Pakistan vs Sri Lanka | 1st T20I | Abu Dhabi | October 26, 2017 | Pakistan Innings

[Watsupdoc]

finally Babar off the mark...

 

[arehaan]

I am.sure Fakhar doesn't like to bat with Ahmed given his style and Babar A is adding to the woes

 

[MRSN]

And People said Baber can play fast?

 

[Syed1]

He's the best hack we have tried so far in recent years.)

Still wipes the floor with Akmals which is good enough for me

 

[Boi]

Finally.

 

[Aman]

Yeah that happened a grand total of two times

Nice of you to show your ignorance, as usual.

ODIs

T20s (a couple slightly over, but I was giving a range. It's quick nonetheless)

Maybe post when you actually know what you're talking about in future.

 

[7sins]

He's the best hack we have tried so far in recent years.)

Name one player that can replace fakhar ? Mostly our domestic batsmen are hacks so what ? Sharjeel 1.0 was also a heck then he become better

 

[Boi]

Babar can't play spin

 

[MRSN]

In all honest, Shehzad is a much better player than fakher if he just sorts out his mental problems.

 

[ExpressPacer]

A friendly reminder that you didn't want Fakhar to be even picked in the Champions Trophy

You are a legend.

 

[Syed1]

Bobby now this is getting interesting.



Nothing to fear we still have Shehzad out there

 

[QalandarFan]

Babar gone

 

[Ellipsism]

Can't believe people are calling Fakhar a hack. The important thing is, he's come good in every single match that we needed him to. Hen the team is winning, you back him to take risks and not change his game according to the situation.

It's the shots he resorts to when things aren't going his way- he becomes very hack-ish, swinging at everything across the line. Now look at that shot he played to get bowled, what in the world was he trying to do?

 

[Markhor]

Pretty grim stuff against a second-string attack.

 

[Syed1]

You are a legend.

Yes quoting posts out of context makes one a legend.

 

[AFM]

with the only boundary so far

Awkward

 

[Watsupdoc]

Babar gone )

 

[Rana]

Malik here to score a fluent 40 off 30

 

[Titan24]

It's the shots he resorts to when things aren't going his way- he becomes very hack-ish, swinging at everything across the line. Now look at that shot he played to get bowled, what in the world was he trying to do?

That shape and swing did the trick otherwise he hit the same shot to Rabada in CT 17

 

[Plumb]

not sure when they 'll learn that Babar is not for t20s

 

[Abdullah719]

Hafeez batting below Malik

 

[Rana]

OK, im not sure about this shot selection with Shahzad. Very strange

 

[syed abbas]

Ideal platform for Malik.He will bash the spinners and people will label him as power-hitter and a must for next WC in England where he is bound to fail.

 

[Rana]

Good running

 

[7sins]

In all honest, Shehzad is a much better player than fakher if he just sorts out his mental problems.

He didnt sort out in 5 to 6 years what made you think he will in future?

 

[Markhor]

Damning statistic about our performance in the Powerplay overs in T20Is there.

 

[Abdullah719]

not sure when they 'll learn that Babar is not for t20s

I know right? I mean it's not like he won Man of the Series in the last T20I series we played or anything... oh wait

 

[Syed1]

The discussion was only about T20s but you had to bring in ODIs to make a point.

 

[Titan24]

not sure when they 'll learn that Babar is not for t20s

May be when his average is below 48 and strike rate is below 123 ��

 

[Watsupdoc]

This is pathetic we are not even going at 4 an over -_-

 

[Aman]

This is what happens when you play negative cricket.

Match would almost be over if Pakistan played with intent.

 

[Rana]

The leg spinner should be targetted

 

[Shinwari Khan]

SIR Babar gets off the strike in 6 balls and then gets out!!! That’s t20 cricket for ya!

 

[Markhor]

[MENTION=132954]Aman[/MENTION] does that screenshot also include the number of New Zealand World Cup and Champions Trophy wins ?

 

[Syed1]

11 off 17 by the people's champion

 

[Rana]

The discussion was only about T20s but you had to bring in ODIs to make a point.

Just a minute ago you defended Sarfaraz's captaincy by saying we won 9 ODI's in a row...Why not stick to T20's then??

 

[Aman]

[MENTION=132954]Aman[/MENTION] does that screenshot also include the number of New Zealand World Cup and Champions Trophy wins ?

Was that the question?

 

[Titan24]

Highest win %age since T20 world cup 2016 goes to Pakistan

 

[MRSN]

Sharjeel was good. He could put fast bowlers wherever he wanted to. Too bad we lost a gem to corruption.

Our ODI batting line up is pretty messed up to be honest. In the middle order we have Baber,malik,Hafeez and Sarfraz as our power hitter and then the tail starts. This means Pakistan has no other choice but to rely heavily on layers like Fakher to work.

We should learn from England. Their ODI side may not have great power hitters but it is so perfectly balanced that you won't be surprised if they chase down 400.

 

[Syed1]

That was a different discussion. This is a different discussion.

 

[Ellipsism]

Want to see Faheem bat next.

 

[Aman]

It's far more impressive to chase it down that quickly in ODIs )

And 3-4 doesn't = grand total of 4. Fact is we've chased totals down 8 times within 15 overs.

6 within 12.2 overs.

 

[Syed1]

Was that the question?

Yeah the question was only about T20s and I said a grand total of two times and you could only find four instances of which you yourself admit are marginal.

 

[QalandarFan]

Malik showin how its done.

 

[Markhor]

Highest win %age since T20 world cup 2016 goes to Pakistan

I wonder what changed after the T20 WT20 debacle...

 

[Rana]

That was a different discussion. This is a different discussion.

