Scotland v Pakistan | 1st T20I | Edinburgh | June 12th, 2018 | Pakistan Innings

[imshally81]

Why Nawaz in the team?

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Watt is an international class bowler. Was impressed with him against Eng too and was the best bowler of the match.

 

[troodon]

Scotland would be very happy with the total Pak got so far.

Pak should be smart and send in Asif Ali or Faheem Ashraf if they want to get to 180.

 

[imshally81]

 

[malik29695]

Scoring is tough without babar

 

[Syed1]

Team going at almost 8 rpo and Pak fans still crying...

 

[mmkextreme_1]

what did Sarfaraz just say to Talat when he refused the single?

 

[imshally81]

 

[Markhor]

Hussain Talat not striking the ball cleanly.

 

[MRSN]

Team going at almost 8 rpo and Pak fans still crying...

yeah it's Scotland but hey our captain needs some selfish runs to make a case of a performing captain against this mighty Scotland. LOL

 

[imshally81]

Another

 

[imshally81]

Taking advantage

 

[Plumb]

here we go again.... taking cheap shots at Sarfi....

 

[imshally81]

Wow... again

 

[Syed1]

yeah it's Scotland but hey our captain needs some selfish runs to make a case of a performing captain against this mighty Scotland. LOL

Had he not come up the order you lot would be like Sarfaraz is even hiding against mighty Scotland.... he just cannot win against people who hate him for non-cricketing reasons

 

[imshally81]

Average 1st innings total is 159...interesting

 

[Sirris]

what did Sarfaraz just say to Talat when he refused the single?

"bache tujhe mein agle match mein drop karta hoon"

 

[imshally81]

 

[Nasty Naz]

What a ridiculously terrible shot by Talat there.

 

[Syed1]

Garbage shot from Talat

 

[imshally81]

Had he not come up the order you lot would be like Sarfaraz is even hiding against mighty Scotland.... he just cannot win against people who hate him for non-cricketing reasons

Spot on...

 

[troodon]

Poor innings from Talat.

 

[mmkextreme_1]

Another wicket thrown away

 

[mmkextreme_1]

Hope they send in Asif Ali

 

[Vancricketfan]

poor batting from Pakistan batsmen. it will be a close game now.

 

[mmkextreme_1]

WTH, Malik comes in....send in the youngster!

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Batting not that easy as i thought from England match. May be because its a used pitch?

 

[imshally81]

Batting not that easy as i thought from England match. May be because its a used pitch?

Yes batting isn't easy...

 

[malik29695]

malik is gonna thrash them

 

[mmkextreme_1]

poor batting from Pakistan batsmen. it will be a close game now.

Keep saying that to yourself

With Pakistans bowling, we should be able to defend anything above 140-150. We are on track to get a score of 160+.

 

[coy0607]

Fakhar, Talat and Shehzad have all been disappointing today

Need Sarfraz to bat through

 

[boomboom6]

Poor shots from Fakhar & Talat

 

[babajee]

It’s ok. It’s hard to play against bad bowlers....

 

[Arham_PakFan]

All 3 wickets have been poor shots.

 

[imshally81]

Brother of imran tahir?

 

[imshally81]

What a dive.. M

 

[Arham_PakFan]

100 up for Pakistan.Need 80 more at the minimum

 

[Vancricketfan]

It’s ok. It’s hard to play against bad bowlers....

lol what kind of excuse is this?

 

[imshally81]

 

[Nasty Naz]

Finally some intent...

 

[troodon]

Finally a six.

 

[Justcrazy]

115 . 3

14 overs

 

[DeadBall]

Stay on topic guys.

 

[imshally81]

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan need a strong finish here , need to use the wickets in hand.

 

[babajee]

60 off the last 5 please.

 

[Justcrazy]

124 . 3

15 overs

 

[imshally81]

 

[boomboom6]

Our lack of 6 hitting is a real concern ...

 

[Nasty Naz]

Malik vs spinners is a thing of beauty.

 

[imshally81]

 

[Justcrazy]

Good start to over

 

[imshally81]

again

 

[Markhor]

Haven't been a big Malik supporter but respect to him for the way he's pushing these 2s well into his thirties.

 

[Nasty Naz]

Straight clean sixes. If I'm Babar Azam and I am looking to improve vs spin, Malik is the guy I'd listen to.

 

[imshally81]

This time from sarfaraz

 

[Justcrazy]

strong finish to over

 

[Nasty Naz]

A six for Sarfraz as well. Good to see him scoring some runs.

 

[Syed1]

What a shot by Kaptaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan



#Best since Immy


#Cry haters

 

[Taaya]

Those who want Shoaib Malik dropped need to self-reflect.

 

[imshally81]

50 from skipper...
leading from the front..

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Straight clean sixes. If I'm Babar Azam and I am looking to improve vs spin, Malik is the guy I'd listen to.

Yep from Pakistan Malik
Babar's game against spin is not like Youis or Sarfraz who rely more on sweep and sometimes unorthodox shots.

 

[Asch Ali]

Hafeez is better than Shezzy

 

[babajee]

Those who want Shoaib Malik dropped need to self-reflect.

This is his level.

 

[Syed1]

40-45 runs can be expected off last 4 overs with Ashraf and Ali still to come

 

[imshally81]

...

 

[Nasty Naz]

Just incredible stand and deliver stuff from Malik.

 

[Justcrazy]

malik

 

[imshally81]

Back to back
WOW

 

[Syed1]

But but but our lack of sixes is a problem

 

[coy0607]

Malik is a T20 master. Especially against attack heavy with spinners

 

[imshally81]

:50:
For malik... Well played.. M

 

[ManFan]

This is nasty stuff from Mian

 

[malik29695]

told you malik is gonna thrash them

 

[Taaya]

This is his level.

So what did Fakhar and Talat do today, if Malik is feasting on minnows? To be clear, I love Fakhar and Talat. But Malik is equally essential to our limited overs side.

 

[Markhor]

Shoaib Malik showing the England lineup how to play Watt here. Don't give the man spin during death overs.

Some excellent hits.

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Scots captain missed a trick here. 2 extra overs for spinners here.

 

[boomboom6]

our youngsters need to learn how to hit 6s vs spin from Malik ... what a beast !!

 

[babajee]

So what did Fakhar and Talat do today, if Malik is feasting on minnows? To be clear, I love Fakhar and Talat. But Malik is equally essential to our limited overs side.

Fakhar can score against good bowlers. Malik can not.

Jury is still out on Talat.

 

[boomboom6]

But but but our lack of sixes is a problem

it most certainly is ... this is Malik doing the job, youngsters at this level are a question mark outside of Fakhar who tends to throw it away
