Zimbabwe vs Pakistan | 5th ODI | Bulawayo | July 22, 2018 | Pakistan Innings

[mak36]

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

No. He is only out there because he needed those three runs.

He will play the CPL after this and Asia Cup isn't for nearly two months so not sure how sending him out today helps.

 

[Mueez]

It was not out....

 

[mak36]

Shoaib Malik is out.

And what the heck is Babar doing?

Hitting short wide deliveries for singles.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

It’s fine.

Not really.Poor,poor innings.

 

[InziRules]

No. He is only out there because he needed those three runs.

He will play the CPL after this and Asia Cup isn't for nearly two months so not sure how sending him out today helps.

Time out in the middle always helps.

Either that or Mickey wanted to give him rope to hang himself,but Malik's been good for some time, I think?

 

[JibranAnsari]

Poor decisionn to send babar at 3 today

 

[shah_1]

It’s fine.

No it's not

 

[Mueez]

Is 350+ on?

 

[Khan12]

Poor decisionn to send babar at 3 today

Needs some batting time.

 

[Sirris]

There you go even against this "loserish" Zim team our notorious seniors fail to impress. This would have been a much tougher series if we had played the likes of Azhar, Hafeez and Shehzad.

Minnow or not it still takes skills to dominate them.

 

[shah_1]

Good from Asif Ali

 

[Darkrai]

No. He is only out there because he needed those three runs.

He will play the CPL after this and Asia Cup isn't for nearly two months so not sure how sending him out today helps.

I don't see anything wrong with him coming when there are more than 10 overs remaining and he is capable of hitting 6s.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Big shot by Asif Ali for a six

 

[Markhor]

Just tuned in and first ball Asif Ali smacks for six !

 

[babajee]

No it's not

Not really.Poor,poor innings.

Poor innings because he’s out of practice

 

[Mueez]

"Chal Babar hun out hoja!"

 

[Baigel]

Nothing wrong with Babar spending time in the middle, the only game before the Asia cup. There's no way Zimbabwe are going to score more than 250 + It's his first series back after injury, let the lad play

 

[JibranAnsari]

Babar does not ha e the ability to take advantage of the situation. He will play for his 50 more often than not.

 

[Khan12]

Nothing wrong with Babar spending time in the middle, the only game before the Asia cup. There's no way Zimbabwe are going to score more than 250 + It's his first series back after injury, let the lad play

No he should have been batting at 200+ strike rate.

 

[Mueez]

Incredible hitting skills.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Six more for Asif.

 

[Baigel]

No he should have been batting at 200+ strike rate.

And potentially getting out cheaply in the only ODI before the Asia Cup?

 

[shariqnoor]

The umpiring standards in this series have been pathetic. Umpires have not given about 20 clear wides to Pakistan in this series.

 

[Shaddy86]

Did that banner say Parkistan Zimbabwe have outdone Pakistan in this regard

 

[Arham_PakFan]

2 consecutive fours by Babar.That’s more like it.

 

[Baigel]

What a shot Babar, beautifully hit over cover

 

[Markhor]

This is better from Babar.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

15 runs from the over.

4 overs left now.

 

[pkckt]

Asif showing a weakness against short balls

 

[mkyawar]

Asif needs to be targeted with short balls . There is a difference between guys like Chatara mupariwa etc and the likes of Cummins, starc , Ramada and bumrah . They will eat him alive for breakfast lunch and dinner and desert

 

[Baigel]

Asif showing a weakness against short balls

No Man, Just have a look back to the PSL finals...

 

[Usman Chadda]

Asif needs to be targeted with short balls . There is a difference between guys like Chatara mupariwa etc and the likes of Cummins, starc , Ramada and bumrah . They will eat him alive for breakfast lunch and dinner and desert

He was struggling with the lack of pace of Mpofu

 

[Baigel]

Babar On FIRE

 

[babajee]

Fantastic from Babar

Can he get his century.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Finally!Good stuff by Babar

 

[Mueez]

We should thank Sarfraz for giving the strike to Babar!

Babar on

 

[Baigel]

Ahhhhh, 338

 

[Mueez]

Ahhhhh, 338

Ssstttttt #180.

 

[Khan12]

And potentially getting out cheaply in the only ODI before the Asia Cup?

