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

[castortroy]

Playing Australia on this wicket was always going to end one way

Their batting is too powerful and we're always going to destroy pak

Pak bowling attack is a disgrace and has been for the last 2 months

 

[batandballbattle]

Warner in t20 mode

 

[gazza619]

I just feel that Inzi is muddling in team strategy. The XI looks very unhappy on the field

 

[Mamoon]

I’ve been saying it since day 1. Rauf is garbage and this drama will end in tears.

People wanted my head on a stick for not buying into the hype.

As usual, I have the last laugh.

 

[King_Babar]

400 on cards, Pakistan blown out of the game in just 10 overs.

 

[hass]

As a Bangalore guy let me tell my Pakistani friends you dont need to worry. This is a pocket sized stadium with a road as a pitch. High scores are a norm here. even 350 is chaseable here. All Pakistan needs to do is bowl with discipline and limit teh score below 350-370. Then they can win.

Yeah good luck getting this absolute dog poo Pakistan bowling attack to bowl a simple line and length.

 

[Devadwal]

AUS 82/0 (10 over)

 

[Sherazkhalid]

39 runs in 2 overs, we won't even do that in the 49th over.

 

[Theo_14]

Run rate is 8+. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Pakistani bowling line up getting hammered like this in a 50 over ODI match.

 

[shah_1]

Pakistan team is being murdered

It will be fun when Babar will be sacked. He had four years and he assembled the worst bowling attack in Pakistan World cup's history

 

[aukhan]

This is embarrassing, my blood is boiling at the field placements.

 

[kingusama92]

Carnage.

They're going to make 400+.

 

[Asif321]

Here comes the trump card

 

[Sunzi]

Garbage. Absolute Garbage. They're throwing on Iftikhar in the PP like he's prime Saeed Ajmal with his chucking sleeve covered. What is this.

 

[Kriketer]

Need two quick wickets to get back in the game. Pakistan needs to stay focused

 

[Omer2002]

Chacha bowls much better than this...he has bowled awfull too unbelieveble this pathetic team

 

[angrypathan]

Pakistan don’t have the intent. They play the bowler not the ball. It’s the approach that leads to not attacking a single delivery from Kuldeep in the last game

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Beautiful shotof either Cubbon park/Lal Bagh

 

[castortroy]

Match was over when mir dropped Warner

 

[emranabbas]

Now do people understand????

It will be all forgotten after few games vs Nepal

 

[aukhan]

Babar should be sacked after this loss. Rizwan should take over.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Aa gaya woh shakar jis ka ta saab ko intezar.

 

[RyanRyan10]

Aus has been the worst batting side in the middle overs and have collapsed in this phase multiple times on this year. There's no reason it can happen today as well.

 

[Firebat]

Usama got a big job here...

 

[Thephenom]

So far I’m glad I’m at work today!

 

[Hawkeye]

Started watching late.

Can someone tell how the CROWD was specially at the start?

Any booing for Babar Azam?

Or cheers this time?

 

[Bhaijaan]

That Warner six to Rauf, my goodness what a shot

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

Haris Rauf has a great bowling average of 25 taking 58 wickets..
But but but..

Remove records against Netherlands, Nepal, Afghanistan and Bangaldesh, he averaged close to 40 conceding More than 6 runs per over.

Overrated??

 

[batandballbattle]

Run rate is 8+. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Pakistani bowling line up getting hammered like this in a 50 over ODI match.

Only thing that compares is ross taylor's bludgeoning towards the end of their innings in 2011

 

[160KPH]

As usual, I have the last laugh.

So Pakistan playing bad is when you celebrate? Kind of odd if you’re rooting for a team.

 

[Omer2002]

Omg mir on....he looks shell shocked and nervous

 

[zaidihusain]

This Pakistan team can never even dream of starting like this. They have top ranked batsmen but they need 10-15 overs to read & understand the pitch

 

[Shafi]

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

Big win for Australia coming!!!

 

[jnaveen1980]

Usama is going to be Pak's trump card provided he doesn't bowl half trackers like Shadab

 

[bones]

Unless there is some serious turn this looks like a terrifying prospect today.

 

[Rana]

Match was over when mir dropped Warner

Don’t scapegoat him. What about Shaheen’s review?

 

[saqib.rai]

Haris Rauf is the most overhyped cricketer in our history.

The guy has a pathetic economy be it international matches or PSL.

But people take his name in the same breath as Shaheen. He is not even 1/10th the bowler

And why is iftikhar bowling when Nawaz is the premier off-spinner??

 

[Hitman]

I said it before, the Aussies don't take defeats lightly. Their defeat in the first couple of matches in this WC meant they were going to come back strong.

