Australia beat Pakistan by 41 runs in 17th match of 2019 World Cup

[Majestic_Inzi]

Drop malik

 

[srh]

told you Imam was the key;

 

[Asif321]

Imam and hafeez stupidity did it

 

[Ilan Bluestone]

Asif Ali and Malik should be out.

Wasim, Shadab and Harris, two of those should be in.

Terrible batting today.

Azam needs to realize they crumble without him.

 

[Hyperion66]

Lmao!! But but I heard this batting line-up is better than India's!! one minute up next few years down!!

On a serious note, this defeat is totally due to the inability of Pak pacers to make use of new ball on a juicy pitch, AUS wouldn't be anywhere near 300 against any decent attack on this pitch.

 

[Mamoon]

We deserve this humiliation.

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

what a crap performer by Asif, cannot bat ,bowl or field ...excellent all rounder

 

[Chokli]

I wont blame Asif here, he is supposed to play the last 5-10 overs of the match not build the innings for 20+ overs. He doesnt have the ability

Pakistan has no place for a specialist six hitter.

Can't field, can't bowl, can't bat.

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Why is hassan sent before amir?

 

[Syed1]

From 136-2 to 160-6

 

[Solid Snake]

For Gods sake our net run rate is already abysmal, can't these geniuses try to bat out the 50 overs at the very least!!

 

[Titan24]

Shadab is a better batsmen then Malik...

Asif Ali, well his fielding was just pathetic and now his batting was as bad

Agreed. Its unfortunate that we dont have any other hitter, only Imad can be brought back in maybe. No matter how many changes are made if players dont apply themselves results will be the same.

 

[Green Patriot]

Oo bhai Runrate ka khyl krlo.
Bahaar mai gai jeet.

 

[Chokli]

We deserve this humiliation.

There you are.

 

[RamLakhan]

This is the worst ever Australian side in WC (worse than even 2011 one). Whatever fight they are showing is due to their in-built fighting spirits and aggressive attitude! I don't think they will cross anymore than Semi-Finals in this WC...

 

[Invincible Gujjar]

Asif Ali should never play for national team again such a pathetic player

 

[jnaveen1980]

I have to bump my electing to field
First thread. Has any team won a match doing that in this World Cup?

 

[Haripotter]

Where is the rain ️

If it rains then Pakistan will loose as per DRS

 

[Ronaldo7]

Brainless thing to bowl first.

No it wasn't.
Finch was going to do the same. This is just the result of brainless batting and bowling.

 

[Tabishbeigh]

Pakistan should seriously consider to forfeit their match with India , that would save them from the humiliation of being set with their tails wagging between their legs .

 

[AAli98]

Off wheels fallen... cant chase to save ther lives. Malik should never have been in squad... babar reminding me of mark ramprakash- looking good for 30 odd b4 getting himself out. Shadab decision looks increasingly poor...

 

[Sirris]

What a joke this has been. I hope people see now why Imam is so critical in the batting lineup. Once he goes, everyone after him fall like a deck of cards

ehhhh

No we need a better alternative to Imam.

 

[Ronaldo7]

If it rains then Pakistan will loose as per DRS

Lose*

 

[jnaveen1980]

NRR will take a huge hit if they implode
Further

 

[soulhunter]

asif ali and malik really need to be dropped.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Teams should realize and never ever pick an extra batsman.

If 1st 5 batsman can't score. 6th won't

 

[the_game]

Doctor sahab khush ho aaj?

 

[Ronaldo7]

We deserve this humiliation.

Get a life.

 

[Haripotter]

Asif Ali should never play for national team again such a pathetic player

But but but he is for pakistan what buttler is for england

 

[Chokli]

We needed a Misbah to help us bat through the 50 overs and protect our net run rate.

 

[Sirris]

No it wasn't.
Finch was going to do the same. This is just the result of brainless batting and bowling.

fielding!

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Four wickets in the blink of an eye. Shameless people

 

[iRfaN_LA]

This is not a 300 pitch. Pathetic fielding from us cost us 30-40 runs. Very difficult to recover from here.

 

[Invincible Gujjar]

This is why Pak should never bowl first, even on a bowling pitch. Cuz we can’t chase anything. Doesn’t matter if its 400 or 200. We just don’t have the ability and mental strength to chase. The toss decision today meant we lose the match before it even began.

I agree with this they just can't chase it's just not in their genes to chase

 

[xbronze]

The last mentally tough batsman Pakistan produced was Javed Miandad. That was almost 50 years ago.

Agree. But the most legend batsman for Pakistani fans is boom boom Afridi

 

[Chokli]

ehhhh

No we need a better alternative to Imam.

Good luck, you'll be all out within 21 overs all the time.

 

[szundercover]

can hassan ali play a coulter nile like innings today?

