Pakistan vs Sri Lanka | 1st T20I | Abu Dhabi | October 26, 2017 | Pakistan Innings

[Shafi]

Shehzad is pathetic l!!! Can't even score run a ball

[MRSN]

Shahzad has scored 150 runs in his last 4 T20 innings. sarfaraz has got about 5

mureed peer ko kabhi neecha nahi keh sakta..don't you think?

[Abdullah719]

Shahzad has scored 150 runs in his last 4 T20 innings. sarfaraz has got about 5

Hasan Ali has got 3 wickets today, Sarfaraz zero.

[Syed1]

Regardless, 3 doesn't equal 2.

And the point of us chasing totals down totals within 8-12 overs stands more than twice stands.

You're wrong on all counts.

Ok ok man you win I said "grand total of two times", I should have said "grand total of three times"

[babajee]

may be but they are good hacks. They can dominate fast bowling pretty well which is all you need from your openers to give you a flying start. Fakher is a poor hack as most of the times he is looking for slogs with eyes closed and he is not as dominate against fast bowling either.

doubt hales/roy would have fired on this wicket.

[Syed1]

Shehzad marching swiftly to his 50*

Not any more

[Watsupdoc]

Shehzad out! Blessing in disguise?

[Ummii]

Like i said..he wasn't looking comfortable there

[Markhor]

Tame dismissal for Shehzad, caught down the legside.

[7sins]

What a terrible inning by shehzad didnt save his t20 place as well

[Watsupdoc]

Mr. Hafeez out there to entertain us now.

[Shinwari Khan]

Time for Faheem Ashraf the champion!

[MRSN]

doubt hales/roy would have fired on this wicket.

England won like 8 out of 9 ODIs against us here on the same pitches.

[Abdullah719]

Shehzad out for 44, good knock.

[Rana]

Not any more

The most happiest guy in the world....one of our players just got out and you are so happy. Says a lot about you

[MRSN]

I would rather have Shehzad than minnow basher Hafeez.lol at least Shehzad has a 100 against SA in SA.

[IAJ]

Easy in the crowds

[Aman]

Ok ok man you win I said "grand total of two times", I should have said "grand total of three times"

Like I'm supposed to remember the number of times we've chased down totals within 12 overs and which format was which. All I know is we've chased totals down quickly quite a few times. Certainly more than twice.

[Syed1]

The most happiest guy in the world....one of our players just got out and you are so happy. Says a lot about you

And what does it say about you lot hating on a captain who is our best ever since IK???????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????????????????????? ????????????????????????????????????

[MRSN]

at this time SL were 66-6. THis game looks close.

[Syed1]

Like I'm supposed to remember the number of times they chased down totals within 12 overs and which format was which. All I know is we've chased totals down quickly quite a few times.

Few = three

[Shinwari Khan]

Sri Lanka will bat tomarrow? I guess??

[babajee]

England won like 8 out of 9 ODIs against us here on the same pitches.

We beat them in Abu Dhabi bowling them out for 216.

Like other posters have said Abu Dhabi is a much different wicket to Dubai/Sharjah

[Abdullah719]

I would rather have Shehzad than minnow basher Hafeez.lol at least Shehzad has a 100 against SA in SA.

How about someone else though?

[MRSN]

yeah you are supposed to note them down to counter Sayed1...

[Syed1]

Shehzad out for 44, good knock.

Kaunsa match dekh raha hai bhai?

[Shafi]

Torture end!!! Shehzad gone

[Rana]

And what does it say about you lot hating on a captain who is our best ever since IK???????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????????????????????? ????????????????????????????????????

I dont hate him, I am starting to hate him because of people like you who try to shove him down our throats due to a regional bias. You create more friction here on PP than I have ever seen

[IAJ]

Sanjaya has bowled well.

[7sins]

Perera captaincy is better than tharanga

[Abdullah719]

Kaunsa match dekh raha hai bhai?

[mak36]

Shehzad out for 44, good knock.

In the same way Shoaib Malik took 12 wickets today.

[MRSN]

How about someone else though?

all I'm saying Shehzad can be more useful than mr. Hafeez in tough matches. In the middle order I would like Harris and Amin preferred over Hafeez.

[Syed1]

Hahaha smart

[mak36]

http://www.pakpassion.net/ppforum/showthread.php?251253

I had completely forgotten about this.

Well played.

[Rana]

Hafeez's scoring area, behind the wickt, point, third man. Specialist in those areas. Dancing down the track against the spinner for sixes as well

[mak36]

all I'm saying Shehzad can be more useful than mr. Hafeez in tough matches. In the middle order I would like Harris and Amin preferred over Hafeez.

There isn't a rule which says one of them should play.

Both are useless and should be dropped.

[IAJ]

I dont hate him, I am starting to hate him because of people like you who try to shove him down our throats due to a regional bias. You create more friction here on PP than I have ever seen

I totally agree with you. Never seen such regional bias here before. I am neither from Lahore nor Karachi but can’t believe people set a city above a whole country and create so much friction for no reason.

[mak36]

Malik is looking good.

[Plumb]

could have send faheem.. but no hafeez need to come and look like million bucks..hafeez trolling pak cricket forever...

[MRSN]

We beat them in Abu Dhabi bowling them out for 216.

Like other posters have said Abu Dhabi is a much different wicket to Dubai/Sharjah

irrespective of pitches Pakistan's batting looks unlikely to post or chase 300 with this team against top four.

[Sirris]

Once again are our senior legends helping us out from a very tough situation. Appreciate them while they are still around.

[7sins]

Its sad we found sharjeel and coaches fixed his issues and then he went for more money and fixing matches

[IAJ]

irrespective of pitches Pakistan's batting looks unlikely to post or chase 300 with this team against top four.

