down the wicket and : by Kaptaan

 

[Anchorman]

Azhar is so impressive.

 

[WC-Passion]

lol this batting from pak.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

azhar run aball

 

[Madplayer]

Azhar has upped his game as far as strike rate is concerned but he is still untested against quality bowlers.

 

[BleedGreen]

There is wind today though, I can see tshirts blowing

:4 :4

2 fours

 

[PCP_1]

woohoo



Azhar with a S/R of a100

 

[Madplayer]

Ah the delicate shot

 

[Zero]

Good adjustment at the last second there by Azhar.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Hafeez is unable to find gaps ..resorting to slogs and tuks. Wondering how after 15 y years of international cricket he still struggles to find gaps even in good form.

 

[Shafi]

Finally looks like ODI cricket from 90's rather than 70s

 

[zains_rulez]

Where were you Ali before ?

 

[Madplayer]

Another player same problem. Not being able to rotate strike

 

[BleedGreen]

Azhar Ali on fire here but I am so against this opening pair.

Both are slow starters, we need an aggressive opener (an Afridi / Mukhtar / Nazir) who can get us to fiery starts. Yes it's risky to lose an early wicket, but in today's cricket, a quick start is a MUST.

 

[run-out]

btw what about the new rules regarding PP ?

 

[pakistanisgreat]

could not connect

 

[JibranAnsari]

Even after hafeez there are two more tuk tuks ..haris and shafiq.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Spin time now hafeez will start rotating strike

 

[arehaan]

btw what about the new rules regarding PP ?

It is still under review not part of playing conditions yet

 

[pakistanisgreat]

spin is on

 

[junaid.ahmed]

look at azhar's avg

 

[BleedGreen]

Good rotation of strike

 

[the Great Khan]

where are the Azhar haters? I have a right mind to dig up the old Azhar hate threads and name and shame!!

[zains_rulez]

Azher follows misbah

He answers his haters with his performance rather than media talks

 

[BleedGreen]

 

[Madplayer]

where are the Azhar haters? I have a right mind to dig up the old Azhar hate threads and name and shame!!

Not a hater but let him play against a top team first.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

shabash boys

 

[BleedGreen]

Azhar Ali has an average of 49.50 in 18 matches.

 

[ViciousMachine]

Azhar Ali has an average of 49.50 in 18 matches.

Amazing!!!

 

[the Great Khan]

Not a hater but let him play against a top team first.

blah blah...on these flat wickets and most ODI wickets he'll do fine since he's already played against the best in tests!!

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Azhar has upped his game as far as strike rate is concerned but he is still untested against quality bowlers.

many question his SR and when now it is gone.. they question his batting against quality bowlers.. didnt they see he was the only player to score 93 runs against ENGLAND during the tour of spot fixing fiasco in 2010 ...

 

[run-out]

It is still under review not part of playing conditions yet

ok, thanks

 

[Syed2015]

Sean Williams really has some big potential and could easily become the next Brendan Taylor for Zimbabwe.

 

[ask_analyse_act]

blah blah...on these flat wickets and most ODI wickets he'll do fine since he's already played against the best in tests!!

leave it bro.. these ppl cant digest the fact he is playing well, and outplaying their fanboy favorites..

 

[junaid.ahmed]

where are the Azhar haters? I have a right mind to dig up the old Azhar hate threads and name and shame!!

avgng almost 50

 

[LegbreakGoogly]

Azhar has improved to an amazing extend. . .

 

[BleedGreen]

Our batting line up is too slow. Yes these guys are getting a move on now and the run rate is healthy.

But OVERALL these 2 are slow starters, Haris and Asad Shafiq are pretty slow too. We need either Mukhtar or Nauman Anwar.

 

[axl100mph]

This is a 400 run wicket. had we had babar azam, rizwan, umar akmal and probably shehzad, we might hv score our first 400 plus score.

 

[Madplayer]

I am talking about ODIs here and u come up with an example from tests.

 

[#GreenRoars]

start isn't that bad. but they need to convert good into better

 

[Madplayer]

blah blah...on these flat wickets and most ODI wickets he'll do fine since he's already played against the best in tests!!

What are u crying for? I just said he needs to continue performing against sides other than Bangladesh and Zimbabwe. Am i wrong in saying this?

 

[PCP_1]

Even though I spent my childhood years in the 50+ summers of Dubai, Im finding it hard to relate with the 40+ current temperature there in comparison to the 13 degrees here.

 

[aukhan]

This is a 400 run wicket. had we had babar azam, rizwan, umar akmal and probably shehzad, we might hv score our first 400 plus score.

OK

 

[BleedGreen]

Pakistan 56/0 (12.0 ov)

 

[JibranAnsari]

Azhar Ali would have done a lot better than shehzad in world cup , we missed out on him.

 

[Madplayer]

Hopefully azhar scores another 100 today

 

[WC-Passion]

Azhar Ali would have done a lot better than shehzad in world cup , we missed out on him.

Should have replaced Nasir Jamshed, I'm sure he would have done much better.

 

[ask_analyse_act]

probably shehzad,

u must be trolling shezzy fans...

 

[BleedGreen]

We need Mukhtar and Azhar to open. Drop Hafeez seriously

 

[Abdullah719]

I am talking about ODIs here and u come up with an example from tests.

You can only play what's in front of you. He has only played against Bang and Zim so far. Won't take much to outperform his opening partner against good bowling attacks.

 

[BleedGreen]

We need Mukhtar and Azhar to open. Drop Hafeez seriously

Also, I know Mukhtar isn't in the squad. For future series

 

[WC-Passion]

These Ten Sports ads are weird lol.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Should have replaced Nasir Jamshed, I'm sure he would have done much better.

Yah , I mean jamshed didnt do much. Him and shehzad could have formed a better opening pair.

 

[Logical]

ooo Aleem Dar. Good to see him there !

 

[Logical]

Azhar Ali would have done a lot better than shehzad in world cup , we missed out on him.

+1 sir.

 

[BleedGreen]

 

[#GreenRoars]

beautiful shot by kaptaan. lovely execution. :

 

[WC-Passion]

Going down the wicket for those shots.

 

[WC-Passion]

[PCP_1]

Best shot of Azhars inning so far

 

[Logical]

beautiful shot by kaptaan. lovely execution. :

Congrats on the new PP position !

 

[BleedGreen]

hafeez wakes up for a 2nd time

 

[PCP_1]

Azhar goes back to his 100 S/R

 

[Justcrazy]

Hafeez wasting too many balls

 

[WC-Passion]

Great shot. Pak on fire.

 

[imran1976]

We need Mukhtar and Azhar to open. Drop Hafeez seriously

+1

 

[BleedGreen]

78-0 14.3

 

[zains_rulez]

Azhar Ali would have done a lot better than shehzad in world cup , we missed out on him.

Misbah wanted him in WC rather than shehzad

 

[junaid.ahmed]

azhar avg 50+

 

[BleedGreen]

by Hafeez

Pakistan on the charge.

 

[WC-Passion]

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan in control.

 

[#GreenRoars]

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan needs to win all the games to keep the rankings

 

[Shafi]

Thanks Hafeez to score fast)!!!

 

[BleedGreen]
