[a_tahir]

I thought it was haris.

 

[Pakhs]

tailender done his job.. Fake all rounder.

 

[Gullycricket]

Well played WWE superstar EDGE

 

[AFM]

Rana jee again proving his batting credentials.

Can Harry bring his ton?

 

[srh]

Faheem Edge Zindabad

 

[TeymurBlake]

Gotten quite a few edges has Haris Sohail.

 

[Gullycricket]

Send Ronaldo

 

[a_tahir]

tailender done his job.. Fake all rounder.

Pseudo-allrounder

 

[Syed1]

Fahim's bat is all edges

 

[ILcricket]

270+ a winning total on this pitch ?

 

[topspin]

Only Umar Akmal can hold his head up after this innings, unlike his peers he's batted selflessly for the team, yet the usual suspects are coming up with the "same brainless Umar Akmal" jibes, All the other batsmen have been sedate/substandard on a 300 wicket albeit on a slow surface.

His knock is the difference between 250 and 270-280 which is competitive rather than 20% below par.

 

[Green Patriot]

Come on Haris.
Get that century now.

 

[saeedhk]

Fahim is a joke. Was trying to defend in the 46th over. Players like him, Rizwan have no game awreness at all.

 

[Tabishbeigh]

It was painfull to watch , the worst innings by a number 6 .

 

[babajee]

Faheem needs more chances up the order. He has all the shots.

 

[Syed1]

I'm waiting for the day when Imad ever hits a ton, he will throw off his helmet and do the Ronaldo celebration

 

[srh]

most runs scored in edges in the last 10 overs?

 

[Gullycricket]

Ronaldo will pick some fight or sledging today.Cant forget him against Chris Morris

 

[Darkness]

Imad seems to have power game at least

 

[Syed1]

Faheem needs more chances up the order. He has all the shots.

Yeah all the shots like outside edge, inside edge, under edge and top edge.

 

[topspin]

Faheem needs more chances up the order. He has all the edges.

Corrected

 

[AFM]

World Cup Top Order:

1) Fakhar
2) Imam / Shan
3) Babar
4) Haris
5) Umer
6) Professor
7) Captain

 

[srh]

i hate this 0, 0, 4, 0, scores

 

[j_kazmi]

I swear imad wasim only has two scoring shots.

 

[ExpressPacer]

He has edged few boundaries hence you can't see it. 30 balls left with 6 wickets in hand, and they are playing in Sharjah - where is the bloody lofted shots?

He edged a few boundaries TRYING to hit boundaries. The fact that he got edges were luck but him trying shows it isn't selfish. Even if he tries for a big shot and plays a dot or gets out, its not selfish. Selfish is blocking purposely and looking for singles consistently at a stage like this.

 

[saeedhk]

Faheem needs more chances up the order. He has all the shots.

The best post.

 

[Darkness]

Singles at this stage is just not gonna do it

 

[Amjid Javed]

Haris playing for himself rather then trying to push team score anywhere near 300

 

[ExpressPacer]

Umar Akmal is such a character...

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Harry is interested in his century.

 

[srh]

Haris Sohail has the Tendulkar bug of putting his 100 over team's insterest?

 

[Gullycricket]

I swear imad wasim only has two scoring shots.

His bowling also has one dimension

 

[Iffitheking]

Paksitan will be 30 or 40 runs short. My prediction is Australia will do it in 40 overs

 

[haris93]

last couple of overs and haris sohail taking singles to get to his century ! Top level SELFISH INNINGS this

 

[ManFan]

Faheem needs more chances up the order. He has all the shots.

Height of delusion.

He’s had two years and he can’t middle shots?

 

[MMHS]

He is now pushing it for singles FGS, and we are in 49th over.

 

[PerfectionPersonified]

Fahim was effective

 

[ManFan]

Paksitan will be 30 or 40 runs short. My prediction is Australia will do it in 40 overs

Not a chance; Australia, if they win, will win after 45 overs.

 

[Markhor]

I am delighted Mohammed Rizwan has been shown his true batting place.

Infact even Amir and Yasir should be promoted ahead of him. Rizwan can reprise the Wasim Bari/specialist WK role.

 

[Gullycricket]

Ronaldooooo

 

[shah_1]

The best post.

Give him no 6 slot for next four ODIs

 

[srh]

I am delighted Mohammed Rizwan has been shown his true batting place.

why not just kick him out of the team? he is useless

 

[shah_1]

Haris is selfish

 

[Omer2002]

no where near enough ..strange innings i suppose something to bowl at but no way near enough for a small sharjah pitch

 

[Tabishbeigh]

Faheem Ashraf needs an edge insurance not a life insurance

 

[ManFan]

Sohail has sealed his WC place.

