Chase of 276 in 45 Overs with Hafeez, Musbah, Fawad and YK all in one line up? Dare I say, Sharjeel would have provided some attack upfront in chase.
 
no they cant.

i said one thing in the other thread. sl lost early wickets but still scored at a good rate. that ensured that they were 85-4 after 18 overs as opposed to 40-4 which would have put even more pressure on their batsmen. u just cant afford to go into a shell after losing a couple of early wickets.
 
Guys we all better get used to it. This is the future without ajmal as ajmal more often then not can keep it crazy tight in death and can get wickets.
 
two of my bowlers in fantasy league team did well...glad i didn't pick junaid...time for malinga and herath to weave their magic and i will score even more points :srini...although misbah and younis should also score a few cause i have them as well:narine
 
If there's one team you can't rely on to chase 250+ its Pakistan. Would love to be proved wrong but this is too familiar - top-order gets out cheaply, middle-order go into their shell and RRR becomes too high, batting collapse, game over.

Let's at least show some fight.
 
While our bowling in the death was pathetic, other than Wahab Riaz to some extent, I blame Misbah's poor captaincy. When we had Sri Lanka down and at 4 down, he should've continued attacking with pace, instead he brings on spin. A)None of our spinners our specialists. B)This is a bad spin bowling track. Same old over defensive captaincy from Misbah.
 
if this was a 50 over game i would have said 70-30 in favour of sl. but now its 90-10 in sl favour

Which indian channel is telecasting this series ?
 
We need to see some subliminal boundary hitting from Shehzad here.
 
With new field rules, this score was always expected. Junaid had a bad day. Pakistan can get this score if they remain positive. But you never know, what will happen. Historically, Pakistan are not good at all in chasing but hopes are high. If we get good start we have a chance. Hopefully :D
 
Some of these lankans look terrible in shape.

look at malinga huge belly.
should smack him.

bowling 130 ks !!!
 
3-YK
5-Misbah
6-Alam

if that is how they bat then :facepalm:

Alam should be 3/4

Maqsood coming in at 7 is stupid, he's already turning into a slogger and when Misbah leaves the RR creeping to 10 with his batting that's what Maqsood is going to do

That will never happen with the middle order batsmen in this lineup

Exactly it all depends on opening partnership if 2 wickets fell early then our batsman will forgot that they have to chase a big total they will go for 176 instead of 276
 
Anyways chasing big totals is good practice for us it will help us in WC and we can terst our bench strength that how good they are (fawad , maqsood and all)

This entire lineup is unbalanced but Misbah said that this series is just to see where the team stands before the WC.
