[IAJ]

Time to rest Shehzad

 

[DRsohail]

rain???

 

[Abdul]

Time to rest Shehzad

Rest?

He better be dropped.

 

[Mir jibran]

hassan to be rested due to back strain

 

[Abdul]

How does the bloody Shehzad makes it again?

 

[Abdul]

Pakistan are batting first.

Faheem Ashraf out, Mohammad Nawaz in.

Usman Shinwari in, Hasan Ali out.

 

[Firebreaker]

Paul Collingwood playing as well lol

 

[Titan24]

hassan to be rested due to back strain

Good decision and deserving break.

 

[Firebreaker]

Strong wind and dust storm in Lahore

 

[fawad_wellwisher]

What was the point of playing Faheem Ashraf in the first game? Was given one over and then dropped. Makes no sense. Won't help much in lifting his confidence.

I can see Umar Amin being dropped in next tour without playing

 

[Plumb]

Way too weak batting for pakistan, don't understand what shehzad been doing in the dressing room to keep his place. Faheem Ashraf in place of nawaz? when u already have 3 spinners, if babar doesnt click we are looking for trouble here..

 

[mmkextreme_1]

Unless they are expecting the pitch to spin more, don't see the point of dropping Faheem Ashraf after just one game.

Looking forward to see Shinwari ball

 

[King-Misbah]

Why is Faheem Ashraf dropped :/ This lad hardly gets a chance.

 

[Hasan123]

Looking forward to the game.

 

[fawad_wellwisher]

So are we on track to start the game on time? Or is the dust storm going to delay the start?

 

[Hasan123]

Hoping Fakhar can continue on from his performances in the CT

 

[mmkextreme_1]

So are we on track to start the game on time? Or is the dust storm going to delay the start?

The game will begin on time.

 

[Hasan123]

Shehzad needs a score to back up Inzis faith in him. He hasn't been impressive since his return versus West Indies

 

[Firebreaker]

Match has started and so has Shahzad's tuk tuk

 

[Plumb]

Shehzad>> comon dude

 

[Alamgeer]

Shehzad looking solid

 

[Firebreaker]

2/0 after one over

 

[coy0607]

Shehzad is undoubtedly the weak link in this team, and well on his way to becoming the most hated cricketer in Pakistan in 2017

 

[QalandarFan]

Shehzad is so selfish.

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

I have never seen Shehzad playing for the team.

 

[badsha001]

Selfie Selfie chanting all over the ground...

 

[predictablyunpredictable]

Shehzad is as useless as ea in tea

 

[Shafi]

Shehzad will make sure to eat as many balls as possible to loose this match.

 

[Adil_94]

who else is getting weird picture quality

 

[Yaasir]

Shahzad playing a test match. Makes me sick to see this loser in a Pakistani jersey.

 

[Firebreaker]

Not enough intent being shown by both

 

[QalandarFan]

What a slow start. Even a run a ball from shehzad would be nice.

 

[Firebreaker]

Finally a 4

 

[Syed1]

Shaba larkay

 

[QalandarFan]

Wow shehzad or off the mark. I'm astonished.

 

[Plumb]

WorldX1 dropped Sammy and kept Parera. seriously?

 

[Firebreaker]

He's safe

 

[Syed1]

Fakhar is such a breath of fresh air compared to his partner

 

[QalandarFan]

That's my boy Fakhar finally a

For a sec I thought it was edged and going back to the keeper.

 

[Syed1]

Shotttttttttttttt... yar Zaman tu love hai

 

[Abdul]

Zaman 4 lyfe.

 

[Plumb]

One thing for sure Fakhar has the courage and heart

 

[Firebreaker]

Cutting is not a good bowler

 

[QalandarFan]

more from Fakhar!

 

[Syed1]

Wow wow wow... .

 

[Abdul]

Another one.

 

[Plumb]

Fakhar is playing a big role in saving Shehzad

 

[Syed1]

Badree please dismiss Shehzad

 

[QalandarFan]

Anotha One! Loving this Shehzad please get out now, so we can get 200 today.

 

[Yaasir]

Fakhar 14 of 6

Shahzad Loser 1 of 6.

 

[Plumb]

how Fakhar plays Badree ll be interesting

 

[sadida97]

the picture quality is strange....

 

[Adil_94]

come on Badree get Shehzad

 

[QalandarFan]

Ahh spin is never really a threat for us.

 

[QalandarFan]

I bet the other team isn't even trying to dismiss shehzad he's doing them favours.

 

[Syed1]

Zaman best bat in the side

 

[Hasan123]

Shehzad isn't a t20 player at all.

 

[QalandarFan]

Zaman hits it in that gap again!

 

[Plumb]

Shehzad is not a cricket player..hows that

 

[Hasan123]

Intent from Shehzad at last.

 

[Syed1]

Oh no two fours from Shehzad

 

[Someone]

EZ hows that boys ???

 

[Plumb]

My word.. shehzad hits 4

 

[QalandarFan]

Finally shehzad with a

 

[coy0607]

Waqar is awful

 

[Plumb]

shehzaddd easyyy boyyyyyyyyyy thats way too much for u

 

[QalandarFan]

Wow shehzad with another one. Probably won't feel he needs to hit another one for 5 overs.

 

[Someone]

EZ hok time for a selfie boys

 

[Hasan123]

It might be a unpopular opinion on this forum but I think Shehzad can be a decent player in ODIs and test if he can improve his footwork and strike rotation.

In t20s , I would prefer to give someone else a go.

 

[Abdul]

Oh no two fours from Shehzad

Has already booked his place in the team for next 5-6 matches.

 

[Someone]

Shezzy better than FAKHAER

Big if.
I'll give him credit, he did make the right call sometimes today and yesterday to get off strike to let Fakhar or Babar hit.

 

[Hasan123]

Fakhar is a much improved from his international debut. Good selection by inzi.

he hasn't improved at all in 8 years, if anything his game has deteriorated

he's not exactly a new / upcoming player anywhere, he's a vet

Stopped reading after seeing Shahzad and decent in same sentence

 

[Hasan123]

His attitude is the problem, he hasn't been in the headlines as much recently but his attitude under Waqar prevented him from improving . Hence his game regressed and now he is trying to improve but he hasn't gotten into such bad habits.

 

[Someone]

im here to stay boys...

T20 is the worst format to play Shehzad. I would bring in Sahibzada Farhan instead.

Yeah he can if he does but it has been years since he has been playing pro cricket not sure if the adjustments will be made now
