Yorkshire vs Pakistan A | 26-29 June, 2016 | Headingley | Match Thread

[hussain.r97]

Hasan Ali needs to make the batsman play more. Judging from the commentary, he's bowling too far outside off.

 

[Square Drive]

We drop them at every level. So frustrating.

 

[hussain.r97]

Mir Hamza bowling beautifully.

 

[hussain.r97]

Commentators saying that Hamza is quick

 

[marlonbrowndo]

now we have officially started our english tour

Haha well said

 

[Markhor]

It was off Hamza's bowling.

Thanks, should've had 3 wickets to his name. Yorkshire 23-2.

Commentators praising pace of the bowlers.

The key at Headingley is to pitch it full. There's always assistance for the seamers if overcast. Bowl short and it sits up nicely, its not the quickest of pitches.

Its a decent place to bat nowadays, Root and Bairstow piled on a massive partnership a few weeks ago.

Apparently Mir Hamza is especially quick.

Hasan ali is definitely quicker than hamza .

Thats why he has had more success than hamza in limited overs cricket on flatter pitches.

That's what I thought, i'm just repeating what the BBC commentary is saying.

BBC radio

 

[Hawkeye]

What you talking about man ? He's mediocre & can only swing the rubbish domestic ball, isn't that right [MENTION=134608]Hawkeye[/MENTION] ?

Swinging the dukes at trundling pace isn't hard.

He's suitable for these conditions.

 

[Markhor]

No at home listening on radio. Headingley's not too far away if I wanted to go though !

Thanks !

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Babar should take these 2 off now and bring on Bhatti and Asghar. Nawaz is there as a backup option too

 

[Suleiman]

Btw these are all fringe Yorkshire players from what it looks like, with the odd 1 or 2 first choice players.

So this A side SHOULD beat them, if we lose this A series then it will be a huge cause of concern.

 

[Markhor]

Commentators praising Pakistan A a lot, good to hear bar the drop the fielding is sharp.

BBC gets a lot of criticism but its a fantastic broadcaster. Every English county match has radio commentary minimum if not televised, compare this to the abysmal coverage of domestic cricket in Pakistan.

A team series coverage around the world is almost non-existent so I'm grateful we have radio at least.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Bhatti on

 

[Ahson8]

Lol Bhatti starts with a no-ball.

 

[Fantasy]

I am not sure about selecting two spinners in these conditions(from all we have heard so far).I would've tempted to go with Saud Shakeel here in place of Mohammad Nawaz.A far better batsman than Nawaz and can give you 7-8 overs a day.Would've boosted our batting certainly.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

3 no balls in a row from Bhatti

 

[Ahson8]

3 no-balls in a row

 

[Belawal2014]

3 no balls from Bhatti, shabash!

Oh damn, just realized Saud Shakeel misses out

 

[Shafi]

No ball king returns!!!! 3 no balls in a raw

 

[Belawal2014]

4 no balls.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

4 in a row. Lol at Bhatti

 

[hussain.r97]

Special stuff from Bhatti

4 No balls!!!

 

[Langau]

Bhatti with his no balls, i think he is fasting

 

[Markhor]

Oh my word, what the hell are you doing Bhatti. Release all the pressure why not.

 

[Ahson8]

LMAO wut r you doing Bhatti ?

 

[Hasan123]

Bhatti what you playing at?

 

[Saeed]

Reminds me of Asif and Amir's no balls. Hopefully we won't see such nonsense this time around.

Keen to see Asghar bowling on a non spinning track

Shukar Alhamdo Lilah, bhatti completed his over.

Fly Hamza in!

 

[Square Drive]

[MENTION=138318]Belawal2014[/MENTION] apparently around 19-20.

 

[Ahson8]

Bhatti actually bowling well apparently but is ruining it with a plethora of no-balls.

 

[Slog]

wowww!

Pakistan A XI:.

Shakeel Khan, Jaahid Ali , Fakhar Zaman , Babar Azam* , Umar Siddiq , Mohammad Hassan, Mohammad Nawaz , Bilawal Bhatti , Mohammad Ashgar , Hassan Ali , Mir Hamza.

Disappointed to see Shakeel missing out. He should have played ahead of Nawaz. You don't require two spinners on seaming wickets. Saud shakeel is 10 times better batsman than Nawaz and also bowls some spin too.

 

[Suleiman]

Uhh I think against 2 mediocre batsmen we should have more wickets soon on a friggin green wicket.

Can't let this partnership blossom too much from here.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Whats the only similarity between Bilawal Bhatti and Louis Vuitton?

It is Sharjeel Khan not Shakeel Khan.. Auto correct function lead to this error.

That delievery by Hamzah Mir to get his earlier wicket was quality

 

[street cricketer]

How good is this Yorkshire side guys?

 

[Markhor]

Bit frustrating this as Yorkshire have recovered. On a green top you'd want more wickets in the first session against a young batting lineup.

Looks like batting might become easier as the day progresses and there's more sun overhead.

 

[Markhor]

How good is this Yorkshire side guys?

Second string tbh. The big guns are on England duty or rested. Its a young team with a few players from the Second XI.

 

[hussain.r97]

What does Sharjeel Khan bowl?

 

[mz123]

sharjeel is bowling ?????

The swing was good, but the pace wasn't high as some are claiming here.

Conditions couldn't be better for him.

Green top
Heavy cloud cover

Thought so. Probably rested for the county matches..

 

[hussain.r97]

Sharjeel bowling

I see the plan, Babar is a genius captain!

All that flab bouncing around when Sharjeel runs in will undoubtedly distract the batsman

Bowled a maiden so could be onto something here !

That's lunch. Play resumes at 1:40pm BST.

 

[Ahson8]

Cmon man give him some credit. Not the perfect bowler but more than a handful in these conditions.
