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

[Sunny_majoka]

Some he is the best player of swing and seam in Asia, while others say he is the best player of spin in Pakistan. I wonder why he isn’t ranked 1 in all formats yet.

Not given enough chances may be

 

[imshally81]

 

[Invincible Gujjar]

What a shot by haris

 

[watchman99]

Babars day today.
We should aim for 250

 

[IMMY69]

Timing comes back once the faster bowlers come on

 

[Captain caveman]

Honestly, i think pakistan should forfeit there remaining matches and just go home!

 

[Zeshan547]

Harris looks in mode but his ceiling are these pretty but useless 30s 40s

 

[adil79]

Pathetic hafeez, should be replaced by Haris at 4.

 

[hussain.r97]

Hafeez's knock sucked the momentum out, we're about 20 runs behind at the moment.

 

[Mueez]

Can the typical rona dhona stop?

 

[MRSN]

Our sorry campaign ended in the very first match against the West Indies. Should have boarded a plane home the next day.

The fluke against England was pointless - we were never making it past the group after losing to West Indies by completely destroying our NRR.

Amazing how our team was in England for whole month yet couldn't prepare for WI short pitch bowling

 

[Captain caveman]

Harris looks in mode but his ceiling are these pretty but useless 30s 40s

I reckon he will score 44!

 

[Crickeet]

Markram being made to look like a world beater reminiscent of what they did in UAE when Finch did the same.

 

[Mamoon]

Amazing how our team was in England for whole month yet couldn't prepare for WI short pitch bowling

They are not good enough. Our fans think it is all about playing with fear, not working hard blah blah. When you are incapable, you are incapable.

 

[Ahmed216]

Harris looks in mode but his ceiling are these pretty but useless 30s 40s

I dont think hes got as many opportunities as other useless players we have

 

[Titan24]

Which Malik and Asif shown us.

Malik has been horrible for 2 years now so it wasn’t surprising while Asif is just a hitter of the ball not a batsman who will score centuries as even his domestic stats represent.

Haris should have been playing over Malik from the very start but again hats off to the Coach, captain and chief selector being there.

 

[MMHS]

Is this a good call to send Hari? I want PAK team to show more flexibility here - most unlikely that PAK will be all-out here, why not send Imad and try to blast few quick overs?

 

[Cricket lover 27]

Babar’s lack of strike rotation is certainly alarming.

 

[dani rana]

Babar sheer lovely strike rate ... the boys playing well

 

[IMMY69]

I can understand criticism if the wicket was good and we were batting like donkeys...
But this track looks slow and getting slower...
So maybe better to wind it in and see how the Saffies bat in this wicket..

You don’t want to look like an idiot

 

[QalandarFan]

Mark Nicholas has the best broadcast voice and the right amount of enthusiasm and passion. I love his commentary but people don’t like him because he doesn’t provide any technical insight.

Listening to Mark is so refreshing especially in a test match always love hearing him call a test match he'll make it fun to watch. I don't need the technical insight we can have that in the post match show. Easily my favorite commentator since Richie Benaud.

 

[nextover666666]

what score can pak defend on this pitch according to you guys

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

We needed experience of Hafeez, Malik and Sarfraz

good luck...

 

[adil79]

I dont think hes got as many opportunities as other useless players we have

This.

 

[Zeshan547]

how selfish is babar and it's not that he don't have shots, he don't even try them and don't even rotate strike on every ball, enough of this he is young and will improve with time excuse. if he didn't have the ability I could have lived with but not live with his phattu intent

 

[Captain caveman]

Kids want to go to the cinema, i think i am going to bail out on this pathetic game!

 

[castortroy]

This is scandalous against Markran

 

[DRsohail]

Is this a good call to send Hari? I want PAK team to show more flexibility here - most unlikely that PAK will be all-out here, why not send Imad and try to blast few quick overs?

Senuors have done teh damage , we will do nothing significant, 259 is in.

 

[dani rana]

Poor mans virat lohli

 

[Mamoon]

Third class knock by Babar so far. Can he redeem himself in the last 15 overs?

 

[Titan24]

Is this a good call to send Hari? I want PAK team to show more flexibility here - most unlikely that PAK will be all-out here, why not send Imad and try to blast few quick overs?

One of the many issues of this management is their rigidness.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Aiden Ajmal bowling.

 

[AAli98]

Any kind of victory in the nxt 4 matches will give leeches like malik hafeez wahab safraz imad reason to prolong there disgusting careers by another 12 months.

 

[JibranAnsari]

babar should open the innings when he can pierce the field and get quick runs , his utility coming after 15th over reduces a significant bit.

 

[castortroy]

what score can pak defend on this pitch according to you guys

Pak will need close to 300. Even then I think it won't be enough

 

[uberkoen]

Really all this does is show the caliber of our players and how none of these guys would get into the playing XI of any of the top 5 teams and this is why we are where we are.

