Did he really say that? Then people wonder why I don't want him commentating on Pakistani matches. He loses the plot and is reduces to lazy cliches and stereotypes.
 
Most teams would not have made 350 on this pitch. ONly ENgland due to their depth made 350 here. This is more like 300 pitch at the best.
 
Even if I Pak does well in the WC the team management has already done enough to be sacked but you never know

Our fans were doing bhangra and victory lap when England looked like scoring 320 at one point, and people were mocking England's batting prowess and depth. It appears that they could not wait for a bit and see how Pakistan bat before shooting their load prematurely.

Our fans never learn and they deserve to be humiliated over and over again. Easily the most delusional fanbase in the game by some distance.

I think I'd give that to Bangladesh.

No. He didn't say that lol He said Babar is ranked no.1 Other commie clarified with him "Is he better than Kohli". HE said he was talking about ranking. Kohli hardly takes part in T20 international. Obviously he won't have good rankings there. He misses almost every T20 series.

No he didn't, he clarified it by saying Babar is the No.1 ranked player, not better than Kohli

He didn't say that. He said Babar is ranked no.1 in T20Is in the world.

Yes, how can it be OUT when the ball is clipping leg stump?!?! Stupid rule, DRS should not protect the umpires but give a fair decison.

Abid got a terrible decision. That looked like it was going then leg for sure. And Hafeez should have taken that review. Haven't seen such pathetic umpiring in a long time.
 
Should only be one wicket down, biased umpire has cheated us.

It's only a few posters. I think you generalise too easily.
 
Not sure if these games answer the question whether hafeez or Malik deserve to be here.
Ppl will argue hafeez got a fifty last game. All I will say is that if you’ve played cricket for 15 years, and when you are batting in fifty you are expected to close the game. Otherwise you are no better than any young cricketer who is talented but not experienced enough to handle the nerves. As for Malik, he is a sorry figure who should not be here.
 
Class from Babar. Only player who looks to be improving alongside Imam

We can only afford one in the playing xi during the WC and none after that
 
Sarfaraz has said before this series he would bat at 4. It’s costing the team that he did not do that. Hafeez is a perennial stage fright candidate.

He lost himself when Babar played that effortless pull shot. Nasser being a Babar fan boy said that he feels Babar might be even better than Kohli.

All south Asian fans are delusional to differrent degrees.

Pakistanis and Bangladeshis are the worst.
Second place goes for India and the humblest of us all is Sri Lanka.
 
Babar is left with way too much to do. Don't think he can do without significant support from others especially outside the power play. A 150 plus partnership in the next 25 overs.

I know a lot of posters were very upset at Abid not getting a game . . but he was always going home and now its pretty much game set and match for him . .

It's unfair for him to play under such immense pressure . .

If Asif Ali was coming in, in place of Abid Ali . . dont make populous decisions . . throw Babar in to open and play Haris Sohail . . those are the people that will play . .

Also . . this is where I want Haris to come in bat . . not freaking Hafeez!! I wonder what they discuss in team meetings? What kinda strategy they work on? How do they determine which player is best at what position?

And there you go . . Hafeez gone as well . . which is good . . cuz I want Haris to bat at 4!! Hafeez should never be close to batting in the first 25 overs . .

Is the management going to realize it? I don't think so!! Daft!

They don’t discuss anything. Just look at Fakhar, he doesn’t even know what his weakness is. And Faheem was a regular in our team. So, I dont think anything is discussed in meetings. Just eat some pakore and drink tea.

Good practice nevertheless for a player who often gets compared to Kohli by Pak fans.

Agreed. Green tinted hype brigade are the biggest chest thumping machines.

Apparently they will cost us at the WC according to a thread.

We have players like Sarfraz ,Junaid ,and Faheem but the main 2 run scores will cost us.

How did you come to such a conclusion we are the most delusional? I think theirs a difference between passion and delusion. Fans who pay money to go into a stadium and support their team have every right to cheer and push on their team. Nothing wrong with being happy of restricting England to 350 when they weren’t o. Course for 450 runs plus!

I hope you don’t respond trying to use the argument of authority and tell me how you’re a medical student. Remind me a bit of DR Zakir Naik.
 
Babar can easily be the 2nd best batsman in all formats. He needs to play for the team, and learn from his mistakes

Kohli will be no 1 till he retires
 
Babar playing beautifully. He must remind his partner that this is not Karachi street cricket.

Why are you so fixated on how fans act, seems like such an irrelevant thing to focus on. Doesn't matter if you're ranked at the top or bottom fans will back their team regardless.
 
Pakistani fans are the most delusional but English fans are by far the arrogant of all fanbases.
 
Sarfraz looks like he's picking up a cricket bat for the first time when compared to Babar
 
Didn't catch the first half of first innings. Was there something in the pitch that Pak seamers failed to exploit?
 
WHENever pakistan plays badly the thread get pollited with “pakistan cricket is finished” “ we r pathetic fans” “we r delusional” to those posters take your rubbish.., some where else a neighborhood country waiting with red carpet for you ..

Still worried about Babar Azams strike rate? lol
Click to expand...

Not still, never was a worry, otherwise for 3 years he won't have been suggested for opening slot. It's about his intentions, which has been discussed, analysed many times here and today Key said the bitter truth about his last innings.
 
This is why Imam is so vital for this team. The team can barely bat 50 overs without him, due to his solidarity he takes the shine off the new balls making it easier for the rest of the batsmen to play.

You lot complain about Imams strike rate yet drop like a pack of cards when he's not around.

I have never, never used my profession and my career to gain leverage. I am surprised that you had to think about it.

Babar with another classy shot.
Click to expand...

but he is not better than root:uakmal. Ridiculous to even compare both .

root in the age of 24 was averaging 40 with strike rate of 85

first give the same amount of matches to babar that root have played

Need Asif Ali to get a decent score so he can't be dropped.

Yeah I get the feeling that the management will drop him in the XI for Shoaib Malik in the WC, based on the number of runs scored in the last ODI.
 
Pak fans:
Kick him out bring him in
Actually bring him back kick him out
No bring him back kick him out
 
This is actually good practice for Babar. He will most likely captain our side in 1-2 years, it’s good pracrice for him to lead the pack right now.
