What's new

West Indies v Pakistan | 1st ODI | Guyana | April 7th, 2017 | Pakistan Innings

Lovely practice for Tests by Shezzy. Always maintained he's way better than Sami. Look, he's even compromising his ODI spot and practicing here. :D Lovely guy.
 
Too worried about getting dismissed, this is not the way. Needs to learn from Kamran.

He is timing well, but straight to fielders. Unless improves his placement, won't survive long as opener.

And too many tentative pokes at 4th stump, sign of nerves.
 
Yes for an international cricketer, thanking God after every boundary is indeed embarrassing. It will be understandable if he does it after a 50 or a hundred, but not after hitting boundaries.

Typical of Pakistanis... No one should question their religion but they always question others'..
 
Two maidens on the trot.


Thank you Inzi, Mickey and Sarfaraz


:salute
 
2 of the most selfish players on the crease right now. Back to back maidens.
 
It is important for Kamran to play 20 overs here. Babar will totter at his usual rate and Hafeez will probably fail, which means it will probably be down to Malik to convert a 250 into a 300.
 
Shehzad, You won't get the bad balls to score against better opposition.

Very well said and fully agreed.
 
:FOUR OR DOT that's Pakistan.'s attacking game for you
 
Have to say, once again MoHa has imbalanced the lineup with top 6 right ganders. Shehzad-Fakhar should have tested the disciplaine of this WI attack.
 
I can't wait to see these maiden machines play in the Champions Trophy.

Hope something happens and we can get Sharj back.
 
Shehzad's pure shot making ability is the reason why I'm willing to see him get more chances to work on his mental approach and strike rotation.
 
Sharjeel needs to be given a tight slap on the wrists, not allowed to participate in the PSL and deducted his match pay for a year but allowed to play. I can't stand this tuk tuk. We stand no chance in the CT with this lot :facepalm:

Hussain Talat should have been at #4 today instead of him.
 
The sad thing is the team management and captain would be thinking this is a superb start :facepalm:
 
You have 5 bowlers in the team and Malik can bowl as well.

Selecting Hafeez is baffling
 
They are doing really well I think. WI attack is almost entirely these two new ball pair, that too for first 12-13 overs. They are scoring at 5+ which is more than decent. If middle order can't cash on such starts, that shouldn't be openers' fault.
 
Should be targeting Jason Mohammad, he's not really a full-time spinner.
 
Kami is not a tuk tuk. He is playing pretty quickly here. Considering the pitch is supposedly slow.
 
Bowling is just a pretext, Hafeez has been selected because of Arthur's lack of faith in Fakhar, who has showcased the gulf between Pakistan domestic cricket and international cricket.
 
Looking towards the heaven once again:kakmal, but hey if it helps him perform then he should keep at it
 
fakhar ? you gotta be joking
that second coming of awaiz zia hack

That should have been understood before the series. He is not 18 years old unknown kid picked from street. After 23K international runs in 18 years, if PCB's chief selector picks Fakhar, who is in his 9th year in FC cricket, one can't help much.

My point was for a left right opening pair & the mess that MoHa is going to create - either pushing Babar to 4 or start career as PAK No. 4 at the tender age of 40. And, I can categorically tell that Zakir & Fakhar was picked to protect MoHa - one 35+ score, he'll be in UK.
 
Broken the shackles somewhat. Again, should remember, against a better ranked team Shehzad would have been dismissed by now and Hafeez facing the music
 
Shehzad's ability to find the fielders with perfectly timed shots is unmatched in the modern era.
 
Shahzad as always content with middling the ball straight to the fielders
 
Alzarri Joseph showing his inexperience, his control hasn't been good today.
 
Arthur needs to remind Shehzad about his extremely high dot ball percentage. A good SR riding on a high number of boundaries is not good batting, and he needs to be told that.
 
Let me rephrase myself, I'm hoping against hope he didn't fix.

Man, he was just so good. But, if he has fixed, ban him for life.

I hold a differing opinion, we need to utilize doctrine of necessity and give him a massive penalty but induct him in the side for quam ke waseee tar mafaad. This tuk tuk is too much for me to handle.
 
Boundaries wasnt the issue before , its the number of dot balls and the issue is still there.
 
What is Rameez Blabbering about ?? Is he gonna completely ignore the fact that only 3 months ago we were opening the games with Sharjeel who practically wipes the floor in SR vs these two...
 
Jason Holder rivals Azhar Ali as one of the worst LOI captains. The part-time spinner is being dispatched to all parts yet he still continues to bowl him.
