Pakistan vs India | Asia Cup: Super Four | Dubai | Sep 23, 2018 | Pakistan Innings

[Dios]

Fakhar auditioning for the Test team?

 

[castortroy]

India bowlers have had a hold of pak batting for many years now. Definitely a mental block.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Just waiting for brain **** and wicket now

 

[Fineline]

Fakhar struggling here!

 

[aukhan]

Amir mufta better perform with the ball today.

 

[castortroy]

Fakir won't last long here. Too many dot balls for him

 

[Pete Rose]

Pretty clear that the Indian bowlers are going to bowl on middle and leg and then throw one out there as the sucker bowl

 

[alized]

Imam ul Haq is a 1990’s style Test player.

 

[Fahdi]

Times like these I miss Sharjeel. I like Fakhar but Sharjeel would murder anything on his pads.

Fakhar needs to rotate the strike. Can't afford to play maidens.

 

[happydavy]

Even if Pakistan is 30 for 0 after 10 overs, it's a very good start. Runs don't matter, wickets in hands do. Thanks to advent of T20, upping the run rate in middle overs is always possible, provided u have wickets.

 

[daytrader]

FZ looks out of form, just needs to stay calm and play himself in

 

[alized]

A BIG classy drive is coming up, and it will relieve all the pressure.

 

[Madplayer]

Negative bowling by Indians. They have lost the plot today.

 

[PerfectionPersonified]

wicket on its way

 

[aukhan]

Dont expect selfish imam to score quickly. This guy reminds me of shehzad.

 

[imshally81]

Dhoni dropped the ball again..

 

[Something]

the players need to keep it calm and look to settle in. The runs will come. Meanwhile look for the singles don't just block yourselves out and not score at all

 

[azimiqbal]

Fakher Just needs to stay there it’s a long game , hope does not do anything silly

 

[happydavy]

Imam ul Haq is a 1990’s style Test player.

Amazing..Fakar is the one who's 1 of 13 balls and yet Imam getting criticised

 

[Rayyman]

Even if Pakistan is 30 for 0 after 10 overs, it's a very good start. Runs don't matter, wickets in hands do. Thanks to advent of T20, upping the run rate in middle overs is always possible, provided u have wickets.

Fakhar vs Jadeja

 

[PerfectionPersonified]

openers just blocking rather looking for singles

 

[Fineline]

Dont expect selfish imam to score quickly. This guy reminds me of shehzad.

Fakhar not doing any great either.

 

[ExpressPacer]

I've noticed our batsmen have stopped giving themselves room. Misbah seemed to be the last of them would take a couple of steps aside and look to whack the bowlers. When looking for boundaries, this younger lot has minimal foot movement which eventually leads to edges or the ball not getting middled.

 

[Something]

Dont expect selfish imam to score quickly. This guy reminds me of shehzad.

He is scoring faster than Fakhar.

 

[imshally81]

 

[pillionrider]

These openers are missing so many hittable balls and when they do, they don't time it well enough. Either they're nervous or out of form or just poor skills

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Cut away for by Imam

 

[castortroy]

Bumrah is an excellent bowler

One of the best bowlers in the world on current form

 

[Slim]

Imam ul Haq is a 1990’s style Test player.

Wat?

 

[PerfectionPersonified]

too good bumrah

 

[Fahdi]

Good shot for 4. Could have played it a little safer though

 

[ExpressPacer]

Shouldn't have taken this chance but good to have relieved the pressure with that four. Good shot but poor thinking!

 

[pillionrider]

Finally gets one away

 

[Something]

Beauty!

 

[Rayyman]

I've noticed our batsmen have stopped giving themselves room. Misbah seemed to be the last of them would take a couple of steps aside and look to whack the bowlers. When looking for boundaries, this younger lot has minimal foot movement which eventually leads to edges or the ball not getting middled.

Batting is also in the legs, not only the hands

 

[alized]

Amazing..Fakar is the one who's 1 of 13 balls and yet Imam getting criticised

I’m not criticizing him. I am appreciating his style which has become really rare nowadays.

 

[InziRules]

Imam outplaying Fakhar so far

 

[theariezman]

both the batsmen tied themselves up....play your natural game.

 

[Pete Rose]

These openers are missing so many hittable balls and when they do, they don't time it well enough. Either they're nervous or out of form or just poor skills

Combination. And they are not feeling confident enough to pull at the moment

 

[Fineline]

Bumrah bowling/Chucking well!

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Bumrah is bowling really well.

 

[imshally81]

Bumrah seems unplayable here...

 

[the_outsider]

Bumrah too good for Pakistani batsmen.

 

[Vitaly]

Dhoni looks like he will drop catches today

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Fakhar is seriously struggling

 

[ExpressPacer]

Why is Fakhar primarily looking to get runs in the offside?

I remember the majority of his runs coming in the legside earlier on.

 

[aukhan]

Fakhar is clearly out of form. He has been hiding imam's inability to play at a healthy SR. Now that fakhar is struggling, the scoring rate has decreased in the power play.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Fakhar really out of form.

 

[sahiwal_punjabi_786]

Fakhar is being sensible, he needs to see out opening spell

 

[Pete Rose]

Hang in there

 

[Asif321]

It’s okay fakhar go slow

 

[msb314]

Imam looking more at ease than Fakhar..

 

[Titan24]

Just waiting for that 1st 4 of Fakhar’s bat, after that monster will unleash

 

[Fahdi]

What the hell Fakhar? Usually he'd put these balls away to the boundary

 

[Something]

Bumrah keeping it wicket to wicket. Hope our boys are watching.

 

[aukhan]

Imam ul Haq is a 1990’s style Test player.

He reminds me of shehzad.

 

[Asif321]

Thank god no 2nd slip

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Finally some runs, albeit lucky.

 

[Rana]

Hang in there Fakhar, today is your day boy!

 

[Pete Rose]

Fakhar is so far slow to the shot; bat is turning in his hand

 

[Slim]

At least rotate the strike.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Need 75-80 runs opening stand

 

[Something]

oh man I would've expected him to smash that last one.

 

[Titan24]

What the hell Fakhar? Usually he'd put these balls away to the boundary

Just out of form.

 

[PerfectionPersonified]

faker poor so far

 

[Rayyman]

Good start boyzzz

 

[Something]

He reminds me of shehzad.

Which proves how little knowledge you have about the game.

 

[imshally81]

Good running..

 

[LegendAli]

I think this is the first time a India vs Pak match has one discussion thread for both innings, why so quiet?

 

[aukhan]

What the hell Fakhar? Usually he'd put these balls away to the boundary

Out of form. He needs some selfish runs to get back in the groove.

Selfish Imam needs to step up and score at a healthy rate.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Another risky run by Fakhar

 

[theariezman]

Fakhar is not kind of player who can exploit UAE conditions.

 

[Something]

oh edges there. Needs to keep it tight.

 

[ExpressPacer]

Why is Fakhar not using his feet? And most importantly, why is he only focused on looking for runs on the offside? Whatever happened to him being a Legside hack!

 

[Fahdi]

Good single. Need more of that instead of getting bogged down

 

[Titan24]

In subcontinental conditions Fakhar is yet to play that big innings, he has been preferring overseas conditions due to the pace they offer

 

[Fineline]

Gotta score some boundries in the first 10 overs before the jadugars arrive!

 

[mak36]

Just need to rotate the strike.

Not worried about Fakhar's S/R. He just needs to stay in.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Good single this time, finds the middle of the bat.

 

[mak36]

That sounded nice off Fakhar's bat.
