Pakistan vs Sri Lanka | 1st ODI | Dubai | Oct 13, 2017 | Pakistan innings

[Eagle_Eye]

ODI's are probably Shehzad's worst format... Need Azhar Ali back.

He's rubbish in all formats

 

[Blackbradman]

Shehzad laid the platform for the guys to come by seeing off the new ball..team man...

 

[Shafi]

Hopefully Babar will not play another 12 balls duck

 

[ask_analyse_act]

The new kit looks nice.

the name & number at back should be in black or dark grey. yellow makes the reading little difficult

 

[MMHS]

He was killed my fantasy XI as well

 

[Da_Future_Knick]

Man, Babar looks like a totally new player in LOI

 

[Kohli The King of Chase]

Pakistan back to Usual tuk tuk.

Now, I know why.

 

[Shafi]

15 runs after half of the power play
Same SL team lost to Zimbabwe in home ground

 

[Markhor]

Shehzad doing a Shehzad. Should've been axed after his CT failures.

 

[FreePalestine]

Complete waste of 2 overs.

I get what Shehzad is trying to do - settle in and then go big. But statistically, he will sometimes fail like this, after wasting lots of deliveries in the powerplay. Shehzad will make sure Pakistan always miss their opportunity in the powerplay. At least Azhar can take singles.

 

[hamaadqureshi819]

almost killed baber

Neither should open, nor the 3rd one picked for this series. In 10 overs PP, need to open with 2 free scoring players - Umar won't do worse than any of the 3, if he can run on his feet.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

by Fakhar!Great Shot!

 

[Alamgeer]

Another record for classy shahzad. Most dot balls faced for a duck for a pakistani opener.

 

[Titan24]

Neither should open, nor the 3rd one picked for this series. In 10 overs PP, need to open with 2 free scoring players - Umar won't do worse than any of the 3, if he can run on his feet.

Agreed with the Umar experiment.

 

[hussain.r97]

the name & number at back should be in black or dark grey. yellow makes the reading little difficult

Yeah, thought the same. But the main colour combination and design are good.

 

[Doosara]

Ahmed Shehzad needs to be dropped for good, completely hopeless player, after so much exposure at the International level and he's still at this point. Completely destroys the momentum at the top of the innings, they should have opened with M. Hafeez instead.

 

[Cricket World]

Shehzad played great innings for Srilanka. Now we play 48 overs only.

 

[hussain.r97]

Ahmed Shehzad needs to be dropped for good, completely hopeless player, after so much exposure at the International level and he's still at this point. Completely destroys the momentum at the top of the innings, they should have opened with M. Hafeez instead.

I reckon drop Shehzad, open with Hafeez, and bring Haris into the middle order.

 

[Shafi]

Now Babar is wasting balls.Team selection is destroying our chances. Playing for 220 in 300+ pitch. Pathetic

 

[Blackbradman]

Fakar striking at 90 per 100 balls and the run rate is still on 3 courtesy shehzad and babar

 

[Cricket World]

Imagine what would be our score take out Fakhar runs

 

[Kohli The King of Chase]

Babar Playing tests, I think he forgot, tests are over

 

[Shafi]

Babar shouldn't play this match after flop in test series. He is trying to gain form and it will cost us this game. Difference between so-called professional coach and smart coach

 

[badxhah]

Babar Playing tests

Or test mein LUDO kheltah hai

 

[Titan24]

Babar shouldn't play this match after flop in test series. He is trying to gain form and it will cost us this game. Difference between so-called professional coach and smart coach

I havent seen a coach dropping a player who averages 53 with a sr of 88, just bcz he is out of form in tests.

 

[Billa86]

Pakistan playing one too many dot balls.

 

[Blackbradman]

Now babar emulating Shehzad

 

[hamaadqureshi819]

imagine Shahzad and Azhar opening

 

[Blackbradman]

Babar and Shehzad played 4.3 yrs for 3 runs

 

[Shafi]

I havent seen a coach dropping a player who averages 53 with a sr of 88, just bcz he is out of form in tests.

Its reflecting his batting 3 of 15. Its not 200 runs pitch for sure.

 

[Kohli The King of Chase]

Fakhar again feeling the pressure.

 

[Blackbradman]

imagine Shahzad and Azhar opening

shan massod would be perfect partner for shehzad

 

[MMHS]

Looking at Babar's struggle while timing, I feel it's usual UAE wicket, extremely slow with a low, spongy bounce. What a shame for cricket.

