Re: Pakistan v Australia 1st ODI @ Sharjah

What's even worse PPL still think some already used (tried/tested -> Failed) options can take us forward ;)

As GA + Kaka wrote it's the pathethic state of our batting which has cost us hell lot of games ..... i've given up evebn counting them how many we've lost due to batting collpase either setting a target or chasing :(

Not playing all 50 over? Crime. Pure Crime. That has cost us the game. Even tuk tuk would have give us 20 more runs in those last 5 overs.

Excellent bowling by spinners. To make it hard for Aus to win when target is under 200 is something.

Either Hafeez or Afridi

Cant afford them both in the team!

^ Drop Kamran

play Shoaib Malik in his place

and ask Umar Akmal to keep. He cant do worst than Kamran....

We are really lacking a fast/medium all rounder.

all of our all rounders are spinners

One of the top 4 batsmen needs to be making a 90 or 100 every game, they’re the ones that are expected to play the max. number of overs. We need to ensure those top 4 are capable of getting those scores. The failures and problems we have with the top and middle-order are well-documented and need addressing but I also believe that it is unacceptable that we are getting no support in batting from the lower order

To go from 160/4 at one stage to 198 all out must be a joke. Just proves that** o**ur **lower order offers absolutely nothing with the bat. **
Australia also slipped to 67/4 but they had Bailey and Maxwell (two novices in international cricket) to bail them out!!

Misbah has put the loss down to absence of senior batsmen (???) and lack of contribution from the lower order

What senior batsmen were missing?

Younis who’s rubbish in ODIs?

Malik? who’s a tail-ender with the bat these days

Razzaq (who should have been selected for the ODIs imo)
