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

[Sports_Psychologist]

A good pitch...

 

[super hitter]

No Fakhar Zaman! no aggression, unfortunately our aggressive side is lead by the one and only Fakhar Zaman who is followed by no one and makes sense, since he's not in the XI.

Really wish Shadab comes in at 3 and gains some confidence

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

entertainment starts now boys !! Waqar in the combox

 

[Hamza_]

Waqar also pointing out. Windies just gifted them bad balls.

 

[Syed1]

Kami opening in CT is inevitable now.


I was hoping for three failures on the trot so that we can get rid of him. Oh well we can still hope for failures for Shehzad and Hafeez.

 

[JibranAnsari]

And kami departs

 

[pakistanisgreat]

finally akmal gone

 

[Sports_Psychologist]

Shehzad is Shehzad but Kamran is playing dot balls a lot too.. Oh and GONE!!!

 

[Markhor]

Usual brain implosion from Kamran when he looked set for a big score over fifty. A nothing delivery.

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Kamran Akmal gone.

 

[uberkoen]

Would have been nice to give some young hard hitting opener an opportunity here. These two have done nothing special to be honest and will end up getting a few series now due to this performance here today. Would've been a nice confidence booster for a young player this.

 

[shaz619]

[MENTION=138463]Slog[/MENTION] hurry! Waqar Younis is on commentary!

 

[Syed1]

Yesssss Kami didnt get fifty :

 

[Pete Rose]

Post match ceremony speeches: sarfaraz 'nowadays it is important to play aggressively, and we did that today. All the players want to play positive cricket'
Post match stats: Pakistan plays same number of dot balls as per last two years average

 

[Hamza_]

Gone. Usual Kami dismissal.

 

[Mamoon]

About 5-6 posters will blame Shehzad for Kamran's dismissal.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Kami opening in CT is inevitable now.


I was hoping for three failures on the trot so that we can get rid of him. Oh well we can still hope for failures for Shehzad and Hafeez.

Kami dont worry me much ,he either gets out or scores at a good rate which is fine. The other two are bigger worries.

 

[Citizen4]

Kamran gone finally.
I hope Hafeez gets a duck now

 

[QalandarFan]

Akmal gone!

 

[Mamoon]

Post match ceremony speeches: sarfaraz 'nowadays it is important to play aggressively, and we did that today. All the players want to play positive cricket'
Post match stats: Pakistan plays same number of dot balls as per last two years average

He has been taking english lessons it seems.

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Kami walking back with his usual crying like face

 

[Stallion__]

Ah the trademark dismissal of Kamran while attempting cut shot....

 

[saeed5646]

Usual brain implosion from Kamran when he looked set for a big score over fifty. A nothing delivery.

he was tired and wanted to go to dress room as quickly as he can

 

[pakistanisgreat]

now that is insane. Hafeex ahead of BABAR, what in the world Team management thinking??

 

[Arsalan Pro]

M Hafeez in.

 

[Markhor]

Let the lecture begin

 

[MMHS]

[MENTION=141114]Hasan123[/MENTION]

I told you, if anyone apart from God can dislodge Babar from No. 3 under Arthur, it'll be MoHa.

 

[Pete Rose]

#thingsyoudontsayinpakistan
Bishop : 'Pakistan have attacked Gabriel and Pakistan have attacked Muhammad'

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Unbelievable.

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Good Lord What the Heck.............

 

[Hamza_]

Waqar pointing out the poor decision to drop Babar at #4.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Hafeez is at number 3.

 

[Mamoon]

I don't mind Babar out of his comfort zone, i.e. not at 3 today. Might force him to bat at a better SR.

 

[Speedster777]

The curse of Hafeez when will it end???

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Evan waaqar not happy hafeez being at 3

 

[Arsalan Pro]

They have displaced Babar for M Hafeez at 3,pathetic decision.

 

[Pete Rose]

He has been taking english lessons it seems.

This is given to all Pakistani captains to memorize.

 

[Markhor]

Waqar you persisted with Hafeez for ages including in World T20 despite his failures in T20, the same tournament where you didn't even pick Babar Azam ?

Easy to be holier than thou sitting in commentary box.

 

[JibranAnsari]

This is really unfair on babar azam. I am pretty sure hafeez would have never walked out of opener got out in the first 5 overs.

 

[Stallion__]

Time for some blessed cricket

 

[Sports_Psychologist]

Waqar used to change Babar's place a lot and now he is not happy with Hafeez at 3 hypocrisy...

 

[Syed1]

I will pray in Jumma for failure of Hafeez and Shehzad throughout the series.

