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

Fakhar is the worst hack ever

 

[shariqnoor]

Pretty sure he needed to go to the toilet.

 

[ak619]

Don't know why people are complaining. That's Fakhar's game. It's a high risk high reward game that he plays.

When it was coming off everyone was cheering. Why curse him now?

 

[GLORY OF '92]

SA are demoralised. Most teams would have smashed them. I'm expecting a choke by us now.

 

[Shafi]

Fakhar was trying to get out for a long time and finally got the success!!! A brainless player

 

[MMHS]

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

Actually his intention is quite honest, but his shot making ability is limited, therefore he has to depend lot on playing high risk shots to keep scoring. With that field placing, a set lefti opener should be able to push leggis either through point, mid on or squire leg effortlessly almost every ball for at least a single. Still, did his job, but didn't finish it.

 

[Arsal_AK]

This is two times is a row trying something ridiculous. He hasn't learnt a thing in two years of being in the team.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Hope we don't collapse...

 

[QalandarFan]

Unfortunate Babar's bunny Steyn is not playing.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Softie Babar Azam is in now

 

[IAJ]

Read the posts on him again.

There is nothing high risk in what he was doing. It was plain stupidity, that's all.

 

[DeadlyYorker]

Morris needs to let the headhitter shortbowls comr in,let them take risks

 

[cricketfan11]

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.

His expertise is slogging.
He doesn't play proper shots or "cute" shots properly
That is because his technique isn't fine tuned
Should just stick to his strengths
Sehwag wasn't brilliant technically but stuck to his strengths and did amazingly well

 

[Hasan123]

Need these 2 to set a platform.

 

[QalandarFan]

Fakhar is the worst hack ever

Yeah wish we selected Awais Zia instead!

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Man this moris is bowling tight line too. I am just worried

 

[ExpressPacer]

Is there a chance for Pakistan to still qualify for the Semis?

 

[DeadlyYorker]

Is damadji playing?

 

[QalandarFan]

Need these 2 to set a platform.

Yeah need at minimum a 100 run 15-17 over partnership.

 

[IAJ]

Rameez is praising Babar now, get ready for another one

 

[saeed5646]

Don't know why people are complaining. That's Fakhar's game. It's a high risk high reward game that he plays.

He hit one boundary already in that over .so why take another risk ?People are criticising his match awareness

 

[ARK Rafay]

Fakhar is the worst hack ever

No. It's Hazaratullah Zazai

 

[Boi]

Exactly. If we want to reach the level England are at with their ODI game we have to let our players play with complete freedom.

 

[Cricket lover 27]

Is damadji playing?

Nope

 

[ak619]

Read the posts on him again.

Many were cheering him on.

 

[IAJ]

Is there a chance for Pakistan to still qualify for the Semis?

Yes

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Need to score 5 runs an over

 

[Hasan123]

Babar needs to rotate strike. Can't afford too many dot balls.

 

[Amjid Javed]

The stupidity of fakhar will never end

 

[saeed5646]

That was inzi esque .excellent shot

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Shot 44444

 

[DeadlyYorker]

Many were cheering him on.

Thing about hecks is,they connect people cheer,they fail people bash ,whats wrong with this relativity?

 

[IAJ]

Many were cheering him on.

And many were calling him hack...

 

[Hasan123]

Excellent by Imam.

 

[msb314]

Good shot by Imam

 

[imshally81]

[ARK Rafay]

Yeah wish we selected Awais Zia instead!

Even better. Mukhtar Ahmed

Another Indian showing why Indians have so much more knowledge of batting in general. We just don’t have a batting culture in Pakistan and it affects our fans

 

[Afhan Ali]

This match is final of 2 mediocre teams
Who loss the match will be declared as worst of all.
Why i am typing this ?
Because of fakhar maddness

 

[Mueez]

SA’s fielding has been quite decent today.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Koi baat nahe fakhar well played for 44 runs. Need atleast 80 runs partnership now.

 

[DeadlyYorker]

SA’s fielding has been quite decent today.

Quiet? Its hit rockbottem to be honest

 

[ExpressPacer]

Yes

Can you please explain to me how? I thought it was necessary that NZ lost their games, or at least most of them. They just won vs the WI.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Common take single after boundary

 

[Mueez]

Nice flick.

 

[ak619]

He hit one boundary already in that over .so why take another risk ?People are criticising his match awareness

That's how England's top order plays on such wickets. They don't stop at just 1 boundary an over. They try to get as many as they can.

