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

[Big Mac]

Not in Australiaaaaa

Makes sense, a country of convicts committing crimes against the greatest of foodstuffs should not come as a surprise.

Goddammit Shezhad, that was Umar Akmal levels of stupid.

 

[Yatoo]

He is not umar akmal.

Akmal does it on 50's. Takes his helmet out as well. Maybe he gets confused by numbers.

 

[King Meer]

Did not wanted Ahmad Shehzadin the playing eleven but hes always there. I think we need a more agressive opener.

 

[taqi]

here you go Shehzad

 

[Theo_14]

Shehzad is garbage man - can't rotate strike. Even commentator read his mind.

 

[BleedGreen]

Selfie gone

 

[D/DAhmed]

You guys worry about SR way too much. Look at the overall score. For openers SR isn't that important. Its middle order bats. These two are playing well so far.

How on earth is openers strike rate not important? The strike rate of the openers pretty much determines the pace and score of your innings. Every country has openers who have good strike rates except Pakistan and Zimbabwe.

And as I speak, Pathirana cleans up the filth

 

[Logical]

Ahmed Shehzad has zero single taking ability.

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

Still am glad he was more aggressive, even if he got out. No point sticking around and scoring slowly at this stage .

 

[uberkoen]

What pathetic shot selection.

What was the point of slog sweeping at this point in the game?

Absurd.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Shehzads dismissal reminded me of bradman. Wow he is probably the greatest opener in the world. I just love the way he rotates strike and never finds the fielders

 

[Square Drive]

And there he goes :/

 

[Farhansk]

Are you sure ?

 

[Shafi]

Shehzad as usual threw his wicket

 

[uberkoen]

Hafeez taking his time to walk down to the pitch.

 

[11ShadyBrothers]

Yeah. Azhar ali was blazing sixes right?

 

[angrypathan]

Deano grilling Shehzad

 

[BleedGreen]

Conditions se yehi lagta hai ke slow and steady chalo. Score 260-270+ and defend

 

[King Meer]

As expected Shehzad has been bowled

 

[PCP_1]

Genius

I should be getting paid for this.

 

[11ShadyBrothers]

Ahmed Shehzad has zero single taking ability.

But our other openers have?

 

[Stallion__]

If he survive new ball, he is bound to get out against left-arm spin

 

[Markhor]

Shehzad gifting his wicket away, terrible shot.

 

[Mir jibran]

Ahmed shahzad's career is coming to an end

 

[Bullet Drive]

SO WEIRD. Usually every time he was set he'd go on to make a big one.

 

[Big Mac]

Actually, it doesn't. Wickets in hand has a better correlation with the final total than whether you score quickly in the first ten overs.

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

The best openers have good strike rates - cant think of any that strike in the low 70s in the last 10-15 years.

 

[Shafi]

BD is only 10 points behind to be no. 4 ODI team. SA choking under pressure as usual

 

[marlonbrowndo]

But our other openers have?

Stop defending shehzad hes a hack. People like you with no cricketing knowledge support this guy when hafeez has a higher average in matches they play together. Azhar, sami, babar, mukhtar hell even hafeez is much better than this guy

 

[Theo_14]

SO WEIRD. Usually every time he was set he'd go on to make a big one.

That's what you call a finished player. No one takes him seriously on PP anymore apart from you. No one on PP takes your posts of Shehzad seriously either, other then yourself.

 

[Man Of Steel]

I am gonna obliterate all of you with laser beam, Why won't you welcome your savior?

 

[11ShadyBrothers]

Stop defending shehzad hes a hack. People like you with no cricketing knowledge support this guy when hafeez has a higher average in matches they play together. Azhar, sami, babar, mukhtar hell even hafeez is much better than this guy

Yeah. Enlighten us how azhar ali or sami aslam are better than shehzad? Speaking out of your behind as usual.

 

[King Meer]

Still Azher is better then him. At least someone has to be there to anker the inning.

 

[uberkoen]

I think I may need to visit Sri Lanka. It's beautiful.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Pradeep is so good. Forget all the averages etc.

Bowls 145 kph. Outswing, seams it in. Has a yorker and a superb bouncer.

 

[Madplayer]

BD is only 10 points behind to be no. 4 ODI team. SA choking under pressure as usual

What a day it would be. BD at 4

 

[Logical]

But our other openers have?

Which other openers ?

Shehzad has career SR of 72. That's ridiculously low.

 

[angrypathan]

What was that from hafeez?

 

[Neferpitou]

Great day for me so far. Duck feet gone.

 

[11ShadyBrothers]

Which other openers ?

Shehzad has career SR of 72. That's ridiculously low.

Our other openers have above 90 sr?

