India chases down 350 in 48 overs - Pakistan chases down 220 in 47 overs, the gulf between two sides

Pakistan concedes 220 against Australia in Australia. India concedes 350 against England in India. The gulf between the two sides. Putting conditions to one side, India should be horrified at how far off they are.

Easily the worst thread I've seen in a while.

Irrespective of this, the gulf between two side's approach is clearly visible.
 
Dhoni and Yuvraj are still fine. Dhawan playing is a disgrace when he's just not performed in ages and players like Pant, Rahul and Iyer are so much better than him.

Yuvraj Singh in ODIs post World Cup 2011

20 matches, 278 runs, ave 18.53, HS 61, four ducks
 
India concedes 350

Pakistan concedes....

Against an Australian lineup which regularly scores 300+

Think.
Much slower track, much bigger ground & basically a tired Aussie batting lineup. If this were a CT or WC game Aus would've scored at least 300 at the MCG & Eng wouldn't have reached 300 in Pune.

Think about that, the intensity in both the games isn't anywhere near the level at which Aus/India play when at their peak with Aus having a much higher ceiling.

As for the thread itself, the philosophies of both teams are completely different and diametrically opposite.

Pakistan work on the principle of whatever you restrict us for, we'll make sure we restrict you more..

India work on the principle of whatever you score against us, we'll make sure we'll score more.

It's how it is and it's how it has always been. Tough to change these things overnight. So difficult to compare both teams as they operate on two different philosophies.

Good post, Pakistan team doesn't really have a plan B at this point, we need everything to fall exactly in place for us to win a match, that reduces the chance of winning by quite a bit..

The two games we won vs India in Aanay do Series was a prime example, we restricted India to low totals in both games, both low scoring ties.. complete contrast to what India usually plays like in home conditions

Though you have to admit that India can bundle out the opposition for sub-250 scores on occasion. Pakistan on the other hand can never chase 350 in an ODI format. Never.
 
SIF - I have always maintained that unless the target is less than 200, you should always keep up with the asking rate when chasing in ODI's.

Our asking rate was about 4.4 at the start of the innings and hence we played at that rate throughout the innings barring the first two overs - when Hafeez played out a maiden.

Of course - our batting is suspect when chasing larger scores but there was nothing wrong with our approach today.

I would actually argue this is also effective in the early stages of ICC tournaments as wins always override any tiebreakers such as NRR etc. It is only when you have to chase a target to achieve a bonus point or boost your NRR should you change your approach.

What you say is right. I have no disagreements there.

The issue however is not about what's the best way to win the game. The issue about taking an approach that would help Pakistan in a meaningful way.

Now as I said before, I am not asking them to chase it down in 35 overs or attack at certain stages risking a win. Not at all. What I am saying is that crawling to a win chasing 220 odd in 48 overs helps you win the battle but does nothing for you in terms of winning the war.

Pakistan must make a note of those who screwed up even during this chase and build a team accordingly.

You are not going to get teams out for 220 often so this being the right approach for Pakistan is a moot point.

I hope you see where I am coming from.

With all being said, to contain Aus and win against them in Aus is always special. More so when their team is at full strength bowling wise.

There's no point trying to evaluate this sort of counter-factual.

If someone is asked to submit a project by Friday, and he does so on Friday evening, you can't conclude that he's incompetent because the project was easy. Or even more bizzarely, that the fellow who was asked to submit on Thursday is a better worker because he submitted quicker.

Wrong analogy for the situation.

In your analogy, submission of that particular project is the ultimate goal and success/failure is based on whether someone submitted it or not.

Same way, if you take winning an ODI against Aus chasing 220 as the ultimate goal, then Pakistan did fine.

But in the larger sense, its not the goal.

In other words, if a guy has to spend a long long time to complete a simple project and delivers it just before the deadline...then he is going to struggle to complete more complex projects that would require him to work faster.

I think of no comparison between the pitches, but we have conceded over 400 runs twice in ODIs, we've conceded a 360, a 370 in UAE, 390 vs England.. and some 340s-350 here and there..

When did we chase them down???

When???

You raise a good point but could have worded the thread better.

Or its also possible that people have discussed this issue at length and are not in mood for another long discussion about Pakistan's slow batting so the thread took a whole new direction.

Or its possible that people thought you were underplaying Pak's win against Aus (not that you did) with some faulty stats and went on a different direction.

Or its also possible that people feel what Pakistan did was the right thing to do against Aus and the end result for the game is what matters.

Exactly ... Forget 350 ... even 280-300 is tough ask for Pakistan
 
He should be playing IPL to come to radar of selectors.