 

[Shafi]

Should be easy win for Sri Lakla. This tuk tuk will cost us

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Awful start due to Shehzad and Babars tuk tuk.

 

[Doosara]

Ahmed departs and sends a clone (Babar Azam) - the conveyer belt is never ending! Hopefully Babar is able to play the long-game and not get out prematurely, because that will induce a great deal of pressure on the middle-lower order.

 

[Blackbradman]

Tuk Tuk with Athar ali khan and Arnold in the commentary box would make viewers sleep

 

[Rayyman]

He was killed my fantasy XI as well

He was in my team too.

 

[Doosara]

Someone needs to send a message out in a bottle, that test matches are over - maybe they did not get the team memo!

 

[Shafi]

Looking at Babar's struggle while timing, I feel it's usual UAE wicket, extremely slow with a low, spongy bounce. What a shame for cricket.

is 300 a par score in this pitch?

 

[JibranAnsari]

Disappointed how shehzad missed his 100 by some runs. Was a stylish innings anyway.

 

[Syed1]

Beautiful batting by golden boy Babar

 

[asadee]

Sarfaraz shud come in next to rotate the strike

 

[Blackbradman]

He was in my team too.

in my team too

 

[JibranAnsari]

Babar is totally blending in this pakistani lineup.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Beautiful batting by golden boy Babar

Someone needed to make sure that we dont miss shehzad much.

 

[Kohli The King of Chase]

What is Babar trying to do

 

[MMHS]

is 300 a par score in this pitch?

That's different issue - not only related to wicket. SRL's attack is poor while PAK will bowl under dew. But, Fakhar has hit 2 boundaries in almost 10 overs, which should be indicative.

 

[Billa86]

Babar clearly struggling here... worrying times for Pakistan

 

[JibranAnsari]

Aur haters ko babar ki seedhi drive...

 

[Syed1]

Stylish defense by golden boy need of the hour

 

[Blackbradman]

Elegant

 

[Arham_PakFan]

GOod shot

 

[Doosara]

Anyone who comes in next will be able to nudge it around except maybe Hafeez, but that won't cover the loss of a very slow start, unless you have serious power-hitters. It's the same old script.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Aur mazeed 3 runs score ker ke babar ne haters ka dil khatta ker fia..

 

[JibranAnsari]

Finally a good over.

 

[Titan24]

That's different issue - not only related to wicket. SRL's attack is poor while PAK will bowl under dew. But, Fakhar has hit 2 boundaries in almost 10 overs, which should be indicative.

Accoridng to Russel Arnold there has been no dew in the day and night test so it isnt expected

 

[Rayyman]

36/1 in 10.

Awful start.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

36/1 after 10 overs.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Hafeez should bat in the last 15 overs , middle of the innings wont be good for us.

 

[Billa86]

Pretty average PP. Need to build on from here.

 

[Blackbradman]

Mystery man on

 

[MMHS]

Accoridng to Russel Arnold there has been no dew in the day and night test so it isnt expected

Then, I am sure there will be dew today

 

[Titan24]

36/1 in 10.

Awful start.

An okish start considering the slow wicket

 

[JibranAnsari]

Review... Looks like its gona be close.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Review taken

 

[MMHS]

Probably 240 will be enough here, unless it dews like rain.

 

[Titan24]

Poor review

 

[JibranAnsari]

Buch gyaa

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Lol dickwella

 

[Rayyman]

An okish start considering the slow wicket

Okayish start would be 45/0

 

[Titan24]

Probably 240 will be enough here, unless it dews like rain.

Yes might get a few more if there are wickets in hand for the last 5, 6 overs

 

[ARK Rafay]

WTH is wrong with Dickwella? He always appeals!
Thank God because of him team lost review . Hahaha

 

[Billa86]

Sri Lankan keeper too excited

 

[Amjid Javed]

Snail like start here due to fact shezi wouldnt give fakhar the strike.

Fakhar and babar need to get a move on with scoring now.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Babar looks completely at loss against spinners

 

[MMHS]

Yes might get a few more if there are wickets in hand for the last 5, 6 overs

Dubai & UAE are worst ground for cricket, even ODI - dead slow track & out field on a large ground. Teams should look to target under per score & add to that, rather than targeting big.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Srilanka should take a short leg and leg slip.

 

[hamaadqureshi819]

what is wrong is Ramirez, y is he talking rubbish
