What's new

Congratulations to Mohammad Amir for his maiden five-wicket haul in ODIs!

Wahab was bowling well, as well as the second spell of Shaheen. Besides later over bowling is very different from opening bowling.

Exactly, there you go - You need to hunt as a unit, it's a team game after all.

These fans are going to get a false notion of the capability of this team the next year since we're playing a lot more T20s than ODIs.

Waiting for the humiliation next year at the World T20

This T20 drama would have been over long ago had BCCI cared for a series. It would have been a repeat of the Asia Cup humiliation.

We have an Asia Cup scheduled for next year in the UAE and it is the T20 format.

They will get their much needed humiliation.
 
I agree with Mamoon here. Amir 5 wicket was like a bowler picking up wickets in a test match when opposition already put up enough runs on board.

I thought Bhuvi spell were much more meaningful against Aus, and I dont usually rate Bhuvi much.

Nonetheless, Amir and Wahab are fighters.

At least now Pak fans cant say it was second string Pak team.
 
Like I've been saying he is the best bowler in Pakistan right now and when he is playing in a big event he's beastly.

Now Amir sits at the top of the charts in the wickets column this tourney, with an expectional economy rate as well. I wonder where the people saying "no Amir will make no difference to this bowling line-up" are now. Speak up now haters.
 
Amir was unlucky to not pick up wickets with the new ball. On any other day, they would have knicked off a few of those, and Amir would have had 2-3 wickets in his opening spell. We need him to bowl this well against India on Sunday, get Sharma and Kohli out quickly just like the CT finals.
 
Mamoon said:
He didn’t strike with the new ball and most of the dismissals were gifts. On any other day, this would have been a 1/40 or 2/35 type performance.

Anyway, congratulations to him because he deserves a slice of luck. He has been poor for the last two years but also a tad unlucky.

Salty salty salty even warner praised him saying he was extremely difficult to play and lucky that he didn’t get out to him. Bowling a Yorker to Carey was clearly a gift right. The guy just scored the World Cup fastest fifty against your teams best bowling attack and Amir Yorked him. The way he swung and had control over the ball was phenomenal that can only be achieved if your in form and bowling with good rhythm it’s the middle of the tournament and he’s the leading wicket taker so clearly it hasn’t been gifts , it’s just smart bowling. So stop being so salty and appreciate something good for once.

This. Only few deliveries were good. Most of them were gifts. Reminds me of Wahab Riaz 5 for against India in World Cup

He was excellent from start to finish.

If he was lucky to get the wickets then he was just as unlucky not to in the first spell. It evened out.
 
So so happy for him.

Figures of 10-2-30-5 are nothing short of exceptional against this AUS lineup especially after the start they got. This humble pie is for you [MENTION=135196]waleed88[/MENTION]

A pumped up and in form Amir is among the best in the world no matter the conditions/pitch.

Rohit must be having nightmares :))
 
Whether or not the wickets were lucky, he for once deserves a little bit of "luck", especially if you can create it by bowling good balls.
 
It was a good bowling performance but it meant nothing in the grand scheme of things.

He did take 5 wickets at a good economy but it does not change the fact that Australia were 146/0 in bowler friendly conditions. To win games, you need to strike early. Pakistan won the game against England because after a long time, the bowlers were able to dismiss openers early.

Most teams will win from the position of 146/0. All Aamir did was damage control. In the end whether Australia scored 360 or 310, it was too much for Pakistan to chase.

No, 308 was not too much as evident by the fact that PAK was 140 odd for 2.

It was a rush of poor shots by the usual suspects that led to a middle-order collapse that killed the game.

AUS was 212/2; they were looking to push beyond 350.
 
Chokli said:
That's because of how cautiously Finch and Warner were playing him, on another day he may have gotten both their wickets but it wasn't to be.

Even the commentators said the same thing - how Amir should have had more wickets - further backing up the claim that Amir was indeed a tricky customer first up.

If Shaheen or Hasan had kept it tight on their ends then it could have been different.

The rest of the batsman weren't able to handle Amir like Finch and Warner did.

Amir gave 14 runs in his first 5 overs and had 23 dot balls.

But I understand where you're coming from, it's good for Amir though he's finally picking up some wickets after two years of a horror show.

He's getting better and better every match, if the India match doesn't get rained out Amir might make it interesting.
Click to expand...

This is a poor excuse. Are you saying that batters only bat carefully against Aamir and not against more successful bowlers like Cummins, Starc, Boult, etc. and that's why they pick wickets?

If you are a skilled bowler, you will take wickets no matter how cautious are the batsmen against you. Wasim and McGrath did it for decades.

