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

This latest all-rounder syndrome will cost Mickey his job. Absolutely no reason to play Imad in ODI & Nawaz in Test just for the sake of it. I don't think WI has the batting to chase 240 against 20 overs of Asghar & Shadab here.

Nawaz is ordinary, his batting is a disaster
 
The difference between West Indies and Pakistan is that West Indians still dream about playing with flair but are held back by limited talent. Pakistan on the other hand realize they have limited talent and hence have limited ambitions.

Asghar could have played instead of Junaid.
 
Just look at the pace of this pitch...Imad hit the same shots against Starc and Hazlewood over 80 m boundaries. Over here he can't even clear inner circle.
:viv

well if he cant clear inner circle he can rotate, what is he doing playing a maiden 41st over... admit the mediocrity... once a fan doesnt have to be a fan always bro....when they become poor, time to move on...
 
If its the same pitch then we are ahead other wise not, expecting some good bowling from Pakistan
 
I don't understand the team's hesitation in sending Shadab before Imad. It is so painfully obvious. Shadab looks a much better batsman than Imad. Our batting order is so frustrating.
 
Given the way this pitch has behaved we've made a big mistake not playing Asghar.
 
I think I am not the only who is just irritated by Imad's presence. I feel a bit of schadenfreude when he fails, which he does a lot these days. Very unlikable for me.
 
They have the batting power to excel in this era. In the last two weeks, two different batsmen have scored 50 ball 90's. If one batsman - let alone two - does that in Pakistan, a 3 day national holiday will be declared.
If Carlos Brathwaite was Pakistani, I'm sure he'd be rated ahead of players like Marsh and Buttler by most the PP geniuses.
 
Asghar could have played instead of Junaid.

Actually Imad doesn't offer much in ODI. If JK isn't picked, that means Hasan will take new ball. Ideally, Talat should have been brought here to bowl few overs with new ball & then they could have played 2 specialist spinners. With 2 ball, it's risky to go with 2 pacers only.
 
This Holder guy is dumbest that I have seen. He has 3 overs left & this is 46th over.
 
Babar must get his strike rate to 95, ideally 100 if he is to end this innings on a decent note
 
Dont understand the hate Imad gets. Give the man some time. He's done it before and he'll do it again. He's here to stay.
 
I think you need to give more time to guys like imad and nawaz and move on from these mid 30 averaging senior cricketers.

Imad is at best a low 30 averaging junior cricketer. Replacing garbage with garbage isn't really smart.
 
Come on lads we can push this to 300! all you to do is Bolieve!
 
Waqar showing ignorance of domestic scene.

Speaking of pace bowling all rounders - there was one named Aamer Yamin. He scored one fifty in three ODIs, did nothing wrong but you dropped him from the squad.

Instead we persisted with pseudo ARs like Anwar Ali and Bilawal Bhatti.
 
Babar's innings for Pakistan about to start.

Father forgives him for he has is a newbie unlike Hafeez, on top of that his S/R in general tends to be fine but just having someone like Hafeez in the line up pretty much handicaps the top order
