ICC World Cup 2023: South Africa (399/7) destroys England (170) by 229 runs, leaving England's World Cup hopes in jeopardy

[Kroll]

Forgot Brook. Brooks sometimes tries to over hit and mistime it. He has to be at top of his game today

Could do with a Liam Livingstone as well.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Brutal hitting by RSA. I wonder how they will fit back Lord Temba in the playing XI Has Temba already played his last ODI for Pakistan?
Pakistan also needs to drop their very own Temba for better results

By prolonging the illness

 

[Rana]

That was just a little flick from Bairstow into the stands, made it look easy, why can't Pak openers do this?

They don’t want to

It’s against the constitution of Babaristan

 

[jnaveen1980]

England has great six hitters of their own. THey shouldn't really panic.

 

[AAli98]

Look at Bairstow bat high up ready to swing only Ifty holds the bat like that for Pak, rest have half a swing hence no 6s

 

[jnaveen1980]

I am hoping for a thriller today. Given the importance of the game i expect good response from England.

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

England are very much in the game. Only they can chase this
Seems like they will easily chase down the highest ever target in the WC history.
In 2016, they chased down a record target on the same ground, against the same opposition (different format though)
Fingers Crossed

 

[kron]

Why other team can't score same score in little ground? Your so called hitter were not even cross 45m Boundaries in Asian game's

This is a bit too small man. Just preference.

 

[jnaveen1980]

That may slide down the leg side with that angle.

 

[Ahmed216]

If there's one team that will still believe it's England. They have done it regularly but chasing is different

 

[IMMY69]

I’m usually quite respectful towards you, but take a look in the mirror. The bafoon stands in front of you.

Someone else on this thread implied they enjoy the sixes and fours and the imbalanced tween bat and ball and I respect that.

You on the other hand brought Pakistan inti this for gos only knows that reason...

If you enjoy the imbalance between bat and bowl then so be it, no issues.
But why bring Pakistan and their lack of six hitting into it?

 

[jnaveen1980]

If there's one team that will still believe it's England. They have done it regularly but chasing is different

They have nothing to lose here.

Why not??? Is it against the rules to bring Pakistan into a cricket discussion on PakPassion?

 

[jnaveen1980]

Bairstow leg side monster. They have to need two fielders

 

[Devadwal]

Gone

 

[jnaveen1980]

That was the match. Brilliant captaincy by Markram. Why do they even need Bavuma.

 

[deltexas]

As much as I like Eng- they are not chasing 400 here. And this stupid penchant for chasing is ridiculous as I said before. These are WC games and scoreboard pressure is huge. One mistake and the batsman is gone - so chasing has lot of pressure. Ind has been different as they restricted teams to less than 300. Even ind will struggle to chase 300. Eng WC is pretty much over. Their bowling has struggled and they look totally cooked this WC

 

[JattMaula]

That's English WC defence me thinks.

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

Pakistanis are physically weak athletes. Biryani khake sirf pet badhta hai, power nahi

 

[jnaveen1980]

Their next target should be Buttler. If these 2 are gone cheaply game set match.

 

[Asif321]

Seems England Pakistan and Australia will fight for last spot

 

[jnaveen1980]

They are goign to chase 400 with Root at 3? lol Good luck

 

[Technics 1210]

Why not??? Is it against the rules to bring Pakistan into a cricket discussion on PakPassion?

It is PakPassion, not PakHate.

 

[Rana]

It is PakPassion, not PakHate.

PakPassion

Passion is all about emotion. Stop being such a sulk. Toughen up!

 

[IMMY69]

Why not??? Is it against the rules to bring Pakistan into a cricket discussion on PakPassion?

Context.
When I say that I am not enjoying watching bowlers getting smashed to smithereens doesn't mean that I am talking about Pakistan.

As Simone who loves the game I want to see more balance between bat and ball...

So why bring Pakistan into it?

Also hence me asking whether you're being stupid on purpose...

 

[jnaveen1980]

Nasser and Atherton resort to talk about general topics now that things are going south for England

 

[sindhiboy]

This tournament just proves the greatness of shoaib akhtar and Waqar Younis on flat decks

those flat tracks that waqar and shoaib played on would be considered slow turners today

 

[Abraham786]

Someone smash this guy Lungi me Nach Di.

 

[WengerOut]

People who are spoilt on the Pindi highways need "sporting" pitches suddenly.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Someone smash this guy Lungi me Nach Di.

He might get away here as wankhede offers bounce.

 

[jnaveen1980]

This pitch has bounce and pace.

 

[Devadwal]

Top class bowling from South Africa

 

[Kianig89]

Stokes came of out of retirement for this humiliation

 

[jnaveen1980]

Look at the carry lol Don't call this patta. There is reward for good bowling. Brainless bowling will get punished.

 

[Technics 1210]

PakPassion

Passion is all about emotion. Stop being such a sulk. Toughen up!

But you are not a Pakistan fan, so passion doesn't apply to you.

Time you accept who you really are.

Now go cheer for your sixes.

 

[topspin]

What a ball from Jenson. Good pace and bounce at the Wankehde as expected.

 

[Rana]

But you are not a Pakistan fan, so passion doesn't apply to you.

Time you accept who you really are.

I’m not a Pakistan fan because I don’t buy into Babar’s political XI?

 

[Abraham786]

This is South African wicket rename it to wanderers.

 

[jnaveen1980]

We need a voting poll for most brainless bowling of the world cup.

 

[Rana]

People who are spoilt on the Pindi highways need "sporting" pitches suddenly.

On Pindi highways, 350 is peak performance for us

 

[Kroll]

Oh well, looks all over for Eng.

