Sri Lanka vs Pakistan | 4th ODI | Colombo | 22 July, 2015 | Pakistan Innings

[The_KING]

Please go make a Shehzad

 

[Thivagar]

If we are going to lose, we better lose by 8+ overs or 6+ wickets.

 

[Logical]

Yes Lankans were off to a flyer the other day as well but lost it completely

Which match? One where Perera played a blinder ?

 

[cricfan14]

so series in bag

Uff no need to post this in the first 10 overs, it IS Pakistan.

 

[Man Of Steel]

[MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] are you seeing this? I mean Shehzzzy batting

 

[Logical]

If we are going to lose, we better lose by 8+ overs or 6+ wickets.

Have faith in Lakmal bro

 

[LegbreakGoogly]

This is a new Pakistan team whose motto is to attack and Win games thanks misbah for taking retirement .

 

[ExplicitAI]

Lucky runs over the keeper

 

[aloo paratha]

Really lucky for Azhar! Goes over Chandimal's head!!

 

[Madplayer]

Dont slow down now

 

[razabbas]

i just dont know what made our team this much aggresive anyways m just loving it

 

[The_KING]

Please make a century Shehzad

 

[IAJ]

Which match? One where Perera played a blinder ?

Yes, they won the match but collapsed in the middle. And even in the last match they got a good start the first 6-7 overs and when the ball got old it was difficult to play the shots.

 

[Thivagar]

Have faith in Lakmal bro

Heavy loss is needed, we need a better head coach and a batting coach. No point of losing a close match.

 

[Man Of Steel]

As soon as first PowerPlay is done, Azhar's SR will come down immensely!

 

[Madplayer]

Good over by maaaaalinga

 

[cricfan14]

Slow/bad over from Azhar, better over from Malinga.

Nice and easy does it though, no dumb shots PLEASE

 

[IAJ]

2 good overs from SL

 

[hamid.s]

Pakistan got this.

 

[Madplayer]

Heavy loss is needed, we need a better head coach and a batting coach. No point of losing a close match.

And a better captain? And better bowlers? And better fielders?

 

[Madplayer]

Wide

 

[angrypathan]

Azhar trolling everyone here

 

[MSaad1237]

Azhar Ali is very underrated . He has all the ingredients of a class batsman .

 

[razabbas]

Pathetic bowling this

 

[Thivagar]

How many fielders outside the 30 in the first 10 overs ? Why is it looked at as a separate power play ?

 

[IAJ]

The boring part of the match starts now, overs between 10 and 30

 

[cricfan14]

The boring part of the match starts now, overs between 10 and 30

I'm fine with watching Azhar and Shehzad collect singles and doubles and both get centuries for an easy boring win

 

[Man Of Steel]

Bring that spinner on

 

[Slog]

azhar ali gone :/

 

[ExplicitAI]

what the heck

 

[razabbas]

ohhh azhar what you have done out

 

[MSaad1237]

damn you Azhar.

 

[aloo paratha]

Azhar is out!

 

[Logical]

How many fielders outside the 30 in the first 10 overs ? Why is it looked at as a separate power play ?

First 10 overs - 2 fielders outside circle allowed.
11-40 - 4 fielders outside circle allowed
Last 10 - 5 fielders

As i speak Azhar throws it away.

 

[Ottoman]

Pure Stupidity from Azhar.

 

[Theo_14]

Wreckless and needless shot.

 

[Slog]

terrible time to throw away wicket

hopefully sehehzad makes it count and scores a big one

 

[cricfan14]

Well I'm glad he knows how stupid that was.

 

[MRSN]

Azhar what have you done?

 

[LegbreakGoogly]

Realy Azhar? How can you do that?

 

[Thivagar]

Century coming up for Hafeez

 

[cricfan14]

Come on Professor bring it home!!!!

 

[BleedGreen]

threw his wicket away

 

[Pete Rose]

if i look at the past history of our tours to Sri Lanka...when there is a new captain and the series is on the line...'funny' things start to happen.

 

[Man Of Steel]

I told you guys AA doesn't have the game to last in non PP overs.

