There is a difference between when you toil hard to earn a place in Pakistan team or you are gifted a seat in Pakistan National Team due to being related to someone [Babar as cousinf Of Akmal and Imam selector's nephew].

Once they did'nt pick Asif Ali I knew they'll play slow but atleast one should've shown intent to qualify.


There are fans sitting there who come to cheer for Pakistan atleast show intent dammit everyone knew its a tough task but show some teethfor your country.
You have 2 players playing for themselves than for the team in a World Cup match.

This is the end result of the corruption in our cricket system. For me there is nothing to watch in this team anymore.
 
Half way through and only 116 on the board. Should start slogging now. Otherwise what's the point?

Guys, relax.. You cannot expect 500 runs!!

Try to win the match by playing normal game.
 
Delete this thread.. babar is playing on merit. You guys have absoulute zero cricket sense wanting asif in the team.

Asif dropped 3 catches vs aus. Basically made us lose.
How on earth can you justify his place.

He hasnt scored once in the chances he was given this wc and has been a serial catch dropper
 
Shame on Pakistan for this timid effort. Every other team would have gone for an attempt at breaking the world record to get to semi. No spine.
 
We dont have the players to score 500..

How can you expect them to do it?

Just win the match, there is no way we were qualifying on RR.. we needed england to lose one.

I have played club cricket at professional level. How many matches Pakistan has won since Imam and Babar are playing for Pakistan?

How is Babar playing arm deliveries that the top order of any country in top 7 would launch for six. Merit rofl knocking the baowl arounsd was droppedfor spooing one in the air he will do it again. He doe'snt have technique and completely freezes out under pressure.
 
come on how did you believe that those poor guys are gonna score 400 or 500 and then make to semis ?? Even England , India or Aus. can't do it if they are in situation of pakistan batsmen.

I'm positive Kohli would've tried to get 450 if he was in a similar situation. Maybe would've motivated the rest of the team to try to do the same.
 
:)))

This meltdown.

Have you ever played cricket? Or even watched it? 450, 500, is not possible. Winning by 340 is not possible.

They'll win the match, that's what matters at this stage. World Cup was lost after the AUS game.

Pakistani fans are so giving if these jokers played for 300 running around rotating strike hitting an odd boundary they still would've supported them for that. The reason is they arenot playing for the team total ehy never played for the team total for 2, 3 years they are in Pakistan team. They play for their averages, selfish and shameless

Hahahah so they'll win by scoring 260 on a flat deck you know a lot of cricket btw rofl.
 
Again talking about it is easy. I see why youre here posting and hes there playing.

Hes has strengths and weakness' but im sure he'll out bat u any day.

If he froze under pressure we wouldnt have won that nzl match.
Dont compare club cricket to international. Its illogical. Its like comparing college basketball players to nba players.

2 club cricketers are playing internationals right now rofl. He can't hit around the ghround he has selecteda areas thats why he plays Mehidy as though he is some Murali spinning the delivery. Babar Azam is cancer this was same said for Shoaib Malik today we can see what you get when you reward selfishness.
 
Sorry but are these people living in a fantasy world who think you just turn up and score 500?

Seriously, have you guys thinking this actually watched cricket before?

Pakistan cricket should be ashamed to have fans like you.

At 148-1 after 29 overs, Pakistan have a fantastic foundation due to their top order so far.

They now have a really good chance of winning this game, a game I thought Bangladesh would beat them in.
 
Pakistan has no realistic chance to qualify for the Semis, even if they go hard at at every ball and manage to score 400 somehow, how can you expect them to get out Bangladesh before 100 on the same pitch?

The most sane and normal thing to do is to bat sensibly, post a 300+ total and win this match to end the losing streak against Bangladesh. Boys out there are doing the same thing & there's no shame in that.
 
This is great batting. Some of our fans are truly clueless. You should stop watching cricket
 
Well they are here to stay. So if you don't like watching them, don't watch us play.
 
Blame the Pakistan captain. Why would you say something which has never been done before and build unrealistic expectations from fans. A good Babar 100 would now be labeled as selfish due to rubbish pre-match claims by the skipper.

People are expecting the team to score 500 in real now. :facepalm:

This.

Babar is going to be Pak's best ever batsman, and this guy is ashamed of Babar. :)))
 
Don't embarrass yourself. Pakistan scoring 500, or even 400, and then skittling Bangladesh for under 200 runs was and is never going to happen. These outlandish scenarios only come true in dreams.
 
I agree with the intent thing, they started off as if they didn't want to try for it in the first place. If they had started swinging hard right from ball one, even if they had failed, at least the intent would have been there. Looking at the run rate now, I think they may get 300, which will be useless kind of, as Bangladesh aren't getting out for 35.
 
