West Indies v Pakistan | 2nd ODI | Providence | April 9, 2017 | Pakistan Innings

[Hasan123]

Interesting move to bring Bishoo on

 

[mon858]

would have been good pitch to play asghar!!! man

 

[Rayyman]

Love seeing leg-spin!

 

[Syed1]

Lovely to see Hafeez get beaten.


Well done Bishoo keep it up

 

[Justcrazy]

Bishoo getting some turn

 

[Zeshan547]

This is 280 pitch at max, shadab alone can win it for pak here.

 

[imshally81]

Won't mind if Pakistan gets banned from playing cricket in order to preserve the quality of the game.

Thanks for coming....

 

[Syed1]

I'm sure Waqar will be telling us all about all the improvements Pakistan team needs to make as if he was innocently sitting and drinking lassi for 4 out of the last 6 years and never had the chance to make any changes.

[Mamoon]

Bishoo is more talented than Yasir.

 

[Syed1]

Hafeez trying to run out Babar. Pathetic.

 

[Hasan123]

Hafeez is an awful runner between the wickets

 

[Pete Rose]

I expect Pakistan to bowl much better today.

 

[Mamoon]

This is 280 pitch at max, shadab alone can win it for pak here.

The batting of Pakistan is no indication of what the par score is. As a general rule, add 100 runs to whatever score Pakistan gets after playing well, and 200 when they fail.

 

[Barragan]

I'll take a left hander as opener. Both openers gone today touching leg side wides, and these things will keep happening as long as there is no diversity is batting order. Not sure about Babar to open, but never Kam/Babar. I'll pick Babar/Haris or Babar/Talat at opener or replace Babar with Kam - but never 2 right handers. More or less, PAK is the weakest batting line up among top 9 teams against out-swing/Leg cutter and that's fed hopelessly by picking 1-4 right handed batsmen. It's so easy to bowl with 6-3 field & constantly keeping it at same channel. A better batting intelligent team would have put 2 lefties in top 4 to counter that away going threat. You don't expect that from Basit Ali standard ..........

Eng top 3 composes of RHB and they are doing very well

No. 4 is generally interchangeable between Morgan and Butler

 

[Syed1]

I expect Pakistan to bowl much better today.

And why is that?

 

[Hasan123]

Asghar maybe should have got a game. Looks like it may turn today.

 

[ExplicitAI]

Hafeez is killing the momentum here

 

[Syed1]

Pathetic Hafeez leaving ball after ball

 

[Pete Rose]

Hafeez's leaving the ball is validated. He leaves three to get one wide eventually. Smart cricketer.

 

[Markhor]

What's par score on this ground? Or is this a new laid pitch?

Before the new pitch it was 220. Guyana has historically been a terribly slow, low pitch - even Australia and South Africa were struggling here in last year's tri-series.

However this new pitch looks a belter. Still a bit slow as the ground is below sea level, but easier to time your shots and not as spin-friendly.

The curator said it looked a 250 pitch before the first match (they hadn't any chance to test how it plays before this series) - but it looks better than that to me.

 

[Syed1]

Nick and no slip. Dammit Holder

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Why is M Hafeez so lucky.

 

[ExplicitAI]

I actually see the end of Hafeez soon.

 

[Pete Rose]

Hafeez is killing the momentum here

There is no momentum.

 

[MMHS]

wait for hafiz marathon innings he will block first 60 deliveries...

He might be aggressive today - he is street smart. He knows why he is dropped down to No. 4 despite scoring 88 of 92.

 

[Citizen4]

the luck of Hafeez...

 

[srh]

Sarfraz should be batting at #4 or kick him out of the team

 

[Arsalan Pro]

57/2 in 13.

 

[mon858]

He might be aggressive today - he is street smart. He knows why he is dropped down to No. 4 despite scoring 88 of 92.

its not like they wouldn't have told him. i'm sure they told him why.

Yeah, I see it. Good value for shots type pitch. Largely true bounce

 

[Hasan123]

Hafeez is looking awful today. The PSL showed he was only on the decline and here is still playing.

Suprised he didn't get a test call up. Thankfully he didn't .

 

[JibranAnsari]

Pakistans bad luck continues..hafeez on 7

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan need rotation of strike.

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Bishoo bowling well.

 

[MMHS]

Eng top 3 composes of RHB and they are doing very well

No. 4 is generally interchangeable between Morgan and Butler

ENG top 3 are a little bit better in handling balls that leaves them. Besides, their top 2 bats at 100+ SR & their No. 3 plays away swing better than most left handers in contemporary world.

 

[JibranAnsari]

How dumb a captain could be if he does not have a slip against hafeez against pace

 

[Syed1]

Babar is not good against spin

 

[Pete Rose]

And why is that?

It's West Indies, they'll make our bowling good.

