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

[Chokli]

Like I said wait till he faces death bowlers like Starc, Bumrah .. then you can evaluate his batting yourself.

Did you forget how bad he got exposed during the champions trophy final, the lad was an embarrassment, thank Hafeez otherwise you would be looking something 20-30 runs lower.

bro, i think most main batsmen would struggle to hit against starc and bumrah...

so i don't see what your point is.

 

[Pete Rose]

is Malik a total idiot?

why are the fast bowlers being held back at this point.. Shinwari has only bowled 4 overs

Well he has said it’s not about winning. He thinks his job is to be traffic warden

 

[Pete Rose]

They really have to stop these corny dandruff dances

 

[imshally81]

Better over by Yasir....

 

[Pete Rose]

Rizwan explaining the origins of the Durand line to Yasir

 

[Amjid Javed]

Need to get rid of finch and maxwell as both are capable of doing a lot of damage in the final 10 overs with the bat.

 

[IAJ]

If Shinwari is bowling so well, Cummins will be unplayable?

 

[Omer2002]

looks like finch will get the record..

 

[Green Patriot]

Get Finch out.

 

[jaf348]

Someone give Bazid a Red Bull, he sounds like he's about to fall asleep......

 

[Chokli]

aussie's looking to get 270-280

 

[a_tahir]

Finch's looking selfish

 

[ILcricket]

280 a winning score here ?

 

[Chokli]

malik hell bent on bowling yasir for his 10

 

[shariqnoor]

66 strike rate for finch. God forbid if any Pakistani opener played with that strike rate.

 

[Chokli]

280 a winning score here ?

280 would be ideal but i think 250 should be enough for pakistanis to crumble against

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Malik is such a headless captain

 

[Chokli]

66 strike rate for finch. God forbid if any Pakistani opener played with that strike rate.

they'd keep crying about "modrun batsmen!! we need modrun batsmen!!!!!!!"

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Finch's looking selfish

Pitch is not as easy to bat on as Sharjah. Ball is stopping a bit and not coming ok nicley. 280 is a winning score here

 

[lahoriyah1234]

280 would be ideal but i think 250 should be enough for pakistanis to crumble against

You just hoping for pakistan to crumble, what kind of fan are you? No matter which 11 players playing one must hope they win.

 

[ILcricket]

280 would be ideal but i think 250 should be enough for pakistanis to crumble against

anything in the pitch or usual pessimism ?

 

[Chokli]

You just hoping for pakistan to crumble, what kind of fan are you? No matter which 11 players playing one must hope they win.

it's the truth, not to mention 10 years worth of history to back me up.

 

[Chokli]

anything in the pitch or usual pessimism ?

it's the usual abu dhabi pitch.

250+ has only been chased thrice -

versus australia 5th odi 2009
versus south africa 2nd odi 2010
versus afghanistan asia cup 2018

 

[Omer2002]

260 is a winning score us for with the amount of spin and the amount of pacers they have

 

[lahoriyah1234]

they'd keep crying about "modrun batsmen!! we need modrun batsmen!!!!!!!"

I don’t understand the new trend of Modern batsmen. Lets be honest how many times teams are scoring over 350 may be 2 in a 5 match series. So all this modern batsmen style of batting is just pure myth. Anyone who can play at a strike rate of 90 is a good batsmen in my opinion. Pakistan batsmen have been quite good in setting platform we are just lacking lower order hitting power. Asif ali should be backed for this.

 

[Shafi]

I think 220 is more than enough for Australia.

 

[topspin]

280 would be ideal but i think 250 should be enough for pakistanis to crumble against

Yeah easily, it was at this very ground where Pakistan failed to chase 240 against Bangladesh. They literally limped to 200.

 

[ILcricket]

it's the usual abu dhabi pitch.

250+ has only been chased thrice -

versus australia 5th odi 2009
versus south africa 2nd odi 2010
versus afghanistan asia cup 2018

i see . seems like 3-0 here then .

 

[lahoriyah1234]

it's the truth, not to mention 10 years worth of history to back me up.

You can expect them to pull of 1 win here tonight then, it can happen history is history.

 

[Omer2002]

damn why do aussies have a review ...couldnt have been end of maxwell lol

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Pathetic captaincy from Malik. Just going through motions. Aussies are all set to launch and this guy keeps bowling Yasir shah who is happily going through 6 an over.

 

[Chokli]

Yeah easily, it was at this very ground where Pakistan failed to chase 240 against Bangladesh. They literally limped to 200.

yup and their 5th bowling quota was filled by soumya sarkar and mahmudullah


aussie's have lyon, zampa, maxwell, finch himself + cummins

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Yasir can’t even a wicket on a helpful pitch.

