West Indies v Pakistan | 1st T20I | Bridgetown | Mar 26, 2017 | Pakistan innings

[Rayyman]

What a shot by

 

[Sarfarazian92]

Sarfraz should stop being shareef and come in at #3 if he has to. This tuk tuk players are pathetic to watch

 

[The cricket enthusiast]

Can't bowl can't bat.

Kami can't field or bat.

Its like every year I have to deal with this. Thy are not international grade. Just drop them.

listen to what rameez said :
kamran is carrying extra responsibility of being a fielder. lool

 

[super hitter]

56 of 60 deliveries

 

[Barragan]

Beautiful deft touch

 

[Madplayer]

I dont think anymore wickets will fall for Pakistan today.

 

[Justcrazy]

56 / 3

10 overs

 

[world cup captain]

Babar struggling as well

He's not a T20 player...

No need to accelerate, just go run a ball and we will win.

 

[Pete Rose]

Pakistan has to select aggressive batsmen otherwise they are condemned. They should have brought junaid ali and awais zia on this tour

 

[Madplayer]

he actually said that??
well no wonder he himself is a joke of a commentator .
thankgod he is not in ipl anymore

He did. I couldn't believe it at first. But he went on to explain it and it became even more embarrassing with each word lol

 

[Syed1]

Fakhar Zaman couldn't find a spot in THIS side???

 

[Ellipsism]

Chucker into the attack

 

[last_knight]

this team cant chase anything above 160 .i bet

I said it after the toss that this XI can't chase at 6 RPO.

Kamran and Hafeez shouldnt have been in XI.

Nevertheless, Hafeez is going to be reported for his bowling action anyway.

 

[Pete Rose]

No need to accelerate, just go run a ball and we will win.

But what does that have to be with babar playing poorly

 

[msb314]

Despite loss of wickets - should still be a comfortable chase for us.

 

[Madplayer]

Massive No ball. Opportunity for Babar

 

[Rayyman]

Yesss!!!!
Free hit!!!

 

[Pete Rose]

Despite loss of wickets - should still be a comfortable chase for us.

What does comfortable chase mean

 

[The cricket enthusiast]

after hitting that shot Moha reaction was like :
o God how many more time i have to do this over and over again to prove selectors that im worthless in all the facets.

 

[msb314]

Babar should nto look to slog now.

Only 5.8 RPO required - should play sensibly.

 

[IMMY69]

We should only be playing youngsters in T20's...

It's a criminal that we have players like Kamran, Tanvir, Malik and Hafeez playing T20's.

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Rameez saying kamran is carrying the extra responsibility of being a fielder which puts pressure on him. how dumb can you be rameez? When he was the keeper , he had pressure of keeping, now he has pressure of fielding. I think kami don should bring his couch with him in the ground and sit on it until its his turn to bat.

Rameez always licks when it comes to akmals and shehzads...not sure why

 

[Rayyman]

Yesss!!!!
Free hit!!!

Damnit good yorker.

 

[Madplayer]

Babar has looked poor today. I think he should just rotate the strike and not think about boundaries on this pathetic joke of a pitch.

 

[msb314]

Good ball that.

 

[super hitter]

Babar azam the legend

9 of 18

 

[Pete Rose]

Babar has looked poor today. I think he should just rotate the strike and not think about boundaries on this pathetic joke of a pitch.

Nothing to do with the pitch

 

[msb314]

Babar playing at a SR of 50

 

[The cricket enthusiast]

I said it after the toss that this XI can't chase at 6 RPO.

Kamran and Hafeez shouldnt have been in XI.

Nevertheless, Hafeez is going to be reported for his bowling action anyway.

atleast kamran dont waste balls.
im not even getting into his fielding though.

 

[Madplayer]

Grear running

 

[Rafay Shafiq]

Babar has looked poor today. I think he should just rotate the strike and not think about boundaries on this pathetic joke of a pitch.

Fact of the matter is he is not T20 player and so hafeez and Malik

 

[msb314]

What does comfortable chase mean

We will chase it down within an over or two to spare.

 

[Markhor]

West Indies' ineptitude in the field and loose bowling masking Pakistan's deficiencies here.

 

[Madplayer]

Nothing to do with the pitch

Everyone has struggled on this pitch. Its a bad t20 wicket.

 

[msb314]

Good pressure and running by Malik - deserved that extra run.

 

[Pete Rose]

I have a theory about babar Azam. He is a poor mans tendulkar of the 90's. Good enough to last out longer than mediocre fellow batsmen and score bucket of runs but never win much

 

[Rayyman]

Babar playing at a SR of 50

At least he is still there unlike Shehzad and co.

 

[The cricket enthusiast]

Pakistan has to select aggressive batsmen otherwise they are condemned. They should have brought junaid ali and awais zia on this tour

lol have u seen awais zia batting?
he is mayor of hackness.

 

[super hitter]

West Indies' ineptitude in the field and loose bowling masking Pakistan's deficiencies here.

they don't even have a single tight bowler, needs to import something

 

[world cup captain]

But what does that have to be with babar playing poorly

He is playing poorly because he is not looking to rotate the strike. If he focuses and looks to just tap it around, he will be more convincing which means he would play at run a ball.

 

[Pete Rose]

Everyone has struggled on this pitch. Its a bad t20 wicket.