 

[Kianig89]

Man this is becoming torture time to close the tab

 

[YousafTheBeast]

This ground is perfect for players like Sharjeel, Fakhar, Azam Khan etc…

 

[Vikram1989]

I felt chacha was chucking at 9.5.his flatter delivery towards offstump looked like a throw.am I correct or assuming?

 

[aukhan]

Praying for Hamza to perform today. We need to get rid of Dost # 2 Shadab permanently.

 

[160KPH]

I’m not sure how good Usama Mir is, I don’t remember watching him bowl, but Shadab would’ve gone for 120 on this ground

 

[latecut]

Bring Z in place of A because A is leaking runs ? When you bring Z in then you realise that A was lesser liability.

 

[batandballbattle]

Not much you can do with warner in this mood except put men on the boundary and pray

 

[Mamoon]

This ground is perfect for players like Sharjeel, Fakhar, Azam Khan etc…

To hit two sixes and get out?

 

[Professionalismandflair]

Dropping Shadab Khan was imbecilic. He makes the team as a fielder and batsman alone.

You have got to be kidding, right? He is a fielder. Nothing more.

 

[aukhan]

This ground is perfect for players like Sharjeel, Fakhar, Azam Khan etc…

But Sharjeel or Azam dono motay hain.

 

[Devadwal]

How can you forget that your all time great bowling attack was destroyed by Master blaster Sachin Tendulkar .

 

[Asif321]

Usama looking much better than shady

 

[emranabbas]

Praying for Hamza to perform today. We need to get rid of Dost # 2 Shadab permanently.

Hamza who?

 

[shah_1]

Haris Rauf is the most overhyped cricketer in our history.

The guy has a pathetic economy be it international matches or PSL.

But people take his name in the same breath as Shaheen. He is not even 1/10th the bowler

And why is iftikhar bowling when Nawaz is the premier off-spinner??

He is a minnow basher or good against C teams. One of the worst bowler ever

 

[Shafi]

Warner always play good against us

 

[adzzy786]

Fat rohit sharma is not playing, we know sharma is weak.

We all know that’s not true

 

[SalimBhai]

Bring Z in place of A because A is leaking runs ? When you bring Z in then you realise that A was lesser liability.

The bowl is turning

 

[jnaveen1980]

Always the most entertaining ground alongwith Wankhede to watch.

 

[YousafTheBeast]

To hit two sixes and get out?

Yes, like Warner had he been caught!

 

[Sherazkhalid]

One bad ball every over, apart from 6 bad balls from Rauf. We will keep on talking about that dropped catch.

 

[Sunzi]

This pitch is offering decent support but we have not used it enough.

 

[Statpadder Inc]

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

Wi won 2 matches last tournament- pak and afg

 

[adzzy786]

Usama Mir looks like nothing special, why all the hype. abrar is better

 

[aukhan]

Hamza who?

Usama*
I'm always confused between Usama Mir and Mir Hamza.

 

[viking2559]

After this match Pakistan should book flight and come home. No need to embarrass the nation more. It's just pathetic by these guys.

Look at their body language they have already lost.

 

[ex-q-zit]

So many wanted Usama instead of Shadab. I just checked his stats. He has 11 wickets from 9 matches with best bowling of 4 wickets gainst NZ C team. I wonder why so many wanted him in the team as if he was teh second coming of Warne.

 

[shah_1]

Should be dropped from after this match

 

[angrypathan]

Brainless bowling

 

[Mamoon]

Yes, like Warner had he been caught!

Warner needs one chance, those clowns would need 3-4 to capitalize.

 

[castortroy]

*** is Rauf bowling here

 

[jnaveen1980]

Zampa will also have purchase here. Chahal has tremendous record on this small record in the IPL history.

 

[Cric_lover4487]

Poor decision to bowl first

Australia can easily bat Pakistan out of the game here

Pakistan team is being murdered

It will be fun when Babar will be sacked. He had four years and he assembled the worst bowling attack in Pakistan World cup's history

Wait till World Cup is over. Don't forget everyone including Pak's ex players were wax lyrical about Pak having best bowling attack in this world cup.

 

[imshally81]

Why rauf again?

 

[shortbread]

They're targeting Rauf, no room for error.

 

[Firebat]

Bowled well for 8 overs then threw it all away in 2.

 

[Mamoon]

Will Rauf break the record for most runs conceded in an ODI? I think it is on.

 

[Ahmed216]

Pitch it up and bowl within stumps to Aussies. How difficult is it to understand for Rauf?

 

[aukhan]

Short and wide... embarrassing stuff this is.

 

[Ummii]

Sorry I can't see it anymore. I just turned off my TV

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Zampa will also have purchase here. Chahal has tremendous record on this small record in the IPL history.

At least 3 wickets he'll get

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Always the most entertaining ground alongwith Wankhede to watch.

Yep yep. Glad the World Cup has finally reached these venues. Wankhede tomorrow.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Rauf changed ends and still same result.
