Pakistan vs Australia | 2nd ODI | Sharjah | Mar 24, 2019 | Pakistan Innings

Shan needs to play at the WC. He’s in sublime touch. Timing the pants off everything.

You're asking too many common sense questions from our dud think tank.

Some of the tactics or the lack of them from Mickey in last couple of years makes me wonder how this guy coached 3 of the top teams in the world. Then I realize its the first ever time he is coching a subcontinental team and dont know much about how to go about the conditions here and its not his fault he was appointed however, he hasnt learned much as a coach about the conditions and formations of the teams for these conditions.

Funny thing is against SRL we played one spinner in tests in UAE while they were playing 3, now in this ODI series in UAE Aus is Playing two specialist spinners till now understanding the conditiins well while we are trying to make Yasir revolutionalize his ODI bowling and other spinner we have is an all rounder.

We could have tested Umer Khan, Haris Rauf, Saud, Usama/K Gulam but here we are giving chances to Yasir, Abbas....
Really disappointed.

How will they fit him and Smith.They have everyone in form right now

It's Steve Smith, he'll fit in him self - then someone will miss out, most probably Handscomb.

Warner, Finch*
Khawaja, Smith, Maxwell, Carey+
Mitch/Stoinis
Cummins, Strac, Jhye/Josh, Zampa

That's really weak.

Top 2 need to be solid timers who can accelerate at will and give us quick starts during the power play.

Fakhar is a hack and will fail 80% of the time.

Shan is mostly an accumulator like Imam.
 
Its better to try Rizwan to build the innings rather than wasting him down as he surely cant hiy well.
 
They are trying to bring Rizwan in batting form, which isn't a bad call, but not at the cost of Umar, who should have batted at 4.
 
Field setting by Finch for that Shan dismissal was impressive and also was well executed by Richardson
 
Despite the loss of wickets we've seen some pleasant shots this morning.

Handscomb can keep and play ahead of Carey.

Also five is too early for Maxwell.

3 lefties at the top of the order is just more signs of how clueless our think tank is. In these conditions you need to try and have a right hand and left hand combination.

You need to play your best XI regardless of batting hand.

England play Roy, Hales, Bairstow and Root in top 4. They're clueless too?

Post World cup yes but currently haris running between the wickets is atrocious and he will take too long to get going at number 4. We need more urgency at that number- which is why I want sarfaraz to bat there (or even maybe malik ) to take on the spin.

Top 2 or 3 is fine for haris as you will have dot balls and get more boundaries in first ten
 
Hopefully Haris can remain fit till the end of WC. He along with Babar is undoubtedly the best batsman we have.
 
Finally someone hitting against stonis... Should also try to hit sensibly against maxwell too if we want to get to 300
 
These outfields are a joke but why would Richardson dive with a Ashes and WC coming up? So sad if he misses out because of injury.
 
Rizwan needs to score this series, he's only seen as a back-up for Sarfaraz so he needs to score runs.
 
Rameez doesn't know Kumar batted at 7-8 with an International average over 20 .... and both played in similar time!!!!
 
Strike rotation from Aus was extraordinary in first ODI, I dont know if its because of our field setting or pure brilliance from them. Hopefully we can do the similar thing in this match onwards as this would alow us to get good score on board more often than not.
 
Number of dots are way too many, Pakistan still plays 1980s cricket. We cannot rotate when 5 fielders or more in circle, all batsmen have this issue... 140 dot balls last innings was the diff, today again same problem, too many dots, no rotation yet... if they have rake 40 less dots they would have been 320 Scott right there.

Sadly people are getting too influenced by Rizwan’s 10 off 30.
Look at his list a record. He’s better than some of u say
Click to expand...

Noone cares about A list record when someone is playing for their national team. He can score 50,000 runs in List A but it doesn't matter if he remains a dud for the national team.

I hope he proves me wrong today.
 
Oh man Richardson, hopefully its not serious. Australia needed him this series.
 
You gotta let those go, Richardson had a small chance of saving that.
 
Haris has that Misbah attitude! Who can carry the whole batting line up with conventional style. He can become best batsmen if he learns to accelerate his innings.
 
Richardson was bowing beautifully, always unfortunate to see an athlete go out like this
