Alfalah Bank Tournament in Sri Lanka

yaar why cant these players just hold the shots and do what NZ did yesterday....
keep the wickets in hand and go for slog hitting in the last ten overs....

now by the time pak reaches the last 5 overs, they will have just a couple of wickets in hand, if any, and they cant score even then....

i was expecting to see faisal athar in to replace taufiq umar....

yasir hameed was a good replacement, but i heard that athar guy is good, he shud have been tried atleast....
taufiq hasnt played well in this series at all....

Did you guys know that Younis Khan is Left Arm Leg Spinner, why he does't bowl?

A pretty rubbish shot by Younis Khan. Shame not one of the front line batsmen has made a significant score today.

It is because of the pressure from openers getting out at very early, not been able to score because of very good bowling from New Zealand.

Now Latif is out :(

they have to make 150-160 otherwise there will much pressure on the bowlers..

… ladies and gentlemen our own dear experienced laiq captain just showed the great deal of responsibility. :smack:

wow second boundry in this over :hula:

118/6 (39.0)

When senior palyers are palying like that what can you expect from new player. Younis Khan & now Rashid Latif what the hell is wrong with these players, have they forgetten how to play? This is making me sick, someone has to give alot of explaing why Tufeeq palyed every single game when he could not score.

  1. We need strong Opending pair.
  2. Senior Palyers must paly reponsible.
  3. Javid must give new players chance to paly and develop.

i would like to see saeed anwar and imran nazir or saeed and hafeez as oener pair for our team.

Shoaib Malik taking the charge, so far 4 FOURS from 2 overs and PAK moves to 127/6 after 40 overs :k:

Saeed anwar and Imran Nazir make a great combo. :k: I wouldn’t mind yasir too.. he seems responsible and confident. :slight_smile:

malik bhai go for your half-century :hula:

I heard Faisal Ather play just like Yasir Hameed I realy wanted to see him play. I think Yasir and Faisal Ather can probably be a good combo.

Imran Nazir is not a real opener, I would realy try him as opener unless Saeed Anwar can mold him into a agreesive opening batsman.

NOTHING SEEMS TO BE WRONG WITH THE TEAM…A LOT SEEMS TO BE WRONG WITH A LOT OF PEOPLE ON THIS BOARD…
WHICH TEAM’S BATSMEN HAVENT SUFFERED ON THIS PITCH???
HOW MANY HAVE SCORED HALF CENTURIES??? 2??3???
WHAT DO U EXPECT THESE NEW GUYS TO DO…THEYRE PLAYING WELL!!!
COME ON PEOPLE…ITS NOT THAT BAD!

the average score of a team batting first in this tournament in 156....n pak is 137/6.....doesnt seem too bad
Shoaib playin well!

That's the good thing about him, he is not too aggressive like afridi or any other players to put the whole team in doom. He have ability to slowly pace himself and resist on ground suitably and make a firm foundation for his fellow batsmen.

PAK 140/6 after 43 overs, partnership of 32

Malik 47

Razzler 5

And Nazreen we have 50 Malik on 51 and the 2nd fifty by only the PAK player in this tournament. :k: :k:

Pakistan 140/6 (43.0 ov)

Current Partnership: 32 runs, 5.2 overs, RR: 6.00
