Pakistan still playing cricket from the olden days.
267 was way below par.
Guys like Hafeez, Azhar, Asad are not batsmen for the modern ODI format...

Decent platform set by Pakistan to go big in the last 10. Unsure why akmal is batting at a SR of 50!

Probably batting for his place in the team 

[ppccopener]

why is akmal in the team at all? he's like the comeback kid

there's no other keepers after the main guy went home?

Mo Riz is keeping, not akmal... This is Umar Akmal we are talking about

High time for Pakistan to split the teams for the 3 formats and hand ODI and T-20 captaincy to Sarfaraz. Unless a player shows sufficient talent to play in all 3 formats, keep the players in their suitable format's team.

Hafeez should retire and Azhar should focus on Test cricket. Let Sarfaraz build the ODI and T-20 teams.

Agreed

Not sure Asad Shafiq is suited to the shorter formats either!

Pakistan played 152 dot balls in their last ODI game. That's more than 50%, simply not good enough. If an international player is unable to rotate strike, he shouldn't be an international.

Sharjeel is good! He needs more backing from the captain and opportunity.

Well his opening, so his getting backing and opportunity at present

[smilley792]

Warners odi form is rodiolcouls!! Another ton.

Aussies on 200 for 0 with 20 left. Big score should be achieved here.

[csnew]

Warner misses out on a double 100! Pakistan must be sick of him smashing them around

[wasted_talent]

Pakistan are a shockingly rubbish ODI side.

They need a major clear out. Their batsmen have a tendency to play for themselves rather than show intent to chase down scores.

Guys like Umar, Hafeez, Malik should all be retired.

Guys like Azhar, Asad shouldn't be anywhere near the short format sides.

Sad part is, they will all play until the World CUp 2019... and only be cleared out thereafter.

Babar Azam, Sharjeel played well. One of the Akmal's also had a good showing. Pakistan did lose the match but it was a fighting loss, they scored over 300+ runs. It was not an out-an-out debacle.

Hafeez should change careers to something else.
Azhar is better off in Test cricket.

S. Malik just had bad luck.

[csnew]

Hardly call it a fighting loss, they never attempted to keep up with the scoring rate or go for the score

If they had done that, you'd have dug up something else to criticize/malign them. I am sensing a pattern here.

They did alright. Sarfaraz didn't play. Shoaib Malik got injured. Sharjeel and Babar _did_ setup the match for the middle order to wrap it up.
