[saiyan0312]

Somebody tell arnold it could be to give irfan a rest and not use him.

 

[Justcrazy]

Slowly but surely these two bringing Lanka on tracks

 

[Mir jibran]

Just hope he does play Australia or the wc.

then he should score a 100 n 50 in this series

 

[UpInTheAir]

Pressure has been released runs leaking here and there

Exactly. Pakistan were actually in a good position and shouldve put on Junaid instead of the spinners, which sri Lanka play with ease.

[MENTION=129948]Bilal7[/MENTION] this is 2014 mate.

 

[ExplicitAI]

Really need another wicket here

 

[UpInTheAir]

Being saved for last 10 overs.

Atleast two overs when mathews was new at the crease would have been good. He's settled now and these two are looking to score.

Just a single , good over by

[Mr Consistent]

four

[world cup captain]

Once again a quality selection from Misbah

I think it was obvious that PCB wanted Younis to play so why blame Misbah?

 

[Justcrazy]

matthews

 

[Haroon786]

Boundaries are tiny.

 

[Swanny]

Shehzad taking fielding lessons from Kohli

 

[ExplicitAI]

Would be a good idea to bring in Junaid at this stage

 

[Bilal7]

3 spinners

[MENTION=129948]Bilal7[/MENTION] this is 2014 mate.

You don't know nothing bout spinners, Kiwi. These guys are not your "spinners". FYI, spinners have become more and more important as the years have gone by.

 

[Justcrazy]

158 / 4

34 overs

 

[Haroon786]

Afridi shouldn't be bowling in the PP.

 

[Aman]

Please, play 3 spinners in Aus and NZ. Please

 

[ExplicitAI]

 

[Haroon786]

Pies from Afridi.

 

[ExplicitAI]

What great form Matthews is in

 

[Bilal7]

Missing Ajmal big time is Pakistan. Lol at people asking him to be benched permanently.

 

[aukhan]

Afridi leaking runs.

 

[Fastandfurious]

Yes, let the world know how great Pakistani spinners are.

 

[Justcrazy]

Matthews

 

[GreenKnightRises]

. Lala is becoming too valuable for the opposition Team

 

[ExplicitAI]

That's another boundary.

 

[Haroon786]

Garbage again.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Lala On Fire :AAG

 

[aukhan]

Afridi throwing pies here another 4.

 

[world cup captain]

Please, play 3 spinners in Aus and NZ. Please

To be honest if Ajmal can somehow play we might play 3 spinners in the WC.

 

[Justcrazy]

needs to get things right here.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

What a waste of spot in the ODI's

 

[Zaad]

i don't know if srilanka ends up scoring 235+ it will be too much to handle for Pakistan

 

[Haroon786]

I was like always, right again.

170 / 4

35 overs

 

[world cup captain]

Irfan comes back!

 

[Bilal7]

Please, play 3 spinners in Aus and NZ. Please

Ajmal just broke all-time records in South Africa and he'll be the best ODI bowler even on Mars. Hafeez and Afridi can be trusted to keep things tight if the pacers and Ajmal keep taking wickets.

Plus, Hammad and Ehsan are both quite capable bowlers, the latter is a frontline bowler infact. There are potentially six proper bowlers in my line-up.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Everyone complained a 10 run over from a part timer . Now its 12 from a specialist bowler .

Really Ugly and backward tactics from Kaptaan

 

[ExplicitAI]

Mahela to overtake Inzy easily.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

How is the pitch? Pak batting looks strong after the inclusion of younis.

 

[Bilal7]

Yes, let the world know how great Pakistani spinners are.

Think everyone with half a brain knows that already. You're not on that list though.

 

[ExplicitAI]

Omg Irfan is such a poor bowler during the later stage of the game, otherwise he's excellent during his opening spells.

 

[Justcrazy]

Irfan back , for another spell here

 

[Haroon786]

70 odd mph from Irfan.

 

[aukhan]

Good delivery by irfan.

 

[ExplicitAI]

What a good ball that was

 

[Bilal7]

Flat. Some very good new ball bowling at the start restricted Lanka here.

 

[ExplicitAI]

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Misbah selects the playing XI .

 

[AnasK]

Last over for Irfan! Now, Junaid and Wahab need to really do well in death overs... No Ajmal in PP could be a big trouble... Having him give us great advantage of having 6 specialists.

 

[UpInTheAir]

Random thought but, does hafeez ever remind you of that one kid in the neighborhood who always wanted first bat and first over??

[ExplicitAI]

You have to appreciate Pakistani fast bowlers in the sense that they use angles for their bowling when they're unable to swing the ball.

 

[Bilal7]

Omg Irfan is such a poor bowler during the later stage of the game, otherwise he's excellent during his opening spells.

Such fickle fans. He's bowling decently to set batsmen on a flat pitch.

 

[Haroon786]

250 is a surety here.

 

[Justcrazy]

Partnership 100 runs

Yes, especially when he was captain. Seems a nice guy off the field though.

He reminds me of a popular kid from a group of friends that would have a say in everything and would get what he wants easily. He's got that aura about him.

I know now, can I be on the list now please?

Juni on now

What a ball !!

 

[Aman]

Plus, Hammad and Ehsan are both quite capable bowlers, the latter is a frontline bowler infact. There are potentially six proper bowlers in my line-up.

So both Junaid and Irfan sit out or are you going to play 7 bowlers? (Ajmal, Afridi, Hafeez, Ehsan, Hammad, Junaid and Irfan).

Packing your team with bits and piece cricketers isn't going to get you far.

 

[ExplicitAI]

Junaid needs to rattle those stumps, this stage of the game is ideal for him.