He made his FC debut for Rajasthan this year and already put in some good performances. He is just 17. What he needs is a strong foundation to his game. IPL and the money can come later..

I just believe this scoring rate is not cut out for modern cricket, when you are playing 17 overs in dot balls out of your first 24 overs... you know there is just something wrong in your approach..

This approach will win you games when you have 220 to chase, but will never get you to win anything above 250, which has been the case for a lonng time for us..

The first game's total is a big example of how we crumbled while chasing, and mind you that wasn't a difficult total to chase either, Smith admitted post match that in both matches they have been well short of their expected targets

Exactly.

The first game was there for the taking.

Pakistan could have been 2-0 leading this series.
 
Also I feel as a modern team we should've chased this down in 40 overs.. 47overs is just too many to chase down 220.. teams are chasing 350 in these many overs these days


That was the crux of my thread, a criticisim on our scoring rate (not the victory)
 
If Azhar isn't in the team or gets out in the first few overs, I back Pakistan to score 320+ against this England attack in Pune, but if they are chasing 350, they will get out for around 270 in the 40th over. Pretty much how the 4th ODI vs England in the UAE panned out.
 
Pakistan concedes 220 against Australia in Australia. India concedes 350 against England in India. The gulf between the two sides. Putting conditions to one side, India should be horrified at how far off they are.

You are missing the point (deliberately?). On similar bowling friendly tracks India has restricted teams below 250 many times and won. Heck in 2008 we actually WON the CB series on low scoring pitches, defeating Australia in the best of 3 finals in Australia.

However, Pakistan has never chased 350 on any wicket. The comparison is valid

This aus team is a team of hacks with one or 2 proper batsman.if they cannot defeat this team then they will never get a better chance.

I checked the stats and you wouldn't believe this ... in the last 5 yrs we have restricted teams to under 250 on more occasions(25) than Pak(21) has :

Percentage is more important than absolute numbers. Also, who were the oppositions.

A 5 match series against Zimbabwe is a good way to improve stats.
 
Perhaps the thread should be Pakistan could not chase 270 but India chased 350.... Gulf between the two sides

This.. Quality is the difference... They can improve after this match against AUS but the way Pakistani fans defend their side just after one game is hilarious... Just ask the how many times they have beaten us in recent times... Champions trophy 2013, world cup 2015, and numerous t20 games including world cups, Asia cup etc...
 
Context brother !!!
Australia in Australia vs England in india
Didnt india lose 4-1 to the aussies ??

Kohli alone makes India one of the most dangerous lineups in ODIs capable of chasing big totals.
 
Irrespective of this, the gulf between two side's approach is clearly visible.

I'm not even attempting to argue that Pakistan is the better ODI team. I just find this a very low-class thread.
 
No one is saying Pakistan had to chase it in 35 overs.

They are saying Pakistan could have done better than 48 overs.

They are not saying Pakistan should have forced players to attack more and risked a win and crucial points.

They are saying make a note of those who screwed up even during this performance and make changes as the value of this win doesn't extend beyond the points Pakistan gets.

If the ultimate goal is to just get to CT or WC and play....sure status quo is fine.

If the ultimate goal is to win tourneys, action is required.

Then you have posts like these defending this thread. :))

If Pakistan can bowl teams out for 250 in England later this year and then scrape their way to a win in 50 overs, I certainly will not be complaining. Winning is what matters, not how you do it at the end of the day.

And of course, you won't pause and turn this around on India, will you? Will they be able to win the CT if their bowling keeps conceding 320+?
 
Pakistan does not need to chase 350 since they do not give away that magnitude of a score in the first place.

If Pakistan can restrict sides to less than 260 then I doubt they will be complaining much.

Maybe better comprehension can do a world of good. I have made enough posts in this thread for anyone to get what I am trying to say.

Sure....meet you in CT 2017.

We will see who restricts team better there.
 
Pakistan can only dream of scoring 350 plus. It's not that Pakistani batsmen don't have skills, but their poor running between the wickets and higher percentage of dot balls are the main culprit.

Pakistani batsmen are too fat and lazy, they rely heavily on boundaries.

Recently concluded eng series proves otherwise
 
I thought we were playing 50 over ODI game so we dont have to chase it down in 30 odd overs ??? am I wrong or OP is a little loose.

The irony is really strong. India is the better ODI team, no one denies that. The issue is this garbage thread and then the garbage posts that are defending it. Pakistan batted the way they should have to chase that target down and we need more of this sensible batting rather than them doing something stupid to make a point.

The only thing strong in here is the refusal to understand others' points.

I too didn't compare India and Pakistan teams. This was a much needed win by Pakistan (who could have been 2-0 in the series with a better effort) but the manner of victory (huffing and puffing) won't help Pakistan.