You love memes with a man putting a finger on his mouth why dont you do everyone on match threads a favour by applying it on yourself instead of constantly trolling Pakistan fans with your hate

 

[Syed1]

I wonder what changed after the T20 WT20 debacle...

Wait till you hear about what changed after someone else was booted out

 

[7sins]

Malik showing that experience does matter

 

[Titan24]

Tbh if Fakhar is a hack as some posters are saying then Jason Roy is no less and to some extent Alex Hales as well but they are pretty important components of England's limted over squad

 

[Plumb]

I know right? I mean it's not like he won Man of the Series in the last T20I series we played or anything... oh wait

too early..lol playing against WXI proves everything OKAY!!... mark this and wait and watch he is not a t20 player

 

[Aman]

Yeah the question was only about T20s and I said a grand total of two times and you could only find four instances of which you yourself admit are marginal.

You do realize it's a lot more difficult to chase down totals that quickly in ODIs?

I never said it was constrained to T20s, I said I remember McCullum and Ryder/Guptill chasing down totals with 10-12 overs.

Sharjeel also failed in the UAE. These slow and low pitches don’t suit these kind of batsmen.

 

[Markhor]

Dubai and Sharjah don't deserve to be compared to the deplorable venue that is Abu Dhabi. At least there you can mostly hit through the line of the ball.

Here there's hardly any pace or carry in the wicket so batsmen cannot easily time or play their shots fluently.

 

[IAJ]

Malik is class against spin

 

[7sins]

Sharjeel also failed in the UAE. These slow and low pitches don’t suit these kind of batsmen.

Agree with you some guys want decent pitches where ball comes to bat quite nicely. Sharjeel failed against lankans in his first few series in uae then in psl he tured it on and after that we played all matches outside uae so we dont know how much he improved.

 

[Syed1]

You are just changing goal posts after you couldn't present sufficient evidence to refute what I said.

 

[Titan24]

Playing against WI means nothing, playing against Srilanka means nothing and so is the case with playing against Zimbabwe and Bangladesh. So only teams few lf our players should be playing against are Aus, SA, Eng and India or may be NZ.

So I guess players should boycott series against some of the teams as performances against them mean nothing....

 

[Syed1]

Hum sub ka shehzada scoring 18 off 25

 

[7sins]

I dont know why we are not batting first we are chasing for last few games

 

[Rana]

Easy win from here

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Hafeez batting below Malik

Good move. Hope Sarfraz come in next.

 

[7sins]

I think mickey will try umar amin in next match in place of fakhar

 

[Abdullah719]

too early..lol playing against WXI proves everything OKAY!!... mark this and wait and watch he is not a t20 player

You said "not sure when they'll learn".... you were expecting for him to be dropped after winning the MOS award in the previous series?

He's also the 5th ranked T20I batsman....

 

[IAJ]

Shadab looks like a real happy guy Ma sha Allah.

 

[Shinwari Khan]

Shehzad will score 60 at SR of 140 Mark my words!!

 

[Rana]

Hum sub ka shehzada scoring 18 off 25

I just checked, your guru Sarfaraz hasnt scored more than 5 runs in a limited overs innings since the champion's trophy

 

[mmkextreme_1]

Malik saab playing on a different pitch compared to everyone else.

Great shot

 

[Syed1]

I just checked, your guru Sarfaraz hasnt scored more than 5 runs in a limited overs innings since the champion's trophy

Still hundred times more valuable for the side than Shehzads and Akmals.



Infact Saifi can score ducks in his next twenty innings and still will be more valuable for the side than those two ever were.

 

[Plumb]

You said "not sure when they'll learn".... you were expecting for him to be dropped after winning the MOS award in the previous series?

He's also the 5th ranked T20I batsman....

there is a way to do everything. Not dropped "rested" If he is your asset save it for bigger formats lets give other bench players a go at these t20s against weaker side especially.

 

[Syed1]

Gifter is here... Shaba Perara bhai get Malko to make it more interesting

 

[7sins]

I just checked, your guru Sarfaraz hasnt scored more than 5 runs in a limited overs innings since the champion's trophy

Even if he scores 50 runs in his next 10 or 20 innings so what ? He will still be the captain

 

[Ummii]

Shezzy will be out soon

 

[Shinwari Khan]

that’s FOUR from Shehzad!

 

[MRSN]

Tbh if Fakhar is a hack as some posters are saying then Jason Roy is no less and to some extent Alex Hales as well but they are pretty important components of England's limted over squad

may be but they are good hacks. They can dominate fast bowling pretty well which is all you need from your openers to give you a flying start. Fakher is a poor hack as most of the times he is looking for slogs with eyes closed and he is not as dominate against fast bowling either.

 

[Rana]

Still hundred times more valuable for the side than Shehzads and Akmals.



Infact Saifi can score ducks in his next twenty innings and still will be more valuable for the side than those two ever were.

Shahzad has scored 150 runs in his last 4 T20 innings. sarfaraz has got about 5

 

[MRSN]

Malik saab playing on a different pitch compared to everyone else.

Great shot

he's definitely playing on a different pitch...

 

[Shinwari Khan]

Shehzad marching swiftly to his 50*

 

[JoniInsafian]

Shadab looks like a real happy guy Ma sha Allah.

Relation?

 

[Aman]

You are just changing goal posts after you couldn't present sufficient evidence to refute what I said.

Regardless, 3 doesn't equal 2.

And the point of us chasing totals down totals within 8-12 overs more than twice stands, whether you include ODIs or not.

You're wrong on all counts as usual.

 

[Syed1]

Shahzad has scored 150 runs in his last 4 T20 innings. sarfaraz has got about 5

Those 5 runs are worth more than Shehzad's 150. Well done Saifi


The MVP of the side
