Sri Lanka v Pakistan | 2nd ODI | Pallekele | Sri Lanka won by 2 wickets

[UpInTheAir]

They change ends in the same game? If not then can't any damages be fixed till the next fixture?

Lol each over. Batsmen stay where they are , bowlers change ends.

 

[zabalestmsm]

Come on! We can win!

 

[PCP_1]

Poor Waqar, his beard has gone white since he took this job. Just like Obamas hair.

 

[zabalestmsm]

Cant believe we lost it .

Its not over mate!

 

[Pakcricket89]

easy win for Lanka, well fought PAk fielders

 

[MSaad1237]

Come on! We can win!

No we can't , we need a miracle to pull this off from here.

 

[Madplayer]

They chamge ends after every over

 

[Asif321]

mallik

 

[hadi123]

Malik is a good decision.

 

[Madplayer]

Can malik do the magic. get a slip in

 

[Madplayer]

Poor field placements. Very very poor field placements

 

[UpInTheAir]

Dumb feild setting... What will such a defensive feild achieve now?

 

[PCP_1]

Lol each over. Batsmen stay where they are , bowlers change ends.

Yes but how does that affect anything. The over running is just a couple of steps in front of the crease at the most. Almost all balls land after that point.

 

[badsha001]

2 many easy singles being given away...

 

[Watsupdoc]

Why has Malik been brought on now? baffling captaincy...

 

[TheNightWatchman]

Shoaib Malik bowling. Horrible negative captaincy but hopefully he gets a wicket and I eat my words

 

[Man Of Steel]

Thank goodness I didn't watch even 1 over today, glad I'm not disappointed.

 

[MSaad1237]

Rubbish stuff!

Poor Captaincy, Misbah was 1000 times better.

 

[UpInTheAir]

Yes but how does that affect anything. The over running is just a couple of steps in front of the crease at the most. Almost all balls land after that point.

That's why it usually doesn't happen and there's a danger zone.

 

[PCP_1]

They chamge ends after every over

Vertically or horizontally?

 

[Neferpitou]

Azhar is absolute trash. Never seen such stupid captaincy.

 

[TheNightWatchman]

Is Pakistan lacking in the bowling department so much that they have to rely on Shoaib Malik to get a wicket

 

[Madplayer]

Captaincy has been strange. Can say bad as a whole. Just that field placements have been very poor azhar was great last game. But back to being poor this match.

See edge and no slips. What is azhar doing? Is he trying to contain SL? pathetic

 

[uberkoen]

No slip and it goes for a four.

 

[Neferpitou]

Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd no slip. Well done Azhar.

 

[Man Of Steel]

Equally negative batting from SL, finish it off.

 

[Asif321]

stupid azhar

 

[Neferpitou]

I told you guys we were gonna lose this cuz of this trash captain.

 

[Adil_94]

Pathetic captaincy. Azhar and Mathews trying to have a competition to see who is the worst tactician.

 

[TheNightWatchman]

159-5 Azhar should have gone for the kill. Ridiculous from him

 

[MRSN]

Awful captaincy.

 

[Madplayer]

Vertically or horizontally?

The batsmen stay where they are. The bowlers change ends.

 

[Neferpitou]

Now he puts a slip mashaAllah.

 

[Watsupdoc]

This has been very ordinary captaincy.

 

[ExplicitAI]

Azhar's inexperience is showing

 

[TheNightWatchman]

When are the PCB gonna realise that a good batsman does not necessarily equate to a good captain

 

[Adil_94]

Imagine an ODI tries series with Cook Azhar and Mathews as captains.

 

[MSaad1237]

We would have never lost this match under Misbah's captaincy

#Fact.

 

[shah_1]

Pathetic captaincy **************************

 

[PCP_1]

That's why it usually doesn't happen and there's a danger zone.

Yeah thats why I find it a bit silly.

 

[Neferpitou]

Lol he's still trying to save runs.

 

[Madplayer]

Is azhar trying to contain SL? what rubbish is this

 

[shah_1]

He was trying to defend a grand total of 21 runs in 7 overs LOL

 

[Neferpitou]

Is azhar trying to contain SL? what rubbish is this

You just noticed? He's been doing that the whole game.

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

Not sure why Waqar hasn't tried to send out a message earlier. Maybe because Waqar wasn't a great captain either.

 

[shah_1]

One of the worst

 

[Adil_94]

Azhar following the ball rather than being pro-active. We just let Lankans milk singles and released the pressure. After that Kusal cameo we were always chasing the game. Attacking was the only way we could win.

 

[Madplayer]

Seems azhar too is a reactive captain. Not proactive.

 

[Man Of Steel]

AA is a pathetic captain captain to say the least.

 

[shah_1]

Azhar in the whole innings tried to contain runs

 

[ahanank]

Even Misbah wasn't that defensive.

 

[Mystrey]

We would have never lost this match under Misbah's captaincy

#Fact.

This match would have been over long ago as we would have crashed around 200 and SL would have won easily

 

[PCP_1]

We don't have bowlers who can finish the job anymore. Before if a team was 5 doen against us requiring 100 to win it was a certain win.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Absolute lunacy. Questions need to be raised as to his captaincy credentials following this.

 

[Madplayer]

Even commentators saying azhar certainly not trying to get the batsman out. Risk free cricket. Poor captaincy.

 

[Adil_94]

Azhar still being pathetic. Field placings like its Day one of a test match.

 

[Asif321]

sad

 

[Shafi]

Irfan is worse than even Anwar Ali. He gets wicket due to his height and hype

 

[Logical]

Azhar still trying to defend this

 

[Adil_94]

Very poor captaincy.

 

[shah_1]

Azhar needs to learn otherwise this type of negative approach can't continue

 

[Yatoo]

How? How? How did we loose this? I don't have words to describe how I feel. 287. And still?

 

[Madplayer]

Atleast fielding has been good

 

[TheNightWatchman]

Even Misbah wasn't that defensive.

Misbah wasn't as defensive as people make him out to be. Maybe in his batting but his tactics were almost always on point. His success as captain in the test arena i testimony to that

 

[JibranAnsari]

What are fielders doing in the deep?

 

[PCP_1]

Absolute lunacy. Questions need to be raised as to his captaincy credentials following this.

I think we shouldnt go all out attacking and let him learn from his mistakes for a while.

 

[Adil_94]

Hopefully Azhar learns his lesson from this garbage performance as captain.

 

[hadi123]

easy singles again

 

[TheNightWatchman]

How? How? How did we loose this? I don't have words to describe how I feel. 287. And still?

Not only that but SL were 159-5

 

[UpInTheAir]

Slow suffering.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Some pathetic captaincy by azhar.

 

[ahanank]

This match would have been over long ago as we would have crashed around 200 and SL would have won easily

We would have defended it.

 

[hadi123]

Ducking pathetic

 

[Neferpitou]

Still trying to save runs lolol. )

 

[Madplayer]

Singles . easy singles. Giving the match away on a platter.

 

[Adil_94]

Azhar making Misbah look like McCullum and Clarke's lovechild.

 

[TheNightWatchman]

As soon as SL started attacking in the second over AA panicked and still hasn't recovered

 

[Man Of Steel]

Get the field in!

 

[Yatoo]

Not only that but SL were 159-5

We don't have bowlers to do the job. Yasir is not a strike bowler in ODI's. Anwar Ali is not a wicket taker.
We missed Wahab Riaz today.

 

[MRSN]

Lol Azhar following footsteps of his dear Misbah contain the opposition rather than attack.
