Zimbabwe (205) beat Pakistan (60/6) by 80 runs (DLS method) in the 1st ODI to take a 1-0 lead in the 3-match ODI series

Ok i take my words back take Haris off at once...just imagine Zimbabwe didnt lose these many wickets 300 plus was on
 
Tidy little partnership building here. Raza is a really underrated player
How did he slip through our net ? I would take Raza in our white ball sides now even though he's close to 40.

Wouldn't do worse than some of the jokers we've had in our T20 batting lineup.
 
Haris gettin destroyed why on earth is he bowking short. Has he heard of a slower ball. I think Zim will get a good score now

Our setup doesn't have the best eye for talent. Tahir slipped through in the same way.
 
Raza might hurt pakistan. This is the same opposition he's smashed a century against
 
There's a few discrepancies in the squad.

Arafat Minhas was selected for AUS ODIs but not ZIM ODIs. Faisal Akram made both squads but performed worse than Minhas in Champions Cup (averaging 70 at 7.36 RPO) - although possesses a good List A record and is bowling well here.

And as you said Jahandad misses out despite being one of the lead performers in the Champions Cup.

There could've been more consistency in selection across these white ball tours.
It's just change for the sake of change, no rhyme or reason to it. They probably pick the 3-4 names out of a hat.
 
Raza needed to stay until the end and drag them to 250 to give their bowlers a chance against our weak batting.
 
whats the point of giving side on angle replays on every dismissal? and they pause at bowler landing? 😂😂 who is in charge of this broadcast?
 
Hasnain is bowling harmless medium pace and becomes very ordinary in his later spells. I don't see any improvement tbh.

He has been in the system for a 6-7 years and his body of work is mostly T20 Cricket and very insignificant first class cricket. Another example of a young cricket who has been ruined by an excessive dose of T20 Cricket and insufficient bowling in first class 4 day cricket
 
Congratulations to Pakistan for offering career best Batting to Ngarava . PCT is one hell of a generous team having made careers of countless nobodies
 
200 plus. Could be awkward to chase. Series was supposed to be a confidence builder for Hasnain but have to say he has looked really ordinary.

Problem as usual is, once the others don't perform for a match or two and he performs in some National/Sindh/Circus/etc league etc the fans will be promoting him like he's the next Bret Lee who has been hard done by, even though years of watching him fail in internationals has suggested otherwise. They bring him back for a couple of matches, drop him, rinse and repeat.
 
Hoping saim and Kamran gets some runs and Abdullah fails.

I can't stand parchi's like Abdullah representing pakistan in green colors
 
Some players are given easy tours to start while other are thrown in deep sea
 
Yeah, thanks to Rizwan and Babar, who even play against teams like Nepal just to pad their stats.

We're finally moving in the right direction now, easy tours should be for building and testing the bench strength.
I was referring to Sufyan and Jehandad
 
Shabash, Parchi gone. Now looking forward to seeing kamran + Saim to seal the deal
 
What's with players getting caught down the leg side? It's not an unlucky dismissal, opposition bowlers use it as a deliberate tactic.
 
Abdullah Shafiq I think he is from powerful Sialkot region.

Fakhar zaman should take up his position
 
Unlucky dismissal but One should never get outlike this ..i dnt have any faith in gulam and co
 
Regions politics is the main thing in PCB, that's why regional head push for their players to keep themselves relevant
 
Kamran Ghulam Rizwan and Haseebullah are all close allies , probably all from same region
 
Muzarabani is a good bowler and his height gives him extra advantage
 
Pakistan is even worse then Zimbabwe at playing powerplays smh
 
Kamran has big shoes to fill. Babar is not someone you can replace easily
 
You just know it Pak will make the debutant Trevor Gwaandu a hero today Gwaandu will be all over Pak.
 
Next game, drop abdullah and bring haseeb to open. Bring tayyab in for him
