[Madplayer]

Lets get it poppin' yo.

Looking forward to some Babar blitz :

 

[Markhor]

Been a long time since I've seen us play in the West Indies.

Obviously the selections of Hafeez, Shehzad and Kamran has left many disappointed, but there's nothing we can do about it now. They wouldn't be here if it wasn't for Sharjeel and Latif's indiscretions. Time to get behind the team - looking forward to seeing Shadab and Raees.

Hoping to see more than comfort zone cricket from us, i.e. crawling to 130-140 and bullying WI with spin. We'll have learnt nothing. All CPL games last season produced at least one total above 170 in Bridgetown so that should be our aim.

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

I want Shadab and Raees to start.

I will feel physical pain when I watch Kami come out to bat. Other than that we have a good team.

 

[last_knight]

If they don't play Hafeez and Akmal, playing XI can be pretty decent.

Babar, Shehzad and Fakhar should be top 3. With Sarfaraz and Malik at 4/5.

 

[IAJ]

Watching pre match show on PTV Sports and once again Dr Nauman quoting [MENTION=9]Saj[/MENTION] bhai's tweets regarding travel expenses of PCB's admins.

 

[Justcrazy]

kamran again comes back into the team .

 

[Shafi]

What will happen if both Hafeez and Kamran fail 4 matches in row? Will Inzamam still persists with them in ODI and let them play another 3 matches?

 

[Syed1]

What an exciting line up we will put out with the likes of Shehzad, Kami, Hafeez and Malik.


Thank you Inzi

 

[Syed1]

UK PP'ers have led me astray. I am watching Sky Sports Mix and no signs of PAK vs WI at the moment. They are showing some B-Ball.

 

[shahidafridi123]

PAK won the toss and chose to bowl.

 

[Sarfarazian92]

UK PP'ers have led me astray. I am watching Sky Sports Mix and no signs of PAK vs WI at the moment. They are showing some B-Ball.

They're probably not showing the pre-match stuff.

 

[Shafi]

What an exciting line up we will put out with the likes of Shehzad, Kami, Hafeez and Malik.


Thank you Inzi

Only Malik deserve to play among these 4 players.

 

[Sarfarazian92]

Good to see Pakistan departing from the bat-first no matter what mentality.

 

[Shafi]

Latif is advocating Kamran, Shehzad and Hafeez as top players. Such a hopeless person

 

[Hasan123]

UK PP'ers have led me astray. I am watching Sky Sports Mix and no signs of PAK vs WI at the moment. They are showing some B-Ball.

Coverage starts at 5 25pm . The game starts at 5 30pm.

 

[Shafi]

Only 3 reliable players from top 6

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan will bowl first !

 

[Syed1]

Latif is advocating Kamran, Shehzad and Hafeez as top players. Such a hopeless person

He is the same guy who was crying hoarse for the selection of Khurram Manzoor at one time.

Ishi se andaza laga lein

 

[Justcrazy]

Playing hafeez and kamran again is a big mistake.

 

[Hasan123]

What is the line up for today than?

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

Truly awful that proffesor is considered an automatic pic

 

[Sarfarazian92]

Roman Reigns benched

 

[Justcrazy]

I hope shadab wins a man of the match here.

 

[Markhor]

What an exciting line up we will put out with the likes of Shehzad, Kami, Hafeez and Malik.


Thank you Inzi

More like thank you Sharjeel and Latif for palling around with bookies.

 

[Sarfarazian92]

Sarfraz shouldn't bat below 5

 

[Syed1]

More like thank you Sharjeel and Latif for palling around with bookies.

Yeah keep defending Inzi.

 

[Pakpak]

Ahmed Shehzad, Kamran Akmal, Babar Azam, Mohammad Hafeez, Sarfraz Ahmed, Shoaib Malik, Imad Wasim, Shadab Khan, Sohail Tanvir, Wahab Riaz, Hasan Ali

 

[MMHS]

Fakhar & Raees benched for MoHa & Tanvir ...............

 

[Shafi]

Anything over 130 will be too much considering we have tuk tuk Shehzad. Really really upset with Inzi.We should get rid of him as soon as possible

 

[Syed1]

No Fakhar Zaman, no Ruman Raees automatic selection for Hafeez, Tanvir and Shehzad.


