[PICTURES # 215] Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (246/8) inflict a 74 run defeat on Balochistan (172)

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.

A break won't do him any good , the problem is with his intelligence. He is a 12 year kid.
 
Yasir is so easy to milk in ODIs. They haven't done it enough

I agree. More and more frustrating by the day

No one except Babar has done enough.

As an opener, you expect Babar to have faced 1/2 of the overs but he's only faced 1/3. Shows how poorly others have rotated strike.
 
Haha we have some rubbish batsmen. Feel for 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.
 
Shahid Yousuf is the 3rd or 4th biggest hack in this tournament.
 
If you guys wanna get out then do it before wasting overs. Both Nawaz and Shahid wasted about 5 overs

If Ashghar doesn't get the England LOI series I will be furious.
 
Why?

But, I understand 5 languages more or less - Hindi, Urdu, Punjabi & now trying French.

Because i thought PTV only had coverage in Pakistan, my bad. :3

Wow. Thats really cool. I am thinking of learning german - would help me for my master program admissions as well.
 
Tanvir is a better batsman than Nawaz right now

Very disappointing tournament so far , we have substandard cricketers coming up. Really not much to look forward to.
 
Does Balochistans under 19 kid know how to bat?

LOL. Never would have seen such aggressive field placement under Azhar, Misbah or Afridi. Well done. :kohli would be proud.
 
Beauty by Asghar this is why these clueless idiots had to hit Yasir early

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
 
These idiots take high risk shots to get 1

I admit i havent seen much of babar. That is why i used the word suspect. Hopefully he is as good as you say.
 
Tanvir should stick to playing shots on the leg side. Biggest leg side hack I've seen along with Anwar Ali

Balochistan v KPK | Pakistan Cup 2016 | Faisalabad | Apr 24, 2016 | Balochistan Innings

Babar needs to play Vurat Kohli type of innings to save Balochistan.

He's not near that level yet but he has shown his potential today. He is our best ODI batsman currently along with maybe Hafeez
 
Can someone give me an honest assessment of Shehzad's captaincy?

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't expect much from Babar Azam considering the situation he is in.
 
Babar needs to take this as close as possible

MMHS can you provide a comparison between Azhar's and Ahmed's captaincy today. You seem like a knowledgeable poster, to be honest.

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.

[MENTION=141320]ZaynM[/MENTION] that backfired lol. MMHS is absolutely right.
 
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.

Good field set by Shezzi, not bad captaincy by him tbh.

Brilliant bowling change by Shezzi, it worked and Shahid gone.

Gotta say Shezzy's aggressive captaincy has been a revelation

I'm getting two completely different answers, MMHS is he at least decent?
Impressive pro active captaincy. A breath of fresh air, and he looks so calm and cool while handling the affairs.

Babar should take this to the last 10 overs even if 80 is required

Good 50 Babar. Into said he won't look at numbers but the situation in which the runs are scored. Babar is proving he is our best ODI batsman

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.
 
Soft poor dismissal of Babar. This is the difference between Kohli and our players. Long way to go for this guy but he is a good player

I think this explains. You must see other poster's comments. The captaincy has been really good.
 
Babar hasn't converted in this tournament even once. Very disappointing

Azhar ALi was captain of Lahore Qalandars, his team got destroyed. Now he is captain of Balochistan and we are seeing result. And he is captain of our ODI team :((
 
Play 4 spinners on this wicket, bat first and you win the game. Even bad ODI bowlers like Yasir will do well

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.

Not converting his fifties like the initial fifties of Akmal.

We witnesses that from 2009-2011.

FINALLLYY someone sees this too. Talent bhai, must say you got eye for talent. :)) I fear the same from Babar which i mentioned in hidden words to ali. The azam in the end can very well end up as akmal if babar is not careful.

Fantastic crowd, this exposes the incompetence of PCB. Instead of pampering the "chosen one", PCB could have sold this game much better to the mass, for whom still cricket is the most favorite pass time.

I really feel sorry for the crowd - they deserve more than this pathetic show. However, they are privileged to watch 3 different sports in one ticket - cricket, hockey & clay-court tennis.

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.

I refuse to believe this excuse, we could make better wickets if we hired groundsmen who are skilled and not lazy and incompetent like this lot.

Its no coincidence the top batsmen in the world over the years have come from places where they play on good pitches, i.e. Headingley, the Wanderers, SCG etc.
