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

[Green Patriot]

Time to accelerate now.

 

[uberkoen]

I am asking I think it can be in the sense its score board pressure and early wickets if pak can get them also body language of south Africa does not look best obviously 310 would be ideal

We don't have a Tahir in our team to slow the scoring.

 

[Ronaldo7]

India or Australia would win 95% time from here.

But we're not either.

 

[imshally81]

 

[ARK Rafay]

Softie gone!

 

[MRSN]

Brainless shot

 

[Mamoon]

It was coming, he was out of his comfort zone.

 

[Arsalan Pro]

 

[Madplayer]

"Selfish" babar out

 

[Afhan Ali]

And he throws it away Babar

 

[cricketfan11]

Wasim trying to say Haris should take the charge and Babar can go on like this until 47th over?
I don't agree
You have plenty of batting left
Babar must start the power hitting now

 

[IMMY69]

Afridi. He's going to get smacked all over.

But we have three potentially 4 spinners..

Babar’s wicket shows you that the ball doesn’t come on when the slower bowlers are on

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

average inngs from babar. Excepted more from him

 

[adil79]

Poor from Babar. Should have played to his strengths. Not in the air

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Babar failing when the push is on again. Not good enough I'm afraid.

 

[Captain caveman]

Oh bobby!

 

[JellyBro]

Babar still a little kamzore to hit them big sixes

 

[ARK Rafay]

Babar Azam is the best batting power play batsman we have and he doesn't open.

Mind blowing

 

[NauV]

Brainless!! absolutely brainless! . . . The guy on the other end is batting at 150 SR . . dude! Just taek singles . . boundareis will come!

 

[watson367]

Babar seriously needs to work on his power game

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Of all the bowlers, it had to be Phelukwayo to get Babar Azam.

 

[babajee]

Tried to copy Kohli there

 

[Afhan Ali]

Now
Pray for 280

 

[MRSN]

Needed Baber to carry on with singles and let other take charge

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Send wahab

 

[nextover666666]

well with babar out lets see what score Pakistan can get too

 

[Ram Shekhar]

Not selfish. Babar played his part. He is a stroke player, can't really force issue though. Excellent innings and setup a great total for Pakistan. Now onto the finishers.

 

[watson367]

Brainless!! absolutely brainless! . . . The guy on the other end is batting at 150 SR . . dude! Just taek singles . . boundareis will come!

Easy there. Only 9 overs to go, babar had to accelerate

 

[dani rana]

No 1 t20 batsman really ???

 

[Fahdi]

Babar really needs to work on his game for the last 7-8 overs.

 

[Green Patriot]

If Babar shows intent he is brainless.
If Babar does not show intent he is selfish.

Dear me its not easy to be Babar Azam.

 

[Captain caveman]

Babar failing when the push is on again. Not good enough I'm afraid.

Na he is , time for the railu katta to hit some boundaries!

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Looking at Haris Bat, i cant even decide if the pitch is slow or we just batted awfully in middle.

 

[MRSN]

Brainless!! absolutely brainless! . . . The guy on the other end is batting at 150 SR . . dude! Just taek singles . . boundareis will come!

Things like these our batsmen should be working on

 

[Ahmed216]

Poor from Babar. Should have played to his strengths. Not in the air

Right. With those wrists he should look to pick gaps more than tryng to muscle the ball over the boundary

 

[ARK Rafay]

Kaptaan hiding again

 

[Solid Snake]

Babar softie azam does what he does best...

 

[Invincible Gujjar]

Need to score atleast 60 runs

 

[uberkoen]

I hope its not Sarfraz that's coming out now. What a waste that would be.

 

[Ram Shekhar]

Babar is a proper top order batsman. Can't really play at death.That thing is clear for all I guess..

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

So people will still say he is selfish?

Fans will always cry.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

smart cricket

 

[ARK Rafay]

That is one of the best clutch innings from Haris Sohail!

 

[Invincible Gujjar]

Wow haris brilliant once again

 

[Omer2002]

yes lets drop the most consistent player in the team...no doubt he needs to improve his hitting game...if not need to learn sweeps and reverse sweep

 

[Ram Shekhar]

Good move to send Imad ahead of Sarfi

 

[barah_admi]

Tried tp up the rate but that is ok, the platform is there for someone like Imad to smash a few and for Haris to carry on.

