Asia Cup 2023: Pakistan (128) suffer a massive 228-run defeat against India (356/2) in the Super 4 clash

Despite our good form I always felt that we can have a meltdown if our bowlers have a stinker and we face a good opposition..

Atleast it happened now in a s Super Four Asia Cup game so Mickey can give them an earful in the dressing room…
 
Rain again.

Feel bad for the ground staff. This must by torture for them.
 
Yesterday they canceled the match at the same time but today they are desperate to get to 20 overs somehow someway
 
Looks like Asia cup may just eventually turn out as batting practice sessions for India against Pakistani bowlers. The top 5 batter except Shreyas have all scored 50s

True.

You should read the article on them, basically the sri lankan ground staff are prisoners that are tasked with cover the ground. They have a very systematic way of getting work done

This is on babar. Why did he fail to realize that batting under lights is more difficult when a lot of us could see that from a mile off?

Completely agree and I mentioned that in my post. Bad call at the toss...who are the PCB analysts who would have supported this decision? It seems very odd.

What do you mean by prisoners ?
 
Major said:
why you even argue with these people. Kohli is moving towards the end of his career, and Babar is currently at his peak.
Both are good, but both belong to a different class.

Kohli's class was Williamson, Smith, and Root.

Babar belongs from another class. During Babars time, KL Rahul, Jason Roy etc started playing. Both the players are top players in their respective class.

However, a direct comparison of Babar with Kohli can only be made when both players are retired or towards the end of their career. Kohli is moving towards his end, but Babar has 8 years of milage left.

I wanna say one thing. Usually I tend to agree with you but this time I have to disagree. I've seen both play and kholi is superior lol.

Not that babar is bad or its because of this particular performance I am stating kholi is superior but babar while he is a quality bat, he doesn't dominate the bowling minus a few good t20 games.

He typically takes singles, hits the bad ball and gets his 100 like any modern great, but kholi if he performs will always dominate the bowling. He did that today, he managed to chase a 28 of 8 against us last t20 world cup, he completly thrashed a 2016 Australia etc etc, was man of the tournament and was dominating plenty of times. Kholi's only weakness is chocking a bit during important tournament games unfortunately.

Only time babar dominated was the west indies triple century run and triple t20 games. All against 2nd string bowling attacks.

Babar is a brilliant batsmen no doubt and will defo become an ATG of the game but virat's status has people comparing him to the God of cricket Sachin himself with some arguing virat is superior.

No proper critic of the game in their right mind would ever compare babar to Sachin, or Ricky Pointing or actual top 5 legends of the game.
 
This is where our management needs to step in.

There’s no way it’s safe enough for our players to resume play especially with the WC around the corner. The last thing we need is one of our players slipping over just so we can get a result of a meaningless game.
 
God dammit, covers coming off

This cat and mouse game

And plz someone makesure Rizwan isnt there putting the covers on and off cause he needs to be batting
 
Pakistan have to reach 200 by the 20th over for victory .. that is too tough.
 
How come shaheen could not swing the new ball while all the indian pacers including pandya were swinging the ball corners?

people that are in prison or jail. The ones that are the best behaved are employed for ground work. They enjoy it cause they get time outside the prison.

Thing is, those covers are parachutes and are quite heavy, so you need atleast 20 people to ahndle one cover. They are divided in three teams. Cricinfo did an article on this, quite interesting.

Shaheen did swing the ball but he didn't hit the right length, he was too full with the new ball targeting the middle and leg which further swung towards down the leg side.

He was bowling wrong lines , just had a really bad day and wasn’t patient with his lines
 
India just need 30 minutes to get the result as jadeja/kuldeep will be super quick
 
I'm also going to add that Pakistan have played cricket across almost 4 days in the last 10...while having taken a flight on occasions. The hosts of the tournament have been disadvantaged in their own tournament far more than any other side. The fielding and bowling looked laboured at times and it's not hard to see why.

I think this match being called off and staying in Colombo without moving back to Pak for the first time all tournament will help Pakistan recuperate massively.

It's such a fiasco, 90% empty seats (a bit better under lights as fans finally started to arrive), little revenue to be had here tbh beside maybe the advertisers being happy if the game carries on for another few hours but it's laughable. The will likley conclude after midnight SL time :mw1
 
50 overs means its advantage pakistan. Because now for them the score to get at 20 overs is 139/2. They need to bat fast.

Par score is better way to win than chasing a DLS interruption target. DLS interupttion target for 20 overs is 200, while a par score fo 20 overs is 139/2

They ain't getting 139/2 in 20 overs

11 overs been bowled and we are at 44/2. Its impossible lol.
 
50 overs will not be bowled out, Pakistan are at a big disadvantage here as if they play normal thy will not score enough runs, and if they play very fast they will for sure lose wickets quickly and will not have enough left to play out 50 overs if the match lasts that long.

On the contrary it would be an injustice for India if they did not win this match. There is no disadvantage for Pak at all. We got ourselves in this mess thereby deserve a walloping.
 
I did say pak will be 50-3 when India were batting.

This is going to be such a battering

Mental midgets when it comes to playing India
 
Dumb captain....bring spinners man. Need to get to 20 overs somehow
 
Lack of proper spinner will haunt them even in WC , Pakistan refuses to learn from mistakes.
 
The whole batting is garbage. I will say this even if we win the tournament.
 
wait a minute. A pakistani player is sponsored by SS??? damnn

If you make a list of Kohli’s top 10 knocks across all formats, you will realize that Babar cannot play such knocks in his dreams.

His innings against Pakistan at the MCG last year alone is bigger than Babar’s career.

Kohli has played at least a dozen knocks better than Babar’s century against New Zealand in the World Cup where he was chasing a modest total on a UAE style wicket.

This is not news
 
Well I am shutting off the TV, Good bye boys. Will check cricinfo in the morning
 
Abe ab wickets ni 20 over complete Karo .ye 2 bar khel ke ni win kar sakte h
 
So what you guys think now - would Pakistan have chased 266 in last game?

:kp
