300+ easy .

Will they use the same pitch for QF and Semi here in Sydney or different one?

Misbah beter than clarke

 

[yasir]

Here is a clue, replace Pakistan captain Misbah with Michael Clarke and see if our batsmen start playing differently?

Captaincy has nothing to do with how batsmen bat. In last 30 years ( since I have being watching cricket) Pakistan lost 80% of matches because of batting failures, quality of batsmen is poor. Does not matter who is Captain. End results were better when we have world class bowlers, batting was always lower class. Captaincy is overrated in cricket.

Pakistani fans and players also are obsessed with Captaincy because of Seudo offesary culture. Everybody loves to be called Captain or Ex Captain, others don't have those insecurities.

Player quality comes from cricketing culture and infrastructure, you focus on that rather than who is captain

Very well said

 

[Enforcer]

The reason Aus bats first is we like putting runs on the board early.

But you can't disagree to the fact that pitches in MCG, Sydney and Adelaide are unfair to the team that chases, especially with two new balls.

Hobart has the most fair pitches in Australia, absolute batting paradise, which remain same through out.

to Clarke!

Bowler making a gets rid if clarke

 

[BeautifulGame]

Malinga is special even if he is half as good in the past
No ball?

 

[Slog]

Those bowlers were there before he became captain

i mean he is a good captain no doubt but i feel ppl are overrating him. Theres no real standout captain this WC apart from maybe Dhoni

Shane bond becoming bowling coach has also played a big role. And naturally they have devloped and become more experienced in the last few years. Gotta realize that they are only in their early 20s

 

[yeh cheez]

: Clarke

 

[Thivagar]

No ball damn

 

[Slog]

Clarke Gone

Malinga the Slinga is back!

 

[Buffet]

My point is that the captain doesn't instruct the batsmen on how to bat...you have to identify players who can rotate the strike and drop and run and nudge the ball around


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Problem of not able to rotate strike is a fundamental weakness of most Pakistani batsmen. I don't see how different captain can fix that issue by giving instructions. Misbah is not a good captain but captaincy has nothing to do with SR of all batsmen. Look at the list - All Pakistani batsmen are in bottom and close to many minnows batsmen.

 

[BeautifulGame]

Warne commentary just awful

 

[NZcricketfan]

That was a really touch and go noball call..

 

[Lankan]

Silly warne...talking rubbish as usual

 

[Thivagar]

Need to remove maxwell.

 

[dildilpak]

No ball clearly

 

[Slog]

ahh that was NOT OUT

But might work in aussie's favor

 

[yeh cheez]

Malinga comes good for SL, when they needed a breakthrough

 

[Thivagar]

Bowler making a gets rid if clarke

I should look at what I type when watching the match

 

[Slog]

Silly warne...talking rubbish as usual

he's pretty biased haha but i like his enthusiasm and energy

he is much better commentator in test cricket where he gets time to analyze and think through what he says rather than get too excited

 

[yeh cheez]

Maxwell the new batsman

 

[Slog]

Big Show on!

Can he deliver in a big game?

 

[dildilpak]

Clarke should not have walked straightaway. That was a No-ball

 

[yeh cheez]

: Smith

 

[desi_launda]

 

[Aman]

Clarke should not have walked straightaway. That was a No-ball

It's on impact, not where the bowler finishes up sliding to.

 

[dildilpak]

That was really stupid

 

[yeh cheez]

4 down for AUS

 

[Enforcer]

Malinga is the only bowler, who can stop maxwell.just York him at high pace

 

[Chrish]

Another test for world's strongest middle order

 

[Lankan]

Maxwell & wato in

 

[Buffet]

2 quick wickets. Time to put some cheap overs and even better pick 2 more here.

 

[yasir]

This was unnecessary from Smith at this stage

instead of wasting 30 years of watching cricket if you had actually paid attention to any organization, any corporation or even a smaller companies you would have figured out that CEO or the team lead is automatically makes the entire bunch of followers emulate him or else they don't survive - an upbeat and tight leader keeps his team on their toes - a dheela leader makes the entire team dheeli.

Problem with desi mindset is that generally we are EXTREMELY POOR leaders, EXTREMELY POOR organizers and EXTREMELY POOR administrators, BUT we are THE BEST work horses IF the leader is right.

Maxwell is dangerous, SL doesn't have bug turning spinners, maxi will come down and decimate our spinners.

If Maxwell can survive another 3 overs he should push us to 230 with Haddin and Faulkner still to come

The match will be out of reach for srilanka, if maxwell continue like this for some overs. BRING MALINGA

Seekuge should be given an over to see if he can spin one past maxi's edge

Maybe if you had played little bit of cricket you'd know that captains can't fire players. It is not Desi mind set, its a typical human behavior to be fear of consequences. If Pakistan had a better leader, ofcourse they would have gone with that particukar player. Captaincy can't change these Pakistani players, none of them apart from Maqsood and Haris Sohail look like they 'd listen to anyone. A captain can only provide moral boost, without Misbah doing that no way someone like Ajmal would claim he is a better captain than Imran Khan. This Pakistani team won't change regardless of captaincy change.

 

[Chrish]

Pace is the key.. Maxwell will murder any spinners
