Super 8: 15th Match Pakistan v Sri Lanka

[naresh091]

Hes trying to slog blindly right from first ball.Awful temperament.

 

[Themer]

He literally just swings and hopes now, tis a shame he use to be quite good to watch.

 

[Howsie]

Afridi's batting is laughable.

Why, he is a team player. I?m pretty sure had he come in and Pakistan only needed a run a ball he would not have played that shot.

Howsie added 1 Minutes and 22 Seconds later...

Pakistan needs quick runs and the ball was there to hit. :

 

[nz0003]

If he hit it out of the ground, you guys would of been saying how good he is.

 

[Gurjot95]

Like Pakistan changed the game when Sri Lanka was batting in the same way Sri Lanka also changed the game when Pakistan was batting.

Im not saying just based on this game.Im used to seeing him slogging blindly right from the first ball.
Look at their warmup game against India.He wasnt in a situation to score quick runs.He just tried to go after Irfan Pathan right from the first ball even without knowing the conditions and everything and went for a first ball duck.

 

[Howsie]

Sri Lanka win, Pakistan's batting just wasn't good enough.

 

[King Pietersen]

He would. It's a recurring problem with Afridi's batting in the last year. He's playing on past reputation nowadays. He just swings from the hip and hope he connects. He used to get away with it, but as he's got older he's got worse. He's a rubbish batsman that depends on his past achievements to allow him to bat fairly highly up the order. His bowling has improved immensely though, I'll give him that.

Afridi's days of being called all rounder are over. Now hes just fast spinner.

Well he did say during the innings break that he has worked hard on his bowling over the last two years, and that he doesn?t really worry about his batting anymore. I think the Pakistan team just hasn't realised that yet.

 

[SciD]

Its better for Pakistan to let Afridi open again. Has Razzaq arrived, He can be used in lower order for hitting.

 

[surendar]

To be honest, I don't see even a single win from this Pakistan side in this Super 8. They are as rusted as possible. I was never impressed with the way they started off this T20 journey. It was always below par performance in each and every game with rubbish fielding and bowling strategies. :

I cannot see England winning a game either.

 

[aussie1st]

Pakistan need to get Razzaq in ASAP! Sri Lanka's bowling is looking as great as ever. Still some questions over the batting if Dilshan fails. For SL sake they would want him producing all the way to the final.

 

[nikhil_99]

They need Razzak,he is a good allrounder,also i feel Afridi needs to get his confidence back,he is a key player for Pak

 

[Master Khan]

Afridi is not a batsman for me but he is a great bowler and a fielder....he should open the batting for Pakistan because he scored four centrys by opening.
Hope to see Razzaq tomorrow
