Pakistan vs Zimbabwe | 2nd ODI | Lahore | 29th May | Pakistan innings

[JibranAnsari]

Next Younis and MoYo at the crease.

Lets hope not moyo of ODI.

 

[jog_1]

Shafiq is the true definition of a TTF. Only reason his sorry behind is in the ODI team atm is because of his butt buddy Azhar Ali.

Keep this guy away from ODIs, he's awful.

 

[Hawkeye]

Shoaib Malik made a brilliant 100 at no3 in the last innings and harris sohail has been playing very well at no 3 or 4 and now they have been pushed down the order for a waste ODI player like Shafiq! Absolutely digraceful!

Lol, what?

Comparing a proper batsman with Malik?

 

[Abdullah719]

Ali Zafar: "Pakistan is chasing this total safely and briskly."

Word.

Shafiq didn't get to bat last time out so I'm guessing that's why they promoted him.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Next Younis and MoYo at the crease.

Lets hope not younis of ODIs.

 

[Mamoon]

Pakistan 269/2 47.4 overs

Azhar 119*, Asad 106*

 

[umer187]

Strike Rotation is still non existent in our ODI game

Did u see shobby's inning the other day?

 

[Justcrazy]

How can Asad be selected again and again ?

 

[Mamoon]

Ali Zafar's commentary is cringeworthy. Rameez is feeling awkward.

 

[Hawkeye]

Shafiq needs to deliver.

He's already looking in Test mode.

 

[Abdullah]

I am sooo ****** off- why r they messing about with Haris!!!

 

[hefaith]

Shafiq's batting putting me back to sleep. Should have sent in Haris

 

[axl100mph]

Ali Zafar's commentary is cringeworthy. Rameez is feeling awkward.

Really, I think he is doing much better than wasim bhai

 

[JibranAnsari]

It is shafiqs night.

 

[UpInTheAir]

Shafiq will be clean bowled, lbwed, caught behind, runout all in one delivery.

 

[Suleiman]

I would have sent in Haris or Asad to open, i.e. our top order batsmen. Opening with phattu Sarfraz serves no purpose. Poor strategic move by the management.

If your opener can't open for some reason, your designated number 3 should be promoted.

It's pathetic how people were mocking Malik for scoring a 100 last game against an easy bowling attack. And today their chaheeta Sarfraz flopped against the same bowling attack yet they are quiet.

 

[umer187]

Lol, what?

Comparing a proper batsman with Malik?

I don't remember shafiq playing a single match winning knock in ODIs or T20s. Malik got a chance at no3 after 6 years and he scored a flawless 100!

 

[Justcrazy]

Partnership developing steadily.

 

[hefaith]

4(11) Shafiq stuck in Misbah-era mode

 

[Mamoon]

It's my dream to be in the commentary box one day.

 

[Neferpitou]

Asad displaying perfect technique.

 

[Hawkeye]

4(12) like a BOSS.

If it was a Test, Shafiq would have scored a double ton on this pitch.

Just the pressure of scoring fast and limited overs he can't tackle.

 

[umer187]

Shafiq didn't get to bat last time out so I'm guessing that's why they promoted him.

And if he fails down the order so people will start demanding that he should be dropped! The only reason why Shafiq is in the ODI team is because the captain is his best friend!

 

[LegbreakGoogly]

Other players should learn a thing or two from Azhar Ali . . . This man has improved beyond our thinking. . .

 

[jog_1]

It's my dream to be in the commentary box one day.

You would either bore the hell out of the viewers or make everyone in Pakistan your enemy after walking out of the commentary box.

 

[Abdullah719]

Malik is actually crappier than hafeez outside asia and thats saying something.

Pretty even. Hafeez hasn't done well in Aus, SA, Eng, NZ at all. Malik has done terribly in NZ (2004 only though) and Eng but averages 49 in SA.

 

[umer187]

Shafiq will be clean bowled, lbwed, caught behind, runout all in one delivery.

lol! btw he has all the ability to do such stuff!

 

[Mamoon]

It's pathetic how people were mocking Malik for scoring a 100 last game against an easy bowling attack. And today their chaheeta Sarfraz flopped against the same bowling attack yet they are quiet.

Sarfraz is the untouchable golden boy, never mind his pathetic average of 27 after 43 games, and same people then criticize Asad. At least be consistent.

Both have their highest score vs. Ireland.

haha! so true....

 

[Abdullah719]

Azhar looking like bhai, the ODI player. Hopefully better in knockouts.

Both r garbage in odis. No decent player coming from karachi

 

[Mamoon]

I'm a good speaker, don't worry. When I speak, people listen.

 

[umer187]

Shafiq builiding up pressure very well

 

[Abdullah719]

If Asad had Azhar's work ethic and determination, would've been some player.

 

[Neferpitou]

Have a feeling Asad Technique will be gone under 20.

 

[axl100mph]

I'm a good speaker, don't worry. When I speak, people listen.

Do u HV any particular accent?

 

[Mamoon]

Azhar looking like bhai, the ODI player. Hopefully better in knockouts.

He is more ballsy than the Gujarati.

