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

[Mueez]

Sarfraz should’ve come.

He can milk spinners.

 

[Zeshan547]

so suddenly the pitch is so bad you can't even take single, it's more to do with our rubbish batsman

 

[Down2Earth]

Seems like these two are trying their best to lose

 

[JibranAnsari]

so many dots.

 

[PerfectionPersonified]

Hafeez playing a pathetic inning so far

 

[IMMY69]

Pace off the slightly older ball seems to be the way to go in this wicket...

 

[Zeshan547]

now the wicket coming with the release shot. Rinse and repeat.

 

[castortroy]

That's the problem with this batting line up

So many dots

 

[adil79]

pathetic. now these guys are playing for personal milestones so that they dont get massacred by pakistani crowd

 

[Babbar]

They want to ensure that Pak bowlers have at least 280 to defend. Overall good batting.

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

Clueless batting

They have no plan

 

[hur rizvi]

Hafeez

 

[castortroy]

Wicket coming

 

[adil79]

That's the problem with this batting line up

So many dots

correction: so many idiots playing for personal milestones.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

I think the wicket is sticky and hard to get the spinners away...
They can still get to a winning total if they keep their wickets.

Could be. I haven't really given consideration that the wicket might not be the easiest to bat on. You can never tell with Pakistan batsmen, they often make it look like they are batting on a minefield, then the opposition come out and blast it all over the ground on the same pitch.

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

Big slog coming

 

[hur rizvi]

They want to ensure that Pak bowlers have at least 280 to defend. Overall good batting.

Absolutely rubbish batting

 

[castortroy]

They want to ensure that Pak bowlers have at least 280 to defend. Overall good batting.

280 isn't enough

 

[Titan24]

The test matches especially we were doing so bad and we do good in one session after 5 bad ones this guys is like "Oh no Faf, KG what you guys doing let's pick it up." Like dude wth let us have our moment too. Don't think they will ever hire him again. Then that other SA commentator who is originally Australian is pretty bad and clueless too. Doesn't know a thing about cricket outside SA.

SA commies have been pretty poor off late for sure. I guess best commentators on display in WC are Clarke, Slater and Nasser in my opinion. Would have liked KP as well in the panel, he brings energy as well as analysis.

 

[msb314]

Poor from Hafeez

 

[shaz619]

So how is it that Lords is full with 99pct Pakistanis yet for the India game it was like 300 Indians for every Pakistani?

Mate I applied for the ballot on every occasion on time but wasn't succesful even once, strangely Pak fans have only been able to get a hold of tickets for the lower profile games. It was my dream to attend a world cup final but it wasn't to be, but was fortunate to see Pak/Eng; it may well be our only win in this tournament you just never know

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Should target phool bhai and markram

 

[castortroy]

Hafeez will be out this offer

Going for the big shot

 

[KingKhanWC]

At the ground . This is a 320 par track , need to keep rotating the strike !

 

[dani rana]

The boys playing welll .... unzi bhai

 

[Ahmed216]

Mr 'block or hit' hafeez at his best

 

[IAJ]

Strange approach from Hafeez here

 

[hur rizvi]

Pitch has nothing for pace and spin

Atrocious batting

 

[IMMY69]

Could be. I haven't really given consideration that the wicket might not be the easiest to bat on. You can never tell with Pakistan batsmen, they often make it look like they are batting on a minefield, then the opposition come out and blast it all over the ground on the same pitch.

The more I watch the more I think wicket is not a 300 run wicket.
I hope i’m Right.

 

[Unleashed]

Good batting to ensure that Saffers best bowlers Phulkaweyo and Markram don't get a wicket.

 

[Crickeet]

As bad as these openers are they're better than Farhat, Fisherman Hameed, Taufeeq, Imran Nazir and so on and so forth. But as whole out top 6 tailenders have the perennial problem of not rotating strike in all forms. A basic with any level of batting oh and to boot are pathetic in the field.

 

[jiduguravindra]

He was criticize for slow start now his strike rate is 100 i think i know what i am writing

What's his strike rate now? Babar always starts positively,out of nowhere he became slow and when he try to increase the tempo,he gets out...This is the pattern of most of his innings in the past few months now...

