[babajee]

Noooooooooooooooooooooo

 

[Mueez]

Oh no Fakhar is out!

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Fakhar is out!Roche gets his wicket for the 2nd time!

Fakhar makes 85 and his big series has come to an end.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Hope they send Asif Ali at 3

 

[mak36]

 

[babajee]

Hope they send Asif Ali at 3

I’d rather send in Babar and challenge him to score a 100 at 110-120 SR

 

[emranabbas]

25 overs of tuk tuking left

 

[Terry Bollea]

Fakhar Zaman is Liam Roche's bunny.

 

[Cricket_2018]

Finally, we have 2 proper openers. In fact, after this series, I can confidently say these 2 are the best openers ever for Pak!

 

[AssassinatedDevil]

What an anticlimax

 

[Rahul1]

Consecutive double centuries coming up for FZ.

Lol.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

I’d rather send in Babar and challenge him to score a 100 at 110-120 SR

I want a score of 400...

 

[AssassinatedDevil]

Some next level commentary on display. Our very own Ramiz "spitting fire" Raja saying Imam will be glad that Fakhar is out since he was hogging the limelight.

 

[Mueez]

Imagine Imam scoring a double century...

 

[mak36]

These two slowing the run rate

 

[Dr_Bassim]

By the time Babar gets out the innings will be nowhere.

I don’t mind. Need Babar to have confidence and form going into Asia Cup.

 

[mak36]

Mickey not looking too impressed at the fact some of the players are eating candy floss.

Get the feeling there will be some laps...

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Its in UAE.

Babar could bat blind there.

 

[babajee]

Who said Babar cannot hit

 

[mak36]

Babar showing some power.

 

[Rayyman]

Who said Babar cannot hit

Babar showing some power.

How are you guys watching this it's so boring

 

[babajee]

How are you guys watching this it's so boring

Watching Pakistan cricket whenever possible is farz.

 

[mak36]

Watching Pakistan cricket whenever possible is farz.

What he said.

 

[Rayyman]

Watching Pakistan cricket whenever possible is farz.

Not when your stream buffers every 10 seconds

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Babar needs to hit a few big shots.Currently 23 off 30.

 

[babajee]

Not when your stream buffers every 10 seconds

Why would I stream when I have a TV

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Another hundred for Imam-ul-Haq.

3rd Hundred in the series and 4th in 9 innings.

Came at a better strike rate.

 

[mak36]

Much better from Imam- congrats.

97 ball century.

Dot ball % is down (33 balls)

 

[imshally81]

Asif Ali should be next...

 

[Rayyman]

For bhaanja

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Asif Ali should be next...

Definitely.The way things are going even 350 looks difficult.

 

[hussain.r97]

Much better hundred from Imam. It still remains to be seen how he does against quality sides though.

 

[mak36]

Need to move on now.

 

[Rayyman]

Am guessing we will play this XI in Asia Cup:
Imam
Fakhar
Babar
Malik
Sarfraz*+
Asif
Imad
Faheem
Shadab
Amir
Hasan

That's pretty solid. Can't ask for more tbh.

Big mistake.

 

[Dagestani_Eagle]

 

[JibranAnsari]

Babar needs to get out. Poor knock so far.

 

[Hasan123]

Another 100 for Imam. Well done

Imad )

You just can't help yourself...

 

[mak36]

Stunning six down the ground from Imam.

 

[Rayyman]

Big mistake.

Would prefer Gohar but doubt he is on selectors radar. Need another spinner for Asia Cup in UAE. Imad is Mickey's golden boy and he should be fit by then.

Playing Imad/Nawaz against India will result in shameful humiliation

Imad is not anyone's "golden boy."

He has been quietly dropped. Needs to work on all facets of his game if he wants to get back into the team.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Pakistan have wasted another chance to score 400

 

[Rayyman]

Playing Imad/Nawaz against India will result in shameful humiliation

I doubt one bowler will do anything. Plus Malik is there as back up. Imad actually bowled pretty in CT vs India. Think he was going at 4 an over until he had to bowl the last one. Also, India are no godly team. Aside from the Top 3 they have no batting.

Fine then let's go with Nawaz

 

[imshally81]

Big mistake.

Just replace imad with Junaid / Shinwari

 

[Rayyman]

Just replace imad with Junaid / Shinwari

No four pacers in UAE will not work imho.

 

[babajee]

Good. Send in Asif Ali.

 

[mak36]

Imam gone. Needs to work on his finishing.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Imam-ul-Haq is finally dismissed.Wellington Masakadza gets his first wicket.

Pakistan 245-2

 

[mak36]

Babar needs to get a move on. Hopefully they send in Asif.

 

[mak36]

Just replace imad with Junaid / Shinwari

We need a second spinner for when conditions suit.

 

[mak36]

Malik

 

[babajee]

Imam gone. Needs to work on his finishing.

Needs to work on shot range, power hitting, strike rotation, spin play.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Babar need to either hit out or get out.

 

[mak36]

Needs to work on shot range, power hitting, strike rotation, spin play.

Yes have mentioned in a few previous posts.

His spin play is okay when he uses his feet.

 

[Rayyman]

Needs to work on shot range, power hitting, strike rotation, spin play.

For openers I think shot range and power hitting are most important from what you listed.

 

[mak36]

Babar need to either hit out or get out.

I really hope he isn't batting for his fifty.

 

[mak36]

Pakistan wasting a chance to score 400.

 

[Mueez]

7000 ODI runs for Shoaib Malik!

 

[InziRules]

3rd slowest to 7000

 

[Mueez]

Pakistan wasting a chance to score 400.

Already wasted imo.

 

[Rayyman]

Is Harris ODI career over? I think it might not be a bad idea to induct a younger backup middle-order bat.

 

[Darkrai]

3rd slowest to 7000

started of as a spinner

 

[mak36]

Why is Asif Ali not out there?

 

[mak36]

Babar get a move on please!

 

[Darkrai]

Why is Asif Ali not out there?

Because the other guys need some practice before Asia cup.

 

[mak36]

Because the other guys need some practice before Asia cup.

Asif has had two ODI innings.

 

[Sirris]

We should aim for 400 runs, Mian Malik.

 

[shariqnoor]

Babar is like the Rahul Dravid of Pakistan in ODIs. He doesn't have the ability to impose himself on the game. If Babar can't hit out at 150 SR against this Zimbabwean attack and on this flat pitch in these last 10 overs, then he will never do it against the big teams. Almost turning into a liability having Babar bat in the last 10 overs.

 

[mak36]

Babar is genuinely batting for his fifty. Pathetic.

 

[Darkrai]

Asif has had two ODI innings.

He scored 22 ball 50. Malik needed some time out there.

 

[Sirris]

Do we have any other ODI commitments from now and the Asia Cup?

 

[babajee]

Malik can’t play pace

 

[shah_1]

Pathetic inninga from Babar

 

[babajee]

Pathetic inninga from Babar

It’s fine.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Shoaib Malik is out.

And what the heck is Babar doing?
