ICC World Cup 2023: Australia v Pakistan | Match 18 | Bengaluru | 20 October | Australia Innings

[Saanji]

Someone tell pakistan they are not playing test match in Australia against Australia.
Poor review, dropped catch. Wayward bowling.
All needed is comical run outs when pakistan bats.

 

[Sunzi]

Reminds me of Waqar missing the 1992 World Cup.

So you're suggesting we'll win the whole thing in a roundabout way

Ha Ha!

 

[Ahmed216]

This team is not strong mentally. And that dropped catch won't help

 

[mominsaigol]

Cake boys well done

I said Warner was a has been, but it seems Pakistan wants to help him get back to his prime

 

[boomboomcheema]

This is all makings of a very heavy and demoralizing defeat coming up. Pakistan Management should start preparing for 2027 WC already, forget this one.

 

[YousafTheBeast]

Shadab would’ve taken that

 

[Zeshan547]

Just wao ,i am speechless , classic Pakistan , Only Pak can pull off such amazing things. That up there with that Sohail tanvir drop.

 

[Swashbuckler]

Feeling bad for Usama, he must be under so much pressure now.

 

[Kianig89]

Warner Always have 2 3 lives against us we are generous or may be his fanboys

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

Just look at the face of Usama Mir. Someone needs to hug him. Looks like he is about to cry.

 

[Omer2002]

Its a reality check...ICC shud have never let us qualify for this world cup.i cant believe Windies are sitting at home even Zimbos my goodnesss

 

[lazy cricketer]

usama is a terrible fielder i saw him drop 2 3 catches in the same match in the hundred

 

[Shafi]

Our players always drop catches against Australia. That's what happen when you have appoint cheap desi coaches without any skill.

 

[Raja Ishtiaq]

Enough Waqar Younis!

 

[160KPH]

This is all makings of a very heavy and demoralizing defeat coming up. Pakistan Management should start preparing for 2027 WC already, forget this one.

Go somewhere else if you’re gonna like this.

 

[Kianig89]

After that drop there might be dressing room bust up tonight that catch alone was worth 50 run

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Like predicted 350+

Cakes 150

 

[Markhor]

Not fair on Shaheen. He's definitely been well below his best recently but he's had dollies dropped against Kusal Mendis and now David Warner.

 

[Kianig89]

After that drop there might be dressing room bust up tonight that catch alone was worth 50 run

 

[Nasty Naz]

I can't believe that catch was dropped. Come on man...

This is why Pakistani bowlers don't bowl tight lines/length to force false shots because they know the fielders can't ever take a simple catch. Basically have to bowl up and wickets via LBW/bowled.

Warner is like the last game you want to drop considering his success vs Pakistan.

 

[Aseem_Khan]

Shaheen bowling well !

 

[Swashbuckler]

Pakistan has a mental block against Aussies,

 

[Ahmed216]

Missing Naseem more watching Hasan bowl today

 

[Sunzi]

Good work Saud. Hasan, Allah de vaaste - stop bowling toffees.

 

[shah_1]

Hasan Ali you are medium pace trundler. How could your line and length be so poor?

 

[kron]

Droppp fgs.

Cmon. Man

 

[Devadwal]

Rizwan certainly stop a boundary

 

[angrypathan]

Bakwas bowling

 

[Kianig89]

Aus on course for 370 to bat out Pakistan

 

[Sherazkhalid]

This is classic what would you rather do, drop shahdab and Usama drops Warner or play Shahdab and go for plenty.

 

[castortroy]

How can you be rubbish at fielding for the last 50 years.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Small boundaries, flat pitch, high altitude, dew, even 350 can be chased here.

Moreover this is Bengaluru, cool pleasant climate, so the team fielding first won't get too tired.

350 has never been chased in Bangalore

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

That drop just cost us the game. You do not give Warner a second chance on a flat track.

 

[SalimBhai]

Pakistan has a mental block against Aussies,

Who is saeed anwar look alike? What is cake?

 

[adi_62941]

Looks like hassan ali is injured or what. He is taking a strange pause just before delivering a ball

 

[RyanRyan10]

Its a reality check...ICC shud have never let us qualify for this world cup.i cant believe Windies are sitting at home even Zimbos my goodnesss

What nonsense? Pakistan have already won 2 matches in this tournament, which is 1 more than WI achieved in the last edition.

 

[hitthestump]

Fantastic stop by Rizwan.

That is 5 wides with any other keeper.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Ladoo giving extras back to back.

 

[saqib.rai]

I HOPE ALL THE "EXPERTS" WHO WANTED SHADAB OUT ARE HAPPY NOW

dosti yari dosti yari. Koi logic nahi

The guy saves 10-15 runs in the field alone

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Gotta control the swing on offer. Too many wides given

 

[Amjid Javed]

Not a great start with ball and can't be gifting Warner lives

 

[shortbread]

Hasan looks like he's huffing puffing, was he among the players who fell ill?