Don’t be so negative. This is a very good batting unit, take out Shehzad and Hafeez and bring in Farhan and Haris and you have a very good team for years to come.

[Rana]

I totally agree with you. Never seen such regional bias here before. I am neither from Lahore nor Karachi but can’t believe people set a city above a whole country and create so much friction for no reason.

Bro it was never so apparent until I came across this Syed dude. He becomes an enemy to anyone that gives some precedence to Lahore players. I loved Saeed Anwar as a player, Ive screamed for Afridi, Ive watched diligently when Younis Khan batted his long innings. The last thing I could care about is which province these guys belong to.

If these match threads are going to be a platform to dish out dirt against players because of which Province they belong to, I sincerely think there is no need to have them on a Pakistan fan's forum.

[babajee]

irrespective of pitches Pakistan's batting looks unlikely to post or chase 300 with this team against top four.

Different format.

Last time Pakistan played a Top 4 team in ODI they scored 338

[Sirris]

could have send faheem.. but no hafeez need to come and look like million bucks..hafeez trolling pak cricket forever...

They sent him early in the last ODI when there were only a total of 11 runs left. It had more to do with senior players just didn't want to be bothered than management thinking out if the box.

[IAJ]

Shot Hafeez

[Rayyman]

irrespective of pitches Pakistan's batting looks unlikely to post or chase 300 with this team against top four.

Especially with Ahmed Shehzad in the team.

[MRSN]

That was plumb lol

[Syed1]

Different format.

Last time Pakistan played a Top 4 team in ODI they scored 338

Also if we batting second chances are we won't even need to score 250 let alone 300

[another drop catch]

Hafeez should get Man of the Match

[7sins]

Lahore pitches were far better then these useless pitches we should try out best to atleast start our limited matches to pakistan by next year

[IAJ]

Shaba’ umpire

[Ummii]

If they are thinking to stick with shezzy like forever then i think hafeez would be even better choice than shehzad..even after bowling ban..

[babajee]

Also if we batting second chances are we won't even need to score 250 let alone 300

Yaar... i thought you didn’t read my posts because they were so cringe.

[Syed1]

Yaar... i thought you didn’t read my posts because they were so cringe.

Sometimes they are acceptable

[Syed1]

Malko makes thing interesting and run Hafeez out

[babajee]

Sometimes they are acceptable

Bohat bohat shukriya

[ask_analyse_act]

Waqar commented about pak having a set batting lineup compared to SRL. When waqar was the coach only MISBAH and openers knew where they will bat lol.

[Plumb]

From CricInfo:
shakeel: "Every cricketer has a low point in his career. Shehzad will bounce back and play consistent knocks for Pakistan soon. "

I would really like to meet this guy!!

[IAJ]

Oye araam nal Hafeez, is tara te na kar na

[IAJ]

Wow ethe rakh su, four

[mak36]

I totally agree with you. Never seen such regional bias here before. I am neither from Lahore nor Karachi but can’t believe people set a city above a whole country and create so much friction for no reason.

Look at the threads more carefully and you will see there are a lot of posters who hate Sarfaraz because he is from Karachi, which is pretty disgusting (same for any other city too).

[IAJ]

Poor fielding

[Markhor]

Come on you have to be taking those catches.

[Plumb]

We really deserve a captain like azhar/misbah in short formats.. found a great captain and people are after him like no tomorrow. Give Sarfi some break ppl..

[another drop catch]

From CricInfo:

kahin yeh shakeel sheikh toh nahi ? ? ?

[Rana]

Its your way of reading it, i strongly condemn it! He is a great captain, always wanted him to be the captain and want him to remain captain as long as he plays.

[JibranAnsari]

only malik has looked like a batsman

[7sins]

Pakistan fans kabhi khush nahi ho sakti. Make azhar your captain than or imad wasim i saw a couple of post regarding him becoming a captain

[Syed1]

We should play two maidens on the trot to make it close

[ask_analyse_act]

May be shehzad himself in a different name.

[IAJ]

I am not denying that, and that is not acceptable either. But the guy I am talking about takes it to another level.

The only thing I have against Sarfraz is his screaming to his own players, but has nothing to do with where he is from. He is from Pakistan, he is Hafiz-e-Quran and he recite naats, and these things make me love him.

[Rana]

You have a weird hatred of Sarfaraz.

I dont hate him, as I said elsewhere, when your Khi boys make it seem as if im a Lahore supremacist because of my support for a "PAKISTAN" player who happens to be from Lahore, I just need to show them the mirror sometimes.

You shouldnt throw stones if you live in a glass house. it is the same Sarfaraz who can ask for Shahzad to be dropped if he doesnt think he is suitable enough. It turns out that we just dont have any options besides him at the moment.

[JibranAnsari]

is shehzad absolutely essential in the squads? why cant we get rid of him?

[Ummii]

Too much Bouncers by lankans lol
But too late

[Syed1]

All in all pretty bad from us to take this long to chase 100 odd... should have looked to smash it in 12-15 overs.

[another drop catch]

3 needed in 3 overs
why are we playing this lankan side

[MRSN]

Don’t be so negative. This is a very good batting unit, take out Shehzad and Hafeez and bring in Farhan and Haris and you have a very good team for years to come.

This is pretty much the same batting line up that traveled to Aus and England for bilaterals minus Sharjeel who was actually our best batsman and we still couldn't put up decent totals.Our batting is pretty much one dimensional. We lack a power hitter down the order. We are still trying to find a reliable batting all rounder. Our middle order consists of Baber,Hafeez,Malik and Sarfraz. Can you honestly believe Hafeez and Malik and even Sarfraz to bring their best against teams with better pacers? Then we have hit and miss Fakher with confused Shehzad at top. The only thing going right for Pakistan is bowling.
