Is this the game where fakhar was dropped 3 times and he scored a century
The crowd incessantly booed the Pakistani team, which is acceptable, but their behavior turned abusive, with repeated chants of 'Hum tumhare Baap hai.' I've never witnessed such an illiterate, ill-minded, and arrogant crowd in cricket before.
They will never progress or rise above other nations, regardless of how much money, always held back by history, hate, and now racism.
That's the case with India as well. Plenty of other teams, not just Pakistan. Competitive sports is a highly intense game of mental pressure absorbing as well on the highest stage. But big players have fallen succumb to it. Doesn't mean that the player is an inapt sportsmen skill wise.
They are in too big of a mess. Much bigger than Pakistan right now.
I did not observe this but I was watching the game on ESPN+, but there is a certain vitirol in India at the moment festered by modi, and it has brought out the worst in us. Alas it’s going to get worse before it gets better.
You mentioned 250 not 280
Apart from Iyer all five batsmen India fielded are better than him. Irony is even short ball choker Iyer can do things that Babar can't do in his wildest dreams; bashing spinners & hitting monstrous sixes. Any comparison with Rohit Virat is frankly disgusting & outright disrespectful. You can't compare men with boys.
.
I remember the instance when the very sportive Pakistani crowd invaded the pitch once Vivek Razdan reduced them to 3 down early. Breaking the barriers is fun and being silent is not.
I still think Pakistan team is better than India because of their raw talent and on their day they can beat any team
I know that bro. Abhi to maza lene doStill got a long way to go in WC, don't get carried away yet. Talent could go missing for India as well in semi or final going by their choking in penumtilate games in past 10 years....sabr karo
What do you call this then ?
There you go again, you did exactly what RSS Indians do, justifying RSS actions by comparing with someone else.
The off field hospitality has been top notch for Pakistan. On field have always been like this. All the times. It will remain so all the times. In Pak or in India.
Ridiculous. The crowds in most competitive sports are always a huge advantage for the home team in any sport. In the NFL, the crowd is called the 12th man and do everything they can to distract the other team. They are not friendly. They are outright hostile. When there were bilateral ties between India and Pakistan, when was the last time crowds in Pakistan cheered the Indian team when they were winning. By all accounts, the Pakistan team received great reception off field...which is how it should be. Let's call this reaction what it is. The anger at this defeat is being redirected childishly at anyone you can lash out at. I would suggest directing it at your own team.
No, today the crowd was not the 12th man, it was the 12th, 13th 14th and 15th man because no Pakistani fan was offered tickets for the match. (Unlike all other matches in this WC)
If feeling that way makes you rationalize this defeat better, great. What I saw was one team outplay the other completely in every aspect of the game. India won because they executed better. You are so consumed by your talking points, you just refuse to see that. Hostile crowds are part of India/Pakistan matches. I don't remember crowds in Pakistan being any friendlier when India played there. They were outright hostile a lot of times as well....I guess they were racist as well? What did you expect the crowd to do...cheer for Pakistan. Yes, India had a huge advantage because the match was in India. It does not change the fact that the Pakistani team melted in the face of pressure. The crowd did not bat or bowl in the middle. The players did.
Lol, India is on the right path. Apna dekho.
They didn't have to say anything to know today's game was planned with racist undertone and overtones.
That's exactly why it's not hurting like it used to, because you have already experienced it half a dozen times & frankly didn't expect this friends & fun club to break the sreak.
Don't expect the current top 4 to do anything substantial against Starc & Hazelwood. They will bully these accumulating idiots. Also Warner always loves to have a bite of Pak bowling like a piece of pie. Add to that, if Head returns it could get really ugly on that mickey mouse ground of batting paradise.
What racist? There is not a single comment on Islam or Muslims. They chanted JaiSriram which is like Allahu Akbar. Do you think Virat Kohli or Bumrah or Rohit will feel insulted if someone says Allahu Akbar to them? Stop being a baby. There is no racism. It's probably for the better that there were no Pakistanis in the stands. Otherwise you will call it a genocide because those fans were subjected to chants of JaiSriRam.
. This averages, milestones and dosti yaari has led to ruin and downfall.
Currently, Nawaz and Imam are the weak links here. they need to go out in the next match. Fakhar might come back for another game but we cannot expect much as he is not in form as well and we have no other replacement unless Babar or Rizwan come to the party.
That is the reality. As fans we need to accept that.
Also to be fair pakistan is also facing a very strong bowling attack. I am positive if indian batsmen had to face their own attack, they would also struggle. Bumrah is clearly better than bumrah
This is why I couldn’t hold my laughter when you claimed a month back that this match was 51-49 in India’s favor.
Pakistan is not a race. Why is your vocabulary so limited?
How confused are you?
Shaheen better than bumrah lol or naseem better than bumrah.
Once you decide whether you are a Pakistani or an Indian, my post will make complete sense.
You can’t give a “crap” about the behavior of Indian fans but yet you won’t stop crying about it.
You guys are deluded if you think pak will beat Australia
You are spectacularly wrong and you are still in denial.They were set for a big score but collapse got them, I still wasn't wrong had they not collapsed as on paper they were equally good, only mental pressure got them.
You werent around when they were 155-2, and went in hiding when Pakistan chased down the biggest total in WC few days ago, which is quite typical of you. World cup isn't over yet, and don't go in hiding again when Pakistan plays well next game
Firstly, congratulations on using a more apt word “political motive” instead of embarrassing yourself by butchering the word “racism”.
No no, congratulations to you on your win over Pakistan. RSS heartland must still be partying with Jay Shah.
I answered your question.
Nope you did not.
No one said anything about their legacy compared to WI and Australia. They are an excellent side today and amongst the top 2-3 teams and far better than Pakistan.
Pakistan has bigger population than all other cricket countries minus India put together. Pakistan also invests heavily in cricket because it is the only serious sport left in Pakistan. In spite of that, and teams like NZ who have less people than Karachi and cricket is their distant second sport produce better players than them.
No, it is not just due to mental pressure but also due to difference in caliber of players. This is what you tell yourself because you cannot accept the truth.
If you make a combined India, Australia, England, New Zealand teams, you will see a more balanced combination from both sides.
Lol, that is some clickbaity journalism
