Pakistan vs Australia | 3rd ODI | Abu Dhabi | Mar 27, 2019 | Australian Innings

[a_tahir]

Finch is so passionate and calm. Our batsmen would have thrown their wickets if they scored back to back centuries.

Not if you're babar azam. *Insert Babar's face*

 

[Omer2002]

In one days i like Haris bowling better than Imads

 

[Hasan123]

Be interesting to see what the spinners do on this pitch.

 

[Titan24]

Who thinks Amir would be great here with swing on offer? We must realise amir played on roads compared to today. Not Amir fan but feel for him not playing on this pitch today

I feel that as I said in post #65 however I believe Amir should be working on his pace and should be around 140 kph more often than not to be decent as well in conditions which dont offer much.

 

[Hasan123]

Good shot.

 

[Omer2002]

Why does junaid keep going around the wicket when is doing ok over....

 

[Omer2002]

Just keep in mind before slating Amir that this is completely different pitch to graveyard of Sharjah...wait till cummins and co bowl on here...

 

[RobinJay]

Same here but it could be worse for World Cup squad and post World Cup. Inzi is very bad as a selector but I fear his replacement will be worse.

sign, how miserable things are for us. 'Not as bad' and 'could be worse' has become 'good enough' for us.

 

[Mueez]

Hasnain back in the attack.

 

[Hasan123]

Handscomb has a strike rate of over 90 and he isn’t a power hitter. He rotate strikes well and hit the balls into gaps. We need batters with these skill set.

 

[sindhiboy]

if handscomb scores another 100 or 50, don't see smith coming to the side

 

[Omer2002]

Ermm this guy handscomb looks in good touch..

 

[Omer2002]

HAsnain been put to the test for the first time...

 

[shariqnoor]

People are hyping Hasnain but he is not ready right now. Just because he is pacy doesn't mean he's good. In fact there was nothing in his PSL performances that warranted a selection. Doesn't swing, doesn't seam. Can't see how he can succeed at the international level without those traits.

 

[Shafi]

Hasnain needs to work on is bowling. He keeps leaking runs.

 

[a_tahir]

Hasnain SMH

 

[Hasan123]

4 cricketing shots and 4 bouandries. And PP thinks LO cricket is about power lol.

 

[sindhiboy]

massacre by handscomb

 

[Rinnegan Sasuke]

Oof, poor Hasnain.

 

[Afhan Ali]

Husnain is another M sami

 

[Hasan123]

If it was a lesser player than Steve Smith, no way would Handscomb be dropped.

 

[Afhan Ali]

Another psl hype player

Lmao, writing off a 19 year old pacer in his second game in unfavourable conditions.

 

[Shafi]

I think Australia will win this match by 100+ runs. Our batting is just not good enough.

 

[Hasan123]

Other than pace and a bouncer to Finch, the honest truth is Hassnain hasn’t been that impressive. Our fans as usual have gone OTT. He is a work progress.

 

[Mueez]

Azhar Mehmood giving advice to Hasnain.

Good to see.

 

[Titan24]

Hasnain is just an 18-19 year old kid with not much experience of even FC. Such overs were gonna take place, he will get better with time.

I remember ppl righting off Shaheen from his very first match of PSL

 

[Hasan123]

I’m not saying Hassnain can never be a good player but we need to give him some time and stop going OTT because of his pace.

 

[Ahson8]

Other than pace and a bouncer to Finch, the honest truth is Hassnain hasn’t been that impressive. Our fans as usual have gone OTT. He is a work progress.

Yeah, becsuse the rest of our bowlers are taking wickets left, right and centre

 

[sindhiboy]

what a shot by handscomb to get that 2 runs off junaid. this guy is getting better every game

 

[RobinJay]

I think the best thing to do is to let the guy play more than a couple of games before declaring him the next best thing or the worst ever lol. He obviously is talented but has stuff to work out.

 

[Hasan123]

Yeah, becsuse the rest of our bowlers are taking wickets left, right and centre

I didn’t say they have been lol.

 

[Hasan123]

Yasir into the attack.

 

[babajee]

Other than pace and a bouncer to Finch, the honest truth is Hassnain hasn’t been that impressive. Our fans as usual have gone OTT. He is a work progress.

He was shaping it in nicely to Marsh and was unlucky not to take his wicket.

 

[Mueez]

Yasir getting it to spin.

 

[Titan24]

Need atleast 1,2 wickets at the top for spinners to come into play. Yasir needs to capitalize on this opportunity as commies are saying

 

[Hasan123]

Decent start by Yasir.

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Would like to have slip in place for Finch against Yasir.

 

[Titan24]

I’m not saying Hassnain can never be a good player but we need to give him some time and stop going OTT because of his pace.

Yes some extreme reactions are unreal I agree but that take place in opposite direction as well with some players being completely written off as well while others being hyped to the moon. I guess fans need to find a grey area.

