What's new

India vs Pakistan | Match 22, World Cup | Manchester | June 16, 2019 | India innings

Hassan is low on confidence, needs a wicket of a top order batsmen somehow
 
decent from KL, atleast did not throw his wicket early for a change. Could not rotate the strike effectively though
 
I heard the Pak players were out at a burger place and ice cream joint yesterday, not great prep is it before a big match? No discipline.
 
Wahab of all people provides the breakthrough! Who would have thought?

Those who have watched all the games would know Wahab has bowled very well this world cup and has created chances in the middle overs. He has had plenty of catches put down or edges produced without slips in place.
 
Majid and Imran don't get along so that won't happen. He also happens to be his cousin so the opposition and media will eat him alive on the basis of nepotism

Relations between Majid and Imran are fine now from last few years although your second point about opposition is valid and if i am not wrong Majid is also going through health issues.
 
Sarfraz won two critical tosses - against Aussies and now against Indians. Both times send them to bat - Aussie opening pair scored 144, in 22 overs, Indian opening pair scored 136 in 23 overs. Not sure if I should cry or laugh .......
 
I hope India don't waste the opportunity of getting 400 against this lower opposition.

Golden opportunity to do so, they'd need to score around 10 an over though.
 
as good india is they have all the luck vs Pakistan
not like we would win with luck either

If Pakistan dont mess up big time this is a 500 match 350 by India and 150 by Pakistan so no 400 is not on the cards as of yet.
 
What's with these indian umpires. They over glorify indian players and are just bitter and full of criticism for opposition. Very biased and salty

Best captain since IK .

Yeah absolutely he has bowled equally well like amir.5 catches have already been dropped off his bowling
 
What is Sarfaraz planning to do with Amir's remaining 6? The only chance we have is if we get these two quickly so why aren't we bowling our best bowler?
 
I called it months ago how Sarfraz is a rubbish as a captain. As soon as things go away from plan A , he is clueless. Doesn't make the team on merit. No personality. Awful communicator. Screams at players for making a mistake.

We were never going anywhere under this guy. The CT wasnt a fluke. It papered over the cracks of this pathetic team and even worse captain.
What exactly is plan A? If it's to bowl short and wide, then I'm afraid Sarfraz should be looking to come in with a million plans on the field.

Horrific performance so far.
 
Horrible commentary duo of Sanju and Waz is back. Wish there was an alternative comm audio stream.
 
Saw off Amir's opening spell, so he did his job and more.

That was decent but what followed after was not. He is going to be a really poor partner for Sharma if he is going to take as much time as he did.
 
at least 350 on the cards at the moment but our fast bowlers should bowl better with the old bowl.
 
Hopefully this will be Hasan last match for pak

Like with many pak bowlers, burns out after 2 years.

We stuck with Sami for too long and I hope we don't do the same with Hassan
 
Majid will be another Ehsan Mani - he is 75+ now. My old man is similar aged - and I have seen what that critical age of 70+ can do, even to one of the best Officers of 1969 batch.

Imarn need not to baby feed PCB - Wasim K is quite capable, what Khan needs is a young (as executive, may be early 50 max), crook but passionate guy, who can kick a$$ for 100 hours a week and clear the garbage on WK's path.

And, I say it again - he should appoint a 3/4 star active General as PCB chairman on ad hoc basis, kick current COO's backside out of PCB HQ and modify Wasim Khan's role to a CTO (Chief Technical Officer) role - anything that touches cricket from School cricket lunch menu to National team's toss, should cross Wasim's path; if required double his salary, so that guy works for 15 hours a day.

This is simply unacceptable, for someone watching PAK cricket for 35+ years now, almost from diaper.

Some of the things you mentioned are doable except appointing an active/retired General as PCB chairman because opposition is already after IK for being too soft on Army and IK would never take a massive risk like this by getting Army Generals involved in PCB.
 
Why hasnt captain genius brought amir back with kohli in instead of leak runs and get kohli off to a flyer with hassan
 
Everyone talking about Indian middle order being weak . That's only the case when you take early wickets, if India set a platform they can do the job to get India to a decent score.

Ah stop. All you guys moaning about the wrong decision at the toss would have been saying they got it wrong the other way if Pakistan batting first and were 80/4 after 20 overs.

Nothing to do with the toss, India are just a superior opposition.

No more than 2 Pakistanis would be good enough to make the current Indian side, there is no surprise with what is happening here.
 
Do they use 2 new balls? So is it one ball from each end? When did that start happening?
 
All Indian commentators are so obnoxious and annoying, not to mention biased.
 
i think india will be 250/1 after 37 when rain will arrive.


pakistans target will be to chase 285 in 35 overs
 
Someone has convinced Hassan Ali that he has a bouncer like Malcolm Marshall and he refuses to believe otherwise

Horrific performance so far.

Bowl this bowler at this time. When that doesn't work he just makes random changes .

This team maybe average but how we are getting beaten so easily with this guy as captain isn't a coincidence.
