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

[Bullet Drive]

8 an over.

 

[lameduck]

Has Malinga completely lost it now? Fitness gone, Pace gone.

 

[Saeed]

TTF Younis hamper the balance in the middle order.

Almost half of the team is TTF. Hafeez, Younis, Misbah and Afridi, all should be kicked out.

 

[Haroon786]

Nice SR from Fawad.

 

[uberkoen]

What the hell is up with Fawad?

 

[razabbas]

This game is already gone fawad cant slog all pressure on maqsood

 

[Madplayer]

God save fawad from a yorker.

 

[saiyan0312]

Slow yorkers by malinga.

 

[mosh101]

It's because of the one bad apple that's Younus. Can't believe Sharjeel/Zulfiqar were sitting out for this mediocre, pathetic, garbage ODI cricketer.

Mediocrity is flowing right from the top i.e our captain !

 

[Bullet Drive]

Dean Jones impressed with Fawad.

 

[Chickenkorma]

fawad is not pretty to watch

 

[ammar93]

Fawad needs to get his SR up. There just isn't enough time left to waste deliveries.

 

[ExplicitAI]

It's a T20 from here on out

 

[Dr_Bassim]

I am acutally starting to believe Mamoon has a point about Fawad

 

[saiyan0312]

RRR 8.14... Fawad struggling and he seriously needs to start hitting.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Maqsood is a natural batsman. A natural number 3 who is made to bat at 7 due to selfish YK.

 

[mosh101]

Maqsood cool as cucumber

 

[Bullet Drive]

Chill Fawad knows what he's doing.

 

[96NotOut]

Whatever happens please bench YK for the next game, Misbah. Please...!

 

[Chickenkorma]

will pakistan win anything on this tour?

 

[saiyan0312]

Thisara perera to bowl. great. fifer time.

 

[Mamoon]

I am acutally starting to believe Mamoon has a point about Fawad

Bowl to him into the bats and bounce him out, he's done. Our domestic bowlers are too thick to realize that.

 

[junaid.ahmed]

apni munchen dekh or apni batting dekh
biggest contrast of the world

 

[Donal Cozzie]

I said Fawad and Misbah together would kill the chase.

You cannot have two slow batters in the middle order.

No other team in the world does it as far as I'm aware

 

[Square Drive]

Mediocrity is flowing right from the top i.e our captain !

Obviously, he's the smart one that decided to include Sir YK.

 

[saiyan0312]

Our inability to hit 130 trundlers is shocking to the core.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Maqsood's timing is impecable.

 

[Bilal7]

I predict some heavy Boom Boom later this evening.

 

[Square Drive]

Yes Fawad!

 

[GreenKnightRises]

An Ugly four .Still Runs matter

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Fawad slogging and clearing the 30 year circle after one bounce.. and ball trickling to the boundary.

Beauty.

 

[uberkoen]

Fawad

 

[ExplicitAI]

 

[Haroon786]

Inzi comparisons galore with Maqsood.

 

[saiyan0312]

smacked it on the legside for a hit.

Fawad has such a great first class career.

 

[Saeed]

Have they taken the batting powerplay?

 

[Shafi]

 

[uberkoen]

Sri Lanka were 118-4 at this stage. We need Afridi to do his magic.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Fawad knows he has to stay there.

Very good.

 

[Bilal7]

Why is Inzi 2.0 batting down at #6? Such a classy batsmen should play at #3 and Hafeez should bat at #6. Can't wait for when that finally happens.

 

[Square Drive]

If only we had youngsters batting together for every wicket.

Kick out Younus right now, and Misbah right after the WC, and you'll see the rise of Pakistan.

 

[saiyan0312]

7 from the over. RRR at 8.22 .

 

[uberkoen]

[SUP][/SUP]

Have they taken the batting powerplay?

Nope

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Why is Inzi 2.0 batting down at #6? Such a classy batsmen should play at #3 and Hafeez should bat at #6. Can't wait for when that finally happens.

It's because he plays too many aerial shots to be a natural number 3.

 

[Square Drive]

If only captain fantastic didn't lose his brain.

 

[Shafi]

Weak batting links: Hafeez, Younis and Misbah (recently)

 

[saiyan0312]

These two at 3 and 4 would be good at making runs.

 

[uberkoen]

Weak batting links: Hafeez, Younis and Misbah (recently)

Junaid

 

[Square Drive]

Fawad's 'stash and hair look very bad.

 

[Saeed]

Why is Inzi 2.0 batting down at #6? Such a classy batsmen should play at #3 and Hafeez should bat at #6. Can't wait for when that finally happens.

For that to happen, Misbah has to kick out Younis but that seems unlikely.

 

[Haroon786]

Shezhad should be axed after this game.

 

[Mamoon]

Silly Point must be enjoying Fawad's masterclass.

 

[saiyan0312]

Fawad has massive problems with the low full toss.

 

[Square Drive]

Crisp shot, single.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Im fine with Fawad batting like this... cuz he's shown to win us games in the past.

 

[Saeed]

Weak batting links: Hafeez, Younis and Misbah (recently)

You forget the biggest one, Afridi. When he is playing we are already down with one player.

 

[mosh101]

Obviously, he's the smart one that decided to include Sir YK.

Exactly my point !

 

[Bullet Drive]

Our youngsters are so talented mashallah

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Shezhad should be axed after this game.

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

Good thinking.

 

[Square Drive]

Shezhad should be axed after this game.

Why? For scoring 49? Sure, let's have Farhat instead. He will have a very good future along with Younus.

 

[saiyan0312]

146 required from 103 balls. hitting both of you!!

 

[Bullet Drive]

14 off 15 for Maqsood and hardly a risky shot.

 

[Justcrazy]

Cricinfo not working

 

[Square Drive]

Exactly my point !

Yup, and I wasn't being sarcastic.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Was always right about U.Akmal, Shehzad & Wahab.

Which player am I wrong about?

 

[mosh101]

Misbah, YK & Fawad !

Only team pakistan can afford to play all three in the same line up !

 

[Haroon786]

Malinga still has 5 overs left.

 

[Square Drive]

Need to attack Trundlera Perera.

 

[Shafi]

Younis really deserve B catagory!!! 1 Good innings in a series by luck.

 

[Mamoon]

Fawad is not a batsman, its blatantly clear to anyone who understands the game.

 

[Square Drive]

Was always right about U.Akmal, Shehzad & Wahab.

Which player am I wrong about?

Bullet Drive > Misbah.

 

[lameduck]

Cricinfo not working

Watch Live

 

[jusarrived]

I normally skip Paks batting , except when Fawad comes out .

Pure entertainment

 

[Bullet Drive]

130-5.

 

[Justcrazy]

Tough task for pakistan .

 

[Fastandfurious]

Fawad is not a batsman, its blatantly clear to anyone who understands the game.

We know, he is an artist. Don't be jealous.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Was always right about U.Akmal, Shehzad & Wahab.

Which player am I wrong about?

No you call them ATG and future greats, out of which one doesn't have a brain, one doesn't have the technique and one doesn't have the direction.

They are good players for Pakitan all of them agreed.

 

[jusarrived]

Our youngsters are so talented mashallah

even if they are , you do your best to Jinx them

 

[Bullet Drive]

Shehzad played superbly.

 

[The intelligent Supporter]

Fawad's batting stance is a Big NO NO...if you are up against malinga

I relly feel Malinga can very eaily slide down to a yorker between that open stance and Off stump also fully exposed...
