Panthers (328) defeat Dolphins (278) comfortably by 50 runs to register their first win of the Champions One-Day Cup 2024

[Ahmed216]

I like Farhan's balance at the crease.

 

[mominsaigol]

Hurraira isn't that bad actually. This is my first time watching him.

He's got great footwork and is fit and a good runner. I'll hold my judgment for now but so far so good.

 

[Devadwal]

If Shadab Khan is scored 60 odd runs with 144 strike means match should not taken seriously at all .

Whenever i watch him in international cricket he was looks clueless with bat .

The bowlers are the likes of Nouman chacha and usman qadir, obviously he'd score lol

 

[Ahmed216]

Huraira needs to have bit more side-on batting stance. Good bowlers on quicker pitches may trouble him with outswing

 

[Ahmed216]

Poor batting by farhan he's faced 33 balls and huraira only 9. Not enough strike rotation

 

[mominsaigol]

Did shabzada take batting lessons from Misbah?

 

[Human786]

340 winning total ?

328 winning total ? 39/0 in 9.2

 

[pak.cricket]

Nope. It was not cancer. He had a heart condition. Maybe due to age, he is not playing. Not sure about the exact reason.

Maybe.But i recently saw him playing first class cricket. He is still kuch batter than most of our openers.

 

[pak.cricket]

Wow this sahibzada guy has such a poor technique. he will be badly expose in international cricket. can't play swinging ball and does not have enough range of shots either.Don't know why people are asking for his selection in tests.

 

[Ahmed216]

Fantastic hit for 6 nothing wrong with the ball. He can murder spin

 

[Omer2002]

Huraira needs to have bit more side-on batting stance. Good bowlers on quicker pitches may trouble him with outswing

That stance reminds me off yunus khan but good bowlers and seaming wickets will get him

 

[mominsaigol]

I'm liking hirraira so far, but he needs to improve in the 3rd offstump line. Offseing will be his downfall

 

[Rana]

Huraira’s alright eh

 

[Omer2002]

Gone one shot too many

 

[mominsaigol]

I jinked it, he threw it away on rubbish bowling smh.

 

[Rana]

Threw it away there,,

He was looking so good

 

[mominsaigol]

Huraira’s alright eh

He seemed alright and had good intent when he was batting tbf

 

[Rana]

Shadab such a nothing bowler

Carries zero threat

 

[Rana]

He seemed alright and had good intent when he was batting tbf

Probably the best opener I have seen in this tournament so far

Looked very easy for him

 

[Rana]

Clearly Hurraira was on a mission to humiliate Shadab

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

Shadab only gets wickets when the batter throws away his wicket. He is barely club grade.

Should be the end for him in internationals until he learns how to spin the ball.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Shan Masood should take on the role of that Mishal girl in interviewing players.

Her English is not good enough. Shan is bound to be better at least at that

 

[Asif321]

Shadab khan yeh attitude World Cup me dikhana tha

 

[mominsaigol]

Shan Masood should take on the role of that Mishal girl in interviewing players.

Her English is not good enough. Shan is bound to be better at least at that

Come on bro, you're better then that. She's got a pretty face, will attract audience. Now imagine if you replace that Face with Shan Masood's bhoota.

What do you think will happen?

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Yes she's very pretty but communication skills are not good enough.

 

[Ahmed216]

Atrocious batting from farhan led to hurraira dismissal. Scoring was left entirely to the junior partner

 

[mominsaigol]

Yes she's very pretty but communication skills are not good enough.

I don't need communication .

 

[mominsaigol]

Atrocious batting from farhan led to hurraira dismissal. Scoring was left entirely to the junior partner

Rather then blaming farhan, maybe blame Hurraira?

I agree farhan is batting rubbish, but this is an odi and Hurraira already made 8 of 2 deliveires. What was the need to throw it away? Just get the single and you have 9?

 

[mominsaigol]

Shadab is so bad ong. Shame on hurraira.

 

[Ahmed216]

As I said huraira is inexperienced , farhan needed to be more pro-active. Huraira was forced to take chances but expect him to learn from his mistake

He’s clearly looking to beat the bowler when he is down. That’s what Australian/English batsmen do. I think he was just too bored out there, it honestly looked too easy for him.

 

[Ahmed216]

Akhlaq another tailender

 

[Nikhil_cric]

He’s clearly looking to beat the bowler when he is down. That’s what Australian/English batsmen do. I think he was just too bored out there, it honestly looked too easy for him.

Think he lacks a bit of power.

I'm aware however English and aussie batters don't slog my dude.

Butler and Warner were the Classiest examples of bullying bowlers with proper cricketing strokes.

Yes Phil Salt, Travis head and Mcfraser are exceptions as well as a few others.

 

[Rana]

No dolphin batter besides Huraira has looked at home on this track

He clearly fancies the dance down the track straight six like his uncle Shoaib Malik. Mistimed the shot, it happens

Promising prospect nonetheless

 

[mominsaigol]

Naw, it was just poor timing. Jake fraser is a stick, but he can play stick cricket mainly due to timing

 

[mominsaigol]

Ya I'm excited to see more of him

 

[mominsaigol]

Rubbish, rubbish batting by shabzada farhan. I'm never backing him again

 

[Rana]

surely that was a no ball

 

[Omer2002]

Rubbish, rubbish batting by shabzada farhan. I'm never backing him again

I never backed him in the first place . They all are all awful as i said earlier unfortunatelly not one of these batters will get in india's D team

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Naw, it was just poor timing. Jake fraser is a stick, but he can play stick cricket mainly due to timing

Yeah but he has a great bat swing/speed.