 

[Azzurri]

To be honest Sarfraz-malik and asif are a trio of weak links in our team. I think we don't have a realistic chance to make semis with this lower midlle order

 

[Hasan123]

Australia don't even need to be at their best to beat us. That's how low our cricket has fallen . Elite teams can beat us without playing good.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Four wickets in the blink of an eye. Shameless people

. Par for the course in a big chase. India in 2015 started well in semis chasing 327 then collapsed

 

[Afhan Ali]

This loosing show us why we are minnows because we always failed in crucial stages

 

[DawoodChaudhry]

only the last hope is safy bahi this team selection is not good now only at 6 out we have the bowlers coming in for the bat there is another all rounded in the team especially for shadab or imad one is in the game to give the batting more balance but dont lose hope boys pk is in the game as long safy bahi stay opn the wicket i tell u he is v talaented player with focus and will win game for pak by scoring century ameen inshallah

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

by generator

 

[GLORY OF '92]

We are going out

 

[Mamoon]

Then they say that our 6th ranking is not a true reflection of our capability.

 

[Syed1]

Atleast go down fighting

 

[Markhor]

This is why Pak should never bowl first, even on a bowling pitch. Cuz we can’t chase anything. Doesn’t matter if its 400 or 200. We just don’t have the ability and mental strength to chase. The toss decision today meant we lose the match before it even began.

When you have an uninspired and tactically inept captain who cannot read conditions, two spray gun bowlers in Shaheen and Hasan, no specialist spinner, a passenger in the team leeching off senior status in Malik, inept fielders like Asif, and zero game awareness whatsoever in the team.

Then bat first or bowl first, it won't make a difference to the result. They aren't good enough no matter what they do at toss.

 

[ahmadharis1]

Hassan going to hole out to midwicket just watch

 

[jnaveen1980]

Australia don't even need to be at their best to beat us. That's how low our cricket has fallen . Elite teams can beat us without playing good.

This was a regrettable team selection They got Way

 

[Rana]

Might as well go for it.

 

[troodon]

Hasan Ali will be MOTM.

 

[Sirris]

Good luck, you'll be all out within 21 overs all the time.

Just like in the match against England?

After the world cup Malik, Hafeez and Sarafraz should be out too. No need to stick with Imam just because the rest of the batting line up is poor too.

 

[Zeshan547]

Harris for Malik
Imad for Asif
and Shadab for Shaheen vs India,
that's our best combo from given squad. after that hope for the best.

 

[JellyBro]

I think its unfair for the other team to be awarded 1 point in a rained out match against Pakistan lol. Pakistan should not get any points for being so pathetic

 

[Hasan123]

Good from Hasan.

 

[ARK Rafay]

We needed a Misbah to help us bat through the 50 overs and protect our net run rate.

Uff

 

[ManFan]

Then they say that our 6th ranking is not a true reflection of our capability.

Who's "they"?

 

[KingKhanWC]

Wow.

Pakistan still in this by a whisker.

 

[Justcrazy]

Now hassan would be hailed as next Klusner This is the issue with Pakistan fans.

 

[Ganju Baba]

 

[JellyBro]

Hasan gilchrist ali turning up the heat

 

[Shafi]

Hasan Ali is better batsman than Asif.

 

[Invincible Gujjar]

But but but he is for pakistan what buttler is for england

LOL I can only laugh at them Jos is like 2nd best batsman in the world right now

 

[ILcricket]

22 off 12 , wasp Hassan in big time -game on .

 

[Green Patriot]

Now after this six Sarfaraz should have instead of just fist pumping him and returning,should have stood and reminded him that dont overdo here we have to last all the overs atleast.

 

[Mean&Green]

Whatever you say about Hassan he hits the sexiest shots in Cricket and possibly has the strongest forearms in world cricket jattt

 

[Chokli]

Just like in the match against England?

After the world cup Malik, Hafeez and Sarafraz should be out too. No need to stick with Imam just because the rest of the batting line up is poor too.

Did you not see at what over Imam was dismissed?

 

[Ronaldo7]

View attachment 92400

Where were you when pak were 130/2?

 

[Rayyman]

Just need to win 4 out of next 5 games vs
IND, SA, NZ, AFG, BAN

I don't think we can cop 4 straight so next game is a must-win

 

[jnaveen1980]

Only one of Hafeez Malik should play.

 

[PakWC'11Champs]

Predictable end.

 

[dildilpak]

Worst middle order amongst all teams

 

[Afhan Ali]

Pakistan loss doesn't hurt me more but losing from such a good platform always hurts

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan problem in this chase is lack of partnership in top order .

 

[hussain.r97]

Good hitting from Hasan, but doesn't need to get carried away. More important that he sticks around with Sarfraz.

 

[AFM]

Can Hassan Ali pull of a Coulter-Nile?

 

[ILcricket]

Predictable end.

this is gettable

 

[Azzurri]

sarfraz is so stupid. Can't believe how he's a captain

 

[Hasan123]

Hasan Ali showing some fight.

 

[Ronaldo7]

Worst middle order amongst all teams

Sri Lanka, Afghanistan??
