Who is brad?

Anwar Ali aka #brad in Sania Mirza's tweet. could be his nick name in the dressing room due to his looks

 

[Madplayer]

Why doesnt the keeper move a bit forward?

I think brad is somebody in the support staff or team management

He is the physio

He is the physio

I thought so

 

[Man Of Steel]

This is getting so boring, I am leaving

 

[Pakistani Pace]

This is getting so boring, I am leaving

Leave then

 

[LegbreakGoogly]

Pakistan bowlers are very inconsistent. Can't pitch a ball on the same spot for more then one time. . .

 

[Pakistani Pace]

Beauty from Rahat!

 

[daytrader]

He is the physio

cool, didn't know that

 

[m.shah]

Pakistan have announced their T20
squad, by the way: Afridi, U Akmal, A
Shahzad, Nouman Anwar, Irfan, Hafeez,
Mukhtar, S Malik, Rizwan, Sarfaraz, Yasir
Shah, Sohail Tanvir, Imad Wasim, Anwar
Ali, Zia ul Haq/Wahab Riaz (subject to
fitness)

 

[Pakistani Pace]

cool, didn't know that

No worries

 

[Justcrazy]

this partnership looking dangerous.

 

[m.shah]

Need to break through this partnership quickly

 

[Pakistani Pace]

Just need to get one or two more wickets to put pressure back on Lanka

 

[LegbreakGoogly]

Bring Anu back for Irfan. . .

 

[ritzy_123]

That's where Hafeez was important to stop the flow of runs and getting a wicket here and there

 

[Justcrazy]

second spell by Anwar.

 

[m.shah]

Rahat Ali after bowling all those good deliveries has still conceded 16 from the three overs

 

[Executioner]

I am not liking the inconsistancy of the Pakistan bowler. Some jaffa followed by a full or wide delivery.

 

[Pakistani Pace]

Rahat Ali after bowling all those good deliveries has still conceded 16 from the three overs

Ik just saw

 

[JilaWatan]

raja has a point. there must be a reason they keep having anwar ali bowl with a scrambled seam. im sure they are well aware, and waqar cant just be like ok anwar bowl what you can, there must be some reasoning behind it.

 

[Pakistani Pace]

Anwar bowling decent

 

[Justcrazy]

Both batsmen looking good .

 

[Pakistani Pace]

48-1 (10 overs.)

 

[Pakistani Pace]

Anu back on

 

[Justcrazy]

48 / 1

10 overs

all rounder plus brilliant in fielding makes him look better among others contemporaries

 

[JibranAnsari]

Need a wicket now , this is a do or die match for us.

We dont win deciders.

 

[m.shah]

Good over by rahat that

 

[Justcrazy]

Big chase coming up for Pakistan

 

[BleedGreen]

They're scoring at a very good rate

 

[Justcrazy]

53 . 1

11 overs

 

[hussain.r97]

Yasir, flight it up!

 

[junaid.ahmed]

no new ball spinner in Pakistan after hafeez & ajmal

 

[hussain.r97]

Good to see Yasir flighting it more. He needs to bowl at the same pace as Test cricket (80-85kph).

If he does this, the wickets will come.

 

[DRS]

Anwar Ali is a just useless.

 

[Justcrazy]

Thirumanaie is good against Pakistan , he does well always.

 

[hussain.r97]

Anwar needs to get his pace up. Needs to be bowling around the 135kph mark, accurately + a few variations. Can be a useful player if he can do that.

Never rated him, but he is seriously improving, and who wouldn't want such a good fielder to come good?

 

[Syed2015]

Yasir Shah doesnt impress me at all in LOI cricket, tbh.

 

[Justcrazy]

Lanka playing with a solid plan.

 

[m.shah]

These two going smoothly.. Pakistan in for a chase of 300

 

[DRS]

Going by how the Srilankans are batting, I see Pakistan chasing a huge target of 280 under lights lol.

Under lights sums up what would happen later on.

 

[imshally81]

Azhar himself on

 

[hussain.r97]

Yasir still bowling too flat. Is bowling a few more flighted ones than before, but still not enough.