How many times has Pakistan chased a 300+ score against better teams? Heck, they could not chase 280 in the UAE.

Pakistan could lose from 240/2 so 140/2 meant nothing. Pakistan will fail to chase anything over 300 9 out of 10 times. That is the expectation of most who have followed Pakistan cricket for years.

On a pitch where both teams did not play a spinner, Pakistani fast bowlers including Aamir failed to take a single wicket in the first 20 overs which was the only reason Pakistan lost yesterday's game.

This is ludicrous.

The bowlers more than made up for their failure upfront with the backend effort.

Just because Pakistan may have failed to chase in the past does not necessarily mean they were certain to fail in this particular chase. The fact that they did, does not rest on the bowlers, especially one who got five wickets at 30 runs.

You did not answer my question. How many times has Pakistan chased a 300+ score against stronger teams?

When a team scores 146/0 at almost run a ball, it is extremely unlikely that they won't cross 300. Australian middle and lower order had a shockingly bad day yesterday, yet they managed to cross 300.

Mid-table teams like Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka will struggle to chase 300+ totals more often than not.

All the batting needed was some application.

This is the problem, for 20 overs we're still a horrible chasing side.

Aamir can't do everything on his own.

Aamir's bowling effort was similar to Pandya's batting effort in the Champions Trophy final. Both games were already lost.

Not true, we literally gave majority of our wickets away... something that could have been prevented.
 
The Odd One does have a point.

Regardless of whether 308 was chaseable or not, Pakistan havent chased 300 plus often enough to consider it as an easy target.

You are usually out of the game once 150 runs have been scored without a wicket because 300 is inevitable.

Even a terrible australian middle order and lower order performance from there enabled them to reach 300 plus.

300 plus is a winning score vs Pakistan.

More so in a World Cup.
 
Mamoon said:
Now that our 6th ranked team has been humiliated for the umpteenth time, we all have time to congratulate Amir for his first and probably his last 5 wicket haul in ODIs.

However, on a damp pitch with heavy clouds in the sky, it was criminal to see our bowlers (including Amir) not take a single wicket in the opening spell.

That ultimately set up the match for Australia and we have been playing catch-up since.

When you opt to bowl first in bowling conditions, you do not want the opposition openers to be 60/0 after 10 overs; you want them 40/3, and this is where Amir failed like the other pacers.
Click to expand...

Looks to me as if you go read the scorecard and rant all your negative comments, instead of watching the match and talk....

have u watched Amir's first spell... Warner and finch were beaten many times and they were playing really carefully and safely against Amir , not to edge one or get lbw , whereas on the other end all three pacers are leaking runs with such an undisciplined bowling.. One end Amir bowls a good over creates all those chances and apply pressure, the next over released by shaheen, Hasan and wahab who were bowling just short pitch stuff with the new ball..
 
It's true, taking a couple of quick wickets in the first ten overs that could help in restricting the final score to 230-250 is more useful than getting a 5 Wicket haul when the opposition is already set to cross 300.

Amir did no damage at the start, the five wicket haul was not good enough to make an impact on result of the match.

When has any team chased 300 against Australia in WC leave alone Pakistan?

Amirs inconsequential Five Wicket haul only managed to reduce the margin of defeat by around 30-40 runs.

This is why it is always beneficial to follow the match and not comment on it by just watching the scoreline at the end of the game. Australia were 190/2 after 30 overs. Then Maxwell started smashing it and they had reached 220/2 after like 32 overs. So 18 overs left and 8 wickets in hand. Aus could have easily reached 360 and beyond. Amir then came in and ripped through Australia restricting them to 307.


Then Pak was cruising to a win. We were at 136/2 after like 25 overs with two set batsmen at the crease and having ZERO issues. Then we collapsed.


So Amir's bowling gave us a great chance to win but our batting collapsed.

How many 300 scores have Pakistan chased in last 02 years ?

Pakistan could lose it from 240 for 2.

Read my post again and your post along with it.

You said Pakistan has a great chance to win after restricting Aus to 308.

You were celebrating Pakistan being 136 for 2 after 25 overs as proof that Pakistan were well on course to win the match.

Which is why I enquired about your optimism that 308 was an easy score to chase for Pakistan.

How many times has it happened before?

How many times in a World Cup?

There is simply no precedent.

Forfeiting the match is a ridiculous idea sir, and I am not surprised you came up with it.
 
Fakhar needs to back up Amir's bowling with his "pathano walay shots".

Not his biggest fan but Aamir was the Pak bowler to get those 5 wickets and he barely gave away any runs. And after that insane start by AUS he helped mitigate the extent of damage that was possible; his performance gave the Batsman a punchers chance, that wouldn't have been remotely possible when AUS looked to get close to 400.

