Haris has got his revenge. David Warner is gone after smashing them all round. 325/4 now
 
Most 150-plus scores in ODIs
8 - Rohit Sharma
7 - David Warner
5 - Sachin Tendulkar
5 - Chris Gayle
5 - Virat Kohli
This is the third 150-plus score for Warner in World Cups; no other player has done that more than once.
How many against us?
 
I’m trying to understand the logic behind not bowing Iftekhar l’s full quota, particularly when guy gave 15/16 in his last 5/6 overs and a lefti batting all through the innings. Now the last PP - sure Babar isn’t planning to bring him back!!!
 
Finally a wicket, with a slow ball. Why haven’t these stupid bowlers thought about this before?
 
babar's poor captaincy is on full display on top of poor bolwing.. most economical bowler Iftikhar 37 in 8 overs and Nawaz 41 in 7 wont get to finish their quotas.. how basic this is strategic wise
 
Damage is already done for Pakistan. Anything they get from here is bonus. Could be a blowout like colombo match.
 
Bad stuff from Warner. He was in a perfect position to complete a 200.
Gorey teams don’t play for personal milestones stokes could have got a double last month.

For every stokes & Warner there are kohlis & tendulkars
 
As I said before and what you can clearly see today from the way Nawaz and Ifthi bowled. All you need is a spinner who bowls wicket to wicket , you don’t have to turn it much and you will keep them quiet. This is why Abrar should have been bought into the main squad and ask him to bowl test match line nothing special
 
Oh look, these bunch of green boys finally held onto a catch.

Nice to them to applaud Warner for smashing them into pieces.
 
Playing Australia on such a small ground with a club level bowling attack was always going to be a problem
 
Poor rauf. Love him but got owned badly. Not his kind of pitch.

Also shaheen already hi fi ing warner and patting his helmet.

Do all this after the world cup ends. Not during the world cup.
 
I know its an unpopular opinion but there was no need for Babar to shake Warner's hand. Sportsman spirit should happen after the game. Right now he should be focused on limiting the damage rather than appreciating the opponent.

You could see Babar waiting than celebrating so that he could congratulate Warner. Seems a little needy for a Kaptaan.

Oh don't worry Pakistan's World Cup ended in 8 overs today.
 
Our players are soft. Remember david warner mocking hasan by celebrating in his trademark explosion gimmick right in front of him?

If we are going to be soft we won't win anything. Like ever.
 
Another Warner ton against PAK. When has he not destroyed PAK. Entire PCt are his bunnies.
I picked him & Mitch for my fantasy team specifically for today - trust me. Both openers and basically hoping a hundred runs opening stand in quick time - that much confidence I had in PAK pacers with new ball. Paid it with bonus dividends, have to say …
 
Pak NNR going to take a massive hit today.

Got over the line playing against 2 poor teams in Netherlands and Lanka.

This is what happens when you play 2 of the better teams
 
Good comments by Hayden . In Indian conditions , you have to hold your shape and not over hit the ball at the death.

That's why you need skilled, set batters at the back end and play good, reactive shots with timing

Difficult to blindly Bazball and play over attacking cricket
