Pakistan vs World XI | 1st T20I | Gaddafi Stadium | 12 Sep, 2017 | World XI innings

[Bilal7]

Amla is the best opener from both squads even in the shortest format.

 

[Firebreaker]

Dont know what Sohail Khan brings to the team

 

[Plumb]

Yesssssss Rumman

 

[Rayyman]

Statueeee!!!!!

 

[Sarfarazian92]

I hope [MENTION=141557]Chief Destroyer[/MENTION] is watching "trundler" Rumman

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

As usual,Tamim gone...

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Lol Shezzy hurt his face there celebrating with Ruman ) ) )

He's clearly having a horrible day !!

 

[zn426]

That's Tamim Iqbal, GONE!

 

[Firebreaker]

the media lobby bhai. They worked very hard for his selection.

They wanted him in CT squad as well.Just imagine him playing in SF against England than Rumman Raees lol

 

[Slog]

Amla is the best opener from both squads even in the shortest format.

perfect match for him to perform

 

[Plumb]

Big talk? lol

 

[Stallion__]

This guy Rumman is a really cunning bowler

 

[Firebreaker]

LOL Tim Paine at 3

 

[Firebreaker]

perfect match for him to perform

He scored in IPL too tbh

 

[mak36]

Yea because we have the #1 bowler in the world

Yes he has contributed to that, bhai. Hasn't looked too threatening today though. Hopefully he will make an impact in his second spell.

 

[Plumb]

Tim can hit big on flat deck

 

[Firebreaker]

Amla gone!!!!

 

[Slog]

As usual,Tamim gone...

openers usually get out

 

[Sarfarazian92]

Man this guy is so freaking clever. Love him

 

[idrizzy]

This is why Raees is such a good bowler - he has a brain and bowls in the right areas

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

I think Ruman is performing just to troll [MENTION=141557]Chief Destroyer[/MENTION] ) )

 

[zn426]

Well played, Roman Reigns! Two destructive batsmen gone in one over.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

2 wickets off the over for Rumman.

 

[Plumb]

Rumman brilliant

 

[mak36]

I hope [MENTION=141557]Chief Destroyer[/MENTION] is watching "trundler" Rumman

My thoughts exactly. Rumman showing his skill yet again- only bowler who has looked threatening so far.

 

[Zeshan547]

I know this T20 tamasha but these 65m boundaries are joke, it's as if it's women or kids match and not a proper international men's match, for 2nd match bonderies should be 75 m at least.

 

[MMHS]

What's the price of different ticket (s)?

 

[Firebreaker]

Fahim looks like a trundler as well

 

[MMHS]

It's 65 yards probably, not metres.

 

[mak36]

He always performs. Chief just refuses to acknowledge it.

 

[idrizzy]

Fahim looks like a trundler as well

It's his T20 debut, let him play at least 10-15 international matches

 

[Belawal2014]

Empty seats in the stands..

 

[Arham_PakFan]

What's the price of different ticket (s)?

Lowest starts at 500 ruppees,then 2500.I think the highest price is 10,000.

 

[Plumb]

in t20 you gotta be smart trundler to be successful. Need variety of balls on flat decks

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Somehow Fahim has managed to give only 7 runs after getting smacked for a first bowl 4

 

[idrizzy]

He always performs. Chief just refuses to acknowledge it.

My thoughts exactly. Even when Amir wasn't playing in the CT vs England, he came in and got the key wicket of Hales and bowled well overall.

 

[Big Mac]

[MENTION=865]Big Mac[/MENTION] watches T20 cricket

Warwickshire are on Sky Sports, how dare you?

 

[mak36]

It's his T20 debut, let him play at least 10-15 international matches

During the CT, he was bowling at decent pace. He just needs to work on the technical aspects of his game- Azhar has already said he has been working with him on this.

 

[MMHS]

Lowest starts at 500 ruppees,then 2500.I think the highest price is 10,000.

Roughly weighted average of around 800 - that's around 23-25mn gate, not bad.

 

[zn426]

What exactly is the bowling order? Why take Raees off after he got two wickets? Is the idea to try and choke the run rate with Wasim? They're going to go on the attack as it is, doesn't make sense.

 

[Zeshan547]

It's 65 yards probably, not metres.

yeah man, it's reminding me of those kiwi peanut sizes grounds, it seems cruel for bowlers and viewers as well.

 

[Azzurri]

Here comes out little superstar

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Shadab to bowl now.

Shaba Beta Janay Math Dena Inhein !!

 

[Rayyman]

What exactly is the bowling order? Why take Raees off after he got two wickets? Is the idea to try and choke the run rate with Wasim? They're going to go on the attack as it is, doesn't make sense.

Yes.

