We are a rubbish minnow bashing team. Accept it. The T20 drama was put to rest in South Africa as well. Yes I know we were without the master tactician.

Not really regarding the t20. We only lost by 6 runs in one match and 7 in the other. It happens. But the odi killing is real
 
We need a spin coach & someone better than Azhar Mehmood, who has only talked with his mouth and done nothing to improve technique of our bowlers. Amir being the prime example
 
This Tapal tea endorsement is getting OTT and rather cringey now ...
 
I dont know why but when our players make hundreds they are very ineffective, other teams players get those big daddy hundreds

What does 1 win against New Zealand prove lol? In the game we lost our full strength batting line up was full exposed by Boult.
 
Finally someone acknowledging on air. That we dont have a spin coach
 
Azhar Mehmood looks like he is done with his life. Someone should put him out of his misery and let him enjoy all the free money he has made during his tenure
 
Pakistan are headed for their 33rd (THIRTY THREE !) defeat in 46 ODIs against a top ranked side in UAE since it became our adopted home.

That's astonishingly poor and a sign of Pakistan's long term 50 over cricket decline.
 
Australia will beat us black and blue at the World Cup. The pitches will suit them more than these pitches.

Our players play for personal milestones and celebrate with cake cutting instead of overall benefit for the team.

To be honest Mickey hasnt done anything right as a coach. Won the CT based upon true brilliance from Hassan Ali and some other new guys who got into the side only bcz of PSL, mickey had no role in finding them.

I know i will get hate from all corners here but i think captain has a lot to do in our CT win when we were no 8. Before that we lost 4-1 against Eng with similar team and coach. If you see PSL Sarfraz as captain has achieved far more than Mickey as coach with a team which was considered underdog before season 1.

I like Mickey for some things he did for us and he deserves the credit in developing players like Babar and the culture he has brought to our team but Sarfraz understands Pakistani cricket and our talent better than Mickey imo. Mickey might be no 1 coach for SA but he lacks in some aspects from Pakistani cricket perspective for example our dependency on proper spinners.

Why is Harris Sohail bowling? Is it because of Finch

Complete dominance by Australia

We fought back in the second game, and were well on course in the third game before rain interrupted.

What do you want us to do? Excuse ourselves from the World Cup altogether, because our B/C team is getting bashed by a side who beat the number one team in the world in their own den? What is this continuous rona dhona going to achieve?

And BTW, Boult was smacked like a rag doll in the second game for 80 odd runs.

And the coaches we have are as good as not having one.

Grant flower is our batting coach while recently saked by Aus Mickey Arthur is our head coach and Azhar is our bowling coach and we have Inzi as selector who showed nothing in terms of his talent hunting skills while he was captain as well:

Yes I am sorry I forgot the third ODI where New Zealand were 60/7 while chasing 350, and we were robbed by rain.

Only in Pakistan is a win guaranteed when the opposition is 30/1 while chasing 280.

Player development is one task of a coach but not the only one. Main task is to make a winnings team.

It's a reality check for some of our fans who are overjoyed with a score of a measly 280 when batting first.

With Munro gone, and New Zealand struggling to pick either Imad or Shadab in previous games, the game was in favor of Pakistan.

Stop getting so worked up when Pakistan don't do well :))
 
Even Dav Watmore had more success than Mickey in every aspect if we dont comsider CT 17
 
Australian batsmen haven't had to take too many chances. Says it all really. The captaincy has been uninspiring and the bowling mediocre to say the least.
 
I would rather have Mohammad Akram or Moin Khan as head coach than Mickey

It was 30-1 in the 3rd game. There was no favourite at that stage.


I didn’t say excuse ourself from the WC but when you see comments and threads saying Australia are rubbish and Sarfaraz will make everything better you just have to put your hand on your heads.

I always told you not to underestimate Australia. At full strength they will be even more dangerous. The squad Inzi will select can’t compete with top teams. We should just admit we are unlikely to get to the semis.


