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

[babajee]

List A GOAT showing his class

 

[Boi]

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

 

[TeymurBlake]

Shan playing some the pull shot with authority.

 

[Markhor]

Some nice driving.

 

[Titan24]

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.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Need 320 today looks better pitch than last match

 

[Gullycricket]

As much as i support Imam but have to say Shan is massive upgrade over him.

 

[Darkness]

Partnership looking good

 

[Shafi]

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

 

[Omer2002]

Shan has already done enough to take imams slot for world cup

 

[Markhor]

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

Yep, would like to see a top four of Fakhar, Shan, Babar and Haris.

 

[MMHS]

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

 

[Omer2002]

oh dear

 

[Boi]

Damnit Shan. Was looking so good.

 

[babajee]

He was looking so good

 

[Omer2002]

soft soft dismissal

 

[Hasan123]

Slightly unlucky.

 

[Green Patriot]

Oh dear.Shan looked incredibly dissappinted.
Poor shot though.

 

[babajee]

Big test for Akmal here... 3rd ODI century up for grabs.

 

[Boi]

Lmao Rizwan comes in ahead of Akmal.

 

[Darkness]

Damnit Shan. Was looking so good.

He isn't doing justice to his talent

 

[Titan24]

Big test for Akmal here... 3rd ODI century up for grabs.

Or first for Rizwan.

 

[Gullycricket]

nazr e adam

 

[Abdullah719]

Rizwan

 

[Markhor]

Big blow, Shan was looking good.

 

[Hawkeye]

Yep, would like to see a top four of Fakhar, Shan, Babar and Haris.

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.

 

[babajee]

Or first for Rizwan.

Oh my

 

[Green Patriot]

Rizwan?
Chalo bhai.Hope we get too 200.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Rubbish

 

[Markhor]

10 off 30 comes in.

 

[Hawkeye]

Rizwan

Mickey Arthur, what a think tank we have.

Was ideal situation for our best batsman Umar Akmal.

 

[Darkness]

Did rizwan just do that XD

 

[Sadozai]

It's time for Rizwan to play a big inning

 

[Titan24]

Its better to try Rizwan to build the innings rather than wasting him down as he surely cant hiy well.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Test match rizwan in

 

[Pakpak]

Its better to try Rizwan to build the innings rather than wasting him down as he surely cant hiy well.

Sadly I see a 10 off 25 coming from him.

 

[Gullycricket]

How this guy scored trucloaad of runs in A matches is beyond me

 

[TeymurBlake]

Shan was looking good, looking like he was gonna score big.

 

[MMHS]

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.

 

[sindhiboy]

finally, an opportunity for rizwan

 

[Titan24]

Field setting by Finch for that Shan dismissal was impressive and also was well executed by Richardson

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Need to go after stoinis

 

[Darkrai]

Malik is beyond pathetic.

 

[Titan24]

Need to go after stoinis

Already on the backfoot with 2 wickets gone inside 10

 

[Gullycricket]

Rizwan

 

[Green Patriot]

This is a pretty good pitch.
Need 300+

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Rizwan hitting straight drives is the testimony that this is 350+ wicket.

 

[TeymurBlake]

Rizwan should really rotate the strike man.

 

[Markhor]

Despite the loss of wickets we've seen some pleasant shots this morning.

 

[Hasan123]

Umar Akmal should have come in ahead of Rizwan.

 

[Hasan123]

Haris should be rotating strike more at this stage.

 

[Hasan123]

Lyon into the attack. Need to try and put him under pressure.

 

[a_tahir]

Sadly I see a 10 off 25 coming from him.

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

 

[shah_1]

Beautiful 4

 

[Hasan123]

Quality shot.

 

[mak36]

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

Handscomb can keep and play ahead of Carey.

Also five is too early for Maxwell.

 

[shah_1]

Its now or never for Rizwan

 

[maddgenius]

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?

 

[Abdullah]

Yep, would like to see a top four of Fakhar, Shan, Babar and Haris.

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

 

[Titan24]

Hopefully Haris can remain fit till the end of WC. He along with Babar is undoubtedly the best batsman we have.

 

[Darkness]

Finally someone hitting against stonis... Should also try to hit sensibly against maxwell too if we want to get to 300

 

[Boi]

Another fielder taken out by the UAE outfield.

 

[Hasan123]

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.

 

[castortroy]

What a flat deck

 

[Green Patriot]

Poor richardson.i hope he isnt injured.

 

[TeymurBlake]

Rizwan needs to score this series, he's only seen as a back-up for Sarfaraz so he needs to score runs.

 

[Pakpak]

Oh man feel awful about Richarilson.

 

[Abdullah719]

Oh no Richardson

Hope he recovers soon.

 

[MMHS]

Rameez doesn't know Kumar batted at 7-8 with an International average over 20 .... and both played in similar time!!!!

 

[kingusama92]

Definitely looks like it dislocated. Ouch.

 

[Titan24]

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.

 

[Markhor]

Oh no, Richardson's done his bowling arm.

 

[yasir]

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.

 

[Pakpak]

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

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.

 

[TeymurBlake]

Oh man Richardson, hopefully its not serious. Australia needed him this series.

 

[shah_1]

Another fielder taken out by the UAE outfield.

That was hardly due to outfield. It was awful landing, all the pressure on the elbow

 

[Markhor]

You gotta let those go, Richardson had a small chance of saving that.

 

[RobinJay]

Blimey. Was doing so well, poor Richardson. Hopefully he recovers soon.

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

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.

 

[Titan24]

Richardson was bowing beautifully, always unfortunate to see an athlete go out like this