I was being sarcastic. People need to relax it's his first series after the injury.

 

[Baigel]

 

[castortroy]

Ramiz negativity towards Babar has been over the top.

He scored 50 off 55 which is perfectly fine at number 3. His role is to bat until the end with others batting around him. Joe root and others play the same role so the criticism by ramiz is far fetched

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Babar on 95 off 70

 

[Mueez]

Ticked 350.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Ramiz negativity towards Babar has been over the top.

At one point he was 17 off 35.

Fair play to him though.He accelerated well.

 

[Mueez]

Bechare Zimbabwe kai players......

 

[babajee]

Yesssssss :

 

[Baigel]

Beautiful innings by

 

[sadida97]

At one point he was 17 off 35.

Fair play to him though.He accelerated well.

he was never 17 off 35

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Ton up for Babar Azam.

He gets to his eighth hundred,off just 72 balls.

 

[Mueez]

What a knock by Babar!

 

[Dagestani_Eagle]

Second 50 in 17 balls.

 

[shariqnoor]

If Babar could hit like this, then why start from the 47th over?

 

[Baigel]

His second fifty was of 17 balls

 

[Arham_PakFan]

he was never 17 off 35

Yes it was somewhere around that,maybe 18 off 35 or 36.But the point still stands.

 

[hussain.r97]

Really well paced innings by Babar.

 

[Dagestani_Eagle]

If Babar could hit like this, then why start from the 47th over?

So that haters come out of closet and then he shuts them up

 

[Baigel]

Interesting choice of words by Babar

 

[babajee]

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

Haha

 

[Khan12]

Some people have disappeared after Babar started hitting.

 

[pkckt]

Babar improving his English, perhaps can do interviews on his own now

 

[todfod 11]

People critizing babar regularly should go and get a mental check up done.. they need help

 

[sadida97]

Yes it was somewhere around that,maybe 18 off 35 or 36.But the point still stands.

Babar Azam
18 (24b) copied that from cricinfo

 

[Angrez Pakistani]

Was an ugly fifty but a good hundred. Quite weird.

 

[Kohli The King of Chase]

Is thisBabar Azam or Babar Kohli??4

 

[AFM]

Yes it was somewhere around that,maybe 18 off 35 or 36.But the point still stands.

It'a called building an innings. Don't see the complaints when Virat and Rohit do the same.

 

[Dagestani_Eagle]

Interesting choice of words by Babar

With Sir at other end

 

[Baigel]

Babar improving his English, perhaps can do interviews on his own now

Ya, thanks to all mighty Allah...ALhmadullilah, the boys played well (signals for azhar mahmood)

 

[Mueez]

Btw, just noticed that Babar is wearing some protection for his arm.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Babar Azam
18 (24b) copied that from cricinfo

Yikes,my mistake.

This boring series is getting to my head.

 

[castortroy]

Ramiz must feel like a bit of a clown now. Babar scored quicker than both openers

 

[pkckt]

No Pakistani batsmen played below a strike rate of 100

 

[Arham_PakFan]

It'a called building an innings. Don't see the complaints when Virat and Rohit do the same.

Babar has not displayed much hitting ability before.He did really well in this innings but with Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma you know they can accelerate after a slow start.If Babar had accelerated earlier we might have made 380+.

 

[mak36]

Much better from Babar! Last fifty came up in no time.

 

[Angrez Pakistani]

Babar has not displayed much hitting ability before.He did really well in this innings but with Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma you know they can accelerate after a slow start.If Babar had accelerated earlier we might have made 380+.

If only he hadn’t been selfish in his 40’s.

 

[Madplayer]

Yes it was somewhere around that,maybe 18 off 35 or 36.But the point still stands.

No his strike rate was always above 80. He was never 18 off 35.

 

[Madplayer]

A brilliant innings from Babar. Proving that he can accelerate and end up well above 100 strike rate.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

No his strike rate was always above 80. He was never 18 off 35.

Post #229

 

[Rayyman]

People shouldn't criticize as much. Pakistan have played very well. Especially the top 3 batters, excellent from them. Now let's see how the bowling does.

 

[Rahul1]

Is thisBabar Azam or Babar Kohli??4

None. It is the mighty Zimbabwe bowling attack.

 

[Khan12]

I hope you are ok.
