Sri Lanka v Pakistan | Asia Cup: Match 1 | Dambulla | 15/06/2010 | Pakistan Innings

[ZAK]

3 to Shoaib.

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

28/2

 

[azk]

A cautious start by Shahzaib. I like it.

cautious? are you shitting me? he's left straight deliveries, almost ran himself out, and edged all over the place. calling him cautious is like calling a deer stuck in headlights cautious.

even if he somehow manages to make a 50, he has no class, and hell even nazir is better than him.

 

[ZAK]

28/2 after 11 overs

 

[adzzy786]

Shahzaib trying to make his way into the test side.

) ) ) )

 

[Momo]

He was playing with a tailender.

Even if so (for the sake of argument), does that mean that tailender caused him to throw his wicket? Hardly.

He will learn though.

 

[Sledger]

Ramiz - "Sri Lankans would be best served if they have Shahzaib on strike".

 

[Seen Sheen]

Umar didn't throw his wicket away. Its just that he misplayed the short ball.

He is on debut so be easy on him

spot on..He attempted the stroke,mistimed it and got out..Dont be harsh on him.

 

[Vegitto1]

You don't start a top order player in the middle order just so he can get comfortable, if we needed a middle order bat we should have picked someone like Hasan Raza. I would buy your argument if someone like Fawad was sent one down but Amin is there to open the innings and that is where he should be batting.

Oh yeah? go check out the Aussie approach. There is a reason that all their players are a success at international level. (I know they have a strong domestic) Its the way they ease new players into international level.

 

[hur rizvi]

They are making angelo mathews look glenn mcgrath

 

[azk]

Technique wise, Salman Butt and Shahzaib didn't look fit to lace Umar Amin's boots today. The guy was solid, compact and unruffled - he had one brain freeze moment and paid the price, but it would be criminal not to persevere with him. A real prospect.

should also add the fact that he has never faced someone like malinga before. malinga was on his game and his bouncer is ridiculously hard to pick.

 

[adzzy786]

I told you we cant chase

 

[azk]

THAT wicket now was definitely because of shazhaib.

 

[Sledger]

Malik gone.

All hope rests on Shahzaib.

 

[Rizie]

Umar Save us

 

[arsalan660]

Shoaib Mirza Gone

 

[Momo]

Malik goes. Bonded for life? Hardly.

 

[ZAK]

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

Technique wise, Salman Butt and Shahzaib didn't look fit to lace Umar Amin's boots today. The guy was solid, compact and unruffled - he had one brain freeze moment and paid the price, but it would be criminal not to persevere with him. A real prospect.

Agreed.

 

[pak4life]

ban him again

 

[Strike!]

Mr mirza goes.

 

[Sparhawk]

Not good. This might be just a knee jerk reaction from me but i do blame shahzaib a little for this wicket as well, mostly its maliks own fault though

 

[adzzy786]

Shazaib Playing so selfishly. HES SO CRAP. THE FAT LARD.. OMG.. WHO ATE ALL THE ROTIS.. SHAZAIB DID.

 

[strongman123]

umar akmal to the rescue??

 

[Rizie]

Agaya Shezada :umarakmal

 

[Strike!]

That green lipstick will save us!!

 

[Lahoria]

Oh yeah? go check out the Aussie approach. There is a reason that all their players are a success at international level. (I know they have a strong domestic) Its the way they ease new players into international level.

Yeah they always bat their openers in the middle order how about a few examples to back up your argument and don't mention Watson he was brought in as an allrounder.

 

[waqar_ahmad]

Malik is such a great pressure player.

 

[IAJ]

Haha, dilshan trying to talk to umar and umar is totally ignoring him. good lad.

 

[ZAK]

Umar Akmal comes in to bat.

 

[TalhaSyed]

this is a very retarted innings i must say

 

[strongman123]

shahzaib needs to play a shot other than tht poke...

 

[arsalan660]

Will Shahzaib score now or we have to lost Umar as well

 

[Momo]

Shameem F Buckley is a quite annoying individual.

 

[Eagle_Eye]

How much you guys think Pakistan will make?..... I think they will be all out under 100 today....

any more guesses?

 

[Sledger]

Stop the press. Shahzaib just took a single!

 

[fawad_wellwisher]

cautious? are you shitting me? he's left straight deliveries, almost ran himself out, and edged all over the place. calling him cautious is like calling a deer stuck in headlights cautious.

even if he somehow manages to make a 50, he has no class, and hell even nazir is better than him.

