Pakistan vs South Africa | Match 30, World Cup | Lord's | June 23, 2019 | Pakistan innings

[QalandarFan]

Man I can't believe I missed the first 6/7 overs. It's been pretty quite since I've tuned in.

 

[IAJ]

Really hate the way Fakhar holds his bat, it always switches towards legside.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Again risky single

 

[cricketfan11]

Both openers have flawed techniques.
It is perplexing how the run rate has gone down in recent overs
Powerplay is still on, batsmen are settled, yet can't penetrate the field or hit big shots?
Very strange

 

[Afhan Ali]

Imam strike rate js still better than Fakhar

 

[imshally81]

Haha.. What a drama

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Tahir to bowl after this

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Really hate the way Fakhar holds his bat, it always switches towards legside.

Same. I consider him a hack, and this innings is just making that assessment look pretty accurate.

Not strange for us. we are used to it

Dude it's the 14th what stream are you watching the match on?

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Should have let it go..lol

 

[Afhan Ali]

What is par score on this ground in recent 5 years?

 

[msb314]

This is poor from Pakistan

 

[MRSN]

Tuk tuk mode activated. Now see wickets coming

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Chachu to bowl now

 

[saeed5646]

Imran tahir will be b
pumped up

 

[QalandarFan]

Man what is this why are we slowing down at least take a run a ball!

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Man I can't believe I missed the first 6/7 overs. It's been pretty quite since I've tuned in.

Maybe you should tune out for Pak's RR to go up again

 

[imshally81]

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Same. I consider him a hack, and this innings is just making that assessment look pretty accurate.

Thing is he lacks the power too. At least Sharjeel has power.

 

[Mueez]

Four runs!

 

[pakistanisgreat]

44444

 

[msb314]

Good shot!

 

[saeed5646]

Pressure releasing shot

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Fakhar is usually decent at slogging the spinners, maybe he will get a few big blows in before he gets flummoxed by Tahir.

 

[khanpower]

both batters are wasting good deliver's .
putting run down to below 5 is on the card
same old story. (make quick 30 40 then save your ***.

 

[QalandarFan]

Let's go one Pakistani to Another! We always smash Imran Tahir

 

[pakistanisgreat]

What a hell imam was trying to do

 

[cricketfan11]

Not strange for us. we are used to it

I suppose so
But I don't understand how in this day and age of cricket, how the team management can endorse this...

After 10 overs if no wicket has fallen the batsmen should start taking risks....the platform is set to score 375 /400 but that isn't going to happen with this approach

 

[imshally81]

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

What is par score on this ground in recent 5 years?

320

 

[castortroy]

What a terrible shot

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Lol what was that

 

[DeadlyYorker]

Hahahah tahir bhai is on fire

 

[Zeshan547]

*** was that fakhar, you idiot

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Poor shot and given

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

LOL. Bye bye hack. Just pathetic.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Awful dismissal from Fakhar

 

[msb314]

Fakhar you clown

 

[ARK Rafay]

Horror shot! Self destruct mode Activated!

 

[Afhan Ali]

Tahir is angry

 

[DeadlyYorker]

Lol what was that

He did a rohitsharma

 

[QalandarFan]

Oh lord Fakhar!

 

[castortroy]

Disgraceful shot that.

What a give away

 

[Nov15]

But Fakhar won us the Champions Trophy!

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Brainfade by Fakhar.... :

 

[Mamoon]

Talentless hack. And people want him as captain.

 

[Mueez]

Ah man Fakhar what a disgraceful shot.

 

[IAJ]

Rameez in and Fakhar out

 

[saeed5646]

Don't give a easy wicket to imran he is as dangerous as rabada

 

[MRSN]

Hack will be a hack. No intent on playing big knock

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

Wow, that's an embarrassing way to get out.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

I guess they are comfortable that they are safe now and starting to throw now

 

[Khan12]

Should be dropped for playing a shot like this.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Fakhar might need to be dropped. Try Asif Ali

 

[Sunzi]

Poor dismissal. Very poor. Basically threw his wicket away. Make them earn it yaar.

 

[JibranAnsari]

don't know why fakhar cant play normal shots. play down the ground ,play regular sweep , nudge around.

 

[Afhan Ali]

Babar struggle against good spinners
Hope he don't throw it away

 

[BD Tigers]

[MENTION=149383]Ronaldo7[/MENTION]

One down

 

[castortroy]

It was a short ball and he does that.

 

[cricket.mad]

What a idiotic shot that was...only for playing this shot,he should be banished from the team for a year...pathetic

 

[RainStopsPlay]

He did a rohitsharma

That was Misbah-eque!

 

[Hitman]

That is the worst shot of this WC so far.

 

[Ronaldo7]

[MENTION=149383]Ronaldo7[/MENTION]

One down

I'm watching. I can see that.

 

[JibranAnsari]

imrans gonna be our nemesis today.

 

[Mueez]

I'm watching. I can see that.

)

 

[Boi]

and now the innings will come to a halt with two players both with the same role of ‘batting through the innings’ are at the crease.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Fakhar is a hack.

Sorry.

 

[QalandarFan]

Well he got an extra 10 runs or so than he should of so whatever. Let's see a big partnership between Babar and Imam. I'm expecting Babar's first ODI hundred he demolished SA in SA just didn't get that hundred time to rectify that.

 

[DeadlyYorker]

Tahir bhaiya to take out babar...you heard it folks

 

[Green Patriot]

Babar needs to go big today.

 

[castortroy]

Fakhar might need to be dropped. Try Asif Ali

Lol

 

[barah_admi]

No idea why Fakhar did that haha

But the stage is set now for the middle order to pump the score as the openers have done their jobs, the bowling is ok and the pitch carries no demons.

 

[TheInaudibleParadox]

Someone please slap Fakhar. What a disgraceful clownish shot. Unforgivable.

 

[Mlsrock]

Fakhar goes back to the pavilion running fast, i think he got nature's call

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Didn't even get out slogging after all that. Fakhar is nothing more than a hit and hope slogger, albeit he has a good eye so can often whack a few before inevitably holing out.

 

[Markhor]

Trying to get too cheeky when normal strokeplay would've sufficed.

 

[Cricket lover 27]

Pakistani batsmen have scored 90% of their runs through boundaries. Just shows how weak rotation of strike is. Dry up their boundaries and see them panick

It’s the same with Babar Azam he does not rotate the strike well. The only one who rotates the strike well is ironically Sarfaraz who is apparently unfit and Shoaib Malik to an extent.

 

[Hasan123]

Pathetic shot.

 

[saeed5646]

Fakhar might need to be dropped. Try Asif Ali

Seriously?
