Pakistan vs Sri Lanka | 5th ODI | Sharjah | Oct 23, 2017 | Pakistan Innings

Bhanja so far 2 fours and 1 six... that is 14 runs in boundaries off 3 balls and 8 runs off the other 30 balls he has faced.



Massive upgrade on Shehzad



:salute
 
Fakhar into the nervous 30s... he has been losing his wicket around this stage. Just needs to power on and get to a much needed fifty.
 
It's incredible how Thisara Perera remains in the SL team. His bowling is atrocious and his batting clicks once in 50 games.
 
Wow wow wow bhanja rotates strike at first opportunity




Ikhees toppon ki salami


:salute
 
16 off 30.... but if this was Shehzad people would already be bumping threads.
Come on.

Shehzad has played 81 matches and debuted 8 years ago. He hit his ceiling years ago.

Meanwhile, Imam is 21 and is playing in his third match.
 
Fakhar would have scored a century today... silly lankans batting first :facepalm:
 
Fakhar silencing all the "experts" who were silly enough to doubt him.
 
Should play a T20 game at end of this match.. straight after to compensate fans for quick finish to this ODI.
 
A nice 60+ not out would be good from Fakhar here...
 
Imam continue to play more balls than Fakhar; this is not good; the aggressive batsman should face more balls than the accumulator

He isn't an accumulator, you don't accumulate runs by blocking and hoicking one out of ground to make up for the lack of strike rotation, he's slogger not an accumulator.
 
The umpires should be flexible and not take the players out for mid-innings interval. Wouldn't make sense.
 
It's incredible how Thisara Perera remains in the SL team. His bowling is atrocious and his batting clicks once in 50 games.

He was once offered a citizenship by New Zealand so that he could play for them which he obviously refused. Believe it or not !!!!
 
How many points we will get after this series? Any change in ranking
 
Anyone notice how Fakhar is more circumspect to the spinners in this innings and hence hasn't lost his wicket yet... throughout the series he wanted to blast the spinners into the next city that is why he was dismissed 3 out of 4 times by Dhanjaya

Jinxed.
 
Darn really wanted to see a 50 from Fakhar!

Hope they send in Shadab or Faheem
 
Finally some out of the box thinking. Faheem sent up!
 
If Fahim shuts up shop, bhanja can get to a tuk tuk fifty
 
Two finals? One was the CT one, which is the other?

Also world class limited over cricketer bowler? Let's see the ODI and T20 stats of the world class bowler since his return

ODIs
Matches: 21
Wickets: 30
Average: 30.26
BBI: 3/16

T20s
Matches: 13
Wickets: 11
Average: 32.00
BBI: 3/18

If this is world class, Hasan Ali is then extra-terrestrial class.

2009 World T20 final
 
Never seen Pakistan this dominant in 7 games on the trot.


Thank you Saifi

Fakhar looked guilty, should have walked. Once again not capitalizing on a solid start. He's way too impatient, always in ultra-aggressive mode, coach needs to talk to him and address this issue, too many times he has thrown away a chance a score big after laying the foundation.

Better than run a ball 48 and still complains :facepalm:

Yes he should learn from Shehzad and get out for a 12 ball duck. :))
 
Fahim block the over and let bhanja have a chance at fifty
 
Faheem is letting Imam get to his 50. Shame, wanted to see some shots.

I thought it would be 4-1 with SL chasing a small total somewhere down the road. Only problem now is figuring out the pace attack and finding replacements for Hafeez. Malik can't be dropped even though he is a dud in ENG ( WC' 19 ) and NZ, SA, AUS ( upcoming series ). Also, Imam needs to either rotate strike more or be replaced with someone looking to hit from ball one. Hopefully, PSL solves that problem.
 
Great win, no doubt fantastic job by Pakistan team, but no joy in seeing a SL team that gave us so much wonderful cricket over the years looking like an associate side. The world needs more great teams, not less.
