Pakistan vs New Zealand | 3rd ODI | Dubai | Nov 11, 2018 | Pakistan Innings

[Madplayer]

Ok fair enough. But he should be starting.

I agree. He is too good to not play.

 

[darksher]

Is it my internet or PP is incredibly slow today, takes ages to load the page, but the stream is playing flawlessly.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Good intent shown by Harris.. what most of out batsmen lack barring fakhar and Sarfaraz

 

[Titan24]

Only a century from haris will give him this spot permanently for sometime

 

[Rana]

What a shot!

 

[Madplayer]

What a beautiful shot . Gorgeous

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Oh what a shot.

 

[castortroy]

Sohail looking immaculate

 

[babajee]

Sensational stuff from Haris.

 

[Hasan123]

What a shot from Haris. He needs to get a big score.

 

[Titan24]

Lol! What a shot

 

[shah_1]

Harris is class

 

[Rana]

Boult has been pretty poor in the last 2 matches

 

[Madplayer]

Only a century from haris will give him this spot permanently for sometime

That shot for 4 alone should make them select him for next 50 matches in playing XI.

 

[mak36]

So anyone want to explain why he hasn't been playing?

Haris looks like he is sending a message to the management. The difference is he talks with his bat, not with his media contacts (cough: Hafeez).

 

[JibranAnsari]

Haris usually likes to throw it away between 30 and 40 , lets see.

 

[PakPremi]

Hafeez or Imam. Imam isn't an ODI player and Hafeez is past his best.

Just drop Asif keep both Imam and Haris. Hafeez and Hatis can bowl as well.

 

[Hasan123]

Haffez’s bowling is needed against lefties by Sarfaraz and Imam has scored 4 100s since his debut so not an easy call.

It's a myth that Hafeez bowling is needed. He hardly bowled at CT .

Haris should have been playing before Imam was selected.

 

[Shafi]

Wish Haris was younger, he is few level ahead of most of our players.

 

[ask_analyse_act]

What a shot from Haris

 

[nextover666666]

Haris looking very good indeed

 

[Hasan123]

Haris has started well but we know he's a good starter his problem has been he hasn't gotten big scores at international level.

 

[Titan24]

Its a shame he was injured after the 2015 world cup. We have lost so much talent over the years, in 2010 Amir, Asif, Haris’s injury, Juanid’s injury in his peak, Shehzad’s and Umar Akmal’s mental injury, Sharjeel etx

 

[Rana]

Fahrenheit cheetah!

 

[Taaya]

A few of us have been asking for Haris' consistent inclusion for ages. So glad to see the management have come to his senses. He needs to grab this opportunity and put some sense into them.

 

[Titan24]

It's a myth that Hafeez bowling is needed. He hardly bowled at CT .

Haris should have been playing before Imam was selected.

Just makes Sarfaraz comfortable with his bowling available. He is economical though

 

[ask_analyse_act]

So anyone want to explain why he hasn't been playing?

Haris looks like he is sending a message to the management. The difference is he talks with his bat, not with his media contacts (cough: Hafeez).

Exactly. POTW

 

[JibranAnsari]

Cloase case

 

[mak36]

Wish Haris was younger, he is few level ahead of most of our players.

Danish Aziz and Saud Shakeel are his successors.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Safe phewww

 

[Rayyman]

Hope Faheem can get a cameo today.

 

[Madplayer]

Haris looks so assured at the crease every single time i see him bat.

 

[MMHS]

I don't blame Selection panel for the treatment Haris is getting - they don't select starting XI. Someone should ask Mickey & Sarfraz regarding this.

 

[Markhor]

Haris Sohail making a mockery of our ODI team selections this year.

 

[Rana]

Slow. 60-70mph pace on this wicket is good

 

[Gotham Cronie]

Haris usually likes to throw it away between 30 and 40 , lets see.

And when do the experienced seniors throw it away? Between 70s and 80s?

 

[Titan24]

Danish Aziz and Saud Shakeel are his successors.

Is Danish Aziz technically sound? I knwo he can play some shots

 

[JibranAnsari]

Babar playing too many dots.

 

[topspin]

How someone who averages 57 in the last 10 games isn't a regular in this side is beyond me. And then I am told Inzi is our greatest ever selector

He was also the one that instructed the management to start Ahmed Shehzad in the CT. Thankfully common sense prevailed after the humiliation in the opening game.

 

[JibranAnsari]

And when do the experienced seniors throw it away? Between 70s and 80s?

Between zero and 20 after consuming a truckload.

 

[darksher]

Bazid's voice is a pain to the ears, how on earth he got appointed as a commie is beyond me.

 

[Rana]

Hafeez 19 off 34 in 2018 as an ODI opener

This is actually enough proof for an English/Australian batsman to hang up his boots

 

[Nasty Naz]

Haris is looking incredible. It's shocking and appalling he hasn't played more matches.

Maybe he could have stopped all those collapses in the Asia Cup but I guess they had to play the amazing Asif Ali.

 

[Titan24]

Sohail looking the best out of the lot today. Hopefully he can convert it into something big

 

[Shafi]

Danish Aziz and Saud Shakeel are his successors.

Don't think Inzi will give opportunity to Saud.
How old is Danish?

 

[babajee]

Tactical.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Edged and 4 and he has looked good.

 

[Rana]

Bazid's voice is a pain to the ears, how on earth he got appointed as a commie is beyond me.