 

[Justcrazy]

98 . 2

20 overs

 

[JibranAnsari]

Pretty even. Hafeez hasn't done well in Aus, SA, Eng, NZ at all. Malik has done terribly in NZ (2004 only though) and Eng but averages 49 in SA.

Hafeez has average of 36 in NZ , not bad at all. Malik averages 3 in NZ and hafeez is a superior bowler in all conditions,

 

[axl100mph]

Have a feeling Asad Technique will be gone under 20.

Hopefully

 

[asyed]

See this is what I don't like about Asad. He uses too many balls to change strike and brings unnecessary pressure on his partner.

 

[umer187]

Shafiq will increase the rrr and then he will get out after making 30-40 runs and his slow batting will put pressure on the rest of the batsmen like shobby and haris

 

[jog_1]

for

50 off 51. Brilliant stuff yet again, and great SR. Now he has a hundred on the offering inshAllah.

 

[taqi]

Asad shafique is not ODI material

[shaz619]

why did shoaib malik not come out at no.3 today?

 

[JibranAnsari]

Shabash.

 

[Mamoon]

What a beast Azhar is, Shehzad would have had a strike rate of 65 here.

 

[Hawkeye]

If Asad gets to 40, he'll make a big score.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Another 50

 

[axl100mph]

No power or timing in shafiq's cut shots even though he swings himself off his feet

 

[Hawkeye]

Azhar is my man.

 

[UpInTheAir]

Do u HV any particular accent?

Chinglish.

 

[umer187]

Hafeez has average of 36 in NZ , not bad at all. Malik averages 3 in NZ and hafeez is a superior bowler in all conditions,

with his remodelled action?? haha not at all. we saw today who is the better bowler between shobby and MoHo

 

[Mamoon]

Do u HV any particular accent?

Don't know, maybe some English influence because I have lot of British Pakistani cousins and I spend a lot of time there.

 

[JibranAnsari]

why did shoaib malik not come out at no.3 today?

Because the opener got out early.

 

[Abdullah719]

Hafeez has average of 36 in NZ , not bad at all. Malik averages 3 in NZ and hafeez is a superior bowler in all conditions,

Battle of mediocrity tbh. Don't think either of them should play WC 2019.

 

[Mamoon]

why did shoaib malik not come out at no.3 today?

Because we lost an early wicket, thanks to hack Sarfraz.

 

[JibranAnsari]

with his remodelled action?? haha not at all. we saw today who is the better bowler between shobby and MoHo

Hafeez is still better. Malik has nothing on his bowling.

A poor batsman outside asia , even worse than hafeez.

 

[Neferpitou]

Pretty even. Hafeez hasn't done well in Aus, SA, Eng, NZ at all. Malik has done terribly in NZ (2004 only though) and Eng but averages 49 in SA.

Malik is great.

 

[UpInTheAir]

lol! btw he has all the ability to do such stuff!

I can't stand how he's playing forward defense. Not made for the modern game.

 

[Mamoon]

Asad's cut shots excite me.

 

[Hawkeye]

No power or timing in shafiq's cut shots even though he swings himself off his feet

Yeah, he's not a good timer like Hafeez or Amin.

 

[Abdullah719]

No power or timing in shafiq's cut shots even though he swings himself off his feet

I like how he plays pull shots with all his might, and barely manages to clear midwicket.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Hafeez can play as a full time bowler , malik cant.

 

[shaz619]

Because we lost an early wicket, thanks to hack Sarfraz.

Even then; I still prefer him at no.3 or no.4

 

[hefaith]

please someone get shafiq out

 

[umer187]

why did shoaib malik not come out at no.3 today?

just team management things!

 

[shaz619]

Even if Asad messes up here which I won't be so surprised if he does, am glad he's getting the chance to play before a home crowd.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Shafiq is one of the better timers in pakistani team , he takes some time to get settled though. Thats why i think he cant be an odi player.

 

[axl100mph]

Don't know, maybe some English influence because I have lot of British Pakistani cousins and I spend a lot of time there.

That is rare tbh coz most of the burgers I see in pak Have or try to have the north american dialect. Even I HV been influenced.

 

[shaz619]

just team management things!

There's no consistency with these guys I could swear Sarfraz didn't open in the last game or am I just dreaming

 

[Mamoon]

Bookish technique by Asad.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Pretty impressive by asad so far , 17 runs without a boundary. I like this thing about karachi batsmen , they like running their runs.

 

[axl100mph]

I like how he plays pull shots with all his might, and barely manages to clear midwicket.

That's coz he doesn't pick length very well and is late on the short balls

 

[Mamoon]

That is rare tbh coz most of the burgers I see in pak Have or try to have the north american dialect. Even I HV been influenced.

I hate fake accents, and I'm not a burger.

 

[jog_1]

Feel bad for Haris Sohail. First he didn't get selected for the T20s. Then his normal #3 position in ODIs has been swapped. TTFs stealing his opportunities.

 

[Hawkeye]

Asad.

:dropped

 

[Mamoon]

Reprieve for Azhar.

 

[cricfan967]

Azhars scores as Pakistan ODI captain: 72, 36, 101, 79, 54* . Wow.
