[godzilla]

what odds are you giving it? 230 I thought was supposed to be par for the old pitches, which this seems to have become after the third game on it. given out bowling is supposed to be our strong suit, and our batting is sub par, id have to give it advantage windies 55-45..

 

[Slog]

Have a bad feeling

Exactly the kind of seemingly straightforward chase which Pakistan has royally messed up so many times over the years

 

[Citizen4]

I hope the openers play a little bit aggressively, don't start a tuk-tuk marathon

 

[Syed1]

It is Babar or bust. If Babar fails we are not going to chase this.

 

[Madplayer]

Pak needs to kill the game in first 15 overs when the ball is hard. After it gets soft, it will be hard to score on this pitch. Ball is turning a lot and bishoo thrives on such pitches.

 

[Sports_Psychologist]

It is Babar or bust. If Babar fails we are not going to chase this.

Have some patience man .. Shehzad, Hafeez, Kamran, Malik want to go to ICC Championstrophy so they'll play the innings that'll save the next tour.

 

[zn426]

Strike rotation will be vital especially with three spinners playing.

We keep complaining about our "Accumulators XI", time to see if they can accumulate a win just on strike rotation here.

 

[Abdullah]

this aint gna be easy
need a good start and keep the run rate at 4-5 throughout.
50-1 after 10 else there is big trouble

 

[Belawal2014]

Veerasammy Permaul to win the series for WI.

 

[Ellipsism]

Kami...

 

[Hasan Cheema]

Golden ball duck

 

[IMMY69]

Finally the end of Kamran?

 

[fasihulhaq94]

lol Kami

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Finally the end of Kamran?

Got 6 chances instead of 3 still didn't do anything.

 

[MMHS]

What sort of shot is that?

 

[IMMY69]

Got 6 chances instead of 3 still didn't do anything.

Too many chances as far as I'm concerned.

No way he should have been taken to the Windies...

 

[arehaan]

Kamran is such a waste of a batting slot. Inzi the genius

Garbage in equals garbage out

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

Let that be the end, please

However I'll be dead honest, I'd rather kami than Azhar or butt

Pls replace him with a hack not a blocker

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

Perfect platform for Shezzy. Score 60-65 runs and strike rate of 70 and secure the place in the team. Hope he plays with full concentration. Babar is the key here as well.

 

[On_the_up]

What sort of shot is that?

His copy of the MCC coaching manual had a few misprints.

 

[last_knight]

[MENTION=79064]MMHS[/MENTION]

4th day pitch, first you select 3 spinners and then bat first.

 

[shaz619]

What sort of shot is that?

He was trying to rotate the strike that too against a new ball, in the 1st delivery of the innings

 

[On_the_up]

Some people will be hoping Babar plays at least one ball for the team, which should result in a Pak win.

 

[IMMY69]

Let that be the end, please

However I'll be dead honest, I'd rather kami than Azhar or butt

Pls replace him with a hack not a blocker

Why do he have to go back to tried and tested failures? Why not move forward and just pick a youngster.

No excuses about CT in England either..

2009 we won the cup with a rookie opening the batting and a rookie batting at 6 or 7,
Namely Shezhab and Fawad

 

[Hamza_]

Bishop is very technical.

 

[srh]

Ideally Babar should not come into bat in the first 6 overs

 

[Hasan Cheema]

chase is going nowhere, we have already messed with it

 

[ask_analyse_act]

avg 20 opener gone for a duck... after 7 chances including the t20s if he cant score against WI which is ranked below pak at the moment, what can he do against top opposition.. get rid of all the akmals and put them in their place where they belong to which is the domestics only....

I never wanted Kami , but once in I wanted him to succeed despite all logic. he should be out but I fear he will be replaced by another ttf, with the excuse being you can't test a youngster in the ct.

 

[Ellipsism]

Shehzad doing what he does best.

 

[Madplayer]

Babar to score atleast 2 boundaries in this over.

 

[last_knight]

Got 6 chances instead of 3 still didn't do anything.

One series/tour is 1 chance.

Or may be he was saying it to oppositions to give him three chances in 1 innings.

As i have been mentioning, Akmals quote from a different unuque-to-them dictionary.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Maidens galore...

 

[NauV]

Ian Bishop for me is one of the best commentators going around. Great mind, great analysis and very articulate! . .

