India vs Pakistan | 5th match | Asia Cup | Dubai | Sep 19, 2018 | Pakistan Innings

I just don't understand how can a team play 4 fast bowlers in the UAE. Like how?????????

Mickey needs to shed his South African mentality and adopt a UAE mentality. UAE = spinners. It's that simple.

I wouldn't be surprised if he decides to play 3 fast bowlers in Tests against Australia and NZ and then lament as to why we lost the series.

You will get your answer tonight

These two need to be out there till the 45th over atleast by that point we need to nudge and nurdle our way to 170 odd.
 
The UAE is the worst place in the world to play cricket.

And best country to play it is Northern Pakistan. The bouncy, rough, JUICY pitches of Gilgit and Swat with the likes of Shinwari streaming in at 150 kmph+. Just amazing!

This Jadhav is so annoying... looks like a metha bowler by is picking wickets and not giving runs
 
Pandya's injury hurt Pakistan the most, babar and Malik were milking him 5 an over no sweat.

Once he was off the dwarf spinner came on and they got a good fielder in the injured players place. Both of which led to wickets. Luck on India's side.

Pakistan won the toss, Malik was dropped twice and India is down to 10 batsmen. And you think luck is on India's side?

Luck is totally with Pakistan and they are 120 for 6.
 
I think 120 is enough with amir blazing with 3 wickets in the beginning and Hasan Ali to mop up the tail following that :afridi

Nothing wrong with the strategy. Change of pace and bounce troubles here. Let's wait for the verdict.
 
why why why
why we always does this....can't we really have patience against Indian bowlers....who are minnows against all other team and we look them as great bowlers.
 
Should just go hell to leather now... no point hanging about
 
As I said, Jadhav to take a 5-fer and become our own Moeen-alitharan.

Why is it that whatever I say becomes right?:tahir2
 
Pakistan's planning is a step ahead. Come finals Jadav will be tonked 360 degrees, so give him today's battle!
 
Our batting is Dhawan and Rohit. The rest cannot even score 50 runs together.

Pandya will not bat either. So its only 9 batsmen.

If the target is within reach without stressing asking rate, Indian No. 10 & 11 is capable of sticking around and put a partnership to drag on inch by inch - that's batting culture, not only dependent on skill.
 
Terrible batting performance. Can't believe what a terrible batting line up we have with no experience in the middle at all. Were playing about 7 tailenders after Malik and Babar for goodness sake. There seems to have been no planning at all in to the match. Hong Kong did much better then us yesterday that says it all.
 
All you critics kindly hold your horses till the match and the tournament ends, as India isnt defined by one poor day against Hong Kong, Pak shouldn’t be defined by this one performance
 
Aamir is usually able to hang around, but this is a big ask. Too many overs to go.
 
This is not a 300 pitch. This is not even a 280 pitch. 250 would have been a winning target. Think we might end up with 180-200 and would have to bowl out of our skins.
 
Problem is that even if India scored 200 we would have struggled chasing.

There is a definite mental frailty against Indian bowlers and the fact that we have a very weak batting line up

100%True , every single cricket match starts with equal footinngs , nomater what people say whoever perfoms on the day wins regardless of ratings and status
 
Good Rahul is dropped/rested! He would have died in this heat and his career would have come to a permanent halt! His body can't take this!

just wait for the fluke nonsense to be started ........ anytime now....