 

[Speedster777]

Sarfraz has disappointed big time with such sifaarshi undeserving selection

 

[coy0607]

I will pray in Jumma for failure of Hafeez and Shehzad throughout the series.

iA

 

[phoenix363]

I don't mind Babar out of his comfort zone, i.e. not at 3 today. Might force him to bat at a better SR.

An optimistic view, but not so positive when its Hafeez who is replacing him at 3.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

common holder you could have done batter than this

 

[Arsalan Pro]

The curse of Hafeez when will it end???

Not for 7-8 years more.

 

[yasir]

This is fricking height of favoritism...Hafeez survive last 7 years as an opener in Misbah era, dpesite worse in entire world, now trumped Babar(who is one of the best in the world at no 3)...This is very frustrating, when we will see back of Hafeez, he is killing me

 

[saeed5646]

I will pray in Jumma for failure of Hafeez and Shehzad throughout the series.

almosttttttttttttttttttttttt

 

[JibranAnsari]

Didnt babar score 3 tons again windies at number 3?

 

[Citizen4]

oh no, Holder should have dived at least.
Hafeez should get out soon

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Ya Allah Hafeez out hojayee Jaldi say.....

 

[shaz619]

Waqar you persisted with Hafeez for ages including in World T20 despite his failures in T20, the same tournament where you didn't even pick Babar Azam ?

Easy to be holier than thou sitting in commentary box.

But that doesn't make him wrong does it, Waqar can't just sit there and spew ignorance for the sake of not being a hypocrite; he's a reformed man now, from the commentary box you get a better perspective rather then in the line of duty under pressure with Hafeez doing all that sweet talking which would solve all the disputes in the middle east

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

this is disgusting and truly awful from Mickey and Sarfraz

i mean honestly

I literally screamed as i saw Professor walk in

 

[saeed5646]

Didnt babar score 3 tons again windies at number 3?

4 in last 8 odis he played batting at 3

 

[Hamza_]

This is given to all Pakistani captains to memorize.

Pakistani all famous ratta system.

 

[NauV]

I can not believe this . . this is absolutely preposterous!!! How the hell can you move Babar from number 3?!?!? this is beyond mind boggling . .

 

[Syed1]

this is disgusting and truly awful from Mickey and Sarfraz

i mean honestly

I literally screamed as i saw Professor walk in

There was a reason why Mickey has been fired from each of his previous jobs.

 

[uberkoen]

I will pray in Jumma for failure of Hafeez and Shehzad throughout the series.

What about during the other prayers?

 

[pakistanisgreat]

look like Hafeez will score today...an other one will make place in team for next 2 yaars

 

[Pete Rose]

Why? They are playing as it comes. 83/0 in 14 is outstanding in any standard - almost unthinkable in PAK standard, that too without SK. A little bit fluency at the start by ahmed, it could have been 100/0

Yeah, but those don't tell the story do they. To go with all the dot balls, Pakistani won't get the boundary balls against better competition and Shehzad (caught) and Akmal (runout) would have been dismissed by down. This is good enough against windies and Afghanistan

 

[Hamza_]

Mickey should get rid of oldies like Hafeez. Is it so tough to look at his record?

 

[shaz619]

What ay stylish superstar leave, very watchful from Hafeez; he is aware of his off stump! I expect a hundred today

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Holder has bowled really well compared to others.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Easy series here are used ti comfort the seniors.

 

[Syed1]

What about during the other prayers?

Well the next namaz is Jumma.

 

[uberkoen]

Holder has bowled really well compared to others.

Which isn't saying much really

 

[Pete Rose]

The heartache I get when I see ahmed Shehzad leaving the ball

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Shehzad fifty of balls come up.

 

[Hamza_]

Get in Gabriel.

 

[Stallion__]

Holder has developed a Pollard like action, compromising pace for accuracy

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Holder is scared of MOHA

 

[saeed5646]

run rate will come down to 4 and half quickly

 

[MenInG]

Guys keep non cricket discussions off this

 

[Syed1]

Guys keep non cricket discussions off this

Ok sorry

 

[Citizen4]

Hafeez please get out

 

[MMHS]

I can not believe this . . this is absolutely preposterous!!! How the hell can you move Babar from number 3?!?!? this is beyond mind boggling . .

Quite expected actually - your next surprise will be when PAK fields : this guy is going to stand at only slip.

You are surprised because you don't follow indepth of PAK cricket. This guy is rated equal to Majid Khan by people who has seen Majid live, in fact played with him. In cricket terms - that should be punishable under blasphemy law......

 

[Syed1]

A top three of Shehzad, Kami and Hafeez.


The CT is coming home this year boysssss.

 

[Hamza_]

Shadab should be batting up today.

 

[Arsalan Pro]

92/1 in 17.
