West Indies v Pakistan | 3rd ODI | Providence | April 11, 2017 | Pakistan Innings

[TahirFan]

Hafeez looking good today. I just have this hunch that he will score a century today

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Maiden over.

 

[Dios]

Maiden for Bishoo. Tightening the screws but need wickets as well.

 

[MRSN]

Malik vs Hafeez. Who plays the spin better chapter to be closed today.

 

[Dios]

So Shadab went for 7+ an over on this pitch?

 

[Barragan]

4

 

[Ellipsism]

So Shadab went for 7+ an over on this pitch?

Bowled poorly today.

Maiden for Bishoo. Tightening the screws but need wickets as well.

would love to see your face when boundary is hit

 

[ads101]

Malik vs Hafeez. Who plays the spin better chapter to be closed today.

Malik plays it better no question. Hafeez used to be a bit better against Malik against pace though.

 

[Hasan Cheema]

These two are senior player, chance for them to cement place (when the debate about getting rid of seniors is taking tool)

 

[Rayyman]

So Shadab went for 7+ an over on this pitch?

He is a young leggie. Still, picked up 2 wickets for an average of 28.5 in the match.

 

[Dios]

Need to break this partnership asap. It's only hacks to come after this.

 

[Yaasir]

Excellent running from Malik.

 

[Arsalan Pro]

76/3 in 17.

 

[Hasan Cheema]

Playing 3rd spinner was blessing in disguise for Pakistan. leaking runs

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Need to break this partnership asap. It's only hacks to come after this.

Nurse is dangerous.

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Nurse into the attack.

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Good bowling.

 

[Rayyman]

Need to break this partnership asap. It's only hacks to come after this.

Sarfraz is one of the best in the world against spin.

Who cares if he is a hack? This isn't a Test match.

 

[Dios]

That looked plumb. Why didn't they review it?

 

[Barragan]

Hafeez got away with that one

It was out

 

[ExplicitAI]

Oh c'mon man how you missing the ball

 

[Arsalan Pro]

M Hafeez was Out, chance missed by not reviewing.

 

[Hasan Cheema]

When no body is commenting about Hafeez, indicates he is playing superbly

 

[Markhor]

This performance is convincing noone. Even if we win tonight, Pakistan's deficiencies are glaring as we head into the Champions Trophy.

 

[Dios]

Sarfraz is one of the best in the world against spin.

Who cares if he is a hack? This isn't a Test match.

I don't think Sarfaraz and/or Imad can see Pakistan through if there's still 100+ runs needed when they come in to bat. They can get the job done by slogging if there's 60-70 runs to get.

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Play all of Nurse over for 20 runs.
Just dont give him wicket.

 

[super hitter]

When no body is commenting about Hafeez, indicates he is playing superbly

Now it seems like these two will do what Younis Misbah did for the test side

 

[Pete Rose]

This performance by Hafeez makes me very unhappy

 

[ask_analyse_act]

When no body is commenting about Hafeez, indicates he is playing superbly

he was pumped up early on by jason and he is looking like winning the match on his own ... He will score a ton today...

 

[Barragan]

Excellent sweep by Malik

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Malik sweeps it for 4.

 

[Syed1]

I used to be a HUGE hater of Malik but he has won me over, over the cross of the last year or so.

 

[Arsalan Pro]

85/3 in 19.

 

[Pete Rose]

This performance is convincing noone. Even if we win tonight, Pakistan's deficiencies are glaring as we head into the Champions Trophy.

Yup. To remind, these two seniors played a 'matchwinning' hand to win a match against Australia when we were chasing a low total. They failed the other four odis because the going was tough

 

[marlonbrowndo]

It's not gonna be easy but I think we'll chase it

 

[IMMY69]

60/40 to Pakistan

 

[Pete Rose]

I used to be a HUGE hater of Malik but he has won me over, over the cross of the last year or so.

Don't let go so easily. If the alarm bells did not ring basis his performance in Australia, he will certainly re-earn your hate after the CT

 

[Arsalan Pro]

50 partnership.

 

[super hitter]

Yup. To remind, these two seniors played a 'matchwinning' hand to win a match against Australia when we were chasing a low total. They failed the other four odis because the going was tough

And Malik Sarfi chased a 300+ target against England in England, which has probably never been done before

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Good to see these 2 rotating the strike.

 

[Syed1]

Don't let go so easily. If the alarm bells did not ring basis his performance in Australia, he will certainly re-earn your hate after the CT

He may flop in the CT, but he has one of the few batsman apart from Babar and Sarf to stand up and perform more often than not. If it was so easy to perform against "minnows" then Shehzad and Kami would have also grabbed the same opportunity presented to them.

