What's new

Australia v Pakistan | 17th Match, World Cup | Taunton | June 12, 2019 | Australia innings

Shaheen can clearly not control the new ball, we saw that in the eng series.

Real question is who came up with the idea to open the bowling with him.

Hassan shouldve been given the new ball. Shaheen shouldve been 3rd option
 
I am not jumping to any conclusions here. Just raising my concern on what I saw today on one of the most ridiculous bowling performances by Pakistan in this box office game.

I mean these are professional cricketers. Can they have such an off day that OVER 90% of deliveries are missing the stumps? If Captaan has authorised such a plan why is he rotating the bowlers off?

Dropping dolly catches everywhere?

Surely being out of form or outplayed cannot explain this...

Is this game being played in the true spirit?
 
Hasan Ali brings the ball back in to the right hander . . and angles it in in the middle of the innings . . how do you not have a midwicket fielder . . its an easy tap and run . . FREAKING THINK PEOPLE!! Its not rocket science

I just can’t take this crap anymore. Enough of the “we are unpredictable”, “you never know which Pakistan will turn up”, “we are cornered tigers” bakwaas.

We are ranked bloody 6th. We need to hang our heads in shame. I think I am done with this mediocrity, I can’t take it anymore.

We are a shambolic team, even though we can beat anyone but 9/10 days of misery is absolutely pathetic
 
Only a country like Pakistan has the guts to throw teenagers into the deep end expecting them to swim soon.

This has just turned out to be a failure ploy. Not every teenager is Inzimam, Wasim Akram or dare I say Shahid Afridi. Not every captain is Imran Khan

This can only be explained by not being good enough
 
Im guessing PAK will be chasing something close to 400 and will be bowled out for under 200.

Excepting pak to lose this match by a margin of atleast 180 runs...

Absolute hit get demoralized and play all confident India in the next game to lose even bigger..
 
shambolic bowling, except for wahab and amir, who bowled well.
and even more shambolic fielding

i hope it rains
 
Big difference of mental strength between England and Australia team. England always fail under pressure while Australia rise.
 
Shadab is an essential for our fielding, he brings energy with his plays.. and hes probably the only one whos been saving runs, rest r giving them away like its eid
 
Would have preferred rain, snow and earthquakes over this disgusting performance.

+ 1. Shaheen is raw talent. He needs to play lot of A series which will make him mature. It was too early to bring in to ODI's. T20 should be fine.
 
Shaheen at 19 years of age is trying half cooked yorkers, shortballs when the only thing he should have been perfecting at this age was off stump good length line. Poor stuff from team management if thats their strategy or even if he is doing it own his own. He hasnt even played a full first class season to experiment this much.

Finch has been averaging 18 against India in 20 innings across all formats in the last year or so. He laid Pakistan to waste in UAE. Now here.
 
Our players already gave up and its shows in their body language. Even Afghanistan would have taken 2 wickets by now.
 
Hafeez, the part time bowler, beaten for plenty. Good captaincy for saving our main bowlers after 50 overs
 
Sarfaraz should be feeling so good after opting to field.

The moment Pakistan chose to bowl, the match the lost.

This pointless response deserves a response. You get IPL contract when you do well against India not badly against India. Maxwell, Sam Curran, Ngidi many get their contracts because of doing well against them not sucking against them. Second of all Warner was the captain of a franchise until he got involved in ball tampering. He is still their no.1 player to be retained.

Sarcastic tha :)))
 
SL must be cursing there luck definitely 1 point lost pak easily the joint worst team along with afghan.
 
400 plus here, we wasted the first 10 overs.

The pitch isnt as bad as sone made it seem.

Clarke was right with his asessment

This team is representing 22 crore people.

This team is representing a country of cricket rich history.

This team representing a country the PM of which is a cricketer.

They are put us into shame from previous 2 years , look at there body language they are completely lost it.

They fluke victory against England and our kaptaan open his mouth with a lot of rubbish.

They won the toss on they failed in ourcast conditions on green pitch.

We want win, we want a team of strength we don't want mediocre player and mediocre personalities
 
Hasan Ali should have opened against Finch. Can't believe Pak think tank doesn't know Finch's weakness yet. Played in UAE now here.
