Terrible review

 

[Chokli]

So Azhar Ali, shall we bring him back?

there is no need when you have imam ul haq

do you have any signifiant replacement for junaid?

 

[Green Patriot]

Review?

 

[QalandarFan]

pretty sure the team is liking being led by malik

Yes he is a calm cool and collected guy, kind of like Dhoni.

 

[ILcricket]

with rain forecast & wet ball & DLS to consider , i thought this would be a win toss & bat first condition .
How is the pitch & what should be a good score ? Incidentally , Malik is a way better captain than Sarfaraz will ever be .
24/2 & review wasted by keeper .

 

[Pete Rose]

Hehe. That’s an awful appeal

 

[shah_1]

Poor review

 

[imshally81]

What a bad review... Rizwanz fault

 

[QalandarFan]

Was a horrible reveiw what a waste.

 

[Green Patriot]

Waste of a review.

 

[Hawkeye]

Brilliant by Amir again.

Sarfi screams are a pain for everyone.

 

[Pete Rose]

there is no need when you have imam ul haq

do you have any signifiant replacement for junaid?

We didn’t have afridi bowling then, we do now. Junaid got injured along the way hence dropped and no neeed to rush him back

 

[QalandarFan]

After retirement of ABD these South African team is looking half the side it used to be in ODI....

How pivotal of a player he was. He was basically half the team. Reason they won the series in India, reason they got to the Semi’s in WC and so much more!

 

[Pete Rose]

Easiest wat to impress commentators in cricket: pack the slips. Although I should add it’s jsutified here

 

[Chokli]

We didn’t have afridi bowling then, we do now. Junaid got injured along the way hence dropped and no neeed to rush him back

if he is fit then he should be in the side and he is fit.

 

[Shandarchowka]

Lot of venom in our bowling today! Lots of difference in attitude from previous matches!

 

[QalandarFan]

Amazing from Amir!

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Amir looks attacking today, lately he has just focused om containing

 

[Pete Rose]

Rameez coming in with trademark depth: ‘ALL that is required SOMETIMES is to do the basic stuff right”

 

[DRsohail]

Guys once again doing well in patches.

 

[Mueez]

Oyeeee just woke up!

Malik captaining today? Rizwan playing?

Am I still dreaming?

 

[Chokli]

usman will probably go for 70-75 runs today

 

[a_tahir]

Amir looks attacking today, lately he has just focused om containing

He knows that he is going for runs anyway. He hasn't gotten a wicket for 6 odis.
So needs to attack.
I prefer this instead of being defensive

 

[Something]

[MENTION=141804]QalandarFan[/MENTION] predicted 37/3 after 10. A bold prediction but very close it looks like!

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Lol Faf. 2 off 14. What a tuk tuk player.

 

[QalandarFan]

If we win this series Malik will become the second coming of Imran Khan. Watch the threads pour in once we win!

He’s captained well though, taking Shinwari off when required using slips properly.

 

[DRsohail]

Amir looks attacking today, lately he has just focused om containing

He knows this is his last chance. Attack or go out.

 

[Pete Rose]

if he is fit then he should be in the side and he is fit.

I see no evidence to say he is fit enough for international cricket. He should play the whole bpl to get there.

 

[JibranAnsari]

140 plus will be very difficult pace for batsmen on this pitch.

 

[QalandarFan]

[MENTION=141804]QalandarFan[/MENTION] predicted 37/3 after 10. A bold prediction but very close it looks like!

Momentum was with us from the moment the news of Sarfraz’s ban rolled in. Just need to pick up another wicket in this next over!

 

[IAJ]

If you take out those 3 poor deliveries by Shinwari in an over SA have done nothing.

 

[ILcricket]

A winning total batting first would be ....
270 ?

 

[Nikhil_cric]

No need to have reviewed that especially when you have already taken two in the power play.

 

[Chokli]

I see no evidence to say he is fit enough for international cricket. He should play the whole bpl to get there.

and i see no evidence to say he is not match fit

 

[Pete Rose]

If we win this series Malik will become the second coming of Imran Khan. Watch the threads pour in once we win!

He’s captained well though, taking Shinwari off when required using slips properly.

Malik in general has been a good captain whenever given opportunities. Problem is that he doesn’t deserve his slot in the team.

 

[DRsohail]

If we win this series Malik will become the second coming of Imran Khan. Watch the threads pour in once we win!

He is the bday best captaincy material we have. But he has to perform with the bat.

 

[Chokli]

If you take out those 3 poor deliveries by Shinwari in an over SA have done nothing.