 

[Devadwal]

Gone

 

[Technics 1210]

I’m not a Pakistan fan because I don’t buy into Babar’s political XI?

Pakistan has rejected you, and will never accept you.

Toughen up; rejection is a tough pill to swallow.

 

[jnaveen1980]

great field placement once again. Markram is spot on today

 

[jnaveen1980]

Bavuma both as a captain and batsman sucks. He is fielding okay.

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

Joe Root the ODI player has been on the decline since last world cup.
Sad to watch

 

[Rana]

Joe Root absolute joke

Why was this guy not playing ODI in the past 4 years when England knew they needed him in the World Cup??!

 

[Ahmed216]

Jansen traps one of the best. SA all over ENG.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Stokes. This guy is their lucky charm man.

 

[topspin]

How did this SA team lose to Netherlands?

 

[Technics 1210]

Joe Root the ODI player has been on the decline since last world cup.
Sad to watch

He was never really an ODI player.

 

[Rana]

Pakistan has rejected you, and will never accept you.

Toughen up; rejection is a tough pill to swallow.

Rejected me how? Explain? Are you being racist again?

 

[WengerOut]

Imagine Temba addressing the team on the eve of next match and says

"Reeze, well played man !! So happy for you. You are OUT.. Aiden, you be my assistant again. We shall make history "

 

[jnaveen1980]

Joe Root absolute joke

Why was this guy not playing ODI in the past 4 years when England knew they needed him in the World Cup??!

Australia has even worse . They have just not one. But two.

 

[jnaveen1980]

England batsmen are exhausted as well.

 

[mominsaigol]

Joe Root absolute joke

Why was this guy not playing ODI in the past 4 years when England knew they needed him in the World Cup??!

Tbf, he was also the weakest link in the 2019 squad. On England pitches he's the epitome of soft run scoring.

Ironically he and Smith made me take back what I said. These 2 are the definition of why Pakistan needs to evolve.

 

[Technics 1210]

Rejected me how? Explain? Are you being racist again?

Pakistan is not a race according to you.

Now do not reply to me, I have no interest in talking with hate filled mindsets.

 

[jnaveen1980]

2 more wickets i will give MOM award to Jansen over Klassen.

 

[JattMaula]

Root!
That was an obvious trap!

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

He was never really an ODI player.

He was a master anchor. Probably on par or marginally better ODI player than Babar Azam. But, certainly better than Williamson

 

[mominsaigol]

Pakistan has rejected you, and will never accept you.

Toughen up; rejection is a tough pill to swallow.

Still trolling?

Atleast don't be cringe with hollywood movie lines .

Kane is also a 75 strike rate guy. He has one of the worst strike rate in 2019 world cup.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Stokes is a bit Dhoni like. Will be a bit more calculative.

 

[Technics 1210]

He was a master anchor. Probably on par or marginally better ODI player than Babar Azam. But, certainly better than Williamson

Master anchor for sure, but was never a match winner in ODIs. His style of batting isn't suited for high ODI chases.

 

[topspin]

Rejected me how? Explain? Are you being racist again?

He's being racist for sure. Anyone who knows your background knows what he's doing.

I've never said this before about any poster but it's about time, mods ban him for good.

 

[jnaveen1980]

wow Kushal mendis batter better than what England is doing now.

 

[mominsaigol]

He was a master anchor. Probably on par or marginally better ODI player than Babar Azam. But, certainly better than Williamson

Root was never ever close to Williamson as an odi player . Bruh.

Root only performs on England pitches and is the epitome of soft scoring. He's basically just a superior version of Babar azam but the same mould.

Williamson single handidely carried the entire fragile NZ batting lineup in 2019. Rn Williamson is the weakest link cause the current unit of Conway, Chapman, Mitchell, Ravindra, Philips etc are modern day batsmen and this tournament is proving why the era of accumulators like Smith, Root, bavuma, williamson, Babar is a facade and beyond outdated. This WC has been a reality check for all these accumulators.

Out of these guys, only kohli is the one who has always adjusted to the modern game and knew which approach to take on what situation

 

[jnaveen1980]

In world cup high chases are not easy. It is tricky.

 

[Devadwal]

Gone

 

[WengerOut]

Eng should bat normally till over 30. Then recalibrate the options whether to go for it or NRR salvation.

 

[Ali Active]

eng 3 down

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

Master anchor for sure, but was never a match winner in ODIs. His style of batting isn't suited for high ODI chases.

Yeah, still a better ODI player than Babar and williamson IMO

 

[Ali Active]

stokes is key he can play long innings

 

[topspin]

How did QDK not see that?

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Lose by 300 please

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

I partially agree with you

 

[JattMaula]

Umpire is blind as a bat.

No wait, a bat would have gone deaf with loudness of that edge!

 

[Technics 1210]

The hype behind England was real! This is a shambolic performance!

Jos Buttler the captain surely shares the blame here.

 

[mominsaigol]

Kane is also a 75 strike rate guy. He has one of the worst strike rate in 2019 world cup.

Because the whole batting lineup was beyond fragile in 2019, 90% of the time he was forced to anchor and save the innings.

He no longer is needed in 2023 because Conway, Mitchell, Ravindra, Chapman, Philips all play modern cricket.

As I said before this WC has proven to be a wake up call for all these 1990 era frauds in root, Smith, Williamson, Babar etc. It's time for the 2023 approach which is why India is so succesful and why sa is tanking 400 scores and why NZ has been strolling through win after win without Williamson being a thorn

 

[JattMaula]

How did QDK not see that?

Blindsided by batters behind.
