Najam sethi ki bat news main thi ke Usman khely ga usman khely ga oska kiya kam match ke liye player selection main.
Moin is interfering too much He is the reason for fitness problem of Irfan.
Hafeez normally bada cool rehta tha aj to ek fielder ko moti si suna di.

 

[Ottoman]

And WTH was up with Sharjeel Khan's OTT celebration after reaching fifty? It wasn't a 150 for God's sake :fp1:

 

[TheRaja]

I believe it was the first time when he played well infront of some crowd. it happens g

 

[Applesauce]

What if Umer Gul was playing instead of Usman... We could have seen world record for a run-chase.

I must say Hafeez is really a pathetic captain...

 

[sunny945]

so a very good fight in the end by pakistan but i think there were some poor decision's by hafeez in the match. he is not a good captain at all. first of all they should not have choosed to play with just 3/4 specialist bowlers. and if there were so many new youngster's in the game junaid khan should have played in place of either bilawal or usman.and there were poor in match decisions like usman khan completed his over's quota and afridi just bowled 2 overs. every body how how it feels for a 19 year old bowler to start bowling and bowl against World No1 Ranking team and in front of players like sanga.and congratz Ajmal for his 100 wickets in 2013.
on the other hand Aussies are 9 down on 366 and thats look not so well for England. lets see how they bat today.

 

[Benighted]

Hardly the best catch, he himself made a mess of an easy catch.

Anything but. Never easy chasing back so far.

 

[Ottoman]

Trent Boult's catch of the year. Fantastic stuff and he followed that up with 10 wickets in the match

 

[Applesauce]

[MENTION=12458]Benighted[/MENTION] Ok it was a hard catch now that I consider the lighting in the ground and night but with the keeper's gloves he had enough time to get under it, he misjudged it for a while and ultimately pulled it off amazingly with great agility. Hopefully, now you get the point.

 

[Ryuji]

well yesterday pakistan bowled worst than indian bowlers. but no problem kabi kabi ho jata hai . but in batting department sharjeel played good knock. nice fight by pakistani team.

 

[Benighted]

even Maqsood is a regular find(he will be the next Umer Akmal).

Except that he has two crucial qualities that Akmal lacks: A good cricketing brain and defense.

Oh but that remains to be seen, doesn't it? Most people are jumping the gun when it comes to judging a new player.

Compared to Umar Akmal, he is arguably better in the two aspects of batting I mentioned. He displayed it well enough in the SA ODI series.

Now whether he is the next great/Inzi is indeed something that remains to be seen.

I must refer to you Umar Akmal's innings against West Indies in the Champions Trophy 2009. "A good cricketing brain and defense"....... indeed.

Still plays like that.... occasionally. Maqsood has consistently shown good batting sense. Though, whether consistency means anything in such a small number of innings is doubtful and I assume that's the point you're trying to make and you're not wrong. I'm just trying to be prescient, I admit. It's just that air of levelheadedness that Maqsood carries around him that's got me.

Pretty much that, yes. Maqsood has played a total of what.... five innings? Hardly enough to be termed consistent.
But I agree, he has that air of calm and assuredness around him when he comes out to bat. Reminds me of Inzi for this very reason.

 

[sunny945]

so Another hard day for england in the ashes
hopefully Aussies will regain the ashes tomorrow and will end a hat trick for loss.

Heads will roll if England lose the Ashes. A 5-0 whitewash looks highly unlikely as neither side is that good(or bad) as matter of fact.

I wonder why England persist with Bresnan. I would take Finn over that trundler any day of the week.

it will be a pleasure for me if Aussies regain the ashes.aussies fought so hard in last ashes even with a new team.
and yeah bresnan is good for nothing but i think england want a allrounder instead of good bowler just like india and they are paying the price and with broad out they will find it so difficult to make a comback even after this match but yeah there will be no pressure on them after losing this match

Dude when a player lacks ability to take singles, he can not be compared to Inzi in any universe known. As far as Umer is concerned, you need to look at his earlier innings, he looked much better than Maqsood has ever looked, he 'WAS' far more talented then Maqsood can ever be but he let his success goto his head and fell flat on his back. Maqsood still has a choice to learn from his mistakes but the way things are going right now, he is not hard to be figured out by oppositions and if he doesn't learn from his mistakes, he 'WILL' be the next Umer Akmal.