It's his first ODI. Give the guy a break. He is still at the wicket and I hope he grinds it out and scores a few runs.

 

[Poison]

Shahzaib is playing really really really poorly.

 

[CricketBuff]

Yaar stop panicking. This ball is moving around and they are bowling well. This match is in the pocket!

Now thats a height of optimism!!!!

 

[ZAK]

1 to Hassan

 

[Radiance Of Australis]

) Did they just mistake Umar with Kamran?
They were showing his pic and stats and I was like HUH??..What Kami doing here?
And as I said,they switched the stats to Umar's

 

[Rizie]

Kami's tiddi looks so fat

 

[Momo]

Malik is such a great pressure player.

True say, that!

 

[azk]

Not good. This might be just a knee jerk reaction from me but i do blame shahzaib a little for this wicket as well, mostly its maliks own fault though

i blame him almost completely. malik should have exercised better judgment but with the bowling powerplay taken and shahzaib going at his lightning pace he had no choice.

 

[adzzy786]

Shazaib is crap. Malik Is crap. Drop them, Ban them. Reasons- 1. THEY ARE CRAP

 

[GLORY OF '92]

That was a big wkt. Afridi, Razzaq will struggle here so akmals need a massive partnership.

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Stop the press. Shahzaib just took a single!

are u kidding me? A SINGLE !!! WOW

 

[CricketBuff]

Shahzaib is playing really really really poorly.

He is just not International class. These sort of players only do well in the sub standard domestic cricket!!!!

 

[Sledger]

Hopefully Umar will diss Karachi and light a spark in Shahzaib's batting.

 

[Strike!]

Shabash umar cheetay.

 

[Dil Dil Pakistan]

Wonderful stuff from the Pakistani Batsmen, if Shahzaib cant hit shot, then rest of them are not good enough to hit one either then, else they would not get out!

 

[Momo]

Shahzaib is playing really really really poorly.

Please don't ask negative questions.

 

[strongman123]

umar akmal playin positively

 

[Eagle_Eye]

Malik is such a great pressure player.

Where is Anwar to defend Malik???

 

[Abdullah22]

Should have played two youngsters

 

[ZAK]

We need Fawad in the team, for all his technical deficiencies atleast he can rotate the strike.

 

[Sledger]

Idiot Rameez bringing up the T20 SF.

 

[Radiance Of Australis]

Oh God,guys stop picking on Amin and Shahzaib!..They are debutants,they have to be a lil risky!
And dont forget the guy on the other end of the crease,ie,Akmal jr,scored 19 on his first match.Hardly a big innings,is it?

Even the legend Imran Khan was wicketless in his first ever match!

So shush please!

 

[Momo]

Lage raho, Shahzaib. One has to grind it out when things aren't going well! Attaboy!

 

[Radiance Of Australis]

are u kidding me? A SINGLE !!! WOW

Yeah and he was the one who hit the first,no,the ONLY four.

Jeez,chill.

 

[Awesome_Username]

We need Fawad in the team, for all his technical deficiencies atleast he can rotate the strike.

As if any of our current batsmen were the inspiration for the MCC coaching manual or something.

 

[ZAK]

Wide

 

[strongman123]

shahzaib goes

 

[Sledger]

Shahzaib's torturous innings is over.

 

[Rizie]

shazaib big *******

 

[Strike!]

Good riddance!

 

[Sparhawk]

Everyone please, stand up and applaud for shahzaib hassan's magnificent innings!!

 

[Sledger]

What is Pakistan's lowest score in an ODI vs SL?

 

[Radiance Of Australis]

Awww..He got out

 

[ZAK]

 

[CricketBuff]

I hate this sort of attitude. Shahzaib is playing so poorly still he is smiling when the camera is on him !!! He should be serious and concentrate on scoring!!!!

 

[Sledger]

Hopefully has that car in the bag, for the most stylish player of the match award.

 

[strongman123]

maybe a captain innings?

 

[Rizwan25]

Fat kid needs to go!!!!

 

[adarsh_bang]

Whats going on lads ,how did the debutants perform??what's the score ?

 

[cric_crazy]

why is every 1 blaming shahziab .........r u guys nuts?? he is also playing his 1st odi......give him a break for god sake.......

 

[Strike!]

Someone needs to post that image where shahzaib gave umar a thumbs up.

 

[Rizie]

BOOM BOOM coming

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Shazaib grinds himself OUT ! wonderful.

 

[waqar_ahmad]

And the nightwatchman goes