 

[kron]

Hassan don't we have anyone else. Someone else for sure. Why dint we groom zaman.khan. ihansullah is injured? Even wasim jnr I would take over him

 

[latecut]

International cricket, when playing for such demanding fans, can be cruel. Less demanding fans, like say South Africans will not mind such misses, though.

 

[daytrader]

Shadab would’ve taken that

Pakistan already missing our best fielder

 

[Devadwal]

Pakistani bowling is so far not bad .

 

[Firebat]

The guy saves 10-15 runs in the field alone

And he makes up for that and more for the opposition with the ball. Let Usama get smashed around at least first before saying this

 

[lazy cricketer]

long day ahead guys...ill probably watch highlights lol...nothing in this pak team excites me

 

[Swashbuckler]

350 has never been chased in Bangalore

1 game here in the last 6 years. Remember the match against Australia where Rohit scored 200 and then Faulkner scored a 100 late down the order?

 

[Devadwal]

Four more by Warner

 

[160KPH]

They’re finding some movement, just need to cut out the few wides

 

[castortroy]

This pace attack is just way too expensive

No pak bowler is capable of bowling 6 deliveries in the same spot

 

[ex-q-zit]

I HOPE ALL THE "EXPERTS" WHO WANTED SHADAB OUT ARE HAPPY NOW

dosti yari dosti yari. Koi logic nahi

The guy saves 10-15 runs in the field alone

But his primary job is to bowl and take wickets in the middle overs. If you want him for his fielding then he can come in at any time to field as a substitute.

The only thing that we need to see now is how the dropped catch will affect Usama's confidence when he comes to bowl.

 

[emranabbas]

Pakistan has already given up

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Ladoo giving bad balls every over

 

[angrypathan]

Not a single delivery above 140kph

 

[Iamcoolwhiz]

Australians are not yet looking settled, still some hope for Pakistan

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

How can you go through a career in club cricket and not know how to take a regulation catch?

 

[Devadwal]

AUA 37/0 (6)

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Ladoo already over 7 runs an over.

 

[boomboomcheema]

Run rate 6 already, no wickets lost. 400 Loading. Would rather have scoreboard pressure on my side than against. Imagine batting against Starc while chasing 400.

 

[RyanRyan10]

Ladoo giving bad balls every over

Why are you calling him Ladoo?

 

[Markhor]

Time to shut off the TV. Hard to stomach this anymore.

 

[160KPH]

Still can’t believe it... strike bowler low on confidence and you drop an easy catch off his bowling

 

[Theo_14]

Is this the preparation Pakistan has made for the World Cup? Balling loose deliveries and missing simple catches?

This is amateur cricket. The attitude and spirit looks so down. Really bad vibes.

 

[hass]

Been saying for a few days that this is the game I expect any semi final talk for Pakistan will be laid to rest by an Aussie onslaught. They are the better and stronger side with better captaincy and tactics, end of story.

 

[emranabbas]

I HOPE ALL THE "EXPERTS" WHO WANTED SHADAB OUT ARE HAPPY NOW

dosti yari dosti yari. Koi logic nahi

The guy saves 10-15 runs in the field alone

Saves 10-15 runs with fielding and then gives extra 50+ runs with bowling

 

[Saanji]

Pakistan bowling has been below par leaky in this world cup and now in banagalore 350+ should be scored. But good thing is, with small boundaries .. Pakistan can chase it.

 

[JattMaula]

Not a single delivery above 140kph

Rauf to come yet.

 

[Sunzi]

Literally incapable of just bowling the same line and length over and over. How are these amongst the top 5 seamers in the whole country?

 

[AAli98]

I HOPE ALL THE "EXPERTS" WHO WANTED SHADAB OUT ARE HAPPY NOW

dosti yari dosti yari. Koi logic nahi

The guy saves 10-15 runs in the field alone

& in return will give 2 sixes per over

 

[asfandyar]

Socialist board, socialist results.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Starc and Hazelwood will take 3 to 5 wickets in the first 10.

 

[imshally81]

Not a bad bowling by Pakistan

 

[Rana]

Pakistan have bowled reasonably well

Australia just waiting for bad balls

 

[boomboomcheema]

any chance of rain ? Getting one point out of this game is better than losing 2 in a sureshot defeat.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

1 game here in the last 6 years. Remember the match against Australia where Rohit scored 200 and then Faulkner scored a 100 late down the order?

I know but people are using IPL to judge it as a chasing venue. It's not that easy to chase 300 + in ODI's. Teams usually slip up either against movement and bounce upfront or against spin later.

Unless this track eases up significantly and OZ bowl rubbish + catch poorly, 330 is game done and dusted.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Not fair on Shaheen. He's definitely been well below his best recently but he's had dollies dropped against Kusal Mendis and now David Warner.

Tbh if you bowl terribly you won't get much luck.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

well tbh bowlers are trying, apart from few bad balls here and there but that dropped catch was worst thing that could happen

 

[Devadwal]

Good bowling by Shaheen
