[QalandarFan]

Amir's average pace has been 141 KM/h today.

 

[sali]

Cricket is a funny game. I think India got a little too arrogant after 1st match against Pak. They went for a chase assuming Pak wont be able to reach 300. They would have been better off to let Pak chase.

 

[member250]

hafeez

 

[shaz619]

Yeah

Man the return is going to be great if they pull it off you can use that to pay insurance or other debt ) #StudentWoes

 

[Red Devil]

My God.

He's taken all of their in-form players out himself. )

Got Kohli twice )

 

[Nelson on]

Okay well you are on the wrong forum then.

 

[Hasan123]

Don't allow easy singles.

 

[Saeed]

Despite the boundaries Required rate keeps going up, not that we should worry about that. Arrogant bullies should be out of the tournament soon.

 

[big_gamer007]

India can still give pakistan a threat here . If there is a good partnership

No it's over we can't do anything.. Pakistan has won fair and square good job by their team.. Stop being optimistic there is nothing left for India now

 

[amvbfm]

Give amir another over

Should give him 2 more.

 

[Aman]

I took a punt man, I knew Kohli couldn't do it forever and Pakistan were on such a roll.

 

[Justcrazy]

Hafeez hammred here

 

[member250]

wtfff hafeez, junaid should have bowled it. Sarfraz botled here

 

[Inswing]

Damnn we should have picked rumman raees

 

[bujhee kom]

Amir just shutting up the critics quite massively here.

[MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] is worried now.

 

[QalandarFan]

Hafeez has been to expensive.

 

[Syed1]

Wrong move to bowl Hafeez

 

[Cosmic]

No i sawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww Bumraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah No--------------Balll in my dreams.................lolzzzzzzzzzzzz

[Pakistani Pace]

[Strike!]

Why bowl Hafeez now?

 

[hadi123]

Yuvraj looking good now. This is the partnership that can do it

 

[IAJ]

Rubbish captaincy

 

[pillionrider]

A lot of tuk tuk till the RRR is above 10

And your betting days are gonna be over

 

[coy0607]

Dhoni and Yuvraj could've won this for India.. if this was 2011

 

[member250]

pressure off now, stupid sarfraz

 

[marlonbrowndo]

SHouldnt have given it to a spinner against yuvraj

 

[waleed88]

bad move to bring in hafeez

 

[msb314]

rubbish from Hafeez.

 

[Syed1]

This one over turned the game... 14 off it ,

 

[IcedCoffee]

What a dumb idea to bring Hafeez now. Stupid....

Hahaha small comfort, should pretend to be a hockey fan for next 3-4 days on these forums

 

[Iffitheking]

Match losing over from Hafeez

 

[IAJ]

UV was struggling big time and now he has 3 fours in no time

 

[Nelson on]

Shot by yuvi

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Keep pace on

 

[Hasan123]

Good decision from Sarfraz

 

[waleed88]

This pitch is a nightmare for spinners loool yuvraj will eat this day and night

 

[ManFan]

Just shut up Ramiz just shut up

 

[QalandarFan]

Now it's time to get Yuvraj out Amir!

 

[Syed1]

Another over for Amir

 

[member250]

why did they play shadab khan? another stupid move. Raees could have been so much better against Yuvi and dhoni

 

[Justcrazy]

Aamir gets sixth over here

 

[Iffitheking]

Sarfaraz should have played Ruman in place of Imad, this pitch is for seamers...

Yep. 20 overs of Hafeez/Shadab/Imad to get through.

Loving the desperation

 

[Aman]

Loud Amir chants.

Amir really has shown his worth in the last few India-Pak matches.

 

[the Great Khan]

ramiz is annoying me...everytime India hits a four he thinks their gonna win..

 

[coy0607]

Sarfaraz should have played Ruman in place of Imad, this pitch is for seamers...

Or even Fahim.. we would've had an extra 20 runs

 

[yasir]

Amir got all top 3 from India, the top three batters of tournament, if this is not redemption than what it is??

 

[Syed1]

The RRR will also keep climbing.

 

[jusarrived]

if I was sarfaraz I would bowl out Amir here or may be keep 1-2 .

