Pakistan vs Sri Lanka | 2nd T20I | Abu Dhabi | October 27, 2017 | Sri Lanka Innings

ICC should amend it's rule - if a bowler is called for chucking and later proved to be, results of the match (s) that went to his team's favor should be reversed. FIFA awards full point with a 3-0 win to even the losing side in such case (s).
 
Finally, the match is turning out to be worth following.
 
Fans are never happy.

If Misbah had won 9 off the last 10 ODIs even if it was against Zimbabwe or Kenya these same fans would have been erecting statues in his honour.


Sarfaraz's only sin is hails from Karachi. These small people will never be able to look past that fact.

Hasan Ali has gone for 21 off his two overs, Usman Khan has gone for 18 of his two overs. Mr Hasan123 better captain than Saifi, please tell us who should bowl in this situation?

Faheem has 2 overs left and has only gone for 10 runs. Could have bowled him out. Hasan Ali is our best bowler, he could still have faith in him to come good.

Didn't say I am better captain than Sarfraz just giving my opinion. But I forgot if you say anything not positive about Sarfraz you become a sworn enemy. It's a crime to critizce Sarfraz.

People won’t like to hear it, but even today Kamran is a better LOI player than him.

The problem is that we need his captaincy. It is quite unfortunate that a mediocre player like him has turned out to be a good captain.

Sarfaraz thinks his the 2nd coming of Bradman in reality he is a poor mans kamran akmal.. hasnt scored a meaningfull run for a while.
 
Really sad to listen to the Sri Lankan commentators getting so excited for this batting purpose. Its nothing but decent with a bit of luck. You won't believe these guys have seen the likes of Jayasuriya, Jayawardene or Sangakkara play for their country. Really sad.
 
Pakistan has won last 10 of the last 12 T20s.



Saifi haters I have one message for you:

:shh :shh :shh :shh :shh
 
[MENTION=21215]srh[/MENTION] brilliant idea but around 20 years ahead of its time I guess.

I understand your love for Kamran but Sarfraz has come good when it mattered and a bad run of form should not let us forget his success with the bat in the past. His heroics in the WC, the English ODI series not too long ago and his crucial runs in the CT make him 100 times the batsman that Kamran ever was.

Even the Sri Lankan “match winning” innings in the CT was a fluke, thanks to the dropped catches. A tailender like Amir looked more assured than him.

This is cricket not football. One player alone on average doesnt have the same impact as in football.

Also how often does FIFA changes the score when it's later after the match found out that the goal was due to an offside?

People are allowed to critizce Sarfraz. It doesn't make them haters but some of the comments on here are OTT that I won't deny.
 
Why sarfraz not trusting fahim like his doing with hafeez ? Fahim bowled better than him and he created the pressure for the first wicket

Yes no single cricketer is above the team, but the criticism is WAY over the top.
 
Our so-called best attack in the world is finally getting exposed. Hasan has been poor for a change and sab ke totay urr gai.
 
Hm I wouldn't even look for wickets right now, just contain the runs. Perera might come out and smack us, better if he doesn't. Better for us if they post a decent score and we can have a crack at chasing
 
This nation really deserves King Kami as keeper, even if Kami plays like gilly I don't want him in team. Troublemaker... same people advocates Rizwan as a savior some time ago and all Rizwan turned out was a specialist fielder. Sarfi doing a fine job and let him handle the team his way. The same critics 'll join the bandwagon once we win the WC19.

I highly doubt that Sarfraz really thinks that.

And does italways have to be Karman vs Sarfraz? How about look for younger and better alternatives.

As soon as people mention Karman their critic of sarfraz becomes invalid.

Kamran bahi asked for three more chances he got them but wasn't convincing.

When Sarfraz is getting compared to a TTF like Kamran Akmal, you know these 'fans' have nothing better to do than troll.

It's one match. Even ATG Aussie attack had a bad match here or there.

Yes that hundred against Ireland was legendary. In the CT, he only played one crucial innings thanks to Perera.

Kamran has always been a better batsman, and the shouting midget will never come close to the knocks Kamran has played in his pomp.
 
