Pakistan vs Australia | 5th ODI | Dubai | Mar 31, 2019 | Australia Innings

[Gilly]

Aussies have been given wrong self estimation of themselves by this Pakistani side. They are good but not as good they have made out to be

Beating Pakistan is not something Aussies will get excited about, this is just a training run to see who is in form.

 

[castortroy]

Seriously how can you get pummelled 5-0 and then just dust it off as nothing

The selection team need to be fired but pak 50 over team is probably at its lowest point ever

 

[Chokli]

What was the point of resting a lot of players? Australia is a very good side. They should have had a hit agianst them as a set unit. Now you will go into world cup with players having self doubts.

They have a series versus England before

 

[JibranAnsari]

340 min from here

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Surprised he wasnt used at all considering how well he bowled in previous games when given opportunity

Probably due to insecurity of Imad that Haris didnt bowl in middle overs and now give him over at the death. Bowled only 2 overs in last match aswell. He did similar with Umer Khan in PSL not bowling him when Umer clearly was a better bowler.

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

This series was just an opposite Pak vs Zim.

Revolutionary move by Inzi "The Revolutionary" Chief Selector.

6-7 regular players will come in so I dont think they will have any scars from this.

With PSL recent SA tour and going to olay 5 matches in Eng would have been tough on players and you dont wanna risk your keg players but still this squad could have been formed much better even wothout those players and could have competed better.

You are trolling us right? :-(

Am I?

 

[Boi]

Stoinis is so bad.

 

[TeymurBlake]

Eaxctly. The timing is strange.

 

[babajee]

Shinwari is booked into WC squad.

Congrats Gilly. Just get past england and your 6th world cup is there for the taking.

 

[Shafi]

Why Maxwell only plays well against us and Zimbabwe and failed against other teams.

 

[Invincible Gujjar]

Trundler junaid khan should be done and dusted now. Pathetic bowler

 

[Titan24]

Yes but this B team is not good to judge form of your players. Even Zim can score against Yasir and Abbas in ODIs

 

[Kroll]

Looks likely 5-0 Aus, Pak will be shivering at the thought of chasing 300+

 

[IAJ]

Haris Sohail bowling at the death to Maxwell. What is happening here?

 

[MMHS]

Another POWER HITTING by Handscomb, on his arrival, against an old ball.

 

[Titan24]

Looks likely 5-0 Aus, Pak will be shivering at the thought of chasing 300+

You never know we have

 

[castortroy]

Looks likely 5-0 Aus, Pak will be shivering at the thought of chasing 300+

5-0 is a guarantee

 

[Sherlock]

Looks likely 5-0 Aus, Pak will be shivering at the thought of chasing 300+

They'd be shivering chasing anything over 200 anyway. Pathetic and weak mindset.

 

[Gilly]

Congrats Gilly. Just get past england and your 6th world cup is there for the taking.

If it were only that simple, India, SA and NZ also have their eyes on the prize.

 

[Titan24]

Just to give you a heads up, Pak won the last world tournament played in England.

 

[Sherlock]

Fielding has been absolutely atrocious for a few months now. Shambolic.

 

[Gilly]

Why Maxwell only plays well against us and Zimbabwe and failed against other teams.

He played well against Afghanistan.

 

[jaf348]

300+ at Dubai is like like chasing 380 elsewhere.

 

[Shafi]

England will be choked as usual like S Afrca. Pakistan, NZ, WI are not good enough to play 2-3 good games in a row. It will be whether Australia or India.

 

[Gilly]

Yes but this B team is not good to judge form of your players. Even Zim can score against Yasir and Abbas in ODIs

So what you are suggesting is that take out three or four players from the Pakistan team and they are no longer a good team. Cricket in Pakistan is reliant on a couple of players.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

If it were only that simple, India, SA and NZ also have their eyes on the prize.

