[Bhaijaan]

Just checked, Afridi averages a sorry 11 with the bat in world cup after 16 matches

Bowling record very good though

 

[Khan88]

Sorry Rameez, we'll drop Shehzad and take Shafiq AND Umar.

 

[JilaWatan]

Really liking Shafiq's calmness,steadiness and composure,unlike other rash,panic-mode batsmen we have.

kinda reminds u of a legend eh

 

[Sledger]

He can be an absolutely devestating article.

 

[MB]

"Pakistan not really convincing, I say that because they haven't looked to take the opposition apart with their hitting." - Rameez Raja

Seriously? What a silly comment. Why hit out when you can coast there comfortably at minimal risk?

 

[Munna]

wasn't middle enough .. but direction was fine

 

[Afridi_Fan]

asad shafiq .. 1986 mein karachi mein paida hua ... 2007 mein karachi whites se inho ne apne first class career ka aaghaaz kia .. :mib

[Sherazkhalid]

Two fours in a row.

 

[Sledger]

NRR going up.

 

[Fireworks11]

Asad turning it on. Why not? This is life.

 

[AZ]

 

[Khan88]

Yeah Rameez, Shehzad can't occupy the crease. Terrible footwork, bad temperament, and no patience. All he wants to do is slog. Open with Hafeez and Kami!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Highest ODI score. Shafiq

 

[JilaWatan]

shfiq going nanners

 

[Sledger]

Take the PP!!!

 

[Wasim_Waqar]

2 fours wooo come on!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Dropped the ball.

 

[amirfanforlife]

Oooo, close!

 

[saajidrox]

Shafiq turning it on

 

[ZenBowman]

Solid win coming up, well played. Will Shafique play the next game?

 

[JilaWatan]

Highest ODI score. Shafiq

i was hoping for that

 

[Batman]

Pakistan | 3/139 | 30 Overs | Need 23 runs to win from 48 balls | Asad 62*

11 off the over!

 

[Iqbilla]

Pure Talent !!!

 

[pakbl10]

That was silly!

 

[Sledger]

Take the PP and SLOG.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

23 needed now.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

139/3

 

[Bhaijaan]

Asad has improved his average by 5 runs

 

[JilaWatan]

Solid win coming up, well played. Will Shafique play the next game?

shafiq*

 

[Sherazkhalid]

How bou't we take the PP here and finish the game.

 

[ZAK]

139/3.

 

[Eagle_Eye]

Solid win coming up, well played. Will Shafique play the next game?

who knows..... never underestimate the power of the Akmals!!

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Asad has improved his average by 5 runs

Only if he doesn't get out.

 

[Dreamer]

Gilchristesque.

He didn't drop anything today...but that doesn't mean anything he may have some decent matches now and then but he'll always keep missing chances.

That is under-statement. :kami

Kaka wasn't doing too bad actually. Took two catches and even made a direct hit at the non strikers end. Still too early to call.

Lol...I'll take it. Given that there will probably be no replacement, hopefully he'll gain some confidence and make Gilly proud in the knockout rounds. :kami

 

[Wasim_Waqar]

Sledger, no need trust me to take PP. They'll probably just knock one up in the air.

I find spinners are easier to face when men are outside the circle

 

[nads_rocks]

Why not take the powerplay and knock off the remaining runs in 3 overs!!!

 

[Munna]

so we'll be having 3 batsmen now who can control and occupy the whole innings inshaAllah ... younis misbah and shafiq!

hopefully afridi will be flexible to split them properly according to the match situations!

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Well I am relieved that we are almost about to progress to the next round in the WC, after two first round exit.

 

[Sledger]

Ball change. Message should come out saying take the PP.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

139/3 in 30 overs

 

[JilaWatan]

Shafiq for Man of the Match?

 

[farsiddiqui]

Take the PP and SLOG.

Why slog when you can hit elegant ground shots for fours and win easily?

 

[amirfanforlife]

3 runs taken

 

[Bilsher007]

Asalaam alikum wr wb,


Ray price has bowled really price, afridi was foolish to play a cut shot to a straight full delivery from price.



Pakistan need to sort out it's batting order especially the opening combination which is having a negative effect on the rest of the lineup due to failures in every match to date. Kamran needs to brought back as an opener to play alongside hafeez followed by shafique, younis , misbah, razzak, afridi, ajmal, riaz, gul and akhter. If umar akmal is fit to play then we need to decide whether we want to drop shafique or contiune playing one fast bowler less as we have which i don't really like.



What do u guys think what line up should pakistan play from next match onwards ?

 

[Afridi_Fan]

YK, good running takes 3.

 

[saajidrox]

YK good running

 

[Sherazkhalid]

20 runs to QF.

 

[Munna]

shafiq doing sissy running there

 

[tallashk]

For the people who saw the first innings, was there a marked improved by Kakmal?

i didn't wach the first innings but i can assure you today he was safe...but i can tell you when it comes to a good team , he goes dodgie.. and you will find out in pak vs aus and in QF.. he will do the followings
1- leak runs behind the stumps
2- miss stumpings / run outs
3- drop catches
4- get some one run out while batting
5- get himself out shortly after trying to get some one else run out first.

he did 2-3 already and 5 vs nz and sl. if i dont forgot he got some one runout in this world cup but i dont rem it exactly..
keep watching..

 

[Sledger]

Sledger, no need trust me to take PP. They'll probably just knock one up in the air.

The way they're playing, they seem to want to hit some shots now. Might as well take it imo.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Nice tickle by Younis

2 runs

 

[Afridi_Fan]

2 more to YK.

 

[ace4rmspace]

Shafiq does have an air of in the way he operates

 

[ScotRaz]

Ball change. Message should come out saying take the PP.

Lets just pray the message is not from !

 

[Sledger]

Why slog when you can hit elegant ground shots for fours and win easily?

Yes.. well play fast basically.

 

[saajidrox]

Shehzad learn from shafiq how to play and manage a innings

 

[Sherazkhalid]

18 runs to QF.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Out of reach of the bowler.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

In the air a chance but well bowled!

 

[saajidrox]

Chance

walaikum assalam

we shall come to that thread later inshAllah

 

[Sledger]

Oooh, good effort by the bowler.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

YK trying his best to give his wicket.

 

[ScotRaz]

Shehzad learn from shafiq how to play and manage a innings

He should take out those badger streaks out of hiar and go back to black, he was a much better player with normal black hair

 

[Amjid Javed]

Just 18 needed for 1/4 final place now!

 

[AZ]

YK play a shot FFS!

 

[GOAT]

Pakistan | 3/144 | 31 Overs | Need 18 runs to win from 42 balls | Asad 65*

5 off the over!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

18 needed from 7 overs.
