Maqsood poor short selection again . . . . . why are our players such idiots.
 
I'm really hoping Akmal gets a big score here, at least. He's an important player for us.
 
Good opening shot by Grapes.

Sarfraz, Malik, Rizwan, Umar and Maqsood all need to be shoehorned somehow into the same XI for the World T20.
 
Umar looking great.

How would akmal maqsood opening combo be in t20s. Both better against pace but can play spin. Both play aerial shots. Both can even bat through sometimes. Both too irresponsible to bat in the middle order.
 
Akmal should bat at #3, in T20s at least. If he plays 30-40 deliveries, he'll win Pakistan the game, more often than not.
 
we also need players that can hit sixes. 12 overs and none so far

Id go for these 5 and nauman/mukhtar. Then come the 2 allounders and then the 3 bowlers. Perfect

Umar opening in ODIs and T20s has long been a wish-list of mine, but I don't see it happening. If I have it my way, I would open with Sharjeel and Umar in T20s and give Umar a go as Azhar's opening partner in ODIs ahead of Shehzad.

Open with Sarfaraz and Hafeez. The rest fit nicely into the middle order, even though I wouldn't want Malik there.
 
150 is good enough, these two need to set it up for 'Fridi.

Certainly worth a go, might revitalise his career and Pakistan Cricket won't regret it if it does.

A lot of teams will open with spinners in the World T20 next year, so Sarfraz can be considered as an opener for that tournament.
 
Only for 'Fridi to balloon one up first ball.

'Afridi the captain is more responsible than 'Afridi the player... I would say he balloons it at the tenth ball.

these 2 are very busy at the crease. should be playing in the top order
 
Man, I hate it when mediocre bowlers bowl well. You are there to be hit damnit, so bowl some hittable deliveries!

Unless you have stats proving otherwise, I don't think there is any distinguishable difference between Afridi with and sans captaincy.
 
Our brilliance in T20 cricket has long been a myth now. We have been crap in this format for a good few years now.
 
The players should avoid running so many doubles in this heat.

Something I have noticed. Don't have time to dig up any statistical evidence right now.
 
Rizwan lacking power as usual.

Rizwan is of Adnan Akmals level of talunt.

Too many cameos with the handbrake on - story of our innings.
 
Will Afridi hide behind Imad again.

Rizwan goes for a slog on one knee and hits it straight to the deep fielder on the on side.
 
Even the good players haven't been able to get any purchase off this track.
 
I have really noticed one thing for sure that most of our batsman are totally clueless vs slower balls, which are a very common weapon in any bowlers armory these days and this weakness will sooner or later will cost us very big if not rectified,
 
45 in the last 3. With Afridi and Akmal, very possible.
