Actually my apologies in case you are like 12 or something. All good then.This guy again! Last time he spewed the same garbage India got wiped out of the WC. Also, talk about blind bias - anyone watching the game can see Naseem bowled really well and even dominated Rohit at times. Key difference here is we dropped 2 chances (Yes Gil first ball was a chance) and the slip comedy was something else...game is not over yet homie. Don't put india on a pedestal.
We got a solid team. Fans need to stick it out. Yes - it's ok to criticize the team but being needlessly negative all the time is counter productive. India came with a plan to attack gun bowlers and credit to them they have batted well. Had we taken those two chances things might have tilted our way - but that's what you get with Pakistan. Anyone who follows cricket knows you only judge a game after both teams have batted. On current roster India will NOT pound Pakistan 8/10. It would be a coin toss on who plays better on the day. Wake up homie! Also - like last time. This will be my last response to your garbage @Mamoon
maybe it’s to commentate him for his Mohali innings perhaps?India have their 2 Misbah’s at the crease
Those two may have given pakistan a chance here with a reduced score in 20 oversmaybe it’s to commentate him for his Mohali innings perhaps?
What a reply from Shoabi…Good on you for showing some fans cricket is about going through emotions. Pakistan and this team has something special in them, they wont let india win easily.Actually my apologies in case you are like 12 or something. All good then.
if so why havent they pounded Pakistan in the last few outings we have had since the last 2 years?Full strength India would still pound full strength Pakistan 8/10 times. All this ranking and best bowling this and that means nothing.
We do coin toss to decide the winnerWhat happens if Pakistan gets the reduced target of 181 off 20 overs but then rain intervenes again and there is no cricket possible today.
Does that mean they come back tomorrow and still try to chase the same target on 20 overs?
Maybe they can ask Shadab and Rizwan to make themselves useful by rolling themselves all over the puddles?How will they drain those puddles ?
Well said.Most bowlers in world cricket look average when the ball doesn't swing.
Shaheen's problem is when the ball actually swings - he sometimes overattacks and lacks the patience to just hit a consistent channel.
That's the effect of playing too much T20 when you're trying to bowl six different balls an over.
they do with a rope....How will they drain those puddles ?
If it’s t20 we just go with our t20 line up and stick Imam down at 6/7 or not bat at all. I think we’d actually stand a better chance in 20 overs. Imam is already not going to necessarily be great chasing 300 plus scores anyway if run rate is too high. Though we would probably just go with the same odi line up. But even then I think we stand a better chance.I hope its not t20. Imam isn't a t20 player, so wonder where he'll slot in. And 181 is not an easy score to chase. I'd rather have the game moved tmr, it also gives us a chance cause kholi and Rahul will need to readjust and our bowlers get to readjust as well, meaning we can restrict India to that 260 score again.
I've been saying this time and time again. Shaheen isn't our best bowler. Naseem is. In the NZ series where everyone was getting tonked, naseem was the only one onsong. Even today he was unlucky, he should have gotten gill's wicket early on.Well said.
Shaheen is not only our best bowler our best player by some distance.
As expected, @shariqnoor doesn’t know what he’s talking about.
Imam has chased scores with babar 300 more times then pakistan ever chased in history.If it’s t20 we just go with our t20 line up and stick Imam down at 6/7 or not bat at all. I think we’d actually stand a better chance in 20 overs. Imam is already not going to necessarily be great chasing 300 plus scores anyway if run rate is too high.
Misbah also said the same during the 2019 WC before he was made to eat his words.I don't get the obsession over Shaheen. He's a very average bowler when the ball doesn't swing. He's just hyped because he gets wicket in his first over because of the ball swinging. Doesn't have any bowling IQ when the ball goes gun barrel straight.
Morkel is a good bowling coach though. Shaheen and Rauf not doing well today doesn't mean anything. A player can't perform every match. And Rauf still got the wicket.Pakistan need Mohammed Asif here. Who talk to them about how to set field and how to bowl in 50 overs match. He was a genuis and we need to hire him, who ever think morkel is the bowling coach is wrong.
Cummins, Boult, Bumrah, Hazlewood don't lose the plot and get attacked mercilessly when the conditions don't favour them. Shaheen invariably does. He's still a long way from being a great bowler.Most bowlers in world cricket look average when the ball doesn't swing.

They do. But none of them match Shaheen's magic. I can give you multiple examples of every single one of them. It's just your confirmation bias at play here.Cummins, Boult, Bumrah, Hazlewood don't lose the plot and get attacked mercilessly when the conditions don't favour them. Shaheen invariably does.

