Sri Lanka vs Pakistan | 4th ODI | Colombo | 16/06/12 | Pakistan Innings

[imshally81]

So you think grand pa Misbah and snail paced Azhar Ali are equivalent to Mahela and Sanga?????

but they can set the stage for Afridi & Akmal

 

[Amjid Javed]

wides that will help the score

 

[OmaIR1]

but they can set the stage for Afridi & Akmal

Who are both unreliable.. Afridi in particular..

 

[imshally81]

3 of the names you mentioned should not be in ODI team

Agree on YK, but Umar Akmal and afridi are specialist Player for ODI....

 

[Amjid Javed]

Good over, 8 runs from it.

Pak 88/2 after 22 overs

AA job is to bat through the inns here for Pakistan, while others try and score quickly around him.

 

[imshally81]

Who are both unreliable.. Afridi in particular..

but Azhar & Misbah are reliable .... speically Misbah

 

[Amjid Javed]

What the Hell was that by AA!

 

[Fireworks11]

Pakistan doing the job atm, need to continue the good work.

 

[hur rizvi]

Wow lankan bowlers must be feeling the heat

"Both the batsmen striking at over 50 per 100 balls now"

 

[OmaIR1]

but Azhar & Misbah are reliable .... speically Misbah

Let's see what happens.. the only thing I can see happening form here is one of these losing their wicket around the 30th-35th over mark.. RRR is 8.00.. Afridi and Akmal fail under pressure..

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pressure getting to AA here!

 

[I Believe in the Teesra]

Any hopes for Asad Shafiq of being back for the next game?

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pak 90/2 after 23 overs.

 

[CricketBuff]

The sad part is there is no new batting talent in Pakistan coming up.

 

[IAJ]

There is at least one positive thing when you have Mishah, Asad and Azhar in same line-up;

There is less chance for a collapse. We will allways be in the game though the RR will increase.

Previously we could chase a score quite easily(very seldom though) or collapse in the process and the game would have been over even before 20 overs were bowled.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Req run rate up to 5.70 now and going upwards!

 

[MVP26]

Selfish innings from Azhar.

 

[IAJ]

The sad part is there is no new batting talent in Pakistan coming up.

If you don't try guys like Usman Salahuddin, Afaq Raheem and Haris Sohail you will never know.
Even Fawad Alam can be given a chance in ODIs.

And why drop Hammad Azam?

And we have many talented batsmen in our u19 team;

Sami Aslam, Babar Azam and Umar Waheed. Babar will be ready in a couple of years.

 

[qamar84]

RR 4 per overs now

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pak 95/2 after 23 overs.

 

[asif9138]

tuk tuk at its best!

 

[cricketpassion]

 

[asif9138]

wow 4444444444

 

[Amjid Javed]

Selfish innings from Azhar.

Its selfish if he throws it away now. His job is to get a big score and bat through the inns!

 

[qamar84]

 

[imshally81]

four from misbah

 

[pakistanalltheway]

Too many test batsmen in the team . We need someone a little more aggressive .

 

[Amjid Javed]

smacked by Misbah for 4 down the ground!

 

[asif9138]

captain getting aggressive

 

[asif9138]

see problem is here..you got 4 and need to take singles

 

[IAJ]

I have seen at least 4-5 very good shots going straight to the fielders

 

[hur rizvi]

There is at least one positive thing when you have Mishah, Asad and Azhar in same line-up;

There is less chance for a collapse. We will allways be in the game though the RR will increase.

Previously we could chase a score quite easily(very seldom though) or collapse in the process and the game would have been over even before 20 overs were bowled.

At least that team would chase 230+ target 4/10 times but this team has no intent they dont have ability to chase anything in excess of 200

 

[asif9138]

see whole over is wasted after getting 4

 

[Amjid Javed]

misbah misses out there shud have cut that away for 4.

 

[imshally81]

Selfish innings from Azhar.

Itz responsible and sensible innings for me

 

[Bullet Drive]

Better

 

[IAJ]

Instead of taking easy singles he is trying to pull himself out huh

 

[asif9138]

At least that team would chase 230+ target 4/10 times but this team has no intent they dont have ability to chase anything in excess of 200

we will struggle big time and we are struggling.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pak 100/2 after 25 overs.

