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

[Darkness]

With Maxwell & Zampa almost certain in WC squad, Aussies are trying to cover the SLAO spin overs from Finch.

Finch > Yasir

Harris and malik are better in odis than yasir shah

 

[castortroy]

I think Sarfaraz isn’t technically solid enough to be consistent as an opener. The best he has been is at no 4,5 but with so many middle order options I think he might have to bat low.

Hasnain not even played a game and already an automatic selection

 

[Pete Rose]

He has a few international fifties actually. He took Malinga to the cleaners in 2015.

In 2015 his main issue was leg spin bowling.

I discount all Pakistani performances against Sri Lanka completely

 

[Boi]

Water boy tired already asking for a drink

 

[Chokli]

Not looking good, these boys just don't inspire any confidence

Will probably get a respectable 230-240 if we're lucky

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Rizwan looking well set for a 100.

 

[Chokli]

Hasnain not even played a game and already an automatic selection

Can't do worse than Amir

 

[Titan24]

If only Umar can forget about hitting the ball in the air until the last 10 overs. He wastes his wicket by trying to hit in the air. He has enough shots to score grounded boundaries.

 

[Madplayer]

Junior looking focussed today. Needs to play grounded shots only till he reaches a 60-70.

 

[Mueez]

I have a feeling Faheem will score a 70+ in today’s match if he bats.

 

[TeymurBlake]

They eating up too many dot balls.

 

[Pakpak]

I have a feeling Faheem will score a 70+ in today’s match if he bats.

I will eat my hat

 

[castortroy]

When umar akmal first burst into the scene he looked very good technically but over the years he has lost that

 

[TeymurBlake]

Finch could well finish his 10 over quota with the way he's bowling.

 

[castortroy]

Allowing finch to get away with murder

Umar akmal is struggling

 

[JibranAnsari]

Pathetic batting against finch.

 

[Darkness]

I have a feeling Faheem will score a 70+ in today’s match if he bats.

Which will get him another year or so like the one he hit in warm up games in ct lol

 

[Chokli]

Nice to see Ramiz and Waqar commentating together

 

[Madplayer]

I have a feeling Faheem will score a 70+ in today’s match if he bats.

I can understand. Mujhe bhi kabhi kabhi feeling ati hai k mai lottery jeetunga 100 crore ki.

 

[Pete Rose]

At the moment, it looks like Umar Akmal is learning on his bat as a way to hold him up

 

[Mueez]

Mujhe bhi kabhi kabhi feeling ati hai k mai lottery jeetunga 100 crore ki.

Bhai that’s haraam...

 

[Darkness]

Finch could well finish his 10 over quota with the way he's bowling.

And I was thinking they'll smash the part timer

 

[imshally81]

 

[Adijazz1706]

I will eat my hat

Leave some of it for me

 

[JibranAnsari]

Lol , tailunt goes.

 

[Titan24]

It was 3rd time Umar tried that

 

[Madplayer]

At the moment, it looks like Umar Akmal is learning on his bat as a way to hold him up

Gone now..holds out at midwicket fence. Some things never change.

 

[IAJ]

Finch has bowled 4 overs, taken 1 wicket and gone foe only 12 runs.

And Pakistan are not playing a genuine ODI spinner.

 

[castortroy]

Wow can't believe how many soft dismissal on this track which is a 350 pitch

Game over

 

[Boi]

Typical Umar. He will never learn.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Idiotic shot.

Pak will probably end up with 250 on a 320 pitch.

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Lol Finch not even bowling Maxwell who seems like a better spinner than Lyon.

 

[imshally81]

Spinners Basher Malik in...

 

[Titan24]

It wasnt even required

 

[JibranAnsari]

This should be the last match of umar akmal. He gets out the same way every match.

 

[Mueez]

Malik in.

 

[Pakpak]

Leave some of it for me

Though man I'd love it if he did but today seems like a 220 collapse.

May every word of mine be wrong but thats what I feel like

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Self destruction from Umar continues.

 

[Chokli]

Looks like no Umar for the World Cup.

He's fine for T20s

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Typical Umar. He will never learn.

Mickey Arthur must be going mad sitting there.

