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

[Pakistani Pace]

What's hafeez doing?

 

[Thivagar]

Dosen't it rain a lot in Sri Lanka?

Rains spoiling more than the cricket matches in srilanka.

The rust is under the roof. It rains in SL but doesn't rain a lot like everyone thinks

 

[Logical]

Hafeez will catch up relax. Sometimes you have to respect decent bowling spells especially when req rate is less than 5.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Hafeez needs to start picking singles and stop eating up dot balls, both he and shehzad need to improve that aspect of their game.

 

[Pete Rose]

please dont call hafeez selfish.
he cant help it if he's a soft player.
there are plenty of bowlers in this attack to help him regain his confidence

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Hafeez choking

this exactly

 

[Pakistani Pace]

Last 20 balls 6 runs and run rate 1.80

 

[cricfan14]

These two are drying up all momentum right now.

You don't have to play rash shots, but not rotating the strike puts yourself under pressure.

he will throw it away and make sure pak lose this match.

 

[Abdullah719]

Dot balls galore.

Maybe the roof has holes in it

 

[taqi]

Need to pass this passage without losing a wicket catch up against spinners

yes, but in his defense, not because he is selfish, but because he is a soft player.

 

[ask_analyse_act]

last 21 balls 6 runs.. now shehzad joins the party with hafeez..

 

[Syed1]

Tuk Tuk shoro.. I think Misbah must have asked them to tuk tuk

 

[Madplayer]

he will throw it away and make sure pak lose this match.

Nope. He should look for singles until spinners are introduced

 

[FreakCricket]

this dry passage starts, i hope they dont get frustrated.

 

[Pakistani Pace]

One two buckle my shoe

 

[BleedGreen]

fazool ka pressure

 

[Madplayer]

2 maidens by maaalinga in a row. Lol

 

[ritzy_123]

This is why I said that Azhar Ali should have been here

 

[FreakCricket]

Tuk Tuk shoro.. I think Misbah must have asked them to tuk tuk

even after retirement you guys are not leaving him alone

 

[mudassir84]

Good strategy by lankans. Stoped the singles. Pakistan choking

 

[Madplayer]

Sarfaraz should be next in.

 

[Boi]

The signs of an imminent collapse are there. Let's see what happens.

cant catch up with spinners, spinners will squeeze more

 

[cricfan14]

There's being sensible and there's completely drying up runs to a halt and building up pressure.

You can't just stop taking singles. You have to keep rotating the strike, even in the middle.

 

[Pete Rose]

like i said, series on the line, new captain, 'funny' things start to happen.
has happened before to malik as captain, and to yk, and misbah

I afraid.. They will not [emoji20]

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Terrible cricket. You're ahead of the game but allow Lanka to come back by tuk tuking.

 

[Uzair Gooner]

Absolutely dumb batting by these two. Shehzad hit the same fielder 3 times in the same ovr

 

[Pakistani Pace]

Tuk Tuk shoro.. I think Misbah must have asked them to tuk tuk

Yeah this is definitely misbahs fault he's approach has effected both hafeez and Shehzad

 

[cricfan14]

fazool ka pressure

Exactly. The scenario calls for you to rotate the strike, not self-impose pressure.

 

[imshally81]

M hafeez on fire.. 3 on 2 balls

 

[m.shah]

Pakistan choking in process here

 

[Greenshadow]

What's going on here??

 

[Syed1]

even after retirement you guys are not leaving him alone

It was a sarcastic post

You can't just stop taking singles. You have to keep rotating the strike, even in the middle.

only shoaib,rizwan and sarfraz have the ability to improvise in order to take quick singles.

 

[yasir]

Hafeez and Shezad are both poor player of seam bowling. Specially when you compare them with Azhar and Harris. How can they keep on playing as opener?

There technique(foot work, balance) is not design for playing fast bowling. They are also poor driver of the ball, fundamentally important for top order batsman. Little bit of sideway movement, they will be sitting ducks. They both are more comfortable against spin then pace. Why nobody in the think tank can see this??