 

[Farhansk]

Stop defending shehzad hes a hack. People like you with no cricketing knowledge support this guy when hafeez has a higher average in matches they play together. Azhar, sami, babar, mukhtar hell even hafeez is much better than this guy

Yes pretty much

 

[Yatoo]

I am gonna obliterate all of you with laser beam, Why won't you welcome your savior?

Match is tense. (boring)

 

[Bullet Drive]

These two need to just get to 150 together by 30th.

 

[angrypathan]

Pradeep is so good. Forget all the averages etc.

Bowls 145 kph. Outswing, seams it in. Has a yorker and a superb bouncer.

Sounds like Sami. Average can't be ignored, he needs to take wickets.

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

Yeah. Enlighten us how azhar ali or sami aslam are better than shehzad? Speaking out of your behind as usual.

Azhar has played only 22-23 matches but he has a great average and a better career strike rate.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Wahab riaz is a better batsman than shehzad atleast his batting has won us a game

 

[Moe]

Can your AB do that?

 

[uberkoen]

Quick singles are in order.

 

[m.shah]

Another 30 for shezzi

 

[Bullet Drive]

Good start for Pakistan...... even Russel is saying it.

 

[angrypathan]

[11ShadyBrothers]

Azhar has played only 22-23 matches but he has a great average and a better career strike rate.

Let me play 6 matches on the trot against bangladesh and Zimbawbee in my 22-23 matches and i will show you my SR and average.

 

[Madplayer]

Hafeez showing who the boss is

:

 

[Neferpitou]

Minnows should start a protest against Hafeez.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Superb shot. Hafeez vs spin is a delight.

 

[Logical]

Our other openers have above 90 sr?

So the benchmark is 90 all of a sudden? Shehzad compared to any other batsmen gets bogged down far too often. He has shots but he'd make life a lot easier for himself if got off the strike more.

 

[Theo_14]

Shehzad is a good player, but truth is since his head injury he has been out of form and looks to have declined. Needs to expose himself to county level cricket in UK.

 

[D/DAhmed]

Pradeep is so good. Forget all the averages etc.

Bowls 145 kph. Outswing, seams it in. Has a yorker and a superb bouncer.

You know who else has all that? Mohammad Sami.

 

[Yatoo]

:Misbah

Its an issue with all our openers.

 

[angrypathan]

The same Bangladesh which is now beating even South Africa. Zimbabwe i agree have a poor bowling attack

 

[shah_1]

Bebar sherr batting ..SIX

 

[King Meer]

Actually, it doesn't. Wickets in hand has a better correlation with the final total than whether you score quickly in the first ten overs.

Wickets will not be for long in your hand if you have scored like only 60 -70 runs in first 20 overs

 

[Moe]

Hafeez going after Lala's record for most sixes. Just 293 more left.

 

[11ShadyBrothers]

The same Bangladesh which is now beating even South Africa. Zimbabwe i agree have a poor bowling attack

There was no mustafizr against us.

You calling Sri Lanka minnows?

 

[Theo_14]

Relax why are you getting personal?

Just enjoy the game

With you its banter - you know that since your from the 2010 era, other poster quotes me like I knew he even existed on PP lol.

Ps - when you playing against Sadaf?

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Let me play 6 matches on the trot against bangladesh and Zimbawbee in my 22-23 matches and i will show you my SR and average.

Dont talk about bangladesh and zimbabwe. That amazing innings shehzad played against bangladesh in the t20 shoukd be fresh in your mind. Also even a team like south africa is struggling at bangladesh. Wonder what argument you come up with to supports shehzad now who is the worst opener out of all test playing nations.

 

[D/DAhmed]

Yes, please do. I'm sure you have played tests in England and ODI's against Sri Lanka and India as well. I'm also quite certain that RUbel, Taskin and Mortaza won't be demolishing your stumps with the first ball you face in each innings.

 

[Bullet Drive]

72-1

Awesome start. Just keep going. Forget RR for a while.

 

[Madplayer]

There was no mustafizr against us.

Well SA dont have taskin bowling as well

What has this all even to do with discussion. Come up with logic. This flawed rhetoric is doing no good.

After Eid sometime iA

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Finally the game is entertaining now that shehzad is out

 

[#GreenRoars]

People should discuss on match rather than discussing each other.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Calm down guys.

Shehzad isn't going to do anything. What happ to Mukhtar Ahmed guy? Or Sami Aslam? They can be tried instead of selfie.

And how did Hafeez discover this beast inside him?

 

[D/DAhmed]

If you have nothing to offer which is useful, please stop quoting my posts.

What do your posts have to offer? Love for one of the most mediocre openers ever to grace the cricket field? All I've ever seen you do is criticize players who are actually performing and show support for players who have no talent, no technique and no desire to improve.

 

[uberkoen]

South Africa are rather mediocre without AB.
