England will be tough to beat in the Final and it will come down to who handles the pressure better and even I do not doubt that but the rest are not a problem, seriously I keep saying it but it's not even a joke. This team is SPECIAL, we will make the semis at the very least but am putting money on an Eng v Pak final

Probably best case scenario, bittersweet if England win for us Brummies :))
[MENTION=100918]Square Drive[/MENTION] Yes England will be a tough game but I feel it will be quite close.
 
Surprised to see the scorecard, very unlike Pakistani bowlers to take that many wickets for a paltry score in recent years, going for plenty is a norm for our bowlers which is what makes this performance noteworthy. Having said that, we need to finish it off ASAP, lately we've developed this problem of not cleaning up tail after dismissing preceding batsmen for cheap score and they end up putting up a decent partnership to inject some impetus in a depleted scorecard, giving them much needed hope and finishing innings on a high, lets hope tonight isn't the same sorta night and we're able to take the remaining 4 wickets for not many runs added to the total.

Who said we are making it past the first round. We haven't even won this match yet. And even if we do, we can still and most probably will crash out of the tournament.

We are not beating England or Australia or even NZ.

You can deny it all you want, but it's gonna happen buddy. :najam

Me and WC-Passion if England win:

And yeah it will be close, England choked in an ICC final recently as well and we tend to be a lot more confident once we reach the same stage

Delusion. Aggy was around high 130s on average. But yeah, he was Indian, so he has to be slower than Pak bowlers right?

to be honest Agarkar isn't a player any non Indian would remember much of. From what I saw he was medium pace...not even fast-medium. Unless you pull up all the deliveries ever bowled by Agarkar and figure out his avg speed we both are allowed to have our opinions. No need to get butt hurt for considering him slow...I already said nippy is anything over 140 so even if I were to take what you say as true Agarkar would still not be nippy.

English mentality is still very untested in knockout games, this resurgent England can let you down. Even in the 2016 WC they made the final closer than I thought it would be and actually lost. Watching and supporting England's national sports teams is always quite nervy.

Fair enough that you won't remember, but then you should take other fan's word for it. Or we can agree to disagree and move on. I see a lot of similarities between the 2 - Hassan bowls with a bit more intent in his runup, but both have that surprise element of quickness to their deliveries.
 
Amir is bowling embarrassing lines. Pakistan is on top here, he should look to bowl more full.
 
Amir totally lost it. No threat at all. He needs to work harder about his bowling
 
Amir needs to pick up a wicket here to prove he is the ace of this bowling staff.He cannot get better time than this to bowl.
 
Hasan Ali is clearly one of the best pacers in the world, Proteas will have no chance against Umesh + Bhuvi
 
Was it the T20 final when english could not defend 20 odd runs in the final over? Talk about choking.

:)))

Yeah I have the same thought process, England can choke and probably have a higher chance of choking than Pakistan.
[MENTION=100918]Square Drive[/MENTION] Yes I can see it now, Stokes getting hit for six by Babar to win it for Pakistan. :11:
 
shadab called, being mediocre as usual not threatening at all hafeez bowled much better than him

bowls short every now and then
 
Me and my friends watching this game and trust me we are having more fun than watching Indo-Pak match few days ago.
Though i want SA to make 200 to make it more competitive

Babar should bat with a Marlon Samuels or Brathwait mask :yk
 
Really lifeless bowling here by Amir, looks like he is hoping the batsman will just gift his wicket.
 
Unless SA gift Amir a wicket, I don't see him taking one, not when he is bowling like this.
 
Now that Africans have started to take the risk, this may cause the damage Pak needs
 
Hasan was bowling superbly. He stopped him and saving 3 overs for the end. The biggest disease left by Misbah to let the opponent bat 50 overs when pak is on top not going for the kill. If he is taking wickets continue with him if he takes more then who will be there to bat 50 overs. This killing the game when it on hand has to be injected on this team and captain. Azhar did the same in NZL first ODI where he could have bowled them out for less and be 1-0 up in that series, eventually getting whitewashed.
 
Rubbish decision to give that out, but at least it was a decent delivery. Amir has looked lifeless before that.

Yar he is a fast bowler he cant bowl 10 overs in one go, have some mercy on him
 
Miller to the rescue.

Imran Tahir will probably destroy the Pakistani batting with his googlies.

He was tired.

Don't criticise everything....
 
Why is he not bowling like this more, if he can? I don't get the defensive lines at all.
