[Badsha]

Haha Misbah trying to reverse sweep a googly. Epic.

 

[sam]

Same shot next ball. Zero runs this time.

 

[Watsupdoc]

Misbah SR = 90

 

[NJamal]

May be its tough to bat on that wicket. I am not watching the telecast. But if it doesnt have much to do with the conditions then i would say its not a very fine chase. You're building a team for the future. The guys need to be taught how to maintain that pace regardless of the small target. Practice already for the bigger ones

wicket is bit slow ... outfield is slow ..

ahmed shehzad getting back his form . nearing his 100

but ... we score 220 in 40 overs in the last game ... just 2 days back

so its not necessary to score the same score in same number of overs

we can play according to situation ..

inshallah we will finish the game ..

 

[Bhaijaan]

How has Shehzad played today ?

 

[attock]

I think Misbah should retire so Hammad can bat

 

[pakistan_pride1]

take thed power play now

 

[NJamal]

Bravo back

 

[adnan yasin]

45 of 53

 

[cricfan4ever]

I hope today's innings silences all the critics of Shehzad...if the innings against NZ wasn't proof enough of his talent, than today his application should solidify his potential...

 

[iRfaN_LA]

cmon misbah ....rotate the strike !!!!

 

[Looney]

should be funny if does not let :ahmed score his maiden 100

 

[Badsha]

Single took with two balls remaining. Take a single Shehzad. Want to see you at the other end

The pitch looks pretty good to bat on. Shehzad has always struggled against the spinners and same was the case today. They squeezed the life out of him. It also might be due to uncertainty surrounding is place in the side.. the selfish approach to the innings coming in ...

However;


When you are building a team, dominated by youngsters, for the future, the first step is to adopt a winning habit. Learn to chase targets with mature knocks. Not to throw wickets away. It is only at the later stages when you look to demolish the opposition by knocking off the target well before 50 overs

You're right too though. The focus here is more on doing the basics right rather than trying to be flashy. Good stuff. I think you guys would be happy to see your team chase a big total next time , just to see how they go now that you are 2-nill ahead

 

[sam]

It won't be his maiden hundred.

 

[ddss]

I see a changed ideology here . Dangerous

 

[Nice-N-Fresh]

This will be Shehzad's second 100

 

[harrisaslam100]

sammy runs in and misbah smacks it down the ground for 1

 

[Badsha]

Get your hundred now Shehzad!

 

[Statsman]

Make a out of Sammy, I mean TONK HIM!!

 

[NJamal]

Shahzad on 97

 

[Inswinger]

Don't jinx him peeps.

 

[Bhaijaan]

He has showed he's going to be our Sehwag.


Except maybe even better.

Is he really playing that good?? The strike rate is showing otherwise

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Misbah tuk tuk

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Aint watching the game folks but keep me updated...

 

[Hamxa89]

How has Shehzad played today ?

Started poorly. Had a testing time against the spinners. Finally got some rhythm against the fast bowlers. Biggest positive was that he didn't throw his wicket away.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Good hundrd by youngsta beauty

 

[harrisaslam100]

this will be shehzad's second 100

haha yeah second hundred but no 50s. Haha oposite to the senior on the other side

 

[sam]

Misbah must get out just for the lulz.

 

[iRfaN_LA]

do we have to take it to the last over?

 

[harrisaslam100]

Good hundrd by youngsta beauty

he hasnt made it yet

 

[Badsha]

Misbah trying his best!

 

[attock]

partnership 51 of 58 balls

 

[NJamal]

[Statsman]

Good hundrd by youngsta beauty

[adnan yasin]

Can we please take the power play

 

[Batman]

Pakistan | 2/184 | 43 Overs | Need 37 runs to win from 42 balls

5 off the over!

Good sign, haven't even watched him play once. The kid has it in him to score those hundreds . Special

 

[adnan yasin]

37 from 42 balls

Can we please take the power play

 

[On_the_up]

Shehzad the last century maker for Pakistan in ODIs

Looking to do it again.

 

[pakistan_pride1]

is back

 

[deadly_man2]

Misbah can play so many dot balls in middle of the over. But on the last ball of every over, he has to take singals

 

[On_the_up]

AS on strike 2 for his ton.

 

[On_the_up]

moves to 99

 

[Bhaijaan]

Shehzad cements his place for next 20 matches?

 

[Statsman]

In a match where all bowlers bowled economically
Sammy : 10-0-52-0
Why did he have to bowl his full quota of 10?

 

[ddss]

2 more for AS

 

[adnan yasin]

Ahmed shehzad can you score your hundred so that we can take power play

 

[MR__KHAN__JI]

Comfortable!

 

[ddss]

1 more: AS

 

[attock]

99 for ahmed

 

[Hamxa89]

Good sign, haven't even watched him play once. The kid has it in him to score those hundreds . Special

What I'd love to see him do is knock the ball around in the middle overs and get those singles.. beat the fielders in the ring and keep the scoreboard ticking. That didn't happen today..

That is what seems lacking. Either its a boundary or a block..

 

[Amjid Javed]

shehzad onto 99*

 

[pakistan_pride1]

shahzad on 99

 

[Hasnain_786]

Hopefully Hafeez can take a note from Shezzy's batting

 

[MR__KHAN__JI]

Ramiz

"Mature innings...."

After Destroying him earlier

 

[iRfaN_LA]

torture !!! Take PP please !!!!!

 

[On_the_up]

AS back on strike, 1 run away.