 

[Darkness]

Spinners Basher Malik in...

It's a feast for him lol

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Wth was that

 

[yasir]

He was itching to play that shot from ball one... These are the reasons UA fails more often than not at international level

 

[Markhor]

There goes "best batsman in the team" [MENTION=134608]Hawkeye[/MENTION].

 

[TeymurBlake]

Umar Akmal doing an Akmal.

 

[Titan24]

28 overs to go, you are 3 down why would you play such a shot

 

[Madplayer]

Bhai that’s haraam...

Sirf feeling ati hai bhai. Aur kuch nahi

 

[castortroy]

This should be the last match of umar akmal. He gets out the same way every match.

Nah he needs to be in the team. See how he goes in the other 3 games

 

[MMHS]

Umar Akmal needs mental treatment. Today, even RR was over 5 after 22 overs.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Another loss on the cards

 

[Shafi]

Umar Akmal was, is or will never be a reliable batsman. Waste of time to invest on this hack

 

[JibranAnsari]

Pakistan has trouble finding good batsmen , haris and babar are liabilities when it comes to up the ante and then their are guys like akmal who can strike well but usually dont last for more than 5 overs.

 

[Titan24]

Umar was playing more responsibly for QG than he has shown today. Looks angry and trying to show his talent but this is not how its done.

 

[Green Patriot]

Another embarrasing loss coming.

 

[Madplayer]

Looks like Umar akmal will never curb his disease to play aerial shots.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Probably fail to reach 250 today on this great batting pitch .. another loss on the cards disgrace

 

[castortroy]

Problem is that we don't have many batters that can change gears. Need to persist with Akmal

 

[GreenKhan]

Typical Umar Akmal . But wait he is playing in the wrong position . He’s a number 6 batsman .

Oh actually he should open as that will automatically give him a brain transplant .

 

[Titan24]

Rizwan is the key here for bext 17-20 overs atleast

 

[Ali_Pakistan]

Trademark Umar Akmal dismissal !

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Too many good for nothing batsmen in pak team

 

[Boi]

Expect a run out with these two out there

 

[castortroy]

Wow finch figures are hilarious

 

[Darkness]

Damn finch is about to complete of his quota

 

[JibranAnsari]

Umar Akmal needs mental treatment. Today, even RR was over 5 after 22 overs.

Dont tell me that you didnt expect it , after getting out in the last match he said that he regrets the way he got out because the team management gave him the role to play out the overs and he does it again.

 

[Shafi]

Mickey Arthur must be going mad sitting there.

Don't really worry about Micky's reaction. He didn't push for Umer Khan's inclusion over Yasir, Haris Rauf over Abbas, Saud over U Akmal etc.

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Finch bowling nicely on a belter.

Even Umar's dismissal has to do to with the dots he played against Finch.

 

[Green Patriot]

Richardson's injury did us no benefit.
Finch being treated like a legend.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Treating finch like Ashwin. Blimey pak do make ordinary bowlers look world class

 

[Chokli]

[MENTION=1650]Usman Chadda[/MENTION]

See what happens when you don't have batsmen that can stay at the wicket?

 

[Titan24]

If Umar is to play such shots why not try him as an opener where there are only 2 fielders outside the circle.

 

[imshally81]

 

[Chokli]

Expect a run out with these two out there

With both batsmen at the same end

 

[castortroy]

What's the latest with sharjeel Khan?

 

[Boi]

If Umar is to play such shots why not try him as an opener where there are only 2 fielders outside the circle.

It’s the last hope for him.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

When wil this illness of playing to many dots be erases from pak team. Pak the only team in world cricket that plays so many dots

 

[Pete Rose]

This is fattest I have seen Umar Akmal in international cricket. Safe to say that the selectors ignored fitness criteria to get him in - he huffed and puffed for most of his innings

 

[TeymurBlake]

After these two all we have is Imad and Faheem.

Ouch

 

[yasir]

All batsmen gave away their wickets softly... when management puts them under pressure to score they give away wickets, otherwise they play at snails pace

 

[Titan24]

Shot from Malik. Lyon is treated like a part timer while Finch is the legend