Wow. You can't seem to get Misbah out of your head. Incredible obsession. Puts Bieber fans to shame.Misbah also said the same during the 2019 WC before he was made to eat his words.
This is what happens when you see cricket through his lens.
You have to be deluded to come up with this.
Yes they do, I can name countless games where they've gotten thrashed just like shaheen today.Cummins, Boult, Bumrah, Hazlewood don't lose the plot and get attacked mercilessly when the conditions don't favour them. Shaheen invariably does. He's still a long way from being a great bowler.
rain has stopped. outfield is wet
lol, we love to over analyze our bowlers because we watch them play with full attention. WHen it comes to other teams we dont concentrate on them.They do. I can give you multiple examples of every single one of them. It's just your confirmation bias at play here.
He didnt got dominated, he bowled really badly. leg side boundaries are just pies to any batsman.lol, we love to over analyze our bowlers because we watch them play with full attention. WHen it comes to other teams we dont concentrate on them.
We fans expect that we should be getting India 20/3 in every first powerplay. India is also a good team and not some minnow. Shaheen got dominated today, and thats fair enough. Doesnt make Shaheen bad.
You are right that every bowler gets attacked, doesnt mean they are terrible.
This forumn over analyses every pakistani player in general minus a few horrible players like azam Khan or asif Ali where all is forgiven with one good innings but consistent players are bashed at every turn.lol, we love to over analyze our bowlers because we watch them play with full attention.

Alot of bowlers from other sides bowl badly hence they get dominated at times. Doesnt mean their bad bowlers. All the bowlers you've mentioned have been horrible at times and been taken to the cleaners.He didnt got dominated, he bowled really badly. leg side boundaries are just pies to any batsman.
Not that I remember of any since the last world cup. Please remind me.They do. But none of them match Shaheen's magic. I can give you multiple examples of every single one of them. It's just your confirmation bias at play here.
exactly. As soon as shaheen got hit for runs, the comments about him being bad started to come inThis forumn over analyses every pakistani player in general minus a few horrible players like azam Khan or asif Ali where all is forgiven with one good innings but consistent players are bashed at every turn.
Like rn, Virat kholi somewhat slowed down the innings with 8 of 16, and got India from rr 7 to rr 6, but our fans won't bat an eyelash to kholi. However if babar did this, everyone would attack him relentlessly. It doesn't mean virat or babar are bad players if they kill the tempo a few times . Same with our bowlers.
I would play Shadab as a batter instead of Salman agha and drop him. Bring Usama mir. Fahim Ashraf is fine but wasim can play instead of Rauf and Shaheen if needed.Morkel is a good bowling coach though. Shaheen and Rauf not doing well today doesn't mean anything. A player can't perform every match. And Rauf still got the wicket.
Rauf, naseem and shaheen are genuine wicket takers and are needed. We need to get rid of shadab, Faheem and these bits and pieces spinners however. Waseem should be playing in place of faheem and shadab needs to be removed, Management should just focus on abrar and also help him learn slogging and batting skills since in test he ironically isn't that bat in batting, he's able to tonk and hit a few boundaries here and their and shows more intent them shadab.
I don't have a problem with our bowling trio. They are the best Pakistan has to offer and should be backed. However Shaheen is put on a pedestal which he's not deserving of, atleast yet.Yes they do, I can name countless games where they've gotten thrashed just like shaheen today.
Again this forumn over analyses pakistan but conveniently ignores all the times when other bowlers and ATG performed poorly.
Their humans, cricket is a sport where its impossible to score and be economical and take wickets every game and be perfect at the game unless your Sir Donald freaking Bradman.
Shaheen, Rauf and naseem are great. Their not the issue, shadab, Faheem and our spin department in general is.
I've maintained my position on Shaheen since long. He's a terrible old ball and death bowler. And he's not improved.exactly. As soon as shaheen got hit for runs, the comments about him being bad started to come in
happens ... remember 96 qf pak vs ind. waqar was taken to cleaners, dry cleaners.exactly. As soon as shaheen got hit for runs, the comments about him being bad started to come in
That part I agree with. I've advocated time and time again that shaheen is neither better then naseem or Rauf. Nor is he the best middle overs or death bowlers. He's good but not better then stark, Hazelwood etc, I agree.I don't have a problem with our bowling trio. They are the best Pakistan has to offer and should be backed. However Shaheen is put on a pedestal which he's not deserving of, atleast yet.
Likes of England and Australia will eat our non existent batting alive. Kohli is so selfish to shoot another of our LoI trophy campaign down. Rahul has always been pathetic, today is nothing new.I want to know the opinions of Indian fans here.
The openers give a 7.5 run rate start. A couple of wickets go down and Kohli/Rahul slows the entire batting down to 6 RPO. How is that acceptable for a batting lineup of India's caliber.
I can understand a team like SL, Pakistan, WI preserving wickets because of the lack of batting depth but India?
M. Amir is the answer, can he replace faheem ashraf.Shaheen getting smacked here isn't the problem. Anybody can get hit, especially against the class of Rohit and Gill. It's the lack of bowling intelligence that's worrying. Naseem schooled Shaheen today.
than india, really?As for Pakistan, they have a far better batting line-up than ours.
Yeah, funny as it might be so true.Pakistan bowlers have now bowled around 70 overs so far to Indian batters this tournament and have not faced a single delivery. It feels like Jay Shah's master plan was to get some much needed practice against Pak bowlers prior to the world cup
My problem with Pakistan is that we have genuine middle order batsmen and lower order batsmen sitting in our squad.I would play Shadab as a batter instead of Salman agha and drop him. Bring Usama mir. Fahim Ashraf is fine but wasim can play instead of Rauf and Shaheen if needed.
Lol, isn't it the practice to Pak bowlers also ? like bowling 70+ overs to top quality players like Rohit and Kohli.Pakistan bowlers have now bowled around 70 overs so far to Indian batters this tournament and have not faced a single delivery. It feels like Jay Shah's master plan was to get some much needed practice against Pak bowlers prior to the world cup
not shahdab ... come one. he has come a long way.My problem with Pakistan is that we have genuine middle order batsmen and lower order batsmen sitting in our squad.
And we have a genuine pacer like waseem + one extra spin option with usama sitting.
But we opt for bits and pieces players instead. Agha is bits and pieces, Chacha is bits and pieces and so is shadab. Bits and pieces players can be useful but not when you're playing 3 of them in useful middle order positions.
Saud and tayyab are genuine no 4 and no 5, Theirs only room for 2 bits and pieces, I don't see why we're keeping 5 of them. Faheem, Shadab, Chacha, Nawaz, Agha like bro, just shadab and chacha are enough lol or nawaz vs shadab depending on who bowls better and can be a better assesst. Infact imad waseem should be here in place of these 2 lol, he's a genuine allrounder, not a bits and pieces player.
Ye but the Indian batters couldn't play full 50 overs vs pakistani bowlers that it's self is high level bezatiPakistan bowlers have now bowled around 70 overs so far to Indian batters this tournament and have not faced a single delivery.

