Pakistan vs Zimbabwe | 1st ODI | Lahore | 26th May ¦ Pakistan Innings

[JibranAnsari]

Haris should never come down the track , looks ugly and out of depth.

 

[Lords]

I left for a while and pakistan in a totally opposite position.

Tells you how much does it mean to preserve wickets initially and not worry about RR

 

[Belawal2014]

Great to hear fans chant Zimbabwe

Good over from Pakistan - this is exactly how we have to play in middle overs, rotating strike, finding gaps, hitting the occasional boundary. No need for tulla baazi but sensible cricket. Keep going lads.

Yeah, heartening to hear the crowd cheer both team on.

 

[Zeshan547]

Pakistanies giving phainty to another Pakistani, how strange,

 

[Arsal_AK]

This is how you bat in the middle overs.

So refreshing to see.

 

[Shafi]

Malik sealed his place for next 2 series!!!! A 50 will guarantee him to secure whole year.

 

[Markhor]

A "We miss you India" banner ! Aman ki Asha is still alive.

 

[Justcrazy]

Spinner would not work with Malik.

 

[BleedGreen]

We need to go at 10-12 an over here now come on, we have wickets

 

[JibranAnsari]

Sikander raza is a terrible bowler

This is exactly y this team needed malik

 

[razazaidi]

This is how you bat in the middle overs.

So refreshing to see.

But most of the PPers disagree. What a disgrace we fans are!

 

[JibranAnsari]

Malik sealed his place for next 2 series!!!! A 50 will guarantee him to secure whole year.

This will be a 50 after 5 and a half years.

 

[Justcrazy]

Afridi being missed by crowd here.

 

[#GreenRoars]

PP time

 

[Markhor]

This is how you bat in the middle overs.

So refreshing to see.

I don't understand why we can't do this more often, its not rocket science. For too long we tuk during middle overs, dot ball after dot ball and leave everything towards the end where we put pressure on lower order to slog.

This is a sensible and easier way.

 

[Justcrazy]

222/2
35 overs

 

[Belawal2014]

Kudos to the PCB for organizing those banners.

 

[umer187]

This will be a 50 after 5 and a half years.

iA

 

[JibranAnsari]

Lets not sing songs of malik , its too early. Its zimbabwe.

 

[Justcrazy]

Mpofu back into attack.

 

[Justcrazy]

Sikander raza is a terrible bowler

He is a part time bowler at best.

 

[umer187]

I don't understand why we can't do this more often, its not rocket science. For too long we tuk during middle overs, dot ball after dot ball and leave everything towards the end where we put pressure on lower order to slog.

This is a sensible and easier way.

Because shobby is really the only player in pakistan who can play like this

 

[BleedGreen]

These balls should go for a 6 seriously, what are these guys doing

 

[MSaad1237]

Pretty sure I saw a #WeMissYouIndia banner in the crowd lol...

 

[umer187]

Hopefully shobby and harris will not get over excited about the batting pp

 

[the Great Khan]

got to say these two have been on the slow side..but still an opportunity to get a massive total...

 

[Madplayer]

Haris sohail is the only guy in this team apart from sarfaraz who can rotate strike effortlessly

 

[Arsal_AK]

I don't understand why we can't do this more often, its not rocket science. For too long we tuk during middle overs, dot ball after dot ball and leave everything towards the end where we put pressure on lower order to slog.

This is a sensible and easier way.

Lack of brains, planning and ability too.

Malik is good at all three and you can see the difference.

Another reason is that we have wrong players at the wrong positions. Play Haris, Rizwan, Malik(if he comes good) at 3-4-5 and this will be a regular occurance.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Pretty sure I saw a #WeMissYouIndia banner in the crowd lol...

Used to be a festival when india visited pakistan , wonderful environment.

 

[BleedGreen]

Taking singles in the powerplay

 

[the Great Khan]

rameez being called a legend!! sorry but theres only one legend here and its not rameez!!

 

[JibranAnsari]

Haris sohail is the only guy in this team apart from sarfaraz who can rotate strike effortlessly

Not really , haris has issues rotating strike. Today the bowling isnt so good enough to contain any batsman.

 

[mnt1]

also bangladesh and australia banners

 

[The_KING]

Very nice batting Malik

Malik at 4 and Rizwan at 5*

 

[#GreenRoars]

Time to Unleash , come on

 

[BleedGreen]

by Malik

 

[MSaad1237]

Used to be a festival when india visited pakistan , wonderful environment.

Yeah and plenty of Indian fans used to come here too...


