Asia Cup 2023: Super 4: Pakistan vs India | 10-11 September | Colombo | India innings

Imam and Babar should bat with a healthy strike rate today. This pitch is ideal for batting. No excuses will be accepted.
Both won’t be batting rain coming Pak keep travelling to Lanka just to giv lnd batting practice
 
I don't know who you are. This is the first time I'm seeing your post, but it is enough for me to know that you don't know what you are talking about.

You cannot have a solid ODI team when Shadab is your premier spinner.
Shadab is not that bad as you are portraying. Any player can have a bad match. He has performed well in matches and produced match winning performance. I will never ever take usama or abrar instead of shadab as he can bat and field well also.
 
Shadab saves 12 runs in boundaries every game. But in response he gives away six 6’s when bowling (ontop of his run a ball 60 off 10)…

he is bad. I used to defend shadab around here, but i saw hi stats other day against every side. He avgs above 30 agianst every side in odi. Thats terrible
 
Even if we make the final now, with this game raine doff India will be so used to our bowling that they will smash us...we, on the other hand, will have had no exposure to the Indian bowling attack...
 
delay tactics by babar azam, he wants rain to save him. Pathetic
 
Once again everyone is pressing the panic button. Just relax. Pace bowling isn't an issue I'm telling you, and India isn't that great.

These posers will struggle especially with rohit and kholi in proper pitches in the world cup.

Shadab is a big problem though. Genuinely needs to be replaced with imad waseem but we know that won't happen.
 
Babar clearly wants to get off....
3 overs of spinner needs to be bowled
 
Shadab has improved his batting skills , but bowling display has gotten worst. Pakistan need a specialist spinner in squad for world cup
 
Spin seems to be a problem for Pakistan. Is it too late to make a change?
 
Seems like heavy rain will arrive in Colombo looking at the clouds.
Pak overs will get reduced if play is able to go on after rain.
 
Pak fans worrying about KL. Indians fans too worried after his performance today. The mental midget will play next 10 matches and going to fail miserably in pressure situations.
 
Faheem has done his job well, only if he was able to take a wicket. Last three overonly one lucky boundary for Kohli.
 
Guys India is not that dangerous. Look at the gane through 2 lenses.

After this garbage Asia cup boils over, do you seriously think with kholi's current form, a guy who's struggling to score on a batting paradise pitch, and rohit who scores once in a blue moon + India's longest tail will make it far in the world cup?

Our pacers aren't the problem, our spinners and our garbage middle order? Yup that needs to be checked.
 
It’s a good batting wicket. No need to panic. Keep the damage to as minimal. Anything under 315 should be chase able but if they get 330above, less chance..
 
Kohli wasted juicy ball from Shadab. The ball on which he took single and completed his fifty could've gone to six.
 
This. If we have still not understood this then there is something wrong with our cricketing intelligence.

The question is does coach Dravid not have this cricketing intelligence ? Or is he picking his fellow Karnataka-ian out of bias ? Or is someone in the BCCI top level forcing his hand ?

He is an awful bowler.
 
Kohli came to form in the bd series with that hundred in the 3rd odi on a road. Now looks like found his old mojo!

I agree on your comment on Shadab, teams who play spin well will smash him .

What are your thoughts on Usama Mir
 
Fakhar, Usama/Shadab and Fahim need to be replaced ASAP. Masood, Abrar and Zaman/Ihsanullah should be draft in
 
Shadab Khan's numbers since 2019 WC updated:

Batting avg - 29
Bowling avg - 40

If we just include the teams participating in the 2023 WC (so removing WI, Zim, Nepal bashing):

Batting avg - 24
Bowling avg - 56

That's our Vice Captain and premier all-rounder ladies and gentlemen.
 
There is one factor which a lot of people here bashing your spinners might have to consider, outfield might be wet - makes the ball damp and heavy and not conducive to spin
 
Really wish we were in to bat because this is borderline unwatchable. Faheem Ashraf running in for his bog standard medium pacers is as boring as it gets. I'm in favour of only keeping reserve days for knockout games. The desperation to have this fixture play out in full is pathetic. A total washout would be mercy for Pakistan. But it's evident under this captain Pakistan will get obliterated at the World Cup.
 
So Pak has no left arm spinner when Ind has many right handed batsmen? Gotta go with that left arm spinner forgot his name who can smoke it.
 
If only chacha had some variety, the guy can spin. But needs more variety in his bowling
 
did they need Faheem to bowl the 39th over? They have 11 overs from Rauf, Shaheen, and Naseem
 
I agree on your comment on Shadab, teams who play spin well will smash him .

What are your thoughts on Usama Mir
Usama is clearly a better bowler. He has consistently bowled better than Shadab and there isn’t daylight between the two in terms of batting either, but unfortunately, he doesn’t have the golden boy tag which has allowed Shadab to play for 7 years and counting with no accountability.
 
What is nature of Rauf's injury?

Please see

 
Feel that India is going to go on a rampage from here
Let's see if Shaheen can contain them
 
Rahul can go into a shell at anytime. The man can have the opposition at his mercy, but he becomes a kitten for no reason.