Bunch of losers saying this is great batting. If you are happy with being timid rubbish then ok.
 
Pakistan should aim to score around 330 and win the match.Some fans are getting excited for nothing.Pakistan is not going to make it to semi finals.It is not the end of the world.
 
Simply change the channel on your damn tv if you are feeling so ashamed of watching them.

Yeah should have gone out there swinging and been 150 all out, so that the fans would be even angrier at us losing a 5th match in a row to Bangladesh.

Anyone who SERIOUSLY thought we have a chance of qualifying here was delusional. Respect the opposition. BD is not a gully team that you turn up, score 500 and bowl them out for 150.

I don't care if we lose today. Intent was needed. We ain't winning any more cups with these soft players.
 
Yeah, Babar Azam averaging 52 after scoring 3000 plus runs and 10 hundreds is in the team because of his cousins.

I'm embarrassed of you as a human being.
 
Babar Azam could have played more sensibly to get a self satisfying century and his name etched on Lord's honor board. But the guy does not have the class for such nonsense things.
 
The OP in his multiple guises and accounts repeats the same script in every thread.
 
why they said they will try to score 500 runs? this is disgraceful :facepalm: Pakistan need a culture reset

its a day of the jokers ... lol ... batted brilliantly ... some people have abs no cricketing sense and they are being experts here lol
 
This thread should be deleted.

Actually let it stay on. I enjoy it when the op embarrassed himself
 
I would love to get this team beaten today by Bangladesh.. so there ordinary world cup campaign doesn't get masked by this one game... This team needs a serious revamp... Imam after today will cement his place and that will be the biggest disaster than the world cup itself for pakistan... How can u play out two to three dot balls in final overs of the game with eight wickets in hand is beyond me... absolutely pathetic approach by the team
 
Imad is here to stay. This clearly is team policy and he has done well to follow it
 
do some Pak fans really want to improve their team? some of the replies here would suggest that there is no problem with Pak cricket; if you dont accept the problem how can you fix it?
 
Feeling ashamed of being a Pakistani knowing that some Pakistanis think like this
 
Where are the gentlemen who were bashing India for lack of intent? That thread gets bumped at least a couple of times every day. Now everyone is happy with 300 lol. They didn’t even try for 400.
 
Times like these bring out these colors in people.Shame on OP.Pitch,conditions,opposition don't matter.This is not stick cricket.

Babar is not the problem. Why should we fix it?

Yes, there are other embarrassments, like Sarfraz, Malik, Hafeez, Fakhar. Overall, team is also an embarrassment because of what they've done in the last 2 years and in this WC.

Hahaha

Basit Ali and Tanveer were mocking Indian journos using the term 'cricketing sense main' you're sdoing the same but trying to fool us.

tell me how many scoring shots and dot balls that joke Imam played.

I knew there is a lobby that will come down against anyone who goes after inzi camp but sometimes its important to stand for Pakistan team and fans who pray for these jokers.

Imam ul Haq hitwicket on 100 rofl. He hit wicket Pakistan team when he came out to open.

This is 100 slaps on pakistani fans not runs to secure his place for next series. There was no spin for Mehidy he was just altering length but this joke Imam bated 30+ dots against him.

They think we are fools and would accept this topi drama.

Hahaha If i say sonmething then you'll resort to personal attacks. All are embarassments including Babar Azam and Imam.

They plucked out confidence from Fakhar by budening thm to play fast and be nanny to Imam. While Imam and Babar were selected even after avging 6 and 9 in series against top teams.

Fakhar, Sarfraz, Hafeez all have been dropped in the last 2-3 years barring these 2 wonder p@rchis. Sarfraz was dropped alongwith other 6 vs Australia in Pakistan home series. Babar was given a long rope yet Pakistan has'nt been successful as these investments are selfish and self-serving.

These 2 cancers and bottlers will only give message to youngsters to forget about team totals or wins play for your averages by remaining not out and you'll get an easy seat in national team without doing much.

to start with , Bangladesh is no nimbibia... so you expect to score 500+ against them when 500 hasnt happened ever?

did you actually see the game? the pitch is slow and with tennis ball bounce.... extremly difficult to play

the spinners were actually bowling well, need to stay on the wicket to get anything going

put a Lahore XYZ club bowling lineup and ask any team, apart from top 3 in the table, to score 500 and i will bet everything , on this wicket, that they cannot.

so feel the slaps on your face bcz u deserve it for not understanding the game and not even looking at the opposition at how good they are

And hitwicket, thats the first time ever in the history a batsmen has gotten out hit-wicket... oh crap, thats happed a lot ... lol
 
We are well past the stage of feeling ashamed. In the end we are all addicted to the game and will go on to watch it as long as we breath. But expect nothing in return from this team.
 