He's gotta make flight as part of his stock ball, and make the flatter one into a variation!!

 

[Madplayer]

Think imad wasim can bowl with a new ball given his style of bowling.

 

[Bullet Drive]

No doubt we are the best fielding side in world cricket right now. As well as this, we have the best up-coming batting, spin bowling and all-round talent in Pakistan. Fast bowling needs a little work but it'll be okay once Amir is back.

Fair to say we will be the best cricket team in this next 2+ years and that will last for the next 10-15 years.

True . Can't forget Asia Cup 2014.

 

[Belawal2014]

Guys is the playing XI unchanged?

We potentially could be if we didn't have liabilities in the field like Rahat and Irfan. Hopefully Wahab should be back for one of them soom (preferably Irfan), and Amir should be back for someone too (probably Rahat), then we can truly make this claim.

Yes.

Yes that's what I mean. Wahab will replace Irfan and Amir to replace Rahat. We are the best fielding side in world cricket then no doubt. And remember we have the likes of Umar Akmal, Fawad Alam, Asad Shafiq, Shan, Amin, Manzoor who are all magnificent fielders.

 

[Belawal2014]

We're gonna be chasing a big one tonight.

 

[junaid.ahmed]

why azhar using himself??? no need to take risks at this stage

 

[Ottoman]

Need a wicket here. Otherwise we will be chasing more than 280 here.

 

[taqi]

need quick wickets game is drifting away

 

[shah_1]

Yasir is bowling flat, why?

 

[taqi]

bring imad

 

[LegbreakGoogly]

Wicket! come on yaar.

 

[m.shah]

Bring in imad

 

[Executioner]

Looks like SL will score around 280+ here, will be a tough chase for Pakistan TBH

 

[ritzy_123]

I think we need to attack rhe the bowl bring in a slip few close fielders don't put the fielders at the edge of the ring.. It's a good test for Azhar Ali

 

[junaid.ahmed]

bring back irfan & fielders closer, they are dealing in singles so cut off these singles

 

[Jabo]

Guess we'll be chasing around 260+

not too bothered about that, batting is looking good and will be interesting to see how the batsman come out chasing a big total.

With this bowling attack, I've always expected us to need a 300+ score to trouble SL chasing or we're either going to have chase around 300

 

[ritzy_123]

Imaad is bowling a bit too fast?

 

[BleedGreen]

Good over from imad

Just checked Imad wasim's bowling record in domestics. Looks like a mediocre bowler with average of 32, 31 and 27 in FC, List A and T20 respectively.

Surely, there are better SLAs in Pakistan?

But he has been bowling just fine

 

[Hawkeye]

So boring till now.

 

[Ryankhan]

Pathetic captaincy from azar ali. looks like another misbah to me with his pathetic defensive approach. why the hell are you having all your playerrs at boundaries?? they are taking easy singles without any pressure and they are building a solid partnership.. azar must build pressure. keep all the fielders in the circle except 2-3 at boundaries, get a slip . attack. dont give them easy singles. let them go for big shots to create a chance.. azar is just waiting for the batsmen to get out himself and he is just waiting for the 50 overs to end... very dissapointed...

 

[LegbreakGoogly]

Irfan is realy troubling with something should't play 5th odi in any case. . . .

Thats because hes improved a lot in domestic. Look at his recent matches!

Easy singles are because of bad bowling! Do you bloody want all 11 fielders around the batsman. Its something that only the bowler can prevent.. Every single team gives away easy singles in middle overs

 

[Madplayer]

There should have been a slip. Always try to take wickets. But generally aHar has been proactive today. Bringing irfan on to attack in the middle overs. Good. He is learning.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Azhar really is a fantastic captain. I love this team.

That's because in our domestic cricket our bowlers bowl against the likes of: Nawaz, Akmal, Maqsood, Amin, Babar, Sami, Haris, Malik not Hoque, Shoque Riyadh etc

mate read again. i said more fielders should be in the circle and have 2-3 at boundaries. you cannot allow to let them away with such easy singles. they didnt score any boundaries, only dealt with singles and twos. really disappointing stuff by azar.