And this is Fakhar's game. This is how he plays. He is not the kind of batsman who can graft an innings like Williamson, Root or Kohli.

So accept his gameplay or reject. Don't keep switching sides simply based on the outcome on that given day/ball.

 

[Mueez]

Quiet? Its hit rockbottem to be honest

Apart from the catch.

They have been okay in the field.

 

[Boi]

Rameez saying Fakhar has never played that shot lol. Played it quite successfully in the series just before the World Cup.

 

[QalandarFan]

Even better. Mukhtar Ahmed

Heck why not just send Hasan Ali in as a opener to do some hacking.

 

[cricketfan11]

Rameez is praising Babar now, get ready for another one

Rameez was over the top in his praise for Umar Akmal too

He is talking about Babar needing 98 to become second fastest to 3000 runs

For once talk about runs helping the team to win and not personal milestones...

 

[Ahmed216]

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

Our batsmen have very limited abilities. They cant play quality spin or pace, they dont have the skills to rotate strike,they dont have the temprament to play out the tough phases.
All these deficiencies do not allow them to construct an innings. They score good 30-40's thts why we are decent T20 side

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Babar needs a 100 today

 

[DeadlyYorker]

Can you please explain to me how? I thought it was necessary that NZ lost their games, or at least most of them. They just won vs the WI.

Forget nz they have qualified, eng is at 8 points if they lose all and pak wins 3/4 they qualify... If eng win 1 and pak win all 4 pak qualifies

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Can you please explain to me how? I thought it was necessary that NZ lost their games, or at least most of them. They just won vs the WI.

We are focusing on mow throwing England out.

 

[IAJ]

Why are everyone just talking about NZ? England can also fail. They have lost to Pak and SL and why can’t tjey lose against Aus, India and NZ?

 

[ak619]

There is nothing high risk in what he was doing. It was plain stupidity, that's all.

Of course his gameplay is high risk. He is a boundary hitter.

His centuries won't have 40-60 runs scored running. It will have 12-18 boundaries.

That's high risk batting.

 

[DeadlyYorker]

Apart from the catch.

They have been okay in the field.

Catch was okay but too many loose fielded and gave away many extra singles not to mention atleast dozen of missed runouts

 

[saeed5646]

Woah tahir is looking dangerous

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Imam not comfortable againt chachu

 

[shah_1]

Poor from imam

 

[AAli98]

In a world where buttlers s/r is around 160 decent players 120, then we have imam & baba happily going along 75/80 s/r

Hit the god dam ball.. even bangladesh have scores 330 against this dreadful SA team

 

[Rayyman]

Should get at least 300 here

 

[Green Patriot]

Just one run off the over

 

[Hasan123]

Lack of strike rotation is frustrating.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Rotate strike imam for god sake.

 

[QalandarFan]

You say "Buttler's" like every team has 6 players like him in their team barring us.

 

[ExpressPacer]

Why are everyone just talking about NZ? England can also fail. They have lost to Pak and SL and why can’t tjey lose against Aus, India and NZ?

Thanks guys. I havent really been on Pakpassion lately or even watching cricket ever since the loss to India. Didnt keep up to date with the requirements to qualify but now I certainly believe that if Pakistan get a winning streak and qualify for the Semis, we are certainly in with a chance.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Run raye looks like gonna go down below 5

 

[cricketfan11]

Imam in his 40s,
Hope that doesn't slow his scoring rate

 

[saeed5646]

Wait weren't bd and Afghanistan better than us from your expert opinion . Why are you complaining now?

Imam is playing fine,pakistans prob is sudden collapse and middle order not able to hold the game till slog overs. And dont compare what others scored vs oppsitions..
Had indians tried 380 vs afgahans n kept on slogging they might have lost thr match..just play everymatch by your standards not how others managed

 

[pak4life]

Imam unfortunately has limited shot selection but still no escuse for not rotating the strike.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Don't think we will get to 330 after that good start

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

The batting looking bogged down now, don't really understand why, the start has been a good one. Pressure should be on SA.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Anyone missing Rafatullah Mohmand!?

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Babar will score 100 off 140 balls.

 

[Hasan123]

South Africa looking comfortable now.

 

[Afhan Ali]

Test cricket at its best from our future stars

 

[NauV]

After that start, they have stalled completely! Stupidity around the corner . .
