Pakistan tour of Australia (Dec 2016 - Jan 2017)

[Umair7]

Besides Wade & Cummins only 4 players have played every match in this series !! (AUS)
Warner:7,16,35,130,179=367 runs @ 73.4
Head:39,29,23*,51,128.=270 runs @ 67.5
Smith:0,60,108*,49,4=221 runs @ 55.25
Maxwell:60,23,DNB,78,13=174 runs @ 43.5
Looks Good :')

Immense game from Warner and Head! Massive shame that Warner couldn't get 200, threw away his wicket. Perhaps Australia have slowed down a bit at the death but 350+ will be impossible for Pakistan to chase.

At one stage it was looking Aus could touch to 450, Good death bowling in the end by Pakistan

Azhar Ali is a pathetic ODI batsman and captain. I hope we'll never see him playing ODI again, since the news is that Inzamam has asked to change the ODI captain to Sarfraz.

@CerealKiller will be happy now as Azhar gone early.

Every Pakistan supporter is happy to see him leave early.

Babar does lack the ability to rotate strike at will and looks like he need boundaries to get himself set, which is very common from the batsmen from Pakistani Punjab. Also this is one of the biggest difference between all good Indian and Pakistani batsmen, probably Javed was the last Pakistani batsmen to have both abilities of rotating strike and hitting big.

BTW Babar also looks little weak against spinners, so probably he is another good choice to open the innings for Pakistan. It will give him that extra 5-6 overs to get himself set.

Inzy as well and he did far better than Javed, Though two can't be compared, Inzy was more of a power hitter in the later part of his innings with tonnes of match winning performances. If you are eating up balls and can make it up in no time than its fine I guess. The crime is that when you eat up so many balls and when its time to deliver you get out the likes of Hafeez, Malik and Azhar are primary examples...

LOL! Inzy was typical Punjabi batsmen, he was never good with rotating strike and converting ones into two and so on.

He used to make up that with his power-hitting, that was his style, He delivered match winning performances in majority of crunch situations.

PS: Azam and Sharjeel should milk Head, Zampa and Faulkner as much as they can to have a chance. Starc and Hazlewood would be tough for hitting them out

Thats because he weighted 150kg. But he more than made up for it with boundaries and sixes.[DOUBLEPOST=1485423593][/DOUBLEPOST]Having praised Sharjeel, he falls. Really looked good today!

 

[Umair7]

3 down !!!
Starc :')

 

[Ahmad94]

Quality innings from Hafeez today, really different from the norm *sarcasm*

Umar Akmal looks like he's eaten a good meal and come out to bat. How much weight has he put on?

Other day on Game on hai show Wasim Akram and Saqlain were discussing the fitness issue and said Pakistani cricketers needs to be as fit as possible even in off season and how some of the players have gained weight.
Their were heaps of praises for Virat Kohli - how fit and strict he is about his fitness and diet.
