ICC World Cup 2023: England v Pakistan | Match 44 | Kolkata | 11 November | England Innings

Apart from the 5 wides. This has been a terrific over by Haris. A revelation to me.

153KPH newball coming in and going out. If Haris can get control over new ball and his length. Wow.
 
Strange why Pakistan has never experimented with Rauf with the new ball? He is getting the ball to seam at 150 km/hr
For the first time in the 9 games I can see good Seam and Wrist position from Shaheen and Rauf. Question is, why did it take 9 games to figure it out and execute the same??
 
Almost caught it.

Unlucky Pakistan.
England could have been 2 down already

Yeah I’m now angrier than I ever have been at him. Placing it in the perfect areas and he couldn’t have done this for us before? Not much use now…
 
Shaheen and rizwan will be the happiest men today irrespective of the result as their grouping won. Babar will step down from white ball cricket captaincy. Shaheen will be t20 captain and rizwan will be ODI captain.

Just trying to save there face after awful 8 matches as a bowling unit
 
Shaheen is a trundler now. Pakistan should consider resting him for the tour to Australia. He looks seriously jaded
 
Saw Iman-ul-Huq in the line up during the national anthems, did'nt look like he'd said no to too many 2nd helpings of them Biryani or Calcutta Mishthi dohi/rossogollas ...:)
 
That was the best 3 overs of new ball bowling I’ve seen from this team the whole tournament
 
Another ICC tournament where Pakistan has won the speedgun contest.

32 % of all deliveries delivered by PAK pacers is above 140+. 2nd highest Australia at 25% .

It's amazing how PAK wins this contest in every ICC tournament.
 
Good thing is that we will not see many changes in team even after awful performance in this WC. Maybe shan or sarfraz will be come in tests. We dont have any OdI for next 8 months or so. So no major changes in ODI except captaincy.
In T20 i see ayub and Harris to come in and shaheen leading.
 
Haris has been the fastest bowler in the world cup but unfortunately his control hasn't been good.
 
"Clash of the Titans" is reduced to this sad affair.

The attacking champions(Buttler doesn't like word defending)

Vs

The Top ranked team.


This was The marquee match of the group stage. Now it's deadest of dead rubber.

This time it’s only because of Haris Rauf though and if anything on those flat pitches with small boundaries it worked to our disadvantage
 
Pakistan is in serious trouble if this pitch is aiding swing and seam. English pacers will come into play with the lights.
 
PCB please find some captain who has a basic education not village idiots like safraz & baba who don’t know what nrr means & the power gets to there heads !!
 
ICC wants a Pakistan-India semi-final at ANY COST. Without us, there is no revenue in cricket. Without India-Pakistan match, ICC will go bankrupt

Why was Sri Lanka banned??

Because ICC asked England to lose by 300 runs- they protested by saying they will lose Champions Trophy qualification, so ICC banned Sri Lanka to ensure England qualify anyways. Now England has agreed to lose by the 300 runs. In return, ICC will compensate England in other ways

All of this has been told to me by a higher up. So yeah, Pakistan will win this match by 300 runs and play India in Kolkata

Get ready India- we will thrash you in semifinal
Sorry couldn't help laughing 🤣
 
Have a feeling, Pakistan team sensed the gravity of situation after AFG defeat before that they were callous but it was all over
 
Rauf being unlucky

He’s bowling really well and with great pace
 
Thankfully Eng are batting otherwise it would have been more humiliation
 
Rauf can’t control the new ball - might bowl one off Jafar, but in general absolutely no control; bowling both side of wicket. This is where Naseem is missing, but then Waseem won’t be found, because Babar won’t drop Rauf.

What's the point!!!! Anyone can run and throws ball fast but I would rather take Pandiya or Amir over these useless runners.
 
Just feel in long tournament of this kind, when you know you have to play 9 matches in oct which is effectively second summer in Indian conditions, ICC should have stepped in and allowed squad of 17 guys. More options to choose from would benefit the quality of cricket as well.

Quite agree. These three fours would have not reached the 90m boundaries found everywhere else in the world.
 
Malan - another left hander guy -so elegant when he plays cover drive, so much time.
another under achiever like Litton Das, upul Tharanga, manish pandey
 
Shaheen and Rauf vs Mir Hamza and Dahani

I know who I would pick
Even I would pick mir hamza over Rauf pace is over rated if you don't have control. Mir hamza have control and have player first class cricket unless Rauf plays 1 full first class season he won't improve as a bowler.

And also the spraygun contest. Especially Rauf who was all over the place.
 
Babar's statement after toss. It looks like only Fakhar is given responsibility to win matches, all other batsman will be cheerleaders:

"Babar confirms he would have batted first. One change, Shadab in for Hasan Ali. "We are looking forward to Fakhar's innings, we are enjoying his batting. We will try our best, and let's see."
Mr No 1 fanboying someone else to save him lol
 
Rauf hassan ali Usama mir imam shadab Nawaz aren't the answer in the odi team they all are awful. And babar ain't a captain material
 
Rauf is mentally stressed. This WC has been a nightmare for him. He is overdoing it, trying to make things right at the last moment.
 
Should be the end of the road for Rizwan, Shadab, Imam, Iftikhar and Rauf today
Brother as you mentioned 4 players 3 players may be don't deserve, but what about rizwan I don't know that we'll about Pakistan cricket, but having watched rizwan in the last 2 years he is scoring runs and always try to score quickly, how can you remove your best batsman from the team, is their any replacement of rizwan is available.
 
Rauf is an awful bowler, should never be part of Pak team as well as domestic. Because if he goes back to domestic, he will definitely perform well and come back in national team, because none of the Pak batters can play pace over 145+, not even Babar.
 
3 overs 31

Remind me, why Imad Wasim couldn’t get in this team as a potential new ball bowler?
Lol I was crying about his selection he could have easily done a mujeeb type role for us
