Shamsi deserved that from Markram, lol.

Revenge

 

[trundler]

Dumb way to get out.

 

[Prince EWS]

Commentators complaining about him not reviewing it - obviously no point given he was run out by a mile as well anyway. Nothing to gain.

Ball was dead after he was given though.

 

[ashley bach]

They challenge the most plumb LBW of all time, then don't review when there's a huge bottom edge.Talk about getting it totally and utterly wrong.

 

[straw man]

Wonder if the Nawaz (3) meme can dig Pakistan out of a hole here.

Nawaz will play a match-losing role at the end of the second innings for the (3)rd time today imo.

That’s my understanding too…in which case, surely it’s incumbent on the umpires to actually alert him to the fact he’s been given out LBW?

Where is that poster who was fighting for Babar & Rizwan ? They are not T20 openers. Rizwan might be better ODI opener than Imam-ul-Haq who is most selfish among these 3.

Babar's 2 T20I hundreds were against 2nd string bowling attacks.

in T20s, you need PROPER* T20 openers. (* more consistent hacks)
Haider & Harris / Saim Ayub are better for this role.

Here are Saim's innings in Semi Final & Final of recently concluded NT20Cup. esp the shot at 16:35 shows his confidence

I know Pakistan have lost a couple of wickets, but the urgency has been great they would have beaten Zim if they had this intent

 

[straw man]

Gotta concede that Rizwan and (especially) Babar's performances this WC are a win for PP thinking over CW.

Yeah it's a shocker, especially after they played well in the revered Banglawash Trophy preceding this tournament.

 

[Prince EWS]

Shadab is such a gun cricketer. Really wish we could see more of him in Tests.

 

[trundler]

Shadab Khan murdering the opposition spinner is becoming a trend. Love to see it.

 

[Burgey]

Shamsi a proper pie chucker.

 

[StephenZA]

I don't quite know how I feel about playing Shamsi in front of Maharaj... either need to play both or just stick with Maharaj.

 

[Prince EWS]

Shamsi - 1/36 off 4, a horrible misfield for four and forces Rabada to bat 8. Can't say I think that selection worked.

 

[Burgey]

123-5

When they weren't getting cleaned up by Macewell.

 

[ashley bach]

Score moves along to 1 2 3 4 5....where's @Flem274*

 

[Burgey]

Wonder if they ran special shuttle buses from St Ives for all the expat Saffer fans in the crowd
