What's new

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

but what about Imam's strike rate and how he puts pressure on the hack? :(

:faheem

He will improve even that, he is still new to this level. He has the basics just needs to keep working hard.
 
Anyone with a sane head over his shoulder would choose Tamim over Fakhar. It's a no brainer for anyone with a brain.

Anyone with a brain would never pick a batsman with an average of 50 and SR of circa 100 over a batsman who has an average of 35 at a strike rate of 78.

:))
 
It's not easy to take singles against new ball with field right up there. Will get easier in middle overs

Especially when you have Starc and Cummins bowling at you.

Even Australia would have had trouble if Amir had proper partners.
 
Babar plays like a million bucks for his 30 and gives it away, bad wicket.
 
He was playing so beautifully, and he just threw it away. There's the game, folks.
 
11 :4 s in score of 56... Amazing. It was all style for as long as it lasted, and life - as cruel as it is - ends with Babars wicket :out
 
im better on Imam to score a ton today. He's a big game player. Everyone needs to bat around him. Will boil down to Wahab and Hasan scoring 50 in the last 5 overs I bet.
 
Thats where his got to learn he is playing too freely in the last year or do. Kholi would have let that go.
 
That's why Babar isn't up there with the other fab 4. You really think Root, Smith , or Williamson would play that shot in this situation?

Pathetic stuff.
 
Man he was looking so good. And to get out to Coulter-Nile of all people.
 
A huge wicket and I can't see who else is going to take Pak through this chase.
 
Story of Babar Azam's career . . Play pretty . . play amazing . . get people wowing at your talent . . but when the team really needs you to take it through . . stick around . . play through . . guide a chase . . steady the ship . . give it away . . it has happened so many times now . .