 

[Hasan123]

Bishoo is bowling well here.

 

[mon858]

Hafeez is looking awful today. The PSL showed he was only on the decline and here is still playing.

Suprised he didn't get a test call up. Thankfully he didn't .

dont even say that, someone will read it and send to pcb and as soon as misbah retires in he comes!

 

[Pete Rose]

The outside edge is hafeez's go to shot.

 

[Rayyman]

RR is too low

 

[Indiafan]

There is no momentum.

Yes because he murdered it and then buried its body

 

[mon858]

How dumb a captain could be if he does not have a slip against hafeez against pace

smart captaincy, better to keep hafeez till 40th over than to have sarfi or malk in

 

[Arsalan Pro]

61/2 in 14.

 

[Pete Rose]

Babar seems to be as good against spin as Umar Akmal.

 

[Citizen4]

Pakistani batting batsmen set to be featured in the next episode of ...

 

[jattafridi]

Chase gonna be very difficult

 

[JibranAnsari]

Babar batting @ under 70 sr.

 

[Justcrazy]

61 / 2

14 overs

 

[Syed1]

These Windies are playing the long game again. No pressure on Hafeez and letting him suck out the life of the innings so that they can go ahead and chase an easy target.



Quite a cunning bunch these lads

 

[waleed88]

I'm sure Waqar will be telling us all about all the improvements Pakistan team needs to make as if he was innocently sitting and drinking lassi for 4 out of the last 6 years and never had the chance to make any changes.

You don't talk about the strengths and weaknesses of every player live on camera, the opposition can pick it up esaily.. there are ethics to what should be said on tv, and what can't be revealed... the guy knows everything but he won't say it live on tv... commentary is generic you don't need to give alot of insight.. specially for someoen who has been a part of the dressing room

 

[Pete Rose]

Yes because he murdered it and then buried its body

Post match presser:
We had lost two quick wickets
Pitch is difficult to bat
I decide to anchor innings.

 

[Hasan123]

Sarfraz should have come in. At least we would be getting smiles if he was there.

 

[Arsalan Pro]

M Hafeez 9 of 16.

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Babar is not good against spin

yeah he is a batter player of fast bowling. thats why the case for him to open with Haris at 3 and Sarfi at 4.

 

[Pete Rose]

Hafeez ensuring we stay not out overnight, can come and bat out tomorrow.

 

[Rayyman]

These Windies are playing the long game again. No pressure on Hafeez and letting him suck out the life of the innings so that they can go ahead and chase an easy target.



Quite a cunning bunch these lads

Steven Smith and Aussies used the same tactic in the last series.

 

[Syed1]

yeah he is a batter player of fast bowling. thats why the case for him to open with Haris at 3 and Sarfi at 4.

Good luck dropping Hafeez he is Mickey's favourite

 

[MMHS]

Hafeez is looking awful today. The PSL showed he was only on the decline and here is still playing.

Suprised he didn't get a test call up. Thankfully he didn't .

He will - after both seniors retire, he'll come back & bat at 4. If Sarfu struggles, he'll lead PAK in Test.

 

[Barragan]

ENG top 3 are a little bit better in handling balls that leaves them. Besides, their top 2 bats at 100+ SR & their No. 3 plays away swing better than most left handers in contemporary world.

So, you wouldn't mind a top 3 of rhb if the quality was available?

 

[super hitter]

AND WHY ON EARTH

is Malik in the team if you have to send him after a bunch of tuk tuks have completed there quota's...Do you seriously expect a Don Bradman coming from him?

 

[Arsalan Pro]

M Hafeez drops his bat.

 

[mon858]

a quick single, and hafeez smiling as if that was the biggest mistake in the world

 

[shaz619]

Wow did you guys see that hafeez highlight reel just now, imagine him like that in the Champions Trophy in a few months time; astaghfirullah

 

[imshally81]

Welcome boundary

 

[Sarfarazian92]

Hafeez ko run out karwao

 

[Hasan123]

Babar and Hafeez playing 2 completely games.

 

[Arsalan Pro]

4.

 

[Mamoon]

Pakistan is cricket version of Chinese water torture.

 

[Pete Rose]

Hafeez ramping short delivery to third mans with the a strength of a lifetime vegetarian

 

[Syed1]

Shooooooooooooooooooooooooootttt

 

[IAJ]

Class Babar

 

[Justcrazy]

68 . 2

 

[Citizen4]

:

 

[QalandarFan]

to go into drinks

 

[Syed1]

Walton ke brakein fail hain

 

[Pete Rose]

If they want to trouble babar they need to get the ball shorter. He can pull, can't hook

 

[Rayyman]

Babar batting @ under 70 sr.

81 now

 

[Pete Rose]

Pakistan building up slowly and steadily, West Indies should be worried.