That doesn't mean they have to slog to look "cool" but just that they have to take action to remove slow coaches cos you sure won't restrict teams to low totals like this often.

Last time you played ODis against England in England (few months back), your bowlers got massacred mercilessly and the batting was left dumb founded on what to do.

So all this "doesn't matter if we can restrict teams to low scores" is nothing but denial.

OP is actually making a good point (but didn't word it the best way) and just because others abuse him doesn't make his points wrong.
 
^The opposite of it is true for India.

Chasing 350 on the back of superhuman Kohli doesn't mean the batting is all fine and dandy for CT 2017.

Bowling will get better for sure (Shami, Bumrah, Ash, Jaddu and 5th bowler along with Jadhav is rock solid in my opinion - even have Kuldeep as backup) but batting lineup needs to get sorted.
 
Pakistan may have a somewhat workable batting for modern era if they ruthlessly implement changes and keep testing bats.

Their bowling seems to be coming together.

Oh India has lots of problems in batting which Kohli is currently hiding by being a one man show
 
Why are people bashing the OP stating the truth?

Irrespective of conditions and team we have been horrible ODI batting side for last 6 years. It's a fact mostly we win because of our bowling and this is what happened yesterday but India mostly win due to their batting. Where were conditions when we were being beaten by every side travelling to UAE in one dayers? This same English side has smashed us in ODIs not too long ago so have the Aussies. We couldn't even win against a weaker NZ side and we were also white washed by Bangladesh at their home.

We should stop living in denial and accept that India is a far superior batting side which makes them a superior team compare to us.
 
Why are people bashing the OP stating the truth?

.

exactly, the point is, we can never chase 350...but the OP stated it in the wrong way I guess...

now people will come and say that Our bowling is way better but let me tell you that we conceded the highest number of runs i.e 445

We are way worse than them
 
Pak conceded 440 against the same England side not long ago.

Aus batting is fully dependent on Warner and Smith. You get them out, the rest will struggle to score 200.

England ODI team is much better than Aus ODI team. Aus has regressed severely both in ODI's as well as Tests.
 
I think of no comparison between the pitches, but we have conceded over 400 runs twice in ODIs, we've conceded a 360, a 370 in UAE, 390 vs England.. and some 340s-350 here and there..

When did we chase them down???

When???
When did we conceded 400 second time i know only that 444 game?
 
An easily debunked thread. Thank you for shutting this one down early folks.

Plenty of other logical reasons why India are a better team in all formats.
 
Good post, one of the few sane good ones. :najam

Can you first ask Ind to do what Pak bowling did? They DID NOT have to chase 350, so why should they play like they're chasing 350 AND score 220 in 35 overs!

But yeah Pak batting isn't good enough to consistently chase 300

Pakistans strength is bowling and Indias batting. Final result. Indias strength won them match. Pakistans did not. In summmary strength > weakness = victory

I know, that's true in ODIs.

Ind's batting wins them matches. We're a weaker side overall.
 
Maybe that was the 390 I was referring to.. I haven't checked on that

In other words, the moon is round.

Everybody knows that India is a better batting team and a much better overall ODI team, thanks to Kohli who is one half of Indian batting.

An easily debunked thread. Thank you for shutting this one down early folks.

Plenty of other logical reasons why India are a better team in all formats.

The main one being they win more matches. Who has the better batting or bowling is a side issue.
 
Pakistan concedes 220 against Australia in Australia. India concedes 350 against England in India. The gulf between the two sides. Putting conditions to one side, India should be horrified at how far off they are.

Easily the worst thread I've seen in a while.

OP got son'd pretty quick there. :))
 
Pakistan win today was 1000 Times superior to indian team win.
Winning an ODI in australia against this kind of a bowling is no joke.

India can only dream of it, actually most teams will loose 5-0, 4-1 against this aussie team in Australia.

Beating England in asia in an ODI is really no achievment.

what a joke.
Indian win was million times better than pakistani win.
australia is playing poorly in last few matches and not in form.

India has beaten much better australian team in australia in CB series in 2008.
Also India chased down 331 in australia last time in ODI

India were 63/4 vs england and still chased down 350 EASILY which pakistanis cannot even think in dreams.

The comparison was stupid but if you believe Pakistan are anywhere close to Aus-Eng-Ind-SA when it comes to modern day ODI batting, you are just being naive. There is a reason Pakistan are battling for a spot to qualify for World cup directly. One win out of the blue doesn't make them top team.
 
India has crossed 400 runs 5 times.

They kill the bowler's chances by making such pathetic wickets.
 