 

[ExplicitAI]

 

[imshally81]

What a shot.... 4

 

[LegbreakGoogly]

Malinga Has bowled 8 overs on the trot? I think its very poor by Sl. He could've been destrective in middle overs.

 

[Syed1]

Yeah this is definitely misbahs fault he's approach has effected both hafeez and Shehzad

Yes Misbah conveyed the message telekinectically to the two batsman all the way from Lahore..


All hail Misbah

 

[aloo paratha]

Finnally a : by Hafeez

 

[pacesensation]

Get rid of these. Both of them are liabilities. Make Rizwan open. Play another batter or a bowler in place of professor

 

[FreakCricket]

is up

 

[Pete Rose]

good shot by hafeez:
his go to shot: rubbish slow delivery that poses no threat caressed through cover

 

[Red Devil]

No

the boundaries are masking his weaknesses here. Boundaries arent this easy every time

He still has a high dot ball percentage. The 4s and the 6 means that his SR is good but he still isnt rotating strike and is finding the fielders way too often rather than hitting through the gaps

Kabhi khush na hona yaar tum log It's okay to criticize him when he doesn't perform but this is just blind hatred.

 

[Pakistani Pace]

It was a sarcastic post

Exactly some people just don't understand...

 

[hefaith]

so many white people in the stand? Vacation season in SRL?

 

[Farhansk]

Hafeez 5 runs on 2 balls... Beast mode

 

[FreakCricket]

Thank goodness for fast start otherwise this dry patch would have taken a toll

 

[Belawal2014]

Yes Misbah conveyed the message telekinectically to the two batsman all the way from Lahore..


All hail Misbah

Mind you, it's King Misbah

 

[cricfan14]

Well then... another Malinga over to survive?

 

[Syed2015]

Hafeez-Shehzad Combo is just the ultimate transformation & execution of tuking.

 

[Thivagar]

Malinga wants to finish his 10 overs and run away home.

 

[hadi123]

Pakistan have to finish this properly to be considered a good team. We can't collapse now

 

[Pakistani Pace]

so many white people in the stand? Vacation season in SRL?

Yeah noticed

 

[malik29695]

Some people come here just to bash shahzad

 

[Man Of Steel]

WTH? only 16 runs left since I left and RR dropping below 6

 

[FreakCricket]

Exactly some people just don't understand...

i was messing too man, obviously we all love king misbah

 

[Abdullah]

What happens to my boy Harris if we win this by 9 wickets?!

 

[cricfan14]

WTH? only 16 runs left since I left and RR dropping below 6

It's Azhar's fault right?

 

[Thivagar]

Dilshan

 

[FreakCricket]

Malinga wants to finish his 10 overs and run away home.

his dinner is ready i think !

 

[Pete Rose]

Ahmed Shehzad is a pantomime aggressive batsman. lots of fancy effort basically to hit the ball to the fielder. must be good entertainment for the fielders during net session

 

[imshally81]

WTH? only 16 runs left since I left and RR dropping below 6

Why u left?

 

[Pakistani Pace]

i was messing too man, obviously we all love king misbah

Yeah of course

 

[ExplicitAI]

for

 

[PCP_1]

so many white people in the stand? Vacation season in SRL?

Yes. May to Sep is the prime touristic season.

 

[razabbas]

finally a

We are going at a RR of 6 and only 1 over is left of malinga just need to see out that over and then the game is done and dusted

 

[Man Of Steel]

Shehzad becomes Kohli whenever he faces Malinga

 

[PCP_1]

Shehzad making up for Hafeez.

 

[Pakistani Pace]

Pak 116-1
20 overs

 

[aloo paratha]

I want Sarfraz to come at 4 again so he can make up for the dot balls that Hafeez has played by getting 1s and 2s!

 

[malik29695]

Shehzad becomes Kohli whenever he faces Malinga

you r funny

 

[razabbas]

Another

Shehzad living dangerously

 

[cricfan967]

Malinga's done 9 overs already..

 

[PCP_1]

This match has become a bit tedious. Need a couple of wickets.

 

[Man Of Steel]

It's Azhar's fault right?

Hafeez
