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

After 6 overs CRR 7, great to see. Perhaps I might not boycott this match after all.

I hope shadab gets hit for plenty of runs. The young boy needs to practice getting hit and feeling the heat.

We should have 2 concurrent match commentary threads one full of hate and wanting our team and players to fail and one normal one that enjoys the cricket
 
I became a huge fan of Danuskha when he scored that fabulous 50 against India in the Champion's trophy, he has a beautiful style of batting!
 
Becoming a fan of fahim ashraf can easily become our main all rounder need to give him more batting opportunities
 
Faheem surprisingly very economical as usual. Dont understand how he manages to go for so less, his bowling is pretty straight without much deviation

No bad idea! Sometimes opposing view is needed to expose the delusion.

No Pakistan fan would hate the team or want it to fail.

I just want them to practice chasing 150+ scores instead of 100, simple as that.

Sure. A Six to him then bowls the Lankan with a googly. Would be a fiercy wicket!

Sure why not.

In the CT final when pandya started hitting him you could see he was getting unsure about what to do.
 
85 mph by Faheem Ashraf

If this lad can give us a good 50 or so, he would be a bonafide selection in all formats very soon
 
Now even we are praying that SriLanka make some 180+ score to make this match more interesting.

Let's hope he gets a proper chance to bat for once.

I think if you look at our team then 150ish would be challenging enough.
 
hahaha who should Sarfraz abuse now he misses himself a easy chance of stumping.
 
Sarfraz is clearly a good captain, but also a horrendously rubbish cricketer.
 
one missed stumping and knives are out. Sarfi needs to calm himself down its affecting his keeping. Just like people go overboard in hyping the cricketer, same way some go overboard in their hate
 
[MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] we can't have it all, but by God sarfraz would be nowhere Atleast in LOIs if he wasn't captain, thorough passanger
 
Hafeez will bowl 4 overs for like around 25 runs and keep his stats looking good. We're stuck with him for a few years. :facepalm:

I disagree
He is not a good captain
even worst captains like Hafeez,Afridi or even azhar ali can win matches with this inform pakistani bowlers against this hapless lankan side
 
Sarfraz should only be in the Test team. Since he does not want to bat at #4 in ODIs so drop him all together from ODI team. And he never makes sense for T20 format.

OTT comments. He's a decent batsmen and an okay keeper.

I am talking about T20s. His keeping is terrible in this format and his batting non-existent. Overall, he is mediocre as well but is living off the purple patch in 2014-15 and the CT.
 
Sarfraz is trying his best to establish Hafeez here, which is a bit surprising, may be be he is instructed. Against this poor SRL side, first 5 bowlers have choked them to a RR of 6.2 in first 11 overs - now they'll desperately go after Hafeez. Not sure why he needs to be brought back at 12th overs when the regular bowlers have enough - looser here is Fahim. Last match as well.
 
PCB can't even have a proper announcer, this Current announcer speaking like PAK railway announcer, "Quetta express is arriving on platform No 2"

in ODIs too. He adds literally nothing. Other than his show off as a captain.

Things changed for the good as soon as he took over. Do you call that a coincidence? We would have been dumped out in the group stage of the CT with Azhar as captain.

He knows his cricket but unfortunately he isn’t good at playing it.

He doesn't offer a lot in t20s but don't think he will be dropped. Ideally we would be developing another keeper in this format and allow Sarfraz to concentrate on tests and ODIs.
 
So when Pakistani bowling does well then all credit to bowlers but when Pakistan bowling doesn't do well then knives out against captain.


Wah bhai wah
 
Where are the wrist slitters who were saying we should have batted first because SL wont cross one hundred?

The longer the format the better he keeps, which is surprising because it should be the other way around.
 
Yeah it's same like saying had India won 2011 WC if Dhoni wasn't captain, even though he played a good knock in Final, but he wasn't the exact and only reason India won, his overall performance was nothing too special.

Good point there is no need to bowl Hafeez now.

Pakistan should be playing Bismillah Khan in T20s. Such a clean hitter. I am surprised why Pakistan is wasting him :facepalm:

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?
 
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.

Believe me
no ifs and buts
still Pak would have lost 9 out of 10 times against lanka in that crucial match where he almost bottled it
 
Sri lanka knows pitch isnt that great and running for 1 and 2 this will be a test for pakistani batsmen today specially for tuk tuk shehzad

Not sure on Bismillah but another keeper should be in the squad just in case of Sarfraz getting injured.
 
Conspiracy theory is doing the rounds. Apparently PCB wants the Lahore T20 to be the series decider to boost fan interest.

So what about his fifties and century in England ODIs last year? He was our best batsman that series.

why not make Sarfraz a players coach? give every player bluetooth and Sarfraz will manage them from the bench
