West Indies v Pakistan | 4th T20I | Port of Spain | April 2nd, 2017 | Pakistan Innings

[Syed1]

In the olden days they used to put "type of bowler" next to a bowler when he came onto bowl, just so people who haven't seen the bowler before know what he is about. I miss that..

 

[QalandarFan]

Looks close!

 

[Barragan]

That looks out

Just made it

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Babar with his perfect bat sliding technique again. How many times has this happened?

 

[Rayyman]

Thank god Pollard's leaving to the IPL after today.

ODIs will be sooo much easier than this.

 

[Ellipsism]

Babar Azam is a good ODI player. As far as Shehzad is concerned now that we've lost Sharjeel and Khalid, he is most likely going to be in the CT. So might as well go into it with some momentum and runs under the belt.

Not really worried about Azam.

Shehzad on the other hand...

 

[QalandarFan]

Not Out! Phew!

 

[shaz619]

Shehzad playing a beauty here.

Great knock, has rotated the strike well, limited aerial shots and took risks when needed.

 

[ask_analyse_act]

That looks out

not out

 

[Rinnegan Sasuke]

We are sending Shehzad, Kami, Hafeez and Malik. Half the side is the same as 2013.

Oh god,you're right. Should I laugh or cry. Why not both.

 

[Ellipsism]

ODIs will be sooo much easier than this.

No, so we'll have some competition.

Hopefully, they replace him with a proper batsman.

 

[Barragan]

not out

Already know

 

[QalandarFan]

Not really worried about Azam.

Shehzad on the other hand...

True but then again do we really have a good opener in Pakistan?

 

[msb314]

We are sending Shehzad, Kami, Hafeez and Malik. Half the side is the same as 2013.

Shehzad did not play in the 2013 CT.

He only returned to the ODI squad in October 2013 during SAF tour of UAE.

 

[Justcrazy]

102 / 1

15 overs

 

[Ultimate]

Ahmad Shahzad should be open with Azhar Ali in the upcoming Test series. No Shan Masood please. Babar Azam should be our back up Test opener.

 

[msb314]

Great running btw

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Great knock, has rotated the strike well, limited aerial shots and took risks when needed.

not selfish which is very good... but he is moving too much inside the crease and doing it very early even before the bowler reaches his bowling crease kinda MISBAH tech will be worked out by better teams quickly...

 

[WC-Passion]

Your right Kami and Shehzad will lift our performance.

Shehzad is a limited hack. The less said about Kami the better.

Kami was there last time... Shehzad, well, he's better than Farhat I guess?

We are sending Shehzad, Kami, Hafeez and Malik. Half the side is the same as 2013.

Only half the side this time... Slowly improving.

 

[Rayyman]

True but then again do we really have a good opener in Pakistan?

Openers aren't the problem. It's that we are playing 3/4 in the XI.

 

[Ultimate]

Sarfraz is the real deal, will win us the 2019 WC.

 

[MRSN]

Great knock, has rotated the strike well, limited aerial shots and took risks when needed.

yes. Hack like Fakher could only dream to play such a pressure knock under the circumstances. That's why you should back players with skills even if they are struggling instead of recycling the likes of SHan Massod. Shehzad should stay in Pakistan team unless we find someone with better skills.

 

[Ellipsism]

Ahmad Shahzad should be open with Azhar Ali in the upcoming Test series. No Shan Masood please. Babar Azam should be our back up Test opener.

What has Sami done wrong?

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Ahmad Shahzad should be open with Azhar Ali in the upcoming Test series. No Shan Masood please. Babar Azam should be our back up Test opener.

well sami aslam been discarded that quickly because he didnt look like the clone of Imran khan, afridi, wasim or shezzie.. good and handsome looking feature...

 

[Ultimate]

What has Sami done wrong?

He is too slow, even for Test cricket.

 

[Pakpak]

What has Sami done wrong?

Failed to get the connections to keep him in the team unlike these TTFs.

 

[Syed1]

PP'ers can do more informed commentary than Rambo

 

[DRsohail]

ramiz does not know who played the shot lolz..he said good this time while the batsman was babar..

 

[QalandarFan]

bring up Ahmed Shehzad's

 

[Syed1]

He is too slow, even for Test cricket.

He is glorified night watchman who can only block the ball and has no shots. Should have fit right in in our test side.

 

[Pete Rose]

Babar Azams batting stance is what got him in trouble in the test series vs Australia.

 

[The cricket enthusiast]

rameez commentary can be use to torture prisoners .

 

[msb314]

What a shot and what a 50 by Shezzy!

 

[Ultimate]

Ahmad Shahzad's series winning knock, let alone match winning.

 

[Justcrazy]

shehzad gone

 

[ExplicitAI]

good knock

 

[Syed1]

Fifty and out... typical

 

[WC-Passion]

What has Sami done wrong?

