[pkwdpassion]

Sri lankan new talent Samarawickrama has been rushed into the side to replace kapugedera. He is known for his fast starts and showed it in test match v Pakistan. (Scored more then run a ball). Expecting beter effort by sri lankan batting

 

[Abdullah]

Is game starting earlier today?

 

[ExpressPacer]

Hope they experiment and drop Hafeez for Haris.

Is game starting earlier today?

Starts in ~52 mins.

Sharjah games have been pushed back an hour to try and minimise the effect of the dew during the second innings.

Raees out Shinwari in and Faheem out Imad in, the changes for Pakistan.

 

[ammar_merry]

why would they drop fahim

 

[Ellipsism]

Good opportunity here for Hasan to bowl with the new ball.

 

[asadee]

I think Fahim pulled a muscle during fielding the other day

 

[IAJ]

Faheem out, what on earth yaar???

I can understand that they want Imad for bowling instead of Hafeez but why drop Faheem? Way to ruin a young man's career unless it is some injury

 

[Rayyman]

Yes!!!!! Imad playing.

 

[Hamza_]

Why would you drop Fahim?

 

[Hamza_]

Imad is a useless player.

 

[babajee]

Yes!!!!! Imad playing.

Bhai kuch bhi nahi karega

Faheem >>>>>> Imad

 

[Ellipsism]

Both Raees and Fahim are out due to injuries, I believe.

 

[Mir jibran]

Bhai kuch bhi nahi karega

Faheem >>>>>> Imad

one has to take the place of fazul player quota in our playing xi
after shezzy and jr akmal
imad takes that spot

 

[Shafi]

Haris ignored again? If Sarfraz and management don't like him why keep him in the squad. Now Hafeez will play as a batsman until 2019 World Cup and ruin our batting. Dumb management!!!!

He’s injured i think

He's got a minor hammy injury.

 

[syed abbas]

Ruman is injured.But Faheem is not.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Why have they dropped faheem? This is absurd

 

[todfod 11]

What how can they drop faheem ashraf. this is not acceptable..

 

[RobinJay]

Why is Imad in for Fahim?! What did Fahim do wrong and Imad right during this period.

 

[babajee]

What channel is the match on in UK?

 

[Billa86]

Sony Max

 

[IAJ]

What channel is the match on in UK?

Sony max me thinks

 

[Billa86]

Good to see Shinwari in team but Haris should have played instead of Hafeez and Fahim should have continued to play unless he is injured.

 

[7sins]

Thats what i said in my post yesterday. That because of hafeez ban imad will be selected.

 

[babajee]

What a bowler. Beautiful delivery by Shinwari

 

[IAJ]

Shinwary you beauty!

 

[IAJ]

That came in drastically!

 

[Rayyman]

Let's gooo!!!!! Good wicket from Usman.

 

[Ellipsism]

Good delivery from Shinwari. Decent bowler this guy.

 

[Mir jibran]

shinwari strikes

 

[shebimalik]

Beauty from shinwari

 

[Hadi Rizvi]

Wow wow wow

 

[NeVerMind]

What channel is the match on in UK?

Sony Max. Channel 798 on sky. Also streaming live on their website www.sonyliv.com

 

[RobinJay]

niiiiice

 

[Billa86]

Great start. Usman reminds me of Umar Gul, lets hope he has the mental strength to play long term and not give up when batsman charge him for 4s and 6s

 

[babajee]

I wanna see us chase 260+

[Titan24]

Great stuff, guy has great temperament to go with his skill and looks more fit than his earlier days.

Every player who has debuted under Mickey has performed. For bowlers bit of credit needs to be given to Azhar Mehmood as well.

 

[Ellipsism]

Junaid bowling the usual rubbish.

 

[Hamza_]

Hopefully competitive match today

Wicket looks good.

 

[NeVerMind]

Junaid bowling the usual rubbish.