 

[Titan24]

Junaid averaging 23 in the last two years with 22 wickets in 16 games

 

[imshally81]

i liked DRS timer

 

[imshally81]

Junaid averaging 23 in the last two years with 22 wickets in 16 games

Better than Amir....

 

[Hasan123]

Junaid should get a run. If he performs poorly than he can be dropped. But I don’t get why he is dropped after having a good game lol? It seems as though there is more to this than meets the eye and Inzis motives have to be questioned.

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Hasnain will learn from time. He has all the tool to be a good pace bowler. Lets not jump to the conclusion here, he will get better, just need time to come out of the T20 bowling style, need to be patient and bowl the right areas and just stay focus., pace can for plenty but can demolish any line in few overs.

 

[imshally81]

260 is decent total on this surface.....

 

[Hasan123]

Yes some extreme reactions are unreal I agree but that take place in opposite direction as well with some players being completely written off as well while others being hyped to the moon. I guess fans need to find a grey area.

I think he should be kept away from playing too much T20s. He needs to play more FC cricket to improve.

 

[imshally81]

:

 

[Hasan123]

Finch has eyed Yasir up in every game.

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Pakistan to win today. we can chase 270 here.

 

[a_tahir]

Pakistan to win today. we can chase 270 here.

But the bowling...

 

[Titan24]

I think he should be kept away from playing too much T20s. He needs to play more FC cricket to improve.

In current FC structure I hope he joins a team which can manage him well otherwise I fear injuries.

 

[Titan24]

If Yasir cant even dominate today with 2 wickets taken in first 10 overs than I think he should respectfully retire from LOIs because at 32 I dont see much roam for improvement

 

[Hasan123]

Junaid has kept it tight.

 

[ILcricket]

270+ on here .

 

[lahoriyah1234]

But the bowling...

This pitch is a batting paradise. Bowling is not a world class we have atm. I still think we needed a good spin bowler here umar khan or bilal asif would been a good choice as well.

 

[Hasan123]

Always rated Handscomb. Won’t be long before he comes good in tests.

 

[Titan24]

Some solid batsmen throughout the lineup of Aussies. Pak needs to keep taking wickets to remain in the game

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Anything above 280 and Pakistan would struggle.

 

[coy0607]

If Yasir cant even dominate today with 2 wickets taken in first 10 overs than I think he should respectfully retire from LOIs because at 32 I dont see much roam for improvement

Inzamam should be the one who should quit. This is his fault, not Yasir's

it was an inexcusable selection the day the squad was announced, and grows stupider by the day

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Yasir Shah continues to show that he is not able to do what he can in Tests.

 

[Hasan123]

Yasir is too predictable for LO cricket.

 

[coy0607]

Pakistan to win today. �� we can chase 270 here.

I dunno, if the ball moves around in the evening they will crumble for under 200

 

[Titan24]

Inzamam should be the one who should quit. This is his fault, not Yasir's

it was an inexcusable selection the day the squad was announced, and grows stupider by the day

Inzi and Mickey should have been fired more than a year ago with some blatant blunders they did.

 

[Hasan123]

Imad into the attack.

 

[Omer2002]

I think Haris is better choice than Imad here

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Despite losing 2 wickets early, Australia have continued to keep a good RR of nearly 5 an over.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Yasir going at near 6 an over continues to bowl without being changed.

This should be his last over for now at least.

 

[Hasan123]

These 2 are looking comfortable.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

64 off 68 balls partnership between these two can be damaging if it carries on for another 10-15 overs.

 

[Titan24]

These 2 are looking comfortable.

Yasir and Imad both bowling flat with no spin or variations. Imad atleast is an allrounder while Yasir is playing as a specialist spinner

 

[Hasan123]

Finch was horribly out of form. Now Pakistan have gotten him well and truly back into form.

 

[Omer2002]

i think hasnain needs to come back for another spell..is it me or was that 8th over he bowled he looked stiff

 

[Deewana Mastana]

With Maxwell, Stoinis, Carey and Cummins yet to come, it can be quite belligerent in the last 10 overs.

 

[Hasan123]

If Yasir is going to play why not try and have attacking fields?

 

[Omer2002]

haris on good decision...

 

[Shafi]

Pakistan to win today. we can chase 270 here.

Australia will score over 320. Our batsmen cannot score over 230 chasing that much runs.

 

[Omer2002]

already a better over than yasir and imad...

 

[Shafi]

If Yasir cant even dominate today with 2 wickets taken in first 10 overs than I think he should respectfully retire from LOIs because at 32 I dont see much roam for improvement

Our players don't believe in retirement with grace. They need to be booted.

 

[Shaka81]

Yasir Shah is a trash LOI bowler. He has no skills for this form of the game. He can't buy a wicket and can't even keep run scoring down. Very poor selection by Inzi.

 

[Hasan123]

Handscomb is so good against spin.