Thank you Inzi, Sarfaraz and Mickey

 

[Barragan]

Hopefully, Malik bats at no. 4 and not no. 6 because he is by far the best T20 batsman in this dreadful line up.

Him and Kami will be crucial.

 

[Syed1]

Building a team for the future with Kami, Hafeez, Malik and Tanvir. Mashallah.

 

[Justcrazy]

West Indies Team

E Lewis, CAK Walton†, MN Samuels, LMP Simmons, KA Pollard, R Powell, CR Brathwaite*, JO Holder, SP Narine, S Badree, KOK Williams

Pakistan Team

Ahmed Shehzad, Kamran Akmal, Babar Azam, Mohammad Hafeez, Sarfraz Ahmed*†, Shoaib Malik, Imad Wasim, Shadab Khan, Sohail Tanvir, Wahab Riaz, Hasan Ali

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

Pakistan Playing XI:
Ahmed Shehzad, Kamran Akmal, Babar Azam, Mohammad Hafeez, Shoaib Malik, Sarfraz Ahmed(w & c), Imad Wasim, Shadab Khan, Sohail Tanvir, Wahab Riaz, Hasan Ali

Makes you want to puke

Seniority again is more important than performance , proffesor and Tanvir given another chances despite having awful psls

 

[world cup captain]

Yeah keep defending Inzi.

Who else could he have picked? We don't exactly have quality openers lined up waiting to get picked. Those two idiots indulged in fixing and now Kami and Shezi have crawled back.

 

[Hasan123]

Raees should have played. And Fakhar as well. Other than that the team isn't bad.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Building a team for the future with Kami, Hafeez, Malik and Tanvir. Mashallah.

It could be worse.

Misbah and Younis you know.

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Watching the match for Shadab, Sarfi, Babar, and Hasan.

 

[Hasan123]

Fakhar & Raees benched for MoHa & Tanvir ...............

At least you get your wish of Shadab batting at 8.

 

[Madplayer]

Roman Reigns benched

Thats pathetic to say the least.

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

And if professor and Tanvir do well in one game which they often do to book themselves a spot, people will say we have no young players

 

[Syed1]

Who else could he have picked? We don't exactly have quality openers lined up waiting to get picked. Those two idiots indulged in fixing and now Kami and Shezi have crawled back.

Babar is good enough to do the opener's job and Fakhar should have been the second opener. Selecting Shehzad and Kami just because Sharjeel and Latif messed up is not a good enough reason.

 

[Jabo]

Lol

Shocking XI

 

[Madplayer]

I wish tanvir gets smashed for 100 runs in 4 overs but Pakistan still wins the match. :

 

[Boi]

Hoping for a good game and that WI show more spine than they did in T20 series in the UAE.

 

[Pakpak]

No Fakhar Zaman, no Ruman Raees automatic selection for Hafeez, Tanvir and Shehzad.


Thank you Inzi, Sarfaraz and Mickey

Unbelievable isn;t it. Add Farhat and we have half the team as the Champions Trophy last time

 

[Barragan]

I would have liked to seen Raees playing today ahead of riaz.

Tanvir knows these wickets well and has been a huge success in the CPL, so his experience will help here.

 

[Markhor]

Fakhar & Raees benched for MoHa & Tanvir ...............

Seniorstan Zindabad.

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

At least you get your wish of Shadab batting at 8.

He will probably bat at 9 as we have that legend that is Sohail Sobers

 

[Sarfarazian92]

Hafeez ka naam sun ke ulti aati hai

 

[Hasan123]

Raees omission is baffling. He is a good t20 bowler.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Gonna have to play well to beat these guys. This isn't gonna be like the UAE series

 

[Syed1]

Hoping for a good game and that WI show more spine than they did in T20 series in the UAE.

Hope that our oldies XI are able to show spine. I'm not worried about the Windies they have selected a team on merit unlike us.

 

[hadi123]

I am absolutely livid that Hafeez is playing over Zaman but I am not even surprised. I said to my dad Zaman should play and Hafeez should be benched but we all know Hafeez will never be left out. Fuming, at least we get to see Shadab Khan though

 

[Markhor]

Unbelievable isn;t it. Add Farhat and we have half the team as the Champions Trophy last time

Wasn't Hafeez, Shehzad and Kamran the top order in the 2011 WC ?