Only the first ball was bad; the second was not a bad ball but picked well by the batsman and the third was a good short ball that Saf should have been further out to stop.

 

[Markhor]

How could they drop Kapil Dev... I mean Fahim Ashraf ?!

Probably because you don't need 4 pacers in the UAE.

 

[another drop catch]

Raman Venkat says : "Oh Usman Khan! That delivery made my day" -- Only your day..it made my month
. . . so true

 

[Markhor]

Shinwari was another one dismissed as a harmless trundler by some PP armchair experts.

That ball for the wicket was 139kph.

 

[JibranAnsari]

How could they drop Kapil Dev... I mean Fahim Ashraf ?!

Probably because you don't need 4 pacers in the UAE.

In the last match imad bowled only one over , seems like we dont need another bowler at all.

 

[Markhor]

Plenty of runs in this wicket.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Pretty average is shinwari.

 

[lonex]

Pakistan XI: Imam, Fakhar, Babar, Hafeez, Malik, Sarfaraz, Shadab, Imad, Hasan, Shinwari, Junaid

Sri Lanka XI: Tharanga, Dickwella, Samarawickrama, Chandimal, Thirimanne, Siriwardana, T Perera, Dananjaya, Prasanna, Lakmal, Gamage

Sri Lanka won the toss and opted to bat.

Its dead rubber. Why not try Harris in place of Imad and give Faheem chance. They could have rested Hassan.

 

[lonex]

I feel like big score is coming our way. We will miss cameo from Faheem.

 

[sadida97]

144 kph from junaid !!!

 

[RobinJay]

there we go

 

[Madplayer]

Why on earth has faheem been dropped?

 

[JibranAnsari]

Poor from dickwela.

 

[Hadi Rizvi]

Whoa Junaid PUMPED!!!

That was 144KPH!!!

 

[another drop catch]

sri lanka should score above 275
that will help pakistan to check their middle order strength
anything less than 250 top order will finish it off

 

[Madplayer]

Junaid's pace is really up.

 

[Madplayer]

140 kph from shinwari this

 

[asadee]

Why on earth has faheem been dropped?

Didnt he walk off injured while fielding the other day

 

[Forum363]

Kinda dissapointed with that wicket. Really wanted Dickwella to carry on so we had a big target to chase today. Good over by Junaid Khan though, decent comeback.

 

[Madplayer]

Didnt he walk off injured while fielding the other day

Have no clue but his batting might be required today on this flat pitch.

 

[Hadi Rizvi]

Has anyone noticed that all of our pacers are bowling genuine pace i.e. 135-140+ KPH

Even Faheem the last match clocked 142 KPH

 

[90MPH]

Usman is hitting the bat hard - similar to Hasan.

Good prospect.

 

[another drop catch]

Has anyone noticed that all of our pacers are bowling genuine pace i.e. 135-140+ KPH

yes great improvement by pacers

 

[Rayyman]

Hasan should come on soon.

 

[MenInG]

140 kph from shinwari this

Check speedwatch thread.

 

[another drop catch]

Hasan should come on soon.

no let them score as much as possible
middle order is yet to be tested

 

[shaaik]

Hasan Ali no.1 odi bolwer in the latest icc rankings. Deservingly so!!!

 

[Madplayer]

This pitch is flat as a pancake. And short boundaries. SL should look to score 320 here.

 

[Billa86]

Pakistani fielders being complacent.

 

[Madplayer]

Check speedwatch thread.

Thanks. Will do.

 

[Shafi]

Usman does not have any control over his bowling!!!!! Too erratic!!!!

 

[Rayyman]

It's 96*F in Sharjah! 36*C

 

[shaaik]

Usman does not have any control over his bowling!!!!! Too erratic!!!!

Early days for him though. He should be fine with time and experience..

 

[Shafi]

Sad to see from now on Hafeez will play as batsman only and team will suffer the most. Looks like him/management is not in hurry to fix bowling action.