Boult is world class. Our batting line up is crap other than Babar.

All-Credit-To-The-Boys-They-Played-Really-Well is a potato of a selector. I agree. You can predict a guy who couldn't assess whether there is a single or not, can be a good selector? Think again. I mean, he literally got run out so many times. Irrelevant, but when you relate it with cricket intelligence, you would call him a stupid as one who couldn't even assess properly whether he would be able to complete a run or not.

Anyway, Mickey is good. It's the Flower & Azhar riding a free ride. They should have been sacked a year ago. Now, we can only ask for damaged control. What tips could Azhar have imparted Shadab going for runs? Or Yasir? Or, better yet, what did he do with our pacers? It's absolutely shame how our pacers started bowling with wobbly seams, losing pace & not finding any help. Why is he there? To talk in good english and to write for Pakpassion?

I absolutely hate him due to the lack of improvement in our bowling department. I want him gone. Never before we have suffered because of bowling. We previously used to lose because of poor batting. Even with 280, our bowling should have been able to defend it. Absolute shame what is happening

Team management is a really important aspect of modern day cricket and is the one least talked about.

A good backroom staff can convert a mediocre player into a useful one while a bad backroom staff can make a team consisting of stars to perform at mediocre level

It was 60-40 in our favor, but they far from out. Ultimately it was 1-1. Nothing to gloat about.

Even 2-1 means nothing considering the thrashing in New Zealand and the Asia Cup.

Pakistan not doing well is the norm. You make it sound like an exception.
 
Capture.jpg

Blame this guy for our abysmal bowling performance. Where is a wicket? Or two? I mean 280 is not a bad score.
 
Quite sad to see Pakistan so impotent in these few ODIs with the ball.

And you were the one who said Munro won’t last a year in international cricket, and now you are using his dismissal as a reason for Pakistan’s favorable position in the match.

Not sure where I have said Australia is rubbish or Sarfraz is our saviour? If I don't believe Australia (full strength or not) are good enough to steamroll everyone at the World Cup, I'm underestimating them?

Sure, people who would like to believe we can't compete, will believe that. People who want to be optimistic, will be optimistic.

The point was Boult got exposed a lot more so than our batting line-up in that series.
 
I would have waqar coach our guys instead of current coach who appears more lost than our bowling unit
 
When Australia chased down 280 comfortably the other day why would you bat first again?

This is 320 wicket but our rubbish batsmen made people think 280 is a massive score.

They might get better in Abu Dhabi and Dubai and than onto Eng where there might be it more help but that shouldnt hide the poor tactics, strategy and plan.

Torture seeing Pakistani spinners struggling while Aussie spinners took 3 wickets and kept things tight.

And Aus has the worst spin attack for a non-Asian team currently.
 
Waqar needs to come back as bowling coach. I’m done with azhar.
 
Pakistan bench strength's lack of penetration is disturbing.
 
Pakistan bowling is so overrated.
Pakistan bowling is a bigger worry than our batting.
In SA tour our bowling was so poor

Boult quality will shine through eventually. Sarfaraz, Malik, Hafeez, and Fakhar will be exposed again.

Atleast we were winning home tests under him and he didnt even have luxury of players coming through of PSL under his tenure.

He surely should be our bowling coach any day.

Let's not go there again. Two failed stints including 9th and 7th in ODI and T20I rankings is enough evidence.

Bowling coach. But I cant think of him working under Mickey, so may be replace Mickey with someone senior than Waqar who could keep him on a leash
 
it's as if pakistan national team has the same curse that the lahore qalandars have

Test team was Misbah's baby regardless of coach. We were winning series even under Mohsin the cheerleader so not sure how much credit goes to Waqar.
 
Pakistan fast bowlers lack of new ball skills is alarming , they just do not have bowlers who can bowl with new balls. That will hurt them big time in WC