Oh start to karo ....Game should be shortened now. Overs started to be lost from 6:22 PM (local time).
He has, but I don't feel he's a genuine finisher, he's someone who can be slotted anywhere and can be asked to bowl anywhere, also bits and pieces players aren't a bad thing. Their a good thing, alot of teams have bits and pieces players like contribute and genuinely win you games.Chacha bit and pieces is a bit hash? He has played well recently, hasn't he? The others I agree

Problem isn't with Pakistan playing bits and pieces, it's the fact that most teams tend to play 1 or 2 bits and pieces only, aka players they can slot anywhere to get you good vital runs and bowl a few overs that may slow down the run rate or pick up few wickets.
Pakistan however are playing way way way too many bits and pieces players, especially when they have the option of genuine middle order batsmen (Saud and tayyab), genuine finishers ( Haris) and genuine pacers ( Waseem) in the squad.
Did you watch Hitman's knock today or not?Ye but the Indian batters couldn't play full 50 overs vs pakistani bowlers that it's self is high level bezati
He isn't really riskier, because even at his worst he won't get beaten by sena teams. Faheem is going to get smashed by sena even at his best.Agree mostly. Wasim is a question mark. His radar goes missing at times. He is a better attacking bowling option than Faheem, but a riskier one.
Then you need to check Faheem's economic stats.He isn't really riskier, because even at his worst he won't get beaten by sena teams. Faheem is going to get smashed by sena even at his best.
His stats in international are horrible economy wise. He bowls the exact same line and length at those 128 to 135 kph speeds. He's getting tonked by senaThen you need to check Faheem's economic stats.
Hope the rain stays away! I cancelled my own game to watch thisMovement from the groundstaff. The rain has stopped but the main effort is trying to dry the covers and outfield.
Looks like 32-35 overs gameI think shortened game is bad for Pakistan because they have a few accumulators.
There is no Nawaz in this game.
that bad, han.If it is 35 over game, Pakistan need take wickets quickly to reduce the DLS revised target. If they don't they may have to chase around 250+ in 30-32 overs.
