Pakistan vs Sri Lanka | 4th ODI | Abu Dhabi | 25/12/2013 | Pakistan Innings

[Amjid Javed]

hafeez the new man in

 

[London_Lahori]

Chill people lets not put pressure on the youngster so quick. He'll know himself what he done wrong.

:4 hafeez inside edge past keeper

 

[IAJ]

Looks like a small landmark

lols, the only good thing is I will probably get to 20K before you reach 100K

 

[mudassir84]

Looks like pakistan will be looking for new opener very soon

 

[London_Lahori]

He will have new found confidence. Poor guy had to walk in with an 18 average few years ago.

Yeah it helps to have decent numbers now behind you.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Hafeez knocking in the edges on his bat.

 

[Justcrazy]

of the mark

 

[JibranAnsari]

Poor stuff from sharjeel. Against moving ball I dont have much hopes from him.

 

[KB-24]

I'm no great fan of Sarjeel, I'm not totally convinced looking at him playing on the crease, his technique will last. But the ways he's gotten out isn't so much his technique. He's just thrown it away or made the wrong decision.

He's shown enough to be persisted with. He's a positive batsman who can improve with more international matches. Should be backed.

 

[CrowingRooster]

35-1 after 6

 

[Waqas Kharian]

35 in 6

 

[qamar84]

35/1 after 6 ov

 

[Justcrazy]

before this game his average was 24. now may be 20?

Now it dropped to 20.75

 

[London_Lahori]

Need to keep playing positively

 

[razabbas]

Looks like pakistan will be looking for new opener very soon

hafeez opening again and haris sohail in middle order or maqsood opening haris in middle order

:4 hafeez inside edge past keeper

I don't think Sajeel's technique is good enough for test cricket.

But watching him he has noticeable skills. He is very proactive in making runs. His shots are pretty good, and is able to play around the field. If he's raining in the runs in domestic, probably has the hunger to score a lot of runs too.

His judgement is pretty poor. Something which he can improve, especially with a decent coach.

 

[KB-24]

Maqsood should've been sent in. Hafeez is not a top order bat Misbah

 

[qamar84]

sharjeel need to improve his feet movement that's all and i think after some match and practice he will be able to rectify that

 

[Waqas Kharian]

common guys just win it today

 

[Justcrazy]

Sharjeel is an average player like Jamshed.

Both can be an @30 - 32 average player at most.

 

[London_Lahori]

Nice rotating here shehzad

 

[ads101]

He's shown enough to be persisted with. He's a positive batsman who can improve with more international matches. Should be backed.

Indeed agree, he's shown enough to be persisted with in LOI cricket. As I said I thought his technique would be a problem, I hate the way he stands at the crease, but watching him play think that isn't a problem, that's not why he's been getting out.

[Red Devil]

:4

 

[CrowingRooster]

And he's got a boundary

 

[Justcrazy]

It will be foolish to expect Sharjeel or Jamshed to be consistent.

 

[qamar84]

nice one by hafeez

 

[Amjid Javed]

shehzhad has to anchor inns here and hopefully hafeez will play positively here.

 

[Red Devil]

:4 more

 

[Waqas Kharian]

4 again

 

[CrowingRooster]

And the same result again!

 

[qamar84]

back to back prof is in great form

 

[Amjid Javed]

Nice shot for 4 by hafeez.

 

[Kiri]

Need Senanayake on.

Yeah I agree doesn't seem to be test level yet. Then again neither did sehwag. I wouldn't select him for test matches tbh but I wouldn't drop him from ODI's either.

He's brought good positivity to the team.

I pretty much agree with most of what you said.

 

[adzzy786]

Whats this commentator called

 

[Amjid Javed]

Another 4 for hafeez

44/1

 

[Justcrazy]

[Waqas Kharian]

well played boys

 

[London_Lahori]

It's amazing what runs, confidence and time in the middle can do.

48-1

7 overs

Jamshed looks like no average player. Really disappointed how he's lost form. Good technique, proactive run maker. Good mentality too, doesn't get overawed by pressure. Just when he started losing form, the man went to pieces. His confidence went, his technique went to pieces. I dunno how things went bad for him so quickly. Even in the Champions Trophy in England he did decent, clear second best after Misbah. But since then, flat track or not, looked lost out there.

When he gets his form back in domestic cricket, think he'll come back a lot better.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan require another 178 runs with 9 wickets and 43.0 overs remaining

 

[Waqas Kharian]

Ramiz is in commentory box...jinx time

He is good by Pakistan standards . Not too many Pakistan openers have averaged over 35

 

[London_Lahori]

Angelo bowling well here, need to try and disturb his line.

Why herath is not playing is mystery to me

He has been playing in all formats , with important Test series coming up , he was rested as he is key bowler in test Matches.

 

[saiyan0312]

Well we look like on target. Mathews needs a major break.

 

[qamar84]
