OUT! Imad also threw away his wicket

 

246/7

 

24 balls left to cross 280

 

Whattay catch man... facepalm

 

260 hi kar lo yaar. :afaq

 

why is everyone talking about 280 ?

 

Because any other good batting side would have easily scored 300+ on this track but we have made a compromise. Don't want to do too much bezti of Australians in front of their home crowd.

 

Rizwan will soon show his six hitting jalway inshAllah

 

mA only 2 runs in the 47th over

 

We really need lower order batsman, freaking Rizwan should've been batting at 4 instead of useless Shafiq

Also don't know what the hell Umar was up to today

 

250 up. 2 overs to go

 

Should try to get to 270 at the very least.

 

Har match mein yahi hota hai smh. Why do they keep these tuk tuk jobbers in the lower order. :fp

 

FOUR by Rizwan

 

Block or Slog mentality isn't gonna get you scores of 300+ regularly. They need to learn how to rotate the strike and apart from Malik , have no one.

People think of converting ones to two's and Pakistani batsmen can't even take singles

 

Rizwan has been scratchy almost every time I've seen him bat, not sure why so many had been pushing for him. He tries some odd shots but doesn't really have many conventional ones to offer.

 

257, one over to go

 

Imo, not a bad innings. We should have got 300+ had we had a decent batsmen instead of Asad Shafiq who really just ruined the momentum.

 

Not even trying to hit big lmao

 

Rizwan should be sent at no.11 next game

 

They were 160/3 odd in 30 overs with two set batsmen and shafiq barely lasted long enough to ruin the momentum. The rule is to score in the last 20 overs how much you score in the first 30 overs

 

Pakistan batting is the last 10 overs is a big problem in ODIs recently.

 

Around 20-30 runs short.

 

Doesn't look like he is much of a threat to Sarfraz's place in the side.

 

264 is the target for Australia. They should chase it down with plenty overs to spare.

 

We missed Nawaz in the lower order. He wud have smashed some sixes for sure.

 

Whattay joke of a finish.

Really lost the momentum when Malik got out.

Akmal was out of character today. Although his partnership with Babar may have saved us from an ever worse finish but nevertheless he should have done a lot better considering his role.

 

Its over for us. Dont think v ll defend it.

 

Rizwan should be questioned for fixing

 

Never seen him willingly smashing sixes.

 

21 runs in the last 5 overs. May as well be a test match.

 

Rizwan can't bat to save his life.

 

Should have got 300 from where we were, but we will still defend this.

 

Since his first series in SL, I can't recall Rizwan doing anything significant with bat.

Sarfaraz would have at least scored a few more than him in this situation.

 

Lets hope pacers again do well for us and it becomes a better pitch in second innings for the slower bowlers too.

 

Shehzad or Fakhar shud have been selected instead of mr. technique.

 

Sarfraz z even worse in the lower order.

 

I think v shud select players on the basis of technique only

 

mA your recalling have improved

 

Not really. Even lets suppose he is, at least he still shows some intention of hitting or scoring runs.
