Did Pakistan have crowd support in 2004 when it won the ODI series 4-2? They also won in 1987, 1999 as well. What about series whcih they won in 2013? Those teams had match winners and this team lacks them. Forget match winners this team doesn't even have proper 6 hitters. Stop blaming the crowd. I remember salman Butt scoring a 100 and taking pakistan to victory in front of 90k hostile crowd in Kolkata. How did pakistan lose by 228 runs in SL? Or was taht played in India too? This particular team is mediocre. PERIOD!!!!!!!!!!What else is Rizwan supposed to say? In case anyone has missed it, there is next to zero support in India, with the exception of a few paid shills.
All you haters can claim that Pakistan should be mentally strong enough to play in a hostile nation that literally hates every inch of Pakistan, but go try it yourself - easier said than done. Never in the history of any WC in any sport has a team faced such hostility, not even Iran, when they played Amreeka in the FIFA WC, in Amreeka!
Of course Rizwan will mention the people of Pakistan! He is trying his best to boost moral within a team that is clearly suffering from a negative mindset, and if I am not mistaken some of the players were recovering from a virus infection too!
Go watch the Warner drop today in slow motion and all you have to look at is the body language!
And yes the people of Pakistan do love their cricket team, all you have to see are the daily haters who despite their hate for Pakistan, still follow every Pakistan game, ball, post, and result yet have a problem with optimism!
We need positive vibes! Criticise all you want but there is something known as constructive critisim!
Pakistan doesn't have a talent problem, it has a mindset problem! Fix the mindset and Pakistan is an unstoppable team!
