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

[JibranAnsari]

Shehzad desparately needs to work on his front foot and take help of his coach grant flower if his ego allows. Whenever he tries to go on his front foot he opens it up like abdul razzak. Awful technique

 

[ExplicitAI]

Now we're seeing something

 

[Bullet Drive]

As long as no wicket has fallen inside 10 overs, what is the issue?

 

[Justcrazy]

azhar

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

Why not play sami aslam or mukhtar instead of shehzad. He needs to be dropped when haris sohail comes back and i dont mind hafeez or babar azam opening!

frankly, i believe it is hafeez who should leave now, though his recent form has been decent.
believe me azhar ali and ahmed shahzad are set on opening, should have haris sohail on one down, sami aslam as a backup may be.
for 4,5 and 6 we can have m. rizwan, sohaib maqsood, mukhtar ahmed and may be an all rounder.

 

[Bashira_taeli]

Conditions tailor made for a Hafeez hundred :ahmed

 

[PCP_1]

On the plus side, the spectators are actually spectating this time.

 

[Mainul]

Both Shehzad and Azhar are doing a Shehzad here. Miserable run of dot balls

 

[Bullet Drive]

These two have basically saved Hafeez from getting a duck.

 

[Madplayer]

Ball is swinging and seaming just a bit and ahmad shehzad has looked out of sorts.

 

[Logical]

On the plus side, the spectators are actually spectating this time.

They will get bored soon.

 

[Bullet Drive]

3.30 RR is decent here.

 

[Logical]

Shehzad's career strike rate of 72 is embarrassing

 

[D/DAhmed]

Azhar is an awful, limited batsman. Doesn't deserve to be playing at this level despite his 50 average (Zimbabwe and Bangladesh)

 

[Madplayer]

Glenn Matthews 4 overs 3 runs 22 dot balls.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Deano on the legend! Love hearing him. Best commie.

 

[Dios]

What an exciting match going on here. Both Pakistani openers batting with a SR under 50 and Mathews opening the bowling for Lanka. What an exciting match-up.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Azhar is an awful, limited batsman. Doesn't deserve to be playing at this level despite his 50 average (Zimbabwe and Bangladesh)

And you are an awful poster.

 

[Madplayer]

Deano comes in, predicts a big shot, and ahmad attempts it.


LEGEND

 

[D/DAhmed]

3.30 RR is decent here.

Wow...

 

[Moe]

Look at Malcolm Mathews economy, Mah gawd.

 

[angrypathan]

 

[Bullet Drive]

SHOTTTT



So happy as long as no wicket has fallen in top 10, its fine.

 

[Madplayer]

: come on

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Shehzad doesnt deserve to open with azhar...! Mukhtar and azhar is good contrast! Even babar or hafeez should open with him

 

[Big Mac]

Hey guys, what's happening in he...

Oh, the usual whining. Forget I asked.

 

[Hamza_]

Just hate shehzads batting

 

[Bullet Drive]

This is a good start under cloudy conditions. Get through this one more over.

 

[ExplicitAI]

An angry shot )

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Run rate doesn't matter cos I don't see this SL side chasing big like Bangladesh (unless bowling is terrible).

If wickets are conserved and middle overs are played well....275 can be posted.

We too gave a great exhibition of class batting in Zimbabwe series recently.

 

[Madplayer]

Thisara hatrik perera comes in to bowl.

 

[angrypathan]

Malcolm perera to bowl

 

[wasimjunior]

These two have basically saved Hafeez from getting a duck.

Another pointless and baseless post from the analyst..

What did hafeez get last game?

 

[Bullet Drive]

Today will be Perera's day..........

 

[D/DAhmed]

We're gonna lose wickets to the Pathirana guy...

 

[Justcrazy]

32 / 0

9 overs

 

[angrypathan]

Four

 

[m.shah]

Aggressive azhar

 

[Moe]

Thisara Lee on

 

[Naim]

 

[Square Drive]

Decent start. Wickets are key.

Shehzad should get the next ODI regardless of what he does today, and if he still fails, then Mukhtar should come in for the 4th one-dayer.

 

[Madplayer]

Run rate doesn't matter cos I don't see this SL side chasing big like Bangladesh (unless bowling is terrible).

Its was an India C side

 

[Amjid Javed]

Need to pick up scoring rate now, its all good having a solid start but we also have to show some aggresion and intent.

36/0

 

[Naim]

this time from shazi

 

[angrypathan]

rekt

 

[Bullet Drive]

Beautiful stroke by Shehzad. When he's positive, he's unstoppable. Lovely shot.

 

[Square Drive]

Yesss,

 

[Amjid Javed]

Strike rotation from both openers needs to be better here.

 

[Madplayer]

Now shehzad opening up

 

[Naim]

another from shahzaad.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Shehzad looking set now. Good stuff. iA he can make a ton.

 

[angrypathan]

"He tries to be a fast bowler" deano you beauty ) "bowling at 127kph, I'd bowl that" )

 

[LegbreakGoogly]

Perera is Sl Anwar

 

[ExplicitAI]

He looks a lot better when he plays like that

 

[PCP_1]

Nice couple of shots by Shahzad. Coming into his own now.

 

[Bullet Drive]

LOL now people are gonna tell Shehzad to calm down

 

[Naim]

now shahzad is overdoing it

 

[angrypathan]

3rd of the over

 

[Madplayer]

Another

 

[D/DAhmed]

Either the ball has some sort of magnetic effect, or Shehzad has no placement whatsoever

 

[Bullet Drive]

Uh oh its pouring down.

But beautifully played by Ahmad.

Nobody can play the pull shot like him and Umar Akmal in Pakistan.

 

[Neferpitou]

Freaken Perera making Duck feet look good.

 

[PCP_1]

Shahzad only seems to score of ugly looking shots. The for the camera shots fo straight to the fielders.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Its was an India C side

But it was our future players (all of whom have good experience playing).

Got rescued by Rayudu/Binny and Jadhav/Pandey in 1st and 3rd ODI or we would have lost.

The quality of batting (barring those 2 partnerships) was soooo depressing that many Indians switched off their TV.

 

[Justcrazy]

44/ 0

10 overs

 

[Naim]

3 :4 in this over

 

[angrypathan]

Malinga

 

[Bullet Drive]

now shahzad is overdoing it

See I knew it.

Can never win.

 

[Madplayer]

Is it raining? ????

 

[Logical]

Here comes the fat mamba

 

[angrypathan]

Uh oh its pouring down.

But beautifully played by Ahmad.

Nobody can play the pull shot like him and Umar Akmal in Pakistan.

Hafeez looks pretty good playing it too i reckon

 

[D/DAhmed]

Azhar is a walking wicket

 

[Square Drive]

Amazing hitting by Shehzad! That's the thing about him - he always makes up by hitting after a slow start.

 

[ExplicitAI]

He's compensated for those dots

 

[Naim]

44/0 in 10 overs. decent start from pakistan

 

[Bullet Drive]

Good start by Shehzad.

24 off 31.

Everybody getting owned on here as usual.

RR is fine.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Looks like we ae just going to deal in boundaries.

 

[PCP_1]

Malinga to bobble up to the crease now.

 

[angrypathan]

Freeeeeeee hittt

 

[Madplayer]

Its raining very hard.

No ball free hit time