 

[Pete Rose]

If you can only have one ttf up the order who do you chose: kamran or shehzad

 

[Citizen4]

thanks to Kami, now we will watch a tuk tuk marathon for the next few hours

 

[fasihulhaq94]

lol wth straight into each other

 

[Madplayer]

I never wanted Kami , but once in I wanted him to succeed despite all logic. he should be out but I fear he will be replaced by another ttf, with the excuse being you can't test a youngster in the ct.

Kamran is an okay option tbh. Its just that he will fail in all meaningful pressure games.

 

[MMHS]

14 balls and a wide, then almost a run out ............. chasing 233. this is called panic ...

 

[IMMY69]

Shezhad ball watching. Gets smacked on the nut.

Maybe this will wake him up

 

[fasihulhaq94]

hahahhaa imad laughing

 

[srh]

wow Pakistanis are so funny ) ) )

 

[coy0607]

that was hilarious

should've clocked Selfie

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Bhaag Shezzy Bhaag

 

[IMMY69]

If you can only have one ttf up the order who do you chose: kamran or shehzad

Shezhad, because he's younger and can field

 

[Madplayer]

Shehzad the king of dots and collisions.

 

[zacattakk]

No stretcher this time?

 

[MMHS]

He was trying to rotate the strike that too against a new ball, in the 1st delivery of the innings

Which was almost leg side wide. You need special skills to lob that to short cover.

 

[Madplayer]

Shehzad dropped )

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

Kamran is an okay option tbh. Its just that he will fail in all meaningful pressure games.

I'm sure if we give awais zia a few games he took could average 26. Plus he won't cost us in the field . Like I said before I'd rather Kami than Azhar or Butt, that isn't saying much though

 

[Ellipsism]

Shehzad the king of dots and collisions.

Surprised he didn't call for an ambulance again

 

[Citizen4]

dropped on 0

 

[ExpressPacer]

Yaarr. Shezzy would've been gone on a duck!

 

[ExpressPacer]

Surprised he didn't call for an ambulance again

) Drama queen

 

[Asif321]

oh god ahmed and kami are worst opening pair a team could have

 

[Madplayer]

Shehzad the king of dots and collisions.

Surprised he didn't call for an ambulance again

He almost began the drama once again

 

[Ellipsism]

Shehzad is the epitome of mediocrity.

At the very least Kamran has some scoring shots but Shehzad is simply a limited hack who has fooled this entire nation into thinking he has talent.

 

[Madplayer]

They ruined nauman anwar. He looked a million dollar when i first saw him. Domestic Coaches worked with him and ruined him.

 

[imshally81]

Good running

 

[ExplicitAI]

quality batsman

 

[Executioner]

How did mid on drop the catch. West indies fielding is poor.

Babar stands in the way. Man Pakistan would be so poor without this lad

 

[Madplayer]

Good batting by babar 2 fours in a row.

 

[Pete Rose]

Shezhad, because he's younger and can field

Rizwan can do that better for the same runs.

 

[imshally81]

 

[Madplayer]

Shehzad :

TTFs will be TTFs

 

[Syed1]

If you guys weren't nervous yet just remember who the next batsman is

 

[Ellipsism]

Thank God, Shehzad gone.

 

[ask_analyse_act]

babar showing shehzad this is how u play shots... hope the arrogant tailunt watches from the non-striker end...couldnt complete what i write, he is gone...

 

[ExplicitAI]

Shehzad fails AGAIN

 

[Syed1]

Have a bad feeling

Exactly the kind of seemingly straightforward chase which Pakistan has royally messed up so many times over the years

Slog might be onto something here..

 

[mon858]

Sarfraz should have taken some responsibility and come at number 4 today

 

[wasimjunior]

Never want to see this guy in a Pakistan shirt again

 

[Madplayer]

If you guys weren't nervous yet just remember who the next batsman is

Botched up chase already. You were right. Its either babar or bust.

 

[ExplicitAI]

This is why we miss Sharjeel so much.

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Kami and Shehzad should be dropped for next series.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Kamran's 3 chances as an opener are over..should be out of the team now.

 

[Pete Rose]

In each of the three matches at least one of the openers has been dropped. This opening partnership is going to get a lot of rest at the CT

 

[ExplicitAI]

Watch Hafeez ruin the run chase now

 

[IMMY69]

Rizwan can do that better for the same runs.

Sorry I thought it was choice between Akmal and Shezhad...

Personally, I'd pick a few youngsters to replace Akmal, Shezhad and Hafeez and let them just get on with it.

Look at Windies, they're bossing us with an inexperienced team.

So we lose a few games but the look st the benefits long term.
