[Pakistani Pace]

Lol umar akmal

 

[waleed88]

)

This aint the 90's.

We still play the same way. Better than losing wickets.

 

[On_the_up]

8 an over from here gets to 286. Not easy but achievable

 

[zabalestmsm]

This mess is all due to Misbah.

Pathetic knock.

I dont think there is any mess! We are good so far!

 

[Bilsher007]

We need to up the rate but with a rhythm and momentum, not making risky shots. umar needs to mentally prepare to bat 14 overs with misbah.

 

[nads_rocks]

Umar AKmal is going to get out on a rash shot. He does not look very confident.

 

[razazaidi]

This aint T20 either, you need to know how to contruct an innings and occupy the crease. Not go for it from the start. This team without Misbah can't last 40 overs let alone 50 and can barely manage 200 between them. If it wasn't for Misbah's aggressive innings against UAE last game we would have been knocked out...

Agree. But at least you can rotate the strike. Like how Virat played against us.

Misbah fans are here, it is because of Misbah, if Misbah was there we will play 40 overs and score more than what we score in 50 overs with Misbah

 

[Pakistani Pace]

Come on Umar

 

[Arsal_AK]

Oh Really? Have you not seen how your team (India) played in this WC??

Yes I have.

None of there bats had 20 of 45. If they had got a start like this it would have been a 350 plus score.

Anything else??

Well no wonder Pakistan team always has to worry about what people are saying.. You guys are into sensationalism and dramatics when it comes to cricket.. you jump to extremes in your mood like little girls..

the Middle overs are all about keeping wickets and going ahead.. doesn't matter if the runrate falls slightly below 5.. the key is to hold wickets..

After 35-40 overs with wickets in hand.. you can really push ahead.

If you don't know this simple thing.. then you should stop watching cricket..

If you think people should keep firing in middle overs... you should stop watching cricket. Hey it's great if they can.. but it is not a must and considering the bottom of the barrel that pakistan is trying to climb out of.. this is EXCELLENT PLAY SO FAR!!..

You must be kidding. Batta pitch with 45m boundaries deserves 50 more runs at this stage.

Sounds like you will be satisfied with a respectable loss.

 

[Bilsher007]

8 an over from here gets to 286. Not easy but achievable

We might score 100 plus runs last 10 overs.

 

[Watsupdoc]

This has been a very ordinary innings from Misbah, but he needs to play till the eve now.

 

[razazaidi]

Lets hope Misbah gets out soon

 

[Pakistani Pace]

Hope it gets washed out

idiocy of the highest order.

In a ground that is smaller than my kitchen, you target free run flow to score 400. . By your logic, team will end up with 230 runs.

Watch how SA replies back, and learn how teams play ACCORDING to the playing environment and match situation,

Misbah should have NEVER came in. He was suited for No 11 on this wicket. Afridi or Umer Should have been sent in instead of Misbah.

 

[Enforcer]

pakistan should target to score 320 here. 300+ total are chaseable in NZ grounds.

 

[angrypathan]

8 an over from here gets to 286. Not easy but achievable

9 an over gets 300, which should be the minimum we need to be looking for

 

[cricfan967]

This!

 

[Bilsher007]

umar akmal needs to show more responsibility with his strokes.

 

[nads_rocks]

Agree. But at least you can rotate the strike. Like how Virat played against us.

Virat is in a class of his own, no comparison. Misbah is in his 40s and for him to be at that age and be the best batsman in the whole Pakistan team says alot. Take him out the equation and Pakistan are worser than UAE.

 

[Electron]

Amla's fielding looks so awkward at times.

 

[Aloo Chaat]

Ugh

 

[Pakistani Pace]

What was he thinking?!?

 

[FreeBird]

Lets hope Misbah gets out soon

Been praying this for the last 10 overs.

 

[Bilsher007]

ohhhh dear..umar akmal living dangerously

 

[angrypathan]

Akmal not coping with the bounce

 

[imshally81]

Umar akmal in test mode

 

[FreeBird]

What's the point of taking this power play ??

