Australia (204/8) beat Pakistan (203) by 2 wickets in a low-scoring thriller in the first ODI

JFM is smart, he will look to see out Naseem and then attack Rauf to make up for it”

^^ Who said this 🤣🤣🤣? Someone must not have seen IPL or any aussie local leagues.
I am sick of arguing with people who have Zero knowledge of world cricket but have extremely harsh views for their own youth.
 
I said this in one previous series as well. Naseem plays spin better then Babar
 
He has got the best ball striking ability

Immense wrists
 
What’s supposed to be par on this pitch, anyone?

Just logged in.


So - top 2 failed, Babar and Rizwan didn’t kick on, middle order Didnt do so well, some cameos from the lower order.

That’s what the scorecard reads like.

Tbf 95% of posters are toxic. They blame me for toxicity, but look at my posts from 2023 and now. Their very very few sane people who you can have proper discussions with and even fewer who you actually enjoy having a discussion with.
 
When parchis like Shafiq and Saim are our openers this is always bound to happen. Now blame Jason for everything
 
You haven’t watched him play.

He is as stupid as they come. Anyone who wants to hit every ball for a 4 or 6 will come across as that. It’s just that he has been given the absolute license to play like that without any worry. The selectors won’t tell him to go back and learn how to build an innings if he fails a few times. They will just tell him to be himself.

As I said, Pakistan as a nation is clueless at developing youth.

McGurk certainly is not an ODI batter, yet. Swinging from the hip on IPL pitches is completely different from ODI batting.

Theyre hoping that he is a bit more judicious in shot selection but if it doesn't work out, they will send him back to domestic.

Even someone like Travis Head only made his ODI comeback after smashing it for 2 seasons in the domestic one day Cup
 
About 370
It's mostly a road pitch minus some uneven bounce, but who cares. As if our bowlers can utilise bounce lol. Man I miss Wahab Riaz. He knew how to crack it in Melbourne.

The spinners are getting tonked here, Naseem is bullying zampa it's just our batters make zampa look like a king.

And our genius captain decided to have Agha and Saim bowl 10 overs together on this pitch 🤦🏻🤦🏻.
 
200 + . Something to bowl at. MCG can be a tough pitch to bat on.
Bro, pitch doesn't matter if the gap is night and day.

Remember one thing. A player avg 20 to 30 in Australian domestic is not equivalent to a player avg 20 to 30 in pakiatani domestic.

An aussie domestic lad would avg 50 if he batted in pak domestics lol.
 
200 would be a competitive total. 230 could have been winning score

This I agree with
 
exclusion of Imam ul haq is inexplicable . Guy has 1 hundred and three fifties in South Africa on bouncy tracks similar to Australia. Fakhar smashed 2 hundreds last time he was in SA. and we replaced them with players on premise of low strike rate yet players who came in are worse
 
Deep down there's a Guilty conscience regarding Bumrah.

I agree, He Should be tested so then we can all see how dodgy that action is.
And what will that do?

Sachin is a ball tamperer? 1b Indians forced Icc to reverse the decison but he was 100% a cheat and a fraud yet people rever him as a hero

Abdullah Shafique is a timid player and will be a downgrade from Imam-ul-haq. He was criticized heavily by David Warner continuously for having zero intent and not setting the tone in the first 10 overs.

Saim is just finding ways to get out, just not as good as we thought he was I guess.

Hain? What are you even talking about. Australia is a complete professional side. They select players they believe can do well at this level. If the player does not live up to their expectations he will be sent back. I am very surprised to read this naive stuff from a guy who thinks he knows alot about cricket.
 
Once again our lower order giving our top order a batting lesson.

is there any reason to pick any batsmen anymore?
Abdullah, Babar, Saim and Rizwan are the worst top 4 in the history of pakistan cricket.

And the team sent to Australia is the weakest pakistan has ever sent.

2022 had bowling even if the batting was even weaker, + it was t20 so flaws could be hidden..

This is odi, and it clearly shows how weak the team is.
 
It's just a game at the end of the day. You seem to have lost your mind completely trying to troll a team which is going through it's worst phase in their cricketing history while your golden generation is getting their pants pulled down at home.
Why are you crying ? I was replying to rana when he said rizwan play very slow innings when Pakistan didn't even Play full over.

Stop crying anything about india. They have lost a home series after 18 successive series win.

Imam did nothing wrong to be replaced by Shafique. how do you drop a player who averages 48 plus in odi at 80 plus SR with a player who plays at lower strike rate? Saim was found out during his t20i stint of 20 plus games.. instead of getting dropped he has been rewarded with test and odi opening like t20 experiment was not enough. guess he has strong lobby in pcb

Why do you think JFM is living up to their expectations?

The only one crying is you with your pathetic attempts at trolling.

You can take some time out to troll your own superstar team, which just got white-washed at home. Leave this thread to the Pakistan fans who want to share genuine views about the game.

He always does this on every pakistani thread. Their isnt a single thread his bhoota doesn't show up. Shocking that an Indian has the gall to insult a pakistani poster deapite not being pakistani himself and being an immigrant on the forumn

Stop crying. Enjoy the match.
 
U should be the last one to lecture us on doctored pitches lol.

How many sessions did the last 2 tests last in NZ series?
Indians doctor their pitches more then anyone in history.

They've literally doctored it so that medicore spinners like kumble and ashwin can get wickets and be glorified as ATG's.

It's also why ashwin is dropped from overseas tours. He gets exposed badly.

In truth ashwin is just a sillier version of zampa. Neither are good bowlers but zampa gets wickets cause he has brains and bowls accordingly.

Ashwin was a circus clown in aus and sa.
 
Jfm better perform today. He's one of Australia's brightest prospects

Let it go Cuz, you don't need to have a guilty conscience regarding Bumrah as he has never been banned for an illegal action 🤡 .

Hasnain has been banned in the past, let's hope for your sake he is not chucking again.

Pakistan has a habit of fielding a few chuckers and ball tamperers previously.

;)

Imam and Fakhar losing form collectively during the 23WC in India, and Abdullah's century against Sri Lanka sealed the deal for both as a combination. Unfortunately the selectors didn't take into account that loss in form could be temporary and Abdullah failed to kick on from that Lanka innings for the rest of the World Cup.

It's Pakistan, we take knee-jerk decisions then cry later. There is no thought process.
 
I just have this gut feeling Pakistan is gonna win this....Aus bats are not as good as they are made out to be.
 
Our bowlers rarely get anything to work with and then get all the flack when we lose.
 
Australia needs to win by 10 wickets. The gap is high and they need to give pakistan the minnow treatment
