Shadab 5fer on ODI debut incoming I hope the pitch is not as horrible as it's reputation, a more balanced pitch would be great

Reading the West Indian newspapers there's much talk about how the Guyana pitch has been relaid.

Curator Wasim Habib says its more grass based so won't be as spin-friendly as the past and there's new soil so will be quicker and bouncier. Take that with a BIG pinch of salt as we've been here before with Caribbean pitches.

Jeff Dujon was saying the ground is below sea level so it'll still play slow and low.

They haven't had a chance to test the new pitch in domestic so this ODI is the first time we'll see how it'll play. Kent Crafton is the Regional Curator and he says its a 250 pitch.

cool, I hope we bat first if it's decent pitch

 

[Citizen4]

WI won the toss, they're bowling first

 

[Citizen4]

I hope we play aggressively

 

[Syed1]

I wanted us to chase because we are bad chasers and Windies would have been the ideal side to practice our chasing against.

 

[hadi123]

Team news?

 

[JibranAnsari]

I wanted us to chase because we are bad chasers and Windies would have been the ideal side to practice our chasing against.

Lets worry about winning first.

 

[saeed5646]

Team news?

only shadab debut ,hafeez ,amir are playing

full 11 is not shown so far

 

[JibranAnsari]

So hafeez is continuing to torment us.

 

[Syed1]

So hafeez is continuing to torment us.

I mean he doesn't last long anyway. I'm sure he will be dropped after a couple of failures.

 

[saeed5646]

So hafeez is continuing to torment us.

may be we can get rid of him before CT i hope he fails miserbly

 

[Citizen4]

So hafeez is continuing to torment us.

I hope he gets a duck and concedes 20 runs in his first over and warm the bench for the other 2 ODIs

 

[Citizen4]

may be we can get rid of him before CT i hope he fails miserbly

itnay achay din nhi aye abhi humare, he will play CT and also next world cup

 

[saeed5646]

itnay achay din nhi aye abhi humare, he will play ct and also next world cup

come on yr

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

I mean he doesn't last long anyway. I'm sure he will be dropped after a couple of failures.

he has a great chance to get a slow 50 that will keep him going till the ct

never doubt a seniors ability to survive

 

[IAJ]

ICC must do something with these playing eleven announcements. It feels like It takes ages even after the toss to know the final eleven of Pakistan.

OMG that is exactly what I was thinking........

 

[saeed5646]

Wahab is playing when will torture over of this useless bowler

 

[Syed1]

Wahab is playing when will torture over of this useless bowler

Amir Wahab and Hasan?

 

[Citizen4]

come on yr

Ab dawa ki nhi, dua ki zarorat hai

 

[Syed1]

Seems like CI will update the playing eleven after the first innings.

 

[Saeed]

If we lose it will be because they delayed the squad announcement. This lowers the morale of bowlers because they don't know if Kamran Akmal is keeping or not.

 

[Syed1]

Shehzad, Kamran, Babar, Hafeez, Malik, Sarfraz (capt, wk), Shadab, Imad, Amir, Hasan, Wahab


Mashallah..Look at that top six. Nazar na lagay..

 

[JibranAnsari]

I hope he gets a duck and concedes 20 runs in his first over and warm the bench for the other 2 ODIs

He is gonna score a 50 somewhere and will haunt us in ct as well.

 

[Saeed]

Omg Kamran Akmal is playing as a batsman only. We are already one down.

 

[Hamza_]

Horrible top 6. Absolutely pathetic

 

[Cheetah99]

Hafeez playing again, yaar humlog he bewakuf hai who thinks there might be a change

 

[JibranAnsari]

Lol , without sharjeel our top order is really ordinary. Babar , malik and sarfraz are the ones who can be called good , other batsmen are downright horrible.

 

[Citizen4]

Hafeez ki jaga nhi hai iss line up main

 

[saeed5646]

Ab dawa ki nhi, dua ki zarorat hai

wahab will be unfit soon or later .he is playing none stop cricket from last 3 month

 

[Syed1]

He is gonna score a 50 somewhere and will haunt us in ct as well.

I wonder why I players lack in ghairat so much and realize that it is their time to hang up the boots.

 

[Citizen4]

Sarfraz at 6 is a mistake, he's only their to sccomodate Hafeez who won't bat in the lower order because it would be disrespectful considering his experience.
Sarfraz was amazing at 5 last year.
Hafeez has single handedly disturbed the balance

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

Lol , without sharjeel our top order is really ordinary. Babar , malik and sarfraz are the ones who can be called good , other batsmen are downright horrible.

its not ordinary its disgusting, and all the good that malik Sarfraz can do is negated by accomdading professor at 4


sad fact is that even this current windies line up will have a better chance at scoring 300.

This current pak team will have trouble chasing anything above 240

 

[saeed5646]

Amir Wahab and Hasan?

yes

it is great that hasan will open the bowling with amir .lets see how hasan does with new ball

 

[JibranAnsari]

Sarfraz isnt using shadabs batting well , he needs to bat before all the bowlers.