[MENTION=138254]Syed1[/MENTION] shut this regionalism ****, we all are as Pakistani as you, and want our team to be even better but some people get offended even if someone call a spade a spade, Has sarfraz done and won everything one can win in cricketing world, or has he become perfect?

All said and done.. Shadab is such a bright star. Look at other bowlers economy and look at his, even if there are no wickets.




I hope meine nazar nahi laga di ho :yk



Edit: Wicket thru run out again :ibutt
 
When our bowlers aren’t taking wickets... the fielders do

Pakistan zindabad

:salute

No he is not perfect by any means, but you have a better captain in mind who is currently part of the 15? If not then I'm sorry he cannot be replaced.
 
Bowling Shadab at the stage is a risk but he could get a wicket so it's a risk worth taking.

Don't teach me cricket. Among all team games, cricket is by far individual dominant. Bring Messi for any South Asian team - still it'll be 10/12-0 against Brazil or France; but one innings of AB can beat any team for even Ireland.

Off-side is part of the game - in cricket they don't change wrong decision, once it's listed in score card.
 
Sarfraz is that student who gives advice to others all the time but then fails the exam himself. Every class tends to have one.

Fantastic post. I wrote almost the same, but then had to delete it after reading your reply.

Its not been a bad bowling performance. If Pakistan bats at a decent level, they should be able to gun this total down.

For that to happen Sir Shehzad will have to go back to the pavilion without wasting too many deliveries.

Bhai its just 1 performance and you start criticising
Click to expand...

Hasan’s amazing performance has covered up the shortcomings of the other bowlers. This is a nothing attack without him and Shadab.
 
Sri Lanka have left themselves a lot to do here. Another mediocre batting performance.

Only Shehzad can ensure they win tonight.
 
Keep in mind this Pakistan attack is missing Amir and Rumman. So this is definitely not our full strength bowling attack.
 
Brilliant stuff from Shady. Really loving this new faster one he's used in this series.

Thats 2 main bowlers out of 5 a team can use. 8 overs. Thats a lot of overs where opposition can lose the game. Point?

Yet here they are, and here they destroy. So what? You don't subtract Kohli's performance from India or Starc or Steve Smith from Australia do you?

The same Ireland who knocked Pakistan out of the WC when your beloved Kamran was in the team.

And Sarfraz had done the damage by the time Perera dropped him so there's no logic behind your statement. He was hardly required in the other innings so that isn't exactly his fault.

Anyway, I'm not claiming Sarfraz is some world beater, but he Kamran the batsman will never come close to Sarfraz the batsman, and don't even get me started about his keeping. Funny how you get reduced to calling our captain a "shouting midget" to get your point across. - And just to let you see the irony, Sarfraz is taller than Kamran.
 
Anyone notice how Shady has developed Afridi-esque seam-up delivery? He bowled a couple in the last match and today he picked up wicket with it. Obviously Lala could hit the low 130s, Shady bowls them around 115ish

I’m not talking about both T20s and ODIs. There are too many passengers in the bowling attack.
 
Agree with you but the same we can say with indian team as well top 3 rohit dhawan kohli covering their batting. And i think usman is a decent bowler and will become better with time. And forget about rumman who is injured.

That's why I said on average.

I am well aware of the impact Afridi alone can have.

But your suggestion was still ridiculous and came across as bitter.

This is a poor SRL side - I knew they'll lose 5-0 & 3-0; but they were robbed in 2nd ODI, which'll go in the memory of us who watch cricket for it' greatness and fail play as a dark chapter of PAK cricket. Srafraz & Micky (everyone), knowing that Hafeez was chucking bluntly, still went for his full quota, which wasn't graceful at all. And, they kept him bowling once he was reported (for him to change his action again)
 
Imad has done well today.

Caught one, direct hit run out, and 4 overs for 23 on a 140+ pitch while bowling in power play too.

Best bowler in this team and the world.

Lala used to deliver it with a completely different action too. Shadab more or less maintains his action.
 
Brilliant captaincy again by Sarfraz when the strike bowler didnt flourish..
But the clueless haters here deserve fixers, oath takers, politicians and selfish players :) Losers who deserve to have a team flipping at bottom of the rankings.

Graphic there just shown Pakistan have one of the best economy rates in the world in the last two years in T20s.
