Afghanistan walk away with heads held high after tie in last match of Asia Cup against India

[Peshwa]

On a side note... Dhoni is getting dimissed by Javed Ahmedi lols... what days have come for him

Michael Vaughan once dismissed Sachin Tendulkar

 

[Ned Flanders]

He is in the mould of Kohli, can score boundaries but also finish games for the team, just check out this game scorecard in Australia: http://www.espncricinfo.com/series/...india-5th-odi-india-tour-of-australia-2015-16

Damn, India lost 4-1 and Pak lost 4-1 as well.

 

[Sirris]

You're trying too hard mate.

It is called connecting the dots mare.

 

[rhony]

Well I excluded t20s since they are a different format. But even there you can see that Amir will perform in the presence of Kohli.

There is nothing weird about my investigations. Fans used to tell us that Amir only performs on big stages. Like an India vs Pakistan match I thought. However as you all witnessed Amir kept on his bad form despite the importance of the match. Hence my quest to figure out what's the law of Amir performing.

So far from my finding it is better for us if Kohli is playing in the opposition. A champion bowler will only show his skills in the presence of a champion batsman. It is like having a chainsaw, you don't use it to chop vegetables, you use it to bring down giant trees.

That's an illusion. He is clearly out of form. His pace is down and if being dropped doesn't motivate him, nothing will. Kohli would have slaughtered Amir the other day. WHat Dhawan and Rohit did wouldn't even compare. Amir needs to get his rhythm back.

 

[BlackShadow]

Dhoni is like an overstaying guest. On one hand, atithi devo bhava, but on the other, we can't afford to keep him for long.

 

[ftbno1]

Dhoni and DK will be soul reason for our loss I WC.

So in other words you wanna keep Amir bowling filth for 10+ game just to win one game

 

[Ned Flanders]

You're trying too hard to connect them, it makes no sense whatsoever.

I have seen a lot of desperation on PP but this takes the cake.

Reminds me of the Ajay Devgan movie, Athiti Tum Kab Jao Gey

 

[Rohit_Beardman]

Michael Vaughan once dismissed Sachin Tendulkar

Virat Kohli's wickets are Cook, Kock & AB i reckon

 

[BlackShadow]

Reminds me of the Ajay Devgan movie, Athiti Tum Kab Jao Gey

That's precisely whats going on. About time Kohli and Shastri start dropping hints.

 

[szundercover]

There is no way India is gonna loose this game.

 

[Ned Flanders]

That's precisely whats going on. About time Kohli and Shastri start dropping hints.

I feel like Rohit should be the captain tbh.

He would've batted first in the 17 Final

 

[Rohit_Beardman]

That's an illusion. He is clearly out of form. His pace is down and if being dropped doesn't motivate him, nothing will. Kohli would have slaughtered Amir the other day. WHat Dhawan and Rohit did wouldn't even compare. Amir needs to get his rhythm back.

Amir can't win matches single handily, he is not as talented as PP makes him out to be. He would have been dropped if he played for any other country, bowls way too defensively and the beating he took, i think he is going to be mentally scarred for life

 

[Justcrazy]

93 runs only required now.

 

[Sirris]

So in other words you wanna keep Amir bowling filth for 10+ game just to win one game

Exactly!

 

[Rohit_Beardman]

Exactly!

That's a good logic. I hope Amir brings his A game and beats Bangladesh tomorrow and performs like in the next 10 games

good logic

 

[Ned Flanders]

There goes Pandeys chances.

 

[Rohit_Beardman]

dayummm bruh

 

[Sirris]

I have seen a lot of desperation on PP but this takes the cake.

It is ok bro I am not taking a mickey out of the Indian team. Rather I am making fun of those naive die-hard Amir fans who used to come up with these excuses that everything is fine with Amir and all he need is a big stage to perform.

 

[szundercover]

What if india will loose?

 

[Ned Flanders]

India won't lose.

 

[Ned Flanders]

Mixed Pakora

 

[Sirris]

That's a good logic. I hope Amir brings his A game and beats Bangladesh tomorrow and performs like in the next 10 games

good logic

You are right can't have a bigger stage than a match against BD. That ought to bring the best out f a champion bowler.

 

[Justcrazy]

four down

 

[gani999]

Rayudu will be exposed on pitches that aren't dead dodos like the ones in the UAE and against an attack with proper fast bowlers.

He averages 117 in England, in case you didn't know.

He didn't pick his 50+ average out of thin air.

And as for your golden boy Pandey, he can't score against Afghan Trundlers on UAE roads. Let him learn some batting first. IPL isn't everything.

 

[Reddy]

Kumble said even if he gets a 100 he won't be playing in the finals

Kumble has seen these senior team members too close before getting fired, so he knows them well, As people say "Rug Rug say Maafik Hai"

 

[troodon]

Our middle order is a joke.

Pandey and Dhoni are A-grade jokers with the bat.

So Karthik has to win this for India now. Wow!!

 

[Asif321]

280 would have been game over

 

[Rohit_Beardman]

You are right can't have a bigger stage than a match against BD. That ought to bring the best out f a champion bowler.

Amir has played 10 matches this year and is averaging 100.66, picked up 3 wickets only. His wickets are MJ Santner, C Munro & TL Chatara.

Tomorrow is Amir's day, going by your logic

 

[Asif321]

Rashid should get quick wickets bowl Mujeeb with him it’s cruic time 3 wickets here. It’s done

 

[szundercover]

Important phase comming up.

 

[ind_win]

Dead wood at play....

 

[Mahee]

70-30 to Afghan

 

[Nikhil_cric]

He averages 117 in England, in case you didn't know.