 

[ritzy_123]

terrible time to throw away wicket

hopefully sehehzad makes it count and scores a big one

Yeah would have never mind the wicket of Ahmed Shahzad but it was Azhar Ali's priceless wicket

 

[Madplayer]

Dont mind azhar doing it. Intent was good and should be continued. Shot selection was poor though.

 

[ritzy_123]

Dont mind azhar doing it. Intent was good and should be continued. Shot selection was poor though.

I agree still learning curve but he is doing well

 

[cricfan14]

I can't watch now, I'm like convinced we're going to collapse.

 

[Man Of Steel]

Why does Hafeez yawn when he is ready to face the ball?

 

[Abdullah719]

I told you guys AA doesn't have the game to last in non PP overs.

You should be ashamed of yourself. Terrible poster. Just always waiting to see Azhar fail. Abhi tak moun band tha aur ab aik dam say khol gaya.

 

[aloo paratha]

Realy Azhar? How can you do that?

As long as he realizes he's done something wrong and improves over it it's fine!

 

[IAJ]

Lovely Adhaan in the background. Really miss that atmosphere.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Not a great shot by AA but we have got off to the flyer we needed, Shehzad is well set so needs to look to bat through the inns and get a big score while hafeez plays himself in... we have a platform here so we can knock these runs off.

 

[naveed4687]

Don't you think dean jones is biased today s i mean he just keeps talking about them

 

[imshally81]

4

 

[IAJ]

Timing Hafeez!

 

[ExplicitAI]

PING

 

[naveed4687]

Brilliant timing from professor

 

[razabbas]

 

[Logical]

Don't you think dean jones is biased today s i mean he just keeps talking about them

Dean Jones is as neutral as they come. It's just he tries his best to keep the viewers interested even in a hopeless situation.

 

[Thivagar]

Beautifully timed

 

[Ryankhan]

what a silly shot azar. please your not afridi. we dont expect this from you. this was just ridiculous
such a great start and you just ruined it. these 2 could had a 200 opening partnership man...

 

[cricfan14]

Terrible shot but the openers absolutely did their job - almost 7 runs an over in the PP absolutely takes some pressure off when the wicket falls. Great job by both of them

 

[aloo paratha]

It's the partnership that matters! A good 75 run partnership has lowered the RRR!

 

[Ottoman]

That was magic from Hafeez. Again intent was the key here.

 

[cricfan14]

My goodness Professor hits some beautiful shots doesn't he?

 

[naveed4687]

Dean Jones is as neutral as they come. It's just he tries his best to keep the viewers interested even in a hopeless situation.

Whatever he does he over does it

 

[Man Of Steel]

You should be ashamed of yourself. Terrible poster. Just always waiting to see Azhar fail. Abhi tak moun band tha aur ab aik dam say khol gaya.

Trust me I wanted him to score for the sake of Pakistan but I am afraid he doesn't have the tools to maneuver the ball around without charging out from crease, thats when PP overs are done, he finds it hard to rotate the strike and goes for a big shot recklessly losing his wicket, he needs to work on his game in order to be a successful opener in long term!

 

[Justcrazy]

80/1

Good start.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan need solid partnership here.

 

[naveed4687]

A run out could be on the cards, they two are pathetic with running between wickets

 

[Zeshan547]

Man don't matter how much we criticize hafeez batting, but when he get timing on such a shots right, the seem out of the world.

 

[Abdullah719]

I find it hard to believe you after having read what you've posted in the past regarding Azhar.

 

[Logical]

Dean Jones is so angry at Sri Lanka )

 

[Abdullah719]

Man don't matter how much we criticize hafeez batting, but when he get timing on such a shots right, the seem out of the world.

He's still the most fluent batsman in the team when he gets going. The problem is getting to that point.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan need to be positive.

 

[Madplayer]

They should make small targets now. Srilanka cant contain them after this start , they need wickets. So Pakistan needs to play smart here. Target 130 without losing a wicket. And take it from there.

 

[Justcrazy]

Dean jones makes lot of sense.

 

[Ryankhan]