Congrats
[MENTION=150544]Rellu_Katta[/MENTION] your crying going to waste, social media annihilating Imam ul Haq and Pakistan team right now. For the first time, a Pakistani batsman who got a 100 in World Cup getting bashed and ridiculed alongwith Babar. Pakistani fans have realized these cancers Imam and Babar were just playing for themselves and not for the team.

And the word that is ringing around is 'INTENT'. Pakistani selfish batsmen never showed intent and played for their personal scores. Played heluva lot of dot balls on a good pitch. It won't be enough if Shakib plays till the end.

Whats more sad is
Pakistan is out of the tournament before Bangladesh bats.

The media that has been biased towards this team will now get active and for ratings will go after all the monsters from chief selector to his nephew in the team.

Pressur wil be applied for the next selection committee to remove Imam fdrom the team. They're planned a 2.5 months time before next series to cool it off but it won't.

Even on some of phatta pitches that England got in World cuo Couldn't make 400.
Todays wicket was slow . Realistically 350 Was on the Cards with the platform Babar and imam set but Credit to BD They pulled it back
 
Babr is a good batsman and improving by the day. He is not quite reached the level of 'Greats' but I hope he gets there.

As for the other lot, they are not not fit for the world stage. Just saying.
 
This thread just shows that Pakistan just wants to play T29s and T10s.

Pakistan (at least its fans) has been obsessed with making 400 runs. How many ODIs in the last 5 years have been lost by a team batting first and making 300. Or even in this CWC where England claimed to target 500, just once a team lost after posting 300.

That’s why India is happy making 300-325 in every match and winning 80% of matches. Pak wants every batsmen to be boom boom.

Pakistan does not deserve Imam and Babur, just Fakhars and Asifs.

dont care if the bloody idiots dont get how the game is played.. so they wanted to go bashing ball one and get all out 150 lol

Babar and Imam were selfish scoring at SR of 100 but Fakhar was a hero for his 13 of 30 lol wat an abs joke of a mindset... intent ? have you actually ever played a game of cricket? lol if it was that easy, every tom dick and harry would be a cricketer scoring 100z lol .. and lastly, Bangladesh have proven in the tournament they are not pushovers, they will challange but it would be a good game .. from your thoery, if the openers dnt get out at all, they can bat for 5 days lol ...

some people are just junkers of highest level lol
 
Some clueless and amateur fan has started this thread.

Babar and Imam are the future. We need to find more like them may be little more better strike rate to become a good side. Mickey has developed these 2 fine cricketers for us.

Please keep Mickey as a Coach. Dont want a Pakistani Coach.

Bangladesh bowling was below par today, they rely on Mustafiz and Shakib, only Shakib did well. Mehidy was a good addition but he failed to spin the bowl. He kept on darting in. Imam played a lot of dots against him. If any other opener from top 5 ranked team was there they would've bashed him into thse stands. This was a 350-370 pitch. These 2 cancers like always cost Pakistan 50-60 runs.

If Pakistan had made 350 still many Pakistanis would be praising the effort despite Pakistan being out of the World Cup but the selfish stand of 150 on 148 balls by Imam-Babar has riled up the whole nation who watched today.

If a player is rewarded for contributing losses for the team and playing for himself by just improving his average, how will that team ever win?


Fakhar Zaman had a great strike rate before imam partnered him in top order. His average, strike rate and confidence all are down. No one will be nanny to these individuals to keep the score board moving so that Imam saheb can consolidate his innings while team suffers.
If Babar and Imam become future our future would be bleak. You're going to become the 9th ranked team of 216 who used to stumble playing against Zimbabwe on a better pitch.

Credit goes to Inzamam not Mickey for supporting these 2 selfish blokes in the team

N one is dreaming of unicorns by asking for better players than Imam who are available in our domestic system and deserve playing ahead of this selector's nephew p@rchi. We are not asking for Pakistan players to get trained on video analysis like other more professional teams we are begging for basic stuff merit in 2019 rofl.

Still crying
:)))

Pakistani media is about to start within a few hours. Sikander Bakht, Rashid Latif and others will be trolled by Indians on social media how Pakistani selfish batsmen not Kiwis are responsible for Pakistan's qualification shortcomings. They'll come harder on both nephew and the uncle chief selector for what he did past 3 years.

Fakhar Zaman was not picked for consecutive series on the trot these 2 were. These 2 has zero pressures by team management and no roles apart from batting as passengers. Post mortem will expose new truths about these 2 in coming days starting from today.