12 runs, if only he kept it tight

 

[QalandarFan]

A winning total batting first would be ....
270 ?

More like a losing total, anything under 300 is a losing total.

 

[Pete Rose]

and i see no evidence to say he is not match fit

I am happy that the selectors did the right thing here.

 

[superman]

140 plus will be very difficult pace for batsmen on this pitch.

I thought you write 140 will be a difficult target for pakistani batsman on this pitch, and even that didn’t seem like a silly post

 

[Chokli]

Malik in general has been a good captain whenever given opportunities. Problem is that he doesn’t deserve his slot in the team.

he was good from 2007-2009 and wasn't doing bad with the bat either.

the seniors had other plans at the time.


what's worse is they're not doing anything to groom a youngster as captain

 

[QalandarFan]

He is the bday best captaincy material we have. But he has to perform with the bat.

Yeah maybe he should swap roles with Hafeez. He isn’t a finisher anymore, maybe go at 4.

 

[MMHS]

PAK pacers, in fact the entire team looking like demotivated, disengaged, clueless and directionless without someone constantly keeping their character in check with verbal guidance.

 

[Something]

That was a nice try from Shadab!

 

[QalandarFan]

Wow the fielding and energy by Pak in the field has been electric ️ today!

 

[shariqnoor]

I'm just enjoying watching these guys bowl without the useless commentary of Sarfraz. Now that he isn't in the team, it only magnifies how annoying Sarfraz was.

 

[Chokli]

Wow the fielding and energy by Pak in the field has been electric ️ today!

lol it's like when your teacher doesn't come into work or when your boss is sick etc.

 

[QalandarFan]

Lmao truly missing you know who here.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Dont think spinners have much scope on this pitch , shadab will go for a plenty.

 

[Mueez]

The team is looking different without Sarfraz.

Has the team disowned him?

 

[JibranAnsari]

Is this the first time amir is bowling first change?

 

[QalandarFan]

They will be 37-3 after the first 10!

Close enough...

 

[Sirris]

What's the reason behind all the pink again?

 

[Mir jibran]

The team is looking different without Sarfraz.

Has the team disowned him?

was thinking the same!!!
kahin coup na hojaye

 

[Chokli]

jeez, fine leg should have been inside the circle

 

[imshally81]

The team is looking different without Sarfraz.

Has the team disowned him?

Maybe some personal grudges??

 

[Chokli]

What's the reason behind all the pink again?

breast cancer awareness

 

[imshally81]

Cancer awareness

 

[Pete Rose]

I think they’ll appoint one post World Cup. Might get some clues in the World Cup squad, if things don’t go well for Sarfraz in the lead to the World Cup.

 

[Mueez]

was thinking the same!!!
kahin coup na hojaye

Maybe some personal grudges??

Maybe because of his shouting and the on-field behavior?

 

[QalandarFan]

lol it's like when your teacher doesn't come into work or when your boss is sick etc.

Lmao, so true! )

 

[imshally81]

Back to back boundaries

 

[Pete Rose]

If Amir had bowled liked this in every game that he was wicketless, the fans might have a little more patience with him.

 

[Chokli]

Lmao, so true! )

you in edmonton?

 

[JibranAnsari]

Amir why not bowl seam up?

 

[MMHS]

Lmao truly missing you know who here.

Hssssssssss, koi sun na le. I have to keep my a$$ covered, until there is a "permanent" solution.

 

[Shafi]

Amir should be released after this match for PSL preparation.

 

[QalandarFan]

you in edmonton?

Yeah

 

[Mir jibran]

Maybe because of his shouting and the on-field behavior?

maybe because his own performances have been dismal

 

[Mueez]

Amir’s bowling differently today.

Attacking more than containing.

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

All the pressure lifted ÷ awful bowling

 

[Chokli]

Yeah

hows the weather done there,

wanted to go get mcdonalds but it's freaking snowing here in toronto

 

[imshally81]

Shinwari on..

 

[Pete Rose]

The bowling machine is on again

 

[JibranAnsari]

Shinwari is not international standard.

 

[xricket]

Amir bowling with wobbly seam and going for plenty

 

[Chokli]

a leader like sarfraz who yells at every little thing has no place in this generation.

it's not the 80s or 90s or even the 00s anymore where the boss or your leader is supposed to be a pr!ck.

 

[imshally81]

What a combination of Shinwari and Afridi....
Dono ki Karahi (both mutton & Chicken) achi hoti hein
