Sri Lanka v Pakistan | 2nd ODI | Jul 15, 2015 | Pallekele | Pakistan Innings

[Yatoo]

That shoulda been a ton for Malik.

Missed by only half way mark.

 

[Ahson8]

malik showed his true color

WTH man, that was a very good innings, atleast give credit where due.

 

[BleedGreen]

we should get 100 runs in the remaining 13 overs

 

[Bullet Drive]

181-4. Crucial period. With Malik at the crease, we coulda actually made 300 tbh.

But now I think 260. Still match winning!

 

[ExplicitAI]

If Azhar reaches his 100, he should choose to have a mindset of crash,bang and wallop

 

[Square Drive]

IMO SL should bring Siriwardene on now.

 

[Bullet Drive]

YES deano is on.

 

[Pete Rose]

Ramiz the abomination is back: this game is about momentum and aggressively challenging.

 

[#GreenRoars]

What's a good score on this pitch? 275?

240 highest chase. 245 avg.

 

[uberkoen]

It's interesting to watch Azhar Ali's battle against spin bowlers.

 

[Bullet Drive]

This is NOT Rizwans game. Ramiz knows nothing.

 

[LegbreakGoogly]

Rizwan need to perform here. . .

 

[Yatoo]

Number 6 batsmen should he such that he should he able to keep a 100% strike rate from ball one.

 

[m.shah]

Time for asar prayers hopefully these two will be playing after that

 

[angrypathan]

 

[Bullet Drive]

Ramiz has fed Deano with rubbish. Rizwan doesnt 'hit it everywhere'

 

[ExplicitAI]

Rizwan must be busy at this stage.

 

[ExplicitAI]

handy

 

[Yatoo]

We need azhar till 45 over.

 

[Neferpitou]

Ramiz has fed Deano with rubbish. Rizwan doesnt 'hit it everywhere'

This is why I hate Ramiz.

 

[Stallion__]

Azhar looks ugly and lethargic but he is saving one end nonetheless.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Rizwan should play in top order or not play at all. Waste of talent.

 

[ExplicitAI]

Sounds like the chorus lyrics to one of them teeny bop songs.

Only just saw this, rap/hip-hop is my favorite genre. The Weeknd and Drake is my cup of tea

 

[Bullet Drive]

Rizwan's beard game is STRONGGGGGG

 

[wasimjunior]

That's why averages are so deceiving. Misbah averages 43. Malik 33. But Malik clearly is the WAY WAY better ODI batsman.

This is a joke post even by your standards

Malik has done well and I want him to succeed as I support the team and not individual players, unlike you.

Difference is I don't think he should have been given another chance. Fact he is making the most of it is well done to him. But seriously posts such as those quoted above are why nobody takes you seriously

 

[Yatoo]

Rizzu playing at wrong position.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Rizwan is a bit unbalanced at the wicket, but he's a magnifiecent bat.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Captain needs to bat through till end of inns here if we are to get a really competative score.

 

[uberkoen]

I remember Azhar Ali Carrying bat through the completed innings against Sri Lanka in 2012.

This man knows the value of his wicket. It's good to see he doesn't give it away cheaply.

 

[Naim]

rizwan bat speed is really fast

 

[Yatoo]

Drop shehzad. Open with Hafeez. Bring Rizwan at 3. Play Mukhtar at 6

 

[Fahdi]

Why is Azhar so tentative against spin. I can recall 5 deliveries that I bet he can put away in his sleep yet today he has made a mess of them.

 

[Bullet Drive]

We have NO big hitters in this team right now. Number 6 position is bad.

 

[ExplicitAI]

Azhar's leading by example today

 

[Pete Rose]

Azhar playing a but aggressively to give Rizwan some space.

 

[angrypathan]

long hop should have been put away

 

[Bullet Drive]

Absolute terrible terrible shot by Azhar. Worst time to go. WHY!!!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!

 

[#GreenRoars]

What was Azhar doing?

 

[angrypathan]

out, sigh

 

[Amjid Javed]

Rizwan just needs to roatte strike for now and let a partnership build and we can be aggresive then for final 6-7 overs. we cant afford any more wickets down here as inns will stagnate.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Shoulda had an easy ton!

 

[Pete Rose]

Lost his century.

 

[ExplicitAI]

Perished!

 

[Stallion__]

Azhar tried to utilize these last few deliveries to maximum before last 10 overs......

Couldn't execute

 

[Asif321]

Anwar to play yet another match winning inning

 

[Bullet Drive]

Sarf in nowwwww!!! love his attitude... but big hitting vs pace?? Not his game

 

[Fahdi]

A silly way to get out

 

[LegbreakGoogly]

Good innings by Captain. . . . Tries his best

 

[Pete Rose]

This will be a fun ten overs.

 

[uberkoen]

Spin bowling becomes the undoing of Azhar Ali. Frustration led to him hitting it up in the air.

 

[BleedGreen]

pathetic innings from azhar. neither did he bat out the overs, he was so slow making his 70s. 104 balls.

 

[ExplicitAI]

How can Rameez say that about Azhar? He's hit sixes with ease before, it just wasn't a good shot.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Sound has gone for me.....

 

[Justcrazy]

250 will be good total.

 

[Pakcricket89]

such a poor shot to get out from captain

 

[Bullet Drive]

And its back!

 

[Pete Rose]

Sound has gone for me.....

Same here.

 

[Bullet Drive]

We need 270. Doubt we will get it.

I said earlier, our number 6 and 7 is a big big issue.

 

[Fahdi]

Never seen him play a slog sweep before. Why would he attempt one now?

 

[uberkoen]

Power play time.

 

[ExplicitAI]

I kinda miss Afridi and Razzaq at this stage

 

[Bullet Drive]

SHOT of the day!!!!

by Rizwan beauty.

 

[Justcrazy]

Malik wicket was critical.

 

[angrypathan]

SHOT from Rizwan

 

[walashi]

 

[Fahdi]

Shot by Rizwan!

:4

 

[Asif321]

too much talent on crease for pakistan now

 

[Pete Rose]

I kinda miss Afridi and Razzaq at this stage

That was ten years ago. Almost forgotten for me.

 

[ExplicitAI]

meaty

 

[uberkoen]

Well driven

 

[ExplicitAI]

That was ten years ago. Almost forgotten for me.

Yeah but still..

 

[Justcrazy]

Two wk at crease.

 

[Markhor]

Soft wicket, understood Azhar's intention but no need for that, needed a ton from him.

Sloppy misfield and four. Come on Rizwan and Sarfraz. The wicketkeeper's union.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Ramiz is lying.

Rizwan doesn't bat at 6/7.

 

[Zeshan547]

Let's see how capable our no. 6 and 7 are when it comes to big hitting vs pace, don't think both of these have in them to do this role. Let's see can they prove me wrong. Need atleast 80 in last ten. Both of these have full ten overs to bat.

 

[angrypathan]

good running

 

[Amjid Javed]

Last two recognised batsmen at the crease now we need a partnership here otherwise will end up with a poor overall score compared to what we should have really got with platform we had to build on.

208/5 after 41

 

[Pakcricket89]

On the other hand rain is saving SA from Bangladesh

 

[angrypathan]

Ramiz is lying.

Rizwan doesn't bat at 6/7.

Doesn't he open in domestic?

 

[daytrader]

We need a power hitter at this phase of the innings. Maqsood in this situation would be ideal.