 

[adil79]

babar playing markram dots. what is happenin>

 

[QalandarFan]

I can understand criticism if the wicket was good and we were batting like donkeys...

You don’t want to look like an idiot

Oh but according to PP experts this is a 300+ wicket. These guys talk about the wickets like they are batting on the wickets. Like those types of post should be blocked because none of us sitting here can say what type of score is good on a wicket. Still remember those guys saying that England match wicket was a 500 run wicket.

 

[imshally81]

 

[Mueez]

4 runs finally!

 

[msb314]

Good boundary by Babar

 

[cricketfan11]

One of the commentators has just remarked Babar Azam seems to have slowed down and is now under pressure

 

[Mamoon]

Babar’s biggest issue is that he only relies on poor deliveries to score boundaries. A batsman of his talent should be able to make something out of nothing as well.

 

[JibranAnsari]

8 per over can get us 299. can we?

 

[DRsohail]

[MENTION=79064]MMHS[/MENTION] do you seriously think Babar is done a bad job?? to me he did play shots ith no gap found, Hafiz sucked it up after Imam.

 

[Afhan Ali]

[MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION]!
Is Babar have the ability to become a world class player?
In this World Cup he is unable to up to his hype

 

[Titan24]

Rabada is an excellent athlete, chased both the balls till the last breath

 

[Mueez]

Pakistan are 20 short at the moment.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Babar’s biggest issue is that he only relies on poor deliveries to score boundaries. A batsman of his talent should be able to make something out of nothing as well.

He is a very content fellow , hardly any drive in him.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Pak should get 300 from here...pitch is also spin and becoming slow....chasing is not gonna be easy

 

[zee-za-man]

no hasan ali or asif ali this pair needs to up the run rate. Anything less than 300 will be curtains for Pakistan thwy need ro win convincingly for improvement in net run rate.

 

[IAJ]

From here, the RR should just increase

 

[imshally81]

 

[uberkoen]

[MENTION=79064]MMHS[/MENTION] do you seriously think Babar is done a bad job?? to me he did play shots ith no gap found, Hafiz sucked it up after Imam.

Until that last boundary he was playing with a strike rate of 75ish and that is unacceptable at this level and specially in this situation

 

[Ronaldo7]

[MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION]!

What hype?
People know he struggles in pressure situations.

 

[Usman Chadda]

The absence of Asif Ali will be crucial today.

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Haris Sohail oozes class. I can not believe they dare to drop someone like him!

Haris Sohail would even make a better opener than Imam that's how good he is against fast bowlers.

 

[saeed5646]

What a shot from haris

 

[IMMY69]

Suhail has looked absolute class today..

 

[DRsohail]

Oh but according to PP experts this is a 300+ wicket. These guys talk about the wickets like they are batting on the wickets. Like those types of post should be blocked because none of us sitting here can say what type of score is good on a wicket.

I will not take you seriously, you are after all a Qalandar fan.

 

[JibranAnsari]

has haris already surpassed maliks score in the tournament?

 

[msb314]

4 by Haris!

 

[MRSN]

That shot from Harrid shows how clueless our captain coach and selectors were. Harris should have been playing against India and Aus

 

[Mamoon]

[MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION]!
Is Babar have the ability to become a world class player?

Ability yes, but he needs fire in his belly. He still has 15 overs today, and all the time to do something special.

 

[PakistanMeriJaan]

Harris should of come before Hafeez. He looks good.

 

[adil79]

kamal at haris. I have been telling this platform that haris is a lot better than asif and malik/hafeez.

 

[imshally81]

 

[Zeshan547]

wish Harry was 10 years younger and 10 kg lighter, The guy can bat.

 

[Ronaldo7]

Haris should have batted at no.4

 

[Afhan Ali]

Wow

 

[IMMY69]

What a shot by Suhail!
Wow

 

[Mueez]

Babar playing without an elbow guard?

He should’ve learned his lesson after he broke it last year.

 

[MMHS]

[MENTION=79064]MMHS[/MENTION] do you seriously think Babar is done a bad job?? to me he did play shots ith no gap found, Hafiz sucked it up after Imam.

He is playing absolutely perfect - on this track our 1, 2 & 4 plays 140 balls and scores 44, 44, 20 - what do you expect him to do?

 

[saeed5646]

Time for trolls to hide again hahahahaha what a shot

 

[JibranAnsari]

great shot

 

[MRSN]

And a voww what a shot. Malik and Asif could only dream

 

[babajee]

To think they benched Haris for Malik

 

[Galla]

Why would you send hafeez before haris is beyond me

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Haris is looking a class apart from the hacks we've been playing ahead of him.

 

[IAJ]

Can’t believe they had this class batsman sitting out for Malik