Pakistans strength is bowling and Indias batting. Final result. Indias strength won them match. Pakistans did not. In summmary strength > weakness = victory

The only thing strong in here is the refusal to understand others' points.

I too didn't compare India and Pakistan teams. This was a much needed win by Pakistan (who could have been 2-0 in the series with a better effort) but the manner of victory (huffing and puffing) won't help Pakistan.

That doesn't mean they have to slog to look "cool" but just that they have to take action to remove slow coaches cos you sure won't restrict teams to low totals like this often.

Last time you played ODis against England in England (few months back), your bowlers got massacred mercilessly and the batting was left dumb founded on what to do.

So all this "doesn't matter if we can restrict teams to low scores" is nothing but denial.

OP is actually making a good point (but didn't word it the best way) and just because others abuse him doesn't make his points wrong.

Pakistan is not going to start scoring or chasing 300 consistently any time soon. Therefore, it makes sense for them to play according to their strengths which is to bowl teams out for scores under 270 and then hope the batting doesn't collapse.

Anyone who is suggested that Pakistan should have chased that total down in lesser number of overs is being totally unreasonable and deserves the flak that comes their way. This is a place where we haven't won in 12 years.
 
Strange thread. Btw we did win the game. Honestly I don't care whether we scored 220 in 47 overs or 27 overs. The run rate is not at stake, the win was. Of course overall Pakistan is a poor batting side in ODIs. We all know this but it's a strange example to highlight your point.
 
Much slower track, much bigger ground & basically a tired Aussie batting lineup. If this were a CT or WC game Aus would've scored at least 300 at the MCG & Eng wouldn't have reached 300 in Pune.

Think about that, the intensity in both the games isn't anywhere near the level at which Aus/India play when at their peak with Aus having a much higher ceiling.
Just look at aus' bowling line up it shows how much they care about this odis,joke bowling line up and pak still struggle to chase 220.
If aus would have play their atg bowling line up composed of:richardson,hastings,marsh,faulkner,maxwell,smith pak wouldn't even have scored 120.
 
About OP : It's not comparable there are too many differences between the two matches and everyone know india's batting is far ahead.

Yes it is Pakistan's fault Australia isn't bringing their intensity?

Also Australia played the following team:

Warner
Khawaja
Smith
Head
Marsh
Maxwell
Wade
Faulkner
Starc
Cummins
Hazelwood


This is the absolute best that Australia has to offer in terms of batting and bowling talent, none of their front line cricketers was injured or benched and Pakistan still beat them fair and square in their home in a ground where God knows when they lost the last time.

Australia chasing this down well before the 45th over.. and we chased down 220 in the 47th..

not only that, we've gone on to make 260 from a promising position where 300 was possible, this sort of runs are not adequate for a pitch that has a minimum of 280 as runs required for victory.. I feel even 300 would've been difficult to defend on this wicket, we were well short..

When I say we should've chased the total down in the previous match earlier I was referring to something the Aussies did today, we slowed the game down even more to make it certain we chase it..

This is what a professional chase looks like, no doubt our batting let us down

we are stuck in the wrong decade

India also recovered from 25/3 and are well on their way to 300. Not sure whether we will be able to defend that or not but batting wise india and australia are ahead of others currently. England and South Africa are good too.

Pakistan were 79/3 in first game, were all out for 176 in the first ODI chasing 268.. shows our batting depth, and our low standards..

India were 70 odd for 4 in their first ODI vs England.. went on to chase 350
 
Aus started slow and scratched around. But in the end, they chased 264 in 44 overs. Could have more too if they wanted to accelerate.

Its about mindset first.

Being happy to chase down 220 in 48 overs will never work in modern era. The goal is to work on improving that. And the first step starts with acknowledging that crawling your way to low scores is not acceptable.
 
Dont think any comparison is left to be done after what happened today in last 10 overs in Pakistan and Indian innings

Last 2 years bowling stats in ODIs

India - 37 ODIs, 265 wickets, bowling average 31.4, ER 5.21, SR - 36.1
Pakistan - 41 ODIs, 254 wickets, bowling average 39.4, ER 5.49, SR - 43

We take more wickets per ODI at a better average, ER and SR! Thank you :)
 
Pakistan are going to chase a similar target now. Today they have to start attacking from ball 1.

No excuses now, our 'superior' bowlers got carted around... people said India did it on a super flat wicket.. well this means we are more than capable of doing it here

We are a better bowling side than Pakistan especially considering that we bowl on super flat decks in India unlike the slow UAE decks
 
Some pakistani posters were of opinion how Pakistan wouldnt allow opp teams to score more than 300 on consistent basis because of their supa dupa superior bowling . I hope they know now they cannot even give that excuse.
