Pakistan vs World XI, 2nd T20I, World XI tour of Pakistan, 2017 - CommentaryPAK vs WXI, 2nd T20I, World XI tour of Pakistan, 2017 - Commentary

Dev: "So for all those comments against Perera, he is the one delivering it." -- What do we know

Rajat: "How is it possible? Amla plays two consecutive balls 13.1&13.2 for single" -- They ran one short, hence..

Surya: Have to say ... The present Pakistan team looks very intimidating. With Hafeez and Azhar in the bank they look good in all the three formats.

Pranesh: Can't wait for Collingwood to get into bat. Exciting!

Sachin Bansal: "What was the criteria of the selection of world XI squad??" -- Courage

Akshay Patidar: "Are these stats going to be counted in offical T20I stats of players?" -- Yes

Shoyeb: "Wooble in the end, that's the Pakistan I know."

Mark: "Suddenly Thisara becomes favorite to retain his place in team and Cutting to make way for Elliot." -- Now tell that to the Sammy fans out there and pray for your life

Sam: "@Manoj, Sammy can't bowl, He is injured. that's probably the only reason he is not in today and Thisara Perera (overly expensive bowler) is playing." -- He'd walk into any team with figures of 3-0-23-2 in the death

Salman: "@Sandeep: I've been thinking the same but I'm wary of drawing any parallel too early. How many times have we seen emerging Pakistani batsmen being compared to modern greats only to see them falter after few matches."

Manoj: "@SJ But Sammy is a good player when it comes to 20 overs match.He should've been included in today's match instead of Thisara Perera." -- You are one of the millions who've said the same with their comments

Sandeep: "Babar Azam's construction of innings reminds me of Virat Kohli's innings. Minimal risky shots, excellent running between wickets, playing in front of square early in the innings - some characteristics of their innings."

SJ: "@Lord Buckethead, Sammy is a crowd favorite for sure, however, his cricket skills have diminished alarmingly in the last 3/4 years. So much so, that except in PSL and CPL, he doesn't get to play anywhere else."

Aaqib: "Sitting in my office in London and there is more excitement out here for this than there was for the England-West Indies Test."

Lord Buckethead: "I will repeat - Sammy should have been played. Give the crowd their fav player."

Rony: "What could be the projected score? I think 180 on the board." -- Mickey Arthur in a chat by the boundary said they are looking at 170-180 too

Anurag: "Is this match is a new hope for Pakistan's cricket future in Pak?" -- Small steps

Simon Veh: "Wish we could have a poll to know who is watching from where. Am sure Indian's out number any one else, by huge huge margin." -- There are a few benefits of having a population of a billion and a half ;)

Devesh: "@Vinay: Ahmed is striking better today than Babar."

Vinay: "Isn't Ahmed Shezhad a real misfit in the T20 format?" -- He's probably been given the role of the anchor. But to be fair, he started off his career through T20s

Bimarsh: "Doesn't the WXI team look empty without ABD, Virat, Dhoni and Joe Root?" -- Well more than a World XI, this is an eleven that were available to tour. Also, this in the truest sense is stuff for the long term

Rahul kumar dubey: "Which team will visit Pakistan next? Any idea?" -- The PCB has been trying to convince Sri Lanka to come in for a T20. They are also in talk with West Indies for a T20 series

Shoaib: "Are you surprised that Samuel Badree hasn't taken the new ball?" -- A 12-ball-old ball is still considered new in most worlds