 

[Cuts_and_cuts_hard]

Good captaincy by Sarfraz to keep Amir going

 

[QalandarFan]

Amir finish this spell off with a wicket!

 

[WC-Passion]

They watch cricket in CricInfo - don't know what it's like to bowl with new white Kookaburra on a belter.

True it's a completely different scenario. Amir is mentally strong and has done it before in a final, had to play.

 

[dhump]

No it's over we can't do anything.. Pakistan has won fair and square good job by their team.. Stop being optimistic there is nothing left for India now

If anyone can do it it is UV and Dhoni so I agree if Pakistan get these 2 than I would not be very optimistic.

 

[the Great Khan]

so how can India still win this..

 

[Aman]

And your betting days are gonna be over

Kohli has already won me $90

 

[CricketAnalyst]

umeed pey dunya kayam hai

They did it against England in their ODI tour. 20/3 into a 200+ run partnership and an almost unchaseable target.

 

[Shafi]

Greatly missing Rummon overs. Yuvi and Dhoni may eat our spinners alive

 

[H_Sam]

this is why I posted the below yesterday

I can see why Imran Khan is saying this , and he has some reasonable cause . He is basically saying Pakistan doesn't chase well, has a brittle batting lineup, unpredictable ...whereas it's bowling is it's stronger suit, so use your stronger point later..which does makes sense.

But as I posted my reasoning in the pre match thread, there is a flipside to this ...if Pakistan bats first ..and if it's brittle and unpredictable batting gets it into a 50-3 or 80-4 situation, they don't have recovery options ..and will be facing pressure of Indian chase ..and be desperate to post 280 plus and may even collapse for 180 or so ..leaving the second half meaningless even if Pakistan bowls well and gets India to 30-3 ...top up...even 250 or so from 30-3 ...India would chase as it has the depth and experience, so batting first means that Pakistan will have the advantage only if they post 300 plus for chasing and get India to 30-2 or so ...while the 30-2 is possible ..I doubt If both 300 plus and 30-2 can happen ..unlikely..

But in case the same 30-2 happens in first 10 overs ..and if Rohit and Kohli gone ...it's possible ..for Pakistan to restrict India to 240-260 ...and then hope it's top 4 batters somehow get to 110-2 ..and this is how Pakistan has taken games into the last 5 overs . So it's a Hobson's choice for Pakistan on winning toss.

Imran seems to believe on basis of your weakness , don't chase he says...partly true ...I say the same thing based on your strength ...bowling and say ..bat first ..have confidence in your bowling ...even if you target 250, you will endup with 280 and then hope your bowling makes early strikes. But if you use your stronger suit up front and it doesn't come through as expected, you may find India at 55-0 in 15 overs ...and the Indian team will hardly mind it ..they will pile a big score professionally and bat you out of the match ...with your weaker hand coming in last...

So I will agree with Imran Khan ..but with a slightly different reason.

 

[dauntless]

Amir is most intelligent guy in the team

 

[pakistanisgreat]

should have continue with junaid after that wicket. hafeez took all the pressure off.

 

[jusarrived]

Meanwhile India beat Pak 7-1 in hockey

 

[the Great Khan]

still just 7.42 an over required..

 

[Macho Mann]

will be really pathetic if pak loses from here

 

[member250]

India will look to take on 20 overs of spinners¡, stupid move to play so many of them

 

[dhump]

if I was sarfaraz I would bowl out Amir here or may be keep 1-2 .

This is what he is doing will bring Hasan from other end lets see if he buys another wicket.

 

[QalandarFan]

If anyone can do it it is UV and Dhoni so I agree if Pakistan get these 2 than I would not be very optimistic.

They are not playing in India.

[Saeed]

Bring Hasan Ali on the other end, Hafeez won't get cheap wickets like he usually do.

 

[Eagle_Eye]

Muppet captain Sarfraz has set up yuvraj

 

[coy0607]

Bringing Hafeez on after a pathetic Junaid over was a good idea, just didn't pay off.. comentators are clueless

 

[Macho Mann]

Meanwhile India beat Pak 7-1 in hockey

pakistan has become a minnow in hockey, india is not a really good team tbh,