 

[cricketfan11]

I think Babar has done his job
Good thing Imad has been promoted
Time for big shots now

 

[Ronaldo7]

The no 1 t20 batsman can't hit sixes. Embarrassing

 

[Hasan123]

Pathetic shot from Babar . There is no issue with him going aerial. But how is hitting a 6 over extra cover a good option?

 

[Titan24]

No 5 is looking decent for Haris especially when platform is set and field is spread

 

[Ram Shekhar]

The no 1 t20 batsman can't hit sixes. Embarrassing

Great thing is that he never needed to hit sixes to go to #1. Such is his class!

 

[Fahdi]

Any other team would be better off without Babar in these overs, with us it would be better he stay till over 45

 

[ARK Rafay]

I honestly thought there was no fielder on the cover when Babar played that shot. Absolutely brainless. I mean if you wanna take on the fielder you are better off taking that chance on mid wicket

 

[Mehndi155]

Speechless
This man haris sohail
Deserved to part of 11

 

[Ronaldo7]

He's holding the bat too lightly. Is that why it moved in his hand?

 

[Ahmed216]

Babar is a proper top order batsman. Can't really play at death.That thing is clear for all I guess..

He must open the innings. He plays some lovely shots in the PP with ease. Can easily score 7-8 boundaries with minimum risk

 

[IMMY69]

Pathetic shot from Babar . There is no issue with him going aerial. But how is hitting a 6 over extra cover a good option?

Seriously?
He was looking to hit it straight...

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

if they can manage 300 - pitch taking spin...will not be easy for saffers to chase

 

[Invincible Gujjar]

Babar did his part i guess.He is not power hitter so i didn't expect him to score 30 off 10

 

[watson367]

yes lets drop the most consistent player in the team...no doubt he needs to improve his hitting game...if not need to learn sweeps and reverse sweep

Pak fans love to bash players and call them brainless but, ironically they are also brainless

 

[Titan24]

Imad needs to get 30-50 of 17-30 balls

 

[ARK Rafay]

The no 1 t20 batsman can't hit sixes. Embarrassing

Part of the reason he is no. 1 t20 player is because he opens.

 

[sindhiboy]

haris sohail is showing batsmen how to use their brain and find other ways to get boundaries

 

[Shafi]

Guys Babar just don't have it. He can never an impact players. He can always be a good accumulator but not a power hitter.

 

[Ram Shekhar]

He must open the innings. He plays some lovely shots in the PP with ease. Can easily score 7-8 boundaries with minimum risk

Babar and Fakhar would make a deadly combination! Get Haris in at 3. He looks destined for the anchor role. Babar needs to go the Sachin way not the Kohli way...

 

[saeed5646]

Seriously?
He was looking to hit it straight...

Hahahha Exactly

 

[imshally81]

 

[cricketfan11]

haris sohail is showing batsmen how to use their brain and find other ways to get boundaries

Exactly - what I have been saying on this thread
Slow wicket/bad wicket etc - yes, it is slowing - but that doesn't mean runs can't be scored with good execution

 

[MRSN]

What a knock from sohail

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

N real acceleration in the last 10 overs but I guess beggars can't be choosers. Better to pick steady batsmen who can at least play proper shots than hopeful hacks who will hit one boundary and flop.

 

[saeed5646]

Morris is bonus andile is tough nut

 

[Ronaldo7]

Part of the reason he is no. 1 t20 player is because he opens.

He really should open in odis too. He'll utilize the powerplay well.

 

[IMMY69]

Every time a quicker bowler comes in the runs come easier..
The moment a spinner blows the batsmen lose their timing..
Even when a slow medium pacer bowls cutters it’s hard to time.

Am I the only one that can see this???

 

[adil79]

What a knock from sarfraz

lol. Absolutely, by not coming to bat.

 

[JellyBro]

Is that sachin tendulkar in the commentary box. Sounds girly

 

[Captain caveman]

Guys Babar just don't have it. He can never an impact players. He can always be a good accumulator but not a power hitter.

Thats good enough!

 

[Hasan123]

Haris looks amazing.

 

[MRSN]

He has made batting look so easy. Classy innings

 

[ARK Rafay]

Morris is bonus andile is tough nut

Sarfraz knew it. Andile had some prayers and magic behind him
