[GLORY OF '92]

Only fools back anyone playing Australia

 

[MMHS]

Strac MoM for me ......

 

[jnaveen1980]

Now time to visit twitter feeds of Former English players lol

 

[Mueez]

Non-Pakistanis bowling those famous Pakistani yorkers.

How time changes...

 

[sindhiboy]

what a ball starc. poor stokes deserved a 100

 

[ak619]

We have got Ball of the World Cup #2

 

[saeed5646]

This is where cummins will always be behind starc.Starc rise to the moment every time

 

[Madplayer]

Starc is villain first he took important wicket of wahab at critcal stage now it stokes at extremely delicate moment

Hero for Aussies.

 

[shah_1]

Wasim akram

 

[Madplayer]

We have got Ball of the World Cup #2

This is the second best ball of the tournament. First was Wahab to Morris.

 

[Deewana]

bottleon ali in

 

[Justcrazy]

Stokes is a big wicket

 

[JibranAnsari]

in world cups , starc is another level beast. Incomparable.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Mo is in poor form but he has Pakistani roots, so when in poor form he is most dangerous

 

[ak619]

This is the second best ball of the tournament. First was Wahab to Morris.

First was Kuldeep to Babar.

 

[Hasan123]

4 overs of Starc , 2 overs of Lyon. Don't see how English tail last against them.

 

[JibranAnsari]

This is the second best ball of the tournament. First was Wahab to Morris.

not even close.

Non-Pakistanis bowling those famous Pakistani yorkers.

LOL you didnt see Wahab bowl vs SA?
Besides AUS always have great pacers!

 

[jnaveen1980]

If only Australia had picked Hazlewood they would have been a potent bowling unit as well.

 

[saeed5646]

Hero for Aussies.

Obviously hero for aus but villain for most cricket fan for breaking hearts

Still cannot forget his unplayable ball to asad shafiq when we were chasing mammoth total in aus .we would have won it if he did not deliver the killer blow

 

[Madplayer]

in world cups , starc is another level beast. Incomparable.

He is already an ATG in world cups.

 

[Kianig89]

Sarfraz will be a bit relaxed now

 

[Kianig89]

Margin of victory key for aus and Pak

 

[jnaveen1980]

First was Kuldeep to Babar.

Yes. that was a beauty. But Babar was not exactly setting the match ablaze there. Here Stokes was potentially running away when Starc delivered a killer blow with a beauty.

 

[Madplayer]

Still cannot forget his unplayable ball to asad shafiq when we chasing mammoth total in aus .we would have won it if he did not deliver the killer blow

Exactly. I remember that terrific ball. Just short of good length and got extra bounce. He really bent his back there for his team.

 

[Mueez]

LOL you didnt see Wahab bowl vs SA?
Besides AUS always have great pacers!

I saw it.

But it was after a very long time witnessing a Pakistani bowler bowling those yorkers.

 

[Justcrazy]

This is key partnership , Rashid ., Wood etc can bat , but do not think are that good as Woakes and Stokes.

 

[Kianig89]

Batting 1st seems the easiest way now

 

[shariqnoor]

Great captaincy by Finch. He still needs 3 overs from Lyon, Maxwell and Stoinis but brings in Starc to get a wicket. Braveness rewarded

 

[Madplayer]

First was Kuldeep to Babar.

That was a good ball. But was an inside edge.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Margin of victory key for aus and Pak

margin of victory doesnt matter to pakistan in this match

 

[saeed5646]

Exactly. I remember that terrific ball. Just short of good length and got extra bounce. He really bent his back there for his team.

Won't forget it for many years

 

[sindhiboy]

I thought Cummins is one of the best death over bowlers. But he is bowling pies.

death bowling is his weak link. he is not like starc who can reverse the ball. also cannot bowl yorkers like starc. even stoinis is better at the death than cummins

cummins is a test bowler mainly

 

[jnaveen1980]

This is key partnership , Rashid ., Wood etc can bat , but do not think are that good as Woakes and Stokes.

Batting depth is handy when the runs required is the range of 60 or 70 runs Not 100 plus runs.

 

[ak619]

Mitchell Starc is going to have back-to-back World Cups where he will be getting 20+ wickets.

A World Cup ATG!

 

[Ozeirk]

Starcs doing it for Pakistan

 

[saeed5646]

Bring slip in woakes will edge one to slip

 

[Madplayer]

not even close.

Watch that ball again. See the reverse on that.

 

[Plumb]

England not winning this WC either

Bringing players just for WC and still not able to go over the line... ouch that 'll hurt

Boy ohh Boy!!!!!!!!!!!! Tragedy!!!!!

 

[Kianig89]

Aus have been very lucky in this WC got out of hole against WI survived a scare against Pak and now choked Eng.......

 

[jnaveen1980]

Aus have been very lucky in this WC got out of hole against WI survived a scare against Pak and now choked Eng.......

They know how to hurt sloppy oppositions.