 

[srh]

mubarakan to Haris Sohail for his selfish 100

 

[HGhazanfar]

Abbas and Faheem will be the only bowlers to threaten for wickets, Imad will try and contain, Amir is hopeless, Yasir can be expensive.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

There was no intent from Haris after 80 onwards to score any big shot.

 

[Gullycricket]

mubarakan to Haris Sohail for his selfish 100

Wait for match to finish.This is potentially match winning innings

 

[angeldsoul]

Joke Harris sack him fir playing that single would remove him from team it should be all out for team in last couple overs not selfish hundred.....complete tool

 

[Syed1]

I mean Sohail's ton could have been faster but it did come off at 90SR.... Just 5-7 ODIs ago posters here were praising Imam for a ton at 70 odd SR. I guess posters can accept whatever shortcomings of the players they like.

 

[saeedhk]

Until people like Faheem, Rizwan are in the team. We can’t do anything.

 

[ExpressPacer]

Have always backed my boy Imad. Good stuff, as usual. He's gained weight but I think that helps with the power game.

 

[Omer2002]

As you can see at will Imam is clearing the infield now...no aggression at all innings

 

[Rayyman]

If Imad came in at 5 we would have scored 330+.

 

[Syed1]

TBH Imad isn't half bad with the bat, he always seems to do something or the other. Better than Shadab, Faheem and Nawaz.

 

[Shafi]

Faheem wasted a lot of runs here. We could have 300 runs if Imad sent earlier.

 

[Omer2002]

Haris wants to go no out pathetic...had a chance to hit in the air and he .....

 

[babajee]

Height of delusion.

He’s had two years and he can’t middle shots?

He can.

 

[Syed1]

Charbi power

I have no issues with his innings.

But its obvious his intention was a 100 after he reached 80.

It shouldnt be so obvious.

 

[ManFan]

Haris’ fitness is atrocious; can’t lift a wasp after he reaches 75.

 

[shah_1]

Imad is the best no 7 we have unless Faheem shows more with the bat

 

[srh]

There was no intent from Haris after 80 onwards to score any big shot.

he is selfish player; remember he hide his injury in test tour when Pakistan was touring South Africa under Misbah? When Misbah need to make a change in test team, he could because Haris was carrying an injury

 

[Gullycricket]

Ronaldooo>>>>>Klusner

 

[Syed1]

Not a half bad score this... all thanks for Klusener's edges and then Imad's power hitting.

 

[Shafi]

Faheem's poor innings may cost us this game.

 

[saeedhk]

I swear imad wasim only has two scoring shots.

Doesnt matter As long as he scores.
And having shots doesnt mean anything if you dont have the intent. Pwople say Shehzad has the most shots.

 

[coy0607]

Wait for match to finish.This is potentially match winning innings

Thats not the way to judge this. Amir might come get a hatrick in his first over and wrap up the match. That doesn't mean this is a good 100

Haris was understandably cautious at the start but should have picked it up around over 35.. played selfishly

 

[shah_1]

Good score

 

[HGhazanfar]

Imad won't be able to play these shots against good death bowlers, this was evident in the champions trophy final when he stuggled.

 

[Gullycricket]

Some lessons for WC from this game:Malik needs to go before WC
Faheem should never play ahead of Imad and should be kept on side lines

 

[Syed1]

Tbh if Imad would have been slightly better spinner he would have been this team's MVP.


Always shows up with the bat when needed.

 

[Gullycricket]

Imad won't be able to play these shots against good death bowlers, this was evident in the champions trophy final when he stuggled.

REally he smashed them if i remember correctly

 

[Amjid Javed]

Tough chase coming up for Aussies, but in saying that pakistan should have got atleast another 30/40 runs here.

 

[srh]

cricinfo is nowadays getting more technical problems when its Pakistan's game

 

[Markhor]

Guys leave the selfish criticism aside.

Haris Sohail scoring a ton reduces the chances of Mohammad Hafeez or Shoaib Malik hogging a middle order spot in ENG.

 

[j_kazmi]

Doesnt matter As long as he scores.
And having shots doesnt mean anything if you dont have the intent. Pwople say Shehzad has the most shots.

Ofcourse I’m a big advocate for Imad myself. He may not be perfect but he’s the best hitter Pakistan has so he should definety be in the World Cup squad.

 

[Pakhs]

How does fake allrounder comes ahead of Imad?