It's actually a great idea as these batsman haven't played Imad much at all and that's when he's really dangerous.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Roughly weighted average of around 800 - that's around 23-25mn gate, not bad.

Heard that PCB is paying around 2.5million dollars in total for the series.So any money they get will be good for them.

 

[idrizzy]

During the CT, he was bowling at decent pace. He just needs to work on the technical aspects of his game- Azhar has already said he has been working with him on this.

Yep, I have no qualms about his place in the team. Within a few years he'll be a very good all-rounder that this side desperately needs. Not Ben Stokes-esque, but maybe a notch or two lower. It all depends on what aspects of his game he works on.

Anyway though Shadab is THE GUY and he's on now, the star of the team for sure.

 

[Firebreaker]

Playing way too many dots

 

[Eagle_Eye]

Rumman what a star

 

[MMHS]

yeah man, it's reminding me of those kiwi peanut sizes grounds, it seems cruel for bowlers and viewers as well.

Add to that the bat quality, 2 balls & grass less roads with lightning out fields - I do believe that teams that are scoring 350 these days would struggle to match T20 scores of 170; 35-25 years back.

 

[idrizzy]

Shaddy bowling beautifully, and Raees fielded well.

 

[Protea Fan]

Paine is too pain to watch

 

[Rayyman]

Yep, I have no qualms about his place in the team. Within a few years he'll be a very good all-rounder that this side desperately needs. Not Ben Stokes-esque, but maybe a notch or two lower. It all depends on what aspects of his game he works on.

Lolwut

Amir is the star.

And when he isn't playing, then it's Hasan Ali.

Shadab hasn't done anything substantial in his career to be considered a star.

 

[Markhor]

Good bit of fielding gets applauded by GSL.

It is a new era.

 

[Markhor]

Lovely legbreak from Shadab, good over. Imad back on.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Paine kia kar raha hai yar.

 

[Rayyman]

Spin from Imad!!!!

 

[MMHS]

As expected, one sided contest.

 

[Firebreaker]

No appreciation from crowd

 

[fasihulhaq94]

brilliant from imad and shadab

 

[idrizzy]

Lolwut

Amir is the star.

And when he isn't playing, then it's Hasan Ali.

Shadab hasn't done anything substantial in his career to be considered a star.

I'm talking about his aura he carries with him, not his role in the team.

 

[zn426]

As expected, one sided contest.

Yup, that boundary by du Plessis was the first since Amla got out. Time to bring Ali back on, they will start to try and hit out now.

 

[mak36]

Yes.

It's actually a great idea as these batsman haven't played Imad much at all and that's when he's really dangerous.

Agree with this- Imad is most dangerous against batsmen who haven't faced him much.

He just needs to develop his bowling to ensure batsmen don't "work him out" over time. It's good to see he has turned a few today- good variation.

 

[Firebreaker]

As expected, one sided contest.

Zimbabwe matches were better

 

[Eagle_Eye]

Paine is clueless here

 

[Markhor]

Straight boundary is way too short.

 

[MMHS]

Zimbabwe matches were better

Because that PAK side was different.

 

[Adil_94]

is it just me or is crowd atmosphere not as crazy as they expected

 

[Adil_94]

no wonder Aus dont pick Paine anymore.

 

[Zeshan547]

Add to that the bat quality, 2 balls & grass less roads with lightning out fields - I do believe that teams that are scoring 350 these days would struggle to match T20 scores of 170; 35-25 years back.

It's like giving a machine gun to one competitor and tieing hands of other and then hoping for equal fight, and this always ends in only one way massacre. specially in ground like this you can easily have 80 m boundaries it feels even more redicallous

 

[Rayyman]

I'm talking about his aura he carries with him, not his role in the team.

Still that's Hasan Ali for me

 

[Firebreaker]

no wonder Aus dont pick Paine anymore.

LOL Tim Paine is in Australia T20 squad for India tour

 

[MRSN]

"Just decent effort"

 

[Firebreaker]

Du Plessis turning it on

 

[Plumb]

Hasan gotta learn..

 

[MRSN]

Faf owns Hassn. What an over

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Straight by Du Plessis.

 

[mak36]

Yep, I have no qualms about his place in the team. Within a few years he'll be a very good all-rounder that this side desperately needs. Not Ben Stokes-esque, but maybe a notch or two lower. It all depends on what aspects of his game he works on.

Anyway though Shadab is THE GUY and he's on now, the star of the team for sure.

Yes a lot depends on his attitude. Don't forget when Stokes started his bowling was pretty average.

Fahim definitely has potential- both Mickey and Inzi have a good eye for talent. I want to see him bat properly this series.

 

[Adil_94]

[MENTION=137262]Firebreaker[/MENTION] must be his first international match for 6 years.

 

[Rayyman]

Missing Amir today guys.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Hassan getting spanked.Another .
