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

Lack of footwork, lack of rotation. What are you doing Fakhar?
 
Just charge at the ball Fakhar. Use your feet, don’t wait for it to square you up.
 
Don't think bumrah and bhuvi will bowl more than 4 each in first spell, which means from 9th over, a spinner will be brought in. Pakistan openers need to stay calm and wait for the spinners to come in. If u haven't lost a wicket after 5 overs, then u have done better than the bowling team.
 
This reminds me of champions trophy final. Fakhar was in similar situation, not getting the ball on the bat, looked out if form, Azhar stepped up and took pressure off him. Imam needs to play similar role today but I think it is too much to expect from him
 
Fakhar should fare better against the spinners, just hoping he stays till then
 
Ramiz tripping over his words like fakhar tripping over his shots
 
Bhuvi isn't bowling as good as he can. I pray FZ takes advantage of this and gets his form back in.
 
Imam is looking good today. I genuinely hope he proves me wrong today, he's looking very classy.

Is Imam there to play and win a cricket match for his nation, or is Fakhar's assistant trying to help him get in form?
 
Well he has surprised many. Still has to prove if he can play part in 300+ scores though.

There's hardly anyone better than Imam out there and Imam has been doing a great job since he's come in. Don't understand all the hate
 
Fakhar is proving to be a liability so far, and he is creating pressure on his team mates as well.

That is my main concern about Imam, in Zimbabwe we were 20-30 runs short in all three games because of his slow starts.
 
Rameez contradicting himself in one sentence.
 
Pakistani seamers should take a leaf out of the Indian seamers book.They are keeping it very tight unlike ours!

That why I said it is too much to expect from him, he is there to play for himself and Pakistan, we shouldn't expect him to assist Fakhar to gain his form but it doesn't mean that he shouldn't step up. He should step up for the team he is playing for
 
Imam ul Haq and Babur Azam. The two great Lahori batsmen. Also relatives of other legendary Pakistani cricketers. Would love to see them to bat a huge partnership.

Which legendary batsmen is Babar relative off? :yk

If a team scores 150 in 33 overs, there is a high chance for 270-300, and for those first 150 batsmen just need a SR of 80 not 120. He has that and will definitely improve
 
What is happening here? Of the two matches I have seen, Pakistan look completely undercooked. Did the yspend too much time on that yo yo rubbish and not enough on technique and tactics?
 
Imam having to carry the innings because of Fakhar's snail paced batting.

Such an absurd sentence, never thought I'd write something like that :))

He's doing just fine. Ensuring Pakistan gets a decent start. He can't play a match winning knock in 6 overs, it will come over 20-25 overs.

Yes because that’s what they did. Only had a fitness camp. Sounds legit
