Re: Pakistan vs Srilanka - 2nd ODI, 9th June 2012
Don't forget that was against India (arch rivalry, adrenaline effect), batting first and the final score was mainly courtesy of two players (Hafeez, Nasir Jamshed)
even in that game should have made 350 after the start given to us by the openers (i.e. the middle order did not perform as well as they should)
When such a big score is made by two players the rest do get out trying to keep the momentum going. When the going is good it always seems the team will score more than they eventually do.
Re: Pakistan vs Srilanka - 2nd ODI, 9th June 2012
and who was it today?
Re: Pakistan vs Srilanka - 2nd ODI, 9th June 2012
Do we really have 5 or 6 batsmen in our team.. Misbah should have see it coming,
Afridi had just played his day in the 2nd T20, thinking that he will perform with bat or ball was plain stupid
Akmal just played an OK inning in last ODI ( if i am not wrong, it was ODI or 2nd T20, rarely he plays a good knock, so it is hard to recall) so he was not going to perform as well…
Hafeez is iffy batsman, can get out anytime,
Younis is good player, but was not able to perform,
The match was over the moment Misbah got out we play with 3 Batsmen + a batting all rounder, rest of the team can be called Tullay at best…

Younis I don't even remember whn he performed good last time, he should retire

He did performed in the last series at Sharjah against the same opponents, i agree in this series, we should had Asad Shafique at One down, he is decent bat
Re: Pakistan vs Srilanka - 2nd ODI, 9th June 2012
N wht about hammad azam, even I think Malik should be given chance, n Ahmed Shezad , n 1 thing sure v need a wicketkeeper who can bat as well
Re: Pakistan vs Srilanka - 2nd ODI, 9th June 2012
Need 6 solid batsmen and not more than 2 tuk tuk players (stabilizers) in the team. Younis needs to quit. Play 2 from Misbah, Azhar and Asad
Until and unless our openers give a solid start, even 250 will be a difficult chase for us against anyone because the middle order does not comprise of enough stroke makers who can regularly score at 5 RPO
I reckon this should be our team in ODIs
M Hafeez
Nasir Jamshed
Azhar/ Asad
Umar Akmal
Ahmed Shehzad/ Hammad Azam
Misbah (c)
Afridi (bowling all-rounder) - don't expect much from him with the bat esp. in a big run chase
Sarfraz/Adnan (w/k) - need a better wicket-keeper batsman, someone even half as decent as Moin with the bat
Sami/ Gul / Tanvir (need better options than them)- Fast bowling cupboard is empty, two of the three will do for now
Ajmal (the only world-class bowler in the side)
singles singles singles - if you don't rotate the strike you won't chase down big scores for sure.
Re: Pakistan vs Srilanka - 2nd ODI, 9th June 2012
Fielding was atrocious as always
The game was lost when Pak fielding 'allowed' SLA to make a 250+ score, with our batting and chasing record, it was close to an impossible task
Re: Pakistan vs Srilanka - 2nd ODI, 9th June 2012
did master blaster, future Viv Richards, pakistan's biggest sensation janab hazrat umar akmal play? oh i think he did...but he did not deliver as always.......
Re: Pakistan vs Srilanka - 2nd ODI, 9th June 2012
agree with golden asif that 250+ is impossible for pak.....psychological dead when chasing....actually give them 220+ and the whole team will start behaving like a 70 year old who just realized that he forgot to bring Viagra on his honeymoon with a 20-year old on an isolated beach-town....