No, that's an excuse. So far batsmen of poor pedigree (West Indies and our top 3) have struggled on this pitch

 

[Ellipsism]

Babar playing at a SR of 50

Better than Shezza

 

[Pete Rose]

He is playing poorly because he is not looking to rotate the strike. If he focuses and looks to just tap it around, he will be more convincing which means he would play at run a ball.

In summary playing poorly

 

[Madplayer]

Fact of the matter is he is not T20 player and so hafeez and Malik

One player like malik hafeez or babar has to be in the t20 side. I think babar is the best choice among them.

 

[Markhor]

they don't even have a single tight bowler, needs to import something

Badree is an economical bowler.

But Windies fumbling in the field and conceding of needless extras is something they cannot afford given they're defending such a low total.

 

[msb314]

Malik milking the singles easily.

 

[MMHS]

PAK always chase the target, doesn't bat to potential. Today, I am sure if the target was 140, on same pitch approach would have been different. Since Kamran, only one shot for a boyrndary was tried & obviously MoHa got out to that.

 

[msb314]

At least he is still there unlike Shehzad and co.

Better than Shezza

Yes - I will judge his innings when the game is over.

 

[world cup captain]

In summary playing poorly

Yes. He needs to get in the right mindset.

 

[Pete Rose]

lol have u seen awais zia batting?
he is mayor of hackness.

I have. Same as sharjeel when he started off. He was in the top5 aggregates in the recent departmental cup and scored at a higher runrate than most

 

[imshally81]

This isn't a T20 batting..

 

[Madplayer]

No, that's an excuse. So far batsmen of poor pedigree (West Indies and our top 3) have struggled on this pitch

Westindies are anything but poor t20 batsmen. If the wicket is good, they can murder the opposition. It is quite clear that this wicket isn't ideal for t20s. Not unplayable but certainly not a pitch where you can score too many boundaries.

Pakistan wouldnt have got 140.

 

[msb314]

haha Shadab falling asleep watching this innings.

If they were chasing 140 there is 90% probability they would lose

 

[Hamza_]

Beautiful from Malik.

West Indies play bilaterals poorly. That's not a surprise

 

[The cricket enthusiast]

I have. Same as sharjeel when he started off. He was in the top5 aggregates in the recent departmental cup and scored at a higher runrate than most

in his childhood days there was only runs on legside.

 

[Madplayer]

West Indies play bilaterals poorly. That's not a surprise

So u are saying this is a good t20 pitch??

 

[Dr_Bassim]

I reckon Malik has found his calling.

His best comes in bilaterals against Lanka, West Indies , Bangla etc with the odd knock vs India.

 

[MMHS]

Pakistan wouldnt have got 140.

I think, this partnership will win it in 19th over; had Malik came at 4, may be in 18th; which indicates a target of 140 is possible. But, sending Babar & MoHa at 3 & 4 would tske even a target of 90 till 16+ overs.

 

[Belawal2014]

The Windies commies know more about Pakistani players than our commies...

 

[Pete Rose]

So u are saying this is a good t20 pitch??

It's better then a 120 pitch. You are seeing two teams here: one is inept and the other is shameless

 

[msb314]

Pakistan wouldnt have got 140.

76-3 after 13 overs.

I think they probably would have - unless they lose a flurry of wickets now.

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Fakhar Zaman couldn't find a spot in THIS side???

hope hafeez fails repeatedly and lose his spot completely...Hope fakhar gets his chance in the all the three ODIs...

 

[Hamza_]

I reckon Malik has found his calling.

His best comes in bilaterals against Lanka, West Indies , Bangla etc with the odd knock vs India.

I think he has performed decently in recent times.

Had very good contributions in matches we won against England and Australia.

 

[Markhor]

I reckon Malik has found his calling.

His best comes in bilaterals against Lanka, West Indies , Bangla etc with the odd knock vs India.

Who can forget his cameos vs Zimbabwe ? Malik looks like Viv Richards against the likes of Chris Mpofu and Elton Chigumbura. You trust Malik to bash spin and weak pace attacks.

But we know he'll struggle against any decent pacer. Here, even Kesrick Williams is doing him for pace.

 

[Pete Rose]

I reckon Malik has found his calling.

His best comes in bilaterals against Lanka, West Indies , Bangla etc with the odd knock vs India.

And the asking runrate is around 5 to 6

 

[msb314]

It's better then a 120 pitch. You are seeing two teams here: one is inept and the other is shameless

hahaha which one is which?

 

[fasihulhaq94]

why does cricinfo let stupid comments through on live comentary?

 

[Pete Rose]

Any time there's a low total....

 

[Slog]

It's better then a 120 pitch. You are seeing two teams here: one is inept and the other is shameless

which one is which or is this a trick question?

 

[Pete Rose]

hahaha which one is which?

Pakistan owns inept

 

[Barragan]

Babar finally plays a shot

 

[Madplayer]

It's better then a 120 pitch. You are seeing two teams here: one is inept and the other is shameless

Pakistan are on course to score around 140+ had this been the first innings. Still a bad t20 wicket.

 

[msb314]

Good sensible batting - easy chase from here onwards.

 

[Pete Rose]

Pakistan are on course to score around 140+ had this been the first innings. Still a bad t20 wicket.

Nope

 

[Madplayer]

Nope

Okay bro

 

[world cup captain]

why does cricinfo let stupid comments through on live comentary?

For example?

 

[Slog]

Rarely has a t20 match induced this much sleep
