Australia v Pakistan | 2015 World Cup | Quarter-Finals | 20th March, 2015 | Adelaide | Pak innings

This is why :afridi should not have played so many games , he was a mediocre player always and in his last geme remained so
 
Afridi for all his charisma just never has done it in 50 over WCs. Bottles it in every KO game. One time we needed him to step up and he plays his typically breezy innings.
 
Australia hasn't earned much, we've just throwing away our wickets
 
One good thing after this world cup for Pakistan is that one brainless and careless cricketer of them will retire (will he retire eventually?)
 
How is Afrid's inning selfish?

it's a typical innings from Afridi. Stop expecting miracles.
 
3rd Quarter-Final.

Can the Cornered Tigers outcome the Australians?

Toss in 5 minutes, game 35!

All the batsman are mediocre ability, Akmal,Shazad,Hariss and Afridi can only score 30 runs player so better bring the raw talent give them 2 years time kick this all out.
Misbah plays one slog and block he dont have stokes in his arms.
Overall change coaching staff and all players except Sarfarz and masood.
 
what hurts is not that we are going out to australia in quarter final, but the manner, cause honestly, we survived the new ball well with only 2 down till 90 and then pretty much all batsmen gave gifts to throw it away. highly STUPID batting.
 
What's baffling to me that Afridi should have had the most hunger for this World Cup after a 19 year career. Surely he could have taken a power play.
 
I wonder what the instructions are. Play your shots or play 50 overs.

Instructions?
Afridi?
Good one.
Haris just gets to his 30 odd runs and throws his wicket away, umar as asual.
Misbah failed today...and look where this team is !
 
Not one player in that line up is capable of scorinf 75 runs let along a ton against any half decent bowling line up
 
Ozs knew exactly what they where doing .


Actually, it goes against Misbah - he played a predetermined slog which wasn't required. ODI gives much more time than it looks & the first target in ODI should be to play out 50 overs. Had it been 40/4, I can understand; but this is simply suicidal - nothing to do with what Aussies are doing. PAK could have walked to 170 with 60-70 balls left.
 
One commentator has just said "The shot selection of the Pakistani players were poor today. But thats the way they play. " LOL.

They would not have continued with Maxwell after being hit for 2 sixes & also knowing batsmen where struggling to score against pacers .
 
Whats your point :moyo?? You prefer Zero runs in 50 overs over some runs and some wickets?

I prefer to have runs on the board.

If that means being 150-2 in 37 overs so be it.

Gives last 13 overs a chance to be 280.

Now the chance is a miracle.

But I can see why you prefer miracles.
 
Seriously get over your hate for Misbah.

Misbah has so far outscored and lasted longer than Afridi and Umar Akmal combined...
Misbah has been consistent in scoring this world cup with 4 50s and 2 in the 30s.
Misbah has shown how to hit the ball clean.

After this world cup, Misbah haters are going to try and beg for his return to the side or another like him. Right now they are happy with the brainless sloggers as long s it gets them quick runs, forget team situation who cares as long as risky singles and skiers are being hit.
 
One more wicket then panic.

These two if we can make 230, we can defend.

Afridi to run through em.