 

[Hasan Cheema]

If Pakistan win, I am winning 11200

 

[super hitter]

Hafeez is an absolutely terrible runner.

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

It's not gonna be easy but I think we'll chase it

i think its really difficult

 

[Rayyman]

[MENTION=137485]Dios[/MENTION] has gone quite

 

[Pete Rose]

And Malik Sarfi chased a 300+ target against England in England, which has probably never been done before

Well yes. That settles it then. I mean why look at what happens 2 months ago repeatedly vs what happened once in a very badly lost odi series ten months ago

 

[Hasan Cheema]

These two made the otherwise tricky chase look quite easy, Keep going seniors

 

[Arsalan Pro]

[MENTION=137485]Dios[/MENTION] has gone quite

He will arrive when the wicket falls.

 

[Markhor]

And Malik Sarfi chased a 300+ target against England in England, which has probably never been done before

Cardiff was a dead rubber, where was Malik in the other matches ?

 

[super hitter]

Brilliant feild setup

 

[Hasan Cheema]

i think its really difficult

not though, as these two are batting, going to chase it in 43rd over

 

[Rayyman]

Malik always wears long sleeves.

 

[DRsohail]

i am desperatley waitng for hafeez wicket..he sould be dropped ..will be terrible against fast bowling...in CT..pak needs to learn the lesson..

 

[Hasan Cheema]

Brilliant feild setup

still easy singles available, and that is only requirement at this stage

 

[Hasan Cheema]

i am desperatley waitng for hafeez wicket..he sould be dropped ..will be terrible against fast bowling...in CT..pak needs to learn the lesson..

If history suggest anything, wickets at CT will be belters

 

[Arsalan Pro]

92/3 in 21.

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Quick single.

 

[Hasan Cheema]

The best thing these two have done so far, which is so unlike Pakistani, is they did not let the required rate jump over 5

 

[On_the_up]

pretty good effort by these 2, having had the luck of the non review.

However need this partnership to go deep into the remaining runs.

 

[Barragan]

Well done to Hafeez

Really good 50

 

[Hasan Cheema]

fifty in style, off 58 balls, Keep going Hafeez

 

[DRsohail]

If history suggest anything, wickets at CT will be belters

he cant score against 130 kph bowler ..take my words he will be utter failure there ......and he will be hit badly while bowling...inzi did a great trick by bringing back this ttf for easy tour though he had an horror show in psl...

 

[DRsohail]

dont be amused by his fifty..he is the biggest weak point and manipulator in tthis team...

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

special knock here by Hafeez. Now make a 100 and win the match.

 

[IMMY69]

dont be amused by his fifty..he is the biggest weak point and manipulator in tthis team...

Is he Doctor Evil?

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Well played Hafeez. Good knock in a decider but needs to stay till the end

 

[DRsohail]

we loast first odi due to his selfish batting otherwise we will be experimenting with the youngsters in this match..

 

[MRSN]

Well played Hafeez.

 

[Hasan Cheema]

100 in 22 overs, If we were batting first we would have been looking for 300, It will require an epic collapse to loose this decider from this position

 

[DRsohail]

Is he Doctor Evil?

what???

 

[super hitter]

Well yes. That settles it then. I mean why look at what happens 2 months ago repeatedly vs what happened once in a very badly lost odi series ten months ago

Cardiff was a dead rubber, where was Malik in the other matches ?

The team is filled up of 10 tendulkars and Malik is the liability who needs to be removed, oh I just got it!

 

[DRsohail]

Is he Doctor Evil?

yess he is..

 

[Hasan Cheema]

is Shoaib Malik best rotator in Pakistan?

 

[Rayyman]

Bad day for [MENTION=79064]MMHS[/MENTION]

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

100 in 22 overs, If we were batting first we would have been looking for 300, It will require an epic collapse to loose this decider from this position

Need to play all of Shanon's overs here.

 

[Hasan Cheema]

Please do not give wicket to Gabrial, he is only threat to this chase

 

[boomboom6]

The best thing these two have done so far, which is so unlike Pakistani, is they did not let the required rate jump over 5

It's because both are very good players of spin ... Our problem starts against genuine pace bowlers and medium fast bowlers in middle overs. That's what teams like Aus, SA, Eng and NZ have.

That's why both Hafeez & Malik struggled to up the run rate in the 4th ODI against Aussies recently after we were in a good position to chase down 356 after 34 overs. Innings came to a grinding halt because they couldn't attack Aussie pacers like they can do to practically any spinner.

 

[Arsalan Pro]

No ball.

 

[Barragan]

Free hit
