Misbah is a desi bro and he has supports from our formers. The situation would be different if we have a foreign coach.

 

[Mir jibran]

Micky was miles better than misbah

 

[Rayyman]

Decent little partnership here. Shaping up for a good score. Hope Wahab can smash a couple big shots as well.

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

Very very disappointed to see ifti abid and even imam in the team..we are going backwards no doubt n its all misbahs fault as babz doesnt have the guts for this...in modern day game u have to chase 400 how do you expect that to be chased with this team!!

If Babar doesn't have the guts, how is it Misbah's fault? Both are equally awful.

 

[Hasan]

Excellent pitch and outfield.

 

[shah_1]

Hamstring or knee? This guy is not going to survive till 2023 WC.

Shadab at 4 won't be a bad option

 

[Rana]

If Babar doesn't have the guts, how is it Misbah's fault? Both are equally awful.

Appointing Babar as captain is a decision that will haunt us.

He isnt a very smart guy. The guy was playing cricket during his years of being at school.

 

[Mir jibran]

Faheem "klusenar" ashraf

 

[Aenigma]

The PCB needs to get rid of Misbah. His defensive, cowardly culture is seeping into the cricket team. The entire top order displayed fear and insecurity. Is this what we want in our teams? Lest we forget that this is our supposedly full strength team against Zimbabwe.

If the T20 national cup was any indicator, the future lies with the likes of Haider, Shafique. Misbah deserves to be sacked, he should not be anywhere near the team. He has no idea what modern day cricket is. TukTuk for 45 overs and then go for the hits. Not a great strategy when you only have tail enders left at the death!

#MisbahOut

 

[Shafi]

Micky was miles better than misbah

Now Tanvir/Razzaq will not throw missiles on Misbah.

 

[Rana]

Chalo well done we should be able to get the bare minimum of 270-280 and Misbah can be proud of his teams on par performance

 

[Mir jibran]

Now Tanvir/Razzaq will not throw missiles on Misbah.

We need a foreign coach thats it
Desi coaches have always failed
Perhaps someone like andy flower is the need of the hour

 

[TeymurBlake]

Andy Flower wouldn't be a bad idea. The problem is he needs a good CS as well. Someone who isn't afraid to get rid of the TTFs and try new young players.

 

[MMHS]

Shadab at 4 won't be a bad option

International cricket is not National T20 - have you checked his ODI scores in last 18 months?

 

[Shafi]

We need a foreign coach thats it
Desi coaches have always failed

After Wasim Khan's dubicious appointment I don't think any foreigner will be interested to apply. Nobody wants to waste their time when there is clearly rigged in appointment.

 

[Mir jibran]

Andy Flower wouldn't be a bad idea. The problem is he needs a good CS as well. Someone who isn't afraid to get rid of the TTFs and try new young players.

Thats the problem
If we lose this series they ll bring back malik and hafeez instead of the likes of haider and khushdil

 

[Shafi]

Don't think it will work in Pakistan culture. Our formers and their favorite journalists will always harass foreigners. PCB doesn't want to any bad terms with our formers.

 

[Cric1234]

Shadab at 4 won't be a bad option

Indeed a strike rate of 68 might just win a match against UAE.

 

[cricketbadshah]

In the 47 over pakistan still play dots ball....

 

[Zaz]

Typical misbah no risks until series is won Fgs its zimbabwe

Theyve made zimbabwe to be india today

 

[Shafi]

Thats the problem
If we lose this series they ll bring back malik and hafeez instead of the likes of haider and khushdil

Malik and Azhar retired. May be Asad Shafiq

 

[TeymurBlake]

Thats the problem
If we lose this series they ll bring back malik and hafeez instead of the likes of haider and khushdil

Knowing Misbah, that's true

 

[TeymurBlake]

Don't think it will work in Pakistan culture. Our formers and their favorite journalists will always harass foreigners. PCB doesn't want to any bad terms with our formers.

Then don't allow stupid journalists in. Maybe pick a selective amount of desi journalists rather than all of them.

 

[cricketbadshah]

What Imad is thinking

 

[aasifwanis]

Misbah is a nuisance.
He doesn't have an iota of idea about the modern game.
He is still living in fools paradise of surviving till 40th over formula.

 

[Shafi]

Then don't allow stupid journalists in. Maybe pick a selective amount of desi journalists rather than all of them.

PCB isn't that brave unfortunately.