 

[Zeshan547]

I mean how can you be so dumb, it's hit even about ability it's about intent or lack of it, or they do this purposefully

 

[adil79]

This is what happens when you play baba jees at number 4. Pathetic batting. Against part timer, they scoring 4 dots. What is it?

 

[m.shah]

Hafeez bhai struggling to rotate

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Aiden murli markram

 

[Jeetlodil]

Harris in pavilion is laughing at this batting from Hafeez

 

[castortroy]

Something has to give now

 

[Titan24]

I hope Pak bowlers are taking note that spin and cutters arent coming onto bat

 

[Mamoon]

We are making Markram look like a specialist.

 

[uberkoen]

After the start that we had, we are in a horrible position. We should've batted SA out of the game but seems like we'd need a top notch performance from our bowlers now

 

[Crickeet]

Not strange at all, very typical of this bakwas player who has been allowed to play for 16 years.

 

[IMMY69]

Pitch has nothing for pace and spin

Atrocious batting

There’s no pace in the wicket...
You can see that which is why the batsmen are struggling to hit off the square

 

[JibranAnsari]

good riddance , hafeez was struggling.

 

[hur rizvi]

Disgusting innings

 

[BD Tigers]

Another one bites the dust

 

[Mamoon]

And he takes a wicket too now. Wow.

 

[Captain caveman]

Pakistan have lost this game!
I blame fakhar!

 

[castortroy]

Surely he has to review that

Was missing

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Aiden murli markram

Lol

 

[KingKhanWC]

Professor plum . Getting out to part timer

 

[dani rana]

Rumours circulating ICC BCCI gonna do husnian for chucking

 

[kingusama92]

Always on the cards.

They don't know how to rotate the strike at all.

 

[imshally81]

 

[DeadlyYorker]

Surely he has to review that

Was missing

Was not

 

[castortroy]

Wicket was always coming there

Last 4 overs have been pathetic

 

[IAJ]

Rubbish player.

 

[TheInaudibleParadox]

Pathetic innings Hafeez can get lost too.

 

[m.shah]

Aur khilaw budhe lago ko

 

[JibranAnsari]

Surely he has to review that

Was missing

ya was missing leg and off stump.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Destroyer of spin falls to some no mark finger spinner. Experience though...

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

Rubbish innings from a rubbish player

But remember he is a senior

 

[Green Patriot]

Hafeez wth.

 

[Rana]

Boring batting by Pakistan.

 

[Zeshan547]

you can see that from miliom miles away, same old rubbish same old, this is real pakistan we were waiting to unleashed?

 

[Asif321]

Getting out to part timer lol

 

[DeadlyYorker]

Rumours circulating ICC BCCI gonna do husnian for chucking

Take amir,hasan all in why not go all out?

 

[PerfectionPersonified]

Torture ends

 

[cricketfan11]

The pitch may have deteriorated
But it can't have deteriorated so much that in the first 10 overs it looked like a batting paradise and in the next 10 over the ball isn't coming on to the bat..
Issue is just with intent and openers slowing down after getting 20 ish

 

[castortroy]

Some really pathetic shots by hafeez and Fakhar

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Awful by Hafeez.

 

[Mamoon]

Hafeez has never looked good when he bats timidly. He has at his best only when he comes out swinging, and he should have done that today against the circus clown Tahir and Markram.

 

[JibranAnsari]

the problem is that babar can never take charge of the innings so if his partner struggles he can never help. He is always a sleeping partner.

 

[amirm]

Absolutely terrible batting

 

[Markhor]

But he is EXPERIENCED.

 

[Pete Rose]

Moment of silence those who felt there’s a difference between Malik and Hafeez when it comes to their value for Pakistan.

 

[adil79]

Pathetic hafeez, showing his class. THe ultimate pro at hacks. Good riddance. Hope he gets dismissed

 

[Mueez]

With Bobby and Haris at the crease now.

We should be able to score 280+.

Hafeez played such a boring innings.

 

[Titan24]

Ball isnt coming onto the bat. Looks like maybe even Eng will struggle in this and late part of the tournament as they dont fare well on slower surfaces

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

WT fridge....pathetic shot by prof against parttimer....???.....surely the end of the road for him...cmon get a youngster
