Is Sarfraz a good keeper? Any mistakes?

dropped mathews in 1st innings

 

[HASHAM2]

if Top-3 had scored 100 runs
We would had been in Good Position now

128/6 Would had been better

 

[Badsha]

dropped mathews in 1st innings

Our kismat....


can't we find one that is at least reliable?

 

[Swing]

They should survive the day and then come back tomorrow and rack up some quick runs and hope that the tail wags.

Rahat and Ajmal can hang around.

 

[imshally81]

Double

 

[style_guru]

No. He should start smashing it.

I guess so. Running between the wickets would only aggravate the hamstrings. And its such an injury that takes a long time to heal completely.

 

[London_Lahori]

We need to try and get 100 more runs from here.

At least get a lead of 120-150

 

[imshally81]

No review..... looking plumb

 

[London_Lahori]

Top three let us down. They got out too cheaply.

Pretty much, they were 19-3 after that we are 234-3.

Top 3 should have got 100 between them.

 

[Sunny786]

 

[Swing]

Sarfraz going at a good strike rate. Seems comfortable at the crease now.

 

[Sam18696]

Ohh Bilawal clearly struggling

 

[Badsha]

Shouldn't we get Bhatti off?

 

[imshally81]

7 runs in last over

 

[style_guru]

Bhatti will never be the same again, if the damage to his hammies is not prevented.

 

[Madplayer]

Our kismat....

seems unlikely . Rizwan is the last hope

 

[CalculatedRisk]

Bhatti is the type of player who gives his all. I really admire his spirit.

 

[Badsha]

seems unlikely . Rizwan is the last hope

But is Sarfraz known to regularly drop catches?

 

[HASHAM2]

Ehsan Should Replace Injured bhatti
or maybe Sadaf Hussain for Final test

 

[CalculatedRisk]

They missed a ball of the over

 

[imshally81]

They missed a ball of the over

Oh yeah

 

[imshally81]

4

 

[Madplayer]

But is Sarfraz known to regularly drop catches?

he is not the great behind the stumps. And neither is he a good enough batsman. Rizwan is said to be good. We only have to see him play now.

 

[CalculatedRisk]

Yeah, it's really unprofessional to risk Bhatti a 22 year guy's career. There is a danger of serious injury.

 

[amjad145]

Take that haters . Sarfraz is batting superbly

 

[Madplayer]

credit where due. Sarfaraz has really batted well here.

 

[Kiri]

46/6. 150+ might be tough

 

[Sherlock]

Dropped Matthews off Rahat, if I recall correctly.

 

[CrowingRooster]

Take that haters . Sarfraz is batting superbly

You need to hope that lasts for a longer time still

 

[Hamza_]

I really like bhatti the cricketer, gives his full effort in either batting or bowling. IN SHA ALLAH He will have a great international career for pakistan.

 

[HASHAM2]

42/6
108 More Runs Pakistan need

Remember vs England in Abu Dhabi (Pakistani team were able to defend 144 2 year ago)

 

[zabalestmsm]

Lets hope they survive plus score runs as well. Minimum 200 lead must.

 

[Kiri]

42/6
108 More Runs Pakistan need

Remember vs England in Abu Dhabi (Pakistani team were able to defend 144 2 year ago)

but that was England

Exactly always gives his full. Passionate.

 

[Kiri]

SL NEED sarfraz out. This fellow got some good FC stats.

 

[Asif321]

Sarfaraz doesnt look tailender at all as many say , he has good defence and always busy looking for runs

 

[London_Lahori]

Sarfraz needs to double what he's got here.

 

[London_Lahori]

Should Bhatti just attack considering his injury? See if he can get us a quick 30/40 maybe.

 

[MenInG]

Sarfraz needs to double what he's got here.

or triple it while he's at it!

 

[London_Lahori]

Bhatti has a test match average of 46 at the moment lol.

 

[HASHAM2]

but that was England

England was Number-1 Team at That Time Remember

 

[London_Lahori]

or triple it while he's at it!

Now that would be special.

I'm hoping Pakistan can muster there way to 120-150, preferably the latter score.

 

[khalil1986]

Sarfraz has looked excellent, has been positive with his footwork which saved him from being LBW at the beginning also. If these two can somehow hang around till end of day we might draw this otherwise looks like we will be 1 down with 1 to go.

 

[Kiri]

England was Number-1 Team at That Time Remember

Considering they're the same team you beat 4-0 at the time and the time SL bundled them out with mediocre bowling for under 120 at the time in Galle.

How long till the rain?

Our tail usually adds 20-30 at best so its down to these two I predict a lead of under a 100 but hope for a lead of 175

 

[razabbas]

Bhatti is clearly struggling here well if sarfraz can score 100-130 with tail then it will be a massiv eboost for his career and good for the team too all eyes on sarfraz

 

[Kiri]

Just bowl full and straight

 

[Madplayer]

Just bowl full and straight

no please bowl short and wide

 

[razabbas]

Lankan targeting bhatti

Tail has to play out of there Skin

 

[m.shah]

Bhatti is struggling here

 

[Madplayer]

Lankan targeting bhatti

showing no signs of insaniyat

 

[HASHAM2]

as long as Bhatti will be there Runs will come Fast i think

 

[Kiri]

If SL win, MOM should be Kaushal Silva. Brilliant catches. Great fielding. Batting was just the icing on the cake.

 

[Sam18696]

These two are making batting on this pitch look easy.

 

[Asif321]

had bhatti been fully fit

 

[HASHAM2]

Yorker how does that missed

 

[razabbas]

How it missed the stumps Bhatti ridding on luck

 

[razabbas]

had bhatti been fully fit

Still he is looking far better then

 

[Kiri]

Sarfraz and Bhatti is burying Pak's top order.

 

[Kiri]

How did that miss...

 

[Badsha]

I just hope this isn't long term damage to Bhatti

 

[amjad145]

I just hope this isn't long term damage to Bhatti

Calm down man

 

[amjad145]

Sarfraz looking solid . Playing everything on merit. Shots along the ground .

 

[ads101]

46/6. 150+ might be tough

Don't think so.

200/250 we'd have a game I think.

 

[amjad145]

Bhatti looking better than hafeez

 

[DW44]

shot. :4 :4 :4

 

[Boi]

aha great shot from Bhatti.

 

[amjad145]

Super 4 by bhatti boy

 

[Sunny786]

by Bilawal

 

[Badsha]

Rameez ffs stop jinxing!

 

[Madplayer]

shot

 

[amjad145]

Plays straight too. Fine all round player bhatti boy

 

[Badsha]

I honestly trust Bhatti more with the bat than Shafiq

 

[HASHAM2]

What a Shot from Bhatti

This guy is Genuine all rounder

Whatever happened with Pakistan in 2013
but we have Find some Good 2 Good Fast Bowling all rounders (Ehsan adil and Bhatti)

and 1 Genuine Fast Bowling all rounder Anwar ali

There were so many Thread going around where is Pakistani Fast Bowling all rounder

 

[Madplayer]

bhatti boy looking good

 

[Kianig89]

Bilawal Flintoff

 

[amjad145]

Need another 100 to 130 more runs.

 

[CalculatedRisk]

this bloke has a heart of a champion. we need to persist with fighters like Bhatti