I remember you predicted that he won't ever get 5for in white ball cricket, but now that you have been proved wrong for the umpteenth time, you have resorted to rubbish fortune telling like it will be his last, get ready to receive a humble pie soon again.

Also, witness the actual match before commenting. Amir could have taken 3-4 wickets on his own as repeated by commentators too in that opening spell where he beat the bat numerous times, his bowl partner was bowling rubbish yet he was bowling so well and trying so hard, even when batsmen were deliberately being as careful as possible and were saved by pure luck. How can one criticize him?

Impressive fast bowling performance taking nothing away from him. Yes humble pie for me I admit.

I have been critical of his performance but he has to get credit for this performance without a doubt. On a flat track he managed to be economical while other bowlers got smacked around and he managed 5 wickets on a flattish wicket where at one point 350 seemed like.

Too bad team couldnt back him up with his performance. Without a doubt his second best after champions trophy final in ODIs

Just because it's never happened doesn't mean it'll never happen.

It wasn't Australia's brilliance but Pakistan's stupidity.
 
What Amir did is equivalent of an ODI century on a green top.. I dont there can be any arguements about the merit of his performance.
 
Brilliant bowling, he should have been leading PAK in this WC, but better never than late - I hope PCB doesn't make him Captain after their disgust with Sarfraz crosses the breaking point (by that time Amir might be the same like Sarfraz - specialist Captain, who makes the squad for his leadership).

I didn't agree with your idea of making him captain but I have come round to the idea . I think he would raise his performances even more and could be the kick up the backside he needs.

I don't mind who is made captain after the WC, as long as they make the team on merit. But Amir would be something that I would be genuinely excited to see. It's been a while since Pakistan cricket has excited me.

Had to witness timid characters like Sarfraz,Misbah ,and Azhar as captain. Takes a lot out of your enjoyment. :(
 
I personally do not rate Amir but gotta admit that was a fantastic bowling spell. True that Pak lost and Amir should have been more penetrative with the new ball, but in the end that was one damn good spell of fast bowling and no one can take that away from him. Congratulations to him, he earned that 5for.

In general, batting Captain for a struggling batting unit is never a good idea - for PAK, it's almost like shooting at own feet. Only Inzi had limited success because he had the best middle order in world and quite a decent tail as well, while Misbah's batting unit in his fortress was quite decent.

But, regarding PAK's Captaincy, let the "critics" talk first - current Captain's fan base won't like these discussions. After all he won the Champions Trophy alone with his both hands (& mouth).

I said months before he was exposed how rubbish a captain Sarfraz was .

We wont CT due to Hasan Ali bowling , Fakhar performances, and Amir performance in the final. Sarfraz was just in the right place at the right time .

Amir would be a good captaincy candidate. However his own motivation seems to be the issue with his ability to survive as a captain. Also the spot fixing scandal will be a chip on his shoulder and media will twist it upon him when the time comes.

So, just because a team cannot chase a below par 300+ on a small ground, that team's bowlers should be able to blast out opposition batting line-ups below 200 runs every game?

You want to have a go at someone, have a go at Babar Azam, Imam-ul-haq and Mohammad Hafeez. These three blokes lost us the game by literally throwing their wickets away in a way that Salman Butt would be proud.

I don't care about this luck rubbish. Amir has been disgraceful for two years and his minnow level bowling has been a major contributor to our wretched run where we have lost about 90% of our matches against credible teams. Forgive me for jumping up with joy. I refuse to give credit to a 6th ranked team and the players who have contributed to that ranking.
 
There needs to be a bowler on the other end to create pressure too only one bowler cannot keep the batsmen in control if the partner is bowling too wide and full

Batsmen missed like dozens of balls that Amir bowled while all the other bowlers were being smacked right and left.

Only good balls don't get a batsman out. Its pressure also. They could not hit anywhere on Amir's balls so when they ended up trying they lost their wickets.

Even if you combined 10 Wasim Akrams together into one bowler he won't be able to do **** if the fielders are going to drop all the chances.

Finch was dropped very early in the innings and that cannot be blamed on the bowlers.
 
Bowled great this match im sure he wouldve gotten 5 earlier if our fielders held all the catches..

Wahab bowled good as well, shaheen should bowl 5 pvers before the match to warm up
 
There are 2 players in this current Pakistan team who can lift Pakistan to victory over India - Fakhar Zaman and Mohammad Amir.

What has the past 2 years got to do with that match, how does he deserve criticism when his bowling partner was the reason he didn't get wickets in that opening spell, yet he still on his own managed to restrict Australia to a chaseable target?