 

[Kianig89]

Are Aus stronger than NZ atm I think No however in pressure situ Australia are like a sponge

 

[saeed5646]

England is not happy hunting place for starc he has improved leaps and bounds

 

[TheRock]

England not winning this WC either

Bringing players just for WC and still not able to go over the line... ouch that 'll hurt

Boy ohh Boy!!!!!!!!!!!! Tragedy!!!!!

Little too early to predict. They are likely to beat India and Nz and proceed to SF.

 

[Plumb]

Aus have been very lucky in this WC got out of hole against WI survived a scare against Pak and now choked Eng.......

Ya they didn't work hard just got lucky!!!!get real now

 

[jnaveen1980]

If this guy reverses match is pretty much over .

 

[Plumb]

Little too early to predict. They are likely to beat India and Nz and proceed to SF.

Bro.. If they reach Semis that will be a big accomplishment for them... this is WC and pressure games... England don't have it in them to win it

 

[saeed5646]

I wonder will Morgan use excuse of "used pitch "
[MENTION=138254]Syed1[/MENTION]

 

[Mueez]

Little too early to predict. They are likely to beat India and Nz and proceed to SF.

Beating teams which they haven’t done since 1992?

 

[Hasan123]

Maybe time to bowl Lyon out.

 

[jnaveen1980]

I was backing Australia even from few months back to win the cup. They are vindicating it. With absence of few gun players, India will also be handicapped. NZ is a semi final team. No more.

 

[Ozeirk]

Bro.. If they reach Semis that will be a big accomplishment for them... this is WC and pressure games... England don't have it in them to win it

Winning both NZ and Ind game will be a tough ask.

 

[Kianig89]

Pakistan's strategy for tomorrow

Bat first if possible
Get a solid opening stand
Babr abd Haris to lurk through and then up the ante
Tail should contribute which starts from 6
Fielding should be top notch
Get wickets with new ball
Squeeze in.middle with spin
Reverse swing comes into play
Wipe out the tail

P.S make a detailed plan for KW

 

[shah_1]

Aus have been very lucky in this WC got out of hole against WI survived a scare against Pak and now choked Eng.......

You have to give credit to Starc . He has bailed Australia out against WI, Pak and now England. He is a champion bowler.

 

[BDfanforever]

If only WI wasnt so thick headed they wouldve been in semis by now.

 

[jnaveen1980]

If only WI wasnt so thick headed they wouldve been in semis by now.

There is a reason why they had to play qualifier to be part of the world cup lol So expected.

 

[Justcrazy]

Moeen gets that away

 

[KingKhanWC]

Shot Mo


Oh wrong team , sorry

 

[Hasan123]

Gun captaincy.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Asian teams and age old enemy have knocked them out ALMOST. Just one of the NZ or INdia has to deliver knock out punch. Hope that is india.

 

[bluevision]

boring match,, Englands gonna get spanked in the Ashes.

 

[Ozeirk]

It's all over boys!

 

[Plumb]

Moin Gone lol

 

[KingKhanWC]

Howzaaaat , gone.



Game over, seems this silverware is destined for a particular team...

 

[BDfanforever]

Kholi was praying to God literally so that Afghanistan wicket falls. It was some sight lol. You guys have tough games coming up against WI and Eng, glad you didnt botch up against Afghanistan, otherwise you would’ve been in trouble as well.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Flat roads, 4 years planning, poaching foreign players, home conditions.. NOT ENOUGH for United Nations. on their way to lose 3rd game

 

[RainStopsPlay]

Moeen Bhai brought his inner Pakistani out and did justice to his role!

 

[Plumb]

England was supposed to pile up 500s lol huffing and puffing for 200

 

[MP2011]

What does Moeen Ali offer to this England team?

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Flat roads, 4 years planning, poaching foreign players, home conditions.. NOT ENOUGH for United Nations. on their way to lose 3rd game

Haha

 

[topspin]

England is not happy hunting place for starc he has improved leaps and bounds

It's happy hunting ground.

Well odds of India botching up while bowling is less than any other team as they have the best bowling unit currently even after loss of one of their opening bowler. They won a match with 4 bowlers.

 

[sindhiboy]

maybe england can win against new zealand, but don't see them winning against india.

australia looking the strongest team despite havinga very weak lower middle order

 

[KingKhanWC]

Bob Willis on the verdict should be fun to watch.

He was saying England will get through and Pakistan are out with such confidence in the previos episode.

 

[topspin]

Moeen Ali, the ISI agent has done with his job.

 

[saeed5646]

Don't see rashid and moeen retaining the odi spot after worldcup debacle.

 

[ak619]

Any 1 win will seal their SF berth, I thought?

 

[Deewana]

time for england to drop moen
absolute garbage player
bottler just like amla
his bowling is on par with root
against India they should play tom curran, who is a goof bowler and much better batsman than bhai
and against Nz they should play Dawson

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Moeen Bhai brought his inner Pakistani out and did justice to his role!

He seems to do that quite regularly with the bat these days. Has he actually produced a decent innings in world cup games?