 

[mominsaigol]

Saud just can't stop the habit of soft dismissals.

Like what shot was that?

 

[Galla]

Saud just can't stop the habit of soft dismissals.

A soft batter will always get out to soft dismissals.

 

[mominsaigol]

A soft batter will always get out to soft dismissals.

But he's not a soft batter. He's played good innings however he's just useless at times

 

[Galla]

What kind of a team has sarfaraz played.qasim at 5,asif at 6,faheem at 7.lol where are the batters in this team?

 

[Galla]

But he's not a soft batter. He's played good innings however he's just useless at times

He's even softer than king bobby and that is saying something.i hope he improves since we dont have any options atm but it is what it is

 

[FearlessRoar]

The unending problem of Pakistan cricket...

 

[Asad T]

what a shot from Asif

 

[Asad T]

never mind, i spoke too soon. Just when you think Asif Ali looks good, he gets out

 

[Asad T]

What kind of a team has sarfaraz played.qasim at 5,asif at 6,faheem at 7.lol where are the batters in this team?

it's a team overly relient on the openers

 

[Ahmed216]

It's sad to see deadwood like akhlaq Asif play this tournament. Not even gully mohalla level.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Some things never change.

 

[Ahmed216]

never mind, i spoke too soon. Just when you think Asif Ali looks good, he gets out

Did you expect him to play a proper knock here?

 

[Asad T]

Did you expect him to play a proper knock here?

It's the optimist in me. I only follow this team because I have this naive belief that they will succeed ...

 

[RidiculousMan]

The quality of players haven't been that great in this tournament. Nothing much will change in Pak Cricket after this tournament ends.

 

[Asad T]

The quality of players haven't been that great in this tournament. Nothing much will change in Pak Cricket after this tournament ends.

Personally, I just want to see more of Hurraira. a bit disappointed that there is no young quickie in this tourament

 

[Josh]

One thing this tournament has done well is exposing lack of quality players in Pakistan domestic circuit.

 

[Ahmed216]

The quality of players haven't been that great in this tournament. Nothing much will change in Pak Cricket after this tournament ends.

They've ensured none of the promising u-19 players get proper opportunities

 

[batandballbattle]

partnership looking good, dolphins not out of it yet

 

[Asad T]

This is what I have discovered so far in this tournament:

 

[Human786]

This is what I have discovered so far in this tournament:

naughty T - DOL need 101 in 66 balls - any chance ?

 

[Asad T]

naughty T - DOL need 101 in 66 balls - any chance ?

with the amount of dropped catches, misfields. Anything is possible

 

[Ahmed216]

Useful all round cricketer Qasim

 

[Rana]

Qasim playing a blinder here

 

[Galla]

hasnain seems much better than the garbage we currently have in the team

 

[Galla]

qasim is good but i feel he is a number 6.5 might be too high for him.

 

[Asad T]

Useful all round cricketer Qasim

really good fielder as well

 

[Asad T]

 

[Asad T]

Is Hasnain chucking?

 

[Mohraheem]

Don’t get ur hopes up regarding Husnain! Husnain will get smashed in international so please take seat. He is only a domestic player m. 1 out of 40 games he will perform

 

[Mohraheem]

Is Hasnain chucking?

not a international player he is like Chacha

 

[Mohraheem]

hasnain seems much better than the garbage we currently have in the team

He is another garbage. Just 1 of fluke performances

 

[Nasty Naz]

Some thoughts on the game:

- Jokes to see Usman Khan scoring a century after all the domestic coaches and selectors ignored him for years and he seems like one of the better players available domestically. Just shows how much our domestic coaches & selectors lack the ability to properly evaluate and develop talent.

- Nice to see Haider have a nice game. Seem to take well to that 5/6 role in PSL too so hopefully we can see him dominate in that role in this upcoming season.

- Shadab seems to continue heading towards as a batting allrounder - it's nice to see him bat well but Pakistan need that Shadab that existed in earlier in his career. Did see him bowl some nice overs after 4 overs or so mark - I didn't see the last two so I am not sure how that went but early on he was just bowling consistently too full. Found a better line/length in that 5-6 over mark. I hope he plays a full FC season, puts in the hard yard to fix that line/length issue and get back to the bowler he used to be.

- Happy to see Qasim Akram play well. Talented lad and aesthetically pleasing to watch.

- Arafat Minhas on a squad with Shadow/Usama/Mubasir as the spinners on the team. C'mon... that is utterly stupid and disappointing. Meanwhile Saudi Shakeel has washed up Nauman Ali when Arafat could easily be on that squad getting much needed in-game reps.

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Highlights of Panthers vs Dolphins

 

[shamaan]

Qasim Akram will be a t20 specialist in the future.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Haider played a good knock. I was hoping much more from Asif Ali but he failed yet again..
