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

Strange tactics from Australia against Pakistan

Allowing easy singles and letting Pakistan take the game deep. What is happening? :starc
 
Terrible loss to WI and draw with Sl destroy our chances to go to semi. Most of us knew this team is not capable to win over AUS, NZ, ENG and IND. We were lucky to win over ENG. There is a big chance to loose to BD and AFG
 
I got out of my office in Dhaka and went to an ATM booth to withdraw money. I saw a guard in the booth to listening to the radio where a live commentary in Bangla (language of our country) is broadcasted of this match. I withdrew the money and took a walk to my home. I overheard numerous people listening to the commentary of the match in the streets, shops and markets.

Do you experience the same in Pakistan? Even if there is no match of your country?

I am just curious. If it happens across the world, then, the game is the ultimate winner.
 
Sarfraz was shouting every ball to pitch it up more. Literally every ball. Even the commies were shaking their head wondering are the bowlers deaf.

If they don't listen to instruction then take them off. Or at least get one of the seniors Hafeez/Malik to stand at mid off/on and guide them along.

That's what they're there for.
 
Thankfully no cheerleader Nasser Hussain today. Would have repeated a thousand cliches about Pakistan cricket by now.

Nasser is anything but a cheerleader. I remember in 2006 he described us as a team that "can't bat, can't bowl, can't field" after one of our many misfields on that wretched tour.
 
Hasan Ali could be the Abdul razak we were all promised. He needs to be given a bigger role in the team with the bat
Please let him be the potent strike bowler only. It’s not his job to score 50 runs. I am his Indian fan and don’t want him to go Irfan Pathan way. If top 6 cannot chase run rate of 6 without slogging, I think you have bigger concerns. It really pisses me off why Malik is still able to make his way in final 11. How is it possible that Pak domestic circuit has no one to replace him. His body language is of someone who doesn’t really care. Really don’t understand the logic of playing both Hafeez and Malik.
 
It is infuriating to know that all that was required from the middle order was to play risk free cricket - 5 an over would have been enough - three batsmen got in and gave it away.

Criminal really
 
The pitch is not that bad , its reckless mindless batting by Pakistan. If india was here , they would have played with precision and finished the game by 48 th over , 5 down

Sometimes it just doesn't come off.
You try but it just doesn't work.
 
Sarfraz is hiding behind Wahab to save his wicket. He is not even good enough batsman to win us this match.
 
Asking of 7.5 is quite manageable actually, but PAK is 2 more wickets down. Malik & Asif had absolute zero game today.
 
If we can win from here it will be a great morale victory as well and confidence booster for sarfaraz. And hopefully we can get rid of Asif and Malik.

You are right.

Hassan , Amir , and wahab can hit , but you need the top 6 to take responsiblity.
 
I don’t know why we even changed the line-up from the win.

At this point if only we had 1/2 more wickets in hand!
 
Can Sarfaraz do a Sarfaraz-Amir partnership which won us the game against Sri Lanka in the 2017 CT?
 
Heartning to see Riaz playing Cummins with such ease.

If you can't pitch the bowl up willingly, you have no business playing club cricket, leave alone first class, leave further alone international cricket...
 
Sarfraz needs to play the innings of his life and silent the critics
 
Can Sarfaraz pull a Dhoni here? Take the game into the last 3 overs with 40 odd to win and then pull off a miracle with 10 and Jack!!

They had negative games. Asif dropped catches and Malik fielded poorly and also bowled a no ball.
 
While I agree with Malik (Who should bever have bee selected) and Asif being dropped but then Haris and Imad played almost every game against Aus and Eng but couldnt create much impact. But, yes we dont have any other option

The game has changed though. Every big team got players who can bat down the order. It sucks but those are the facts. Look how pandeya turned out. Some players get better with added responsibility
