Sri Lanka v Pakistan | 1st ODI | August 23, 2014 | Hambantota | Pakistan Innings

[Haroon786]

yeah sack the highest scorer in the team who scored at actually a decent pace and scored nearly 50 runs.

Good thinking.

Nope he was batting far too slow and this heaped a ton of pressure on other batsmen and led to wickets falling, potentially resulting in defeat.

 

[Justcrazy]

Slow baating.

[Sunny786]

150 up

 

[aukhan]

Horrible batting by fawad here.

 

[jattafridi]

Both fighting I like it

 

[jusarrived]

Maqsood has done well , I always thot no7 or no6 is a good place to bat for him .

 

[Bullet Drive]

Boundary and then singles. Misbah learn from Sohaib.

 

[SAfridi]

Guys,Fawad is just warming up.Dont worry He Will Fire Soon.Anyways atleast hes won us matches in the past.

 

[Bullet Drive]

8 off it.

 

[saiyan0312]

You know frankly i would trust afridi in the last 5 then the last ten. So lets see where fawad is going here.

 

[Square Drive]

We're only 29 runs behind on D/L.

 

[Mr Consistent]

8 runs from the over

 

[Fastandfurious]

Excellent batting by Fawad.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Compare youngsters scores to 'senior' and you will see the point Ive been trying to prove for last 3 years.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Both rotating the strike wonderfully

 

[Bilal7]

This is how they should keep batting. Aim for one boundary an over and then just take singles.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Anyone else feeling a wicket

 

[FreeBird]

Both are in Misbah mode.
We are already late in starting the slog.

 

[razabbas]

5 bonus runs

 

[Bullet Drive]

Yes that'll help

 

[Dr_Bassim]

You know frankly i would trust afridi in the last 5 then the last ten. So lets see where fawad is going here.

I wouldn't trust Afridi even if there was 1 run to win and 300 balls.

 

[aukhan]

5 wides.

 

[Square Drive]

5 wides!

 

[Haroon786]

5 wides.

 

[saiyan0312]

5 just what we needed now.

 

[jattafridi]

5 wides

 

[Mr Consistent]

poor ball 5wides

 

[GreenKnightRises]

5

 

[Moe]

Generous Mathews

 

[Bullet Drive]

31 off 27. Proper ODI batting.

 

[Barragan]

Free runs are always welcome.

 

[Justcrazy]

Not much dependable batting to come.

 

[saiyan0312]

I wouldn't trust Afridi even if there was 1 run to win and 300 balls.

Well neither would i but if i had to chose between him coming in when ten overs are left or 5 are left then i would chose 5,

 

[SAfridi]

This is how they should keep batting. Aim for one boundary
an over and then just take singles.

Totally Agree With You Mate

 

[Square Drive]

Anyone else feeling a wicket

I'm always feeling that when we're batting.

 

[aukhan]

I wouldn't trust Afridi even if there was 1 run to win and 300 balls.

Completely agree doc.

 

[Shafi]

5 Wides!!!!

 

[SAfridi]

31 off 27. Proper ODI batting.

I know right

 

[Saeed]

I think Fawad will hit out once the runs needed are below 60.

 

[saiyan0312]

These two at 3 and 4 would be very good. Atleast they are taking singles unlike soo many of our seniors.

 

[Mamoon]

Another match losing effort by Fawad unless Maqsood has other plans.

 

[Square Drive]

Dayum, looking to charge.

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Brainfreeze by maqsood

 

[SAfridi]

I'm always feeling that when we're batting.

Hahahahahaha !

 

[Square Drive]

Need a boundary to end the over.

 

[Justcrazy]

Required rate closing on nine now.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

All the Pakistani batsmen look frenetic while at the wicket.

You know something is gonna happen whenever they bat.

 

[Justcrazy]

No planning , poor batting.

 

[saiyan0312]

8 from the over there. RRR is 8.71

 

[Haroon786]

Maqsood needs to get a 100 here.

 

[Fastandfurious]

Maqsood bhai needs to stay calm. The next 40 runs are very important, still needs to learn the art of the chase from Inzi.

 

[Square Drive]

Would be great if these two can take us to 200.

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

There is something seriously wrong with our batting when we even cannot hit out a trundling mathews

 

[Fastandfurious]

Maqsood needs to get a 100 here.

50 comes first, if I'm not mistaken.

 

[coy0607]

Can't wait 'till Pakistan Women vs Australia Women starts. I'm pretty sure Pakistan Women's captain is more aggressive than Sir Misbah.

And then they said . . . . Fawad is a master of rotating the strike.

maybe not a master, but easily the best in this team

 

[jattafridi]

We need a big over come on boys

 

[CalculatedRisk]

How can Alam not make into such a pathetic batting order? At least he has an appetite to stick it out and make some runs.

 

[Square Drive]

Herath is back. Crucial moments.

 

[SAfridi]

Whooo

 

[razabbas]

What a ball

 

[Moe]

Easy easy Maqsood

 

[Square Drive]

Shoot, lifeline!

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Maqsood riding his luck.

4 runs.

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Sanga doing an Akmal there

 

[Mr Consistent]

stump chance missed

 

[aukhan]

Maqsood almost gone there...thanks to sanga he is saved.

 

[Square Drive]

Ooh.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Lucky escape for Maqsood

 

[saiyan0312]

massive blunder by kumar as that was a perfect ball for stumping.

 

[Haroon786]

Missed stumping, the 4 byes add insult to injury.

 

[SAfridi]

maybe not a master, but easily the best in this team

Yeah agree

 

[Square Drive]

Good start to the over in terms of runs...

 

[razabbas]

Easy easy Maqsood

One have to go for it and fawad isnt the one for sure

 

[Shafi]

Another gift from Sri Lanka!!!View attachment 48165 Byes

 

[Moe]

One have to go for it and fawad isnt the one for sure

Yeah but why attack Herath lulz?

 

[Square Drive]

8 runs off Herath's over will be great.

 

[ExplicitAI]

RRR is too high atm

 

[Mamoon]

He can only rotate the strike against Bangla bowlers.

 

[SAfridi]

Fawad 34*
