[Aviator]

This imam should get out on 99...selfish player

 

[Green Patriot]

Come on Imam get your century quick.

We dont want to pull an Amla here.

 

[QalandarFan]

for Hafeez Sobers at 100+ strike rate again!

 

[m.shah]

Chancy fifty for professor

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

Well Hafeez did a job. Plenty of batting to come.

 

[Green Patriot]

Woah what a catch.

 

[QalandarFan]

Come on yaar...

 

[jnaveen1980]

Hafeez 52/3 .well made

 

[Titan24]

Hassan should be promoted

 

[ads101]

I want to see Malik absolutely go for it here. Remember he showed flashes of ability to do that against the pacers in England, but hasn't been the story since.

 

[m.shah]

That is a blinder

 

[JibranAnsari]

There goes our chance of scoring 300. Good innings by hafeeZ.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Hafeez gone, need some big hitting in this last 10 overs and not let platform go to waste.

 

[Wahid1234]

Need to send on hasan ali next need some big sixes

 

[a_tahir]

Both batsmen nearing milestones so expect a dip in the run rate and momentum

Malik averages like 100 on this ground

 

[Stalin]

Hafeez has done his job brilliantly . Now Malik and sarfraz must finish well .

 

[ARK Rafay]

Now the big collapse will happen!

 

[Amjid Javed]

Should send Hasan Ali in now.

 

[Syed1]

Guys what happened to Saffers now coming hard at Pak and ripping through us after Sarf's comments

 

[AFM]

Oh no. Senior beauty out

 

[JibranAnsari]

Not sure if malik should have been sent , he isnt good against pace lately.

 

[Pakhs]

Hafeez done his job

 

[ManFan]

Rabada is a decent ODI bowler but no where near the monster he is in Tests.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Disgraceful fielding so far except last wicket

 

[PakPremi]

Imam shaming a lot of people here

He wqs one of the two I argued for a lot on this forum for atleast he is doing well, the other one let me down on most occasions recently(no prize for guessing who he is LOL).

 

[ads101]

There goes our chance of scoring 300. Good innings by hafeeZ.

We just need around 7 an over from here. Should be very doable really, I think we'll hit 300.

 

[QalandarFan]

How in the world does Malik average a 100 at this ground?

 

[Pete Rose]

Well, there goes the 300

 

[JibranAnsari]

Imam should start scoring a little quicker now. Cant expect malik to thrash 140 plus bowlers.

 

[ads101]

How in the world does Malik average a 100 at this ground?

must be the ground he scored against India in a CT i presume.

 

[ManFan]

Guys what happened to Saffers now coming hard at Pak and ripping through us after Sarf's comments

PP exploded for two days for a comment that the “victim” did not feel offended towards.

However, that should not dismiss Sarfraz’s poor performance with the bat and coming in at Number 8.

 

[topspin]

Excellent from Hafeez. Although I'm not the biggest fan, one thing you have to give him is his selfless approach whenever he bats. Always bats for the team.

 

[PakPremi]

Rabada is a decent ODI bowler but no where near the monster he is in Tests.

We played him ok in test series but that man Olivier did not give us opportunity to dominate him

 

[AFM]

How in the world does Malik average a 100 at this ground?

Very surprising. But then again, he has been around for a long time

 

[ARK Rafay]

Can't expect Malik to bash Pacers straightaway. He takes a bit time as oppose to Hafeez

 

[Pete Rose]

Imam will have to reasses his role here. Malik can only rotate the strike against this bowling

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Imam need to hit a six

 

[Something]

1000 for Imam!

 

[AFM]

Chahchu sitting nervously in the stands

 

[Pete Rose]

Very surprising. But then again, he has been around for a long time

I think there’s a century against India in this

 

[ManFan]

We played him ok in test series but that man Olivier did not give us opportunity to dominate him

We have a habit of making debutants it relatively inexperienced guys look like rockstars.

The excuse that Azhar Ali gave for giving Colin de Grandhomme six on debut was “no prior footage”.

 

[castortroy]

Pak will need min 300. They have de kock in the line up

Hafeez wicket is huge

 

[Pete Rose]

Can't expect Malik to bash Pacers straightaway. He takes a bit time as oppose to Hafeez

15 years and counting

 

[AFM]

I think there’s a century against India in this

Yeah I remember that game

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

This could be Imam's first century against a top side

 

[Mansoor3120]

Since y day evening lot of matches I was watching AUs vs SL for a bit. morning Pak vs SA... soon we will see Eng vs WI, in the evening IND vs NZ.. Fun day for a cricket fan.

What about us we are in village
No cabel so no sports channels

 

[Gullycricket]

He wqs one of the two I argued for a lot on this forum for atleast he is doing well, the other one let me down on most occasions recently(no prize for guessing who he is LOL).

What I like about him is his ability to convert 50's into 100's.Right now no Pak player is looking to score a century.Just enough to book their places.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

We will still choke here. Should get 330 minimum

 

[QalandarFan]

I think there’s a century against India in this

Yep he scored 128 against India in 2009.

 

[Pakhs]

Pak will need min 300. They have de kock in the line up

Hafeez wicket is huge

they will get more than 300

 

[Fineline]

Mian Malik needs to step up now!Enough of his poor display which has been the case for quite some time now!

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

We are going to finish poorly here unless Shoaib hits out. Imam is going to be focusing on getting to a century, he won't want to miss out again.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Imam wont accelerate before getting the 10.

 

[QalandarFan]

315 is on! If Malik can find his mojo that is.

 

[m.shah]

Imam needs to hit out now. Malik will take time.

 

[Chokli]

280 is max what they will get

 

[Pete Rose]

I predict a Malik dismissal off Shamsi

 

[castortroy]

Unless Malik plays a gem I don't really see where the big acceleration is going to come from

 

[ARK Rafay]

Expect Imam to reach his century at mighty 80.0 Strike Rate

 

[Markhor]

Faf going to spin with Malik at the crease.

 

[m.shah]

This was a half trakker

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Another drop

 

[JibranAnsari]

Malik survives

 

[zain7077]

I predict a Malik dismissal off Shamsi

Nearly

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

This could be Imam's first century against a top side

Might cost us the game as well if he goes into safety first mode.

 

[Mansoor3120]

They will score maximum of 275

 

[Pete Rose]

Came close

 

[Gotham Cronie]

Fastest to 1,000 ODI runs

18 Innings - Fakhar Zaman
19 Innings - Imam-ul-Haq
21 Innings - Babar Azam, Q de Kock, IJL Trott, KP Pietersen, IVA Richards

 

[Markhor]

I predict a Malik dismissal off Shamsi

Nearly.

 

[QalandarFan]

Dropped!

 

[ManFan]

Can Mian not hit against spinners anymore?

 

[m.shah]

Tough one

 

[JibranAnsari]

Looks like the repeat of first odi.

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

Every batsman has had a chance. Generous from SA

 

[AFM]

Spinner on

 

[ExpressPacer]

What about us we are in village
No cabel so no sports channels

Where are you?

 

[Chokli]

Might cost us the game as well if he goes into safety first mode.

as if you would even be in this position if it wasn't for him

 

[QalandarFan]

Fastest to 1,000 ODI runs

18 Innings - Fakhar Zaman
19 Innings - Imam-ul-Haq
21 Innings - Babar Azam, Q de Kock, IJL Trott, KP Pietersen, IVA Richards

Amazing we got young Pakistani’s filling up the top 3!

 

[Pete Rose]

Can Mian not hit against spinners anymore?

His numbers since comeback are clear for anyone who wants look beyond total aggregates. No surprise, this

 

[Green Patriot]

Butter fingers.