No idea, I feel like he was unlucky to get out of the ODI squad, should have been in there since BD 2015 tour, he scored 45 IIRC and then got dropped and then did terrible after he was picked again against England a year later, gave him no time to settle into the squad and then picked him out of nowhere.

 

[Barragan]

Bowled him

The place just erupted, but a little too late

 

[QalandarFan]

And there he goes

Really should've finished it off!

 

[Pete Rose]

Well done ahmed shehzad you got there after 4 innings

 

[Sports_Psychologist]

Wrong shot after 50 shwzzy..
Pak batsmen needs to finish the game when they perform...

 

[MRSN]

What has Sami done wrong?

not a long term prospect. I don't think it's a good idea to invest in limited players like Sami. We should always back players who can play all the formats.

 

[ask_analyse_act]

He is too slow, even for Test cricket.

sami wont get out like that lol...told here he is moving much inside the crease which is not good...

 

[Ellipsism]

He is glorified night watchman who can only block the ball and has no shots. Should have fit right in in our test side.

Isn't Renshaw the same?

 

[msb314]

Why do our players throw their wickets away like this

 

[Syed1]

It would have been better had he got out on a duck rather than like that.

 

[Rayyman]

Mian in

 

[The cricket enthusiast]

now malik will take his own sweet time & get out ..
hope notlol

 

[Ellipsism]

not a long term prospect. I don't think it's a good idea to invest in limited players like Sami. We should always back players who can play all the formats.

We need specialist players as well.

Sami can be our Renshaw.

 

[Pakpak]

A high school kid could do better commentary than Ramiz, goodness sake.

 

[Syed1]

Should have sent Fakhar in this zero pressure situation.

 

[DRsohail]

sarfo sends malik..lolz

 

[msb314]

Why is Shoaib Malik walking in?

Why not let Fakhar Zaman finish it off to give him some confidence?

 

[Ellipsism]

Wanted to see Fakhar humiliate himself again but oh well.

 

[WC-Passion]

Hopefully the SR's of 112-115 we're seeing are down to pitch not due to the limited stroke-play of the batsmen otherwise I don't see why people are so happy about these innings'.

 

[Ultimate]

Isn't Renshaw the same?

Check Renshaw's FC average, Sami averages merely 36, which is not trustworthy at all. That's why I would prefer Shahzad over him. Sami Aslam is more suited to ODI cricket.

 

[msb314]

Should have sent Fakhar in this zero pressure situation.

Agree completely.

 

[Pakpak]

Now Ramiz talking about Indian batting, completely irrelevant.

 

[Pete Rose]

now malik will take his own sweet time & get out ..
hope notlol

He will take his time. It's a difficult situation to come in to

 

[QalandarFan]

Ramiz say's he would pick Babar Azam in the Indian Lineup...

 

[Syed1]

Now Ramiz talking about Indian batting, completely irrelevant.

Kudos to you that you are even listening.

Whenever Ramiz starts speaking I switch to PP and start typing.

 

[msb314]

If Babar wants his 50 - he should hit back to back sixes and finish it off the next over.

 

[ask_analyse_act]

not a long term prospect. I don't think it's a good idea to invest in limited players like Sami. We should always back players who can play all the formats.

LOL.. trying everything to get a place for shezzie in test squad...well Langer played tests only and was very successful, pls drop Azhar ali ,shafiq and younis from the test team... play UA, shezzie and whoever u want lol...

 

[Barragan]

ramiz has no shame

You've been thrown out the ipl and talking about indian batting won't get you back in

 

[QalandarFan]

Babar should try to get a fifty.

 

[Pete Rose]

Ramiz is clueless

 

[Ellipsism]

If Babar wants his 50 - he should hit back to back sixes and finish it off the next over.

He's not a selfish player like Shehzad.

 

[msb314]

Hopefully the SR's of 112-115 we're seeing are down to pitch not due to the limited stroke-play of the batsmen otherwise I don't see why people are so happy about these innings'.

I think its due to the total and our players preferring to "take it easy".

 

[Pete Rose]

Malik finding the singles when not under pressure

 

[Rayyman]

Why is Shoaib Malik walking in?

Why not let Fakhar Zaman finish it off to give him some confidence?

Malik had a poor game yesterday. Hope he does well today.

 

[Justcrazy]

115 / 2

17 overs

 

[MMHS]

Today, in another post, I wrote that at present Babar is 38 (35) range player, which he matched. Next step is to reduce just 3/4 balls from that 35.

 

[The cricket enthusiast]

this match can get close if they sent that hackk lol

 

[msb314]

He's not a selfish player like Shehzad.

So if he accelerates, he is selfish but if he stays till the end - he is also selfish?

 

[Asif321]

3 in 3 series win for Sarfraz

 

[QalandarFan]

Lets finish it with a bang!

 

[super hitter]

Should've sent Shadab...what is Sarfi doing/

 

[Syed1]

Wow Rambo throwing numbers around LMAO

 

[Barragan]

Babar gone