Hopefully the peace will return in the country and all the Talibans will rot in Hell !!!

 

[junaid.ahmed]

chakkay chokay maro yar

 

[Arsal_AK]

The banners, the packed stadium, the noise. Its amazing to see cricket alive and happening in Pak.

 

[Madplayer]

Not really , haris has issues rotating strike. Today the bowling isnt so good enough to contain any batsman.

Dont think so because have seen him score 50s at a run a ball in domestic without scoring many boundaries.

 

[BleedGreen]

Another consecutive by Malik

 

[#GreenRoars]

and now malik on song : :

 

[The_KING]

I will hate it when we go back to UAE

 

[Zeshan547]

Trademark Malik flick, the beast is Awoken.

 

[umer187]

2 in a row! Brilliant from shobby!

 

[Madplayer]

Can malik score a 50 after 34 innings?

 

[Arsal_AK]

Brilliant from Malik.

 

[PTI]

Akram in the commie box
wasnt he was an employee in NCA

 

[#GreenRoars]

i hope team won't collapse in last 10 overs, and they will put up 330+ total

 

[Jabo]

A few positives -

Good start
Shehzad is on the bench
Azam is getting a chance

Negatives -

Hafeez is back to opening, he should be at 5/6
Anwar Ali is playing
Shafiq is playing

 

[Neferpitou]

bahahaha Malik's haters must be infuriated.

 

[The_KING]

bahahaha Malik's haters must be infuriated.

They will say it's only Zimbabwe

 

[JibranAnsari]

From this position 380 is a must.

 

[Arsal_AK]

2 now.

Brilliant batting and terrific running from Malik.

 

[umer187]

In to the 40's now! come on shobby come on

 

[Arsal_AK]

They will say it's only Zimbabwe

It is only Zim.

The real test for all these players will begin from SL onwards.

 

[junaid.ahmed]

350 should be atleast

 

[umer187]

Akram in the commie box
wasnt he was an employee in NCA

Not any more

 

[Zeshan547]

You have to give one thing to malik, he is the Fastest runner ever to play for pak cricket team, or there ever been a player who can run faster than him?

 

[junaid.ahmed]

haris is a lazy man

 

[JibranAnsari]

It is only Zim.

The real test for all these players will begin from SL onwards.

True this , its been easy for all the batsmen.

The real test will be against sl.

 

[junaid.ahmed]

You have to give one thing to malik, he is the Fastest runner ever to play for pak cricket team, or there ever been a player who can run faster than him?

moin & rashid

 

[BleedGreen]

we're too slow

 

[Sunny786]

Malik playing well

 

[JibranAnsari]

You have to give one thing to malik, he is the Fastest runner ever to play for pak cricket team, or there ever been a player who can run faster than him?

Umar Akmal is a very quick runner and keen too. Malik has beena wonderful runner.

 

[BleedGreen]

Malik's highest score in the last 31 innings

 

[Neferpitou]

Ramiz just shut up! I lose brain cells every time I listen to this idiot.

 

[Lords]

Malik's highest score in last 5 years. "shocking

 

[Lurker_Ind]

Awesome innings by Malik so far. Very useful player.

Pak should look to score around 150 runs from here.

Toothless trundlers and batting strip. Pak should go for it.

 

[Sunny786]

I hope Malik scores a hundred and trolls his haters.

 

[Madplayer]

Rameez is anti-haris lol

 

[BleedGreen]

245 in 38. We need to be 270 by the 40th

 

[junaid.ahmed]

Umar Akmal is a very quick runner and keen too. Malik has beena wonderful runner.

moin was like flash, I remember how he made inzi tired on many occasions

 

[Lords]

You have to give one thing to malik, he is the Fastest runner ever to play for pak cricket team, or there ever been a player who can run faster than him?

UA after he hit the winning run against india in a practice match in last T20 WC. He gave boult run for his money

 

[Neferpitou]

You have to give one thing to malik, he is the Fastest runner ever to play for pak cricket team, or there ever been a player who can run faster than him?

Umar, Yasir, Anwar, Shafiq, Riaz and Sami are all very quick.

 

[Markhor]

OK last 12 overs now, we have wickets in hand so should look to hit out.

Should aim for at least 90-100 runs here.

 

[Abdullah719]

Akram in the commie box
wasnt he was an employee in NCA

I heard he was the 'A' team coach during the recent SL tour.

 

[JibranAnsari]

This was a chance for pakistan to post their highest total , dont think its going to happen now.
