Good field set by Shezzi, not bad captaincy by him tbh.
Yeah, commies have been praising his captaincy too. I hope next time we give more youngsters a chance to captain.

Umar should take a break from the game for 6 months to a year - perform Umrah/Hajj, spend time with family & watch lots of cricket in TV. It's not happening for him there in field & he is damaging his long-term prospect. He is around 27-29, still 10-12 years of cricket left in him. 1 Year sacrifice can save a decade, otherwise I don't see him in PAK colors after 2016.

Yasir is so easy to milk in ODIs. They haven't done it enough

I think i know why.![]()
MMHS, you are getting the feed in Bangla?
Because of Babar
Safe to say Nawaz needs few more years in domestics, he ain't ready.
People like to hate on Imad Wasim, but he's done enough in international cricket to warrant the England series, and he's the only one we have close to an allrounder.
IMO we should recruit Asghar and Manzoor.
YESSS. I am supporting babar too. However, i have this constant fear of him being just another akmal in disguise.![]()
Why?
But, I understand 5 languages more or less - Hindi, Urdu, Punjabi & now trying French.
Hasn't looked like it so far in international cricket
His batting against spin is suspect ( reference: Pak - England series)
No I think he's a very good player of spin. Everyone else today has looked like a tailender. His Eng series wasn't too bad either
Babar needs to play Vurat Kohli type of innings to save Balochistan.

First of all, this is absolute disgrace of a List A wicket. With 4 batsmen, had KPK batted 1st, they would have lost it by over 100 runs like Islamabad lost to Sindh.
Unless Aga Zahid & his team is kicked out of the job & PCB doesn't appoint a professional, PAK wickets are not going to change. Initially, I though it was lack of competence & willingness, but now I am sure that PCB & it's grounds committee has absolutely no clue that these are absolute pathetic wicket for LO cricket.
Now, Umar, Amin (& to a certain extent Babar) are good players of balls on the rise. These are the 3 PAK batsman with some level of back-foot game - otherwise, not a single player (may be YK, but he doesn't play LO) can hit a ball on back foot with vertical bat. Playing on these wickets 'll expose Umar's temperament even more - his first 4/5 big innings were in AUS/NZ & most impressive part of his game was back-foot drive on vertical bat either side of point. Now, even in his extra cover drives, bat ends on left shoulders, means he is forcing everything on bottom hand & shoulders, rather than using wrist & elbow. Inzi is no nonsense - apart from Muzra saga, he'll notice this immediately & I fear Umar 'll be dropped from T20 as well.
This tournament is an eye opener - above everything, the 2 aspects which PAK LO side is in absolute disaster is the batting of top 3 (batting in PP) & fielding (3rd probably new ball bowling, again in PP). I can see why - it's extremely easy for openers in PAK domestics - these players can't play dominating game in Internationals on true wickets & against new ball. Fielding is different issue though.
Can someone give me an honest assessment of Shehzad's captaincy?

[MENTION=141320]ZaynM[/MENTION] that backfired lol. MMHS is absolutely right.Nothing - when Azhar & Babar was getting the ball on bat, he put 4 men on line despite the slowness of the wicket. This is a pathetic wicket for List A Game & he is just doing routine things. On this shameful wicket, PAK national team 'll need to bat 3 times if they are to chase 247 against same bowling, if the Captain was MSD.
It's easy to Captain when you have 75 runs handicap simply because of winning the toss.
Commies have been praising shehzad's captaincy today. He had an aggressive field for yasir and it paid dividends in the form of akmal's wicket. Thats why PCB should move on from oldies and choose young captains to give them experience.

Brilliant bowling change by Shezzi, it worked and Shahid gone.
Gotta say Shezzy's aggressive captaincy has been a revelation
LOL. Never would have seen such aggressive field placement under Azhar, Misbah or Afridi. Well done.would be proud.

I'm getting two completely different answers, MMHS is he at least decent?Nothing - when Azhar & Babar was getting the ball on bat, he put 4 men on line despite the slowness of the wicket.

Impressive pro active captaincy. A breath of fresh air, and he looks so calm and cool while handling the affairs.

Brilliant attacking field set by Shezzi.
MMHS can you provide a comparison between Azhar's and Ahmed's captaincy today. You seem like a knowledgeable poster, to be honest.
Difficult, because I am watching the KKR match mostly today.
Of the 2 Ahmed is definitely better today, because he won the toss on a PCB special wicket. Had Baluchistan batted 1st, Azhar would have won the match by 100+ runs, as KPK is basically 3.5 batsmen team.
Both of the 'll look clueless defending even 300 on absolute belters with lighting quick out-field & batsmen who are proud of their running skills.
Akmal esque walk back to the dressing room.
Not converting his fifties like the initial fifties of Akmal.Hope that is the only similarity
There you go mahmood.
Babar hasn't converted in this tournament even once. Very disappointing

There is nothing wrong in the pitch.[MENTION=79064]MMHS[/MENTION] is right this is a disgusting pitch for LO game. Won't find this surface in any ODI game

I am willing to give him next 14 years. He is our future.True but give him a few more games. He got an around 80 score in the last NZ ODI

Yaar, if want to improve your cricket knowledge, 1st thing you need to do is use "mute" when PAK commentators are on fire. Chisty Muzahid saw Intekhab debuting, therefore, you know ......
Can anyone tell me, any commi is telling anything outside what I can see? Describing a cricket match, I can do better than most of those because apart from Chity, probably my English is far better than others.

Notice how Pakistani groundsmen always make excuse of "oh we can't produce good wickets because of the climate or soil composition" - yet even India and Sri Lanka have been able to produce sporting wickets.First of all, this is absolute disgrace of a List A wicket. With 4 batsmen, had KPK batted 1st, they would have lost it by over 100 runs like Islamabad lost to Sindh.