 

[Chokli]

You can expect them to pull of 1 win here tonight then, it can happen history is history.

yeah there's usually been a freakish performance every now and then.

 

[Omer2002]

oh yes no century for finch...

 

[Shafi]

Thanks God Yasir didn't get the wicket otherwise he will lay another 20 matches

 

[ILcricket]

188/5

 

[Omer2002]

lucky yasir for sure

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Pakistan team management failed to find a good spinner, which is a worrying sign

 

[Shafi]

Ohh no!!!!! This wicket of Yasir will cost us many matches.

 

[Shafi]

Now Yasir may replace Sadab in our World Cup squad.

 

[Farhan93]

66 strike rate for finch. God forbid if any Pakistani opener played with that strike rate.

And his career strike rate is?

 

[ILcricket]

still 250-260 on i guess .

 

[Omer2002]

i think hasnain wont get another over today but i hope they dont disregard him

 

[a_tahir]

i think hasnain wont get another over today but i hope they dont disregard him

Just got one

 

[Omer2002]

oops i was wrong he is bowling now..

 

[Pete Rose]

lucky yasir for sure

Not lucky. He has bowled a better length in his second spell today

 

[Afhan Ali]

This pitch looks different from the previous one.
Anything over 250 and match is over for us.

 

[lahoriyah1234]

What happened to bilal asif he was a decent off spinner. May be we should hire saqlain mushtaq.

 

[Farhan93]

I don’t understand the new trend of Modern batsmen. Lets be honest how many times teams are scoring over 350 may be 2 in a 5 match series.

No our top order play outdated cricket as well, except Fakhar.
Imam, Babar, Haris and Shan don't look free flowing on completely flat pitches which you see 90% of times in ODIs nowadays

 

[ILcricket]

This pitch looks different from the previous one.
Anything over 250 and match is over for us.

sharp turn / inconsistent bounce / extremely sluggish ???

 

[Kroll]

Shah should get retired from ODI, he will get massacred for sure on the flat English pitches.

 

[Chokli]

Shah should get retired from ODI, he will get massacred for sure on the flat English pitches.

they clearly didn't learn a thing from the 2015 WC when we selected him

 

[Omer2002]

Thanks Imam simple catch dropped...

 

[imshally81]

Dropped....

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

awww first ODI wicket denied to Hassnain

 

[Mueez]

Poor Hasnain.

 

[srh]

Why Imam is not dropped yet?

 

[Omer2002]

maxwell too could be very costly...and hasnains first wicket would have been confidence booster

 

[Shaka81]

Hasnain has been very unlucky today.

 

[Kroll]

still 250-260 on i guess .

With Maxwell still there, 270+ can't be ruled out.

 

[Omer2002]

Thanks Imam all these runs should be his fault...

 

[Farhan93]

What happened to bilal asif he was a decent off spinner. May be we should hire saqlain mushtaq.

He's fine for t20s not for ODIs. His domestic oneday numbers are pretty average

 

[ILcricket]

KJ getting clobbered . 208/5

 

[HGhazanfar]

Imam dropped one against India in the Asia cup as well when we could have had dismissed both their openers.

 

[Kroll]

Why do Pak fieldsmen regularly drop catches.

 

[xricket]

Perchie making sure that this level of cricket is out of his league. Dropping catches every now and then, and still getting free ride along. Wait till he does that in World Cup

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Apparently the lights here does effect your eye sighting. Alot of catches have been dropped in the venue.

 

[Mueez]

Imam...

 

[Omer2002]

Micky throwing a tamtrum honestly he should too wasnt hardly a hard catch

 

[Gullycricket]

Junaid losing it

 

[Farhan93]

Hasnain has been very unlucky today.

He doesn't know how to take wickets yet, would be a poor choice for the worldcup.

Junaid
Shaheen
Hasan
Rumman /Sadaf Hussain

Should be picked if Inzi has any sense or should I say sincerity

 

[troodon]

Arthur ready to beat up someone

 

[RobinJay]

For all the throwing himself around the field Imam does, he drops important catches way more often than it is comfortable. This happens in a WC match, and we might as well be done for.

 

[Chokli]

as if this was the first catch ever dropped by a pakistani.

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Time for Phanti.

 

[Gullycricket]

Imam needs to check his eye sight

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Imam can have a laser treatment, he is the only cricketer who wear glasses. No wonder he drops dollies.

 

[Chokli]

bhanja should wear contacts

 

[Amjid Javed]

Imam doing his uncle proud with his fielding.
