"We were a little sloppy in the field which cost us at the end" : Sarfaraz Ahmed

[Abdullah719]

Sarfaraz Ahmed speaking after the 2nd T20I against World XI:

"World XI deserve credit for the way Perera and Hashim Amla kept the innings together all the way through. They batted brilliantly."

"A lot of our bowlers are young and this is an occasion for them to learn how to bowl in such situations."

"I think we were a little sloppy in the field which cost us at the end."

"The score of 174 was very good and at the end of our innings, we scored a lot of runs. If our execution was a bit better, we could have won the game."

"When you're hitting the yorker regularly sometimes then it's good to keep bowling it but slower balls and length balls should also be mixed in."

Fair point, fielding cost us the game. MAlik cost 10 runs+ a very crucial wicket

Unfortunately this is the case. Malik dropped a catch of Perera and we probably would have won if he caught that. And World XI also got some 2s that should have been 1s, 1s that should have been dots etc. Hope our fielding is back to our best tomorrow

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

If I am correct, Sarfaraz has won every series/tournament he has entered as captain - I know a pretty short CV but still.

Which means I have to keep faith in him delivering the last game.

Go captain!

Sarfaraz should blame himself as well. Does nothing with the bat and then can't keep his cool under pressure which rubs off wrongly on the rest of the team.

I have posted his recent numbers in T20.They are really bad tbh.If he wasn't the captain,He would have failed to make in to Playing XI

He said nothing to Malik but looked at Shadab after the misfield as if he wanted to kill him

Malik is older than him and Malik was at the boundary at the time anyway so how could Sarfraz communicate with him?

So? Malik is older does that mean he is exempted from scolding and shouting of Sarfraz,Shadab was fielding at the same area when he misfielded and Sarfraz was shouting at him angrily

I didn't say it was okay that he shouted at Shadab and not Malik. I'm just stating the reasons why

Kamran Akmal rightfully gave him the mouthful during WI series.He really needs to tone down or he could face backlash from his own players.At this rate I dont see him captaining Pakistan beyond 2019 WC