And as for your golden boy Pandey, he can't score against Afghan Trundlers on UAE roads. Let him learn some batting first. IPL isn't everything.

Pandey is not my golden boy lol. Average of 50 at a strike rate of 75. Such great stats for the great Rayudu. Pandey had a strike rate of 90 odd. Neither are any good but if the two I'd prefer the one who scores quicker.

 

[Rohit_Beardman]

Pandey, Dhoni, Jadhav, Karthik

In seaming conditions this is trouble

 

[Sirris]

It is okay. You are not a frequent user, my sarcasm is lost on you.

The kind of logic you had to deal with is the kind of logic normal pak fans have to deal with on daily basis.

 

[Justcrazy]

Couple of wickets here will spice up the game.

 

[gani999]

I prefer the one who scores anything at all. If Pandey cannot score against Afghanistan in the UAE he should be playing nothing above Ranji Trophy.

 

[ind_win]

9/10 times, any top 4 teams could easily win this type of match against India. Think Kohli and India are planning for 2024 wc, by giving world cup farewells to deadwood. So much for egos....

 

[Rohit_Beardman]

It is okay. You are not a frequent user, my sarcasm is lost on you.

Nah man I think you're cool, I am high and having a good laugh at your posts

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Oh please . Pandey got 1 chance in the Asia Cup . Rayudu got all the chances.

 

[Justcrazy]

58 required only.

India will be contend to get singles and twos here

 

[gani999]

Oh please . Pandey got 1 chance in the Asia Cup . Rayudu got all the chances.

Rayudu never had to score as long as Rohit and Dhawan were going good. He had to do it today, and he delivered.
Pandey should have finished the game for us . He didn't. He didn't use this golden opportunity to come good. Case closed.

 

[Shandarchowka]

Indian middle order looks strong

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Rayudu never had to score as long as Rohit and Dhawan were going good. He had to do it today, and he delivered.

Oh alright . Case closed cos you said so? Right.

 

[gani999]

Oh alright . Case closed cos you said so? Right.

No. Case closed because your arguments have run out of steam.

 

[Justcrazy]

200 up for India

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Pandey, Dhoni, Jadhav, Karthik

In seaming conditions this is trouble

In every condition it is trouble except for Jadhav who can come good.

 

[Shandarchowka]

Jadhav looks a cool character.. Nice addition to any team

 

[Rohit_Beardman]

No. Case closed because your arguments have run out of steam.

What are you guys arguing about? I am lost

 

[Peshwa]

Rashid showing some aggression
Good to see
Spinner with a aggression of fast bowler

 

[Shandarchowka]

Question to all Pakistan posters -- how did our selectors choose to play just 1 spinner and picked 6 pacers for this Asia cup?

 

[BlackShadow]

Rashid showing some aggression

Spinner with a aggression of fast bowler

He has the most swagger of all current spinners.

 

[Rohit_Beardman]

He's a minnow basher and in English conditions he will struggle

 

[Justcrazy]

Can Afghanistan get few wickets here

 

[Shandarchowka]

The spinners are making the ball do nagin dance here

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Can Afghanistan get few wickets here

Seems answer is NO.

 

[Asif321]

Afghans have been superb should have made finals

 

[rhony]

Amir can't win matches single handily, he is not as talented as PP makes him out to be. He would have been dropped if he played for any other country, bowls way too defensively and the beating he took, i think he is going to be mentally scarred for life

He is absolutely talented as he's proved not too long ago. He's in a slump. There's a difference

 

[Asif321]

Question to all Pakistan posters -- how did our selectors choose to play just 1 spinner and picked 6 pacers for this Asia cup?

Preparing for Olympics we need yo yo test heroes only

 

[Asif321]

Gone

 

[Asif321]

Unlucky Jadhav

 

[rhony]

He averages 117 in England, in case you didn't know.

He didn't pick his 50+ average out of thin air.

And as for your golden boy Pandey, he can't score against Afghan Trundlers on UAE roads. Let him learn some batting first. IPL isn't everything.

I remember Rayudu playing against Aussies just before the 2015 WC. He couldn't put bat to ball. It was embarrassing to watch to say the least. The England series u mentioned we're flat pattas where India won the series. Rayudu is ok on flat tracks but when there is bounce or swing, he is a sitting duck.
Manish isn't better either and has been given a lot of chances. It's baffling we are arguing about these two lalloos while Rahul is warming the bench

 

[Shandarchowka]

Can we see Afghans defeat India now.. Just imagine if it happens

 

[Rohit_Beardman]

Jaddu needs to score at least 20 runs today

 

[Rohit_Beardman]

Can we see Afghans defeat India now.. Just imagine if it happens

This will be close but Afghanistan will choke again

3 heart breaks in a row

 

[pakistani pride]

Afghans have been superb should have made finals

Based on?

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Krathik gone

 

[DRsohail]

OH its getting tougher for india.Jadeja have to rescue them.

 

[Justcrazy]

six down

 

[Shandarchowka]

India on the brink here!!! Super excited

 

[Asif321]

2 wring decions
Afghans on verge of famous win

 

[Justcrazy]

Jadeja is the one who will have to bat through.

 

[Syed1]

Oh God India's middle order is nonexistent... if only we can find a way through their openers with not too many on the board, they will crumble. (Obviously there is the small matter of getting through the Banglas first)

 

[szundercover]

Huge confidence booster for pakistani team!

 

[K4Kohli]

I really wish we lose here to make a case for Dhoni's exit

 

[160KPH]

How many times were you thrashed this series?

India C molesting Afghans.

Pak A struggled against this very side

Told you you were thinking too much of yourself.

 

[Justcrazy]

If Afghanistan can get few tight overs here , India will be under pressure
