I hope we lose So maybe we will have a new captain

the problem begins with the guy at top .. if we don't remove this cancer DNA .. this sad state of pak cricket will continue indefinitely.

Malik looks so relaxed the guy has no shame

he lacks character, charisma, passion .. he is a zombie out on the field .. the only time he showed some emotion is when he cried like a little girl when inzi retired !

true that nigga. how come our administartion doesn't see that ?
 
This is terrible captaincy by Malik. Why not bring the long-on and long-off up and force the Zimbabweans to hit over the top? Taibu played two pull shots over the top and both of them weren't timed. Malik should have noted that and brought in the fielders. Masakadza with that kind of bat lift will also struggle to loft the ball cleanly. I just cannot understand Malik's defensive captaincy at the moment
 
man I'm afraid another 120-130 runs here Pakistan might struggle to chase.

Zimbabwe 144/2 (30.0 ov)

Wow, this is pathatic, we have absolutely no fire in this attack. Even with Gul and Asif I don't think it'll be enough.

Taibu gets his half century, and Masakadza gets is past his previous career high, 80.

Err...what? I think you missed 'at the moment', which means right now and in this match. I am aware of what he has done in previous matches and I am not talking about them in this thread

Malik has always been a defensive capatain aka chooza. I think u would understand by now ?

Clear now?
 
Usman Sahib said:
Nah. With Zimbabwe's current bowling attack, any score is chaseable

Yeah, I would hope so, we have a pretty strong batting line up and they should be able to do this. But it's still sad that they are in controll at the moment.

Finally someone gets out!

H Masakadza b Shahid Afridi 87

now i can go to sleep as AFRIDI TAKES A WICKET. WHAT A NIGHTMARE SO FAR IN THIS GAME
 
I think the other news about afridi was just a masala news that he had some arguement with team mates.
 
finally the bowler that malik and lawson want out of the team strikes !!

if someone is a defensive captain he always will be. u sould understand what is he doin because thats what he does ??
I can understand him trying out defensive tactics against better opposition like South Africa and India, which have batsmen who have the ability to clear the boundary effortlessly time and time again. But I dont understand his tactics against these Zimbabwean batsmen who have shown no sign of attacking the bowlers by playing lofted strokes

enough reason for him to be sacked ?
 
what is Malik doing here exactly?

he is trying bore the Zimbabwe batsmen with Younis?

Don't worry, just watch. Any second now, Younis will rip through the Zimbabweans, and produce a match winning performance. You just watch and see...
 
201/3 after 41 overs.

With a good charge at the end, they could get to 265 or so. Pakistans bowlers have really really let us down - especially Samiullah and Rao, they were very very poor. Time to draft in Sohail Khan ASAP.

Dont forget the fielding, which has been pretty pathetic. Zimbabwean batsmen are making a mockery of our fielding

brilliant :))
 
for guys who are watching this match how is the pitch going ?
 
Rao is a digging a hole with his performance in this match otherwise he has been quite handy
 
Zimbabwe throwing away a good platofrm

218/6 - Tanvir gets his 4th, good catch by Akmal keeping up to the wicket
 
I was praying he gets one more wicket on his last ball. just to show rao and niazi how to bowl
 
Even Rao gets a wicket, Williams gone for 3

218/7
 
Well done Tanvir, he bowls around the wkt from quite wide off the crease almost looks a no ball as the front foot is outised the sideline.
 
Tanvir seems to well every time he plays against new opponents, but then seems to fade after the get used to his action.
 
Zimbos coming undone big time losing wkts for just 7 runs. Even 250 now looks out of reach.
 
Rao gets 2nd wicket in an over! Bowled..!
 
Rao knocks leg stump out of the ground, little bit of late swing there

220/8
 
Rao has come back well after his pasting in his 1st spell!
 
99.3 KPH from Samiullah .. and i don't think that was a slower ball !!!

well that's game, set, match for him .. he clearly doesn't have what it takes in the international arena !!

u can't judge a bowler by how well he does against the zim tail ..

his first spell was outrageously bad for a guy of his experience ..

30+ matches with a 35 bowling average ... that's quite poor by for a specialist ODI bowler !
 
another pathetic display from Pakistani bowlers, fielders, and the Captaan Saahib but Pakistan will win it with the bat again and then Malik would be on cricinfo saying how good his team is improving.
 
I am observing a minute's silence for the end of Samiullah's international career. :|
 
so thats the lunch ladies and gents Pakistan need 239 runs from 50 overs and they should chase it easily.
 
Alright, this should be no problem for our batsmen, especially against this bowling attack. We did, or atleast Tanvir did a good job near the end.
 
Pakistan's innings starts after like 1 hour so i will just go to sleep and see ya all in the morning. Good night!
 
Butt trying to be aggressive and looking totally out of his depth on a flat track vs the Zim bowling!!
 
Butt needs to be dropped from limited overs cricket, other than against India he's totally useless. If he does score it's so slowly he puts pressure on his partners
 
Jamshed has the beast mentality, he just tried to hit that ball out of the Pakistan :19:

33/0
 
Am glad pakistan have to chase 240 odd here its a challenging total and some batsmen should get time in middle.

Jamshed is looking good, hopefully he can get a big score
salam geordie bhai

Been a long time, how are things?
 
I just hope that captain supremo can do one thing right today and ensure that sends out aggressive batsman e.g. Afridi and Misbah ahead of himself to really put the message across to Zimbabwe that they mean business but, I am 100% sure it aint gonna happen.
 
This Jamshed looks a class act, to be honest

that was just dispatched through cover, great shot!
 
And the next ball, he smashes the ball through long off for 4

great shot again!
