What's new

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

Just tuned in to see that Pak decided to bench Haider, Kushdil and Usman :))) my lord! This is trolling of the highest order.

What has this nation done to deserve the plague that is Misbah?

Also, I couldn't track the ball on this YouTube stream. The colors are too weird!

Time to go back to sleep 😊
 
Not sure if Misbah do this on purpose or he is that bad as a coach to judge players.
 
How do you only score runs on 24/84 deliveries, 29% of the balls results in a score, whereas 71% result in nothing! Those are test match stats, Misbah you're allowed to leave now.
 
Misbah has backing of IK himself, so he ain't going anywhere, sadly performance is secondary thing in our culture,first is connections.

Unfortunately yes.

He should have nothing to do with Pakistan Cricket his approach to cricket in 2020 is just appalling.

We are possibly the most boring team in cricket right now and are lagging behind on all fronts.

Nothing will change. Misbah will still be in team selection for the match. If players follow his instruction they will lose matches.

Obviously the new selector won't sit idle. Depending on who is selected, some improvement can be expected. Granted it would be much better if Misbah is removed from both the roles since his influence is not proving to be any good to the team. But even one role could be a start.

There is no way he can justify this decision like quite a few others. Fakhar despite his shortcomings had a good ODI record and did well in last ODI series as well as was the highest scorer of national T20 cup. So if they were going full strength he should have played. Replacing 30 years old opener to test 33 year old opener (Who doesnt even have an impressive List A SR) is just bonkers unless I am missing some bigger masterplan.

Agreed. There a reason why I call misbah a clown. There are tons of better options then abid Ali for opening spot. I am not even counting the current players in the squad.

Exactly!!! But Ik has proved to be not that smart when it comes to judge people. But how come he dropped his cousin Majid Khan back that time.
 
Imam playing as if it is the last day of test match and he has to bat through the day
Pathetic

But CS cannot have say in final 11. When team fails Misbah will blame squad selection. So still Misbah wins the battle.

Babar, in 10 deliveries, has almost scored half the amount of runs Imam has

Still playing 80's style where one batsman was given anchor role whose low SR wasnt a concern. Imam is gonna provide stability to the innings we should be happy

That's true but the problem is that even the 15 probables have questionable selections. That can perhaps be remedied but it is true that Misbah will probably select the oldest and the most useless among them in the final 11 and Babar can not over power him. No one can perhaps.
 
Zimbabwe has good chance to win this match. Get Haris nd others will fall in no times
 
Mr Misbah please show some guts.
Don't push pak cricket to 70s or 80s.
You are the worst thing to happen since I started following pak cricket.
Haider and Abdullah should have been thr.
What is Abid Ali and Iftikhar doing in the playing 11?
Shameless!
 
PCB is too poor to give Misbah his money and sack him. I am sure Misbah will not mind to take full salary doing nothing. He can go and find new job in the meantime.
Not a bad idea to get some from Wasim Khan and Mani's pay cheque to pay off Misbah.
 
Looks like they are playing to justify the pathetic team selection.. enough of Misbah and his dramas. Gonna sleep.
 
Well bowled Muzarabani, got wicket of one of the best batsman in the world. He has good height, someone Zimbabwe should try to develop.
 
i did say dont take the Zimbos lightly but to give them so much respect....to play oldies abid ali..haris suhail and uncle ifti in same i mean what can i say :)
 
Thing is we will win this but just missing the killer instinct.

Am i the only one who think domestic match streaming was much better than this

Yes because it was supposedly in 1080p according to Pakistani standards. This is around at best 360p being put up as 720p way below HD quality and the sound and graphics are horrendously bad.
 
After Rizwan there is literally no batting....scary if Pak make less than 250

Looks like they have hired very poor professionals , hire someone from fiverr for better results in designing at least.
 
What a boring match!!!! Don't think we can score 300 for sure. Sadly Misbah has such a back up in Pakistan that he can get away with anything.

Exactly. Such tactics are not going to work against top teams and our performances against those teams in bilateral series played during last 5-7 years show that.

Forget about high quality streaming. Our team performance doesn't need over 144P.
 
Pitch definitely isnt the easiest but still you expect certain aspects of batting to be better from Pakistan.

It’s no formality they have some experienced batsmen barring a collapse could be a long day ahead.

:imam
 
Almost choked on my cornflakes Can’t wait for Misbah to go , what a absolute baystee to play the likes of Abid , chacha Ifti & even Wahab ,
I,VE NEVER SAID THIS BEFORE BUT WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE ZIMBABWEANS BEAT THIS BUNCH OF OAPS
 
Despite changes of coaching and players, the lack of strike rotation still continues like a stench in this team. We need continuously rotate strike rather than play dot balls consecutively.