Pakistan have truly mastered the art of time travel.

 

[Justcrazy]

12 mins left !

 

[dauntless]

Would love to see w.indies winning this one pak's batting line up is boring even narine is better than most of so called batsmen in Pak's team

 

[Hasan123]

He will probably bat at 9 as we have that legend that is Sohail Sobers

Seniority zindbad

 

[Syed1]

What if we suffer a shocking defeat would that mean wholesale changes for the next match? I don't think so... Mickey has shown that he loves to play TTFs as well.

 

[Justcrazy]

Its sickening to see hafeez coming back again and again

 

[Pakpak]

Wasn't Hafeez, Shehzad and Kamran the top order in the 2011 WC ?

Pakistan have truly mastered the art of time travel.

You're right, goodness sake. Unbelievable stuff

 

[Madplayer]

Seriously can believe this crap. Inzi has proved to be clueless as a selector. I just hope Sarfaraz is unhappy with the squad at the very least.

 

[world cup captain]

Babar is good enough to do the opener's job and Fakhar should have been the second opener. Selecting Shehzad and Kami just because Sharjeel and Latif messed up is not a good enough reason.

Don't get me wrong, I agree that Babar should do the opening job with Fakhar. However, that's too much to ask from a Pakistani think tank. They like their traditional "specialists" and therefore "specialists openers" had to be picked. The only options were Kami and Shezi.

 

[Manager101]

The regular history of "certified domestic bullies" suggests that Ahmed Shehzad, Kamran Akmal and Hafeez will perform today against the mighty Windies and book their spots for next 2 years and remain below-average against top teams.

 

[Hasan123]

Hafeez has no business in t20s, his record is rubbish and in the PSL he was rubbish for the most part.

 

[Markhor]

Hope that our oldies XI are able to show spine. I'm not worried about the Windies they have selected a team on merit unlike us.

The difference between our oldies and their oldies is that least their seniors have two T20 WCs to their name

Our seniors have nothing but consistent failure and choking to their name.

WI haven't picked Gayle and Bravo though.

 

[godzilla]

Truly awful that proffesor is considered an automatic pic

he wasn't, he only made the squad once ukmal failed the fitness test otherwise he wouldn't have been selected.

 

[adzzy786]

How i wish sharjeel was still playing

 

[Rayyman]

Bring it on WI!

 

[adzzy786]

Does anyone know which channel will be showing the cricket match in the UK? I can't find it anywhere

 

[world cup captain]

"My goal is to play the 2019 World Cup, which is in Australia," Shoiab Malik says. Poor guy has no idea

 

[Yatoo]

Hafeez over Zaman.
) ) )

 

[Pakistani Pace]

So hyped! But Sarfraz just said Sohail tanvir is a power hitter? Lol

 

[Pete Rose]

I cannot root for this team.
On point, because West Indies batting is hapless, Pakistan's rubbish batting will not be challenged.

 

[Madplayer]

The regular history of "certified domestic bullies" suggests that Ahmed Shehzad, Kamran Akmal and Hafeez will perform today against the mighty Windies and book their spots for next 2 years and remain below-average against top teams.

Saint inzi is doing a wonderful job of taking Pakistan back to 2011. Pathetic stuff to say the least. In every series some fans want the team to lose hoping that in next series the ttfs would be dropped. Instead, another batch of ttfs are selected in their place.

 

[Syed1]

Anything over 140 and it will be too much for Kami, Shehzad and Hafeez

 

[godzilla]

im not annoyed at hafeez over zaman, I don't have high conviction but though zaman was a hack from what I saw, and at least you get some off spin to use when wahab and tanvir get smashed all over the place.

I am annoyed at wahab over rumman though, although I suspect they will use all the bowlers during the series.

 

[in_cutter]

Mashallah...team is full of TTF's.

 

[last_knight]

Only interest left is to see Hassan Ali bowling and Shadab batting.

Otherwise excuse me, this XI can't chase at even 6 RPO.

Good in a way that Sarfaraz has an opportunity to learn his lessons before ODIs.