Not a chance for India - we don't have any batting after number 3. SA are not a good ODI team. They barely beat Pakistan. NZ are good but again they are not a WC winning side. In Warner, turner ,stoinis, Finch, Maxwell you have enough firepower to match England blow for blow in batting and your bowling is unquestionably better.

 

[Shafi]

He played well against Afghanistan.

As if Afghanistan is a top team.

 

[Chokli]

Take out 3 or 4 players from any team and they'll struggle.

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Junaid Khan yet again among the wickets.

Might be a trundler but he takes wickets.

 

[Titan24]

7 regular players to be precised. Fakhar, Babar, Sarfraz, Hassan, Shaheen, Shadab and Hafeez. 7 players out of any side would be a big thing.

Could have been a good team even without them but some really poor selections made this just a one sided series.

 

[Chokli]

That should be the end of Junaid

 

[ARK Rafay]

Shinwari is too inconsistent. I would'nt gamble him in WC19. Junaid may not be at his best form. But given our current lot of bowlers and their performances. He makes it to WC19 squad.

 

[Titan24]

Junaid Khan yet again among the wickets.

Might be a trundler but he takes wickets.

He is decent and relaible at death and even in the middle overs with older bowl but if he is to be effective he needs to be good with new ball as well.

 

[ARK Rafay]

lol what's the use of wickets now. 300+ is impossible for this batting XI

 

[Amirforpresident]

Junaid Khan yet again among the wickets.

Might be a trundler but he takes wickets.

Look at the diffrence in economy between Shinwari and Junaid

 

[Mamoon]

Junaid Khan yet again among the wickets.

Might be a trundler but he takes wickets.

This 3-fer was as useless as a spinner taking 5 wickets in a Test innings, after bowling 50 overs with the opposition scoring 600+.

 

[Gilly]

As if Afghanistan is a top team.

I was being sarcastic, you dont know much about cricket, Maxwell averages 40 against england and 34 against India with a strike rate well over 100. Do some research before making comments.

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

He is decent and relaible at death and even in the middle overs with older bowl but if he is to be effective he needs to be good with new ball as well.

He usually is when there is some assistance of the wicket for pacers.

 

[Mueez]

I hope UKS takes another wicket he deserves a fiver today!

 

[Titan24]

The way Aussies were going they should have made around 350 here but its still enough most probably

 

[Invincible Gujjar]

Trundler picked 3 useless wickets which won't have any effect on the outcome of match

 

[Gilly]

7 regular players to be precised. Fakhar, Babar, Sarfraz, Hassan, Shaheen, Shadab and Hafeez. 7 players out of any side would be a big thing.

yes I know, I've been around here long enough. Pakistan can beat anybody and when they lose its not because the other team was better it was because of the selections, umpires, dropped catches or some other crazy reason.

 

[ARK Rafay]

He usually is when there is some assistance of the wicket for pacers.

That's why in England he'll be useful. I know England isn't bowling paradise in LOs anymore. but still better with overcast conditions and all vs Dubai

 

[Chokli]

Usman not getting hit was the difference.

If we had a proper spinner instead of Yasir and a decent fast bowlers instead of Junaid and Abbas... The score would be around 270

8 actually, you missed the fast bowling all-rounder - Faheem Ashraf.

 

[Titan24]

When did I undermine Aussies performance? They played better and that is why they are winning but better than whom is the question.

7 players are missing and that is a fact. Take 7 regulars out of any international side and show me a decent lineup.

 

[Titan24]

8 actually, you missed the fast bowling all-rounder - Faheem Ashraf.

I know what you are but you trying to imply better look last year or so matches, he isnt regular in ODIs.

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Yes.

I know he is a trundler

I know he gets injured often

But he is the only one after Shaheen Shah who seems to be getting some movement of the wicket with the new ball. He was very crucial to our CT triumph.

He won't be selected, but we already got too many old ball options.

I'm worried about our new ball bowling. Can't expect from Shaheen all times. There will be a time in WC when Shaheen won't come to expectations and that will be the scariest thing for Pakistan. That's why someone like Amir needs to step up
