ICC CT 2017 | India v Pakistan | 4th June, 2017 | Birmingham | India innings

[CricVet]

Wahab;s bowling, Hasan's fieling, and Sarfraz Captaincy has dented Pak. D/L will only help India even further if it rains again and India gets lesser over to bowl. Daunting task for Sarfu mian but Game on hai.

Very sheepish attitude so far from Pak. Can Pak have a batsman who could instill confidence to chase. We will find out how good Indian bowling is soon. I am hoping Pak will get full 48 overs to play and bury the sheepish aptitude now.

The way Hasan Ali was exposed was beautiful. Many posters thought he was really good but he never played against quality on a good pitch and was exposed. Yet at the same time he is the 2nd best bowler after Amir. that shows how far regressed Pakistan bowling has become.

 

[blue_champion]

Well Hassan atleast didn't fake injury...so by default the best bowler from Pakistan

 

[uberkoen]

Why is our target 324 in the same number of overs?

 

[fitCricFan]

Credit goes to to the batsmen. Good batting can make any good bowling look mediocre. Still cant understand as to why the final over was a spinner, that too against the Indians. Its just bad captaincy

 

[shehz]

Our DANGEROUS batting lineup Azhar...Shehzad..Hafeez..Malik.. can I throw up?

Now this is what I think going to happen..we will lose early wickets, Malik will come in and will be the only shining star by scoring 52 runs of 75 balls. People will go goo goo gah gah over his batting as he will be the only one with the highest score...That is how he retains his position by low risk sefish cricket...

now people are calling Amir injury as fake. how low can people go to defend the Trundler Hasan

 

[Madplayer]

HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

This is the best thing that has happened to pakistan. they needed a reality check as to how pathetic they have become. Now the batting will show it again. They need this spanking to get rid of the management and selectors

Everytime a team thrashes Pakistan we say that this is the best thing. Later on nothing changes lol

Dropped catches and wahab riaz are the two culprits today.

Pakistan will win this anyway but it shouldnt hide the fact that wahab should be dropped.

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Pretty good effort on a 350 pitch. Amir losing the last two overs really cost us. Most good teams would chase this down with ease on such a small ground.

 

[Napa]

Before bowlers used to make batsmen retire hurt, now Indian batsmen make Pakistani bowlers retire hurt.

I wish that Azhar, Shehzad and Hafeez fail in the batting badly, so that new players get the chance to play.

Any bowler can get destroyed when fielders start dropping chances. Confidence went down and the shoulders dropped. Is the game over though?? Let se what Indian great phhast bowling line up does here.

 

[Sin Nombre]

Rain is good for Pakistan.

Their batting can chase 180 in 20 overs but very little chance of chasing 324 in 48.

 

[Jatt_bonebreaker]

Gotta say that both Pakistani pacers chickened out here. Wahab in particular was faking the injury 100%.

Dont post that in this forum.. i used chickened out for amir and 1 poster is asking for banning me.. way too sensitive pakistani fans in this forum. Hopefully i didnt break any rules.. otherwise what a waste of 15 mins registering in this forum..

[adil_909]

when will we learn. a couple games ago vs. india we dropped sachin 4 times. now same nonsense. for once if we just execute the plans the team will win.

mickey needs to do psychological training with the team to improve their mental toughness and problem solving abilities under pressure.

 

[Zak_Fan]

If it wasn't for weather uncertainty, India would have scored 380+ here.

 

[cricguru]

India played well., give credit when it is due Great batting from all four, best thing is that this is consistent from last 10-15 years. I congradulatesour Indian supporters as they are witnessing greatest era of Indian cricket.

Pakistan is playing vs themselves (bad selection politics, poor fielding, selfish batting, and a poor captaincy)


I would say it would be a achievement if Pakistan crosses 200 today while chasing . Sad to see that this has been norm from 10-15 years for Pakistan. I don't believe we may see any improvements atleast for next 10 years

Pretty good effort on a 350 pitch. Amir losing the last two overs really cost us. Most good teams would chase this down with ease on such a small ground.

India are possibly 15 short of 350 had 50 overs been played.

If a pitch is 300 and team scores 270 in 48 overs do you say they are short and its a good effort by bowlers?

If anything every Pakistani batsmen has to play the innings of his life to get close to 320 in 48.

Yet you call it a good bowling effort

LOL.

World Cup 2011 was 6 years ago not a couple of games ago. )

 

[marlonbrowndo]

324 is not that difficult for a good batting lineup in these conditions

 

[PennOne]

Pakistan played so badly that India's score is actually really bad in restrospect. They should have scored 370 at least.

 

[Sadevdesai]

I thought we had a Plan to get Kohli out ....... hmmmmmmm !!!!!!

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

What cowards Amir and Wahab were...

 

[F16]

The last 4 overs proved too costly for Pakistan and that will make a big difference in the end .

 

[owais1]

At what time will the chase begin?

 

[Chief Destroyer]

India are possibly 15 short of 350 had 50 overs been played.

LOL.

Genius, we lost two overs from Amir which obviously pushed them to 319. I clearly stated it cost us.

 

[Jabo]

Lol

Lets see us explode

I bet we are 60-4 in 15 overs

 

[Crafty_Indian]

Now hoping our bowlers also give Pakistan's hyped bowling attack a masterclass in Bowling under overcast skies with the white kookaburra.

 

[Shafi]

Sarfraz captaincy turned out to be worse when playing with a professional team. Poor team selection, bad field placing, bad bowling changes, minnow mentality, poor planning (reveal 12 players for opposition figure it out) and what not!!!!!

 

[JaDed]

Terrible,21 short due to Sharmaji,and Kohli was pretty average as well.

 

[Zak_Fan]

Pretty good effort on a 350 pitch. Amir losing the last two overs really cost us. Most good teams would chase this down with ease on such a small ground.

Delusional about Pakistani bowling as ever. India were all set to score 350-360 in 50 overs despite the fact that for the most of their inning, focus was on preserving wickets keeping Duckworth Lewis in mind.

Epic !! Mad at Rohit though .... otherwise we might have seen a lot more damage