People like to praise his knowledge of the Domestic scene. That’s fine he can work as a researcher for the commentary team

 

[Madplayer]

That 4 was deliberate.

 

[Titan24]

Haris is looking incredible. It's shocking and appalling he hasn't played more matches.

Maybe he could have stopped all those collapses in the Asia Cup but I guess they had to play the amazing Asif Ali.

Most of our struggles are due to poor selections

 

[Titan24]

Boult being taken to cleaners in two consecutive games

 

[Rinnegan Sasuke]

Frustrating by Babar. Horrible innings.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Boults been maltreated here

 

[babajee]

Glorious shots from Haris and also shameful humilation for Boult

 

[castortroy]

Sohail batting on a different wicket here

 

[topspin]

It's a myth that Hafeez bowling is needed. He hardly bowled at CT .

Haris should have been playing before Imam was selected.

This depends if his clean action is effective. If it is then we need those economical overs but even without his bowling the choice of hitters are as follows:

Asif Ali
Umar Akmal
Maqsood
Hafeez
Faheem (worst choice batting at 6 or 7)

Unfortunately this the choice we have. Sarfraz needs to man up and take responsibility, come up the order at 4.

 

[Titan24]

Today I think its time for atleast one of Malik or Hafeez to hang their boot after watching Haris’s innings

 

[Madplayer]

People like to praise his knowledge of the Domestic scene. That’s fine he can work as a researcher for the commentary team

His sentences come out like this :

Word. . . . . .. . . .word. . . . . . . . Word. . . .. . . . . .wordwordword

 

[babajee]

Frustrating by Babar. Horrible innings.

Needs to step up now. Haris is making it look too easy.

 

[Taaya]

What a shot by Haris! He's in sublime touch and he hasn't even been playing. Extremely poor from Mickey and Sarfraz. Try dropping him now.

 

[Rayyman]

God damn Haris

 

[mak36]

Is Danish Aziz technically sound? I knwo he can play some shots

Yes. I mentioned in his thread NBP made an excellent decision to sign him this season and and to get him to bat at three in FC.

 

[Rana]

I remember his 40 odd against Australia in the wc quarter final. He can make the world pause for a second with some of his elegant strokes. Definetly will finish as an under achiever. The poor guy will have to play till 40-43 to make something out of his immense talent

 

[Madplayer]

Glorious shots from Haris and also shameful humilation for Boult

He deserves this humiliation

 

[topspin]

Babar's been on a golden T20I run, and scored fifties in two of his last three Tests. Should've scored a hundred against Australia. In ODIs I worry about his record against nonminnows, slow SR at the start of his innings and taking responsibility in pressure situations. He does seem soft at times but you can't coach mental strength. But age is on his side and for our pathetic batting standards he's the best young batsman we have.

I don't get what people think a batting coach at international level can do besides subtle adjustments. If a batsman doesn't have the ability, they don't have what it takes no matter what a coach tells them. You don't see many international batsmen making major technical changes, especially if they're in their late 20s/early 30s when their technique and movements become muscle memory after years of routine.

We've had countless national team batting coaches since 2000 and our batting culture remains mediocre as ever, maybe that suggest there's something more important to fix than sacking Flower.

I concur with these concerns.

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Haris Sohail making a mockery of our ODI team selections this year.

Umer amin will do the same if given chances regularly in UAE not just one here and there. Recently he is the one who consistently plays the modern game of scoring quick runs. But the reality not given enuf chances at the right time always

 

[Markhor]

What a difference playing a specialist batsman in your middle order makes.

Can we end this nonsense of playing allrounders in these crucial middle order spots now ?

 

[Rana]

His sentences come out like this :

Word. . . . . .. . . .word. . . . . . . . Word. . . .. . . . . .wordwordword

Black....caps.....should....watch....out.....Fakhar...is....Pumping...today

 

[Madplayer]

He is not like other "specialist batsmen" in Pakistan. This is arguably the best left hander in the country by miles.

 

[Titan24]

Yes. I mentioned in his thread NBP made an excellent decision to sign him this season and and to get him to bat at three in FC.

Glad to know that. Hopefully he and Saud somehow plays a full season of PSL this time around. Saud didnt even get a game and danish got one.

 

[castortroy]

Sohail in the test squad?

 

[Shandarchowka]

Such a classy player Harris is! That backfoot cover drive gave me goosebumps!

 

[topspin]

Haris is so pleasing to watch and batting so briskly without taking a lot of risk. Shows his class right there.

 

[mak36]

Don't think Inzi will give opportunity to Saud.
How old is Danish?

Inzi is the one who kept selecting Saud for the A team a few years ago, even when Saud kept failing. So Saud will be given a chance. One thing he needs to work on is his game against the short ball.

Danish is 22.

 

[Rana]

Umer amin will do the same if given chances regularly in UAE not just one here and there. Recently he is the one who consistently plays the modern game of scoring quick runs. But the reality not given enuf chances at the right time always

Well that escalated quickly

 

[Madplayer]

Black....caps.....should....watch....out.....Fakhar...is....Pumping...today

Boult . . . Has. . . .. been. . . . . Taken. . . . . ToTheCleanersToday.

 

[Rayyman]

partnership

 

[iPakistani]

Since Haris Sohail came in Pak have made 51 in the last 6 overs.

 

[Sadozai]

I think Babar's role in this ODI side is to test his partners' temperament LOL

 

[90MPH]

Pakistan should aim 280.

If they get it NZ not chasing it down on this wicket.