 

[Strike Rate]

meanwhile jambo is enjoying watching the game

The funny part is how he is telling everyone who dissagres with him that they have no clue about cricket.

The irony.

 

[Ottoman]

Can't see Pakistan getting more than 260 here.

 

[Bilsher007]

It is hightime you bring maturity to your batting umar akmal.. Pakistan and misbah need support.

 

[Aloo Chaat]

 

[angrypathan]

Been praying this for the last 10 overs.

I guess you're the idiot that would take 225 all out over 280/6

 

[Pakistani Pace]

Gonee

 

[Mr Consistent]

akmal

 

[Red Devil]

Damnit

 

[imshally81]

:

 

[Bilsher007]

Umar Akmal... will never learn !

 

[Arsal_AK]

There you go. Another one as a direct consequence.

 

[nads_rocks]

There ya go you people wanted this. Umar Akmal gives it away. Misbahs fault for that shot I guess?

 

[cricfan967]

 

[waleed88]

wow pathetic from umar akmal

 

[Aloo Chaat]

Need 150 from Boom boom today

 

[Shafi]

I am really impressed that we lasted 37 overs

 

[FreeBird]

Didn't I say, Umer will get out now?

HORRIBLE to take PP when Misbah is on the crease. Absolutely HORRIBLE !!!

 

[ekpakistani]

Rubbish from akmal

 

[soso_killer]

Akmal is gone. Pakistan mut be careful of not getting bowled out

 

[CalculatedRisk]

Misbah aiming for 250 lol

 

[zabalestmsm]

We must not throw it away! God help us!

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Thank you Misbah
[emoji144]

 

[Watsupdoc]

Ok I was wrong. This has been a splendid innings from Misbah.

Umar throws it away again

 

[Ottoman]

and now 240 here.

 

[rhony]

It was tailor made for Maqsood and Akmal... Why Why Why? Don't they ever learn?

 

[Red Devil]

We'd be very lucky to get to 250 now

 

[GreenRage]

What an ******* misbah.

 

[CalculatedRisk]

Pakistan just can't survive 50 overs

 

[Bilsher007]

Another powerplay gone down the gutter !

 

[Laal]

Umar Akmal, again. The less is said the better.

 

[Arsal_AK]

There ya go you people wanted this. Umar Akmal gives it away. Misbahs fault for that shot I guess?

Misbah is dead batting everything.

Its the batting PP. Some has to go after the bowling.

That said, horrible shot ftom Akmal.

 

[ekpakistani]

Ok folks.. i have no hopes of afridi... perhaps wahab can get a few runs... real danger of not playing 50 overs

 

[pakistanisgreat]

hack is gone

 

[Aloo Chaat]

 

[razazaidi]

Terrible. Only if Misbah can ease of the pressure from the other end

 

[imshally81]

Lala on

+1
You see these people have popcorn brain syndrome... Every dot ball, every run not scored .. is an opportunity where their brain is not stimulated.. and so they jump to extreme conclusions.

 

[SpiritOf1903]

Duck incoming

 

[akamaka]

dont worry we will somehow get to 250 , captain's target from beginning

 

[H2O1]

Walking wicket comes lol

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan need a partnership here

 

[nads_rocks]

Another failure and walking wicket. Its all upto Misbah and Wahab after this.

 

[waleed88]

When will this idiot learn??

 

[Big Mac]

Junior whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy?

 

[Pantani]

If you bowl a few dots to any Pakistan batsman other than Misbah, you're guaranteed wickets.

 

[Watsupdoc]

Didn't I say, Umer will get out now?

HORRIBLE to take PP when Misbah is on the crease. Absolutely HORRIBLE !!!

You have to take the power play at the 35th over. ;

 

[Pak_Jazba]

Need atleast another 100 to have a shot.

 

[Bilsher007]

And then you guys cry at misbah playing slow ! ha ha ha
