Zimbabwe v Pakistan | 3rd ODI | Harare | 14/09/11 | Pakistan innings

[IAJ]

Zimbabwe have won the toss and elected to bowl first.

 

[Legend Killer]

From cricinfo: With the series in the bag, Pakistan have rung in the changes. Umar Akmal, Sohail Tanvir and Saeed Ajmal will sit out; in come Asad Shafiq, Sohail Khan and Yasir Shah (on debut)

 

[SwingNSeam]

still no Rameez

 

[IAJ]

Umar Akmal, Sohail Tanvir and Ajmal not playing today, in comes Sohail Khan, Asad Shafiq and Yasir Shah.

They should have included Rameez Raja as well, but I guess they are saving him for T20s

 

[Tay'yab-Ali Malik]

Umar, tanvir& ajmal sit out.
Asad, yasir and khan in

 

[SwingNSeam]

predictions for Farhat?

 

[alishahid]

wonder how the batting line up would be. Im assuming this:

farhat
hafeez
younis
misbah
malik
shafiq
adnan
shah
sohail
cheema
junaid


I m not sure who would take the role to hit hard at the end in the absence of umar akmal. shafiq isnt a hard hitter. looks more like a test batting line up. i m predicting a total of 250 odd.

 

[Black Zero]

They could have included Ramiz too

 

[ash 68]

whats the logic of dropping Umar Akmal and not Farhat? Umar needs a big score.

Disappointed not to see Rameez

 

[IAJ]

They could have included Ramiz too

Yeah but they can't drop the Legend Farhat or Senior Malik.

 

[*syed59*]

So what is the point of playing Yasir Shah for this ONE .... DEAD game ?

I doubt the replacements will get any benefit here.

and farhat, malik still in there.....

 

[emclub]

Younis, Misbah, Hafeez or Farhat should have been rested for Asad and Rameez instead of Umar Akmal

 

[IAJ]

wonder when they will pick a deserving eleven in Pakistan. We don't have many stars anymore and still they are not picking the best available.

 

[SwingNSeam]

Looks like the ball will move around a bit because the pitch has bit of a grass on it. Let's see how the openers, , tackle Jarvis and Vitori.

 

[emclub]

Umar Akmal, Junaid Khan and Saeed Ajmal will sit out; in come Asad Shafiq, Sohail Khan and Yasir Shah (on debut).

 

[alishahid]

there is no point whining abt the selection for todays match. sit back and enjoy guys. hope farhat goes on to make a big score

 

[IAJ]

Cricinfo said Sohail Khan in for Sohail Tanvir but Misbah said Sohail in for Junaid.

 

[Osman]

sohail khan....good....now we can get to see how rubbish this trundler is and dispose of him for good.....so good selection imo.

 

[Obeid]

any resourceful areas showing in HQ / HD?

 

[SwingNSeam]

Four!

 

[IAJ]

Dangerous swing from Vitori here.

 

[Down2Earth]

rameez raja not getting a chance because of a tried and tested failure. A score of 75 with a strike rate of 70 doesn't prove that he'll bat like bradman from now. I'm simply sick of these sifarshi's and I have no words to express how I feel without getting a ban.

 

[SwingNSeam]

Another Four, this time by

 

[IAJ]

lols at the fielding, another

 

[RehanG]

please get this farhat out earliar

 

[IAJ]

11/0 after 1 overs.

 

[Obeid]

HD anyone?

 

[IAJ]

No HD at all. I have two paid links and both are of poor quality.

 

[SwingNSeam]

 

[IAJ]

Glorious by Farhat

 

[IAJ]

another 3 runs

 

[Strike!]

Rameez will get a game in the t20's i'm guessing.

 

[IAJ]

19/0 after 2 overs

 

[SwingNSeam]

:4 more

 

[IAJ]

raining fours here

 

[SwingNSeam]

Shot

 

[Strike!]

Hafeez sure is enjoying this tour.

 

[SwingNSeam]

Vitori losing it here

 

[SwingNSeam]

 

[MRSN]

wicket looks batting paradise

 

[MRSN]

34 in 2.4 overs


very good start

 

[IAJ]

This isn't even funny

 

[IAJ]

wow a dot ball

 

[IAJ]

34/0 after 3 overs

 

[Strike!]

15 runs off the over.

 

[SwingNSeam]

Swing and a miss

 

[IAJ]

Farhat tried to upper cut, almost edged it to the keeper

 

[Hando]

Brian Lara finding the fielders

 

[MRSN]

Farhat is a test player.

 

[ash 68]

36/0 in 4.0 good start

 

[IAJ]

Back to Test modus

 

[MRSN]

much better bowling from the Zimbabweans.

 

[SwingNSeam]

Good comeback form Vitori, 3 dot balls

 

[SwingNSeam]

Maiden

 

[IAJ]

Pakistan can afford a maiden or two after such a good start

 

[SwingNSeam]

Shot for by

 

[MRSN]

where did that come from?

 

[alishahid]

i m starting to like this comeback of imran farhat..

 

[SwingNSeam]

Good to see this bowling by the two young bowlers

 

[MRSN]

free hit comingggg

 

[SwingNSeam]

coming up

 

[MRSN]

just 2 , good fielding by Masakadza

 

[Smooth_Operator]

One thing I have noticed about Farhat is that he is running hard between the wickets, while Hafeez isn't.

 

[SwingNSeam]

 

[MRSN]

poor shot

 

[Smooth_Operator]

Hafeez with a brain-fart lol

 

[Down2Earth]

how dumb

 

[SwingNSeam]

Wasted opportunity, was looking good at the crease when he was not trying to slog.

 

[Zoab_Khan]

Can't believe it. Imran Farhat again. Does our qoum have any shame?

How can a third rate loser ilyas control selection 2,000 miles away?

Hats off to Afridi for not putting up with this garbage

 

[Smooth_Operator]

Shafiq in

 

[SwingNSeam]

Asad in

 

[Strike!]

Hafeez throws it away as usual.

 

[SwingNSeam]

good over

 

[Down2Earth]

sifarshi made to look like a fool

 

[SwingNSeam]

Boundary by

 

[SwingNSeam]

sifarshi made to look like a fool

 

[JibranAnsari]

shame asad can be promoted up the order but umar akmal is so damn unlucky.I feel for the guy.

 

[SwingNSeam]

from an unknown shot

 

[Down2Earth]

what a joke of a shot

 

[MRSN]

Lovely shot