 

[abughio]

why is this to adjust hafeez everyone has to go down.

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

Sarfraz at 6 is a mistake, he's only their to sccomodate Hafeez who won't bat in the lower order because it would be disrespectful considering his experience.

I love sarfraz, but he is captain, he should have the guts to kick professor out or ifhe has to play keep him at 6

 

[ExpressPacer]

I expect Hafeez to come out and score a pathetic 50. He will also take Babars spot.

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

professor listed to come in at 3

 

[Syed1]

yes

it is great that hasan will open the bowling with amir .lets see how hasan does with new ball

All their good work would be lost when Wahab comes onto bowl, because he is downright pathetic.



This team is so lame... Shehzad, Kami, Hafeez and Wahab


Bus Sohail Tanvir ki dair thi, qasar poori karne liyay osko bhi daal dehtay.

 

[Square Drive]

Hafeez in ODIs is still bearable compared to Hafeez in T20Is.

He's mainly selected for his bowling today.

 

[Citizen4]

wahab will be unfit soon or later .he is playing none stop cricket from last 3 month

I dont know what Wahab eats, but he usually dont get injured. He dont belong here anyways

 

[Square Drive]

professor listed to come in at 3

Dw, not happening.

hahahhaa wahab is playing non stop cricket .i don,t think he will remain fit till CT if he plays 3 test also

 

[Syed1]

We select a TTF filled team right before the CT. I would have been happy if we were trying out youngsters like Fahim, Zakir (yeah he is 33 years old) or Zaman, all of whom are part of the squad.


Inzi, Mickey and Sarfaraz displaying their love for TTFs and 'experience'

 

[shaz619]

Not a very inspiring squad if am honest, look forward to our batting though should be interesting

 

[shaz619]

Glad to see Hafeez back, ODI's are his format; great move.

 

[Hamza_]

Don't have any idea what Inzi and Selectors see in this guy Hafeez.

 

[Saeed]

Test match going on, two dot balls.

 

[JibranAnsari]

its not ordinary its disgusting, and all the good that malik Sarfraz can do is negated by accomdading professor at 4

Sarfraz can easily open as he has shown before , having shehzad and hafeez in the top 4 means that we will always be behind in the game. Shehzad scores nothing in the first 10 and hafeez takes a while to get going and when we think he is set he gets out.

Sarfraz
Kamran
Babar
Malik
Zakir
Number 6
Shadab
Imad

Amir
Hasan
Wahab

 

[Syed1]

Bets on Pakistan limping their way to 40/2 in the first 10.

 

[saeed5646]

I dont know what Wahab eats, but he usually dont get injured. He dont belong here anyways

he is on verge of getting drop if he continue current form

 

[Markhor]

Disappointed with Hafeez's recall, he won't last long against Gabriel or Joseph and if you wanted the extra spinner - play Asghar !

 

[Saeed]

I have a feeling Kamran Akmal will get someone run out.

 

[Syed1]

Haan haan poora over pee ja

 

[shaz619]

Jigah bae Jigah! Pakistan Jigah! Jigah! come on lads, am fired up!

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Pak should make 280 at least.

 

[ExpressPacer]

Shehzad Tuk tukking like usual!

 

[shaz619]

What on earth is this! need to see a damn boundary soon, am growing impatient, stop putting excess pressure on each other boys

 

[JibranAnsari]

What the.. Shehzad continues his old self

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Pak should make 280.

 

[Syed1]

Shehzad shielding the tailender at the other end

 

[Markhor]

Par score at Providence is 220 with 300 only ever being crossed once, but as I explained in #3 its a new pitch so we don't know exactly how it'll play.

Curator says its a 250 pitch but we should aim higher.

 

[shaz619]

Theoretically 36 runs are possible in the first over of an ODI, this pair have already failed by my estimation

 

[Hamza_]

Shehzad

 

[Arsalan Pro]

5 dots by Shehzad.

 

[Saeed]

Good job by Shahzad for taking a single on last ball. Don't let Kamran Akmal bat.

 

[Abdullah719]

Shehzad shielding the tailender at the other end

Plot twist - Shehzad is a tailender too.

 

[shaz619]

We will need to be very watchful

 

[Kianig89]

Hafeez malik kamran what a pathetic side

 

[Jabo]

What a awful xi

 

[Syed1]

Can't wait to celebrate whenever Shehzad, Kami and Hafeez get out.

 

[Kianig89]

Kamran average s 26 in ODI

 

[shaz619]

Our bowling attack looking great today:

Amir
Hassan Ali
Wahab Riaz
Shadab
Asghar

Support:
Imad
Malik
Hammad Azam

 

[JibranAnsari]

Missing sharjeel a lot here.

 

[Hamza_]

Worst XI in many years.

 

[ExpressPacer]

That was out man

 

[Markhor]

These guys are not going to last against Shannon Gabriel or Alzarri Joseph.

Gabriel can hit 145kph and gets the ball to seam. He was getting guys like Joe Root and Jason Roy playing and missing a lot in the recent series with England.