 

[asif9138]

need to take atleast 5 runs per over

 

[cricketpassion]

50 Partnership

 

[imshally81]

need 45-46 runs in next 10 overs, and then it will easy to get 100 in 15 overs

 

[IAJ]

50 runs partnership of 71 deliveries. On the slower side, but will come handy in the end InshaAllah

 

[qamar84]

patnerships 50 from 71 balls

 

[hur rizvi]

Itz responsible and sensible innings for me

Such responsible innings wont win matches for team ....

S/R of 50 is pathetic in ODIs

 

[MVP26]

Half way through the innings.

 

[donsrk]

my vote is for Azhar in place of younis..both are tuk tuk, but atleast Azhar doesnot throws away his wicket like younis..

 

[IAJ]

It's not only pakistanis who are supporting pakistan, sri lankans also do that waqar

 

[MVP26]

One of these two has to bat all the way.

 

[asif9138]

Such responsible innings wont win matches for team ....

S/R of 50 is pathetic in ODIs

he is playing sanga's role!

sanga's inning is example for us that we should not panic! he score 50 in 101 balls, next 47 runs he scored in 29 balls.

 

[PB]

my vote is for Azhar in place of younis..both are tuk tuk, but atleast Azhar doesnot throws away his wicket like younis..

Oh, Azhar tryed to 3-4 times in this innings...He was just lucky

 

[hur rizvi]

my vote is for Azhar in place of younis..both are tuk tuk, but atleast Azhar doesnot throws away his wicket like younis..

both dont deserve to be in ODI team i would rather have shehzad and jamshed in their place

 

[qamar84]

rotating the strike

 

[hur rizvi]

he is playing sanga's role!

sanga's inning is example for us that we should not panic! he score 50 in 101 balls, next 47 runs he scored in 29 balls.

Azhar is no Sanga he doesnt have ability to score 47 in 29 balls

 

[asif9138]

both dont deserve to be in ODI team i would rather have shehzad and jamshed in their place

believe me jamshed was faild in SL back in 2009. we would have faild again if he comes again. im happy he did not make it to this series!

 

[qamar84]

Pakistan RR 4.11
Last 5 ovs 23/0 RR 4.60

 

[imshally81]

azhar on 42

 

[asif9138]

well playing

 

[Bullet Drive]

Hit it in the gap

 

[asif9138]

thy going good. ..if they can bring back score below 100..then inshallah we will win

 

[hur rizvi]

believe me jamshed was faild in SL back in 2009. we would have faild again if he comes again. im happy he did not make it to this series!

just because he failed in 2 games doesnt mean he will always fail in srilanka . He has done very well in his career apart from those two matches

 

[imshally81]

Pakistan RR 4.11
Last 5 ovs 23/0 RR 4.60

Good recovery

 

[asif9138]

just because he failed in 2 games doesnt mean he will always fail in srilanka . He has done very well in his career apart from those two matches

he can not play swing bowling nither shazad, as we saw him in t20!

 

[Bullet Drive]

126 off 126.

 

[taqi]

required rate is now 6 now one of them needs to step on

 

[asif9138]

good fielding

 

[IAJ]

That Ad which includes Nasser and Afridi, which other pakistanis are involved? To me two of them look like Ajmal and Sami?

 

[cricketpassion]

Required run rate is gone above 6 now

 

[asif9138]

azhar should take charge after 50!

 

[kabirg]

They are taking too many risks need to slow down a bit

 

[Bullet Drive]

123 from 120

 

[imshally81]

good sensible batting by this two

 

[asif9138]

we are well ahead comparing to SL at this stage

 

[asif9138]

risky

 

[hur rizvi]

he can not play swing bowling nither shazad, as we saw him in t20!

No one can play swing in Pakistan team

Both have decent technique they can do as well as Azhar Ali and hafeez in swinging conditions and can be much better than them in non-swinging conditions....


Shehzad has a century in Newzealand...

 

[asif9138]

captain is bleeding

 

[AZulfi]

121/2 (30 overs) RRR: 6.15

Test batting at it's best

On a serious note Misbah and Azhar two have done a decent job so far. need to push on now

ONLY two WIKKUTTS have fallen so far

 

[imshally81]

azhar ali is a future star for pakistan batting

 

[MVP26]

Next in is

 

[asif9138]

No one can play swing in Pakistan team

Both have decent technique they can do as well as Azhar Ali and hafeez in swinging conditions and can be much better than them in non-swinging conditions....


Shehzad has a century in Newzealand...
